Baldwin, NY
On September 23rd at 21:24 I went in the backyard to smoke a cigarette. As I sat in a chair, in my peripheral vision I saw an unusual glow coming from southwest over my house. It was like a ball of fire that resembled the sun. It moved and a constant speed northeast directly over my yard. At one point it zigzagged a bit and seemed to deform a bit but then continued in its original path. I scrambled to grab my phone and was able to get two quick pictures of it. Later I realized I should have taken a video. Pictures are on my phone though.

Enormous flash of light on a totally clear night. It was so bright it made it look like it was daylight for one full second. It was not lightning there was no sound.

Bright white light was stationary, turned to Orange/red color and moved up and down and sideways. No noise. Have seen it several nights in the same general area. Stays in one place for awhile then starts the quick movements. Moves closer to where I am then further away.

Minneapolis, MN
No sound. Perhaps traveling aound the same height as a high-flying helicopter, but faster. Viewed at an angle so it could not have been some sort of reflection off of helicopter blades. Object was round and emitted an orange glow that slowly rotated around the object. Traveled from South-Southwest to North-Northeast between Edina and Southwest Minneapolis.

Enon, OH
I observed a very bright white sphere in atmosphere. It traveled SW to NE across sky. No flashing lights indicative of commercial or military aircraft. It was too low and too big for satellite. Not a meterorite or shooting star. No sound at all. No contrail. I watched it until it was farcenough in atmosphere tonlose sight of it. The distance it traveled across the sky tells me that it was very fast.

Louisville, KY
Oblong shape flying aircraft. A bright silver color that was very shiny. Clear skies. Moving relatively slowly. Saw it going southwest approximately 180 degrees to 210 degrees. No sound at all could not hear the object. It was after dinner in the evening. Looked like it was smoothly flying with no exhaust trails, even though low normal flying aircraft don’t have contrails. No wings, no lights that I could see because it was very shiny. This happened in September 2019. The day was either the 23rd or 24th of September. Only saw it for 10 seconds to 15 seconds because I could not see it over the tree. 2 witness.

Wake Forest, NC
I had just dropped off our future son in law at a local training campus and was heading back home, southbound on Hwy 1 (also known as Capital Blvd), passing through Wake Forest and talking with my mother on the phone via bluetooth. The phone call was initiated at 13:42 and a few minutes later a fast moving aircraft caught my eye, moving from east to west, then making a quick vertical turn up with the aircraft turning so a triangular shape could be seen briefly as it looped up, then making a downward turn to only see the side of the aircraft (triangular shape undetectable--looked like a thin rectangle at this point), for a split second before a flash of opalescent crystal-like shapes appeared and then it disappeared. I live by a military base and am used to seeing fighter jets fly over on maneuvers when the air base was still separate from the army base (they are now together) so aircraft have always fascinated me. At first I wondered why one would be up in this part of the state when I first saw the aircraft. When it turned and disappeared, I knew it couldn't have been one of ours. I relayed what I saw to my mother after it happened. She mentioned Coast to Coast and how there have been more UFOs sighted lately. I just didn't think I would ever see one, let alone during the day.

Two aircraft sitting still and closely with multi colored lights, then one craft took off while the other remained stationary for quite a long while, the craft that moved away became stationary once again hovering at the same high altitude for a long time. The lights flash in a pattern and are red, white and what appeared to be either green or blue. The two craft are still currently in the same position.

Tinley Park, IL
Driving to work, on 80th Avenue Southbound. At approximately 162nd St., I noticed a round white/silver object in the sky, and thought, "what is that"?. It wasn't moving as an airplane would; it didn't seem to be moving at all. It just hung there. I was driving, so I alternated between watching the road and looking up at it. I did this several times. The final time I looked up, it was gone.

Reading, PA
It was right before 7am when I was at work and went outside to look at the sunrise. This is when I noticed a small dark circle moving slowly around the clouds. I ran to grab my phone, and proceeded to record the object. At first the ball was not moving and was stationary in the sky. It began to move slowly and change direction a few timeS. At first I thought it was a drone, but it was too high and was a perfect circle. A nearby plane around the same distance away also put into perspective of how big the circle really was. As the circle began to go away from me, it began to speed up and moved away rather quickly. I was left stunned and confused, because I have no idea what this could be.

Me and my kids were waiting on the school bus to from 0640-0645. The sky was clear. No clouds. We were looking at the stars and then we seen what appeared to be a large bright circle moving across the sky. Faster than a plane, but not a shooting star. We tracked it for approximately 10 seconds. Then it disappeared without a trace. It was bright white. Had no other colors on it. And looked slightly larger than the North Star.

Norristown, PA
I was standing on the backyard of my house. I've noticed a red, large, round light moving from behind the tree from west towards the east. It was a very bright red ball with a hint of the orange and yellow inside. The shape of it was slightly elongated towards the direction it was moving to. Initially it was moving slow and it was large and clear. I would compare the size of it to the soccer ball held on the stretched out arm. There was no sound. It started moving faster with growing distance. By the time I ran into the house and grabbed my phone if was disappearing. I took a short video but it seems like a star.

My wife and several friends and i were driving west on highway 6 about 8 miles outside of Ely. Wife noticed 4-5 bright orange lights in a line moving south, so i pulled my phone out and started to record the lights. They seemed to break up or fall down at an angle and disappear, only to reappear several miles away down the valley. This continued until we could no longer make them out due to the distance.

UFO Sighting: Black Triangle UFO with three white lights on bottom… Brownstown Township, MI Sunday, September 22nd between the time of 8:45 pm and 9:00pm I was sitting in my hot tub on the back patio after a long day of work. It was a perfectly clear night and the stars were brilliant. There was plenty of airplane traffic flying out of Detroit Metro Airport; a typical night, as I watched out to my west and south vantage point. You could see planes and their lights a good 30 miles out or so; it was super clear. I was in the hot tub with my wife and daughter. They went inside for a brief moment. I leaned my head back and stared directly above to watch all of the stars when a black, triangle-shaped flying object with a small round white light in each of the three corners of the object flew directly over head from north to south/south-east heading at an indeterminable altitude. It was visible to me for only 15-20 seconds total. It watched it fly over-head, staring directly at it. It left no contrail or vapor trails, and would have been difficult to see otherwise, if you weren’t looking directly at it. Its mass blotted out the stars in the sky, which also helped me make out its exact shape. I watched it fly slowly overhead, no noise, at a speed that was less than an aircraft that size would need to stay aloft. It was flying at an altitude higher than the other planes that night climbing in altitude coming out of Metro Airport. It had almost a shimmery maybe cloaking affect to ! itself, yet was flat black in appearance and clearly visible. It was a distinct triangle in form, but each of the rear corners were not pointy like a typical triangle shape would be; each corner appeared to have 45 degree angle cuts on each of its corners. It was unlike any aircraft I have ever seen. It was not a toy-drone flying at that height, at that time of the day, or in the Metro Airport flight route airspace. I watched it until it disappeared behind the roof line of my house. My wife and daughter came out moments later after seeing it. I told them and they thought I was crazy. I saw what I saw…and it wasn’t your typical overhead flying planes like I see all of the time. This was different. Oh, and I wasn’t drinking that night either…lol I thought I would write down the memory of the observation to keep the experience fresh in my head.

My sister pointed out that something was moving in the sky, and I figured I’d check it out. My sister focused on one of them, and I focused on both and my older sister also focused on it. I basically saw it with the light pollution; otherwise, I would have not even seen it. Two sphere objects going at similar speeds just drifting my sis and relatives all saw it. It wasn’t a plane because I know the lights they carry.

On Sunday evening Sept 22nd we were sitting on our back porch after dinner, 5 adults. No alcohol was involved with dinner. We are all in our 50-60’s age wise. We all saw exactly the same thing. Slow moving orange lights coming up from the west and then moving north. At approx. 20:00 we saw these lights coming out of the west sky that were orange balls. Since it was the evening game for the Cleveland Browns we thought it was something flying up to the stadium?? There was no sound. They were very slow moving but they kept coming, 7 of them. They were flying too high to be luminaries. They flew north and then disappeared. My company left approx. 20:20 and saw them down the road now flying in a formation. There had been no news reports on the tv and we were surprised at this as they were in the air for some time. Due to the number and color of them we thought there would for sure be some report.

One family member saw something falling from the third floor. The sky was completely clear and the sun had recently set. Five people went to the third-floor deck to witness this object, which we assumed to be a meteor due to its round appearance and the trail it left. However, it remained in the sky for almost 10 minutes at dusk, while there was still light in the sky. For the first two minutes, we witnessed the object falling directly downwards at a slow pace. It then made a sharp 90 degree turn and continued to move in that direction, leaving an orange trail. It left our field of vision after 10 minutes of continuing to the left. We are still unsure as to if this was some sort of space debris, such as a meteorite, falling through the atmosphere but it does not seem to match the criteria. The object was far enough away that we did not think it would hit anywhere near us.
