Hampstead, MD
Driving home from work. 4:15pm. Clear blue sky. No clouds. See shining orb type light. Then starts to flicker. Thought just the sun reflecting off a plane. Then the light got bigger and started flickering. Then got even a bit larger, then reduced in size from the outside inward.Then vanished,nothing there. No plane to be seen. While trying to not run off the road, I looked where the light was, then it appeared. A rectangular shaped object, angled on the ends. Silver with both ends a gold color. Then in shock of what I am seeing, it then disappeared. But this is where it gets freaky. The object vanished not by flying away. This thing disappeared from one side to the other. While remaining stationary, it vanished from right to left. Like erasing a line on a chalk board with an eraser. This thing turned invisible while I was looking at it. Gave me the chills. I still look up in the sky now when driving on clear days. I would love to get a video of this. But this whole ordeal was only about 30 seconds or more, and I was driving. I now know, 100%, I saw an aircraft that is not from this planet. Have yet to tell anyone.

Mesa, AZ
My family and I were driving from St George, UT to Mesa, AZ. We were on the US-93 highway when I noticed a black rectangular object out of my front windshield flying over my car about 400-500 ft above it. It "flew" over my car and towards the right and I screamed out to my family to check out what it was. My two sons in the backseat saw it and tried to take a picture but they said it slightly expanded and then just disappeared. It made no noise as far as we know and had no markings or lights. There were no wings or propellers.

My supervisor is the one that saw the objects first than he told me to look up and see if I could describe what it was. So I grabbed my phone and started recording to zoom in. I did see the 3 objects moving in different patterns. When I went back to my video I noticed that in some parts my phone was recording the floor and I perfectly remember that my phone was not facing the floor at all but on the video it shows that I did. That was very scary and strange to me.

Checking horses before headed in for the night, my 9 year old son began screaming about lights in the sky that were blinking. I went out of the barn and looked up to see a VERY slow and low flying rectangle shaped object. The lights along the bottom were in a line, bright LED white, and illuminating the bottom. Bottom appeared to be dark gray. Husband, a Navy Vet, came out because of the yelling and saw the object as it crossed over our property to the adjacent property and passed by/over a radio tower and continued north east over I-69 and towards Angola and the Indiana/Ohio/Michigan border. 100% WAS NOT STARLINK, we've seen that several times and this was way way way lower, brighter, and had body to it. Husband estimates it was flying at maybe 20,000 feet. The dogs and horses have been EXTREMELY agitated since the sighting, especially the broodmare that has a foal at her side.

My roommate went out to walk his dog and called me on my phone to tell me to go outside and look at something in the sky. At first it looked like an asteroid was coming to hit earth then i realized it was going away from us. It looked like a planet like mars or jupiter but it was much bigger and traveling very fast. I could see airplanes in the night sky and compared to them it was traveling much faster. It had a huge perfectly square or rectangular trail behind it that was glowing orange with these weird 90 degree swirls inside the trail that were also glowing dark orange. I asked my roommate how long he was looking at it and he said a minute or two but it had started in a completely different area in the sky than it was when i was looking at it. He said it had changed directions and thats why he called me to come look at it. I tried looking up meteor showers or anything like that in my area and couldnt find anything. I am usually someone who wouldnt believe in UFOs or anything like that but this was just so strange. The size of the trail and how it was so perfectly straight and square with those shapes in the trail i just cant wrap my mind around. My roommate tried to record a video but it was too dark for his phone to capture anything. I am very interested in trying to find sky camera footage of it so I don’t go crazy.

I was driving home from being on the road for a few days for work. Me and my husband were in the truck together at the time. We turned down Brookfield Road and we were discussing a restaurant at the time. As we turned onto Wisconsin Avenue, and approached our home, near on 183rd I looked up and I see a colorful object far up in the sky. The second I saw the object in the sky I said to myself that it didn't look like anything I had ever seen. It was up very far but I still could see it clearly. I then asked my husband "what am I looking at"? He looked at me and saw me looking up and then he nudged his glasses to his nose and said, "a UFO"! He had a look of shock on his face. I then had a small panic. I said pull over, park, get out of the road. Because there was a vehicle right behind us. While I looked in the side view mirror and told him to get out of the road and then look back up it went up and disappeared. My husband then parked and we walked back to the corner or the parking lot and it was totally gone. The object had lots colors on it and it was circular in shape, it had also had headlights pointing to the northwest of where I seen it at. It was surrounded with clouds. I came into the house and told my family and called the police several times. The dispatcher laughed at me and said an officer would call me. I had missed calls from him so i called to report it again. He then called me and when i told him he said OK thanks for calling us and hung up. I felt dumb, but I still had to report it. The times I called the police were, : 06-13-23 10:24p.m. 06-13-23 10:38p.m. 06-13-23 10:39p.m. I received the call back from the officer at 10:48 p.m. Thank you

The object moved positions in the sky and seemed to change shape. We took photos with a cell phone with Space Zoom. It was really bright and seemed to emit an aura.

I live on the 12th floor of an apartment building in Brooklyn. I saw something that I initially thought was a balloon and captured it on video. It was a metallic, reflective, dark grey tic tac shaped object about 5 feet long and approximately 1000-2000 feet away. I looked away for 5-10 seconds and it was gone. It would have to have moved 100s of miles per hour to disappear from my field of view in the time that I looked away. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Probable]

I was taking my dog for his nightly walk when I saw a plane. The plane still had its landing lights on, and looked kind of cool in the night sky. While watching it I saw what I originally thought was stars in a perfect triangle formation. The plane was starting to go behind some trees so I turned my attention back to what I thought was stars. As I was watching I noticed that they were actually moving in a northern direction. The most northern one then seemed to speed up and split from the other two. It quickly disappeared. As I focused on the other two, the one towards the east shot off in that direction, and the final one appeared to fade out. They appeared to be much higher than the plane, and spread out a great distance. While it's likely just a strange coincidence, I had turned off my headlamp to watch the plane. After the plane and objects left I went to turn my headlamp back on and the batteries were dead.

While walking dog for nightly constitutional was headed home looked up and observed a very bright white broken double line moving at an extremely high speed from west to east in the sky. If not for the illumination I would say the object resembled a con trail from a jet aircraft. In the time it took me to enter the house scream at my wife to come look at it and go back outside it was already reaching the east horizon line. The object must have been very large aand it was at about 20 to 30 thousand feet in the air about the same height as as normal flight pattern for commercial aircraft. No engine noise or sonic boom was heard. Never seen anything fly that fast and it was gone before i could even get my phone to try to photograph it. The speed had to be incredible due to the distance that was covered in such a short period of time. Quite exciting only wish I could have got a photo for you. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

June 12, 2023 from about 10:42 pm to about 10:44 pm, I was outside my house burning trash, I saw a horizontal row of about 10 white lights North West of my position. The lights appeared to be about 200 feet in the air, then lower as it approached, then higher as it moved away. It appeared to be about 100 feet wide. I did not count the lights because I quickly went to my house to get a video camera to verify the object. All of the lights were evenly spaced except the lights at each end were spaced slightly further apart than the rest of the lights. The row of lights was moving South towards me and appeared to grow larger and move lower as it approached. I retrieved my video camera from the house and as I returned outside with my video camera the lights moved higher and towards the East. As I pointed the video camera toward the lights, the lights dimmed as it was moving away from me. I was unsuccessful at obtaining video. The lights were mostly horizontal but did change orientation tilting slightly as it moved. The lights moved together and spacing of the lights did not change as it moved, except it appeared larger as it approached and then smaller as it moved away. There was no noticeable sound from the lights. This represents the approximate spacing of the lights: * * * * * * * * * * * [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

We saw what we first thought was a jet with a glowing contrail. Contrail got brighter so not a contrail. Then i thought space debris. But everything maintained form. Had twin rows of bright lights with duller fuzzy light in between. As it passed overhead it had a fuzzy form to it. Do not have a clue on speed and size since do know altitude. But carrier size and jet speed would be smallest and slowest

It lasted almost 2 minutes. It was silent. It was moving very slowly. I immediately called channel 4 News in Washington DC they said they had another report of the same. I then contacted Loudoun county non-emergency and they told me to contact the FAA. I tried contacting the FAA to no avail. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

1st I noticed a strange sound. Almost light a hum that seemed to come from the ground. I live near an airstrip so I am familiar with plane and chopper sounds. This was neither. You can also tell when its coming from above. I did not see the craft until it was above me. It was just above the trees and it had 2 large white lights, somewhat close together on the underside. One blinking and 1 steady. They were the only ones. I tried to see the shape but even though it was a clear night, it was hard to tell. When the light blinked it looked fuzzy, like the reflection from a cloud. Kinda pearly color. From the flashing I would estimate 25-30 ft across but couldn't see the edges to be sure. The other thing that was so odd was that it was moving slow... too slow for a plane. My dog looked at it as well. I watched it as it kept moving towards the olympic mountains, trying to come up with a logical explanation . I was never afraid but can't sleep and get it out of my mind. My parents and I saw 3 ufos about 55 yrs ago as well. Investigator can contact me if they want but not necessary.

Joshua Tree, CA
UAP approached our camp sight, coming up over the 40ft barrier of rocks; it seem to hover 20 plus ft above rocks for a 30 seconds or so, seeming to rotate or change direction, then is shot off faster then any known military aircraft. It had rectanglular segments that seem to create a belt around the craft of low glow white or gray lights, and two more distinct lights (that seemed to be headlights). The UAP was silent, and seemed to create a noise reaction because all the insects went silent during the sighting and then went back to normal as soon as UAP zipped off. The UAP appeared to be gray in color and devoid of any mechanical sound or sound at all.

My spouse and I saw a linear pattern of lights moving slowly over Bellingham, WA for about 30 seconds. It was a large structure and the lights appeared to be almost like large bay windows with light shining out. Honestly, it reminded me of a fleet ship from Star Wars as odd as that sounds.

I have a lot of anomalous activity on my security camera I have set up facing west on my back patio. I decided to view it a little after 10:00 PM MST. I noticed this long cylindrical object and hit record. It is traveling from the west very slowly toward the east. I was a bit shocked at what I was seeing so I did not have the presence of mind to switch the night vision off to see if it was visible without it. I did capture a still photo. In Night Vision the object seemed to be illuminated the entire length. As it was about to exit the frame a small blinking light (a small plane probably) passed it going the opposite direction. It can be seen in the video. A few insects and orbs are flying around ( there are a lot of orbs usually but we haven't had swarms of insects, just a few) There of course are cars causing some lens flares but this is not what I an reporting, I am aware of these types of camera anomalies. I was in my gown and in bed so I did not get up and run outside I just watched it on my WYZE phone app. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

Me and someone else had been at our campsite in Canyonlands for a couple of hours and it had been dark for around one hour. We were taking pictures of the stars (with all headlamps and flashlights out) around 10 feet from our tent. We both saw a bright orange light through thin tree branches, we looked at it for a few seconds and decided to get a better look because we were both intrigued. We moved around the tree and it was gone. We went back to the same spot we saw it but it was gone. The light from our point of view was a half inch in diameter but we had no idea how far away it was. We went to bed. The next morning, we tried to find where it came from. Behind our campsite (where the light came from) was a small canyon that was impassable due to giant rocks. Our best bet on where the light came from was whether it was 15 or so feet from us or a couple of miles or more on top of a rock formation around a hundred feet tall, definitely not possible for a human to get to or probably all ground animals. It was at Chesler Park in Canyonlands.

Definitely not a Starlink satellite. This object was similar to a light bar the size of a football field and width was slender. Similar to a huge jeep/truck light bar or measuring ruler with bright lights that looked like perfect squares put together. Lights were not separated like Starlink. While camping at Pinetop, Arizona near Show Low at the Blue Ridge Trailhead at approximately 9:30 p.m. on 06/12/23, this craft moved from west to east at approximately 3000 feet above the ground and faded away after 2 minutes of viewing it. No sound at all.
