A black round ball. Shiny. Moving very slow below the clouds. Faint aura that looked almost electric. No sound. The black color was unusual. It moved with a slow glide and not like a machine. It went from west to east and I watched for a good 3 min.

A co-worker and myself where driving home from a out of town job. He pointed and showed me what look like a commit (sic. comet) up at a angle. It was a glowing orangish sphere with a red tint with a tail looked like a commit, but it looked like flame from a turbine/jet eingine. It took up the entire width of the sphere which seemed odd to me and was coming out to about doune the sphere. It was going upword ar a 45° angle. It then went straight and in the north direction. Then the tail disappeared and it was a glowing ball of orange and red. It than vanished and reappeared at a much farther away by about a 3rd of it's size than kept going north than would blink and reappeared in a South that north agian in what appeared to be a strait line. Than dissapeared completely. It was about to put the size of a nickel or quarter the first time than about the size of a dime the 2nd part. I am near sighted and did not have my glasses on, so the shape and size would be slightly off but not much. I was a U.S. Marine for 9 years and at one point on the aviation side and from what I have seen and know it is impossible for a aircraft to move and stop thrusting and go in the opposite by direction is impossible at this point in time. I also got out in 2013 so I believe my frame of reference should still be pretty accurate.

My names karl. Back in about 2019, me and my father were driving home from my Saba’s. We were driving somewhere on (I think) i95, pretty close to the airport. We saw maybe about 20 orange/reddish dots in the sky (similar to the ones seen in that new documentary, which is what made me remember the event.) the dots started off in a line but gradually spread out into a random pattern. After, they disappeared pretty much instantly. Maybe about a few months later (could have also been a year, I’m not sure anymore) I was on a walk with my family when I suddenly got a peaceful feeling. I looked up and saw the same dots in the sky again, but it was less that time, maybe like 3 or 4. Then they disappeared again. I’m trying to look for the videos and images I have right now, if I find them I’m gonna fill out this again and provide my evidence. I should add, I don’t want to provide any personal information about myself so I don’t want to put my address, phone number, real name, email ect.

On 28 Feb 2019, at 1615 Hrs I was outside taking photographs of passing airliners using my Nikon CoolPix P900 (Superzoom) camera. The sky was clear & bright blue with some high-level haze and thin high-altitude clouds. The temperature was about 35 Deg F. At roughly 1624 hrs, I noticed a bright orb-like light or object appear to my right at 75* elevation, moving from right to left. Speed was moderate. As the orb moved, it slowed considerably, almost to a stop, seemed to emit or discharge some type of liquid or mist that dissipated in the atmosphere, continued for another couple of seconds before it abruptly faded from view. The liquid or mist was not a flare or fireball. Before fading, I quickly lifted and pointed my camera without using the viewfinder and took some photos in the general direction of the object. The orb did not leave a contrail like an airplane or make any sound/engine noise. I continued observing the sky and taking pictures of airplanes. Then, around 1700 Hrs, as I was facing due west, I noticed the same (or similar looking) glowing orb again suddenly appear in my line of vision, 30* elevation, moving straight down before fading away. There was no contrail or noise. I again quickly raised my camera and took some shots as it was moving downward, thinking I might catch something. Later, while reviewing my pictures, I discovered that I had managed to capture a total of four photos showing what seem to be the objects, two from the first sighting, and two from the second. I am an Army vet, and I am quite familiar aircraft recognition. I have also been observing aircraft with my photography for about a year now. I am quite familiar with how airliners, drones, helicopters, birds, stars, planets, meteors and errant mylar balloons look, in life and in my photos. I can say, with all the sincerity that I have, that the objects I observed were none of these. I do not know what they were, but they were highly unusual. Total observation time of both objects was approximately 15 seconds total.

Vancouver (Canada), BC · Canada
I am writing to you with respect to the above subject which occurred on February 24, 2019 at or around 1500 taking place over the Stem cell Technology facility located in Vancouver, BC. This unusual craft was brought to my attention by a person passing by. I observed this craft with other witnesses. I captured this on my tablet but it’s difficult to make out. It appeared to be metallic, circular in shape, no sound, it had what appeared to be white lights on the bottom of the craft that would illuminate the under airfoil – the lights looked like the large LED lights you see on the big screen TV in stadiums for say a hockey game, and it seemed to be moving incredibly slowly. This craft had no navigational lights (red & green), no tail, no wings, no visible landing gear, no visible windows. Their were other aircrafts in the area that we could identify and see that they were from Harbor Air & they were fixed wing float planes that appeared to be diverting from the area. At or around 1504 the craft just disappeared. I have raw video in HD. Some people who witnessed this event made all kinds of conjecture, saying it could be drones, could be “demonic” or “inter dimensional." It sure didn’t look like a helicopter & it didn’t have any wings, no markings (identifiable call sign, company logo), no sound & the other aircrafts turned the other way, literally! I am former student pilot from CZBB and I have experienced “unusual traffic” before but never have attempted to capture the event. Just happened to have my tablet available. *In the videos the craft appears to be this flashing white circular small objet. It’s hard to see in the video but in person it was much larger & more visible. In the still images it’s hard to see, but it too looks like a small white bright circular object. Hopefully you or someone can get something out of the videos with an in-depth analysis.

Virginia Beach, VA
My son and I were sitting in the car in our driveway. We had just arrived back home from doing some errands. While sitting in the car I pointed out the clouds overhead and told him that it looked like an alien. We both laughed and I decided to take a picture of the clouds to show his younger brother. It was amusing. We went inside and then carried in the rest of our groceries. As we sat down and looked back at the photographs (one taken right after the other), we noticed that there was an white orb in the sky and that it had moved from its location in the first picture to another location in the second frame. They were both snapped at the same time, one right after the other with my cell phone. Neither of us saw the orb in the sky at the time, it was not the moon -- the moon doesn't move, plus we went back outside to look up at the sky to see if we could see the object. It was gone. It looks like there are lights inside of the orb. Very strange.

Garner, NC
Many circular orbs of white light flying in in the constant elliptical shape. We followed the orbs until they were above us and the orbs started to move closer to each other then towards and above the vehicle. Orbs were flying to a point at one speed and then shooting off to the other point faster. There were two groups of orbs and when they came together they seemingly formed a figure 8. He started feeling uneasy so we left and shortly after the right no visible orbs in the sky. We drove away 15 minutes and the orbs reappeared over the car and stayed around that area (White Oak Plaza) as we drove away. One of us is a believer the other a sceptic. A friend in Smithfield saw at least one behind the trees, as well.

Two glowing spheres seen in sky north of the airport at first moving together in the same direction. Emitting yellow to orange light which was very different than the lights of a jetliner that was on approach to the airport. Both were coming towards us, but then at different times, they changed, and started moving away. Source of report describes herself as a medical professional. Witness provides high-quality video, which shows two orange lights, moving from right to left across the field of view of the video camera. PD

Lots of drone looking objects in the sky going back and forth. Noticeably not airplanes or helicopters. The lights vary from LED looking lights to yellow lights. Been seeing it for multiple nights in the same area around the 8:30pm. One of them got pretty close and looked similar to 3 light orbs organized in a triangle formation. Really weird.

Driving South toward Riverton, saw 8-10 lights off different colors (orange, blue, green). They were moving North and at varied altitude. Watched them for approximately a minute and then they were not visible any longer.

A man happened to be jogging by me while I was seeing this and I stopped him to ask him what he thought it was. He was as perplexed as I was. I continued to photograph the object. It appeared to move extremely slowly and was leaving a cloud like trail behind it. There were no lights. There was no sound other than the sound of the water and at times I would seem to blend into the sky and then reappear. I would put the object somewhere over Long Island sound or over Nassau County, NY. I have at least 30 still shots taken with iPhone 10s Plus 256. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be quite sober-minded and eloquent. He occupies a very responsible job, and we suspect he is an exceptionally qualified, and reliable, witness. PD

Hollywood, CA
At approximately 18:00 hours, 6:00P.M. PST local time, I was sitting on my couch in my apartment when I noticed a circular well-lit red object, with a flashing green light beneath it, zip at a very high rate of speed across the horizon from south to north at an extremely accelerated rate. It was at a modest altitude, clearly visible, approximately 3 to 4 miles due West. It then began a series of aeronautical maneuvers directly over Hollywood Blvd. to the South, and Franklin Avenue to the north. It then returned at that same high rate of speed then stopped in a totally frozen hover above Hollywood itself. I opened my sliding glass door to my balcony to hear if it made the sound of a helicopter. It made no sound whatsoever, all the while flashing a green light under its carriage. It then accelerated straight up approximately 1000 feet immediately, again at extreme rates of speed, then began a series of ascending and descending aerobatic moves from a dead stop in both horizontal and vertical motions. It in no way acted like a drone, helicopter, small aircraft, or military aircraft. From my perspective it appeared to be the size of a small dirigible but not as large as a blimp. It moved both smoothly, and dramatically quickly, far faster and more dynamic than any other aircraft I have seen. It was able multiple times to stop on a dime and hover silently then accelerate to different altitudes and horizons on a grid. And then quickly accelerated to the West and out of my visual range. As a previous witness in 1978 of a translucent orbed object over the night sky of Simi Valley, California, I have had previous experience with be unique movement of these craft. My sighting this evening falls into that category. I also know of one other individual who has seen and photographed an unidentified object in this same area a number of years ago, one that she shared with me that I was privy to. Whatever this may have been, I felt it imperative! to report this at once on your site. Thank you for all the work you do. I will continue to do mine. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Mr Davenport, I just filled out a report regarding an object I saw over Hollywood this evening. Upon further investigation, it appears there was a large-scale drone show at the same exact time which I was not privy to. My most sincere apologies. I'm extremely embarrassed that I didn't do a full investigation before reporting it on your site. I take great pride in my ability to distinguish these things. Best wishes.

Smyrna, TN
I walked out of my work shed saw what looked like a star but caught my eye with multi color type pulsing. Observed this object shoot upwards a significant distance then a few seconds shoot back down. Then it shot straight over to the right then back upwards again at great speed. At one point it completely disappeared and almost immediately reappeared way over to the left of where it had been. Physically impossible for any conventional aircraft to perform such maneuvers as it would impose incredible G-force on the object. Called my wife to come down and witness this behavior which continue for another 5 minutes then the object disappeared. It was quite a show. Honest to God all true and no plane or planet, this was real.

I was driving near the hospital in Alamogordo New Mexico and noticed about 10 orange to red orb type ufo's. All 6 people in the car saw them as well. The minute I stopped and started trying to record them with my phone they started to disappear and were all gone from site within a minute of recording.

But saw lights green and white metal object moving into view about 50 ft away, 15 to 20 hovering slow above the pavement, straight forward flying slow, first I thought it maybe helicopter but no sound except the wind it was cold windy last night.it was dark and object seam to be as big as truck, but not tell it shape, looking through the trees. No way possible helicopter could fly that close to trees and power wires that low, not possible. It hovered there maybe 30 seconds 50 ft from me. I started feeling kinda weak and dissy, like going off the deck.then it hovered down the above the road and pick up speed not fast flew back house ma! ybe 500 yrds stoped hovered again for 30 to 45 seconds moving slow. Then shot to top of mountain, half mile super fast , gone 1 second. It looked round with green and white lights. As seen flying up at that angle.

Hayden, ID
My daughter and I were leaving the house and looked up at the stars and there was a brilliant white light or globe in the sky moving very fast but erratically; then it would just slow down almost to a stop and just stay stationary. Then it started to move again fast and as it moved forward it began to dim then the light turned red then dimmed more and then disappeared .

Fredericksburg, VA
While driving west at night, on rt. 3, about five miles east of Fredericksburg, Virginia, I watched two blue-green light-emitting spheres, flying fast, in tight formation, about 600 feet above the ground, from the southwest toward the northeast. The blue-green lights were unusual and quite beautiful and reminded me a little of 'lava lamps.' They were followed immediately by a pursuing aircraft with familiar, man-made looking navigation lights. This all took about four seconds. I never heard a sound from any of the lights' sources. Note: I submitted this report earlier but nuforc listed it as happening on December 24, 2019 instead of January 24, 2019. I decided to bring this to your attention after I noticed that similar sightings in Virginia had also occurred in January and I thought it was important to clarify. Please delete the previous report, listed on nuforc as 12/24/19. Reports Deleted as Requested
