A bright, silent light was seen moving west to east across the entire sky. It was brighter than all stars and had no blinking lights. It was moving slower than most aircraft. Unusual amounts of normal air traffic were noted around the time of the sighting. I did capture this on video.

I was sitting on my side patio at around 9:15 pm which overlooks the Verde Valley all the way to Sedona. My patio faces east and the objects appeared from the north by Jerome and flew at a speed I estimate was 200 to 300 mph to the south towards Camp Verde. There were some light clouds that the objects flew under, so I estimate their altitude to be less than 5000' to 7000'. The objects were of various sizes and brightness, and some flew closer than others, but they all flew at the identical speed in a straight line and made a few maneuvers that were all perfectly synchronized with each other. I estimate I viewed them for 5 to 7 seconds before each disappeared 1 by 1 at the exact same spot. There was absolutely no sound coming from them. It was a very surreal sight that was hard to comprehend. I was on duty the next morning and before I started my shift briefed my supervisor on the incident to see if she had heard any reports from dispatch from that night with regards to what I spotted. I have viewed the Star Link satellites in the past and this was not even a close resemblance to them.

Fairview, NC
Whole Western portion of sky flashed green, then appeared normal. Quickly flashed red and pink, back to normal and then blue to red. No sound. Flashes of light and dark have occasionally been happening in same direction since, still ongoing as of time reported. No obvious shape. No origin point detectable. We took video but it remained dark, could not be picked up as it appeared almost as colored clouds.

July 11, 2023: 9:15 am -9:30 am; I was at my home, in my backyard. Looking out toward the west: I spotted a great white egret bird flying and was amazed at how high it could fly. Then, I saw an unusual floating shining cylinder shape (I used my bird watching binoculars... it isn't that powerful but I can tell it is a cylinder shape, standing upright and has reflection's "wings.") It is much farther up above the marine low clouds that have been broken up since this morning. Sometimes it stays still and then moves away. It moved near the moon and floated southward then it stayed there for a while, then it moved more north until I lost vision because of clouds and then sunshine. I was trying to find it again by looking northeast where I last saw the cylinder object. A little later, 6 military jet planes, flew in rows from west to east (northern side of me.) I think it was F-15s. That was at 9:50 am. As of 10:00 am, I still do not find the shining cylinder and more fluffy light clouds are appearing to block my viewing. Photos taken with my iPhone 11. Not the best with the zoom. I took a picture when it was shining the most. My gut tells me that it was some kind of spy drone.

While looking up at two stars, one of the two floated over to me. The star came close when it floated over. I didn’t think to start recording, until it started to hover. So, I missed it floating over to me. While I sat at my table, on the deck, I started recording. It looked like a star with the naked eye. But, in the video it looks like an orb. The star hovered over the trees. I wasn’t scared at all. I sang a song to it. Then, I said, good night.

Not sure what we saw. A circular object rose straight up beyond the houses and trees that we can see from our attic window, due East. It was 3.38 am. It went straight up. It had neon green dotted lights with an outer circle of red dotted lights. Sort of like a lit sea urchin, flat side. I could not see its full shape, just the circular lit up part. It rose straight up to above where the moon was, and then headed to our right in a straight line (South). There was no sound that we could hear. Not sure if it was a UFO or not. I have not seen anything like it before, and did not see anything like it on the web either.

While scanning the area below the star Alberio in my telescope, I noticed a flash of light and then a smoke ring appeared and lasted a few seconds and faded out. The ring looked similar to the Ring Nebula, but with brighter blues. I was using a 12in Dob. With a 32mm wide-angle eyepiece. I have been observing the skies for over 60 years, and never saw anything like this. It was beautiful but strange

This was a bright object in the northwest sky. It look like a star at first, but I noticed it was moving to the east. I watched it move all the way across the sky until I could not see it anymore. This took at least 2 minutes if not longer. This light did not blink at all. At the same time a airplane flew over which I see frequently. This thing was huge dwarfed the size of the airplane. Unable to get a photo with my phone.

I walked out onto my east-facing, third-floor balcony at approximately 11:00 PM. I then saw coming from the southwest a very bright orange ball of light. The object was traveling at a steady pace in a straight line toward the northeast, passing right in front of me, and my brother who walked out onto the balcony behind me. It was about 70 degrees up, and looked like it was at about the altitude of a small aircraft such as a Cessna. There were no blinking lights, and no sound. There was no change in the intensity or size of the light (as big and bright as an airliner's front landing lights) until it had traveled far off to the northeast, at which point it became small and faded out of sight. My brother said he thought it was a satellite. The object was traveling at about satellite speed, so he may have been right, but I have never seen one so big and bright, nor one that gave the impression of not being in orbit, but rather so low and close in the sky. I checked the trajectory of the International Space Station for the time of the sighting, and it did pass over the Austin, Texas area at about the same time (11:06 PM). However, it was reported to fly over at only 18 degrees above the horizon, appearing from the west and traveling north, so I don't think that was it.

Me and my girlfriend were in our backyard last night around 10:45 star watching. I was looking one direction, my girlfriend another. She screams to me “wtf is that, turn around” I look up to see around 6 white lights in a single file line pulsing. It only lasted about 6 seconds before they disappeared. it looked as if they were taking off. My girlfriend saw them at first and said they were in a circle formation rotating before I turned around. I tried to pull my phone out to get a recording but it was too late, they had already vanished

They seemed to be chasing each other in a circular motion. There was 5 small crafts that appeared. This continued on for at least 35-40 minutes. The bottom of each craft had 4 red and white lights in what seemed to be rotating. They each had what appeared to be a green light going out the top. It was quite spectacular to watch. It appeared as if they were playing a game of chase with each other. I wish I had recorded the event but it was so amusing to watch that I just couldn't pull myself away from watching them.

The object was in the southern sky and slowly gliding east to west. At first I thought it was a banner flying behind a plane, but then realized there was nothing ahead of the object pulling it. This also would have been strange since we were in an area with no real cities for miles, and it was nighttime. It was rectangular and very long, very close to the ground and glowing blue. It looked as if there were tiny glowing rooms inside it, like it was an apartment complex or cruise ship, but these were laid out in intricate patterns. After we watched it for a few seconds it looked like it slid into a hole in the sky, gradually disappearing completely.

While out for the evening, enjoying astrophotography and stargazing, a friend and I witnessed a glowing Amber colored orb that faded to looking like a quickly moving star. We also witnessed multiple others throughout a 3 hour period. With the exception of the orb they all looked like they should be a star. However, they moved very quickly, with the ability to stop and maneuver effortlessly. They were incredibly hard to track and film. There were no trails behind these flying lights. They were not drones or airplanes. There was no sound that we could distinguish. When we were getting ready to leave a very heavy helicopter was flying quite low literally directly overhead of where we were. This helicopter was larger than your rescue type aircraft being much wider and rounded. The blades on this helicopter were also very large. It didn't have very many distinctive lights on it, and it was solid black. The photo and video that I'm submitting is original, and has NO alterations.

Noticed this bright UFO to the East, before it went behind a tree. It reappears and the moves weird. It started moving forward, then it went back to the tree then, moved NE. At one point the object looks to Hover before moving again.

A white colored orb with a very slight blueish tint, light had the same color as car headlights on newer cars. Did not seem to fly faster than planes but moved strangely. The best way I can describe it was as if someone was slowly moving a computer mouse and that orb was the cursor. Eventually the orb dimmed and I couldn’t see it but looked like it was about to go upwards before completely dimming. Couldn’t be a drone - I can tell because of how fast and strangely it moved when behind clouds. No way a regular plane. Not a satellite. Maybe…a helicopter? Even that’s iffy. Maybe some military tech? There’s a decent amount of air traffic in the same direction, but most planes don’t fly like that No pics. Phone was upstairs. Sorry, I know. I did get my phone after it vanished to check the direction I saw the UAP. It was exactly 0 degrees North

Tic-tac/Cigar shaped object headed in a controlled SW direction. No sound. At times it appeared to be glowing. Color changed from metallic to white multiple times and it looked like the object was possibly rotating.

I was standing on my deck when I noticed the object moving across the Sky at a high rate of speed. It was white and shaped like a TikTak or a small pill but it was moving so fast that it traversed the sky in a incredibly short amount of time. It was highly lit by the sun and appeared white with a small depression towards the center kinda like a pill. It was move upwards and south west. There was a noticeable agitation or discoloration to the air immediately surrounding the craft and it was kind of Gray and appearance against the rest of the very very blue sky. Immediately after a plane flew low in the horizon and I live near Stewart Air Force base was a commercial passenger plane coming from the South and look nothing like the craft actually it was quite dark against the sky at the height it was in the atmosphere. I have a video although my hands shake pretty bad of the craft shooting across the sky And my surprise as I hold a science BA and have never seen any UAP in person. My dog also noticed it initially.

The summary sentence about does it Peter. I've reported to you up in Washington, had enough winter. I'm the guy who lived on the 100 acres on the Spokane Rez, seeing you from time to time at our little favorite grocery in Davenport. Glad to send you a morsel. There was no sound Peter, silent, I'm guessing 3,000 feet, lightning all over the place.

Silver object. Shape of a grain of rice. South Lincoln sky. Moving in a westward direction. It was obvious it was not a plane. Driving so I took a couple photos then had to turn towards work. A little surprised later when I zoomed in. 4 oval shaped objects. 2 in front of me and 2 off to the west.
