Topeka, KS
At exactly 22:54 , our doorbell cam alerted to motion. I then saw a bright, red, flickering light much like mars looks through a telescope yet it was approximately 1/2 the size of the full moon with the naked eye. I went outside and this ball of light moved slowly across the sky which took approximately 1 minute before vanishing behind trees. This was bright enough to illuminate the driveway and vehicles and I have the video on my doorbell cam but I only know how to send it via email and text. The doorbell cam company is not allowing me to post it publicly for some reason.

While on the beach using a PVS-7 NVG, I was looking at the stars when I noticed what I thought was a satellite moving across the sky. It was going about as fast as a typical satellite and then stopped and loitered in one position for about 3 seconds and then redirected about 45 degrees and continued for a short distance then stopped again for about 3 seconds. It repeated this a few more times, each time moving straight a short distance in a random direction and then stopping completely. It was above cloud height at minimum as I saw it disappear behind some clouds. This all lasted about 15 seconds total before I lost it behind clouds that were moving in. It only looked like a dim light through my NVGs and I couldn’t discern any shape due to distance.

I went out to let my dogs out and i saw this light moving across the sky . Was'nt a plane , could have been a sat. I see these things all the time . All's you have to do is look up . I've seen things in the past that were strange , such as , a light that would travel many miles then stop , then again it would travel a ways then stop again . This was seen by me and my son one night .

Cowansville, PA
Walking home from gas station around 8:45pm. About 1 mile from my home. Its just getting dark, so I'm looking at the sky when over the trees comes the brightest light i have ever seen it moved above me and over me towards the west. As I was watching this light it disappeared. So I just thought airplane moved into clouds but then I saw an airplane same direction but it was a snail compared to the light I saw and I could see it for a very long time after it passed. Also the airplane made noise and the light did not...i dont know what i saw but it was amazing to see

Dansville/Mason, MI
Driving from Dansville Michigan to Mason Michigan. I was with my wife and child. Saw two UFO's in the sky. Each had triple lights in a straight line with a haze around them. Moved around and then disappeared. I initially thought this was a drone. But two of them in tandem with triple lights is very unlikely. Right at sunset wife and I both saw it.

Lake Havasu City, AZ
On Sept 3rd 2020, At about 5:10am I was standing on my patio having my first cup of coffee looking at the sky as I do most mornings. The sky was clear with no clouds or smoke. I see what appears to be a satellite traveling from the south to the north. As I track it, from above it, I see what appears to be a star drop towards the satellite. As the ball of light intersects with the satellite, the light suddenly stops and then richochets off to the north north west. The light looks like any other star in the sky but when it dropped it did not have a tail like a normal shooting star it stayed a bright ball of light. I stargaze most mornings and some evenings and am used to seeing satellites, planes, falling stars and other normal sky views.

Standing out side. I was looking at the sky and a green oval haze was flying through the sky and then vanished. It was visable for 10 seconds moving very smooth across the sky.

Redvale, CO
Around 9:15 on 9/2/2020 in Southwest Colorado, my daughter and I were looking at the sky. We looked North from our home, the moon was on my left. What we saw was a blinking red light moving east. It was low to the horizon, lower than a normal plane would fly. We looked at it longer, and it moved up then back down, then flew straight and at times it appeared to blink and disappear, then reappear a little further away. I watched it for about 20 minutes but it was there a little longer than that. I wish I would have gotten a video, or knew of anyone else that saw something similar!

I had let my dog outside to go potty in the middle of the night and as I waited I noticed a twinkling light above thinking it was a star at first but was moving slightly so I figured it was an airplane because it was moving slightly and changing from an orangey type color to almost a light blue. But then it remained stationary and would do slight hovering movements. I went back inside to watch it from my back window for a while to be very sure that it was moving and then I woke my husband. We watched it remain still for a minute then it would drop a little and go back up and to the side. These motions were very smooth almost like a flowing dance. I watched it for over an hour and a half then chose to go to sleep. It had moved significantly across the sky from the original spot. It was able to do round motions. At one point I saw an airplane cross the path of the object at a different altitude, thinking it might trigger some type of movement for the light obj! ect to leave but it did not, and it confirmed for us the difference between the movements of a plane and this object.

The sky was covered with clouds, so everything I saw was behind the clouds. I saw a small light that gradually approached and started to shine a bit more intensely. Then immediately on a short distance from the light I saw the immediate large flash of light (like we see the switch on the current). It was like 3 times that way: it switched on and off. Then, when it stopped, there were series of radiant balls appearing and going up to a certain point (by 3) and down, disappearing in the sky. It was like 10 minutes that way. It stopped for about 10 minutes. Then in another part of the sky I again saw a small light that started to shine a bit more intensely. There was a large flash of light in that part of the sky and it moved to another part of the sky where there were radiant balls 10 minutes ago. After that I stopped observation and went back home. There were other witnesses with me.

I was riding my pedal bike to the 711 in st. albert,Alberta from near the casino when I was riding my bike from 711 there was a Super Bright light about 1 mile of the ground looking east of century casino the light was very bright it made no noise and was a calm night this light was just sitting completely stationary and made no noise the light was so bright I swear any edmontonians would of spotted this as well In the sky at the same time i did around 420am and 430am. The light had spike streaks coming off it it was bright I stopped and took my phone out and was accessing my camera so that I could capture some pics but as soon as I put my phone up the bright light went out but there was still a real faint object there just floating motionless and it was to faint to pick up on my camera. After about 2 more minutes the object faded into nothing. I know this was definitely not the Edmonton police chopper it was too strange and motionless and no sound. Was very ! strange.

There was a light floating in the sky, moving in circles, completely ignoring gravity as if it was non existent. It disappeared, and popped up in the same place. Moved in a circles rapidly and blinked again. In a matter of seconds.

Lahaina, HI
Looked up and saw a bright light (like a bright star or as bright as a planet in the distance). It was northeast over the nearby mountains (no houses or light back in that direction). It shined bright and moved directly up into the sky. As it moved, the light got smaller but we could still see it moving. Eventually, the light moved too far for us to see it anymore.

Yellow light (moving from West to East) a couple hundred feet off the ground at a consistent altitude. Fast (speed similar to a shooting star) and silent. Had small trail of light behind it.

Late in the morning, there was a large cast of clouds rippling across the sky covering the face of the moon and sky blocking out stars. Close to the halo produced by the moon a ball light mimicking a star moved beneath the clouds and hovered for a minimal amount of seconds as if scouting, and then moved back above the clouds out of sight. As if it was caught in the sky and needed to cloak in the cover of the clouds. This was not a star for it broke the plane created by the clouds and appeared beneath the blanket of clouds and went back into above the casting of clouds.

Curtin, WV
We pulled into the wide spot and I looked up and saw a huge bright bluish white light sitting just behind the mountaintop. I thought it was yhe moon and voiced my opinion. My husband told me to take a good look again. By this time our friend pulled over too. We all sat and watched as the light changed shapes several times along with colors. It reminded us of fire on a mountain except it moved in odd patterns, changed colors from white to bluish whiite to pink to yellow. It changed size from huge to small and back again. Its shape was a ball of light, a mushroom shape, and even appeared to separate into 2 and back into 1. This went on for over a half hour. I took video, as best I could, considering it was on my cheap cell phone. We finally left. As we were heading back into town, we kept looking behind us. We didn't see it any more. The 3 of us agreed that it had to be a UFO. It was unlike anything we'd ever seen before.

Myrtle Beach, SC
Our last night at the beach I was taking pictures of the moon over the ocean. While taking photos I noticed something flash across the sky extremely fast starting from my left field of view to the right. It literally flashed by less than a second. When I checked my photos I found that I caught a pic of the object that I had seen flashing across the sky.

I was walking my dog and noticing how clear the night sky was. Suddenly a ball of light bounced up from the horizon and stopped. I thought I was seeing things and just kept starring at the light. It stood still, so I brushed it off as a star and kept walking, but kept my eye on it, after 20 seconds, the light started zig zagging, thought maybe it was a drone, suddenly the light stopped moving, turned off, and you can see a green light (almost like electricity) flickering where the light was.. after 20 seconds the light came back and lit up the entire sky, from that moment I could tell that the light was actually in space, because it lit up the space around it as if it was some sort of explosion, allowing you to gauge the distance.. and it was reallly far... then the light when back to it's normal light and continued to zig zag before heading east really fast.

Duntroon (Canada), ON · Canada
We noticed a very bright light coming south from the north rather quickly almost like a satellite but a lot lower it was a clear night with absolutely no clouds and lots of stars, once we spotted the bright light and wondered when it was we noticed a cloud around it following right with the light then the light disappeared and the cloud kept moving and we could see a dark thing inside the cloud. The cloud then turned back towards the North. We watched it for a bit and then it disappeared and we could not see the cloud anymore. I took a picture of it and will email it to the email address below.

We were watching the fireworks display put on by the casino here when I noticed a small green light above and to the right of the fireworks. It was just sitting there stationary all during the display. When they were over about 10:20 PM, I kept watching it and it turned red and slowly began to move around, first left and then right and slowly started to move right (Northerly) when all of a sudden it zipped away super fast and kinda went by us, but high up in the air and out of sight. I have a feeling it might have been a drone, as I have not been around them, but I didn't think they went up that high. Anyway, I thought I would report it and see if anyone else saw it and if you could confirm that it was a drone. It was very weird. Thank you.

Alpine, TX
We were driving from Alpine to the camping site in Terlingua on 118, no cars were passing by us. After 20min on the road the my boyfriend told me to look in the mirror to see what was behind us. There was this light that was following the car, we could see that it wasn’t on the road and it was up on the sky. This light got closer and then further. Disappeared for a few minutes and it was back again, moving to the sides. Suddenly, the light disappeared again and when it reappeared it had three other small lights on a straight line by its side. Then the other 3 lights disappeared and this main light continued to follow us all the way to our camping site for more 25minutes. When we got closer to the camping site, it vanished.
