Penrose, CO

Driving east on hwy 50. A bright orange sphere appeared in the sky. Then two spheres came out of the first one evenly spaced and in a single line. The first sphere disappeared and two more appeared from the last one. lT disappeared suddenly as if shut off. they appeared and disappeared they did not move in any direction that I could make out. No aura or haze could be seem around the objects.

Austin, TX

At approximately 1:00pm, I was in the front yard and saw a small metallic orb. It was towards the sun and reflected brightly, as an airplane would. Distance and altitude is unknown and was unable to be judged. It shot right then left then right at break neck speeds then stopped. It -was not- an airplane etc. (I know the difference between terrestrial or man made objects and "UFO's".) I ran inside to grab my binoculars and went to the back yard. Within the 15 seconds this took, the object was gone. I scanned the sky for a considerable amount of time. Any airplane would have still been in the proximity for the 15 seconds it took to run through my house.

Pittston, ME

My friend and I were driving home and we noticed a bright light in the shape of a circle, moving slowly and then about half a second later moved faster than anything I’ve ever seen before and went away in the distance. I got home and my mom pulled in right behind us and I said something to her and see saw the exact same thing. At first we thought it could of been a star because we thought no way we just saw something like that, but we then came to realization that maybe we did. It is also cloudy out right now and you can’t even see the stars that well and it was a lot lower than the clouds.

Pine Springs, TX

I was flying on Southwest 2168 on 16 January 2019, flying between Las Vegas, NV, and San Antonio, TX. While admiring the beautiful Guadalupe Mountains National Park in West Texas, my eyes settled on an aircraft that soon entered my field of view. It was haze gray in color, spherical or perhaps saucer-shaped, and hung in the sky to the left of my plane at about 20 degrees below the horizon. As it drifted under the wing I tried to make out the direction it was traveling or any wings I could discern but could not. My plane's wing eventually obscured the object and I was unable to relocate it. I thought it was just another aircraft until a just few minutes later when an approaching airliner flew safely past my plane, streaking contrails as it did. It was only then that I realized the object I had seen had produced no contrails whatsoever and may have not even been moving. The sighting occurred about 9 AM CST. SWA 2168 was flying at 41,000 feet and was somewhere south of Pine Springs, TX. I estimate the object was 5-10k feet below my plane though it is difficult to gauge the size/distance of something unfamiliar.

Oakdale, NY

Watching television (Seth Meyers Late Night Show) in living room on couch beside shadeless window which overlooks open wetlands. +/- 00:40AM, a bright light green colored glowing sphere about the size of a basketball from my point of view became visible approximately 50' above the ground, perhaps 200' away, instantly appearing against a dark sky. The object descended rapidly below treetop level within a group of trees to approximately 20', made a 90-degree turn and sped off in a southerly direction showing a slight bright white haze on the trailing hemispherical north-facing side, but after perhaps 200' of perfect horizontal travel, the object disappeared or went dark itself. There was no associated noise as would be heard with a drone. It was silent. I ran outside, but no sounds could be heard, no object could be seen. No aircraft in the area at the time. Incredible experience. I wish I had my camera on hand. This is all the information that I can r! ecall.

Tequesta, FL

Observed a single, orange-glowing saucer-shaped object traveling fairly rapidly from south to north in the western sky approximately 45 degrees above horizon just to the right of the moon. Object was visible for a full 5 minutes until it traveled out of line of sight.

Keswick, CUMBRIA · United Kingdom

Clear sunny january day, sat outside caravan on campsite about five miles outside keswick, when we noticed a glowing ball in the sky ahead of us, travelling in a straight line then changing direction at both right angles and obtuse angles leaving what looked like a vapour trail behind it. Not a chance this was any craft built by humans given the speed and immediate angular directional changes. Observed for around ten minutes until it just disappeared leaving the angular trails in the sky. No images were recorded as we were mesmerized with the movement of the object.

Maryville, TN

i went outside for a smoke at about 1am, it was cold so i sat in my car and went to crack the window. when i looked out the window, i noticed a super bright “star” in the SE direction .. stars aren’t that bright are they? they’re not that big either. they definitely don’t change size and color, right? it seemed to be getting brighter and bigger so i pulled my phone out to record. i zoomed in, spotted the light, and saw that this star-like form was now a giant glowing ball that looked like something off of freakin jimmy neutron. it was a defined circle, glowing white on the outside but a staticky and colorful orb on the inside. i’m still not sure of exactly what i saw that night, i got scared and went inside. 30 minutes of the experiencing unknown was enough for me. i have continued to try and put the thought out of my mind, but at this point i know that there is something bigger than us out there and i need answers

Forked River, NJ

I was driving to work, southbound on the Garden State Parkway, at approximately 6:45am, between Toms River and Forked River. I saw a spherical white object coming down, or so I thought, initially I thought it was falling, but the longer I looked, which admittedly wasn't very long, I realized the object wasn't falling, it was flying at high rate of speed south or southwest,and then it was just gone. When I say gone I don't mean it disappeared, I mean it just flew that fast out of sight. I'm very familiar with planes and helicopters in my sky, I grew up very close to LaGuardia airport, I currently live in the vicinity of Macquire Fort Dix joint base in Lakehurst, and most recently I had a fighter jet pass over my apartment earlier last year when it was scrambled to President Trump's NJ golf club, so planes and other man-made objects I'm familiar with. I've seen meteorites, as I tried to explain to myself what I had just seen, I wrote that off because there was no tail trailing. If it was a jet fighter, at the speed I saw this thing moving, it would have probably created a boom, and I don't believe they're allowed to fly that fast in residential areas. There were also no flashing red or blue lights.

Note there is no trees or street lights to block view or reflect light, just open skies and sagebrush.

Oakland, CA

LOCATION: on a plane heading in Oakland CA, had to be 30 mins before landing. .WITNESS: not only person who saw it, the person in front of me saw it and also took pictures. SIGHTING: looked out the window because the person in front of me thought they saw something strange. There was an orb of light following the plane out of the right side a decent distance from the wing. It was level with the plane and we were still at an altitude that wHere no man-made object was build as well as being over unoccupied land. it stayed generally the same distance for the 13 minutes it remained with the plane and changed altitude and shape once or twice. we went through a few clouds and it followed, we went through one big cloud and it was gone. THOUGHTS: thought it was strange and went quickly went through what it could be but nothing made sense. could not have been a star bc it was not at the right location. could not have been a building bc there was none and it remained at a high altitude and stayed with a plane going at least 300 mph. was not light from the plane because it was white and did not blink. It was not a mechanical light. REACTION: thought it was cool and made me think of doc Australian skies. thinking of that as I watched it I made some notes and took a few pictures.

Blairstown, MO

My girlfriend and I are in our early 60’s, we are educated, healthy and self-employed. We live in the country. It was a clear Monday night, around 8:00 PM. I was walking down are private road and noticed an unusual reddish-orange object in the western sky. From my view, it was about the size of a star, its position was at about 2 o’clock due west of me. It was the only thing in the sky that color and was at times moving left, right, up and down, sometimes it would hold still then move diagonally to the right or left like it was searching for something, it seemed to be random. I never saw it move from its position more than about 5 degrees. I ran to get my girlfriend not wanting it to disappear, she watched it with me for about 5 minutes and confirmed what I was seeing. I went to get my binoculars, it was clearer in its color and appeared to be glowing but too small to make out any detail, I continued to look at it occasionally over a 45-minute period, before retiring for the night but it never went away.

Sacramento, CA

Bright green orb of lightning first flashed above storm clouds then descended just below, and then shot northbound at same elevation, then flashed and went up. No sounds other than storm. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Miami, FL

it was a sphere, it looked silver and was under a plane. i initially thought it was something the plane dropped, but it continued its trajectory like it had propulsion. it shined continuously and at the same rate.

Miami, FL

Object description: sphere, color silver and shined downward in a strip of light. We were in a heavily populated area, Bal Harbour Miami, when i looked up at the sky to see a hovering plane passing by, i starred amazed because I initially thought it was something the plane dropped, so, the UFO was under a plane at first but kept its velocity and didn't have a parabolic movement as an object would have been released from the plane. It kept its velocity without any acceleration until we lost trace of it because it was so far away by then.

Statham, GA

The object was mostly a deep blue color with bright orange and yellow around the trailing edge. It moved in an arc down towards the ground. It appeared to have gone down somewhere on Hwy 316 estimating from my house. There was no sound. The sphere was the size of a full moon but in closer proximity.

NA, -

First of three sightings that I'm reporting. Distinctly different from the second and third sightings in location, type, and duration. This first sighting was flying an all-night flight from Hawaii back to Denver pre-Covid (probably the winter of 2018/19 – I didn’t document the flight/date at the time). I was a Denver-based B757/767 FO at the time and would fly Hawaii trips three to five times a month. During this flight, the Captain was resting about half way across the Pacific from the Islands. The dome lights were turned off, so only the cockpit instrument lights were lightly illuminating the interior of the cockpit (my preferred practice while night flying). I was leaning forward and looking out and up through my front window (star gazing). At position 11:00 high (really high - well above normal airliner or business jet traffic), I saw a bright flash of light that lasted about a second or so then dimmed, followed by another flash that then dimmed, followed by a third flash that then dimmed, those first three were in exactly the same spot relative to the background stars. Those three flashes were followed by a fourth flash at the same time interval, but it had travelled directly east from the first three about a degree or so, then a fifth flash directly east of that about a degree - travelling the same distance each time. Each of the five flashes lasted about a second or so, with a second or so in between when it dimmed. It wasn't the Starlink constellation, as I've seen them on a couple of different occasions, and it wasn't a satellite or the ISS (which I've seen at least a couple of dozen times). It wasn't aircraft traffic, as it didn't have the normal position lights and the first three flashes were in exactly the same location. Finally, it wasn't a meteor. Normal objects in orbit don't stay in the same relative position, then shift suddenly to a different position. I don't recall the exact flight number, date, or time of night, as at the time, I wasn't inclined to track such things. It certainly baffled me, and in retrospect, I really wish I had tracked the flight number and recorded the time/position on the orientation chart (plotting chart).

Nottingham, NH

This object looked like a star at first, however, it bobs and weaves from left to right, then up and down and sometimes does small circles. Its go me totally baffled. From my home which is located at 43˚6'12"N 71˚6'36"W and looking 150˚ about 30˚ upward, there is the strange irregular moving 'star'.

San Antonio, TX

I saw fiery orange lights no sound flying at low altitude no noise they moved south then flanked back but they all flanked at the same area as they flew higher I took pictures and video I tried to close up to see if they were lanterns but there was no flickering I have seen them before, but can’t identify them.

Kiawah Island, SC

To explain it better, imagine a bright orange medicine ball moving NNE at 25 mph about 150 feet high. Conditions were semi-clear with no wind at all. Source of report indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD

Mt. View, HI

Seemingly low-flying, and incandescent, flying orb came from NW towards SE in very deliberate linear fashion at 9:25 p as I stood upon my roof, coincidentally taking in New Year's eve fireworks. Appeared seemingly as a large firework rocket gone astray but just continued constant incandescence and just continued to the south in satellite fashion--just oranger and lower.

Barboursville, WV

I was jogging at a local park after dark and saw two objects moving slowing towards each other. I thought they were planes but it was odd. They made no sound. Both objects got closer and appeared to mere then a blue flash to the ground and there was nothing there. The flash seemed to hit something over a mountain because there was a flash. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Hi Peter, I saw the objects about 15 minutes but what’s weird is that after the flash is stopped and the next thing I know is that my watch timer went off indicating 40 minutes lapsed @ 8 minute mile. I only went 3 miles so I don’t think the objects for 25 minutes stationary? There were other people that had have seen what I saw as well. I thought the objects collided in mid air but there’s nothing on the news about a mid air collision. ((name deleted)) ((END ADDENDUM))
