On my back porch and sense it or something and looked over my shoulder and saw it coming and so I ran out across Leslie street into the field and it glided over my head in silence and very low and with a red light revolving around it and as it went into the distance I can see faint red hazey beams red in clouds mist. The clouds were moving in the same speed as the jet black orb.

Kyrgyzstan
We were traveling westbound over Kyrgyzstan at FL320 on an established airway from Guangzhou China to Cologne Germany. It was a little past local apparent noon and the sun was slightly behind us. I looked up and saw a bright contact close in off our right nose. I checked TCAS and saw nothing. I looked back up and saw a small craft very close and slightly above us. The size and distance were difficult to determine because we did not know what we were looking at. However the craft was very clearly seen, I believe it was within half a mile. I estimated the rough size to be that of a car or SUV stood vertically. It appeared to be two flattened spheres with a disk between them, a small mast on top and a longer mast/antenna on the bottom. The lower mast had several (2-3) small spheres along the length with one on the bottom. There were no visible means of propulsion or wings. The flattened spheres appeared solid and symmetrical. The did not appear to be ballon’s or lifting bodies. Additionally the were not large enough to be lifting bodies for the relative size of the craft. Again closure rate was hard to determine because we did not know exactly what we were looking at. I don’t believe the object was traveling in the opposite direction. I believe it was the same direction of travel (just much slower) or stationary. The craft did not appear react to our aircraft. There were no lights on the craft. There were no visible windows or sensors attached to the craft. The Captain and I have over 60 years of military and civilian aviation between us and almost in unison our reaction was “What the #@$& was that?!” Of all the photos and drawings of UFOs I’ve never seen anything like this. I would be very interested to hear if anything like this has been reported by others or if this is something in your database.

Object flew slowly across the sky in front of my office. It did not look man made. Flew slower than a helicopter or plane and did not look to be a drone. It was flying maybe a few thousand feet in the air. There were no navigational lights and was moving at a speed I have not seen any kind of man made object move. I have attached two photos for your reference, they are live images so you can see the movement.

Chepstow, MONMOUTH · United Kingdom
Night time, around 10pm. Warm evening so we had the curtains and windows open. Clear sky. Notice bright light through the trees. Thought it was the moon. Then I saw the moon. On closer inspection; It wasn’t the moon. It was to low. Far brighter, 30-50% larger, seemed closer. It was more reflective than the moon. Almost shimmery? Warm white, very bright. But despite being so bright didn’t cast any beams of light, so not a spotlight? It wasn’t moving, was hovering in space. Close over our house. Was not a flair or lantern or drone. We live in bulwark that sits above the main town and have good visibility other than the trees. Furthest away it could’ve is been over the river wye, which is around 200ft away, so over the water? Tell Partner, they go for a closer look and it disappears into nowhere. Just vanishes. We both saw it though, whole event lasted 30-40 seconds. It made no sounds. Area was very calm and still during sighting. We are familiar with the aircraft that fly over, usually daily- it was no plane or helo, and there was nothing on the flight radar or flight tracker groups that suggested it was an aircraft. We were and are still perplexed by what we saw and cannot explain it.

I have a habit of looking up every time I go outside, so I noticed the bright Mars/Venus bright spot to the West and the moon almost directly overhead. There were no other lights or stars visible yet, and the sky was totally cloudless and clear. On my way back in, approximately 3-5 minutes later, I noticed that another bright star had appeared in the West, to the left of Mars/Venus. It wasn't quite as large or bright as Mars/Venus, but it was unmoving. I watched it for just a few seconds, and then it disappeared. I don't know if my eyes were playing tricks on me, but as I kept watching the Western sky, I felt like I was seeing small flashes of light in the sky, intermittently and randomly scattered around the area. When I watched other areas of the sky, I didn't have this experience. This went on for just a minute or so. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

Le 28 juin 2023, vers 19h, à EVRY-COURCOURONNES, le témoin, à l’intérieur du stade du parc des Loges, (91) observe un PAN évoluant dans le ciel. Il enregistre immédiatement une vidéo de 4 minutes. La description de l’apparence et du comportement du PAN, tel que visible sur cette vidéo et corroborée par le témoignage, est la suivante : - objet de forme ronde et de couleur noire, sans caractéristiques supplémentaires telles que halo ou structure spécifique. Le témoin note un aspect métallique, non visible sur la vidéo. - l'objet semble être à basse altitude (au niveau d’un des lampadaires du stade), se déplaçant lentement et sans bruit. Il disparaît après quelques minutes, s'éloignant tout en montant dans le ciel. Selon le témoin, sa trajectoire est décrite comme suit : « rectiligne et ascendante, avec des mouvements apparemment aléatoires en haute altitude ». Un seul témoignage est recueilli. Grâce aux repères visibles sur la vidéo et aux indications schématiques fournies par le témoin, nous avons pu reconstituer l'orientation du déplacement du PAN, qui se dirige de l'est vers l'ouest. Cependant, une marge d'incertitude subsiste en raison des difficultés à positionner le PAN avec précision, notamment au début de l'observation. Selon les critères du GEIPAN, la consistance* de ce cas est jugée bonne, malgré l'absence initiale de données d'azimut, que nous avons pu reconstituer, et le fait qu'il n'y ait qu'un unique témoin, celui-ci ayant néanmoins fourni une vidéo exploitable du PAN (* la consistance est la quantité d’informations considérées comme fiables, recueillies pour un témoignage). L’hypothèse explorée est celle d’un simple ballon de baudruche gonflé à l’hélium et pour laquelle les éléments suivants concordent : - forme ronde, tout à fait cohérente avec celle d’un tel ballon, - la couleur noire est plausible. L'aspect métallique rapporté par le témoin suggère que le ballon pourrait être constitué d'une enveloppe aluminisée (de type Mylar), un matériau couramment utilisé pour les ballons gonflés à l'hélium. - déplacement lent, rectiligne et ascendant, parfaitement compatible avec le comportement normal d’un tel ballon. Les mouvements plus erratiques observés par le témoin à une altitude plus élevée sont compatibles avec la présence de vents plus irréguliers, voire en cisaillement, à ces altitudes. Cependant, ces phénomènes ne peuvent pas être formellement démontrés avec les données météorologiques dont nous disposons, car ils peuvent se produire à une échelle très réduite. Concernant l'orientation du déplacement, les données météorologiques indiquent que le vent soufflait faiblement, ce qui est compatible avec le déplacement lent du PAN. L'orientation du vent était plutôt au nord-est, ce qui concorde avec la direction observée du PAN, malgré les diverses incertitudes. (Voir le document météorologique pour l'heure UT, avec un décalage de deux heures par rapport à l'heure d'observation ; les symboles DD indiquent la direction du vent et FF la force du vent). Le témoin a envisagé dès le départ la possibilité qu'il s'agisse d'un ballon, mais l'a écartée pour les raisons suivantes : - « La sphère paraît plutôt remplie lorsqu’elle se déplace » : cette impression est probablement due à la couleur noire, à l'aspect métallique et à la forme parfaitement ronde du ballon, qui peuvent effectivement donner l’illusion d’un objet solide, réellement métallique et plein. - «On perçoit l'objet se déplaçant autrement en changeant de direction » : comme déjà expliqué, ce changement de direction, qui n’a pas été constant durant toute l’observation mais uniquement lorsque le PAN a atteint une certaine altitude, est dû à des vents changeants et plus irréguliers rencontrés à cette altitude. - « Sa forme ne correspond pas à un ballon d'hélium commun, sachant qu'aucun fil n'était présent. » La présence d’un fil n’est pas systématique, ou il a pu se détacher du ballon ou être coupé. En ce qui concerne la forme sphérique, elle est au contraire tout à fait courante pour un ballon en Mylar gonflé à l’hélium, généralement disponible à la vente sur Internet. L'origine de ce ballon n'a pas pu être déterminée lors de l'enquête. Cependant, il convient de noter que la zone est entourée, au nord et à l'est, de nombreux établissements scolaires (écoles, collèges et lycées). Il est donc possible qu'un ballon ait été lâché ou perdu durant cette période de fêtes, à la fin de l'année scolaire. LE GEIPAN classe le cas en A, observation d’un ballon de baudruche.

Was driving and saw a silver sphere floating in the sky ~ 3 foot diameter. The sun was reflecting off of it, seemed to be floating or coming towards me about 10 seconds, and then quickly veared down and to the left behind a treeline. Once I got closer and passed the treeline I couldn't see/find it anywhere. I was on 512 driving towards the South Hill Mall exit about 3 miles away from it when I spotted it in the sky to the left of the freeway.

At 3:48 on the morning of Wednesday June 28, 2023 my partner and I noticed a series of blinking lights in the sky that made a definite form. It was a disc shape craft that was slowly coming down at a steady pace. The lights seemed to be flashing around the center or edge of the craft. The lights made it appear to be spinning. They were red, yellow, and white lights but on video the only lights visible were red and a few white. There were more lights that appeared to the naked eye that ran the whole length of the craft. As is slowly made its decent, my partner and I lost visual as it disappeared behind the tree line. There was no sound at all. Not even 5 seconds after losing visual the security for Fort Clark Springs and the local Kinney County Sheriff were headed down the road and passed us, straight to the direction of the craft. There was no further sighting or any other activity from law officials.

Woke up 1:30 AM Wednesday morning (June 28, 2023) and went outside in my back yard on Boca Ciega Bay. I was startled, Object hung low over Boca Ciega Bay. I initally thought is was a "strawberry" moon, but one side was abeba like, while the other side was a smooth curve that would get a bit bumpy. It was glowing and pulsated a bit.

Lamont, CA
I was driving on the southbound lane heading towards LA on the 5 and witnessed to my left a chevron shaped craft the size of a Boeing 747 hovering about 1000 feet off the ground with around 10 bright lights on it. It banked to the left, cut the lights, and it became clear that the craft was non reflective and seemingly black in color. It then dove towards the ground over a field, righted itself so it was parallel to the ground at around 50 ft off the ground and flew for around 1000 feet then lifted up and sped away disappearing. None of the plants or crops seemed to be blowing or effected by the craft. It was much more agile that a regular plane and due to its size surprising that if it was military it would be allowed to cut its lights as well as fly that low by a highway. Many other cars seemingly reacted to it as well but I did not stop to chat with anyone as there were no immediate exits.

Just to add a little context, we live in the middle of an old corn field, surrounded by other cornfields. Very rural. Pic is taken from my back porch, camera facing east. The only cities are north (Fredericksburg VA approximately 20 mi) and south (Richmond VA approximately 40 mi). I reside in Woodford VA, which is in the county of Caroline. There's an army base (fort ap hill) in bowling green va. But that's west of my house. Around 20 mi or so. The camera is facing Spotsylvania, Louisa, ect. All rural areas and to the east. We do get commercial flights that fly over, but they always fly at very high altitudes. I can't think of any commercial airports that are within 50-60 miles of us. And none in that direction. Closest are Richmond and DC ( north and south). There were commercial aircraft in the sky, but I did not notice any craft racing towards it or anything trying to "investigate". I have to note that the picture is exactly as it was taken on my phone. HOWEVER I think my phone did like an auto adjust/ focus. The reason I say that is this was taken somewhere around 10-1030 pm. The sky was much darker and the orbs/lights were dimmer….or more faint. So the camera kind of amplified everything. On the bottom pattern, the image makes it appear as though it could be a spot light of some sort (which it def could be) but in person It looked as though the lights were shining downward. The top row of lights didn't appear to have any sort of beam. The objects weren't racing around the sky. In fact, they initially appeared as though they weren't moving at all. However over the course of about 5-10 mins the pattern did change. They almost lined up parallel..but then the bottom row became almost one with the top. When the pattern of light was disappearing, they appeared to vanish upward. Or so it appeared that way. One last note. In today's local newspaper, there was an article about UFOs in Virginia.

Walking back to our rental along Seaside Dr, I randomly looked behind us towards Cow Key. I saw two orangeish-yellow orbs/lights/circles slowly move up in the sky. They paused, and I don't know how to explain it better but they turned to look at each other. Then moved towards each other and crossed paths. Then darted off in opposite directions and vanished. I immediately yelled to my husband to look. He then saw a blue orb thing dart off from east to west in the same area.

Rapperswil, CANTON O · Switzerland
I looked out the window of my 5th floor apartment on June 27, 2023 at 7:05am European Time and there was a dark cylindrical mass in the sky (dark grey, black). It was about 2km away from me. It looked a bit like a big bell. It was not moving. I sensed that it was just hovering in one spot. The day was cloudy but bright. I watched the dark object with my two children and my husband for 12 minutes or so. It never moved the entire time. I had to get my kids' bags ready for school, so I left the window. When I checked on it five minutes later, it was gone. Disappeared. There is a commercial hot air balloon that flies in different parts of Switzerland owned by Vitogaz that is a similar shape and is grey and red. What I don't understand is if it was a hot air balloon: How did it completely disappear from such a height so quickly, and why did I get such a weird vibe from it. Balloons don't move quickly. It would have had to have plummeted to the ground. I have video from 7:09 and then at 7:26 when it completely disappeared. I’m used to seeing hot air balloons in our area. This did not act like a hot air balloon, and it wasn’t in the location that the hot air balloons usually fly. It was closer to me. Usually they stay farther away on the horizon, and I can always see all the colors on the balloons from where I live. This object had no colors. After seeing this in the sky I was convinced it was not normal. I googled to see if anyone else saw anything and found this report in Lausanne in July 2020. https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/1315827/UFO-sighting-video-Lausanne-bell-UFO-real-aliens-news?int_source=amp_continue_reading∫_medium=amp∫_campaign=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target The report here is very much the same as my experience, except I didn't have trees for the object to possibly hide behind. There are also many reports that these sighting are just the Vitogaz balloon. I really don't believe this. And why have other people in Switzerland been alarmed by similar sightings as well. It just seems like something isn't right with all of this. I'm not satisfied with it being a commerical balloon for all the reasons I listed above. I have shown the footage to a few local friends who agreed that it just doesn't seem right. I hope all of this information is helpful, and I hope this event isn't dismissed as another balloon sighting. I believe it really needs to be looked into further.

Looked up and saw a triangle of lights fade into view, like a plane's lights would between blinking. Red light in front, two white lights behind. I watched it for a second and then the lights fade back out. They never fade back on and I then saw a large rounding shape barely silhouetted against the dark night sky. Visually tracking the direction of the slow moving lights, I kept focused on where the lights should fade back in, but it never did. I watched for a couple minutes then came in to get my wife to see if she could see it, too. It never came back on, but the triangle is lights was definitely there but only the one time. Super weird.

I watched as this super bright white light started shooting across the sky, at first it looked as if it had a tail, I watched it for about 30 or 40 seconds before I had to try to break away and grab my phone and get a picture. Which I did. And my wife saw it too.

I just got off from work, I went and out my daughter on our trampoline and went back around the house to my car till my daughter began to scream for me. I ran back over and she points up at this long white cylinder/ hammer shaped thing that is changing shapes and condensing and elongating till it condenses down and a spherical shaped ufo pops out. It hovered above us for a little while and then shot off and went somewhere just to come back and hover above us again and then shoots off again in the opposite direction. It was white, had no visible markings, no sound, no exhaust, and had some type of force field around it. The drawing I made is a very crude drawing of how the portal looked.

At 8:12pm on June 26 2023 I walked out side to my back yard and saw an object moving across the sky in an orbital pattern. I noticed that this object appeared to be lower than the ISS when it passes over which led me to grab my phone and record video. The object moves across the sky and eventually moves beyond my sight. I have I video of the event. I’m only reporting this because I checked the position of the ISS and it could not have been the ISS I also check into starling satellites and it appears to be different than those.
