North Andover, MA
I was sitting on top of my friends truck with about 20 kids. We just got ice cream and we’re enjoying the stars. Suddenly I noticed 5 stars in a pentagon formation moving together in perfect alignment. Never broke formation. Never stopped. Looked like stars but they moved very fast and it was clear they were smaller and inside the earths atmosphere. I yelled to my friends and they saw it as well.

Ripley, TN
Saw a very peculiar thing in the eastern night sky, around 8 pm Tuesday night about five miles north of Ripley TN. Was clear and cold with tons of stars visible. A single bluish - green light, not blinking, was quickly tracing a daisy shape in the sky. Repeated the same pattern for about twenty minutes. Unable to determine size or distance but was as bright as surrounding stars. Rural area with trees in all directions around highway 51 so I don't think it was a drone (my first guess)

I was standing outside and noticed a bright object and was starring at it when it started to come closer as if it knew we were watching it. The bright object was coming fast, I thought it was a plane, but once it was close it stopped. I ran inside to get my binoculars, once I got them I tried looking at it but something kept blocking my view as if it was blocking my view by covering the end of the binoculars, I tried several times and it kept doing the same thing. It was weird so I did the second best thing and that was grab my phone and start recording. I live out in the country so it’s super dark out here we see all the stars but this was far from a star. This isn’t the first sighting either. I didn’t report the other ones. Anyways in my video when I look at it and zoom it, it’s this circle shape object with an outer ring around it, spinning super fast I mean uncontrollably fast. Almost like lightning fast. It’s very dark in my area, my neighbors had their porch light on we share a half an acre of land and there is one street light a quarter of a mile away from our house.

It was dark outside. I went out to smoke a cigarette and saw a round bright red light, not flashing, moving slowly towards me from north to south. It was in the direction of the airport here, but it did not have the required red light on the left wing and green light on the right. It also did not have any type of rotating beacon light. It was maybe 5 miles distant at about 3000'. It maneuvered slowly and strangely. It never got closer to me than maybe 3 miles (?). It made no sound, and as it was quiet outside, I likely would have been able to hear it at the estimated distance, like other aircraft I have seen out at the airport (KBTL). It turned towards the north and the light faded quite rapidly and became white. The main thing strange I noticed was the unusually bright red light. I have seen bright WHITE landing lights on aircraft, but never a very bright red one (I am a pilot and aircraft dispatcher and have been involved with aviation my entire life). This is not my first report on this site. I just wanted to post here to see if anyone else saw this. I told my friend about it, who lives in the city of Coldwater (about 30 miles southeast of me. He said he too saw it about 30 minutes later over his town, off to east (a bright non-flashing red light). I checked flightaware.com and saw no aircraft matching the flight profile I witnessed. I filmed it with my iphone6, a bit through the trees and have included it here.

San Francisco, CA
We were on a cruise in the San Francisco Bay. We were out on the observation deck (outdoors), in the back of the boat when I photographed a UFO in the sky. I asked my husband if he was seeing it and he said seeing what. I had him look at my iPhone screen and we watched it move on screen. It was just my husband and me to see it as we were alone at the rear railing. This craft appeared as a small white star in the sky that produced quick movements up down side side. It was not visible with the naked eye it was only seen through my iPhone screen as I was photographing the surroundings while we were on the boat in the middle of the bay. I have photos if you would like to see them.

This is the third night this week we have seen these UFOs. Except this time there was 6 and not one like the last two nights. There was also something different this night as well because we had done strange phenomena like weird bangs, shuffling along the side of our house and then what appears to be interference within the video recording itself. There is the main UFO or orb followed one by one by 5 smaller colored light UFOs or orbs. 1 orange, 2 white light, 2 red light, and 1 blue light. The blue light only appears after the ground phenomenon around us which also captured in video. Below is the link to the YouTube video. I recommend turning up the volume and pull up the big screen because this is just beyond anything I can describe in words. I’ve never seen anything like this and 3 nights in a row has me on edge. https://youtu.be/DttBu7_hnvU Thank you, take care Ariane Willians

Warren, RI
While going out to dinner with my wife and daughter, I noticed an object hovering in the sky, west of my location. None of the stars were out just yet, it was dusk. The object was very bright, shaped like an upside down egg. Both my wife and I got out of the car for a better look. This is when I noticed, a blue glowing wispy tail made up of smaller blue glowing orbs that undulated, as if were blowing in a breeze. The tail was 3 times longer than the main object, but in contained in its glow. Between the main object and the base of the tail I could see 2 small red orbs that looked to be alternating on and off. The main object seemed to glow with that shimmery soap bubble effect where you see a rainbow of colors. It made no sound that I could hear. My house is in the flight path to the state's airport, so I'm use to seeing planes in the sky and very familiar with aircraft lights. This was not that. My wife who's skeptical of the whole UFO thing had to admit th! e object was strange and not a star or a planet. After getting back from our dinner we grabbed our binoculars to get a better look since it was still in the sky, but further away and more south. The stars were out now and we could see the big dipper. This object was brighter than any of the stars visible. We checked the constellation maps and planet Venus was the brightest but it had already set. I kept checking throughout the evening and the object had drifted back to where I first saw it. By then the stars were clouded over, but I could still see this thing. So what ever it was it was below the clouds. Weird. I attempted to photograph with my cell phone, but the images captured looked like fuzzy blobs.

On Wednesday January 22nd around 4:45 pm I was traveling south on Memorial Parkway,when I noticed a bright white light object in the sky heading in my direction. It proceeded to pass over the area that I was near. Shortly afterwards I stopped at a local grocery store, while there in the parking lot I could still see the brightly lite object north of me. I noticed it was not moving but remained in a stationary position in the sky. I appoached a couple of people in the parking lot and pointed out the object to them ,they both thought it was curious. I then went into the store to get some groceries. When I was finished shopping I went back out to the parking lot to my car,where I noticed the object was still there in the same position. As I was putting my groceries into my car ,it started to move toward my direction. Then all of a sudden a flash of extreme bright white light occurred. As this was happening, the object started to desend into the tree line, after which I could no longer see it.

Driving my 2nd grader to school, he mentions he saw “something” in the sky. He proceeded to explain seeing a rectangular object. He described it as white with some black spots to one side and in the sky “way higher” than a plane. He didn’t see it for long as I turned in a different direction and he lost sight of it.

I noticed an elongated blackish triangle shaped object. It seemed to be moving pretty fast it’s angle was very steep. I would say on a 30 degrees and moving down. I was trying to get my phone and I was driving at the same time. It just disappeared.,I would say it may have been viewed for a few minutes. I never saw anything like this before. I’m 42 now, and can’t find an explanation.

The object was to low to be an aircraft , to high to be a blimp and it was just there hovering. The object had no wings at all, it appeared to be whitish or silverish. My husband noticed what I had pointed out and he could not identify this object either. My son had little interest in it at all , but he did look and he also seen it. There isn’t anything in that area that would explain hat it was that we all just seen. I don’t know how long it remained motionless, as we lost sight of it by traveling. I was able to capture a brief video recording of this object and from that video I was able to screenshot the object and zoom in for a better look at what it could be. Much to our surprise, the pics did confirm what we had seen plus confirmed that the o next was not an airplane or blimp.

While unloading my car at approximately 9:15 pm on Tuesday, January 21, as I was walking down my driveway back to my car, I noticed a bright orange oval light tilted sideways in the sky, directly across the street from me, over neighbors home. I watched it slowly move left while glowing for about 20 seconds then ran into my house for my phone camera which took less than 30 seconds. By then I could only see a tiny orange light far off in the distance then disappeared. I couldn't imagine what it could be. My first guess was UFO but researched to see if it was some type of drone but could not find anything with that description. Although I found information on other glowing orange UFOs similar to what I saw that were seen in other parts of the world. I viewed photos online and videos on YOUTUBE. https://youtu.be/yOU1ju1ViLo This video is an example of what I saw except it was tilted and just glowing different shades of orange. I did not see any other lights on i! t.

I saw a large black object in the sky while driving home from work. I tried to watch it as it hovered, trying to peer and see if it could’ve been a hot air balloon, so I took a picture zoomed in as much as I could so I could look at it when I got home. I didn’t see a basket below the object. I looked up weather balloons, and it didn’t look like that. It moved very slowly and was in the process of descending when I saw it. I was driving east on I-12 in Baton Rouge. I only saw one large roundish black object at 4:54 PM on 01/21/2020.

Extremely slow moving cylinder shaped object in sky to the west just above the tree line. There was no noise, no vapor, no lights...just the craft. It moved at a crawl.

While traveling south on interstate 75 my fiancee and I saw a very large amber glow in the distance with what seemed to be a cone shape in the center of the sphere from its location to the earth. As we got closer the glowing air around the vessel almost seemed pixelated. We snapped a couple pictures and a short video as we passed through the glow. After a minute or two of talking about what we believed had just happened my fiancee turned around to see what it looked like from where we now where and it was gone. The span of the object was huge, we originally saw it from several miles away, but yet after we went through the light it simply disappeared.

Has ANYONE on this sight ever reported anything like this? OR know if it was a natural phenomena or military device etc. Any info on this would be appreciated. I'm still in awe I saw an unidentified object in the sky last night! We had a 4.4 earthquake Sunday, the day before. Then 30 minutes after the quake, we saw 2 military choppers fly over. So that too is why I wonder if it could be night military craft. But I didn't get the feeling it was or was a meteor as it moved strategically irradically and hovered. Just stunned at the bizzarity we may not be alone and such phenomena in the sky never is directly explained. Did anyone else report or see this?

at about 12:50 or so I was sitting down with my girlfriend to put together a puzzle . shortly after we began separating out the edge pieces we heard an odd sound with a little prompting from my girlfriend I got up and looked out the window . across the street above the neighbors house was an odd red light that was steady and yellow light and green light blinking moved across the sky slowly . I moved from window to window in the house observing these lights that were formed in a triangular fashion . and then we both watched the lights from the last window as it drifted towards the North . the sound was almost indescribable . it certainly was no helicopter but the movements that made was like that of a helicopter it was absolutely no air plane . even one propelled by a propeller such as a crop duster would not move that slowly as for it being a drone I highly doubt it it was much larger than that I have no idea what this object was so I called for help to try! to identify it . I am skeptical of such things as aliens and UFOs so with much reluctance I attempted contacting Air Traffic Control and then online found the number to this site . less than an hour later we heard a similar sound and rush outside with the camera on the phone ready tape the same sort of object moving in another Direction nevertheless the camera was too weak to pick it up . it was an extraordinary clear night with no moonlight plenty of stars shining bright . ambient light was at a very low level and for that matter at my back . I spend a lot of time looking at the night sky and have never seen a sight so stunning or heard a soud so terrifying. truly A.M.

An array of greenish lights were seen in the sky. Reminded me of the aurora borealis. Lights seemed to fluctuate brightness.
