I live in a high-rise building in Weehawken, New Jersey. I woke up in the middle of the night and saw this bright object hovering in the sky above the Hudson River roughly across 86th-89th street of the Upper West Side of Manhattan. As first I thought it was a star, but as I look carefully, I notice the objective was moving and its brightness changes as it moved. Since I don't have a telescope, I couldn't tell the exact shape of object, but it looks circular and it is bright. After 15-20 minutes, the object began to ascend and the light got dimmer. Right before it fully disappeared, I saw another similar object appeared above the Manhattan Island, roughly around the 86th-80th street near the Upper West Side. The object looks very similar to the other one. It is round and it's bright. It hovered over the area for about 10-15 minutes, then it traveled toward downtown Manhattan. It was flying in a straight line, steady altitude, in a speed just faster than a helicopter. I could hear any noise from where I was. It continued to fly in the downtown direction until it has gone beyond the view of my window. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Schertz, TX

I was looking at the sky when I saw a round UFO fly across the sky, and beyond the tree line. It had two sets of long yellow/green lights on the bottom. It was completely silent, though it was close enough that I should have been able to hear an engine. It was very fast, moving quicker than a satellite. The craft did not emit any beam or aura, just four lights. No effects experienced. I live near an airport and regularly see helicopters and military airplanes fly over but never anything like this. This was a flying vehicle that I cannot explain.

Denver, CO

There is a lightening storm without thunder, unlike anything I’ve seen before (still happening at the time of this report) and I was lying in bed watching it. I saw what I thought was a plane going by and was staring at it thinking how much it would suck to be stuck way up there while the lightening was this bad. It had red and green lights with no particular flashing pattern then I realized it wasn’t moving and appeared circular. it was just flying there and the second I thought this, the lights turned red and it moved to the right then the lights alternated and it moves down a bit. I yelled for my husband because I’d never seen anything move like that- it’s way to too high in the sky and far away to be a helicopter. Then, it moved down really quickly while blinking green lights only and very rapidly, faster than it had at all before. It moved so fast down while blinking that it almost looked like it split into multiple vehicles for a second or left a trail of green lights really briefly. Then, it looked as it if disappeared out of my sight like zoomed too far away to see while moving “down”. It was really unnatural movement and in the middle of a lightening storm with no thunder. Never thought I’d be writing a report about a UFO...

Las Cruces, NM

I saw a small light become brighter and as it did another and another and another. A total of 5 lights above the Organ mountains in a straight line. Then it was gone. A few minutes later it happened again in a different spot in the sky.

Ivins, UT

Outside in the desert where there was no light pollution, two people witnessed a craft flying high in the sky in an erratic pattern, very quickly in multiple directions for a duration of about 5 to 7 minutes, it was too far away to record.

Brigantine, NJ

It appeared 0n August 10, 2019, at 9:22 pm above the ocean in Brigantine, New Jersey. It was round with red, green, and white lights. No sound at all it hovered for a few minutes then slowly moved and disappeared into the clouds. It was seen at our beach house back deck above the ocean. We have video of it but it is not that good. We were in shock at what we were seeing.

Charlotte, NC

The object didn't move and we observed it for approximately 45 mins. The object just hovered and didn't seem to move though once it disappeared for a second but then came back. I also face timed a friend to view it as well. The object is still out there.

Valdez, AK

Aug 8, 2019. Where: Prince William Sound, (Port Fidalgo) Alaska Title: Intelligent Light in sky disappears when spotted by observer Duration: 3 minutes Exact time: 11:57pm to 12:00am Weather Conditions: one low lying wispy cloud, slight sunset still on horizon. Few bright stars starting to show. Still night with no wind. Event: I witnessed a bright red/orange light rise up from on top of Bligh Island to my west from my bedroom window. It took 60 seconds to raise up to a stationary position and hovered for 2 mins., then “blinked” out. My cousin also witnessed this from a different vantage point. The light was very bright and seems to be recurring each night. I’ve put out a game camera at to capture 20 second time-lapse intervals to see if it occurs at the same time every night.

Port Fidalgo, AK

Aug 07, 2019 Where: Prince William Sound, (Port Fidalgo) Alaska Duration: Approx. 5 minutes (total) Exact Time: Approx 11:50pm-12:05am Weather Conditions: Few low lying wispy clouds, lots of stars. Still night with no wind. Event: I’ve documented an intelligent light on three other occasions and wrote a report 4-12-18 on the second sighting last year. I’ll post the first and second encounter below. Over the winter of 2018/2019 I set out a game camera to take a photo every hour to try and capture the recurring light that seems to appear in the same location during the night and disappear when seen. I was able to capture what I believed to be the light but the camera does not take the best low light images. Last night I was waiting for the northern lights to come out to photograph with a couple of guests staying with me when a light appeared over Blight Island to the west while we were sitting around a campfire (fire nearly out by this time and a few stars starting to shine). I immediately got excited and pointed it out to the guests where they confirmed on seeing it as well. It formed starting a small light and got brighter turning a red/orange color. The guests commented that the light was pulsating. About 40 seconds had gone by and I told them to keep their eye on it and ran to the office to get my camera with a telephoto lens. As I ran up and turned the lights on to the lodge deck/office I heard them yell that it disappeared (approx. saw it for 1 min). I grabbed my camera and came back and the light was gone. They said as soon as the lights came on the light “blinked” off. At the same time I was walking down the steps off the deck my cousin walked around the corned! to join the campfire and asked what was going on. We told him and after a few minutes of excitement of what just occurred he walked back to his room to get a camera. I along with the other 2 guests sat back down to wait for it to get a little darker in hopes to see the northern lights when the light again appeared again in the exact same spot. I spoke up to say there it is and watched it for about 10 seconds. The other two guests see it as well for another 10 seconds when it slowly starts to disappear and doesn’t get as bright as the first time. Just then my cousin walks up and misses seeing it a second time. We sit out for another hour but don’t see anything else. My cousin and I walk to another cabin and look one last time in the general direction when I spot the light start to form again (approx. 1:30am). As I point it out and grab him by the shoulder to look, it “blinks off” as I call out its location. We wait for another 15 mins but decide to go to bed after ! this. The next morning, I remember that I still had my game c! amera ou t and check to see if the light was captured. Sure enough it was (low quality). But I can now show where in location of the sky it forms and circled it in red for others to see where to look. I believe this is recurring light similar to the Martha lights in TX. But with an intelligence. I’ve seen it over several years now starting in 2016, always in the same spot. Sept 13, 2018 Where: Prince William Sound, (Port Fidalgo) Alaska Title: Intelligent Light in sky disappears when spotted by observer Duration: 1 minute Exact time: 1:37am Weather Conditions: Clear sky, lots of stars. Still night with no wind. Event: I live in a remote part of Alaska and host fishing and hunting guests when a couple of hunters went missing and I had to call the coast guard to find them. As the coast guard chopper came into view they started to search to the west of where we were. As I looked up the coastline from our dock, I watched the chopper looking into different bays and I would run back to the main office (150’) where 3 other people were helping coordinate and to talk to the USCG by phone. As I was running back and forth a bright light appeared out of no where above Bligh Island to my west. I had seen this light earlier in the spring (documented on nuforc last year 4-12-2018) and wanted someone else to see the light before it disappeared. I was afraid to call out from the dock and thought it might disappear and remembered not to focus on looking directly at. After a few moments of not being able to get anyone’s attention in the main office, I looked directly at it to get a better view! and POOF it disappeared. I then focused on the situation at hand and we would later find the two hunters safely camped out on a beach who decided to just spend the night in the outdoors without telling anyone. Aug, 2016 Where: Prince William Sound, (Port Fidalgo) Alaska Title: Intelligent Light in sky disappears when spotted by observer Duration: 30 seconds Exact time: approx. 11pm Weather Conditions: Few low lying wispy clouds, lots of stars. Still night with no wind. Event: I was sitting across from a young man (guest) around a campfire when a light came into view and my first impression was that it was an airplane flying at high altitude that the sunset was hitting lighting it up. Upon pointing it out to the guest he had already spotted it as well and as we both focused on it, it suddenly “blinked out”. We both thought, “boy that was weird” and never thought again about it. This was my first encounter seeing this light.

Corolla, PA

I was sitting on my balcony with my dad and his friend. I was looking at the stars during a conversation and I decided to look through a tree and I saw a small circle in the distance. It was a dark grey and it’s at night. The circle moved across the sky insanely fast. Way too fast for a plane. It didn’t have strobes on either so it couldn’t be a plane or drone. I yelled and pointed and everyone looked we watched it fly across the sky, right over the tree line

Whitsett, NC

I was watching the night sky. Thin, high clouds were racing by against a full moon. Suddenly, the thin ribbons were replaced by thicker, dark clouds. A circle roughly formed, with ribbons of bright blue and silver rippling from the center out to the rim. The disc slowly began to rotate, about as a fast as a radome on an AWACS aircraft. I watched until it suddenly dissolved, then the thin clouds reappeared. I'm a former police officer and US Army veteran. I'm familiar with many types of aircraft including helicopters but I've never seen anything like this.

Birmingham, AL

In the summer of August 2019 in Trussville/Birmingham, AL. my family and I witnessed what appeared to be a Balloon hovering stationary in the sky, then it started to slowly accelerate over some hills before reappearing and accelerating vertically. The object appeared black and circular with no apparent lights or sound. I have some photos as proof.

Deerfield, OH

Seen a ball of light in the distance hovering in place. As for the craft it was emitting and orange/yellow color. In the matter of a split second the craft took off in speeds no capable by anything to my knowledge. It then hit a 90 degree turn in the same speed and was out of sight.
