Dover, NH

I observed a white circular light in the sky for about 3-4 seconds before it disappeared. It was very bright straight ahead of me. I would estimate it was at an altitude of 2-3,000 feet.

Salem, OR

Driving out of the mountains last week I saw a metallic flying object that looked like a flying toaster but larger. It had a dark area to the backside or left on the object. When I stopped my truck to record it the thing vanished in a blink of an eye. There were no clouds in the sky or trees in the way to block my view. It happened so fast my son did not see it. The flying object was only 300 feet high at the most. It was moving fast laterally like it was paralleling our trucks travel direction observing us. I took a picture of the sky where I last saw the object after it disappeared. I stood there for a few minutes trying to figure out where the thing went or see if it was going to reappear. No sound I could hear like a plane. Right after it disappeared there was a white jet or drone that flew overhead where the object disappeared from. The drone looking thing was high in altitude compared to the flying toaster shaped metallic object I had seen. The flying toaster object was approximately 20 ft long and 10 feet tall. No flashing lights but there was a dark area on the back or left side of the object. It was traveling fast from my left to right in the sky.

Around 10:15 PM I saw this light in the sky. It was something traveling slowly from north to south (right to left in photo). It had a wide wide beam of light behind it (pointing north). The trail of light stayed in the sky for a few minutes after the object was gone. SpaceX launch from Vandenberg [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Probable]

Winder, GA

On the evening of July the 19th, I was outside at approximately 10:00 PM gazing upon the southern night sky. I noticed that about three to four, what appeared to be, commercial aircraft lights. Only one of the aircraft was following a rather typical flight pattern and that is what caught the attention to that of my curiosity. The three lights that were out of the typical flight patterns, are what I was watching. All three were at about a 30° angle from the south sky. One was traveling east and the other two were traveling west, with about a 4° gap spacing between. While watching the two lights traveling westward, the one lighted object, which was in between the other two lights, simply just vanished before my eyes. I've ruled out an iridium flare, for I am lucky to have witnessed one in the daytime years ago. I would also like to add that the lighted object that vanished, never had any flashing anti-collision lights.

Lillington, NC

On a Blink camera attached to a tree in my back yard that kept going off for activity, we noticed something with a blinking light in the fat lady corner of the view. After turning up the volume, we hear what sounds like computer noises and what can seem like a radio communication sampling of voices, but not one word can be understood. This motion infrared camera kept going off and in some of the few second clips, we can see shadows. I have those clips to share.

Valley Village, CA

Started off as a red dot with a tail and quickly gained altitude. Then was a bluish dot around Star height with a parabolic tail. There was only one. I was out walking my dog when I thought I saw a shooting star. My mom and I were walking our dog and she stopped to look. Then another man down the street stopped to look. We watched the red dot shoot into the sky, then it briefly disappeared. Then, it returned but was a light blue and had a bluish, parabolic wake behind it rather than a tail. My mom is a middle age professional and I am a student. I have experience in both rocketry and planetary science, but have no clue as to what the object may be. My mom thought it looked like a rocket, but I checked and there were no recent launches to my knowledge. After some time it truly disappeared and we continued our walk. We then noticed a helicopter circling our area, which is unusual as it is a safe suburban neighborhood. My dog was acting weird the whole walk but I’m not sure that he saw it.

We we're packing things up in the car after hanging out on the beach. One of the kids from the car in front of us asked if the object in the sky was a space ship. I looked up and saw a huge aura or haze in a cone like shape coming from the orb. The aura or haze was moving in different ways. But the orb was moving further away. It looked like something straight out of a movie. I took a video on my phone but the aura and haze don't look anywhere as significant as they did in person. The aura or haze stretched across the sky. I watched the orb slowly fade away along with the haze

Duarte, CA

Last night I was sitting outside waiting for Starlink. It was supposed to pass over Duarte California at 9:22 pm coming from Northwest to East. At 9:12 pm, I saw an individual object coming from the West and heading slightly Southeast. As the object got closer to me, I could see a white light behind it. That light was very bright white emitting in a large fan like pattern. I know Perseid is here, but unlike a meteor, this object was moving fairly slow, and it was visible to me for a couple of minutes. This was very visible over the Los Angeles area. Surely, I can't be the only person to have seen this. I took a short video of it with my camera phone. I don't know why, but the video shows the object as blue, but it was bright white. And it doesn't really show the large fan like light that it was emitting behind it. FYI, the horizontal white line in the video is just the telephone pole wires. It looked like a comet to me. Please let me know if you determine what this was. SpaceX [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Certain]

From our backyard, we looked up and saw what looked like a red comet entering the atmosphere. It had a long red tail of what looked like debris or smoke. We ran inside to grab a camera. When we returned, the comet turned bright white, emitting light horizontally from it. Then, it changed direction and went south. The tail disappeared when it did that and you could only see a very small light that changed from red to white. SpaceX launch form Vandenburg [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Certain]

Earlimart, Allensworth area., CA

Standing outside, across from Big Bs truck stop on Front st in earlimart, ca, looking west, south-west, toward nothing but farmland, I saw what I believed was a firework going up. It had a orange-yellow glow to it, similar to the yellow light emitting from a farm home just below the area the light came up from, at least from my perspective. The light seemed to get brighter, realizing it seemed to be pointing in my direction, I figured it to be a drone from some jerk messing around. I turn my body to it as the light seems to be coming towards me. At this point, it's obviously too high to be a drone, so knowing this, I figure it came up from the horizon from further out than that house. But being in the San Joaquin Valley, I know the mountains are all around, so distance wise, I know it came up from the valley somewhere and am pretty sure it didn't come from over the mountains that are to the west. As the light sort of got brighter, still shining towards my direction, a red dot started to appear. Then, as quickly as it was seemingly coming towards my direction from the west, south-west direction, it started going south, and rising upwards as it went almost straight to the left after coming towards me. That red light got more intense, the orange yellow was gone and there had started to be a red streak behind it as it went south. This red "tail", as it seemed, followed directly behind the dot, no gaps in tail, no smoke, no exhaust, shot south, going upwards gradually, from my perspective. The red streak stops, then from the dot I see the atmosphere around the object begin to part from directly in front of the object. Still no smoke, no plumes, no exhaust. Upon realizing that it has entered the atmosphere, I go back and forth from inside were my wife is to try to get her to see. Also, I have never seen anything space related except on TV and the internet, so I'm super excited. It arches a bit higher at this point, but increases speed going southwards. If I had to say, the object may have been going south, south-east. Upon entering the atmosphere. I believe the red streak was it entering the lower atmosphere, then the hazy separation of the atmosphere was it pushing through and getting into space. At the point of atmosphere separation, the red dot had become tiny, an indication of how far away this is. As the dot makes its way, pushing through the atmosphere, I am going in and out of the rv, getting my 11 yo daughter to atleast witness. Once i had her outside, to my amazement, the object had already made it through the atmosphere, leaving two giant illuminated auras from around it, peculiarly, still no smoke, exhaust, not even the haze was directly behind it, as if the moment it reached the outside of our atmosphere, it left with such force, any haze left from the spreading of the atmosphere seemed to disipate exceptionally quickly. My daughter and I saw the giant spreading of the atmosphere, went inside instantly, made my wife come out in less than a minute, and the light and evidence of the atmosphere being distorted in any way was primarily gone. Just the haze of sorts leaving an almost unrecognizable area that you only can notice if someone saw and pointed it out to you, as I did with my wife. I took note of stars and constellations, I've never studied astrology in any way, but orions belt is where it seemingly vanished into the sky. Atleast, I think it's orions belt. But regardless of the actual constellation name, I know which stars it left towards. The speed, unfathomable. But I know it was about 5 minutes long of an incident, but not 7 minutes or longer. Maybe 6 minutes. Either way, I know it's not a normal rocket because of exhaust, that it's not a comet or shooting star, no tail whatsoever except when first speeding southwards, starting the more progressive climb that it took. It went through the atmosphere, seemingly from the ground, in a matter of roughly 5 minutes. Honestly, it could've been less, because I wasn't looking at time at all. But know it was over in minutes. My daughter and I both saw it pretty much finish getting through the atmosphere. There were no flashing lights. No logical way it could be something human made, given the amount of energy needed to make it through the atmosphere at such speed without leaving any evidence. I believe the red streak of a tail was atmosphere buring up around the object because it was leaving at such a high velocity, it was already red just before the tail started. Also, the tail was short, not long, nothing left behind at all afterwards. My wife thinks I'm crazy, daughter wants to watch Paul, and I thank you for your time. I hope others saw and report somewhere as well. Thank you for your time.

I am speaking for the witness, who is my 9 year old son. He was in the back yard playing with the dog when he observed a black sphere. There was sufficient features that allowed him to identify what appeared to be rotational movement. He was adamant it was not a balloon. It rose straight up and disappeared from sight. Insufficient information to determine a rate of speed or guestimates on initial altitude, or an estimate of size. My son and I are familiar with aircraft and fly regularly. At risk of sounding bias, his observational skills and ability to identify makes models and years of cars way exceeds my own, and though I am a UFO enthusiast and experiencer, he has spent the last four years telling me I am delusional, and so for him to say he wanted to make a report... Well, here we are. He would not entertain balloon, helicopter, or air clutter as an alternative. The precise time isn't known but reasonably between 1900 and 2000 hours. The date is accurate, as his experience occurred after our evening call. We speak daily, remotely. I live in Texas. He observed an aura around the artifact. This is not something I have discussed with him.

Dayton, OH

I was driving southbound on Woodman at 5:31 PM today, July 19th of 2023 (writing this at 6:35 PM). Saw a shiny, reflective disk (shiny but shadowed on bottom) just like the one at 4 minutes, 13 seconds in The Phenomenon by James Fox. Was heading south, slightly west, away from Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Disk appeared to be roughly 300 feet in the air. I could immediately tell - this was absolutely not a plane. Regardless, all options must be ruled out, so once I got home (15 minutes later), I checked numerous flight radars to see if there were any planes passing the surrounding area in said direction - nothing, at all. Object was not visible for approximately ten to fifteen seconds due to trees, after which I pulled into a very open parking lot in attempt to relocate object. Was completely gone, not visible whatsoever. Weather had clouds in the far distance, but was (still is) fairly clear in my relative area. I've seen things that were "hmm, that's kinda strange… could have a prosaic explanation I'm just not thinking of…" before. This was very, very obviously not a plane. There was no exhaust emitted from this object whatsoever. No trail. It was very, very obviously not a balloon or drone. I'm very confused as to what this was.

Powell Junction, ID

I spotted a metallic sphere in a clear blue sky in the middle of the day. It was fairly windy and never moved. I was with a group of about 20 friends and only one other person was really able to see it because the sunlight was really bright. It stayed there for 2 hours and some time after it was gone. We were at approximately 7,000’ elevation and the object was 2,000’-3,000’ feet above us and slightly to the east.

I saw what I thought was a plane or helicopter then realized it was traveling backwards the lights were behind it. It was moving too fast to be conventional aircraft and it changed direction too sharp and fast. I considered it to be an asteroid or something like that but I went up in elevation and I’ve seen haley’s comet and Halle bop they never changed elevation.

Green Valley, AZ

yellow to white round light came from the sky and travelled parallel with the mountains then then simply disappeared, it seemed to be about a mile distant and a complete guess of altitude would be 2000ft which is far below the mountains that would be to the objects immediate left, or behind it from my viewpoint. it was hard to discern color, it appeared to be both white and yellow during the one to two minutes, the disappearing in the air was most unusual as it was obvious that the object was on the same side of the mountain range as I was. I had gone outside to collect laundry I had left to dry in the sun on chairs, I just happened to remember it before bed and didn't want to leave them out all night. Note: I did not include a phone number or my address as I dont want to be contacted, I just wished to relay what I saw as it was so unusual......it was no plane or helicopter, there were no clouds, and the moon wasnt out yet.
