Around 2PM 1/10/22 I turned onto Bell RD east from 51rst Ave ! Saw what looked like blank airplane banner without anything pulling it, going south slowly! My best guess was it was flying south over I-17 about 1/2 mile up and about the size of a long airplane banner. It was at my upper left corner of windshield when first noticed. Pulled into parking lot and watched it fly south until it disappeared into the distance, still moving slowly! Had no idea what I saw until I was watching Origins Unknown: Alien Presents On Earth at 9 minutes in and saw the same exact thing on program they called it snake shaped UFO they said it has only been seen the last year or so! I will post video recorded from TV so you'll know better what I saw I didn't see the curly on in the video mine was the straight billowy one. Wish I hadn't forgot my phone!

6 months before this sighting during the first lock down in 2020 I witnessed and photographed a craft in broad daylight which looked like one of the tic tacs (which I will include in the pictures). A week before that I was laying watching TV at around 5.30pm when suddenly there was a few flashes of extremely bright white light and I was paralysed and could only move my eyes. A few seconds later there was another bright flash and a being made of light appeared right in front of me. It was there about 10 seconds, then there was another flash of light and it was gone and I could move. The whole thing lasted about 15 seconds, but when I looked at the time it was 9.45pm. I had around 4 hours of missing time, and have since questioned everything about reality. I will include a sketch of the light being also.

Sierra Vista, AZ
It's shape was that of a railroad boxcar but apparently outside of our atmosphere. There were no contrails from entering the atmosphere. It was large enough from my vantage point to block most of the big dipper and from my vantage point it was silent. It wasn't leaving any contrails so I assumed it was outside of our atmosphere. It traveled in an almost flat concave arc and came from the direction of SonoraMexico to the no fly zone over Fort Huachuca army testing grounds east range. I then lost sight. I have mentioned this only to my immediate family.

I was on the beach when I looked up. I noticed a dark rectangle approaching. It was moving along the coast from South to North. It was relatively low and silent. There was 6 lights on the bottom of the object. The lights were evenly spaced and equal in size and intensity. The object had no wings. About 10 minutes after the object passed the moon began to rise over the ocean. The moon that night was a bright neon orange color. Attached is an illustration.

It was on a December night in 2021 that my 14 year old daughter and I had picked up my 24 year old (at the time) daughter from work and dropped her off at my mother's in Gales Ferry. We then drove home and as I made a left hand turn onto route 201, we observed some very bright lights on the left side hovering behind the trees on the farm. My daughter said she saw it as a rectangle with extremely bright lights on it while I just saw the extremely bright lights. I believe there was a car coming behind me so I drove about 100 feet ahead to a road on the right and turned around to go back and it was gone. I had also rolled my window down in the truck to hear but there wasn't any sound. My daughter was in shock, not believing it has just disappeared, I think she may have screamed. I turned the truck around and drove home, about 4 minutes down the road.

IdentifiedMarmande, Aquitaine · France
Le 17 décembre 2021, à 17h15, le témoin rentre de son travail lorsqu’en arrivant près du rond-point séparant le « Tridome » au « Centre Leclerc » à Marmande, il aperçoit dans le ciel, vers le NNO, un point lumineux statique. L’objet brille beaucoup et le témoin pense que c’est le soleil couchant qui reflète sur lui. L'automobiliste se dirige alors vers cette direction en longeant le centre Leclerc puis se gare près du magasin « Point P », toujours à Marmande. Il descend de voiture et observe vers l’est ce point brillant qui bouge en se dirigeant vers Marmande. Il aperçoit alors une forme constituée de deux blocs blancs relié avec une partie incurvée de couleur gris métallisé. Durant l’observation le témoin réalisera plusieurs photos et une courte vidéo du phénomène avant que le PAN ne disparaisse vers Marmande et qu’il le perde de vue au niveau de l’Intermarché (SSE). L’observation a duré environ trois minutes. Un seul témoignage sera recueilli. Pour ce cas la consistance est bonne : témoignage bien documenté, accompagné de photos et d’une vidéo. Le témoin est disponible ce qui a aidé considérablement l’enquêteur dans sa tâche d’enquête (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). L’étrangeté est surtout celle ressentie par le témoin qui se trouve face à un phénomène inexpliqué : « Cela se déplaçait au ralenti, j’étais déjà sûr que ce n’était pas un avion. A cette vitesse là l’avion se casse la gueule. » Le témoin perçoit un objet massif « brillant » se déplaçant à très faible vitesse. Après étude du dossier et des données obtenues avec différentes applications aéronautiques, le GEIPAN conclut à l’observation du vol BGA121J Beluga – Vol régulier Saint-Nazaire-Toulouse - qui passe à la même heure, dans les azimuts d’observation et à la bonne hauteur angulaire. Avec ses 63 m de longueur une hauteur de ~19 m, le Beluga est un avion hors normes. La surface qu’il présente au soleil couchant ce jour-là devait réfléchir considérablement, intriguant fortement le témoin. Le GEIPAN classe cette observation en A : observation d'un avion (vol BGA121J Beluga) reflétant fortement le soleil. [GEIPAN classification A — Avion]

The object looked like a sideways skyscraper. Noticed it in the sky while I was jogging with a friend . My friend is very familiar with with aviation air crafts. We both stood in disbelief for about 10-15 seconds . The object seems to dissolve into itself . The night sky was as clear as it could get. [NUFORC annotation: Searchlight - Probable]

Observer 1 saw one large white lighted object first while driving home at night. Called second observer at home to have them go outside and look as well. Observer 2 while at home turned all lights off, went outside saw a plane in the sky. They continued to look for another object and then saw a very large long white lighted rectangular object in the sky while on the phone with observer 1 who was also seeing the same thing. Note both observers were about 3 mi apart from each other. The object was North, slightly NW. The lights appeared to be very tall and parallel to each other and they seemed to run the entire length of the object. While continuing to look at the object in the sky, observer 2 at home proceeded to take a picture with their cell phone and then a zoomed in picture with their cell phone. Observer 2 then moved the phone settings to video and the object disappeared. Observer 1 approximately 3 miles away also noted the object could no longer be seen in the sky at that time. Observer 1 saw the object for approximately a few minutes. The object did not appear to be moving. There were two commercial airplanes in the sky within sight during this time of the unidentified object sighting. Observer 1 is a mechanic and was in the army for ten years. Observer 2 is in management at a pharmaceutical development company. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

We were driving down the road, and out of nowhere a long skinny rectangle of lights appeared in the sky. First I thought it was the tail of a huge fireball or meteor, but the more I looked at it the more it remained stationary and unchanging in the sky. Almost like an LED strip, with lights doubled up. Very shimmery, sparkley, not moving or changing in any way. In the sky it was about the size of a pinky finger. We were on a mountain road and it took a few minutes to safely pull the car over, and it remained unchanging for that duration, for approximately two or three minutes. As I got out of the car, it disappeared in place. I can't quite remember if it faded out slowly or if i was just straining to see it, but it was gone quickly, never moving. Several other cars (maybe 4?) also pulled over abruptly, I assume for the same reason. I am generally a logical, skeptical person, and have been looking online at commonly mistaken UFO's (i.e. satellites, atmospheric balloons, fireballs, etc.) and nothing looks like this. I understand that the Star Link satellites were recently launched, but this looks nothing like that. The lights were packed closely together (for example it would be a light, then an open space the size of the light, then another light) It reminded me more of an LED strip of lights packed closely together, and maybe doubled or tripled up. It was beautiful and sort of glimmery or sparkley. My partner was driving at the time and we both saw the same thing. We were on a remote stretch of highway, clear and bright night sky, no moon or city lights. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for your work on this stuff!

Mobile, AL
In early evening of Friday, Dec 3, 2021, around 6:25pm I was walking around the block on my usual two-mile walk. I reside in the Ashmoor subdivision located in the western portion in the city of Mobile, Al. The neighborhood I was in when I spotted the object in the sky is Westchester, which is adjacent to my neighborhood. It was already fully dark outside. I had just left Ashmoor subdivision and entered the Westchester subdivision. My route takes me to Westchester Ln S in the direction of Grelot Rd. When I turned left onto Westchester Ln S off of Westchester Run, I immediately noticed a long glowing object to my West not far above the tree line that made me first think of a comet. As I continued to walk and focus on the object, I realized it was not as far away as I had first thought and was slowly moving to the northeast. My thoughts then shifted to this being a blimp. I then noticed that this object was flying in a very peculiar way. I could see what were small individual lights in perfect formation forming what would be a long straight row of lights in a possible rectangle or disk shape with no apparent wings or tail. The strange thing was the way the object was maintaining its altitude, however, in the direction it was flying, the front of the row of lights were much lower than lights in what would be the rear of the object. I then ruled this out as a blimp because there were no lights on top, front or rear of the object. It also appeared much too narrow to be a blimp. The object was also too long to be a helicopter. My last thought was ok, this has to be an airplane, however, there were no lights where there would normally be if the object had wings or a tail; there was only one long straight row of lights. I quickly called home and had my wife and son go outside and look to their north. I stayed on the phone and asked them if they saw the object. They were only about 1 to 2 blocks away from my location. They both said they saw the object and I asked my son to also take a photo and a video if he had time. My son snapped the picture that you will see attached to the form. The photo I took did not come out clearly. After I snapped my photo and my son confirmed he had taken one, I was going to take a video and I also asked him to video the object but in the few seconds we had been occupied snapping our photos, the object was gone. At the rate of speed it had been moving in the total time I had viewed it, over about 30 seconds I’m guessing, it still should have been visible before it flew over the tree line. It must have accelerated in the few seconds we were looking down to swipe from photo to video on our phones and when I looked up it was no longer anywhere to be seen. The object can be found on the attached photo to the lower right of the bright planet or star in the center of the sky. The object is also almost straight above the bright streetlight you can see in front of the house straight ahead. The object was moving to the right as you look at the photo. As you can see the front of the object was pitched way down in comparison to the rear. The object remained pitched forward like this the whole time I viewed it, about 30 seconds, and it did not appear to be decreasing its altitude. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

Siting of UFO on 3 December at approximately 6:40 pm. Location, North Phoenix, at 12th street and Forest Hills. I was walking my dog, then she barked at something in the air. To the southwest, I sighted what I first thought was a smoke trail of a fireball. It was “dusty” and long. I stared at it. As it got nearer it came into focus. It was very long, 100 yards or more, in a narrow rectangular shape. The entire thing flew almost directly over me. It had lights all along the body but not evenly spaced either horizontally or vertically. The front end had two lights. All the lights were white. The body was black and could not be seen. It then proceeded to the northeast and disappeared somewhat looking like the first observation. The entire incident lasted about 3-4 minutes. I was dumbfounded. I did not have my phone, or I would have taken a picture. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

I took two photos in quick succession of the view from Primrose Hill (Camden, London, England) looking towards the east of the city at 9.44am. I sent them to my family on our group chat as I thought they were so nice. My middle son immediately came back to be asking what the rectangle (bright pale blue) with 8 white lights was. He has a Masters degree in Physics & Astrophysics from the University of Manchester. It is in the second picture I took but not the first. This puzzles us greatly! To find what we are talking about - take the X that the contrails make in the sky as the centre of a clock, drop down to where the 5 would be and you will see a bright pale blue blob, zoom in on this and you will see a rectangle with 8 white lights. In the slightly earlier (seconds) picture this is not there. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Certain]

Driving with my brother at 10 pm at night and saw a "large , huge rectangular ark shape object" like object floating slowly low in the sky. At first appeared to be a big UPS jet which is common in this area. However it began to hover and then turn methodically and made two wide circles in the sky. Also it had red, white lights that clearly defined the rectangular shape. Also it appeared the traffic lights were flashing or fire trucks/ police cars flashing lights ahead of us as we drove. Then at the exact the same time the lihgts stopped flashing exactly when the object disapperaed or landed close by. We just don’t know. Brother noticed light haze. At first looking ahead of the road with all the flashing lights that a building was on fire. W saw object circle twice in the sky and vanish or land. 3 miuntes was all it took to do all this. Clear night not a cloud in the sky. Like a big noahs ark in the sky. Slow moving hovering was huge object. That’s it.

I took the pictures of the phenomena at 3:36 pm, 21 November 2021. I was on United airlines flight UA 2082, from Orlando, FL (dept- 1:45pm) to Washington Dulles International Airport (arrival 3:50pm). Pictures were over Northern Virginia (not sure exact location) as the aircraft was 15 minutes from landing. I was on a window seat on the rear and right side of the aircraft. I saw an almost rectangular, dark shaped object that seemed to be stationary in the sky being that it did not seem to be moving. What surprised me was the size of the object, and the fact that it was stationary/did not seem to be moving. I am in the military and have flown many times over many different countries and have never seen this type of object. I have also seen aerostat air ships, balloons, and even drones from aircraft while in flight, and this object did not look like anything I had ever seen before. While creating the PDF that I have attached, I saw in one of the pictures that there could have been up to two additional objects (so up to three) instead of the one that I saw. The PDF has pictures and further details related to the phenomena I saw that day. I am happy to answer further questions.
