La Riera de Gaia, TARRAGON · Spain
A satellite like object came across the sky from west horizon heading across the sky towards the east, at about 45° above the west horizon it start to gently veer towards the south and changed direction so it was moving from north to south. Its closest point of approach was at the beginning of its southern track. It was viewed with binoculars and it was very similar in colour and form to an Iridium satellite, however unlike the Iridium it only had 2 light spikes. Also unlike the Iridium orangey colour, this orange was a bit more gold/yellow. It was also much larger than an Iridium and the ISS for that matter. When it changed track from W to E to N to S, it passed slightly below Jupiter and on the beginning of its southern track its magnitude was greater than Jupiter's for a time (> –2.7). There is no way to be certain but the light spikes suggest that it was bullet or triangular in shape. In terms of speed, it was similar to a satellite, however it did appear to stutter at one point as if it hit a couple of speed arresters very briefly. On the beginning of its southern track it also did 2 very slightly accelerations and decelerations back to is normal speed, not major velocity changes but it was visible. It continued along to southern track and then at about 45° above the southern horizon the light seemed to shut off for a fraction of a second and it was gone. It then reappeared in and… it literally accelerated from 0 to faster than the speed of light in the direction of east to west and vanished in a fraction of a second. Even though the event was so brief, it was incredible in so far as you could actually perceive the acceleration and that perception was aided by the fact that the point of light became a thick LINE of BRIGHT orange light which was continuous from 0 to gone. Although the beginning of the line was thick and it became progressively much thinner as the acceleration increased so that by the time it vanished it was a very thin line. Visually it may have seemed like 3 or 4 distinct widths and intensities. The thick starting line of light was still present when the thin vanishing line vanished. The streak of light existed for the entire fraction of a second, all 3 or 4 steps of it. To put the size of the line in perspective, in the sky, it was about the length of your index finger.

Pulling into work, I seen distortion above the laundromat. There were clouds in the sky that made it possible to see there was something there. It was big and slow moving and pretty close to the ground, but still above businesses. I was running late so I didn’t have much time to observe. I just know something weird was there.

I was taking a picture of the moon and I realized there was a craft flying faster than normal because we do have an airport by so I see a lot of planes I took the first picture and you can see it off on the side and then I accidentally took another picture when it's right in front of the moon trying to switch my phone to video and then it caught a short clip of it before it disappeared behind the cloud. This is not the first time I've seen something weird though off my balcony couple years ago on Easter I caught a weird light but I didn't catch a good video of it. It could very well be some kind of test rocket or something but normally those admit sound this was completely quiet.

Looking out of my window at the top of my stairs and also I can see it from my back bedroom window. This same thing has happened atleast 3 other time basically the same each time the red shape has a dark center and when you look into it this things draws u towards looking at it through the back of you're brain straight into is. The object is atleast a mile or 2 away and from where we have seen it it's at least the size of a double decker bus red white and black shimmer not fixed more smokey bubble like and then as soon as I say go and fetch a phone quick or I grab mine we look again In the same place and it's just vanished

I was outside on the back porch of my mountain cabin next to a fire pit when I noticed some lights seemingly stationary behind the trees but high in the air about 1/2 mile away. There are no towers or tall buildings in the area. As I watched I realized the lights were part of an arrangement of three bright flashing lights affixed to a single object. The lights were moving slowly right to left in a northwest direction along the ridge line. They remained about 300-500 feet above the ground, slowing to a near stop briefly and then continuing. There was no sound. The object slowly disappeared behind the mountain top. I was able to capture it on video. This is a second home. I am 53, male, live full time in Atlanta, a licensed attorney and former FBI Agent. I have never seen anything like this before.

Fort Collins, CO
We were at a red light and a very bright light was idle in the North sky. It was too bright to see the size. 2 seconds later it shot downwards at lightning speed and was gone. We later met up with our friends and described the event, which they saw too, in the North sky. They also said that they saw a tennis sized cloudy bubble floating in the intersection. It didn't seem to be affected by the wind, and was hovering in the intersection. They described it as cloudy or milky. All of these sightings occured between 8:05 and 8:10 PM last night in Fort Collins Colorado.

Went on back porch. Wife said "look!" I looked where she was pointing and saw a small bright sort of roundish but not disc shaped "craft". No wings or anything being followed close by a jet. High speed high altitude. Jet had contrails behind it object didn't. They flew above a cloud I could see the object through the cloud but not the jet. Object suddenly changed direction. Jet came out of cloud seemed to lose sight. Jet seemed to spot it again over the tree line and turned sharply to follow leaving an angled contrail in the sky. Object was heading west ward. While in cloud suddenly went north with great speed lost sight as it went past the pine trees across the street. After a 15-20 seconds another jet came by from a southward direction and followed the direction of the object and jet. A 3rd jet came and did the same. I would say the object looked similar to some of the more recent reports that have been recognized by Military as unknown aerial phenomena.

My husband and I were driving south on Clio Road when we saw two extremely bright lights hovering over a popular record store to the right of us. We pulled over into the lot and were watching the lights hover motionless and then suddenly dart around a few times. Other people pulled over, too, and we were all stunned watching. No one could figure out what it was. Suddenly it just shot out of sight, so fast and upward. I am hearing all these similar reports now and wondered if the time period was of interest.

My wife and I were on our way home from work. It was dark and the sky was clear. Suddenly a bright light appears out of nowhere, then another light right next to it, and a 3rd farther away. Within a few seconds they all disappeared at the same time. The never moved, just stayed in the same spot. Our car has a dash cam so as soon as I got home, I uploaded the footage and sure enough it captured it. I also noticed a 4th, dimmer light in the footage that moved insanely fast, turned sharply down, and stopped, but it stayed lit up when the others disappeared. I thought the 4th light was a meteor at first, except it didn't fade away. I've attached the video and a map of where we were and what direction we saw the lights.

My guess is around 4am. I didn't bothered to look at the time on my phone or bothered to pick up my phone to take a picture. I woke up from laying on my right side and I turned to my left side. There was a soft but not perfectly round white light on the extra greenish blanket I had put up on my bedroom window. The light was about 6 inch is diameter or maybe less. It was at the upper right corner of the window. I know I wasn't sleeping because I looked around my room to see where the light was coming from. The light had to be coming from outside. I have blue window curtain, a 49ers throw blanket, black pendleton imitation blanket, and plus greenish blanket that I put up for the evening to block out the cold. I have to say a light source from outside my room penetrated all the blankets or a focused light beam that came from a UFO. That one moment, I thought that maybe it was neighbor's vehicle headlights and he was leaving for work. I closed my eyes, and then I looked up again at this light, it was gone.

We were sitting outside beside a big seeder tree and looking at the stars when at first we saw this big white ball in space going In a different direction and then we saw one very similar not even two minutes after going north of the other one and after that we saw a couple things that might have just been shooting stars but about an hour or so later I was looking directly above me and I saw two white balls perfectly aligned with one another at first it looked like they were gonna go west but the the whole trajectory changed and I watched as it slowly turned east an took off I thought it was a spacecraft that we made at first but then I remembered that we aren't tht advanced yet so I was a little surprised and I had noticed that all the fake reports and stuff come from the city's and the ones tht seem legit come from the rural areas like th suburbs and boonies and ever since then I'll look up into the sky an be wondering what it was

Tonight we observed what seems to be an unidentified flying object. My dad and I were watching adventure time when we heard a loud and abrasive rumbling from above. It was dark out, and we were unable to get a clear read of what the objects body might look like, but there were red and white, blinking white lights. The craft seemed to be shaped, not unlike a disk with its red lights, blinking on top, and below the central part of the ship. The white lights seem to blink, left and right on the craft edge. The craft circle back a three times or perhaps it was multiple crafts crafts, each time quieter and higher in the sky. Drone?

Iuka, MS
Jan 15th at 6:30 pm in the northeast corner of MS. Walking back out to my vehicle to unload groceries, my attention was pulled upward by what looked like a star that quickly became the brightest thing in the sky. This intense light suddenly split into two lights that were traveling in opposite directions. Not exactly but almost dead east to west. The light traveling east sped up more than the west traveling light. After a few moments the west traveling light slowed then moved in many different directions then stopped. The east traveling light never changed directions but dimmed until it’s light went out for maybe a second after going dark you could see the objects outline. It then disappeared leaving the west moving light to seem to move for a bit then stop then move a bit then stop after 15 seconds of random movement it stopped in the sky to appear as another star. I have taken many night photos of the stars from my iPhone. I have never had an issue before but on this occasion my iPhone would not focus at all. The whole screen went blurry and when I tapped on the object to focus on it acted like it couldn’t find an object to focus on.

Around 5:30 am as I was laying in bed I felt something like a presence. Upon looking directly in front of me I noticed something hovering like a cloud once I looked forward there was a large shadow that came from overhead very silent in front of my window and patio. It moved on stealth creating a strange silence and timing all lighting in the area. When I tried to see even closer it taken my my window blind completely black as where I peeked it taken off. I am a bit confused on why it choose to stop or hover near my home so low We live in a top floor unit with children. Is this something we should be concerned about

This black undulating mass. There was no sound. No lights. If floated over a Uhaul facility. It looked at first to be about the size of a person. But it seemed to remain the same size no matter how far it got away from me. I considered that maybe it was a plastic bag. But, it was remarkably steady as it floated around. Unlike a bag in the wind. The black mass floated up over the Uhaul facility (from my perspective at the window). Then it floated east. Toward the Air Force residential housing area. Where it floated up through the cloud cover. Where it vanished. This all happened in about 15-20 minutes. And I watched it the whole time. At one point it flew in such a way that a tree was blocking it from my view. I waited it out. And it came back into full view. At about the half way point of this 15-20 minute time period it was visible to me. I also considered that it might be a drone. But there were no lights. Just an undulating black mass that seemed to change size as it floated. It did not defy physics in terms of flight characteristics. It floated about very smoothly. When I first saw it there seemed to be a bit of a trail. But after that there was nothing but the black undulating mass. I did not attempt to take a picture because I have a screen in my window. I do not know if you've ever attempted to zoom while filming through a screen. But it is not worth the effort.

CHESTERFIELD, MO
I had just gotten in the hot tub and put my head back and from that view I can see the sky over our home. It was a cloudy evening. No stars. I was wearing my glasses looking up at sky. Suddenly this massive object - totally black with no lights came suddenly in view and went right over our house. in a matter of a second or two. So quickly. So large. No sound at all. I was not frightened as it went by so quickly but I kept my eyes up thinking maybe it would come by again. I am 65 years old. I was not under the influence of any drug or alcohol. I have never seen an object of that nature. I did draw it out as it is embedded in my brain. But it's shape was not in the shapes listed. I am in good health. I do not see things. But, I felt compelled to let someone know what I saw last night.

I took a picture of my bird feeder near sunset and in the picture I noticed an emerald green sphere in the sky. When I enhanced the picture it appears to be a spacecraft. The sky was clear.

Looking due east up at the Big Dipper with my family we noticed an extra light. Within the next 30 seconds the light began to move north as if along the coast. While watching this stationary light become mobile, another light went from stationary to mobile & crossed paths with light 1. Clearly no satellite as each object was stationary for at the very least 30 seconds, The movement witnessed was not a perspective illusion as after the object crossed paths with the 2nd object, it completely changed its trajectory and moved 90 degrees sharply to the east. Very odd. - former army aviation veteran 06-2013 - I will file one more report as the weirdest thing happened 15 minutes later.

Whatever it was I saw 1/9/2023 and reported earlier today (1/10/2023) is not there tonight. Can see all the normal plane traffic, and the stars and planets all around that spot in the sky, but nothing spotted like what I saw last night. Just wanted to follow up.

I was outside with friends messing around. We saw a white circle then turn into flames and it went from right to left straight across sky towards Jupiter. Lasted about 8 seconds. Then 5 minutes later we saw just a fireball not a a white circle. But this time went from left to right. Heading away from Jupiter. It lasted 3 seconds apx. I know it wasn’t a plane bc a plane passed by a little later but this was legit a fireball. Then later on after the fire hall went left to right heading away from Jupiter, there was a helicopter heading towards where it went and had spotlights on. I love UFO’s so I may be biased but I know what I saw.
