Noticed a light high in the night sky while taking out the trash. No sound or navigation or collision lights emanating from the object. The night sky was over cast and the object was below the over cast. It moved very slowly and finally disappeared in the over cast. I label this as a UFO and this is a first for me.

Panama City Beach, FL
On the beach a few minutes after 10 pm, craft became visible but obscured by cloud cover directly overhead. After approximately one minute, craft became fully visible for a full minute, moving very slowly and silently, before vanishing in the clouds. Way too large to be a drone. My background is in higher education, Ph.D.. Otherworldly - unlike anything I have seen in my fifty years of life.

At first I was looking at the moon and how bright it was during the day, but when it would come in close range to the sun the sun would get very very bright and as I kept watching it the sun was fixing to cover the moon again same thing the sun appeared much brighter then as it passed there was clouds and out of the clouds came four objects flying around it .

In a clear blue morning sky. The oval white object was as high/higher in the sky than an airliner would fly. The UFO was moving fast with no heat trail. A military aircraft was following it. The most notable thing to me was the UFO did not have a heat trail. I was able to get a photo of the UFO but I did not get the military aircraft in the photo. When you zoom in on the UFO in my photo it seems to have a darker field surrounding it.

Looked in the sky and noticed an object in the sky at a very high altitude heading North and it looked on fire. As if it were coming into the atmosphere. The object slowly turned East and seemed to hoover for around 10 minutes (video included) . The slowly a continued east, but not with the horizon but continued gaining altitude until out of sight.

I described my possible ufo experience to my friend and as i was explaining it, it happened again but this time I kept watching it. Until it just instantly disappeared, exactly like I predicted because of what happened with the last possible UFO. But this time i watched completely and had a witness watching too.

3 yellowish red lights in a straight formation (not glowing, but “breathing” appearance) initially moved slowly, much lower than planes. Changed direction abruptly, formation shifted slightly to a V-type shape and moved in a straight line notably in front of clouds. Slowly moved again and then instantaneously (at a visually disorienting speed) departed south/south east. Neither me or my spouse heard anything while this was happening.

My mom and I were out in her deck just sky watching and about 25 to 35 lights evenly spaced apart moving diagonally in a straight line together. Some lights were brighter than others, randomly fading in and out and then it just disappeared. It seemed really close, a lot closer than the stars. Then, after they were gone, random blinking lights in various parts of sky for about a minute after. It was similar looking to the starlink [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

Pine Bluff, AR
I was standing outside my house at 4 E. Richard Dr. in Palm Bluff, Arkansas watching the night sky. At roughly 9:30 p.m. I noticed a glowing orb, flying low and very slowly or duration of about 12 seconds, until it completely disappeared out of the sky. It was as if just when I was getting good and focused on it the orb dematerialized from the sky.

This thing just appeared and took up most of the sky.. it looked just like a picture of a satellite except the fact that it was super high and had to be atleaset 40 full size commercial jets long. idrc if you believe me or not this thing was silent and miles long and then just disappeared. No noise at all. Just a report, I hope someone else saw it besides us. Nothing is as big as this can be in the sky

Orange, CA
(4:30pm) I walked out of AutoZone towards my car. There was a chill in the air, and wind gusts at approx 6-8mph. I looked up at the low dark fast moving scattered clouds in the sky. During a quick break in the clouds I saw a white stationary-shape-changing -object. For a few minutes it was shimmering off the setting Sun. The object was above the moving clouds. -Not going through them. For 10 minutes. I didn't have my glasses on, I couldn't see the complete details of the object. So I asked a guy working on his truck if he could see what the object was. He said "it looked like one or two of those white spy balloons." A few minutes later, when I was next to my car. The object appeared to change shape, *(like a pulsating piece of chewed bubble gum) and become a darker gray color and started floating North for approx 12 minutes. *(slower than the moving clouds) (4:52pm) As the sun set and the sky grew darker I lost sight of the object. I saw the object a total of 7 times between the clouds during the 22 minutes I watched it. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

Looking SSW loading a plane. A small Lear Jet was passing over heading S towards Meacham Airport about 5k feet. Just above about 7 to 10k feet, a triangle shaped craft emerged from a cloud then disappeared. Sun glinting off 3 tips. Not red, green or white lights. Sun shine glimmering.

As my husband and I were disembarking a cruise ship, we saw an oval white object with no propulsion and no wings fly by the space needle. It appeared to be flying at the level of the top of the space needle with no sound until it went out of view.

First let me start with nctr only has one way in and one way out. I have been going to this place since I was 16 years old I have never seen anything of the sorts here. My fiancé and I drive this road At least 1 time everyday on good days we will drive it 2 maybe 3 times of the day. It’s my favorite place. Tonight we had an amazing lightning storm which we don’t normally get. I decided to go later in the night since my kid was staying with my cousin. It was 11 when we turned down nctr and went over the train tracks. I immediately noticed a star in the sky and announced to my fiancé that was weird being as the sky was so cloudy from the storm. He started to pay attention to it more at this point, he says did that just move I told him I didn’t know I couldn’t see it from the windshield he said holly shit it did move it changed from a one star looking light then it spreaded apart into 3 star looking lights with 3 red lights in the tips of the triangle on the bottom of the ship my fiancé said “look out the window I got the steering wheel” I did a quick head tilt to the left out of my window and I saw 2 white lights with a red light flashing between the white one I stated “that’s just a tower baby” immediately I realized there was no tower in the field there is actually a pond down in a valley right in that area and it is now open almost all of the trees have been cut to where you can see down to the pond. Once again 5 seconds go by and my fiancée is grabbing the wheel again telling me to look out of my window that I wouldn’t believe was I was fixing to see that he thought if I didn’t look right then I was going to miss it. I rolled my window back down enough where I could tilt my head to the side again but this time I couldn’t see it I stuck my head out of my window and looked straight up above my car. It was SO HUGE!!!!!!!! I can’t even explain the texture of the ship. It looked shiny but gooey like if you were to touch it slime would be stuck to your hand it was most definitely a black vessel. it was as low as the trees I’d say only 100ft above my car I felt in immediate danger and took off keep in mind the speed limit is 45 on this road and yes if my daughter isn’t in the car I ride 5 over so I was going 50mph I speed to the river and just sat there for a few seconds trying to get the courage up to drive back down the road to get out of nctr to come back home for the night. It was excatly 11:22 when I looked out of my window and the ship was above my car did I mention there was NO SOUND!!!! It was just hovering silently no wind from it no sound waves after I took off nothing!!!! There was a car behind me at the time but I am not sure if they saw it they kept going I assume they live down there somewhere they were going just as fast as I was I hit 70mph trying to get somewhere safe feeling to turn around. I was so excited at first then my body just told me to run!! We finally talked ourselfs back up to leave I called my mom as soon as I got service and made her stay on the phone with us becusse we were freaking out looking the whole sky trying to see where it went! We NEVER FOUND IT!!!!! It was gone by the time we made it back down the road! That confirmed it WAS NOT A TOWER. I realized afterwards I never heard one cricket the whole time I was down the road which is extremely not normal.

Saw a row of 3 bright lights and 1 larger lower brighter circle light. Due west over ocean. Stayed in fixed position for 1/2 hour, then we got cold. Saw 3 planes headed directly toward them. 1 seemed very close, enough to probably get a good look.

Saw contrails behind the clouds and then a formation of what I thought looked like aircraft flying West to East. It took about 40-60 seconds to cross the sky where I was before I lost sight. I do have trees on both sides of where I was sitting/standing. They were lit up with what appeared to be soft white lights, don't remember seeing any other color lights. Almost looked like a caterpillar formation. Did not appear to me that they were that high in elevation. Had my hot tub running so I did not hear any sound. Same line of flight that I saw a group of aircraft flying single file spaced out one or two to a slot, that was about 20 aircraft and was early morning earlier this spring. Again, I assume both of these instances were military aircraft. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

A couple weeks ago I saw a bright light in the sky, but didn’t think anything of it, a couple weeks later my daughter saw it and said mom, there’s a bright light outside, so we started taking pictures and recording it, and it didn’t move at all. I looked the next few nights for it but it was Over cast so on Monday 5/22/2023 I checked the sky and it was not there anymore. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

Plainfield, IN
I noticed an object in the sky . We live near the airport but this wasn’t a plane. It was stationary then moved to the side. This was the best of the two pics. I went in and called my wife to the front door . I showed her the pictures. We went back out and it was gone. The whole event took less than two minutes. I didn’t know what to make of it. I sent the picture to my brother. After he examined it for a minute he advised me to report it. I was afraid to be wrong about it and thought there must be some explanation . I have decided to report it because the image quality is very good. This picture was taken October 12 2021 at 9:00 pm. The bright light in the pic was a star.
