Saratoga, CA
Irregular, angular silver metallic craft, appeared to be several miles high, moves upward for 20 minutes until out of sight. Had one white light that flashed randomly. When first seen, the light was 5 times brighter than a star, the craft about 10 times larger than the light.

Red Mountain, AZ
A large shadow of a rectangle or trapezoid shape appeared midway on the southwest side of Mount Mcdowell (aka Red Mountain) in North Phoenix. The motion of the shadow was moving from the top of the mountain to the base and then disappeared, as if a cloaked ufo was passing by casting shadow. Clear blue sky, no clouds causing shadow.

Red Hill, NM
On Sunday, Sept.22, while returning home from an RV vacation in New Mexico my wife and I saw something unusual. We were traveling west on Rt 60, in New Mexico, approximately 5 miles before reaching the AZ border. This sighting occurred around 1:45pm on a clear blue-sky afternoon. Looking straight ahead I saw this very bright white solitary object, traveling very fast across the blue-sky. It was traveling in a southerly direction. It had no discernable shape. My first thought was that it was a jet plane, but we saw no contrail and seemed too fast to be a jet plane. I said to my wife, “what’s that?”. We both watched as it streaked across the sky and then disappear into the horizon, all within about 10-12 seconds time.

While watching a video I took of fighter jets preparing to do a flyover at Gillette Stadium. I noticed a triangular shaped craft above the jets. There was also a white ball that seemed to have flown out of the craft at a high rate of speed, flying right to left over the fighter jets.

Billerica, MA
We were outside by our pool this morning when we saw something coming from the southeast and heading northeast. There wasn’t any sound and the sun was pretty bright so it was hard to see the screen on my phone but I took 4 pictures as it moved. I’m wondering if anyone saw this and if it’s just a hoax by someone or a drone. It would have been seen from Burlington, Woburn and probably Wilmington based on the direction it moved.

I was outside and looked up at the moon and noticed what looked like a bright star meandering west to east. I thought maybe it was a satellite catching the rising sun, but it started moving laterally to its direction of motion. Maybe a balloon, but it was a bit early for that... Object maintained movement direction, but occasionally stopped and hovered, then continued on its way. At one point I looked away and had difficulty relocating the object, but finally caught a glimpse of a very tiny dot that then seemed to disappear in a whisper of smoke. Very strange, especially given its luminosity. Probably a shiny balloon but felt compelled to report. The longer I looked the more floaters appeared in my eyes, so it became pretty futile.

Boron, CA
I was sitting around a campfire with a group of people about 5 miles off of Route 395 in the Mojave desert. It was around 330am and I had been looking up all night because the stars were amazing. Directly east, I saw a light way off in the distance, which I first thought was a star but it began to move. My second thought it was a shooting star because it was dropping but then it made a sharp left, then straight back up. I had to rub my eyes to make sure it wasn't an illusion. My next thought was it was a satellite, but then it dropped straight down again. All of this was happening in the same location, and I knew this because I was using a star for reference. Once my brain realized what I was seeing I woke people up and it made a left and took off faster than any aircraft would and covered a huge distance in a matter of 1 second. My friend caught the last bit of it. I have seen UFOs before in northern Michigan and Washington (which only hovered) but I've never witnessed any aerial gymnastics like this. I kept thinking maybe it's government craft because I was in the middle of the desert, but who knows

On 09/21/2019 on or about 23:30 I was coming home and after parking the truck I walked to the house when I looked up and saw red orb high in the sky. The orb hovered for about 30 seconds then shot up at a high rate of speed and disappeared. Weather 64 degrees clear sky.

Gallipolis, OH
((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESSES)) Saturday 9/21/2019 11:13 PM Gallia County Fairgrounds ((deleted)) Gallipolis, OH 45631 While enjoying our campfire at Gallia County Fairgrounds, listening to the coyotes in the valley, we both saw a small, dim, white light appear above the tree line to the south of our campsite. It began coming towards us, getting brighter and brighter as it approached. My husband had been shining his strobing flashlight at various aircraft flying overhead just prior to its arrival. I began to worry that this was a plane or helicopter that was going to attempt a landing in our vicinity. It cleared the tree line and dipped downward, traveling across the field and straight toward us. It was moving slowly and stopped several times on its approach. It kept getting brighter as it came close, a brilliant white light in the shape of a circle, the white of an LED bulb. It hovered approximately 50 yards maximum from where we were sitting. It appeared as a flat, circular, one dimensional, brilliant white light that looked almost like it had been cut from a piece of paper. It hovered for about 8 seconds before shooting off to the west at a phenomenal speed. At this point my wife bailed and escaped into the RV. I noticed that all of the animal sounds had quieted. Dead silence ensued. Unsure of its intentions, I reached for my 45 caliber handgun on the picnic bench next to my chair. I was unable to lift the gun as my arm seemed to no longer function. Panic hit me at this point. The object quickly shot off to the west, dimmed and was gone. The next morning, I surveyed the area, took some photos. I estimate that its diameter was 20 feet or larger.

My girlfriend and I were smoking a cigarette on the deck when we noticed a triangular object with 6 lights in the sky above the field with 2 drones watching it.

Nashville, TN
I was out with friends in Nashville on a Saturday night. We had proceeded to the rooftop of a business located on Broadway. I looked up towards the AT&T “bat building “ and noticed around 4 lights zipping around the sky above the building. They would disappear for a few moments then suddenly return. Objects were making sudden direction changes and quick accelerations. The objects were not necessarily always witnessed at once but maybe 2, then a 3rd or 4th would return. I have a Bachelor’s degree in math and physical science and have always enjoyed stargazing. Possibly advertising lights?? PD

Edisto Island, SC
Light was observed on Edisto Island off the coast of SC. I was traveling south to north and was roughly100-200 ft in the air. It would travel north then circle out to the west and then reappear further south and perform the same pattern, slowly and methodically getting further from view. It seemed to have only one forward facing light as when I made its turn, the light faded away.

Folsom, PA
We were sitting in our yard as we frequently do on weekends. We like to watch for satellites, the ISS, etc., and have seen these plenty of times and are very familiar with them. At 22:17 (10:17 PM ET) we saw this orange light appear from the NW sky and it moved slowly across the sky to the NE and then disappeared as it reached a certain point in the distance, much like a satellite does. However, unlike a satellite or the ISS, this object was much larger, approx. the size of a dime held at arm's length and it was orange like fire, but was not a fireball. It was bigger than any airplane lights and there were no flashing lights. It was just a solid orange light and it was silent. It took around two minutes to move across the sky.

My husband and I were staying at the Buccaneer Bay Inn and went out to look at the stars after dinner. It was approximately 9:30 pm when I noticed a moving object in the stars. The light was pinkish in color and stayed solid. It moved across the sky very quickly. It was faster than any normal aircraft. My husband is a sceptic and couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Approximately 5 minutes later another moving object went back across the sky in the opposite direction. It was very clear this evening and other normal aircraft were easily identified. As these object moved across the sky I pointed it out to people passing by and they stopped to view it also. My husband is a service manager for a dealer in Tallahassee and I am a retired nurse, I also worked for Northrop Grumman Aerospace for 7 years and I am familiar with aircrafts.

Clinton, TN
We observed a oval shaped greenish object in the sky. It was quickly moving from west to east. It moved so fast that it seemed to look like it left a tracer of light. It moved into view as we were driving on Lake City Hwy. It moved in and out of view in 3 seconds. As we turned a corner the sky opened up and I saw it again very briefly move across the sky and out of view.

Bend, OR
My husband and I were in the hot tub and he noticed a bright white light moving up in a diagonal direction in the sky north of us. We watched it carefully because it wasn't flashing like a plane would. It was perfectly white and was moving in a steady pattern. We were saying, "What is that? It's not a plane because it's not flashing, it's not a satellite because it's too bright, it's not a meteor because it's moving up in the sky... then it dimmed and completely disappeared into a perfectly cloudless, black sky. We watched the sky in that area for some time and it didn't reappear at all. I got online to see if others have seen the same thing... it sounds like some of the things others have indeed seen lately.

Mankato, SD
Standing outside with my dogs at 9pm, partly cloudy. I look east and see a shiny formation which I slowly make out as it started to move north and northeast away from me disappearing into clouds. It moved effortlessly smooth, like nothing Ive ever seen. It was completely quiet, seemed 2 football fields away, so it felt close but also felt far away because the size was very hard to distinguish. It looked as if it could have had lights but not on, it was shiny like the natural moon light reflecting off to make it gray. Was only in sight for a minute or 2, moving the whole time.

At 8:50pm there was an orange/red object with smoke trailing behind moving through the air from West to Northwest then it disappeared. This may have been a meteor burning up,however eactly 10 minutes later we saw what looked like a tiny dim moving star traveling in a straight line, it suddenly got larger and flashed an extremely bright white light that slowly dimmed to a tiny deep red dot and continued traveling for about 5 seconds until completely disappearing. This object was traveling West to East. I am completely dumbfounded. I have seen satellites and this was definitely not a satellite. Both objects were traveling horizontally, they were not falling to the ground.

At about 9 p.m. I was out back at a friend’s house preparing for a campfire. I looked up into the sky facing north. I saw a steady white light about the size of a star moving from west to east. At first I thought it was a plane but there were no strobe lights flashing. At first it moved in a straight line. After watching about 10 seconds it started moving erratically. Up and down, left and right. I called to my son-in-law who also saw it. While still moving erratically, it disappeared behind a tree. Total observation time was about 30 seconds. It appeared to be high in the sky. The size did not change while observing it.
