Charleston, SC
Witnessed 3+ Flying objects that first appeared as birds, but were so far up in the sky it was hard to comprehend. It was daytime, and the moon was out, but not one cloud in the sky. The objects were buzzing around each other for over a minute when we noticed they began to get in a formation and the next second disappeared. We looked all around the open sky, and couldn’t make sense how they vanished so quickly. They were white in appearance, but also appeared reflective.

I was driving east on Jack Warner Pkwy, between Manderson Landing and the freshman dorms of the Univeristy of Alabama. I looked up to the southeast and saw a large object hovering a few hundred feet up in the sky. It appeared to be over the North Lawn Hall area or Hackberry Lane on campus. It was white with silver trim. Too big to be a drone, no wings or exhaust visible. Bigger than a small plane. It wasn't exactly round, more of a fat, short teardrop shape. I looked back at the road for a few seconds and I thought "what the hell is that?". I looked back up and the object was still there in the same spot. I kept my eyes on it until I started passing trees that blocked my view and when I turned right on North Campus Way to be able to see it again, the object was gone. It was right after 12 noon. The sky was clear blue with no clouds. There was no trail left or disturbance. It was just gone.

Wayne, NY
So me and my brother were driving home through this town. And up in the sky was these bright orange yellow lights. At first we thought it was a helicopter because it pirouetted twice. But it wasn't blinking. So this is the country side and alot of people have airplanes, so then we thought it was a plane on fire, because it was falling and spinning and it was so bright. But then it leveled of at about 80 feet. And in a blink of an eye it was atleast 3 miles away then just disappeared. I called a friend the next day and she lives in this town and she saw it too and thought it was a crashing plane. But I'm telling you it was not!!! And there was no sound, which I found odd.

On Sunday January 5th 2020 at about 7:45 PM. There was a white sphere hovering over the ocean. Object could be seen from the beach in Isla Vista and from the hills in Santa Barbara. Was neither The Moon nor Venus. Object was not a plane landing at Santa Barbara Airport either. Object seemed to hover for about 40-45 minutes and then proceeded to enter the ocean quickly and abruptly. There was a plane flying around over Isla Vista doing several loops for about 20 minutes when this object was in the air. That pilot might have been aware of the object and extremely likely the pilot witnessed the bright white sphere hovering out over the ocean. We could not judge distance or size of the object due to the black night sky other than we can say it was over the ocean. There is video footage of the object taken from the hills of Santa Barbara. Unfortunately the person filming did not take good footage and the clip is short and at times out of focus. Very curious if an! ybody else saw this object. I have yet to find any info or reports on the object. I am versed in astronomy, physics, and have flown planes. When first observation of the object, we suspected a helicopter or plane, yet the characteristic of the high degree of intensity of the white light and silence factored a more curious examination. Watching the object fly into The Ocean convinced me it was indeed a UFO of some sort. I have combed the Internet for any reports of the object. The only thing found was a youtube video that left much to be desired. So I am logging this report into the database.

I've seen UFOs before but this was different! It wasnt the satelites everyone is seeing either! I walked outside to go to the store and looked up at the stars like normal. I looked at orions belt and continued to look northwest when I noticed a small group of stars. Normally it takes a minute for your eyes to play tricks on you when watching the stars yet right away I could see them! These lights were flashing all around these stars! These lights seemed to jump huge distances in less than .5 seconds. It seemed as if lights were being shot out of other lights and then would bounce around. I wish I was intelligent enough to explain bettet what I saw!

We saw 1-2 lights in the sky up above and traveling the very large mountainess hillside. Before recording I saw a light with a beam going down to the hill. The light then turned from white to red. After this I started recording. Light goes from being low on hillside to above in seconds. Part of video could show a quick potential secondary light. There are two lit up homes that help as stationary markers.

On January 4, 2020, at 22:08 pm, I was standing on my porch calling for my dogs to come inside. I live out in the country so it is dark without the nuance of city lights. I looked out at the horizon and and noticed a bright star shape that was stationary. I thought this was strange due to the stars in the Heaven were stationed higher in the sky and the moon was behind me. I thought maybe it could be a plane but it wasn’t moving. I went back inside to grab my phone to start videotaping the event. I told my husband who came outside and he could not explain what it was either. As I started videotaping, the object changed shape from a star bright light appearance and started moving. The object became a circle shape that was rotating and it was moving in a circular pattern in the sky. Flashes of white and red were emitting from the object. The object then moved straight up and forward in the sky passing over our house and went out of sight. I have vid! eo of the object moving.

Stayton, OR
I was driving on the Hwy in between the town's of Jefferson, Oregon, and Stayton, Oregon, and I just passed through the town of Marion, Oregon, and came to the only stop sign on that road when I looked up in the night sky towards the east when I saw a orange ball of light moving at a high rate of speed from the south to the north! It had no flashing FAA lights and after about 45 seconds to a minute it turn more red then orange and changed the direction from south to north to more the direction of N.NE AND before I knew it it disappeared the wind is blowing hard to night about 25 to 35 mph, to fast for any kind of drone to be flying!!!

Tulsa (Tulsa airport, Sheridan Rd.), OK
I am an over-the-road truck driver. I was out walking my dog; left my phone in the truck. I see he coming from a distance through the airport a gigantic disc shape moving swiftly I can only say maybe 60 miles an hour not fast and cast a huge shadow. As telephone poles to the altitude it was traveling I would have to say about three telephone poles and height very low. I would have to say a Croft maybe 500 Dave 800 feet I don't know at the end to stories hi and on the bottom very flat but on top had an angle and got higher towards the center. There were multiple colored lights White and blood red however they did not seem to cast like a flashlight wood on the shadow below it. When it got about six seven hundred yards away it seemed to just cloak. The image beyond it with I've just a very few clouds we're distorted as if it were still there but cloaked and even the shadow below it seem to disappear when it cloaked.

Stephenville, TX
I was in my downtown Stephenville studio outside laying on my back smoking a cigarette when I saw what I thought was a shooting star and when I expected it to fizzle out it leveled out and then zoomed off into the horizon. It looked like a circle in the middle of two smaller circles as wings. No sound Faint red non blinking lights.

During the time we were losing sight of it into the sun, a jet plane was coming the opposite direction, leaving a white line behind it. We have never seen anything like this aircraft in our lives. We know for certain it was no blimp. My husband is convinced it is a UFO and I am almost certain after reviewing the video.

Walking outside in the morning for exercise, was on my phone choosing music, looked up at a disc shaped saucer, it was gliding 1000 feet above the air. Looked like it was going 15-20 mph. It was heading south west and I couldn’t keep up with it to get a picture. It disappeared past the tree line.

South Ogden, UT
I was walking out of the apartment complexes at about 9-9:05 that are right behind the Ogden Athletic Club. I saw something very slowly hovering in the sky. it was well below the clouds. As I struggled to see it car lights or something hit the object and it illuminated it just enough to see it was like cylinder shaped. It was the color of a magnet (Like the ones we used to play with as kids). It was just very slowly gliding. Then I got ushered into my Uber.

Two rounds non blinking lights moving from south east to northwest at very high altitude. The circular lights were moving at an extremely fast speed. The we’re moving parallel to each other. One light circle was noticeably brighter than the other. Selfridge air force base is close by and I have seen many aircraft flying overhead over the years. These light circles were something I have never seen before. The speed was tremendous. I would compare it to the speed of the space station which I have seen before. Possibly satallites was my only explaination? Definitely not the space station. Was wondering if any other reports were made but did not find any.

Huntington Park, CA
First I heard this loud noise above my head then I looked up looking for a big airplane as I live 14 miles from LAX. What I saw was amazingly undesirable as there were about 6 or 7 objects forming a ">" shape with equal number of objects on each side. As it left very quickly it seemed as though one side acquired more objects and they had no lights as if it was trying to hide from being seen. was a second bigger object right after the first group but this one was a very large triangle with 3 rounded lights one on each corner but the lights weren't bright at all. I could still see the entire object but those ones emitted no sounds. It followed the same route as the group of objects before it. One more star like object followed the second on the same direction towards the Pacific Ocean.the speed of the last object was very fast but definitely not a asteroid. I watch the sky for hours and know when an asteroid or airplane passes through. These items were ei! ther military grade or aliens really exist.

My Girlfriend and I were driving down the street for a late night run to the grocery store. Barely left the house haven’t even exited the street. Us both starring out the windshield East towards the Wasatch mountains noticed a huge bright green/blue orb streaking downward into the sky and then blasted outward vanishing right in front of both of our eyes. Mind you this is at 2:19 am he stopped the car and we got out to look at the sky and we were in just disbelief of what we just saw. It was all pretty fast. It blasted downward for like 4 seconds it was such a bright bold flash of faint blue and then zoomed up and we could both see the front of a ship/disk-like craft flash out of the sky. The back of craft seemed like it was cloaked to the night sky but also had green lights around it. Overall it was in the sky for about 5-8 seconds. We both saw a faint trail after it vanished. It definitely looked like it hit light speed and was gone.

Wilcox (near), AZ
I was traveling from Tucson to Morenci, AZ, on Interstate 10 when I saw a bright light resembling a planet. I saw the light increase in intensity a bit and begin to move. Suddenly it shot straight up at a high rate of speed and the light turned off. This was at the close of the Christmas/ New Years Holidays and the interstate was very heavy with traffic so many others should have seen it. I was looking northeast towards the / Pinalenos/Grahams Mountains and traveling eastbound. This was approximately 3 miles west of the exit for AZ 191 North.

Fort Wayne, IN
I continued to drive down Vance to our destination. The object began to follow us. I sped up and the object still was above us. We got to the destination and dropped off the kids. We continued to drive home and my son saw the object hovering above the houses as if it was waiting on us. We sped home and it took off very fast in the other direction. Time indicated by source of original report was flawed. We have amended the time, in order to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD
