Sitting on the roof deck with an unusually clear sky, we were watching satellites quietly cross the heavens. Then i noticed 2 objects moving rapidly toward the northwest. the objects were moving back and forth in an elliptical motion. they traded places in the lead position without ever crossing. they traded places at a rate of approx. 1 sec. i do not believe this was within the earth's atmosphere the sun was clearly hitting them, as it does satellites. when i first spotted them, i yelled "what the hell is that?" and pointed. my wife was easily able to spot them to the left of the big dipper and follow them with me until they disappeared.

After previously watching the Lunar Eclipse To our South this night. My husband, brother, sister-in-law, and I were sitting in the driveway facing the north. My sister-in-law abruptly calls out to us, asking for us to look ahead. A few hundred feet in the air was a large object that was motionless, large bright orbs. This object was diagonal to the skyline and stayed in one place for approximately 10 to 15 minutes before it completely vanished into thin air. We did contact our local law enforcement agencies to no avail. We were able to capture a couple of interesting photos from our iPhone.

Cluster of lights moving in a straight line. They appeared close and moved away until they disappeared and were a cluster of many white lights that stayed in formation until they disappeared

My boyfriend and I watched the stars. Suddenly, a strong light appeared above us. The subject was not high up, the lights cast a shadow over the large, long object. It had 8-10 strong lights. It made no sound. It was visible for about 1 minute. Suddenly he was gone.

It was a beautiful spring day and the bright blue sky was clear with no clouds with had a light breeze. I was on the corner of the location waiting for a friend when I looked up in the sky and saw a formation of at least 12 white objects hovering in a pattern. I immediately thought it might be drones, but they were white and in a formation which I believe would be difficult for someone to navigate. Additionally, flying drones in NYC is illegal- though people do fly solo drones in certain places. The objects were hovering above the surrounding apartment buildings, but lower than any airplanes. The formation would shift but stay in a group. It was the strangest thing I've seen, so I stopped a couple of guys walking by and asked them what they thought it was? First, they also thought it could be drones but agreed it was different and unlike anything they've seen either. The objects hovered in the pattern for another few minutes then moved west out of my site range.

Dallas, TX
Was waiting in line at the Pollo Regio on Buckner across from Walgreens in Pleasant Grove(Dallas). I thought I saw some birds circling at first but then I noticed it was just glints of light spinning horizontally across the sky. Like a tornado of them, but with enough distance between them to still distinguish the sky and moving clouds clearly. It was a vortex shape with depth that appeared like white birds. It moved across the horizon just like a tornado in the sky then vanished altogether. I had been watching the clouds roll by while I waited so I thought maybe it was just visual interference of some sort, but nothing like that followed my eyes when I looked away, and it was clearly moving through the sky in a single direction while parts of the light that moved like birds just vanished until it was all gone. Less like a craft and more like an entity in itself, or something outside of conventional

I didn’t notice the UFO in the picture I took until reviewing my photos from my trip on 7.14.2022 I don’t know what this is but I took a total of three pics the two I uploaded are in the same direction. Both within seconds apart but its only in one pic?

I’m a college student, and my roommate and I like to stargaze in the country. Neither of us believe in aliens and were only looking for shooting stars. We both noticed one “star” that was moving, and assumed it was a plane or satellite. This object started to move in shapes, some of which seemed like letters to us - we saw a deliberate “M” shape, an “S” and etc. We watched it for an hour wondering if we were seeing things, and looking at other stars to make sure it was actually moving in relation to them (which it was). We then noticed two fainter starlike objects very close to the main one, seemingly higher in the sky, making a perfect isosceles triangle. All three would move in strange jerky ways, unlike a satellite or plane. None of them moved very far from the original spots, and after making shapes, would return to their original positions. We have no idea what could be doing this and decided to report. All objects looked high enough to be outside the atmosphere, and several planes flew under them. They were white and generally just looked like stars, but twinkled more frequently.

A string of lights with a sort of head light at the back moved gracefully across the sky. As it travelled eastward, it disappeared into nothingness. We saw it for about a minute until it disappeared. The two of us each got a photo.

At 9:50 I went outside to smoke and saw the long row of lights coming in over Lake Michigan. I at first thought it was a asteroid, but then realized it was a craft of some sort. I took the picture of it using the night vision on my phone. The object came in from the NW and at the rate of maybe a plane flew right over Muskegon heading towards inland Michigan going SE. The object didn’t make any noise at all and appeared to be low. Towards the end of it there was a dark spot and then another light. I didn’t count the lights, but I would have to say there were 20-30 very close lights. When it went SE just at the tree line the lights faded out.

Was sent from and old friend who didn't want to share due to her status in the community and was afraid from potential blowback. Objects came from behind clouds, continued to be in sight for several minutes before moving in formation back behind cloud cover. Completely silent, no obvious signs of propulsion such as contrails etc.

Saw a large black hovering object besides school field when driving by. Object was moving East to West and not making Any sound. We watched until it was out of sight below below tree line further away. Object at first almost looked like a man shape, when video and images were analyzed looks almost like double helix shape with some sharp edges and curves. Did not resemple any type of floating balloon both witnesses have ever seen. Wasn't morphing or changing shape but object was moving positions in its orientation. It was estimated 2-300 ft from ground and was hovering and moving pretty slow above but fast enough once we honed in to escape view pretty quickly. We couldn't wrap our heads around what we were seeing. The object was roughly larger than a man but smaller than a car. About the size of your thumbnail if you held your hand up.

It was around 8pm . I was outside the house watching sky and I noticed a weird looking craft( formation) travelling from East to North West, it has formation of 2 yellow stable lights at front , 2 yellow stable lights at side and just behind of front lights there was a 1 stable red light, it had humming sound as aeroplane, it was flying at slightly lower altitude, there is a airport near us so I have seen many aeroplanes flying at that altitude , but the size of this formation was double the size of aeroplane flying at that altitude, I tried to take photos and videos but somehow my phone camera wasn't able to capture it .my camera was working fine before and after that incident but at that time when the craft was passing by my camera system somehow glitched.

I was looking at the sky and suddenly I saw a formation of lights travelling from East to west ( North West) it went over our building. it was a formation of 5 lights . 2 yellow lights at front and 2 yellow lights at side( slightly at back ) and one red light at the back side of front two lights. That thing had humming sound like aeroplane. it wasn't flying at higher altitude. That formation was stable lights ( no blinking lights as aeroplane) . we have airport near, about 30km away. so I see aeroplanes every day and I am sure what I saw wasn't an aeroplane. It was bigger in size than an aeroplane flying at that altitude. If it was an aeroplane of that size and flying at that altitude it could have definitely made really loud noise. But that formation wasn't making very loud sound. whenever I see an aeroplane coming from the distance they look like single point of light and when they come near I can see its various blinking lights. But this thing was from start to end looks like a formation and with stable, non blinking lights . And I tried to take pictures and videos of it, but somehow my phone camera glitched at that particular time . Everything else of my phone camera was working except capture button.

In yard walking south around 9 pm. On phone with family member. Glanced up to sky while walking and caught movement over left shoulder. Street lights were on and it was dark out. Stars visible but possibly hazy light cloud cover. Turned around to see movement better and saw 5-6 fuzzy round objects in the sky flying north in formation. Close to airport and familiar with all sorts of aircraft coming too and from and there was no correlating sound to the objects that sounded anything like any flying object. Seemed high up like jet plane distance but bigger. No flashing lights or colors seen. The objects moved in formation smoothly like an uneven V formation like geese but way closer together. I told my family memeber I had to go and hung up and tried to grab a picture but I lost it through the outline of the tree as I was moving fast. Tracked with my eyes where it should be but looked down at my phone for camera app and couldn't find it after that. Very unfamiliar sighting and I look up a LOT in my life.

On March 26, 2022 I was leaving my sister's house at around 10:35 PM when I noticed 4-5 glowing balls of light randomly floating above the highway. They were a soft amber color, and at first I assumed they were planets or something like that. But the thing that made me pick up my phone to record it was the formation of the first set of lights and the way they just seemed to sit in the sky so effortlessly. It's hard to describe why they struck me as possibly being something other than something that could be explained, but i just got this strange feeling from them. Years ago, I had another experience w a strange sighting. My ex husband and I noticed a strange bright white (I can't remember if it blinked red or green, but i think it def blinked different colors) but it appeared out of nowhere, hovered extremely low for it to be a plane, and stayed in one place. He and I looked at each other in disbelief of what we were seeing, and in just the time of a glance- it was no where to be seen. We both knew what we saw wasn't anything that could be explained. My uncle also claimed to see a similar light that suddenly disappeared at the end of the same street. Of course everyone made light of the matter, so we dropped it and never talked about it again. So naturally, this time I was going to get what I was seeing on camera so I could prove what i was saying. And another strange thing is I got that same weird feeling I had gotten years earlier. So I start to record it and realize it would be difficult to show what I was seeing from the side of the road I was on. So I go to turn around immediately and before I could get turned- they were gone! There was 1 that was faint but it was gone shortly thereafter. I was shaking and done so for i know an hour after I got home. I posted the videos in hopes of someone giving me an explanation so i could calm down, but I looked up every suggestion mentioned and none of them looked like what I saw. I didn't even realize i had gotten a video of the moment multiple other balls of light lit up out of no where and disappeared just as suddenly!!
