Lumberport, WV

I was driving home from work and I saw a sphere of white light in the sky near my home. The sphere looked electrical, very bright and slightly pulsating. I couldn’t really see an outline of the sphere because it was so bright. When I first noticed the light, it was in the sky above my house and seemed to be moving straight up. I was driving and there was a vehicle behind me so I couldn’t stop, I watched it for approximately 20 or 30 seconds, the road goes around a curve, so I lost sight of it for a couple of seconds. I turned off the main road onto the smaller road that leads to my house at that point I stopped and looked for it, but it was gone. I know that the ridge line behind my house is 1500 ft and I would say that the sphere was at about 1800 ft when I first saw it but then it quickly gained altitude. I would estimate that it was about 20 to 30 feet in diameter. It was extremely bright almost like a small star; however, I could easily look at it. I am ! an aircraft mechanic, and this wasn’t any type of aircraft that I am familiar with. There weren’t any blinking nav lights or beacons. I couldn’t really tell if it was making any noise because I was driving but I didn't hear anything. I don’t know what it was but it was definitely not like anything I had ever seen before, honestly it looked like something right out of a science fiction movie.

Warrenton, VA

Unexplained Sighting November 11, 2019 Warrenton, Va., Approximating 50 miles of Washington, D.C. At approximately 5:40pm, I observed a long thin line of lights moving from out of the Northwest towards the Southeast at an altitude similar to that of a satellite. I was able to watch this for about 45 seconds. The line of lights moved uniformly as one unit and appeared to under control. I estimate the length of the line to be a mile or longer. There was no sound that I could hear from this event. I estimate the number of lights to be around 35. The line was made up of dimmer white lights toward the front and 4 brighter white lights toward the back of the line. The dimmer lights had a small oval appearance. The larger 4 lights looked similar to that of a satellite. While watching, I did not see any change in the number or color of lights. The object maintained its course until it was no longer visible.

Columbus, MS

I was driving into town on a usual route, when I see 2 giant glowing green balls connected by one long white light flying extremely low over the nearby gas station. It flew down toward the ground really fast. As it went below the powerlines, it disappeared just as everyone else in the car seen the thing vanish. We live in a military town and have seen strange lights before but nothing like this.

Phoenix/Avondale/Suprise, AZ

Travelling Westbound on Happy Valley Road, approaching 91st Avenue, coming over the crest of the Sunrise Preservation park, it looked like SpaceX Starlink Satellites. Straight line, there were 10-12 points of light, they looked like bright stars, but were travelling in unison, at the same speed. The middle one (#7) broke out of formation, dipped down, and re-joined the group. The line travelled in right-to-left, and formed a streak in the sky, as if a meteor was breaking apart. Again, all the points were the same speed, in unison. The north-south trajectory slanted into the sky, and dissappeared over the next 10 seconds into the atmosphere.

Deer Park, NY

This aircraft had a round craft following close behind it. I'd say 20 to 30nfeet behind the tail. Even with the fuselage from my vantage point. The craft was probably the size of a car. I cant believe what I was seeing. I then needed proof.. a witness. So I had a choice to video it or get my wife. I chose to get my wife. Bad choice, by the time she got out it was just about out of site. It was a round craft that kept the same distance the 20 seconds or so I witnessed it. I will be looking for any public cams that might have seen something. My home security cams sees me running into the house to get my wire at 16:29.33sec It took us 15 seconds to come back outside. It was still tailing the jet and I lost sight in the distance behind trees. There are so many ppl that live in this area someone else had to see this.

While driving to Trinidad from Albuquerque we took some photos of the misty mountain, and upon later review of the photos there is one disk like object throughout each set of photos.

Bethel, AK

I went outside to start vehicle and I immediately saw an outline of a huge craft headed west, maybe 500 ft in the sky and was as big as a football field in size. It seemed to be transparent but the bright lights or exhaust outlined the shape and size. It was slowly moving west and had a sound of a generator sound to it. It had 3 big bright lights, what seemed to me was exhaust from engines. I was very excited and yelled for my wife and son to come out. My wife took 3 second video and a few pictures on phone. I was so excited that I thought I was videoing on my phone but I didn’t have it recording. I took picture on my phone. I have two pictures and 3 second video of the ufo that show it moving and the pictures show the bright lights. What is strange is only two bright lights showed on the pictures and video.

Nampa, ID

I was driving home from meridian heading towards nampa when something caught my eye in the sky. It looked like a string of lights going across the sky and I thought it might have looked like bogus basin but I was facing the opposite way! I couldn’t believe it and tried to take a picture but it disappeared within a minute of processing it.

Big Bear Lake, CA

Long stretch of consecutive lights at very high altitude crossed over the ski area horizon just after sunset, followed by two craft that looked like solid operational craft. All were in a formation as if designed. Almost appeared as if the two largertagets were chasing the string of decaying lights.

Very strange. Silent. About 2000 feet up. Moving North East at a high rate, like 300 mph.

Milwaukee, WI

Me and my 2 friends were walking on a trail by the river in Milwaukee and about 75 feet away from us we saw a large green light shoot across the trees horizontally and then made a very loud noise. My two friends saw the light while it was green going onto the path and I saw the light as orange as it went into the woods on the other side of the path and right after there was a very loud zipping noise. This only lasted for about 2 seconds but we were all very scared and ran as fast as we could. We can't think of anything that it could be.

Cocolalla, ID

At approx 2120 Pacific on 11.10.2019 viewed from Cocolalla, ID. Weather cold, sky clear, no precipitation: While sitting on my couch watching TV with my family I saw a large, white circle of light (through my west facing window beneath the TV) flying in a westerly direction at a speed comparable to a meteor. The light was WNW of my home. It was approx double the size of the ISS, and several orders of magnitude brighter than the brightest I've ever seen the ISS. It did not trail any streak of fire, it did not break apart, and it made no noise that I could hear from indoors. I immediately ran out of the house onto our west facing porch to attempt to view it further, and did not see or hear anything else unusual. I informed my wife about what I saw, but she had not seen the light through the window. I went back to watching TV with my family. At 2148 (based on cell phone video time stamp) I observed two amber or possibly orange colored lights had appeared in the sky visible through the same westward facing window. The lights appeared to be well passed Huckleberry Ridge. Viewed from my home, they were just north of Vega. They appeared to be a similar diameter as Vega, but perhaps not as bright and definitely were not white. The lights at first appeared stationary but then I could tell they were drifting upward as they passed a faint, small star in the background. I yelled to my wife to come quick, and asked my daughter to bring my cell phone. My wife witnessed the two amber colored lights move toward each other and then apart from each other a couple times, before one zoomed off to the north or possibly northeast. As it zipped away its light dissipated. The other stayed in the same area, before its light dissipated too. I did not personally see the dynamic movement of th! e two amber lights because I was busy unsuccessfully attempting to capture the event on video. I did observe the remaining amber light fade away.

Toledo, OH

An orb circling above the trees. Light yellow, circular, and relatively small. I mistook it for a circling airplane at first. Couldn’t make out any details of the craft itself. Hazy/foggy looking.

Lafayette, CO

A boomerang-like shape slowly flew above us in a straight line. It had sort of gray dots, I assume maybe lights along the craft. They were slightly scattered. From where we were, it looked about three times the size of a plane, in a boomerang shape. We had sighted several planes prior to this, none of which going this direction or of that size. I hadn't seen anything quite like it before. It was silent, though there was wind so that could've blocked any possible noise.It seemed to blend in with the sky as well and it was pretty dark out, but we could still make out the boomerang-like shape. I could see a soft glow around the object. I apologise for not being able to put in the time above. But it was around 7:35 PM when we spotted it.

Normangee, TX

I was taking pictures of my barn and when I reviewed the pictures was astonished to see the blue light in the barn, through the trees, and the saucer shaped object that seemed to be sending a beam down to the ground. Also in one of the photos there was a long dark colored finger like object coming down from the sky.

Byron, IL

The object was moving north and stopped for about 5min and slowly went south. Looked like a cross with different colored lights. Very bright. The lights seemed the be changing colors.

Silverhilll, AL

At sunset, saw what I thought was a planet or mini-moon overhead or a little north-northwest of center/zenith. Over time it moved/floated east/southeast at a very high altitude. I then thought it might be a balloon, but it was perfectly round. With binoculars, I was able to see a design on the "face." It was a semi-circular arrow beginning at 12 o'clock and going to the left until about 7 o'clock. It was opaque and two-toned and appeared to be lit from within. It started out bright white and faded to ivory as it headed east and faded away.

Mobile, AL

It began when my wife and I were standing in our backyard enjoying the nice afternoon weather we were having. I am a private pilot myself and we live below an approach into KBFM that is used when the winds are out of the south so I am looking up into the sky quite often to see what types of aircraft are flying. Being a private pilot with more than 100 hrs flying and an aviation enthusiast in general I am quite competent at identifying aircraft. My wife is a homemaker with little experience in aviation other than the occasional vacation, but living in our area and like I said under an approach she still sees quite a bit of aircraft. My location at the time of the sighting was 30 deg 42' 20" N by 88 deg 8' 10" W. I was facing 320 deg. when I first saw it and the object was tracking a SE course. I looked up into the NW sky and I saw what at first I thought was a small cloud due to the color. It was very bright. Then I realized there were no clouds in the sky on this particular day. It was hard to say what altitude the object was at. If I was to give a number it would be a total guess. I began to notice that this object was actually moving across the sky. It was moving very slowly about the speed a blimp flies. No way an airplane could fly this slowly and still be able to produce lift. There was no sound associated with this craft. My wife and I stood there and watched it until it crossed behind the roof of my house. So I ran to my front porch to continue watching. From my front porch I have a massive unobstructed view of the sky. I can see for miles. I stood at my front door watching this object for maybe 5 minutes and I decided that given the speed the object was moving I could run inside to grab a drink and return and still see the object. After quen! ching my thirst I returned to the front porch to find and empty sky. There was no way at the speed it was traveling that it could have gotten out of my view in the short time I was inside. The object never reappeared. I will include pictures I was able to take of the craft. My pictures will be in the email titled Mobile, AL Sighting. Some of them are zoomed in and the object looks pretty weird. All of the zoomed in pictures show some sort of tentacle looking object protruding from the craft. It is hard to tell if these are just camera quality problems or if something is really there, but they do appear in multiple shots.
