1 object. Looked like a star. It was 12am. I could not tell. Depth perception (how close or how far). It was still (not moving). For long periods of time (20 minutes). It moved erratically. In 30 - 40 second time frames. Moving up and down, and in an arching movement (like a half circle). It slowly traveled. Out of sight. Moving away from me. Over the Pacific Ocean. As I was standing. On the shoreline. I observed. This light. For about 1hour 30minutes.

I was sitting outside against the tire of my car waiting for a pizza delivery, just sitting there looking at Jupiter/Ceres whilst I notice a circle (Not sphere) moving slowy at low altitude (Seemed to me at the time being). It was honestly seemed like just a balloon at first and moved at the same rate. But what was absurd about it was it really had no definition/value it just seemed to be a 'flat' round point in the sky, It was about a size of making a circle with your thumb and index and holding it at arms length. It was a warm gray color and lost sight of it after a minute going behind the tree line Characteristics of Object* There were aircraft but as I live on long island this is very common.

We saw what looked like a star at first that moved across the sky - it wasn't a shooting star or meteor. When it moved, it went in sort of a wavey like motion. At this point I still really didn't think much of it but then someone else there noticed a second one, and that's where I diverted my attention. The first "star" was moving towards the second one, which was coming down at that moment towards the horizon. I had my eye on it then the light just went out. It was a crazy. I also want to make it clear that I don't know if it were "aliens" or not, but I would never lie about such a thing like seeing a UFO.

While walking on dark moonless night I noticed flashes of light up near some oak trees may be 50 yards away and thought it was a drone at first but another source of light pulled my attention to about 10 yards in front of me near some cattails in the is little marshy area- Again I thought drone but the lights were not connected and flashed, faded and then sped away back up towards where I saw the first flashes. I thought well maybe it was kids with lasers pointers but the angles and lights didn’t move like that. My music had stopped playing and I was a little freaked felt like the lights had run off and away from me, so I wasn’t in a panic but alert for sure.

My husband and I were sitting outside, enjoying a summer evening. Something caught his eye, he looked up, and screamed for me to look. We both looked and saw 3 extremely bright orange objects in the sky. They were long and not too large. He yelled for me to take a picture. I always have my cell phone with me so I took 3 pictures. Then he said, no, take a video. I switched to video mode but at that point the objects started moving quickly. We starting running from the back of our house to the front, but the objects moved quickly together and then out of sight.

Then it slowly dimmed out, twice. Each time slowly lighting back up. Then it changed course again as it began to drop straight down below the horizon. It dimmed out and disappeared twice more. Each time it would dim out it would slowly reappear in the same spot it had disappeared. Like it stopped moving to disappear and continued dropping again! once it lit up again. Then it fell below the tree line and disappeared for good. I watched that area of the sky for a few minutes and then I watched a shooting star shoot from the right of the object away from me. The shooting star was low on the horizon, which was odd. This was not a plane nor helicopter as it was too high up, moved too slow, had no flashing lights, and stayed stationary for minutes. My fiance also witnessed this and admits it was not explainable. I've never seen a UFO until this. And it seemed to disguise itself as a star. When it first began there was an airplane in the sky, way far away from this object.

Saw 4 bright greenish colored lights in a straight line close together. The lights appeared one by one, hardly moved or moved very slowly, then dissipated one by one into thin air. We saw it from our balcony at our apartment and the lights were over the Ashley River (peninsula) in Charleston, SC. It was a clear sky for the most part, it was dark. we had no lights on or anything in the house or on the balcony. It was just me and my husband.

Sighting 1 of 2. On July 27th my wife and I were stargazing hoping to see some shooting stars in field just south of Clearfork Reservoir near Lexington, Ohio. The location was perfect with very little light pollution along with clear skies. At approximately 1:30 am I thought I saw what would have been the brightest shooting star I have ever seen entering Earth’s atmosphere, originating from the southwest on a bearing of 045 and 30 degrees above the horizon. The object continued to get brighter and just as I was expecting it to flame out the speed immediately slowed to that of a commercial jetliner and the brightness of a normal star. It continued along a straight line for 5-6 seconds before instantly accelerating to full speed and previous brightness as it left Earth’s atmosphere. To be clear, the object flew in the same path and was visible for approximately 7 seconds in its entirety. I am a former pilot who from The Ohio State University flight school. As a pilot, it is imperative to understand what you are seeing and normal phenomena. I honestly thought this would be the only time I wouldn’t be able to explain a sighting only to be proven wrong, two months later. 2 0f 2 to follow

This same thing happened 3 clear times. There were other high flying US planes to compare speed, trajectory etc. as well. Locater in the PNW, I was facing westerly centering myself with a bright star I later determined to be Zenith. The more complex part is that while trying to telepathically communicate with this star, when showing emotion the object were responding to my feeble attemps at communication. I dont drink or use drugs. I was sober. I absolutely believe we all should be looking up. Not just for a moment or two. But spend and hour go sit under the stars. Let your eyes adjust. You CAN communicate with it all if you let it happen. This is also the first of any such article I have ever written on this or any similar subject. I believed enough to find this page and offer my contribution. I now believe. I will be back out tonight and each night! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Bright white light crossing from Southeast to Northwest fast and Bright/large.... faster than airforce jets that are normally crossing overhead. Again it was singular bright light. Not an airplane or jet or small/tiny slow satellite. It's an abnormal nonairplane bright white light.

Observed a cigar shaped object moving east to west at approximately 5000ft. The object was quite large and had 2 rectangle shaped lights on the bottom at either end of the craft which lit up for a second as the craft paused in the sky then when the lights went out it jump several hundred feet forward and repeated that pattern as it made it way across the sky. It was completely silent and flew directly over our location as all 3 of us looked up and tried to make sense of what we were seeing. Kinda flew like a rocket but no sound or smoke and flew parallel to the ground. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

On the evening of Friday, July 26th, 2019, I was out in my side yard just South of Sacramento California. It was close to midnight and dark, with normal light pollution for my area. I was facing North when I saw above me in my peripheral vision something moving fast in my direction. I looked up and saw a very large rectangle moving very fast approximately North to South over Sacramento and it continued its course until I could no longer see it in the distance (was still heading South). It crossed almost directly over my head at what seemed to be above a normal airplane altitude but spanned the distance of the entire sky in approximately 8 seconds from the time I first saw it. I don’t know how fast that is but it made the F-22 Raptor I’ve seen near Fresno seem sluggish, cumbersome, and awkward flying in comparison. It traveled effortlessly, was a light color, possibly silver or a light grey—I could see it in the dark but it had no lights on at all—and it also made no sound. The rectangle was approximately the shape of a stick of gum. I’d guess about a 3 to 1 ratio with no other form to it and it went forward in width rather than length wise. I wish I knew more but I only had enough time to think I would Google it to find out what it was. In doing so I found no explanations for what it could be besides a UFO. I was elated after seeing this, it was a pretty wonderful sight. The only thing I can think is Beale Air Force Base up North but again I found no satisfying information on the internet.

It was around 11:18PM, and my friends and I were hanging out outside when I see an orb appear out of nowhere in the west. At first I thought it was Arcturus, but it got brighter and was moving towards me. (I love astronomy, and am always looking up when I'm outside.) It was a bright light yellowish color, not blinking and no noise. It was flying as close to us as a lower flying airplane, so I thought maybe it was a drone. As it headed east and passed above us, we noticed there was a smaller orb following at the same speed behind it probably as far back as a plane's length or a little more. It looked like the smaller orb was following it or being “towed.” Again, no noise or blinking lights. There was no deviation in its brightness. I was able to grab a video on my phone but it only captured the larger or the two. It kept moving east at the same speed, and we watched as it continued out of view.

I had just backed our car into our parking spot. Although it was a crystal clear night, there was a lot of light pollution and only a few bright stars were visible. My husband got out of the car to walk to the mailboxes. I took the moment to look up at the sky and appreciate the view from our convertible before closing the roof. While looking up westward at the sky, I saw a very bright white ‘star’ move across the sky SE to S (about 5-6”) in my peripheral vision. There were no other visible stars in its vicinity, nor were there any aircraft. I slowly got out of the car without taking my eyes off the ‘star’ and turned to look up at it directly in its very high south position. It continued to move in random directions, not varying much between 160 degrees S and 150 degrees SE . I called for my husband to come over quickly, I pointed out the ‘star’ and asked him if he could see it moving, too. He said yes, and we stood watching the star dart around for about five minutes. Then we laid down on the sidewalk to stabilize ourselves to be sure it was the ‘star’ that was moving and not our bodies. We continued to watch it dart around for another 10 minutes or so. Although it did not waiver in its brightness until it seemed to move away, my husband also observed periodic white lights to the sides of the star. I did not see this detail. We didn’t try to take any photos or videos because we only had our iPhones with us. The movement seemed to start to slow down and the star seemed to move out further at 154 SE degrees towards the Aquila constellation. We got up and walked to our house and encountered our neighbors. We pointed out the moving star and they could both see it and its movements but it was getting harder for any of us to make it out. At 11:21 pm we went inside as the star was now too far away to discern from the light pollution. This morning, a knowledgeable friend did a quick check on a satellite tracking app for the evening of the 26th and the brightest thing during the time frame I cited was an ISS pass (a very bright magnitude -1.1), but that was at the opposite side of the sky and skirting the northern horizon from our area's vantage point. The only satellite transiting Aquila at the time was a GPS sat on a polar orbit, which are very faint.

Over Farm Island Lake, I witnessed a disk with lights hovering, seeming to stay in one place but over the course of the hour it moved slightly west. It had a slight bobbing motion and side to side zip, this was very slight. I thought it was an aircraft and couldn’t understand why a plane did not move ima trajectory in the sky. I watched it for what I believe was an hour and then it was gone. It had three lights in a line parallel to the ground. This is my first sighting of a craft that I couldn’t decipher.

Bentonville, AR
This was seen from at least a half mile away, while driving on interstate 540 from bellavista going into Bentonville. I pointed it to my kids thinking it was a blimp with massive lights on the bottom... strange though as the formed a perfect triangle. The lights on the bottom were set on straight rows at least 15 foot by 15 foot by 15 foot. These lights were all white, and on each row there were at least 5 or 6 lights that were clearly individual lights. My kid attempted pictures while I was driving but the first was black and second was blurry. I suspect possible military craft but doesn’t make sense due to perfect shape would not be condusive to long distance travel. As we approached closer the craft began to move after being completely stationary for 2 minutes and crossed the interstate and headed toward bella vista fairly quickly. Thinking military or private owned.. so large maybe someone built there own thing and was riding on it? We confined! on our trip toward Fayetteville. 4 witnesses... kids suggested a little haze when it moved. Definitely clear no haze when stationary.
