I was sitting up in bed at 12:25am on February 23rd, 2023. The room was dark but I was playing a word game on my phone on “night mode”. I can see out one of the bathroom windows from where I was sitting. I later used a compass and it was in the direction of 51°, 30°13'47" N 97°27'30" W. We live in the country and the skies are dark. I could see what I thought was an unusually bright white star hanging in the sky. I looked up from my game a couple times just to see if it was maybe a helicopter (they had been in the area during the day to repair high power electrical lines). I remember thinking that was odd and I wondered if this was a plane or helicopter, then why were there no flashing lights? Still sitting in bed, I watched it to see if it moved. It seemed to move ever so slightly toward the NW. Realizing this was “different” (we’ve lived on the property for almost 40 years, and I’ve looked out this window in this same position in bed for over 20 years) I got up and grabbed my glasses and phone. I went into the bathroom and the automatic nightlight came on making it harder to see out of the window. I waited for about 30 seconds for the nightlight to go off and I could see the light was still hanging in the air. With my glasses on I could make out a round light. At least the impression it gave was like it had roundness to it which made me think at the time there was more than one light coming from it. I could not see any clear details - just a light that seemed quite a distance away but not higher than plane. I held my phone up to video the light through the window but the movement caused the nightlight to turn on again causing a reflection too bright to video through. About the same time the nightlight came back on, the light began moving straight ahead at a moderate speed to the NW. I watched it for a few seconds before our house roofline obstructed my view. The bathroom window was open but our central AC unit was running making it impossible to hear any other sounds. Within about 30 seconds of the light moving out of sight, I went out our front door which faces to the NW but I could not see the light nor did I hear anything now that I was away from the AC unit. I immediately made notes on my phone calendar to remember the date and time. (I tried to submit this earlier today but it didn't appear to go through.) You can contact me through my email if needed. Thanks.

As I was looking at the stars, three triangular lights passed quickly. It flew into the northern sky and was a triangular light seen in UFO sightings. The light didn't blink.

Around 11:10pm I saw a bright, one orb-like white light in the sky. First thinking it was a plane, but it didn’t move in just a straight line. The orb made various movements (forwards, backwards, circles, diagonal) in the sky and left a trail of light behind it. The brightness of the object faded in and out randomly/inconsistently. The brightness of this orb-like object was brighter than the stars surrounding it. After five or ten minutes, it completely vanished as though someone had turned off a light-switch.

My roommate and I were outside doing chores. She stayed by the burn pile while I went to my work shed maybe 10 yards away? I heard her yell my name and tell me to “come over here” When I got close, she pointed to the sky. I turned to look and saw three, very bright & large, ‘orbs’ in the sky. They stayed stationary and kept their circular shape as they cycled through colors. They were lined up at an angle. The middle one was slightly above and to the right of the bottom one, and the top one was slightly above and to the right of the middle one. * * * I had seen objects in the area many years ago and watched in anticipation to see if they would do the same as the ones before. The top one started fading away and I realized my phone was in the shed. I ran to get it and when I came out, the bottom one was all that was left and had started fading but, I got a short video of it. I’m in an extremely small farming community and the night sky is much clearer than in the city. My background: 20+ years in college for ‘Early Childhood’ and working with/teaching young children. I ‘retired’ from that about 6 or 7 years ago( at about 40 yrs of age) to start a business (resale shop), and I now own/operate another store. I had about 3-4 beers while I was enjoying the beautiful day and had been working in the yard. My roommate has had some mental health issues in the past (due to drug addicted parents) in the form of suicidal tendencies. But, she is a strong, intelligent, and a focused small business owner and does not cause drama or worry for me. (I’ve had my share of ‘crazies’ here and had watched her for over a year before I reached out to help and allow her to move in) She had been working at my store for me and had only one or two beers when the incident occurred. You may contact me if you need to.

There was a triangle object that appeared over the canyon wall and was visible for a couple of minutes. There were bright white lights on each of the corners. The object was at a low altitude and did not make any noise. It then took off straight up and was gone within seconds.

Well, traveling northbound on Lake Forest heading towards El Dorado Parkway. I observed a cigar shaped object in the sky that was illuminated. It was high on the horizon, and it suddenly descended rapidly. I continue to observe it until Lake Forest and Meadowview Road, and it was suddenly surrounded by anywhere between 6 to 8 helicopters. My daughter was also with me and observed this and we both looked at each other and said what the heck was that. Then went below the horizon. It was no longer observable, but the helicopters were clearly visible in the sky.

Horizon City, TX
This report is on behalf of my elderly mother who lives in Horizon, Texas in El Paso County. After seeing the news yesterday about the spy balloon, she stated she had just seen a similar balloon on about Friday around 2 am, through her bedroom window. It was a circular white object right below the moon a little smaller than the moon. It did not appear to move or flash any light. Eventually she went back to bed and it was still there while she was awake. Reason for this report is concern over possible second spy balloon and nearby Ft. Bliss Military Base.

The game camera on a deer feeder captured a potential plasma ball. The game camera is programmed to take a picture about every five minutes. The conditions were foggy. The feeder and various cameras have operated at this location for seven years, and this has never been recorded before. Regular type photo included for perspective.

I was on my front porch looking north and all of a sudden I seen a V-shaped formation with five hazy white lights appearing out of nowhere traveling across from east to west for about five seconds and then disappeared. And it was lower than helicopters And airplanes flying around town. as it passed I heard no noise coming from that direction, it was silent, the lights were a lot larger than the stars , almost like street lights in the sky. And there were no clouds. My block is pretty well lit and they stood out fairly well enough for me to stop and stare. The lights weren’t bright white but almost a soft hazy white. I called the hotline number and they told me to fill this out.

Around 10 P.M., we drove to a small lakeside park - by Stillhouse Hollow Lake, in the foothills- just adjacent to the 3481 Stillhouse Lake Bridge. After approximately an hour, we decided to call it a night - and head back to my place. On the drive south - I looked out of the passenger window (facing west) and commented that a nearby 'cloud' was oddly delta-shaped. After a few minutes, we decided to pull over to the shoulder of the road and take a better look. At 11 p.m., the driver, Ryan Keaton, jumped out of the truck to snap a few pictures with his cellphone. We could not believe what was photographed. Afterward, we continued to drive back home, I looked in the rearview mirror - and at first, thought the hills were on fire. After closer inspection, I realized that the 'fire' was up in the sky above the mountains, and in the shape of a giant triangle. It was quickly descending. Ryan then saw it too. We then turned the truck around - hoping to find a good place to snap more images. Unfortunately, the thing fell below the hills - and we didn't see it again. But luckily - we did have the first sighting images. They are posted in chronological order. They are not as dramatic as what we saw afterward, but please have a look and them. It has now been more than an hour since the event, and my heart is still pounding. This object was higher up than it appears and was monstrous in size.

At approximately 2:10AM CST +/- 5 minutes, 3 of us individuals were standing outside a venue at 3520 Greenville Ave, Dallas, TX were making casual conversation as we all have mutual friends and acquaintances, just finished watching a live music event (ended 30 minutes prior), one of us was the event manager, another was friends with the manager of the band, and I, friends with the singer of the band. The technical details behind the sighting: 0 degrees being the horizon, and directly above us being 90 degrees, a ball orb about 1.5 miles up, we all caught the orb in each of the corner of our eyes when the object was about 85 degrees above us from true north traveling from east to west, moving directly in the direction towards Dallas Love Field Airport. We looked up by the time the object was 70 degrees above the horizon, and saw the object continue moving until it reached approximately 50 degrees above the horizon, maintaining the same trajectory, before we lost visual sight of the orb as it literally vanished, it was there one millisecond, the next millisecond it was gone. From the point of where the object was 85 degrees above us relative to our positioning. Witness 1 female was facing true north, witness 2 male, was facing true north, myself (witness 3 male) was facing directly west. From the point at which we all generally caught the object in the corner of our eyes to the point at which we all turned our heads, eyes locked onto the object, The first witness, female, immediately said "Oh my god, did we just see a shooting star?!" The second witness, male, the event manager, said "That was an orb! Guys, was that a UAP?!" Me, third witness, male, said "Shooting stars that low in our atmosphere would have had a trail of some sort" My personal supporting background information pertaining to the following data afterwords: I was 1 page away from becoming an eagle scout in 2011, which is recognized by the military as a monumental achievement, I provided UHF LOS and SATCOM, HF BLOS (beyond line of sight), VHF LOS, SHF SATCOM, and EHF SATCOM communications for the CG-60 USS Normandy for 4 years as we fulfilled the role of "Air Defense Commander" (2015 USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group 12, I was part of the TR strike group work up group sail in August 2014, group sail deployment in January/February 2015, to the full March-December 2015 deployment), where I provided direct communications support for FA-18's for missions in the middle east. I am familiar with FA-18 and F-16 sound, viewing angle adjacent to relative distance, body shape at specific distances, and appearance at night. I lived at CID unit Corry Station where I watched NAS Pensacola "Blue Angels" practice almost every day for 8 months, and I lived directly behind Naval Station Norfolk's airfield on Granby Street where I watched various military aircraft fly over me for an entire year when I was not on the ship. I have only seen objects travel at that speed or greater when witnessing UAP in the Santa Rosa, CA area, when UAP are doing the same action, shooting across the sky in the atmosphere, no military aircraft or asset i.e. tomahawk missile has been witnessed by me that can travel at speeds even close to this orbs speed. At this time, I am a full time employee of a software company doing IT related work as well as full time student registered at Lone Star College System pursuing a B.S. in Physics. Math and science facts about the observation: - The color of the visible light that radiated from the orb was an off white, and was an almost identical color compared to the most common and standard off-white, Christmas tree light toned color. - The orb was objectively a perfect sphere to all 3 of us. - The visible light radiating from the orb did not diffract or reflect around gas at any point within the atmosphere while in our sight, NOT creating any sort of artifact (such as lunar halos etc) NOR did the light diffract or reflect against clouds at any point within the atmosphere. - Referencing time, from the point at which the object was first seen in the corner of my eye when the object was above me 85 degrees above the horizon, to the point at which it disappeared from my viewing 50 degrees above the horizon when it disappeared, the duration was about ~1.8 seconds (would have disappeared at "mississi" when counting "One Mississippi, Two Mississippi" etc. - NO sonic boom - The object was traveling faster than a Block II/III/V tomahawk missile by several orders of magnitude, no manned aircraft could have traveled at that speed, the speed equivalency is an FA18 conducting a fly at a distance of 200 feet from the viewer. - There was NO haze or aura or effect left in the atmosphere from the object, there was no trail left by the object, there were no FAA regulated lights (or any other lights) - The object SHOULD have been detected by FAA radar from the Dallas Love Air Field as it practically flew literally over the airfield, the point at which the UAP disappeared at the blink of an eye would have been as it approached the airspace that is directly above the air field.

Ranch S/W of Tilden, TX, TX
I am a retired Army LTC and was a military aviator with 23 years of flying experience. On January 14, 2023 at approximately 7:30 PM, I observed either 2 or 3 erratically moving green lights approximately 75 degrees above the horizon in a South Easterly direction from the given coordinates. The small green lights were circling and darting about each other with the lights turning off and then on in different locations. These lights were near a very bright star in that SE location. I quit observing after about 15 minutes as I had to leave the sight. Two acquaintances were with me and they both observed the same thing. One is a practicing attorney and the other is a retired school teacher. Both are well respected in their community.

Was watching the news in my living on the second level of my home. It had just gotten dark and saw a really bright light encircled with orange exterior. It looked like a ball of fire and it had a long tail passing right outside my window. The sighting was about 25 feet from where I was sitting so very close to my house right above my garden. There was no noise. I rushed outside to see where it went and there was no trace.

Not the 1st time. He travels north, while he is east of me. Once he gets behind my neighbors chimney, I get up and look around it, but it's gone every time. I don't know what the flight path is after that. On the 6th of January I was outside in the backyard smoking a cigarette and he showed up again. This time it didn't seem like he had control. Someone was entering in random coordinates. The first image of (what looks like) the air turning green and dissipating around it is what it looks like moving. The second image is when it's not moving afterward while the rest of his friends showed up. I don't know how many times I've seen him, but I saw him again sometime after 6 am on the 19th of October which is about when I first started noticing him last year for the first time. This time he was headed north again, but this time he slowly vanished into the black morning sky. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Certain]

On January 4th at 9:19 I was outside smoking a cigarette. I noticed a large chevron shape hovering in one spot. It had lights running along the outer edge and at times appeared to move from left to right. I see low flying air craft all the time and have never seen something so large at this elevation. The object dropped lower and I went to my back yard to film some more and by the time I got there it was gone. I took the footage and zoomed in and you can tell there’s a cylindrical vase like structure sitting inside the chevron shape with a hole in the center. The object at time can be seen emitting a tail from the center at times in the video and the lights appear to also pulse brighter and softer at times. I have more footage if interested.

We were watching a huge bright white light on her ring in her car it was a different UFO huge bright white and moved by just suddenly being in a different spot when we saw this fly at us at 50mph in the straights line very steadily. You have to slow it down to really see that it’s not a balloon or Chinese lantern, it was way to big and moving on its own way to fast. There was NO wind what so ever and no explanation as to what that was and how it was moving so fast I could barely catch it as it passed over us it was moving so fast.

Houston, TX
I witnessed two groups of two objects over the course of about three minutes. All I could see of each was an elongated amber light. I could not see any structure beyond the lights. They were steadily illuminated and moving at about the apparent speed and apparent distance of helicopters but there were no anticollision or navigation lights and there was no traffic on ADS-B services at the time. I could not hear any sound. They were traveling on more or less parallel tracks in approximately a NNW direction. There was no twinkling so I presume the objects were at no great distance. I have seen Starlink constellations and this was not that. I have additional photos with angle measurements that I don’t want public since they’re stamped with coordinates.
