It was a starless, cloudy night, but a shiny object attracted my attention. With my binoculars, I could see a round object hovering in the sky. It was not moving and I believe it could be there for several hours. it had 2 main big lights surrounded by hundreds of beautiful bright lights. It reminded me of what a city looks like from an airplane. I took pictures.

Anniston, AL
It was a fast moving craft that looked like a fire in the sky but then all the lights went off on it and it was just a black craft flying in the sky. After watching it for a few seconds after the lights went out on it , the craft just kinda faded away and could not be found again. I did get video of it before all the lights went out but it is very shaky and hard to make out.

I observed a white circular light in the sky for about 3-4 seconds before it disappeared. It was very bright straight ahead of me. I would estimate it was at an altitude of 2-3,000 feet.

Bright red circle did not show on my cell phone images only visually. On my cell camera images appeared as a white very small circle as if the moon had shrunk to a smaller size. When I looked at the cell camera images I could see a bright red ring around white circle. ALSO a red line appeared through the white circle. As it got to a deeper brighter red IT just VANISHED.

My friend and I noticed a light brighter than anything in the sky stagnating over Winfrey Park at White Rock Lake. We were too far to see anything with the naked eye, but the light was insane. After about 30 seconds, it slowly flew to directly across from us, over a neighborhood, before it began a 5 minute flight directly into the air. It was at a gradual pace, still much brighter than anything in the sky. We never saw it on the ground. I have a video of it flying. After the 5 minutes, it flew towards us over the lake at a speed that I couldn’t even imagine. Spacex launch form Florida [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Certain]

We were out just before the international space station was to fly over at 9:50 PM Pacific time. At 9:46 I noticed what I thought was the ISS near the star Arcturus (too early) and it was flying straight east the only thing different this object covered the sky from Arcturus to the horizon in about one minute, it takes the international space station 11 minutes to cross the sky. I checked all my online star maps- looking at recent launches and I don’t have an answer, Its description, About mag 0 maybe -1. No sound No course correction. looked like a satellite. (Just so it’s not from North Korea) [NUFORC annotation: Satellite - Probable]

Vela Luka, Split-Dalmatia County, Croatia (Hrvatska)
While having diner, people around us noticed blurred white circled unknown object bouncing in the sky and changing locations fast, being seen on one location standing still, then shifting to another location in the sky. Sometimes it was very visible and sometimes it looked like "it dived deeper in the sky". We were surrounded by people seeing the same object and seeing yesterday's article about British pilot seeing the identicaly described object in the Slovenian sky, we decided to let you know that we also have it recorded. It was definitely not any light play in the sky, as the sky was clear and just before the sunset, the object was strangely changing locations in the sky. In first and second second of a video you can notice whitish circled object on one location, and in 11th second it being seen northeast from the initial location.

I saw the object and began watching it taking photos and videos. It did not appear to be an airplane and it did not appear on the FlightAware app. It was moving in a straight line and was circular, shiny in color, reflective and there was only one. I’m not sure what it is but thought it was worth reporting. In the video an aircraft flew somewhat close by perhaps someone on board is a witness. I did call earlier and I spoke to Peter Davenport about this.

Bear, DE
July 14th 2023, seen a few minutes before sunrise at 510am. We saw a circle a white light at first. The light changed to red, but the object seemed to be hovering in one spot. The light changed to a faded white then it disappeared for a few seconds and reappeared as an orange almost fireball looking ball. then the object started moving. It was moving very fast, but we couldn’t hear anything like you would with an airplane or helicopter. It happened so fast, lasting only 2 minutes.

Had to pull over once I seen what was in the sky! 7 unexplained lights! At one point, there were several more, almost looked like glitter in the night sky! Or like a fairy sprinkled fairy dust! But they were gone just as fast as they appeared! [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

The bright circular shape was traveling at moderate speed in a eastern direction. The object began to slowly dim within approx 1 min as we lost sight. Approximately 1 minute later, the object reappeared but was not as bright and was now traveling in a southeast direction. We lost sight as the object continued to move away and was obstructed by our three story homes.

I took a picture of the morning clouds and sun when I saw the object. The Orange County airport is about a mile away so I didn't pay much attention to it until I looked at the picture once I got inside my office. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Possible]

Lancaster CA, CA
I was laying on the hood of my car, and was looking up at the sky and was thinking about how there could be more out there and in a sense asked myself I need a sign to believe it. I saw an orb in the sky very high up moving very slowly with no trajectory it seemed. Would slowly change direction and it disappeared. After that I saw that same orb or ball fly across the sky westbound at blitzing speed with absolutely no sound. I knew it wasn't a shooting star because I saw one earlier that night and it had a trail of light behind it. This in fact did not. It happened the moment I thought about life being outside of us. I know it sounds crazy but I think it's tied in to what I was thinking. The moment it happened I instantly knew like something or someone told me exactly what that was. This was in Lancaster where Lockheed Martin Northrop Grumman and other facilities are in that town in other military installations within a 30 mi radius. It's no coincidence.

Not sure what we saw. A circular object rose straight up beyond the houses and trees that we can see from our attic window, due East. It was 3.38 am. It went straight up. It had neon green dotted lights with an outer circle of red dotted lights. Sort of like a lit sea urchin, flat side. I could not see its full shape, just the circular lit up part. It rose straight up to above where the moon was, and then headed to our right in a straight line (South). There was no sound that we could hear. Not sure if it was a UFO or not. I have not seen anything like it before, and did not see anything like it on the web either.
