Butler, TN
Hello- I spoke with the director of this site just minutes ago, regarding a UFO sighting in the night sky above Butler, TN, in Johnson Co. My friend, who first witnessed the object at least a month ago, owns a home in this location, and has been taking videos of it at random intervals, when he feels that a good shot is possible, I suppose. During a visit to his home over the weekend, he brought it to my attention, and I was quite surprised by the apparent closeness and energetic activity of the lights. Really, I don’t know how I missed it before he pointed it out, because it was so strikingly obvious. After some thought, I realized that I am indeed familiar with Sirius, and that there is also a star called Betelgeuse (?), or the “Witch Star” that flashes blue, red, and white, and which is incredibly visible in the winter from my home in Boone, NC. I had actually first wondered if that was what my friend had seen, because it is quite unusual for a star, but when I went there in! person, I was surprised to see something entirely different. I can’t be certain, but I believe that I’ve seen this same thing over the past 10 years, in places from Canton, NC to Boulder CO, and this is the closest and most active that it’s ever been. Per our conversation- I know what you mean with staring at lights and the phenomena of perceived movement...I’ve spent more than one long night with infrared cameras, and used binoculars at all hours, truth be told, although I can’t honestly attribute that specifically to either curiosity or paranoia, perhaps a bit of both. I do enjoy looking at the sky, and have found the greatest volume of peculiar activity to have occurred in the area of Johnson Co. TN, in particular over Watauga Lake. I’ve seen many things similar to this lighted object, but didn’t think to capture most at the time, unfortunately. Anyhow, I’m sure that you’re probably gnashing your teeth in consternation at having been rustled from your bed by a crazy girl, and one who promised a file in short order, so I’ll get to sending that posthaste. Thank you for your time and patience, with what could very likely be a perfectly explicable bunch of nothing...but hopefully not! Oh, and I must admit that I cheated and typed directly in the box- that doesn’t disqualify me, does it?

Im not sure which city or state it was either Utah or idaho but we both saw an object in space looking somewhat like a rocket with bright red florescent streams behind it. It was super bright and traveled at super fast speeds we saw it for about 2 seconds then it was gone. It didn't just disappear it was more like on a destination somewhere. But it was something i never saw and something strang.

Dark night, sitting on the bed on second floor, observed bright, deep red glowing round(possibly lights, possibly some sort of exhaust portals) hover past my upstairs window at approximately 1/16-1/8 mile off across a newly harvested farm field. I very quickly went from bed to window. The red "lights" appeared to be horizontally linear, quite a few. I opened the window and was dumbstruck by absolute silence. The "craft" came into sight initially from my left and moved slowly and silently to my right. I am not aware of any color as it was pitch dark. When I reached the window, it had already entirely crossed the field. My viewpoint was from the side only and it could have been oval or round or otherwise. I could not discern size from bottom to top. There is a neighboring long white barn with outside lights in the near distance behind my residence. The "craft appeared to be between the barn and my residence. It appeared to be at least twice the length of the barn as it moved over the trees, turned slightly to the left and quietly hovered out of sight. The speed of the object did not appear to change. There was absolutely zero sound. I observed no other lights than those at the side. I determine the shape as saucer only because the linear "lights" did not change in length as it turned and disappeared over the nearby treeline. When it had passed I noticed all 3 of my pets were silently at my feet. It is to be considered that Otis AFB is not a great distance from here; however, I am not aware of that we are capable of absolutely silent flight.

10 year old son startled by flash of light when he looks at the dark sky throw the window he sees yellow sphere moving in medium speed moving left to right then suddenly stopped and moved back left to right and disappeared in the starless sky. He had images of the celestial body burned in his memory to the point of when I asked for details he would close his eyes to revisit the sight. I fully believe he saw an UFO, he has no idea of the peculiarities of saucers and usual concepts that he happened to frenetically describe. Would love to know if others saw the event.

I was driving to my house in my car down a country road and noticed 2 crafts with red and yellow lights flying in a meandering fashion up in the sky. When I arrived at my house, I had my spouse come outside to look. At this point there were three of them and they were higher in the sky. Two of them disappeared, and then a second later reappeared at a different spot in the sky. It seemed impossible for them to have traversed that distance at the speed they were going. They eventually drifted out of sight.

It was night time at about 8:30. It was a clear night, stars were abundant. My wife was driving as we were going through a suburban neighborhood going maybe 20 mph. I looked up and to the right (north) and saw a number of lights in the sky. I told my wife to slow down. There were maybe 20 lights, red, green, white, and blue. The lights appeared like they could have been stars but the colors were very vivid and they were all moving in unison. We turned around and stopped the car to observe. The lights were not all moving the way a stationary craft would, though it did appear that there was helicopter near by, I would find it hard to believe that the helicopter did not see the lights as it was pretty near to them. The distance between the furthest light on top and the one at the bottom seemed to be substantial, suggesting that if it was one craft, it was very large. The lights continued moving in unison but in a uniform manner. The lights all moved in the sam! e general direction but the lights near the top would move to the right and the ones to the bottom would mirror the movements in the other direction, but all of the lights would be moving in general in the same direction at the same time. The lights continued moving from north to south and then turned to the east. The lights were solid and never flickered. The movement of all of the lights together, from top to bottom seemed fluid but cohesive. The lights did not appear to be attached to a fixed craft but to one that could bend and flex. It is hard to say how fast it was moving because we could not see an actual craft, just lights. In general, it was moving slower than a 747 that you would look up and see flying, it was also a lot closer than a 747 you would see flying. Considering the geography of the area where we saw the lights, for the first couple minutes of the sighting, it had to be within a mile of us. There are decent sized hills nearby and it was not behind or abo! ve the hills, those hills are within a mile of where we were. ! There we re no sounds of an aircraft of any kind.

I was driving down Telegraph road towards Ford road in Dearborn MI around 5:45 pm when I saw a very large strangely lit cigar shaped craft passing overhead rather quickly but silently and with ease. I wrote off what I’d seen as being a very high tech low flying blimp and redirected my thoughts. About five minutes later on the same car ride I saw a saucer shaped (much smaller) craft moving quickly overhead near McMillan and Heinz street in Dearborn Heights. (It appeared to be maybe half a mile from where I was viewing it). The lights, speed, and possibly shape were changing. It eventually stopped moving and hovered for a moment in place before lowering towards the ground at a ninety degree angle. I pulled down the street to my destination, ran inside, and about twenty minutes later left again to go to the gas station. Upon leaving the gas station I saw the same very large cigar shaped craft I had initially witnessed now hovering above ford road near Golfview! . I took the car home and took the dog for a walk about ten minutes later to see if I could see anything else. In the same spot near McMillan and Heinz where I saw the small saucer shaped craft I now witnessed what appeared to be a white circular light appearing almost like a hole in the sky. It was very bright and emitting rays similar to a small moon moving overhead. Eventually the white orb appeared to change shape and now appeared as a horizontally moving craft with rgb lights blinking. In between these sightings was a steady and unusual stream of low flying identifiable air craft all headed in seemingly the same direction.

Palms Springs, CA
On November 17, 2019 at 2:25pm (Pacific), in a clear blue sky in Palm Springs, California (91 degrees farenheit), 4 individuals who were outside at a pool in their home, clearly saw a white, oval-shaped object hovering directly above at a height of about 15,000 to 20,000 feet. The object may have slightly left to right, but it was in a fixed location for the duration of the sighting. The object was then viewed through binoculars and it had an orb-like, oval-shape with a dark outline and appeared to be either rotating or vibrating fast. At 3:32pm, the object disappeared and despite searching the sky with the binoculars, we found no trace of it.

They were triangle shaped, roughly the size of a commercial jet, but way too low and too close together to be that. After passing by a treeline we couldn’t see them anymore. If there wasn’t a cop right in front of a neighborhood before the treeline we would have pulled into a neighborhood to get a better look.

Constantly hear a buzzing noise flying around. But can't see.!?! But notice shadows. And movement. Seams to be draining power from Solar batteries.

I was sitting in bed and I hear a weird radiating sound so I look out my window to see a bright white circle go flying across the sky at incredible speeds. Myself as a pilot could tell that almost no aircraft could go that fast without a sonic boom or deafening sound.

As I watched it move from north to south it looked like a chevron shape at one point with 3 red lights making up one chevron and 3 on the other. I tried to follow and get a better look but I lost sight of it and drove around trying to see it again but no luck. I have a privates pilots license and am very familiar with airplanes. While I can't say with certainty it wasn't a plane, because it happened so fast, it certainly looked different. Very curious if anyone else in South Jackson saw it

My sister and I were in our backyard watching the stars and also waiting for the meteor shower. I was telling her a story when all of a sudden we seen 3 lights appearing and I was looked I think I see some but then more lights appeared forming a “V” shape object. It began moving fast and then disappeared, I've never seen anything like it and I am shocked.

Memphis, TN
As we were looking up in the sky to view a meteor shower, we noticed that there were several extra bright what appreared to be stars. These bright lights were moving in slow circular patters. I used my phone to enlarge the object and we could see bright orange lights. As we continued to study these lights, we saw more and more of them. They were in 4 different formations and the sky was filled with them. Some were in triangle formations and some were in straight line formations. We counted over 25 of them. They were hovering for hours and moving very slowly in circular patterns. We stayed and observed them for 3 hours, and they were all still there when we left. They were very far away, almost mistaken as extra bright stars, we could not determine the shape, but the lights were extremely bright.

I saw a bright object in the sky. Figured it was a airplane taking off from local airport then noticed just how bright it was and that it did NOT have blinking lights. Watched that for a few seconds then noticed two more of the same things nearly overhead but off to the right. They were moving at a pretty good speed but not blindingly fast or anything. They were travelling next to each other but separated by a few hundred yards. Watched for a few seconds. Looked back at the first one and it was gone. It thought it might of gone behind a cloud. Looked back at the two. They were all orangey red. Disc shaped. Flat but almost a flame like quality. Noticed what I thought might be three lights on edge of disc. But hard to discern clearly due to the glow of the disc. I had been walking toward my truck this whole time and was going to pass past it and get to the field but I had to look down to step over the curb. When I looked up the two were gone as well. At the sp! eed they were going they might of reached the cloud as well. At no time did I see any navigational lights blinking or did I HEAR anything as I watched the sky for another 30 seconds.

There was 1 UFO, seemingly above Spencer's butte, a local hiking spot. I was driving and noticed it, it was brighter than the brightest star/planet would be at that time of day, and moving slower than a satellite. It was also not blinking like an airplane. I was driving home, and the object seemed to continue to rise from the butte and come closer to me. As I kept driving, I could see more of it. I slowed down and squinted, and saw that it was 3 bright white lights in a triangular shape. I was close to home so I sped up into my driveway, got out, and it was gone. I scanned the entire sky, nothing to be seen.

Red/Orange stationary light left a short tail behind it as it shifted to the left then dimmed for a few seconds then became bright again. Proceed to move in the infinity sign before becoming stationary again. No clouds in sky when this happened.

Bright white flashing lights in the sky caught our attention. We only had a view through the trees and could not make out the shape of the crafts (there appeared to be two). One craft had multiple lights, possibly four, blinking randomly but with only one light lit at a time. The other craft had a single, non-flashing light. Both were moving away from us, heading roughly east, toward the Belknap mountains.
