On 06/14/23 at about 10:20 pm I noticed a bright object in the sky toward the town of Rumey. At first I thought it was a helicopter because it stayed in the same place but it seemed close enough that I would hear it if it was a helicopter or any type of aircraft but it was silent. I used my bonoculars to see it and it appeared to be rectangular in shape and had what looked like arms or legs with lights from the bottom and a dome type of shape on the top. After looking at it for a few minutes all the lights shut of and I could no longer see it but after a few minutes the lights came back on and I observed it for about 10 minutes and went inside for the night, On todays date 06/16/2023 at about 10:00PM The object appeared again and I had my girlfriend look at it and she confirmed what I saw.

It had just turned night. Riding in SUV. To the south, at about 2,000 ft; noticed a large round object, made up of smaller red, white, blue round parts . Appeared to be 3-4 miles away. Was very clear and sharp; clear skies.

Saw this in the sky from my deck off of my kitchen. It was just shiny, so I snapped a pic and when I zoom in, it's not a plane.

I was trying to look through the plane window at San Francisco bay. A few minutes to land and I saw clearly a sphere metallic object flying against our direction. It was 5 seconds at least. It was fast. I have never seen something like this, I'm not sure what was that .

I was driving on or 62 in white city Oregon and I saw something that was hovering over the vehicles ahead of me and it was making it's was towards my vehicle. It was not traveling in a straight line, rather it fluttered around like a fly would. This thing was changing shape as it traveled and was so reflective i can't describe it because i have never seen something that perfect. It had no lines or real shape as ever time I let my eyes off it for a second it changed a bit. I stopped to get my phone out and 2 seconds later it was gone.

I was drinking coffee on my deck at approx 4:30 am when I saw a triangular shaped craft slowly approaching from the east. Memphis airport is 12 miles east of my home so I’m used to seeing jets every morning. However this object had colored lights above and brightly lit white light covering the entire bottom. It made no noise at all. It was traveling directly over head at approximately 300 feet. It was very low. It took approximately 3 minutes from sighting to be out of my view. It did not stop and hover but kept going in a north east direction slowly. It was not huge triangle but about the size of a Cessna 10 seater. There was no sound at all.

We counted 15+ flying objects with lights flashing red and green and sometimes stopping in the sky and flashing white. They flew in and out of our viewing window and up and down and stopped unexpectedly. 3 of them at one point flew in a triangular formation and started blinking simultaneously. We videoed some of them with our iPhone At times it looked like the object behind the lights was somewhat much bigger than we could see clearly, cloaked in some way. It’s hard to explain but they were certainly not planes nor drones. A few of them seemed to appear suddenly on our left. All of the flying objects were moving inland/north (we leave on the coast)

Very clear summer night with great visability of the night sky. Could see all stars overhead. Object was really high up, well above the altitude of comercial passenger jets or military aircraft. Object travelled from west to east, was not the ISS(as checked ISS tracker) and was not as bright as the ISS. Viewed the ISS many, many times from my location and can normally have very bright visual contact for around three to four minutes. There were no flashing lights to indicate an aircraft of any sort. No sound or sonic boom(which I would expect from something moving many times faster than the speed of sound.) It disappeared before entering the Earth's shadow. It was directly overhead. There was no trail to indicate a merteorite burning up. It seemed impossible for something to travel so fast given the altitude. If an aircraft passes near our location we can normally hear it after it has passed. It was my 19yr old Son and I that witnessed the object. Also, last summer, the two of us(my Son and I) witnessed another object travelling really, really fast fly overhead and made a very sharp 90 degree angular turn which defied everything I know about physics and the capabilities of aircraft travelling many times faster than the speed of sound. Did not have time to take any pictures as was sat in a hot tub at the time of both sighting and always lay, looking straight up as we have a great view of the night sky. Hot tub was not warm enough to cloud our vision with steam as it was kept quite cool as it had been a very warm day and we needed to cool off a little.

About a year ago or there about, I started seeing these lights in the sky, all of red, green and blue color and I seen as many as 9 at a time as far as down to 2 at a time, and not all in the same part of the sky. I've seen many, many satellites and that is not what they were, there is not that many in the sky at the same time and everyone knows what stars look like, and it's not stars. I've watched them for over a year now, they are not airplanes, when they move they are to slow for planes, and they don't always move. Well a few nights ago about the beginning of the week, I used a green laser light and shined toward them, and just after I did, I seen one appear in the middle of the sky out of nowhere, I kind of laughed it off, but did think it was odd, so the next night I tried it again, twice and after each flash I saw more, so Thursday night I did it again, and I only saw one, well when I came back in the house I was walking from the kitchen to the living room, and all of a sudden I heard this really loud, loud whirling sound and I thought what the hell is that and I ran back out to the deck and not to far above the tree tops, I seen one of the objects shoot through the sky, I still wasn't able to see the shape of it, but right behind it was a helicopter, and I know for a fact whatever it was the copter was chasing it. So finally last night I had my wife go out with me, and I shined the laser at one again, and one came through the sky, and I did it again and 3 more, one behind the other came through the sky, and we waited just for a minute and without me even doing the laser again 2 more came, we both agreed too slow for planes, no helicopter sounds, and some were making a up and down rollercoaster motion. All I can do is call them UFO's because we know they are not planes, not helicopters. Thank You

At approximately 2241, on the night of June the 14th, 2023, my significant-other and I stepped out to our front porch to smoke and within the span of just one or two minutes, heard and witnessed the speedy passage of a massive craft. We thought at first, due to the sheer apparent distance between guide-lights, that it was two helicopters flying with something suspended betwixt them. However I believe the lights we saw were too coordinated in their movements to indicate anything but a single craft. Visibility was however, low due to the streetlamp opposite the house. I could just vaguely make out the outline of the craft. As it appeared to me it seemed very like a submarine or zeppelin. I'd wager it was prop driven, given the sound. It approached from the South, approximately heading Northward, with a spotlight beaming down from the fore. Given the search-light I was hesitant to try to take a photograph, let alone the poor visibility and my potato-phone.

Driving home from work. 4:15pm. Clear blue sky. No clouds. See shining orb type light. Then starts to flicker. Thought just the sun reflecting off a plane. Then the light got bigger and started flickering. Then got even a bit larger, then reduced in size from the outside inward.Then vanished,nothing there. No plane to be seen. While trying to not run off the road, I looked where the light was, then it appeared. A rectangular shaped object, angled on the ends. Silver with both ends a gold color. Then in shock of what I am seeing, it then disappeared. But this is where it gets freaky. The object vanished not by flying away. This thing disappeared from one side to the other. While remaining stationary, it vanished from right to left. Like erasing a line on a chalk board with an eraser. This thing turned invisible while I was looking at it. Gave me the chills. I still look up in the sky now when driving on clear days. I would love to get a video of this. But this whole ordeal was only about 30 seconds or more, and I was driving. I now know, 100%, I saw an aircraft that is not from this planet. Have yet to tell anyone.

My family and I were driving from St George, UT to Mesa, AZ. We were on the US-93 highway when I noticed a black rectangular object out of my front windshield flying over my car about 400-500 ft above it. It "flew" over my car and towards the right and I screamed out to my family to check out what it was. My two sons in the backseat saw it and tried to take a picture but they said it slightly expanded and then just disappeared. It made no noise as far as we know and had no markings or lights. There were no wings or propellers.

My supervisor is the one that saw the objects first than he told me to look up and see if I could describe what it was. So I grabbed my phone and started recording to zoom in. I did see the 3 objects moving in different patterns. When I went back to my video I noticed that in some parts my phone was recording the floor and I perfectly remember that my phone was not facing the floor at all but on the video it shows that I did. That was very scary and strange to me.

It was about 1am and I went outside to smoke on the terrace in the garden. From the back of the house there’s nothing but meadows a river and lakes and at night it’s really dark as there’s no street lights etc as it’s extremely rural. I turned the outside light on and was smoking, and about 2mins into smoking I look directly above me / up at the stars, and one was much brighter (about 30%) than all the others. Like a white blue colour. As I was looking at it, it turned off like. It was switched off. The light (shrank) minimalized inwards and turned off, so I looked down and thought “huh that doesn’t normally happen” then looked back and it was in a different place in the sky. Same area, but not where it was before. Same light intensity, same brightest star. Then it turned off again in the same way. When it did, this horseshoes shaped spiral, light trace, in an amber colour, like light trail, flash up and then faded. I then looked straight ahead, not understanding what I just saw and over the fields / horizon I saw a shooting star, but not as bright and much faster shoot from my left to right away from me over the fields and over the horizon then fade away.

Checking horses before headed in for the night, my 9 year old son began screaming about lights in the sky that were blinking. I went out of the barn and looked up to see a VERY slow and low flying rectangle shaped object. The lights along the bottom were in a line, bright LED white, and illuminating the bottom. Bottom appeared to be dark gray. Husband, a Navy Vet, came out because of the yelling and saw the object as it crossed over our property to the adjacent property and passed by/over a radio tower and continued north east over I-69 and towards Angola and the Indiana/Ohio/Michigan border. 100% WAS NOT STARLINK, we've seen that several times and this was way way way lower, brighter, and had body to it. Husband estimates it was flying at maybe 20,000 feet. The dogs and horses have been EXTREMELY agitated since the sighting, especially the broodmare that has a foal at her side.

My roommate went out to walk his dog and called me on my phone to tell me to go outside and look at something in the sky. At first it looked like an asteroid was coming to hit earth then i realized it was going away from us. It looked like a planet like mars or jupiter but it was much bigger and traveling very fast. I could see airplanes in the night sky and compared to them it was traveling much faster. It had a huge perfectly square or rectangular trail behind it that was glowing orange with these weird 90 degree swirls inside the trail that were also glowing dark orange. I asked my roommate how long he was looking at it and he said a minute or two but it had started in a completely different area in the sky than it was when i was looking at it. He said it had changed directions and thats why he called me to come look at it. I tried looking up meteor showers or anything like that in my area and couldnt find anything. I am usually someone who wouldnt believe in UFOs or anything like that but this was just so strange. The size of the trail and how it was so perfectly straight and square with those shapes in the trail i just cant wrap my mind around. My roommate tried to record a video but it was too dark for his phone to capture anything. I am very interested in trying to find sky camera footage of it so I don’t go crazy.

I was driving home from being on the road for a few days for work. Me and my husband were in the truck together at the time. We turned down Brookfield Road and we were discussing a restaurant at the time. As we turned onto Wisconsin Avenue, and approached our home, near on 183rd I looked up and I see a colorful object far up in the sky. The second I saw the object in the sky I said to myself that it didn't look like anything I had ever seen. It was up very far but I still could see it clearly. I then asked my husband "what am I looking at"? He looked at me and saw me looking up and then he nudged his glasses to his nose and said, "a UFO"! He had a look of shock on his face. I then had a small panic. I said pull over, park, get out of the road. Because there was a vehicle right behind us. While I looked in the side view mirror and told him to get out of the road and then look back up it went up and disappeared. My husband then parked and we walked back to the corner or the parking lot and it was totally gone. The object had lots colors on it and it was circular in shape, it had also had headlights pointing to the northwest of where I seen it at. It was surrounded with clouds. I came into the house and told my family and called the police several times. The dispatcher laughed at me and said an officer would call me. I had missed calls from him so i called to report it again. He then called me and when i told him he said OK thanks for calling us and hung up. I felt dumb, but I still had to report it. The times I called the police were, : 06-13-23 10:24p.m. 06-13-23 10:38p.m. 06-13-23 10:39p.m. I received the call back from the officer at 10:48 p.m. Thank you

The object moved positions in the sky and seemed to change shape. We took photos with a cell phone with Space Zoom. It was really bright and seemed to emit an aura.

I was walking my dog in Brompton Cemetery (Earls Court, London, UK) when I heard a helicopter fly by (I see one almost every time I go there because the cemetery is across the street from a police HQ center). When it passed, I noticed something floating in the sky. At first I thought it was something hanging from the tree...like a bug...because it was very still and there was a tree over my head...but then it started moving from left to right very slowly. I could not tell if it was white or shiny silver....the color seemed to be a mix at times. Could have been changing colors? Or it could have beena reflection due to the sun? I looked down to grab my phone and when I looked up it was gone. I turned my phone on and looked up again and it was there again but looked like it stalled? It either moved very slowly or was not moving at all. I am not sure if I kept losing sight of it because it was bright outside? Took two photos and then I looked at my phone to switch it to video. When I looked back up it was gone and I didn't see it again. Well, I thought I saw it a few minutes later but it was way too far away and in the opposite direction so I might have been imaging it? There were tons of commercial planes flying across the park at the time. I thought the shape was like an oval balloon, but when I zoomed in it kind of looked like something was hanging from it? Reminded me of a jellyfish. There is a second black/translucent object in the zoomed in photo (taken like 5 seconds after the zoomed out one) - I actually did NOT see that one with my naked eye. I only noticed it when I was reviewing photos later. I thought it could be dirt or dust...but am unsure why it wouldn't have shown up in the zoomed out photo as they were taken right after each other. The day was hot, cloudless, and had a slight breeze. The sun was really bright and there were no clouds for orientation, so that could have affected my vision. There were also many planes flying by, which is normal for that area. There were a few crows flying around as well. The objects were much higher than the helicopter, but I am not sure if they were as high as the commercial planes? [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Probable]
