In flight between Tampa and Newark, -
I was a passenger on JetBlue flight 574 seat 7A when I was looking out the window and saw a tic tac shaped white object that crossed over what appeared to be several hundred feet above the plane headed in a western direction. The object had a plume/exhaust coming out the end of it and was moving rapidly with no observable wings or markings. I was startled as to the proximity of it that something could be passing over so closely (we were at just under 39,000 feet about 90-120 min i into the flight). I’ve been sitting with this for the last 3 weeks trying to come to terms with it - I was in denial looking for answers. I regret not mentioning this to pilots when we landed- thought about reaching out to JetBlue now but landed here instead after researching best way to report this. Would have thought anti-collision warning would have gone off inside cockpit. I am an accountant and live in New York City, 52 years old and fit of mind and body. Father of 18 year old.

I sit at the marina every morning for the sunrise to meditate and this morning I noticed above the cloud and fog line would appear to be part of the clouds at first but then I noticed it getting brighter and it's still there with the clouds dissipating at first I thought it was a planet in the distance but it's not it's staying in the same location however it seems to be changing from a cube shape to a sphere and back and I don't know what the heck this thing could be I do know that it is not a part of the landscape as I sit in the same spot with the same view every morning and I would have noticed something like this before and I looked through my pictures of the cityscape and see nothing to that nature in the previous photos I am approximately 36 miles from where this appears to be it's probably further for me but that's a guesstimate I've been here for an hour and the thing has not moved only change shape and gotten brighter and dimmer it's very odd

I was driving to work in my hilly neighborhood. I saw some lights in the sky. At first I thought it was a helicopter. I stopped the car to focus more on this object and realized it was a UFO. It had red and white flashing light on it. It was still in the sky, as to be hovering. I continued to watch it. It then moved to the right and stopped and was hovering again. I got on my car phone to call my husband and told him to go outside and see if he could see it but he could not see anything. Then the spacecraft took off and vanished. It was large in size, round and a typical saucer shape that you would see in photos of UFO’s. There was no noise coming from the aircraft

I saw an object fly past my airport in a weird Direction and I watched it make a turn that was just not possible by a plane or helicopter today it had yellow green and red lights flashing everywhere and a strong white light pointing in the direction of the airport I watched it makes several circles and different directions and then it just spit off after sitting there still not moving just watching in the direction of the airport it was so overwhelmingly shocking it was low enough that I could clearly see it was a round object with bright lights coming out and white bright light shining straight out of it as a headlight it was zipping around in circles and it was going in all different directions it Stood Still for about 30 seconds and then it shot off

First, the story: I was hesitant to write this experience but I feel like it is something I should share. I was driving north on I-95 in Georgia, USA between Brunswick and Savannah in Georgia after visiting my sister in Florida . The date was 1/11/2020 and around 1:30 AM is when it happened. As I was driving all off the sudden, very high up in the atmosphere a red light appeared, directly to the right (east) of the highway. It stayed there for a second or 2 before descending, very rapidly, over the course of 4-5 seconds to just above the tree line. It struck me as odd because the lights didn't blink, they were very bright from a distance, and the distance that it descended in that time was staggering. I thought it was a plane descending the opposite direction I was traveling but the non blinking lights and fast descent threw me off. It stopped at the end of the descent, right above the tree line, where it remained stationary. Numerous times when I have been driving I have noticed that when pla! nes travel in the opposite direction to you, when they are low they give the appearance they are stationary so I chalked it up to that, but something still seemed off. It took about 10 seconds before I got to the craft (I was traveling ~80 mph) and realized it was something I've never seen before. When I passed it, it was hovering about 50 ft SE and 50 ft vertical (best guess) over the tower east of I-95 and a side road (the side road was directly east of I-95, south of belfast keller road). This tower is right off the highway, maybe 100 feet. It was so close and low, and so crystal clear that I couldn't really process what I had seen at the time. It was ever so slightly rotating (barely discernable) clockwise in the x and y direction (z being vertical or normal to the earth) when I passed it. After I passed it I looked in the rear view mirror and couldn't see anything but I think the tree line hid it from that angle. I didn't have a good night camera at the time either (my! cell phone camera was cracked, and on top of that takes horri! ble nigh t pictures), which I wish I had. It was also a long drive (~7 hours) so I kept on driving to get home. The only thing I could think of was that this was military in nature and that the craft liked radio towers. Description of craft: I would describe the craft as follows but I have also made a 3D CAD model of it as well in autodesk inventor. It was shaped like an equilateral triangle, with each side having the length of a semi truck with trailer or slightly bigger. The edges of that triangle were chamfered and it appeared to have no thickness due to the angle I saw it at. There were 6 lights, symmetric about the center and having the same exact color as a car brakelight. There was another triangular shaped, vertically recessed area in the center that was chamfered to the lower section.. In that center, there was a dome (Imagine a sphere that has been chopped at 1/3 to 1/4 of it's diameter) that appeared to be made of a thick glass but whatever was underneath was the blackest black I have ever seen. It stood out. I was driving so I couldn't say it made no noise but it didn't make any discernable noise.

Sherman, TX
At 23:30 I was headed home from work dring N on hwy 75. There were no cars driving my direction at that time, though street cleaning and police vehicles were stopped headed South. I noticed a green antenna like conglomeration in sky from a short distance, and upon driving almost under it, i could see it was hovering above (200ft approx) the exit for texoma parkway and hwy 75 N. Originally i thought it was a drone as it had green lights decorating each of the 'antenna filaments'; it also had two red lights. However, this object was as large as two full size helicoptors. It was massive! I circled back at next exit to try and capture photo and it was gone! I asked my coworkers the next day, and they said it must be some sort of military super-drone, though there are no bases anywhere in area, and city if Sherman could never afford something of this nature. Ive searched images online and no hits. What was it?? Stranger still, when i got home a few minutes later, ! i noticed my heated vest had turned itself off as well as my phone (always keep both on and they were on when i got into car to drive home)

I went outside at 9 pm to take out trash. Right above me a little to the west I saw a strange orb of lights that seemed to change from orange to whole to red and the lights were hovering. I'm a pilot and look up at planes all the time. My first thought was a drone with some weird lights attached. There was no sound. I stared up at it for about 1 min. Then it started moving. The lights started to fade and now I could see at large black rectangle moving slowly to the east. It was a full moon and scattered clouds, but the sky was a gray color with the full moon. A couple white lights winked on this black rectangle then it went completely black. It was such a dark dark black color. Initially I thought this object was low, maybe 500 ft, but as it glided silently across the sky I saw it went above the the broken clouds. I've never seen anything glide so smoothly. It was the shape of a Hersey bar. It picked move slowly as it glided away completely black but I coul! d clearly see it's shape in the light night sky I watched it until it moved behind clouds. I was really in shock. I thought that's either some very advanced secret aircraft of ours or a UFO. It was amazing. I went inside and told a family member a nd texted a friend. I went on the internet to see if there was any news about this. I even called one of the local news networks to ask them if they had gotten any reports. I also check the weather to see what the cloud layer height was to get an idea of how big this really was. The pilot wether briefing I read said the clouds were scattered at 9500 feet. This object was above them and went through them at times. Based on that altitude Id guess the object was about 100 ft x 50 ft. I'll never forget this sighting. I already believed we are being visited by other planets. Now I can say I know for sure. This had to be a UFO.

Los Lunas, NM
3-4 unknown lights flying above the Los Lunas area on the evening of 1/9/2020. Specifically above the neighborhood north of Main Street Los Lunas, west of Hwy 314. Objects were quiet, and had a fireball appearance. Lights would disappear then reappear. Objects were not stationary and had a rotating pattern.

Various shades of Blue lights traveling northwest. Followed it for about 2 miles till it was lost then reappeared on the order zen more than 5 miles away. It would flash from a central position and then change locations. It did this maybe 6 times. 2 times it lit up and radiated light for long enough to tell it was moving very fast. Lost it then found a clearing in the tree line and could see it far away radiating about 5 beams of light from a central position. Then disappeared.

Possibly a plane, however I've never seen landing lights have a high beam and low beam. Also I didn't see any identification lights that a plane would have. Sorry this isn't a really exciting possible sighting.

Fairfield, IA
Upstairs neighbor knocked on our door and led us outside. She said it was tons of drones. Took awhile before i saw my first one. No stars or jets in the sky. Mostly cloudy, almost a full moon. Once i knew what i was looking for, i saw at least one per minute. Most were white lights, some reddish. Most small lights, but some were significantly brighter. All were headed in exact same direction, west, above the clouds. All moved silently at same speed. Came inside before all the activity was finished. I thought maybe they were a meteor shower, but there were no trails. Thought about calling airport to the north of town, but it was after hours. Ive never seen a drone at night, so i cant agree or disagree with what she said. I was trying to find out information online about military action, but i found nothing recent. Then i found this sight. I dont believe or disbelieve in ufos. I think they are a possibility though. Im curious about these lights.

There were about 3-5 white circular shapes swirling around in circles and then meeting in the middle. They were very light and not very noticeable unless you were consistently looking at them, so it helped that it was already dark out. They were the most visible when they went across clouds. It continued this pattern for about 10 minutes before I went back inside, so there’s no telling how long it was going on. I’m the distance there was one central ball of light behind some clouds, but that may have been the moon. At first I thought it could be a lamp causing it, but it was moving across the sky as I walked so the idea of a lamp is unlikely. Also, I looked around and saw nobody with a lamp. As I was walking, a fellow student turned to me and asked if I saw them too, so I know I wasn’t imagining things.

Libby, MT
At approximately 520 mountain time, my partner and I were driving home from the store. A silver, metallic orb was suspended about 3 stories across the street from our house. There were bright red, green, yellow blinking and rotating lights around the bottom of the orb. We got out of our car and walked across the street to look at the orb, trying to identify if we thought it was a drone or some kind of satellite. The object was hovering initially and then, without a sound, and very quickly began to move upward into the atmosphere and eventually appeared as if it had “star like” qualities, and then disappeared UP into space.

Dunnellon, FL
Dunnellon, Fl, approximately 10.30 a.m. 1/9/2020, in the neighborhood of THE WOODLANDS. Object sited above SW 102 ST. RD and U.S. 41. Object was rectangular shaped, silver/metallic in color, with a dome(?) below it. Object moved in the northerly direction, silently. I took 2 photos, one of the entire object in full view before it disappeared behind the tree line, and the second picture of it moving past the tree line. The second pic only shows the "nose" of the object appearing from behind the tree line and a small portion of the "lower" dome(?) Upon reviewing my phone pics, on the second pic was in my phone. Encounter occurred 1/4 mile from S.W. 102 ST. RD and HWY 41. I then turned left on S.W. 102 ST. RD. to find the object. An object this size would have been easily spotted OR seen OR heard along 102 ST. RD. Yet I found no trace of the object anywhere along 102 ST. RD or within the neighborhood, although I drove around for five minutes looking for it. I have emailed five pics of the object to ufocntr@nwlink.com.

On Thursday, January 9th at 9:56am I was taking my puppy out to do her business in my yard. I mentally asked to see a ufo. After asking I looked up and decided to take some pictures of the sky. I didn’t see anything with my naked eye, but after zooming in on the 4 pictures I took I saw something silver or white in the sky that was the shape of a cylinder on its side. I don’t see wings, or any other distinguishing shape or marks.

I was driving by myself to work in warren. There was another car a ways in front of me that also might of seen it. I was on rt. 202 turning on to rt. 7 when I observed a fast moving green ball of fire fall straight down from the sky. I thought it was a missile at first and waited for an explosion but nothing happened. The object moved far to fast to even attempt to record. I didn't have time to stop and wait to see if there would be more.

Driving down the interstate going Northbound on I-5 and noticed one object in the sky with a red flashing strobe flying abnormally low and flew across the sky horizontally in excess speed then cut right going away from me. The object covered many miles then made another right going out of sight in the distance.

Le Roy, NY
About 5 miles west of Le Roy, in the distance I could see a very big and bright light in the low middle of the night sky. It had finished snowing for the evening so there were no stars in the sky. I saw it outside my window and called for someone else in the house to witness it as well as someone on video call. The two of us watched for a few minutes until it changed. The light started moving left to right rapidly. Then it stopped back in the same position I found it. Then, the light eventually and stunningly SUDDENLY went dim. Almost as if a car had turned off its high beams. The light went from bright to dim several times in one minute. Then the bright white light stayed dim and slowly started moving to the right and as it moved, it got dimmer and seemingly red in color. For maybe 30 seconds until it absolutely faded away as it was heading north in the right direction. And when it disappeared, I got the impression the must-be town’s light beneath it became! lighter as if it had given light back to it.

I was driving, and noticed 3 orange glowing circles in the sky all together forming a triangle, and the closer I drove towards them the further away they got until they finally dissipated into nothing, but once they started going away it was very fast, much faster than any man made aircraft could travel. I kept my eye on the UFO’s until I could no longer see them. Blew my mind. THIS IS NOT A PRANK!!!!! I got home about 3 or 4 minutes after seeing them, and busted in the door and nearly yelled to my husband saying “you will never believe what I just saw!!!” Then we googled images that were as close to what I saw and surly enough there were a few images that were spot on to what I saw! Unfortunately since I was driving I did not get any photos, had I realized what was happening sooner I would have pulled over and gotten some.
