Video was taken from an airplane flying east to west over western Us between Minnesota and San Diego. I believe the perspective of the photo is to the south. The craft appeared to have whit and amber lights. Port/starboard navigational lights were not observed by me. Possibly reflections off the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility [NUFORC annotation: Reflection - Probable]

Palm Springs, CA
It was a stationary orb that turned into a bright 2-3 second flash followed by a electro mechanical like sound the sound lasted for about 2 1/2 seconds. I had a full view of the sky and it lit up a decent size portion of the sky. Part of the mountains lit up from the flash too. All of us (11 or 12 witnesses) were like what the hell was that and began looking online for a explanation. It happened so fast none of us had our phones out to record it. That sound is something i cannot get out of my head now, I've never heard anything like it in my life. We started to here a couple helicopters 3 to be exact shortly after the event.

I looked over and saw the object floating slowly to my right. I recorded the object and it left. Typically I would assume this is a plane or a helicopter. But for the object to be so close to the ground and not make any sound was what changed my mind. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

It was night time when I noticed a light moving across the sky. It almost looked like a star but it appeared suddenly and moved with quick speed. I continued to stare at this moving star, then it soon turned into two circular lights that moved across the sky in sync really fast. These two lights zipped through the sky and changed direction in an abnormal way, then continued in a straight direction. Both of the circular lights soon disappeared. This happened within about 3-4 seconds.

I stepped outside and was transfixed by a huge, glittering “disco ball” with occasional elongation which didn’t seem to traverse the sky (yet became more distanced after I went to get my phone). At first it looked like it had airplane wings, but ones which were not fashioned typically. I asked myself if it was a drone, balloon, or satellite, but it simply looked different from anything I’ve ever seen. By the time I retrieved my phone inside, I couldn’t see the wings, or elongation, just the ball of bright silver sparkles. I took this from a 1:33 minute video, but it was within my sight for at least 15 or 20 minutes. I hope someone can tell me what it was. Thank you. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

I noticed as I stared at the night sky a strange object began to move and I thought huh, cloud is moving mighty fast, yet upon looking directly at the object made no mistake in identifying this as Extraterrestrials. The ship was massive it had numerous white lights across the bottom that were so dim they were hardly noticeable against the night sky. This object continued to fly away from my position from where I originally noticed it from almost directly overhead but must have been out of our atmosphere to be so large and travelling without sound I suspected it was orbiting earth. I have never seen anything that could fly of that size it was breathtaking and stunning to have actually witnessed Extraterrestrial presence. This is no hoax or joke, I always knew they were out there. Never in my life would I expect to see a UFO and of such size. The lights of this object were lined across the bottom of the ship with a perfect triangular shape and I just stood and stared in amazement as I watched the most amazing thing I had ever witnessed. Life, from another planet.

We were stargazing and I was staring at this supposed plane because it was moving side to side and at speeds unlike the rest of the planes in the sky, until eventually this ‘plane’ just stopped moving and began hovering in the middle of the sky. Then the star like object next to it began to move closer to it and then after a moment the 2 UFOs separated moving unilaterally from each other and there they stayed hovering above the city of Glendale Az.

During sunset the metallic orb/sphere moved very smooth throughout the air and slowly went higher in the air then disappeared in the clouds. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

While hanging out at my friend's apartment, myself a veteran, and one friend, a veteran pilot, saw an object in the sky. Initially they thought it was Venus. Though, I noticed it moving initially. It was moving too slow to be the space station, but I looked up its position to be sure. The object at our best guess was 60k+ feet altitude and took approximately 30 minutes to travel roughly 45 degrees. It moved from the west to the east in a slightly southerly trajectory advancing roughly 10 degrees. When we first saw it, it was spherical and bright. When it got more directly overhead it changed in size looking like its distance from us changed. It became significantly more cigar shaped, and at times brighter and less luminous. It looked like it doubled in size and then shrank, as well as going from white to gray / difficult to see against the sky. I took pictures with my phone and video, but they did not come out well.

Driving east toward n dixie I saw an almost stationary large gray windowless plane with no visible engines or propellers almost stationary and low altitude. I photographed it on my iPhone through my car window but in the photo the plane is missing. I tried a second time and the second photo also captures the sky where I saw the plane but it is not visible. I lost sight of the plane while passing a building and then it was gone. I consider myself a skeptic. But I saw an object that I cannot explain.

I saw a green orb go past my window at a very fast speed and totally quiet and very bright I jumped up to look at it and it was just gone I got really freaked out checked the internet for meteor and green lights and nothing popped up but it was a shooting star the way it was moving was not a meteor it looked like it was depending at a very shallow angle but going faster then any airliner

We we're sitting by the lake just looking at satellites and stars and saw what appeared to be a rectangular shaped light just appear and it would go off and on at different rates of speed and it would move up and down and then suddenly it just disappeared. It could have been anything I don't know but it was definitely unidentifiable and we have no idea what it was.

The object was quite high, circular, and white. It was not a planet, as it visibly moved as I watched it. It also made several maneuvers in a zig-zag way and changed direction very quickly, faster than an object of any significant mass.

I saw these two orbs floating and seemingly moving in coordination. Eventually one began moving at a different trajectory. They just didn’t look like anything I’d ever seen before. I have a video that shows them pretty well if you want it

Riverview, FL
I was driving north on the main road in my town and I observed what looked like a fireball the size of a cantaloupe hovering above the sidewalk about 30 feet up. As I was approaching it, it quickly shot up into the sky while also moving east. Luckily, I was able to catch a pretty close glimpse of it before it ascended. I observed a bright orange ball of flames. The center of it looked dense and its shape was semi-spherical. There were what looked like ethereal artifacts surrounding it, moving similarly to fire but it clearly was not flames. Eventually, the object just faded off into the distance.

Every night for the past two months my family and I witness triangular shaped objects in the sky and also orbs that flash. The triangular shaped objects seem to move around in the sky with invisibility but you can still make them out. The objects seem to follow us around the yard.

Wheat Ridge, CO
Walking south easterly along a gravel path in Crown Hill Park. 90+ degrees, not a lot of people in the park and none in that area at the time. Orb approached flying north, probably about 5 degrees out of dead on toward me, going slightly toward my left. I stopped walking to watch it. It was moving much faster than planes or helicopters normally seen in the area. While it was moving too fast to be at high altitude, it was absolutely silent. Seemed like at most 1000 feet up. Plainly visible as a reflective orb. Kept waiting for more details to emerge as it neared me. Then it turned in an arc toward the west, then southwest. It came pretty close, I am sure it was over the park, but it never made a sound and never changed it's shape. No details ever emerged to indicate it was anything other than an orb. Looked metallic due to the reflectivity. As it was flying away I started walking again -- glanced toward the path and when I looked back the sky was clear, the orb was gone which I thought was jarring since it would have had to significantly alter its speed to be gone that quickly. About 40 minutes later a plane flew over that I thought might be around the same altitude. The plane was a twin engine fixed wing, very loud of course and very clearly a plane and very much slower than the orb. If the plane and the earlier orb were about the same height, the the diameter of the orb would be about the size of the plane's cockpit, maybe 10-12 feet.

Was seen right below the ceiling during an approaching thunderstorm. I captured it on my drone footage. Gold in color, oval shaped with a ledge around it. Took off at a speed too fast to see but can see it with the video slowed down. Only one observed and I’ve never seen anything like it before.

Well all I have to say is this isn’t an ordinary flying object encounter I believe this was an OBE with highly intelligent life form I’ve been experiencing my entire life it started when I was a child I had an OBE I use to observe myself sleeping being young I had no knowledge of what was going on at that time due to my parents education was less than high school so I couldn’t talk to them about what I was experiencing but with this platform I can now talk about my experiences, it only occurs at night when I’m sleeping and I know when this event is about to happen my brain receives some kind of signal that puts me in a different state of being just like with that organic oblong being I could see through the object as it approach me while sleep in my bed the strange thing is my wife is in the bed with and somehow it only isolated me for the contact as this oblong organic object approach me I didn’t fear it and I could touch it, it was soft and rubbery in touch and I could breathe in it as it consumed my entire body but could not see anything but I could communicated with it in English it gave me a name but could not remember ( I know this sound like it’s out of a movie ) but this is for real I don’t speak on it fear of being called crazy and I would like to say there is some sort of fascination for asshole probing its as if their putting something in me and even after the procedure I mean days later I can still feel something inside of my rectum just wanted to let you’ll there is more to this than UFO’s thanks for an outlet.

I was carefully walking the railroad tracks back home 45 minutes to an hour after sunset, and I walked into what I just assumed was a number of lightning bugs, like I said, I was watching where I was stepping I wasn't necessarily looking up and focusing until I was in the middle of it, and I Saul along the other side of the railroad track a bobbing light that was much tighter, and it's a luminescence it almost looks like a lackadaisical walker with a flashlight on the other side of the tracks. I know I'm not supposed to be on the railroad tracks at all so I quickly jumped off and kind of crouch in the longer grass and that's when it made a beeline directly at me and when it came of the tracks it hugged the ground, almost like it was making a point to traverse each track on its own. It stopped about 3-5 feet from my face and we just stared at each other for what felt like 60 seconds. Then it turned, got up on the track set i had been walking and shot due west. I stayed crouched for maybe 3 minutes or less terrified but eventually i talk to myself into getting back up on the tracks and walking thinking to myself. What am I gonna do? I got a knife on me versus is it gonna take me to go to take me so I'm just gonna walk this I walked directly at it, and it stayed a distance away. I walked through what had to of been 100 are over that flashing orbs on each side of me and I eventually I got off the track as soon as I could that fertilizer plant and that's kind of what I was planning on doing to kind of end my walk as I sing, and this one fertilizer barn has great acoustics, so I was like I think most people probably would I was talking to myself. I don't remember exactly what I was saying at first, but I do remember specifically saying "they're not going to stop me from singing" and that's when the sliding door shook in response to what I was saying, like something was shaking it from behind the door deliberately, and then I swore several times. I don't know why at that point I was not white as a ghost, but then responded to me again, my shaking the door and nobody was there. It was just me I didn't take me very long to get back home we live not even a 10th of a mile from the fertilizer plant and I didn't know what to do. I don't have anybody to tell so I just video document in my account of what happened and I immediately just uploaded it. I didn't edit it or anything I've since taken that down or hit it. I've made it private because it's freaks people out. I actually had a girl that I was talking to just stop talking to me because of it, but that Upload didn't go up until two in the morning roughly, and i don't know what happened to that time.
