This was a very bright sunny day clear blue skies as I looked up above my apartment I noticed a large group of what I thought were flares because they were orange and extremely bright. The objects had moved north towards the lake and eventually disappeared within two minutes the objects reappeared and came back the same direction they had just went. They had changed colors shape and size. I went through and took screenshots of the video in slow motion and you can see there was at least three different objects that they changed into including a saucer shape and I had some pretty clear images that looked just like a perfect saucer.

Late Saturday night/Sunday morning I was laying out watching for meteors with my feet facing east, I noticed a swift but silent moving triangular craft swiftly moving from NW to SE direction. It was black, with about 5-7 dimmed lights around the front two sides in a v formation. This was up well above where planes are, moving in deep in space amongst the stars. Within a few second it was out of sight. This is the second time I have personally seen this while out watching meteor showers in the last 2 years

White light in the shape of an orb was moving in different directions across the sky for about 30 minutes and then disappeared. It looked like it had white/gold strands coming off of it. It reappeared about an hour later in a different part of the sky. It was flashing red and green and white lights. It then disappeared again.

I was driving on Best Street heading East and saw what I immediately assumed was a plane. I saw two pinpoint flashing red lights on both the left and right sides of the object (east and West). Then I realized that it was not a plane. I could see the underside of the object which looked like the bottom of a mostly triangular shaped object shaped kind of like a bicycle seat. The grey color reminded me of the color of a jet. The object did not appear to be moving and if it was it had to be extremely slow as it was undetectable from my vantage point. I pulled over to to check the Flight Radar app and the closest plane was shown over Amherst, NY. The Buffalo Niagara International Airport is just a few miles from where I was so I wanted to just assume it was a plane. Planes don't stand still in the air or hover so I decided to report this. I really want to know what it was. I was approaching the turn for the 33 West and couldn't stay pulled over in the lane I was in so I had to drive off. The object was still there when I drove off.

It was early evening on November 18, 2023 and my wife and I were sitting in our living room watching the news. Our leather sofa sits perpendicular to our ten-foot living room window which is on the north side of the house facing the US/Canada border. There is quite often activity along the border with drones and helicopters doing whatever it is they are supposed to do so we seldom pay much attention. However, that evening as we sat watching, my attention was drawn to a round bright light slightly higher than the tree line on my neighbor’s property about a half mile away. At first we thought it could be a helicopter but the light was larger than any we’ve seen before and it was pointed straight at our direction not searching the ground. We watched it for several minutes, musing between each other that maybe it was an airplane. But, then logic kicking in and we could not understand how a plane intending to land at a nearby airport (there is one in Abbottsford and one in Bellingham but neither are that close to us), would be holding such a low and, seemingly, fixed position. Finally, with curiosity getting the best of me, I got off the couch and walked to the window to get a better view. As soon as I made the window, with my wife still watching from the couch, the large round light began to retreat away from me, as it were, and the light grew smaller and smaller. It took maybe five seconds for it to become very small and then it took a 90 degree turn upwards and continued rising behind some misty clouds until it came to a stop and took the form of a red and white blinking light. It remained stationary in the sky and we shut the curtains.

Hello NUFORC, At around noon on 11/18/2023 I heard two low-flying fighters outside of our house. As I was standing in our backyard, I saw two F-35's fly around the house three times over the course of 15-30 minutes. I don't know why there were F-35's here, but Davis-monthan AFB in Tucson is not a fighter base (I was stationed there from 2007-2011). I don't want to assume too much, but the nearest F-35's I know about are stationed at Luke AFB in PHX. Sometimes they will have an airshow or other host nation partners' pilots will train here with some of the U.S. pilots. Either way, when I heard the aircraft outside it prompted me to investigate. As I was observing them I witnessed two other high-flying jets (higher than 20k ft approximately) that were streaming across the sky. This prompted me to grab my telescope (25mm lens) so I could get a better look at them. As I followed one of them with my telescope I observed a UAP floating in the background (not following the aircraft, but caught my eye). Light reflected off of it like it was metallic. I continued to observe the object for approximately twenty minutes until inclement weather prevented me from observing it anymore. It was moving, but it was very slow. I know because I had to adjust me telescope every minute or so. The photos that I took are through my 25mm lens facing west by southwest of our backyard. Even when light wasn't reflecting off of it, it was hard to make out what it was (that's how far it was). I don't want to assume what it was, but I attached some photos that I took from my telescope. It is difficult to take photos with my phone through the lens, but the photos do reflect what I saw. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. If you call please leave a voicemail so I know. Respectfully, Scott

The sphere was about 500 ft in the air at about 1,200 yards away. Sitting dead still. Shiny perfectly smooth sphere. Watched it for about 2 mins then it just disappeared. I don’t know if it flew off at super high speeds I couldn’t see or if it cloaked itself. I’ve had other hunters in my club see objects over the years they can’t explain either.

I seen these same orbs in August, in Tennesse, same time, same direction. They fade in and out of brightness and will reappear in a different spot and move quickly in any direction. In August they appeared to be playing with each other.

I was driving home with my wife beside me and spotted something above and ahead of us close to the road. My 40 degree angle of visual contact was becoming more steep as we approached and I turned onto the driveway, causing me to lose sight of the craft. Jumping out of the car, I grabbed my phone from my pocket while running toward the street with the intention of taking a photograph, but it was completely gone when I got there. I scanned the sky and saw only a smaller private jet, which was also white. What interested me most here was the jet's path: its movement was curved and put me and anything directly above me at the center of the near semicircle it was following. It is a good possibility that a person or persons on that aircraft saw what I had just seen. I have a series of photos that can document the curved path of which I speak. Description of the machine: My estimation of the object's size is 8' x 20'. The entire thing had a very white matte finish. There were no markings of any kind that were visible to me. Upon first spotting the object I focused on what I thought of as its front end. It appeared to be a perfect sphere from my vantage point. There were no windows and this portion of the form looked seamless. My gaze then moved to the platform type structure and I especially focused on what appeared to be panels on the platform's side. I was fixated on how the two panels that hung down beyond the bottom of the main part of the structure were exactly the same size in length and width as the two panels directly above each of them. Any details that I observed about the bottom of the craft were done mostly with peripheral vision but I did focus on the bottom for a fraction of a second. I left the bottom of the craft unaddressed in my drawing, but I do know there was additional architecture there. I believe I saw a tubular structure that was molded seamlessly and extended from the front to the back of the platform's bottom, presenting itself as something like a half round. I saw other components mostly as a general impression, but I also believe I saw two more extensions on the bottom of the opposite side and their thickness extended below the main body of the craft. The lower panels did not extend as far down below the platform's bottom as my drawing would indicate, but I have not been able to draw all of the proportions to my satisfaction. There is no doubt that the sphere and platform were attached, but because of the way I visually jumped from one aspect of its construction to the other I am not completely sure of how these two main parts transitioned. I am open to sharing more with any interested parties but understand that that may be of limited usefulness unless there are other witnesses. Location details: Most of the leaves where still on the trees. The craft was just above the smallest larger tree on the right side of the street in the photo Using a nearby by utility pole (estimated at 45 feet tall) as a reference, the craft was around 60 feet off the ground. The craft seemed nestled in and around the trees, although it was obvious that it was not in direct contact with them or anything else. As I said before, it was stationary and silent. Even though my wife was with me as my story unfolded, she was focused on her device and apparently didn't react to my statement, "What is that" as we approached. She later claimed her own sighting on November 22 which she hopefully will report.

I was standing outside stargazing with my two small children. I noticed a craft out of the corner of my eye and disregarded it as an airplane. My youngest daughter asked “dad, what’s that” I told her “it is an airplane” Then I paused and said “but it’s the wrong shape……with the wrong lights….. And wrong sound” I wish I had gotten a video but at that point it was in the tree line. It moved pretty slow and the sound was a low humming sound. Grew up on Air Force bases. Did not sound like a plane to me.

I was driving and saw bright lights that appeared to hover over the side of the freeway. I was on the phone with my dad and hung up because I wanted to film it. It seemed like a low plane at first but quickly I realized I was approaching it, and it wasn’t moving. It was crazy. When I passed it going 40 mph in a 70 I saw the side of it. It was not flat like a drone but more ball shaped? Maybe rectangle? But not flat. It had volume. And it was very large? Truck sized at least. And silent. I pulled over and started filming again and it just started moving away from me opposite direction, along highway. I tried to zoom in on it but it’s very hard to tell in video. It seemed to have two big circles on the back of it, inside where the light was coming from. And that’s the direction it moved. Like big jet engines on the back is what it made me think of. But they weren’t lit up and it was silent. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Possible]

Object was white and circular. It made no noise and left no contrail. It moved rapidly side to side and up and down. It appeared to be rotating and there were faint blue and red lights on the outer part of the saucer. No aircraft could have maneuvered like that. Clear sky, light haze, 70 degs.. Suddenly/abruptly it disappeared as I was watching it, just poof, it was gone. I am a retired Senior Intelligence Officer and am a trained observer. It was definitely not an aircraft.

I happened to look out my bedroom window at around 2:30am and I saw a small circular UFO that blinked between white and black. it moved up and down and left and right and loop-d-looped. The bottom part of my window was covered with a drop-cloth because my parents and I are getting new shades for our windows. I tried taking a video and photos of the UFO but my flip-phone apparently does not allow for that function. I got our binoculars but the binoculars did not work well and I could not get a clear sight on the lense. I had my TV on because I was watching the news. I watch the news in the middle of the night. My parents were sleeping and nobody in my neighborhood was awake apparently. We live in a gated community in Fort Myers, Florida. There is a sidewalk in front of out house and nobody was walking on the sidewalk and no cars drove by on our street. I did not tell my parents about this UFO sighting. I have seen vidoes of this type of UFO sighting that I saw on the internet. It is the first time I have seen a UFO with my own eyes.

I was driving with my wife and noticed this unusual object moving quickly over the tree line of the forest preserve.Watching it reminded me of a flat bed truck traveling down the highway at too fast a speed. Since the quality of the light was so unusual and I do not draw well, the image I attached is more of a schematic.The single arrow in front of the craft shows the forward movement. The very back was not illuminated; I represented this by shading that area. The side I could see best had enough light to show a sharp edge, but I had no sense of how tall the side was ...except that it was very close to the trees. I believe I saw two rows of four dim blue/violet lights that nicely light almost all of the platform surface. There was a second, less defined, yet radiating, light source coming from the front in a hue somewhere between a warm white LED bulb and yellow represented by the three grouped arrows. It was a bit brighter in both color and intensity and intermingled with the other color to some extent. For the question about the size of the object, it was really more like the size of two pennies at something like a two to one ratio. Even though the sighting was very brief, it made a strong impression. And even though it made a strong impression, I would not have made this report if I didn't have another event two days later. My notes are from two days after this experience.

Walking in neighborhood when at around 9 PM I observed a unique reddish light pulsing (not blinking and not super bright) SSE of me, with no distinct separate lights but seemed more than one singular light, maybe moving slowly or appearing to move slowly because of its trajectory, or maybe it was still, hard to say as I never stopped walking. Its average intensity didn't change aside from the pulsing and I Kept an eye on it as I walked, but the immediate homes I was walking past obscured my view at times. Initially assumed it was likely a low aircraft, as planes are pretty common to see in that general area of the sky and the pulses were at a regular interval - I could also see white headlights of a plane further south down near the horizon. While catching it in a gap between two rooftops in the area where I was expecting to see the reddish light, was a much brighter white light, falling straight down, like a very bright shooting star. I ran to clear the next house (2-3 seconds), but there was no sign of anything in that part of the sky anymore. I continued to scan the sky and watched the distant plane as it slowly approached, identifiable as a plane by the clear individual lights as it passed me to the east heading north. It seemed like the area where the reddish light was seen was more to the west of that plane's flight path. I checked a flight tracker replay at home and saw the northbound plane, around 9:05, but nothing else that matched what I saw preceded it. Sky was clear with no cloud cover.

I went out on my back deck that faces north at approximately 8:30pm. Looking off to the West on my left I could see one bright light,which isn't impressive as my wife and I live 5-10 minutes away from an airport. There were no landing lights, no strobes. Just a solid bright white light moving slow. A 2nd light appeared from nothing below it. It was dimmer, slightly yellow. As the 2nd started to rise up, the first light moved to the left, allowing it space. A 3rd light appeared off to the lower right of the 2nd,and started to rise as well. The 2nd and 3rd light grew in brightness to match the first light. They all 3 started to rise higher to about 45 degrees, instantly fading to smaller pin spots that moved off left,and right, at different speeds and disappearing. I could see this with my eyes. I ran inside to get my binoculars,and to get my wife to see them. As we're coming back outside, 4 lights of equal brightness are all moving in different directions at different speeds in the same area I viewed them individually through my binoculars. As they moved left and right, they would get dimmer the faster they went,but still visible. Briefly, a 5th light appeared acting with the same mannerisms as the other 4. At this point I did notice more aircraft in that part of the sky, approximately 4,but I couldn't tell you if they were commercial or military,but their lights definitely blinked like standard lights on a plane. They all disappeared momentarily again, with 3 reappearing with the same brighter white, and one dimmer yellow/amber one moving back and forth at a faster speed. By 9pm, only 2 were visible but dim, and moving slowly, and they gradually disappeared. When my wife and I came out with the binoculars,she witnessed their movement as well. Like I said,we live pretty close to an airport,and see all kinds of lights attached to planes. These didn't move like planes,or give any signs of typical aviation notifications. I'd give anything for the Akron/Canton airport to look at their radar records for that time span today.

I was watching the sky for aircraft as I often do. I was a TSO for the TSA, and I like to count the number of aircraft I can see at any given Time. I observed a silver oval shaped craft moving quickly from the SE of my position going NE. I am very familiar with the size and shape of most commercial and military Aircraft. This was not any of them. It was moving after dusk with no running lights or strobes. It was at an altitude of approximately 1000 feet. As I watched it for several minutes it simply disappeared. The light didn't fad, it was gone. The object looked to be larger than a commercial aircraft. I judged it to be about a mile or so away and appeared to be the size of a golf ball.

Was in the midst of playing guitar and drumming and was exiting the bathroom when I went to go shut the window and blinds. The angle I was at gave me clear view of the 7/11 across the train tracks adjacent to my building. I saw a cigar shaped saucer with four lights on the underbelly of the craft, and a blue haze was being emitted from the underbelly. I was freaking out, yelling at my neighbor's to look out the window, and it stayed out until others went to observe, but it was still visible as it descended behind the building next to 7/11. It eventually disappeared and no one saw it fly away, but as we awaited it's departure, a second craft came in from the southwest and flew rather erratically and didn't fly like how I traditionally propelled aircraft would. The crafts also exhibited both horizontal and VTOL flight capabilities, with them seeming propelled by the propulsion source on the underside of the craft that emits a blue glow akin to the same glow emitted by uranium fuel rods when submerged in a cooling pool in a nuclear power plant, or like the glow of the tesseract in the Avengers film. A blue glow emanated from both craft's undersides.

I can't believe I'm filling this out. I was driving home and saw three lights as I was going up a hill toward the end of the hill at a junction from Nelson Rd to West Rd. I was surprised and thought the lights were a new radio tower or something. It was too close to be the only other lights which are further at a ski place about 6 miles down. I take this road three times a week so it was foreign and new. As I got to the crest of the hill overlooking the field where I expected a tower, there was none, and the objects were just floating. I turned my car southwest on cranston rd instead of going northeast as I usually do to get home to get a better view. At this point I could only see two of them. I was in awe, and had a clear view within my car of one of these things slowly moving east, and the other hovering straight above it, but that one didn’t move, only the bottom one. I was dangerously hanging out around the road and pulled over as another car was behind me and I got out of the car to get a closer look and see if I could hear a helicoptor sound or something as we get a lot of helicopters here. It was completely silent. I was hoping the car behind me would stop to talk about this but he kept going northeast but he was also driving slowly and erratic so I know he saw it. Within a few seconds they both did a small swirl which looked directly away from me and disappeared. I got home, and kind of shaken up by it, I called the NYS State Police in New Lebanon NY at 518-793-8445 to see if they got any reports of weird lights. They didn’t, but he thought it could be a starlink satellite formation. I felt very ackward and told the officer that I felt like a nut calling but I saw something, I have seen starlink satellite lights before and they are much smaller and much more distance than this. The time of the police call was 8:53PM EST and lasted about 1 minute. The total event from driving to me getting out of the car, to them disappearing was less than one minute, maybe around one minute exactly. I did think of getting my phone and taking a video but it just happened too fast and I was kind of stunned by it and didn’t grab one. But I am ordering a dash cam today because of this. What I really just want to know, more than anything, is did anyone else see these? I just want my sighting validating as being seen by someone else is my feeling more than anything. They were insanely bright orange, almost like a campfire, but circular. I am 50 years old, an engineer, a dad, high educated, no alcohol or drugs, well grounded and not a conspiracy nut, and I can't explain what I saw. The way it hovered, moved was not natural, it was clearly vehicular by nature and moved too fast for me to understand what it could be. It was too close to be a satellite, which I see often as I have clear country skies. Is there anyway I can be notified if someone else saw this ? The curiousity is killing me about this. I havent told anyone else other than the police because I didn’t want to sound like a whack job, but its been on my mind all morning. I do not want my name disclosed

First sighting was near Ephrata, PA. It looked like a vertical string of several white lights. It seemed to hover or move slowly. I kept trying to see how it was moving. It appeared it was moving East. I lost sight of it for awhile. I was driving North by Northeast. I exited the major road onto a state road. I saw the shape again in the Western sky. It was moving slowly or hovering. I kept trying to catch a glimpse of it through trees and around houses. When I came to an especially clear vantage, I was able to see there were 5 of the lines of light in a virtually straight east by southeast line. At one point I had three in sight. All had been white lights hanging in a vertical line. When I looked up I caught only one still in my line of sight, and then one with a vertical line of red lights instead moving slightly faster than a jet. I think at least one of its red lights was blinking, but I am not remembering clearly now. The white light objects appeared to blink or shimmer. I am sorry I cannot give a better explanation. I want to say they were at a height of 1 to 3 miles. Probably closer to the lower end. I thought I might be seeing hot air balloons, but it was dark, and hot air balloons could not move at the speed of which the one with red lights moved. The red lights moving stayed in the straight vertical line formation. When I had a safe place to stop there was just one I could see through the trees. I took only one picture but it was not visible in the poor quality duplication. I could see tree branches and perhaps a star nowhere near where the object was. At no time could I see the object to which the lights belonged on any of the lighted lines. Not even the vaguest of shapes to guide me to a credible description of the shape. I said cross shaped because it looked like the upper portion of the lights might have contained projections on either side that seemed at times to also have lights. I could see at least three lights on every one, but it seemed there could have been more. I could not tell, just like I could not give credible sizing. When I saw the extended line of the different "crafts," it looked like they may have had three miles or so in between each of the five I could see. That is about all I can remember. Sorry for the length of this. As the observer, I am a 54 year old white male with masters level degrees used to teach in a grade 7-12 building. I have never made a report of this kind before. I still kind of believe they could have been balloons, but cannot explain the movement of the red lights. I am just not sure what I saw.

I was watching the stars as I do most early mornings and I saw a really bright ball of light and it zipped by super quick not across the whole sky maybe like a fourth of the sky and then disappeared into the sky. It was only one I’m still very shocked but I saw online it says to report so here I am.
