Myrtle Beach, SC
I was at Myrtle Beach with my elderly mother and her two friends for the week. It was a Tuesday night on Oct. 8. The ladies were already in bed for the night and I was out on a 3rd floor hotel balcony overlooking the beach boardwalk. I was drinking bourbon at the time. It was around 23:00 and as I looks northward up the beach, I noticed Orangish Red lights in the air moving south following the beach. Weather was very cloudy and these lights were below the clouds. There was southward wind around 10 mph. as we were having poor weather last few days. I first glance I thought all the tourist helicopters were flying down the beach with a landing or spotlight on. I though it was cool, an evening air show of sorts. But then the several lights started dropping other reddish orange lights from the bottom. Just like them but smaller. These lights descended a bit and disappeared. First thought was roman candles or flares. I then noticed there was no sound coming from the objects. The tourist helicopters were loud, and I should be hearing them, but I wasn’t. As they drew closer. Still dropping their lights. I noticed there was no red or green wing tip lights. Just the reddish glow of the objects themselves. But still no engine noise. As first one was in front of the hotel and myself, I noticed no white blinking tail light either. Just a spherical light at about a 45-degree angle, below the clouds. And still no noise. It was at this time I woke my mother to look and see if she was seeing what I was seeing. She started watching the event mid-way through and also wondered what they were and also noticed no sound from them. The objects were still continuing to drop other lights. This entire time. My thinking if these were flares, they would illuminate the ground or water, but didn’t. they just dropped and dissipated. They were dropping light so frequently, there would be three small lights under the main. As the forth light would drop the first would dissipate. After 8 or 10 moved by the last one in the formation which unlike the others, was not dropping lights came by, and as they moved south disappeared into the low clouds. The objects in front were still dropping lights as I could no longer see them but the dropped lights still appeared as they fell below the clouds. This entire event lasted 4 or 5 min. I still have no clue what I saw. I have considered drones, but cannot explain the dropping of the lights. I have considered candle balloons as they were moving south with a southern wind direction with pieces of the burning materials falling off. But the straight-line formation along with the regularity of the dropping lights discounts that to me. I frequent airshows. I am a fan of military aviation, and I can identify aircraft as I see them fly over. Not being able to explain this is irritating to me. I do not believe in UFOs. I still don’t. However, there is video footage online that is very similar to what I saw. And I finally realized I had a cell phone to record this and I did video the last sphere as it went by. But as I said. It was not dropping lights like the others so I have no proof of that activity. If I was to describe this in UFO terms. Foo Fighter seems to match.

Marshfield/Brant Rock, MA
We had just finished dinner in Brant Rock and driving back to Plymouth on the back road via Rt 14. Heading South west we noticed 2 round objects glowing high in the sky. One was closer to us, the other was much higher. At first we thought it could have been a couple of drones, then thought it could have been Chinese lanterns but they had a steady, controlled movement about them. The were glowing and were spaced well apart from each other. When we came to a stop sign, we looked around and couldn't see them anymore.

Driving in my car on rt18 north in New Jersey, near mile marker 17, at approx 8:08pm, on October 8th, 2019, I witnessed a white orb moving in the sky outside the driver's side window, it paused briefly, then transformed to an odd emerald green color, then shot across the sky instantly. The movement of it was very odd, very jerky and sudden as it took off and was gone in an instant.

There are different colored flashing orbs that are moving around in the sky and getting closer when we record them.

Gilbert, AZ
Seen what at first appeared to be the brightest star in the night sky, but the white orb was moving fast and at a higher altitude and faster rate of speed compared to an aircraft that was also visible in the sky. The white orb, however, did not have any blinking lights as do most commercial aircraft. The flight of the orb white light was South-East and after observing it fly across the sky for a few minutes the light faded and didn't come back on.

Panama City Beach, FL
One orange sphere hovering in night sky turned bright then completely turned off. It appeared 5 min later then separated slowly into a second sphere. 10 min later one appeared again to the East, 10 min after that it appeared for a third time. Always hovering in the same equilateral line. We called the Coast Guard, they said there had been multiple calls about the objects and that the Air Force was training. Very peculiar, what air craft flies with its lights off at night and becomes a giant beam then disappears?

I was outside in the backyard with my kids this past Sunday when I saw these white spheres floating across the sky. Probably balloons...but looked pretty cool almost like slow moving stars during the day… They seemed to be moving against the wind but who knows...hoping you could share! Thanks! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAw86r0s0ks&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR1W06yOSzees-jTT2eWYT7_D12CUC4kkrEePZVym5rCQZqzfH_NaotNEkg

Four white orbs, about 1/4th the size of the moon, bigger than an airplane, were lined up until 2 of them moved on top of the other 2 very slowly, until they started turning clockwise together, maintaining the shape of a square or diamond with one orb at each point.

It was a clear Autumn day. The weather was pleasant and cool-not particularly windy- the sky was blue without clouds.

Had some people over for a cookout and I happened to look up and see a white orb like craft hovering at well over 20,000 ft . I live along a flight path for Philadelphia airport and a small local airport in limerick so I was able to judge the altitude. I seen about 4 high flying plains that leave vapor fly under this thing so it was pretty high up. It moved very slow over my house for about 2 hours until it went out of sight. We looked at it with a telescope and spotting scope and we could see white lights on it. Threw the scope it looked like a saucer with lights evenly around the outside with a break in the middle.

We saw two round bright white objects in the daytime sky. They did not move from the spots above our house, for more than 45 minutes. They looked very small due to how high in the sky they were. My husband has pictures of them on our digital camera. One did appear to split in half, then the two parts merged back together, it happened within a second of the split. The other moved a little closer. At times it appeared that the spheres had "tails", but would always resume their spherical shape, and did not move from their positions in the sky. When an airplane was moving in their direction, they moved out of the way of the airplane, then back to their original position. In one of the pictures that my husband took, it appears that there is a line of lights down the center of the sphere.

Saguaro Lake (Mesa), AZ
I will preface this stating I love making amateur art for my viewing pleasure to associate it with my good memories. So I used photo filters on some pictures obviously but I don't think I did on all. One second to last is Bartlett Lake but the rest are Saguaro Lake. I can't even recall when it really dawned on me this is an abnormal object in my pictures. My boyfriend at that time had a cabin cruiser boat and we stayed all night on the boat near that location. I remember thinking the canyon walls were so amazing and had stories to tell. That marks the day I started taking random pictures of all the scenes at the lakes we visited, or I visit, because I was fascinated with the mystery and beauty I hadn't yet experienced in Arizona even though I had lived here 20 years. That same day Saturday, oct 5 2019, we went to a music jam along the dock at a friend's houseboat so we took a few friends out on our boat back to that area of the lake. It was getting to be early evening and the sun would set soon so as we were at the last part of the canyon walls heading SE to the marina/boat docks before hitting open water when we all saw 3 bighorn sheep standing eerily observant at the very edge of the cliff to the north as if they were giving warning yet watching for something to come. It was just a strange day as I reflect back on the date of the picture and the date of the party and the bighorn sheep sighting. That spot was not far from where I took pictures earlier that morning. (*Note - Also reading below to check the boxes, the depth finder on the boat went out there in that area but it happened more than once in that area. I know it happened one other time at Bartlett lake but I have actually had several friends who have mentioned while cruising around Saguaro lake that the depth finder cut out. It's always in what I call middle canyon before shipwreck rock. So I am going to check the box for electrical interference below ) I have more accounts from saguaro lake and salt river that leads downstream from the lake. I don't have specific dates, but i have a date range from late July 2020 to early November 2020. It was during covid, they closed rec areas at the lakes due to COVID and then longer due to wildfires in AZ near the area. I have a friend who can attest to seeing strange objects we actually thought were drones possibly the size of cars that looked far away but as we would pay attention more we could actually see them hovering. We didn't go out with the intention to see anything. We both love being on the water and being at one with nature - especially in the desert on the water. I have a habit of dropping phones in the water so often times I wouldn't take a phone with me so no photos of the car sized drone appearing objects - just my word which offers no credibility. I'm only accounting this for your record on a chance that maybe it will help validate or correlate someone else's story. I'm not seeking anything out of this other than satisfying my curiosity which I realize I could only be so lucky. I know I saw something and I don't have to prove it to anyone for my own satisfaction. Also I can only account for 3 different nights of seeing what I thought were 2-3 drones all with the same friend. It was dark skies every time we saw them, but the objects were almost like dark or reflective as to blend in with the sky and surroundings. We also observed one night by salt river near granite reef, a a wierd tower was to the NW in the desert behind the damn on national forest or reservation land. It had 3 blinking lights but they weren't consistent as if their purpose was to alert air craft and they stopped blinking eventually. I know they had different colors but I can't remember the specifics and don't want to speculate - I remember a random tower with inconsistent blinking lights. I assumed it had something to do with the "car size drone" activity we had witnessed. Each sighting the objects seemed far away then seemed so close and the pattern of flight briefly witnessed was so angular - things don't just fly fast jutting upward at a 45 -90 degree angle in seconds do they? I'm no scientist, nor mathematician, not an engineer or anything close. What I saw could probably be easily explained, and in listening to conspiracy theorists locally, nationally, worldwide it may not be ufo related. The time frame was around COVID, presidential election, escalated and sensationalized government finger pointing and propoganda, news of Jeff Besoz and his recent Amazon property acquisition in NE Mesa not far from the lake and river, in which the same time articles reported of him dumping amazon stock and investing in high tech tracking technology overseas, along with the Elon Musk/Tesla presence in Tempe AZ, Chandler home to Intel, Honeywell, and a ride I had with an Uber driver who can recount words of an engineer from one of the microchip companies stating what takes place in our state would scare us because America is mostly Christian, and their professional work would be viewed as the Devils coming. I speculate and overthink what I saw, I am very open minded, and I am sure there are logical explanations, but I'm not a sheeple at heart and I think it's crazy, ignorant, and insulting to be told or desensitized, and programmed to think we are the only life form that exists. Just to note how we accessed closed land was due to my friend that lives there on a houseboat at Saguaro lake so we launched paddle board, canoe, kayaks from the dock initially. Then saguaro del Norte rec area at the lake and granite reef and other river rec areas opened up again to the public. One thing to note Butcher Jones rec area at Saguaro did not open up for almost another 6 months, so like spring of 2021 maybe longer. This is where we saw the most activity that we truly thought were large drones the size of cars. On January 30, 2021 I also caught another picture on saguaro with a wierd orb sphere off the water which could be sunlight reflecting just like my first pictures. I am going to attach them all. Sorry if I have wasted your time, and I appreciate any further look this gets. Thank you for the work you do.

Saw a very bright sphere move across the sky very, very, slowly. When looking very closely, it appeared to be a disc shape, but the light being emitted was spherical. Then it quickly vanished in the blink of an eye as it if disappeared or had some cloaking mechanism. It was also quiet. Never heard a sound.

1 small and 1 somewhat larger glowing spheres. Seemed to be flashing/sparking/glowing and slowly moving across the sky. Seemed to change colors but mostly had "white" glow and green glow to it.

Los Angeles, CA
Flying in on Delta Flight 3886 LAS to LAX on 10/3/19. I was sitting window on the right side of the plane. In sound mind and body. Not impaired. Saw Goodyear blimp in the distance over downtown Los Angeles. I saw flights incoming from the ocean heading in the opposite direction lining up for landing. I was looking down at the new RAMS stadium which was below me. I looked up and a sphere zoom past the plane, roughly 1/4 mile away at eye level. It was shiny (reflective/not glowing) Below the object looked like a heat wave signature. It was moving parallel to the earth. The heat signature was below it, not behind it thrusting it forward.

I witnessed 10 or 11 spherical glowing objects in formation swarming and hovering near the top of Ring Mtn. -Corte Madera. I very quickly ran up to 2 firemen emergency responders to ask them to quote "take a quick glance at what is going on over here". They flat out refused to take 5 steps over to the side to look at what I was trying to show them. They were handling some kind of a medical emergency, but it would have been really nice to have them witness this because this was highlight of the whole night.

Clarksville, AR
Stepped out into our backyard to let out the dog and when I looked up there was a huge bright white light cirleish in shape coming towards our house from the East. I ran in to grab my hubby and within that 2 seconds the light had went so far up so fast towards the South it had become a tiny little orb of moving light just like all the ones we have been seeing since April of this year.

Denton, TX
Nobody will believe me, i’ve been seeing double digit numbers all the time like, 11:33, 4:44, 2:22 etc. I thought it was my guardian angels until I kept waking up with marks on my body. I had the roman number 6 (VI) scratches next to my eye on my cheek bone. I had the number 11 scratched on my leg. So I did research and other abducties have had similar experiences. I try telling people this because i’m so confused and I want people to hear me out but they think i’m crazy. My and my best friend had previously saw a glowing orb in the sky that disappeared in seconds on September 25th around 8pm. Me and my coworker saw what we thought was a shooting star on September 27th. But here’s the story i’m deciding to report which happened tonight October 1st, 2019 around 9pm. So one night I was working as a pizza delivery guy, and as I was trying to find the customers apartment, I kept seeing double digits and I felt like I was being watched, so I just got really angr! y and fed up and I was like “IF IM BEING HAUNTED BY DEMONS OR ALIENS, SHOW YOURSELF SO I CAN KNOW WHATS GOING ON” and two seconds later my intuition told me to look up at the sky and, A orb of bright light was hovering perfectly still above the clouds, as if it were watching me and as I reach for my phone to try and record it, it zipped away at a speed I can’t even comprehend.. and then later reappeared out of thin air. It was beautiful but terrifying. It moved SO fast my soul was stunned. What is it? Craft? Or Interdimensional beings? Gods? Us from the future? I’m not sure what’s going on but should I be worried that the second I asked “Them” to show themselves, I see a UFO watching me literally right after??? If they get me what do I do? This is a global emergency, what are they and why are they here? I intend on finding the truth.

Elberta, AL
The incident took place at 1900 hours on October 1st 2019 in Elberta, Alabama. He primary witness gazed up into the relatively dark sky when 2 lights were seen moving in on patterns before splitting off and going into different directions were they still maintained strange elliptical patterns. First they would move forward then randomly left to right then circle back then forward again with what seemed to be no rhyme or reason at speeds that would have been very difficult for conventional aircraft. T2 lights seem to be as far away has the Stars as this was not a low orbit event. This is the first incident this witness has reported at this location.

I thought it was a plane initially as it came towards me it's lights looked similar...until it passed over me with a complete striped lit up undercarriage separate from the running lights that seemed to circle it's corner points on the side, similar to a plane's...except it had 2 BIG TAIL LIGHTS. Wide set apart and too far apart to be attached to the tail and obviously not on a wing. The tail lights proceeded to alternate from on, off, just the left on, just the right on, double right only like a wink or Morse code and etc. It was not a set pattern or flashing lights like on all the other aircraft that passes over me. Also the undercarriage stripes light lit up the bottom from nose to tail (which is why I thought it was a plane initially) but that coupled with the circle of running lights on its sides around it after it was headed away from me gave it a distinctly spherical shape as if the lights were separate from a different object within.... Like those gr! avity things they used to have at Chuck E Cheese they'd strap a kid in and then spin a bunch of metal circles separately from the ring you were strapped in spinning in... Then 1 minute later....after my shock at the tail lights seeming to say hello to me...there was suddenly a bright light in the sky that blinked out right after it appeared...almost like a star in the sky suddenly turned on brighter and then blew out like a lightbulb....that was behind me, where the UFO first appeared...because I walked across my field mesmerized watching the tail lights...and then while walking back is when the bright light happened in a flash.

Huntington, WV
While boating on the Ohio river, I noticed what I will call an atmospheric anomaly. My adult kids and grandkids were all present. A thin, high altitude cloud shimmering with the violet wavelengths, pinks, purple and blues. I pointed it out to everyone and passed my sunglasses around to kids. The sunglasses made the colors much more visible and I most likely would not have even noticed it without them. It was quite beautiful and something that I had never seen. My kids described it as being "really cool". I wanted to photograph it, but being so close to the sun I doubted I would be able to capture all the colors. I decided to hold my sunglasses in front of the camera lens on my iPhone. I snapped two pics, perhaps 15 to 30 seconds apart. A while later I decided to look at the pics and that's when I noticed the brighter circular object within the cloud. I know I must have looked at that cloud for 2 or 3 minutes as we floated down the river. I can say with all certainty that the object was not visible to the naked or sunglassed eye. Today I applied a couple different filters that come with the phone. If u look closely to the left of the orb, it seams like there is a shockwave. In the second pic the object has dropped down a good bit and there doesn't seam to be much going on. I figured the cloud to just be filled with ice particles and catching the suns rays just right. The orb thing does however have me dumbfounded and why couldn't I see it? Makes me wonder how much I don't see. I did take a couple more pics the next day, trying to replicate conditions as much as possible. I used the same sunglasses to determine if there might possibly be a flaw in the glass that would account for the anomaly but I was able to pretty much rule that out. Any ideas?

working in utah we were walking out of work for lunch, I was looking at the mountains to see if there was snow because huge cloud were covering them. From what i thought i saw was a break in the clouds was snow, my co worker said that not snow ! what the F is that. it almost looked like a flock of seaguls but there was no way we'd be able to see birds that far away. they were all rotating in a formation going in and out of the clouds! I pulled out my phone and got a short video. hard to see but its there! i screen shot the part where you can see one and zoomed in and its def a round object. silverish white .
