there was no sound at all. None, complete silence and anir extremely still no wind and the lights formation continued then stopped all of a sudden. I was getting dog in and they were gone when I came out. Then sky got very cloudy over that area exactly. Misidentifed searchlights (confirmed in video) [NUFORC annotation: Searchlight - Certain]

Small black objects traveling very slow around 26 miles Van Dyke expressway in Macomb county. No lights just a black object that move very slow was not a balloon was not a drone too high in altitude to be a drone and travel too far of a distance to be a drone I know the max the distance that a drones reception can reach which is usually 5 to 10 miles and this went further.

I was walking my dog outside the day after all that smoke from CA, the sun had set but I looked up in the cloudy sky (up into the south west sky) and saw what looked light a spotlight machine for an event, I was thinking what event would have that around here... 3 or 4 spotlights sort of like there was an event and fancy lights but no beams from the ground... and the pattern was weird, not consistent, 3/4 lights but then a 5th light showed up and there was no longer a pattern. This lasted maybe 5 minutes, I looked around my street to see if anyone was out so I could ask if they saw and what they thought. I thought maybe a plane at first but then saw an plane and it had flashing lights, was very clearly a plane, could hear it. These other light orbs I saw were almost like a spotlight on low clouds but it was within the clouds, orbish but I could only see the light oval. They all "flew" south after a few minutes. I googled, looked up UFO NJ the next day, I am 100% sure what I saw was not spotlights, not helicopter, not plane, not drone... no sounds. no flashing lights. It was a bunch of steady oval glowing things within clouds.

My sister who lives in Las Vegas took these photos from her bedroom window. She sees 4 lights hovering in the distance. Two moved left and disappeared but came back to their original position within several seconds. The orb on the right glowed yellow for a short time and then went white again. This spanned from around 9:00pm till10:30 pm.

Very obvious dark gray, best described as shipping container, gliding effortlessly across the pale blue evening sky. Flying around the height you would see a blimp fly. Couldn't hear any noise or see any lights. Just simply looked like a shipping container floating by. Witnessed by 3 people who all saw the exact same thing.

Parked my work truck near a truck mechanic shop I frequent to take my lunch. while on break, I was watching Boeing test fly 2 F/A-18s in a race track pattern to the East. 15 minutes into my break a pill shaped object shot down from above the circling jets. It was very shiny, the sun was reflecting off of it very intensly. It was suspended in the air for about a minute until it started to move a short distance from side to side very rapidly. By then I had gotten the attention of 3 mechanics I knew to ask if they saw what I did, which they did. They pulled out their phones and tried taking video but could only get still-photos of it. After another minute or so it stopped and remained completely still. The mechanics called over another 2 people to ask what they thought it was. The 2 jet fighters stopped making a race track pattern and came around together low and fast from the south towards the object. Before the jets made it to about 500 meters away from , the object shot like a bullet to the west parallel to the ground. It moved so quick that it would have looked like it just disappeared if we had not been watching it.

Big Flats, NY
I was looking towards the south from my kitchen window to take a picture when I saw one dark and oval shaped object move very quickly from west to east in a straight line. There seemed to be some kind of haze or something around the dark shaped oval. The sighting lasted only seconds as it disappeared behind trees and out of my sight line. It was very close to Elmira Regional Airport in Chemung County, New York State. This information was given to me by a family member who would rather not be named so I am reporting for them. It is my own contact information below.

Currently a fast moving black sphere above Reno. As I type this, a jet just started chasing it. I’ve never seen anything like this. It moved very quickly, and then started hovering for about 15 minutes while my friend and I watched it. I took Iphone video and photo but it’s pretty bad. This thing was definitely there, and it took off well before the jet could get close enough to engage.

See UFO floating towards the mountain from checkpoint facing west probably around 10. The UFO had a large golden yellow light on the side that was facing me. I could see what looked like more of the same lights on the other sides of it which makes me think it was a disk shape. About 15-20 minutes later there was a sort of sparkling orange haze that I could see just barely over the peak of the hill the whole time after I saw the UFO. Probably an hour later since seeing it in the sky on the way walking back down about a quarter mile from the start of the trail. I approached what I thought I was two people one was tall 8-10ft. One was sort of crouching and walking slowly with it. They had what looked like a circular black light about 5-8 inches inches in diameter. When we walked past them literally 2 feet away, I got a decent look at them. They both were wearing half blue half red tight rubber clothing with a silver trim. The clothes were shiny and looked tight to their skin. I looked at the smaller one that was sort of crouching down and it had thin arms and legs. You could tell it was probably also pretty tall. It had a large oval head that was placed on top the body at a 45 degree angle. The skin was glossy looking and it had an eye on the side of the head that I saw. Eye was maybe 3 or 4 inches long and squinting. When we walked past one of them made a murmur sound and it felt like they weren’t supposed to be seen. It was almost like we had caught them. Not wanting to look directly at them for more than a couple seconds I just kept walking past. Turned around a couple seconds later and they were out of sight.

I was at work it was 1249 am partially raining off and on. I saw the light orbs sitting stationary. It was two of them, stationary in the sky I saw this from a window at my work, I hurried outside to see more a total of 3 they were slowly rising then would slightly stop then fade out quickly only to have another appear below. They emitted a bright reddish color I took a few videos. And your thing says it exceeds the size I would happily email you the videos, I also posted it on my YouTube page if that’s easier I couldn't believe it and after the thing in Las Vegas I'm petrified.

Approx 10:15pm, spotted two circular bluish objects in the distance from my front door. About 30 minutes later I saw bluish/white fluorescent-like lights flashing outside of my west facing window. The flashing repeated for about 1 minute. During this time I also heard a low volume humming/whirring sound. As I ran to the front door, I noticed a few more flashes in my backyard and it abruptly stopped. I should also note that I found it strange that my computer battery had been drained despite being plugged in and I had to completely restart my system.

This is seen at nite and is rectangular with a huge white flashing light at each side. It vanished before you can blink. We also saw this on another nite approx 3weeks prior to the 6th of June 2023. The first time we saw it, it was hovering over a neighbor's house and the house was dwarfed in comparison. No sound just lights then gone . We saw it again tonight on June 6th approx 1030 pm while at our county fair when I was attempting to make a video of a ride. It was moving away very slowly and we just stood and watched the lights flashed slow and simultaneously. I tried to make a pic but it didn't show well on my phone .

My dad saw, whatever it was, first while he was walking by himself in a wooded area between my neighborhood and one close to mine where there is a pronounced dirt trail/track around an overgrown man-made pond. From his words, "I was walkin' around the pond a few minutes ago, and I seen this ball of light in the air flashing like it was taking pictures! I sat there and watched it turn around the end of the pond and keep going without making a sound. I ran to see where it went, and it was gone!" At the time of telling me this, I had just gotten home from a friend's house to find him in the truck with it cranked and ready to go. He was telling me that he was about to go get me so we could ride around to the other neighborhood, which was in the direction that he last saw it moving. As we got to the end of main road in the adjacent neighborhood, we both saw it. I immediately pulled my phone's camera up and out of the window of the passenger truck door and began recording. In the video, you can see a bright ball of light flashing that seems to move away from the camera, further into the treeline on the other side of the opening it was originally in. After thinking about all possible ways to debunk what we saw, I came to thinking I may have been up a little to long and was mistaking the blinking light of a cell tower that is normally seen right above the treeline in a couple directions at night. Even after rewatching the video, I convinced myself that the ball of light was motionless and it was just my shakiness moving it on-screen. The strange part about that being the reason would be that the cell tower has a red blinking light, and if that were the case, there would be no possible way I could the camera far enough to move the light behind the trees. I was sitting still in the passenger seat of a truck, stopped at the end of a road. Thinking back, I could also very vividly, with the naked eye, see the tops of the trees around the orb light up with every flash as it moved further into the trees. The picture shows the location and view as a reference. It was accidentally taken with the flash as I was in a rush to get the camera out to film a video.

I came around the bend on the highway to a short straight way, immediately notice a very bright point of light above the horizon. Immediately my brains thinks planet but am urgently proven wrong when i noticed it flashing. I am very aware of different phenomena that can occur, like illusions with our atmosphere, natural events, satellites, debris, aircraft. I am usually very good at interpreting what i observe and have gone 26 years without seeing something truly inexplainable. This object was bright when pulsing and well bright enough to be a planet. The uniformity of the pulsing light had perfect intervals of light and dim. (it never truly went full dark) There was aircraft in the field of view that were easily discernable travelling much more east to west or vice versa. I thought maybe i was lucky enough to observe an astrological event close enough to earth that the effects would be visible to the naked eye. Then i noticed it was moving. It seemed to be moving perfectly in alignment with true north. If this object was in our atmosphere, as i watched it travel further away before disappearing into the horizon, then the rate of speed would be totally feasible by current technologies of man, but in that same token, the light source couldnt have been very large if it was in our atmosphere when i saw it. This means the light source would have gotten visibly smaller as it travelled further away from me if it was indeed in our atmosphere. Instead the size of the light and its brightness when pulsing stayed completely consistent as it travelled further away, which could indicate it being much much further away. I began taking verbal notes on my phone as i kept driving and pulling over, over and over again, trying to document the event. Furthermore id like to add, this was a silver light, that of stars and planets. There was no trail. Imagine you pushed a light maybe 20 percent larger than that of jupiter observed from earths surface, and pushed it lower in the sky down closer to the horizon. and imagine not only was it pulsing full bright to very dim in even intervals, but it was also moving in a straight line to what seemed to be true north. The direction of true north seems like a contradiction to me believing the object to not have been in our atmosphere. I dont know if this is truly a discrepancy or can be explained. I am hesitant about even making this report given the current news and media surrounding David Grusch. The odds that i see a UFO or astrological event occur during this specific time makes it absolutely unbelievable and fills me with even more embarrassment and anxiety to talk to piers about this. It would have been embarrassing and hard to talk about regardless, then you mix in the current news media. Its a fucking nightmare, Im a mess, and i cant explain what I just saw. Im a man of science and this doesn’t make any sense in my current understanding of any scientific model.

I’ve seen the low one multiple times. It’s been in the night sky for a week. Tonight there are two more, I didn’t want to cause panic so I waited to see if the other one would go away. Instead more appeared. I’ve checked flight radar, and the planets in the sky and it’s neither. Nor is it moving as a plane would.

While star gazing on or around the 7th of June, my husband and myself witnessed multiple (what looked like stars/satellites) bright objects coming from behind the north star. At first we thought it had to be satellites since we see many sometime multiple at the same time but, the moving object(s) would come from behind the star, go to the right, get bright and then disappear. This happened at least 4 times. They all went right but, did not follow the same exact path. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

Williamson, NY
We observed multiple objects appearing to be crafts. It started out with the same brighter one from the previous nights sighting. I started to notice more of them, following each other. Noticed a faint red that looked identical to something being shot out of a ship. Observed at least 5 of them, right after another, swoop down into the middle of a cloud formation. The cloud coverage in that specific area seemed to be changing rather rapidly. The objects were moving side to side, in circles, zipping around and the cloud formation seemed to mimic what they were doing. Noticed these crafts all over the sky directly above my house and barn. One of them seemed to be moving especially fast and seemed to be a dark red. I was able to watch one of them go behind a cloud and, due to the aura of light around it, I was able to follow it through the cloud and watched it come out the other side and then disappear.

My daughter, husband, and my daughters boyfriend all walked out of Wawa when my daughter spotted a moving light aimlessly jolting around an LED streetlight. At first I thought it was a drone but my daughter corrected me and said drones wouldn’t move that fast nor that wrecklessly. So I started recording. [NUFORC annotation: Insect - Possible]

I just arrived home. I went on my back patio, 2nd floor apartment and I noticed two orbs just appear right in front of me just above house tops in a southeast direction. They were circling each other so I ran to get my high speed camera but it was dead, do I grabbed my cell and started recording. By the time I hit record, they stopped circling and flew extremely close together. Keep in mind the the location they were above was right above my medical clinic i work at. All residential, air craft do not fly that low with lights that bright. There was absolutely no sound. I can always hear planes much farther and helicopter blades are very easy for me; ex Military Veteran. I posted the video on Facebook and a old friend I use to work with responded on FB that she witnessed the same two lights.

I was traveling to Henderson Nevada with my daughter-in-law granddaughter and daughter while driving on the freeway. My daughter-in-law took a quick second look and said oh my god what is that? She asked my granddaughter do you see it? My granddaughter said yes what is that and my daughter as well saw it, they said it was black dark black shaped almost like a hook or a boot somewhere around on top just hovering like floating in the desert. I was traveling on the highway so I couldn’t take my eyes off the wheel, but all three of the girls saw it , we unfortunately did not get a photo. Has anyone else reported this ,what is it? It wasn’t anything that we would’ve seen here It was dark black. Round top slim neck then a little wider down and with a hook out. They described it as looking like a boot. In the middle of nowhere in the desert, with no town, we were already well beyond the airbase that I am aware of as we were headed towards the Las Vegas area, but we were still in the California side. I had my daughter draw a picture of what they saw, and my granddaughter and my daughter-in-law, and they all come up with the shape that’s kind of rounded on top comes down and almost looks like a boot or a hook, but solid black.

Panama City, FL
I was walking my dogs down our driveway, eastward, toward the bay, and I noticed two large, bright, colinear stars above the tree line. They were relatively close to each other, about the width of my palm held at arm's length, and to my eyes, they were identical in size and intensity. Then I realized the star on the left was actually moving. Slowly, it drifted down, diagonally to the left, and then it disappeared completely. I kept watching, trying to figure out if a cloud had obscured it, or if it had really vanished, noting that the star on the right remained entirely visible. The left star reappeared in different spot, slightly above and to the left of the last position. It did not move, but the light from it seemed to pulse/flicker. It stayed in that position for a few seconds, and then disappeared again. The star on the right remained static. In a few seconds, the left star reappeared, this time, much less bright and smaller, as if it had quickly traveled away from me to the East, it seemed. Its position had lowered to about the midpoint of the other two positions. I lost it soon after because it blended in with the other stars at that point. All of the different positions would fit behind a post-it note held at arm's length, so the movement was noticeable only if you were paying attention. I have no idea how close or far away it actually was. I immediately checked a Flight Radar app, and there was nothing even remotely nearby. We do have AF bases in the area, but I've never seen anything that could emulate a star. When I walked back up the driveway, I did notice a very low, very long, slender streak of cloud below the two stars, so it's possible that the pulsing/flickering was a result of a thin cloud passing in front of it. This cloud covered a much wider area than the distance between the two stars, so I feel like if it drifted across the left one, it would have also changed the appearance of the other. The star on the right never changed.
