It was a clear Autumn day. The weather was pleasant and cool-not particularly windy- the sky was blue without clouds.

Had some people over for a cookout and I happened to look up and see a white orb like craft hovering at well over 20,000 ft . I live along a flight path for Philadelphia airport and a small local airport in limerick so I was able to judge the altitude. I seen about 4 high flying plains that leave vapor fly under this thing so it was pretty high up. It moved very slow over my house for about 2 hours until it went out of sight. We looked at it with a telescope and spotting scope and we could see white lights on it. Threw the scope it looked like a saucer with lights evenly around the outside with a break in the middle.

Durham, NC
Two sets of lights, each in isosceles triangular formation flew very slowly over a gas station in Durham, NC. This was across the street from Planet Fitness on MLK. I was just across the street. I wondered if it was a medium sized airplane with all lights turned off and the wings lit up, but that makes no sense. The lights were not normal airplane lights in any way. Also the lights moved very slowly and were only about 50 feet above the gas station. After about 45 seconds the lights disappeared behind some trees. I do not believe in UFOs but don’t know how to explain this.

Around 3:30 PM/ET, A silver cube/saucer shaped UFO was seen hovering (standing still) over Mother Tree and Upper Mudcatcher trail area at Antietam Lake Park in Lower Alsace Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania on Saturday, October 5, 2019. An older couple was looking up at the sky and asked my partner and me if we see anything. We looked up and saw this cube/saucer like object hovering still in one spot. The older man told us that it was stationary there for about 15 minutes before we came along. The man said he saw spirals around the side of the craft when he looked through his binoculars. We watched it stay still in the sky for an additional 15 minutes until I took pictures with my cell phone. Once I took pictures the object just simply vanished. My cell phone captured something that does not look like a weather balloon, drone, airplane, or anything that people would normally say to debunk a sighting. What is it? We don’t know but it was fascinating. We did not get the older couple’s names, but my partner is a caregiver for a home care group and I am a paralegal and work in the corporate law department of a large insurance company.

Stationary in sky at altitude viewed with binoculars for 1 hour. Btight White object as vieeed. Perfect clear day. Appeared to be stationary with movement simulated by rotation of earth making it seem like it was moving from magnetic northeast to south toward rising sun position East at 2 hours prior to sunset. Inital location was 50 degrees from ground at NE with apparent movement south. The reference altitude from several 40,000 feet jets under it put it at gt 100,000-500,000 or higher feet. Clear observation with high powered binoculars with distinct shape like donut. Ruled out weather balloon, ISS, gas, star, moon, several witnesses

Lebanon, PA
We saw two round bright white objects in the daytime sky. They did not move from the spots above our house, for more than 45 minutes. They looked very small due to how high in the sky they were. My husband has pictures of them on our digital camera. One did appear to split in half, then the two parts merged back together, it happened within a second of the split. The other moved a little closer. At times it appeared that the spheres had "tails", but would always resume their spherical shape, and did not move from their positions in the sky. When an airplane was moving in their direction, they moved out of the way of the airplane, then back to their original position. In one of the pictures that my husband took, it appears that there is a line of lights down the center of the sphere.

watching a blue jay. wife noticed metallic globe-like object in sky. moved slowly west to southeast...changed shape...changed from transparent to white...we watched object until it disappeared over the treeline...too high for a balloon; if a balloon the morning was too windy for it to hover...neighbor witnessed it and showed me pics of objects off N. Carolina coast last week...very, very similar

Yesterday, October 5th, Myself and my mother watched a circular silver object just sit in the sky over our house. My mother first spotted it while watching the planes. She was shown an app that tracks all the planes and you can see all of its info and is now addicted. So watching planes she noticed the object. After a few minutes she texted me to come up to the porch and look at something. I laid back on a chair and began watching with my mother. I quickly grabbed my phone and began filming. I will apologize right now for when it is out of focus or a little shaky. This object looked not so far away, but then you would see a plane thats at 38,000ft pass between me and the object. Very silver, very shiny, very round. This thing must have been fairly large.

Saguaro Lake (Mesa), AZ
I will preface this stating I love making amateur art for my viewing pleasure to associate it with my good memories. So I used photo filters on some pictures obviously but I don't think I did on all. One second to last is Bartlett Lake but the rest are Saguaro Lake. I can't even recall when it really dawned on me this is an abnormal object in my pictures. My boyfriend at that time had a cabin cruiser boat and we stayed all night on the boat near that location. I remember thinking the canyon walls were so amazing and had stories to tell. That marks the day I started taking random pictures of all the scenes at the lakes we visited, or I visit, because I was fascinated with the mystery and beauty I hadn't yet experienced in Arizona even though I had lived here 20 years. That same day Saturday, oct 5 2019, we went to a music jam along the dock at a friend's houseboat so we took a few friends out on our boat back to that area of the lake. It was getting to be early evening and the sun would set soon so as we were at the last part of the canyon walls heading SE to the marina/boat docks before hitting open water when we all saw 3 bighorn sheep standing eerily observant at the very edge of the cliff to the north as if they were giving warning yet watching for something to come. It was just a strange day as I reflect back on the date of the picture and the date of the party and the bighorn sheep sighting. That spot was not far from where I took pictures earlier that morning. (*Note - Also reading below to check the boxes, the depth finder on the boat went out there in that area but it happened more than once in that area. I know it happened one other time at Bartlett lake but I have actually had several friends who have mentioned while cruising around Saguaro lake that the depth finder cut out. It's always in what I call middle canyon before shipwreck rock. So I am going to check the box for electrical interference below ) I have more accounts from saguaro lake and salt river that leads downstream from the lake. I don't have specific dates, but i have a date range from late July 2020 to early November 2020. It was during covid, they closed rec areas at the lakes due to COVID and then longer due to wildfires in AZ near the area. I have a friend who can attest to seeing strange objects we actually thought were drones possibly the size of cars that looked far away but as we would pay attention more we could actually see them hovering. We didn't go out with the intention to see anything. We both love being on the water and being at one with nature - especially in the desert on the water. I have a habit of dropping phones in the water so often times I wouldn't take a phone with me so no photos of the car sized drone appearing objects - just my word which offers no credibility. I'm only accounting this for your record on a chance that maybe it will help validate or correlate someone else's story. I'm not seeking anything out of this other than satisfying my curiosity which I realize I could only be so lucky. I know I saw something and I don't have to prove it to anyone for my own satisfaction. Also I can only account for 3 different nights of seeing what I thought were 2-3 drones all with the same friend. It was dark skies every time we saw them, but the objects were almost like dark or reflective as to blend in with the sky and surroundings. We also observed one night by salt river near granite reef, a a wierd tower was to the NW in the desert behind the damn on national forest or reservation land. It had 3 blinking lights but they weren't consistent as if their purpose was to alert air craft and they stopped blinking eventually. I know they had different colors but I can't remember the specifics and don't want to speculate - I remember a random tower with inconsistent blinking lights. I assumed it had something to do with the "car size drone" activity we had witnessed. Each sighting the objects seemed far away then seemed so close and the pattern of flight briefly witnessed was so angular - things don't just fly fast jutting upward at a 45 -90 degree angle in seconds do they? I'm no scientist, nor mathematician, not an engineer or anything close. What I saw could probably be easily explained, and in listening to conspiracy theorists locally, nationally, worldwide it may not be ufo related. The time frame was around COVID, presidential election, escalated and sensationalized government finger pointing and propoganda, news of Jeff Besoz and his recent Amazon property acquisition in NE Mesa not far from the lake and river, in which the same time articles reported of him dumping amazon stock and investing in high tech tracking technology overseas, along with the Elon Musk/Tesla presence in Tempe AZ, Chandler home to Intel, Honeywell, and a ride I had with an Uber driver who can recount words of an engineer from one of the microchip companies stating what takes place in our state would scare us because America is mostly Christian, and their professional work would be viewed as the Devils coming. I speculate and overthink what I saw, I am very open minded, and I am sure there are logical explanations, but I'm not a sheeple at heart and I think it's crazy, ignorant, and insulting to be told or desensitized, and programmed to think we are the only life form that exists. Just to note how we accessed closed land was due to my friend that lives there on a houseboat at Saguaro lake so we launched paddle board, canoe, kayaks from the dock initially. Then saguaro del Norte rec area at the lake and granite reef and other river rec areas opened up again to the public. One thing to note Butcher Jones rec area at Saguaro did not open up for almost another 6 months, so like spring of 2021 maybe longer. This is where we saw the most activity that we truly thought were large drones the size of cars. On January 30, 2021 I also caught another picture on saguaro with a wierd orb sphere off the water which could be sunlight reflecting just like my first pictures. I am going to attach them all. Sorry if I have wasted your time, and I appreciate any further look this gets. Thank you for the work you do.

4-5 objects flying to center and shooting back out. The center point appeared to move Southeast over 30 minutes over tall buildings and then to Rt 29. Few flashes of light on film spotted but no rain or lightning visible as an eye witness. Called cop I know in neighboring Vienna and he witnessed the same Lights, formation to center, moving southeast.

Saw a very bright sphere move across the sky very, very, slowly. When looking very closely, it appeared to be a disc shape, but the light being emitted was spherical. Then it quickly vanished in the blink of an eye as it if disappeared or had some cloaking mechanism. It was also quiet. Never heard a sound.

Bluffton, SC
While out running at 0630 hrs this Saturday morning. It was dark. Was looking up to West when a large bright green orb/fireball (?) object streaked across the sky going NNW. About 10 minutes later, as the sky brightened up, I looked up and saw a long thick contrail-like that completely crossed the sky where the object streaked over. Like horizon to horizon. About 5 minutes later I observed a military jet and its contrail flying parallel just to the right of the orb contrail. The military jet was going very slowly as it was very high up. Compared to the bright green orb like object that only took about 2 seconds to cross the sky over me.

Ormond Beach, FL
About 15 minutes later, we had gone northbound on the I-95, and I caught a quick glimpse of a dim light (dim due to distance) shoot from above my windshield, and head north. When I arrived to work, 3 hours into my shift, I check my phone and an article was posted, WITH video, about a North Carolina man on a Ferry with multiple witnesses who caught footage of 5+ lights above the ocean.

Warrenton, MO
It was a clear night and not a cloud in the sky north and northwest of us. To the South the sky was cloudy due to rain. As I was enjoying the stars, I noticed something traveling at the tree line that appeared to be a huge oblong shaped cloud from a distance. It was traveling about 30 miles per hour and as it reached the front of my house, I looked closer and noticed it was a solid object emitting smoke all over it as if it were trying to appear to be a cloud. The entire time not once did this object make not one noise; in fact, it was very quiet and still when this flew by. I then said to my husband “what is that?!”, he turned around and watched it through the tree, when suddenly it made a hard left and we noticed a wing; as it floated east, I quickly went inside frightened as I have never seen this before. My husband watched it disappear through a tree line behind our house and got a clearer view as it floated away, he claims it was chevron shaped. It had zero lights on it, and was like a dark charcoal gray inside of the cloud appearance. I really wish I would have had my phone to take a video, but this thing flew by so quick I did not have time to get my phone. We both lost sleep over this that night and spent hours researching what we saw.

I woke up, saw a glowing red light throughout my room. Looked like it was coming from my under my bed. I heard a humming, zooming, sound. I woke up my husband, but he just turned and fell back to sleep. I turned the other way and fell back to sleep. Last time I saw this light, it was on Holiday Park on Mc Chord AFB, campsite 5 and 3, just last year in 2018.

I often see comets or shooting stars as I sit on a bench on my front porch. Sometimes they are like a thin white streak through the night sky. Sometimes they are closer to earth and are a bright beautiful yellow. I enjoy seeing these, so I will often try to catch them. Last night at 2:19 or so I was sitting and I noticed something above in my peripheral. I looked up and it is a perfect v flying against the night sky. Glowing, and I am immediately out of my seat, rationalizing it to myself. Those are birds. It looks almost like the V birds make but somehow perfect and they are moving totally unlike birds. Nothing is staggered, it's almost like it's coasting. The light had seemed extremely bright when it was basically over top of me, but once it started to move rapidly away, it began to get slightly dimmer, but I could still easily see it against the night sky. In no time at all the V is getting longer and longer in the distance. The formation is heading towar! ds town so I can see the shape against the slightly lit up backdrop above the trees and I swear before it dipped below I could see the outline of a ship. It seemed wide like a saucer but thicker height wise then what I generally think of a saucer. I have lived here for more than a year. It is a tourist town on the coast and there is a military base very nearby. The Eglin Air Force Base. Basically this town is tourists and military members. I have never had an encounter like this before. I was on the phone with a friend of mine just screaming, "What is that? That is not normal." Because, it wasn't. Airplanes fly over my all the time. I am used to the roar at all hours of the night. I have watched from the beach as the air force practiced flying their jets in formation, and my daughter cried because it was literally too loud for her. I know what ships sound and look like in the sky, but whatever I saw last night was totally silent. No hum to the air. No roar as it passed by. I was terrified and giddy all at the same time. I almost started to cry, because in the midst of this thing I did not understand I realized it was sort of a gift. I am writing this in the hopes that you maybe get something from around this! area last night, that someone else saw something and I am not crazy. Even if no one else did see though, I never thought I would get to see something like it. It was a singular experience that was difficult to describe. I hope it helps!
