L'unique témoin de ce phénomène, était dans son jardin à ROUEN (76) le 24.05.2023. Pendant environ trois minutes, il a observé un PAN ayant l'aspect d'un gros point lumineux blanc, se déplaçant sans bruit de manière régulière et rectiligne du nord-ouest vers le sud-est. Seul un témoignage a été collecté, comme indiqué précédemment. Selon les critères du GEIPAN, la consistance de ce cas est bonne (la consistance est la quantité d’informations considérées comme fiables, recueillies pour un témoignage) : bien qu’il n’y ait qu’un seul témoin, une vidéo a été capturée pour renforcer les données recueillies. Nous démontrons, dans cette enquête, que les caractéristiques physiques et dynamiques du PAN sont conformes à celles de l’hypothèse explorée, à savoir l’observation de la Station Spatiale Internationale (ISS). Cette conclusion s’appuie sur les éléments suivants : - La forme ponctuelle, la couleur et la luminosité, comparables à celles d’une étoile, sont en tous points conformes à l’hypothèse - La trajectoire rectiligne et la vitesse constante confirment également cette correspondance. - Les azimuts d'apparition et de disparition, l'élévation maximale, l'heure du début d'observation ainsi que la durée de visibilité du PAN ont été vérifiés auprès du Service de Surveillance de l'Espace du CNES et correspondent aux données orbitographiques de l'ISS observée depuis Rouen. La vidéo faite par le témoin confirme par ailleurs l’apparence et le déplacement rectiligne du PAN, conformes à l’ISS. Le GEIPAN classe ce cas en A : observation de l’ISS.

I was picking up kids toys and the wife had just got home from work met her out in the driveway. I looked up in the sky that I’ve looked up into 1000 times or more and noticed a bright light. The object covered for almost 3 1/2 hours hey sweet side to side up and down, but never left more than 100 foot in each direction, can’t believe what I was saying so I took pictures and a video crazy factors that happen four days later same spot same thing Went to gas station Thursday and I was coming back and seen the same UFO in the same spot. Which is weird because I’ve looked up in the sky thousands of times and they came back roughly 4 days later in the same spot for about the same duration, and did the same exact thing

I was looking at the waning moon through my telescope as it was exceptionally clear that night, and looking amazing. Zooming in and out and exploring the area I noticed a white dot moving with purpose travelling from north to south in a straight line, it had no trail and was moving with great velocity, it was really clear and as bright as the moon itself, it was visible for about 5 or so seconds then slowly disappeared.

We were taking the dog out for a pee and my husband saw this large white bright orb in the sky that was not very far away from the ground or the mountain top. This orb was gracefully lowering down with barely any shaking, it was bright and beautiful. We watched as it disappeared behind the mountain. No flashing of lights, no spiral, it stayed in the exact position as it slowly came down. After this I saw a smaller orb in the distance. Which I thought was a star as I saw it before the large orb that was extremely close to us. This smaller orb started moving away in to the distance and farther into the sky, somewhat fast. It ended up moving above over our heads until it was so small we couldn’t see the light coming off of it.

I was sitting at a gas station, eating and looking south on I-75 South, and I saw a pulsating white light in the distance, moving in a horizontal direction from east to west. After that, two minutes later, another light came, moving at a steady pace. Two minutes later, the same lights came back from the west and started heading east. Estimated altitude was about 16,000 feet and about 15 miles out with no trees or obstructions. I ruled out as being an aircraft because there are no active high altitude airways that go from west to east in this area only south.

I went outside to let my dog walk around the grassy area next to my apartment and upon looking up (West), I noticed the cigar shaped object drifting across the sky at a consistent pace, going downward (left) at about a 45° angle. Could not decipher if it was metallic or white in color. Appeared somewhat translucent at times with naked eye. I then notice a secondary object which begins higher up than the first and appears further away, behind some faint clouds at times. Secondary object appears to be moving at a similar speed as the first object, however, the secondary object is moving downward at about a 45° angle, rather than upward like the first object. Both moving left. I watched for about 10 seconds before then recording with my cell phone for about 17 seconds. Objects drifted behind cloud cover and couldn’t be located after that. Second video attached is the same as the first video, just zoomed in more. Video time stamp says 9:06AM.

Orange-ish ball of light passed in a virtual line south to north following I-77 near the football HoF. Moved slowly, checked flights nearby and saw none on radar. No noise heard as it passed by. Didn’t record until tail end after checking flights. Is not high in atmosphere.

Husband stepped out and yelled to come. He saw it zooming around about 30 seconds before I started filming. A bright object, no shape at the time and changing from red to blue to green. It started moving horizontally faster than man made. Not as high as Chinese Spy balloon which I also saw and videoed. Not as high as airplanes along the flight path. Could have been so large that it looked lower in the sky. Turned into a circle, changing colors then blinking. Shape changed from circle to shapeless streaks darting so fast I don’t even think the military has anything that fast. We were skeptical but nothing else explains it. Just like in Close Encounters when it flew around the mountain road as people stood there. There was only one object and it darted around so fast and went behind the tree line. Someone was shooting fireworks to the northwest. We heard no sound at all. Video was too long to load.

I was taking pics of the sky because I love anything beautiful. I took a picture of the moon and a bright object below it which I thought was a planet or star. I then turned the camera and saw the object in the sky so I took a picture of it. I was in a parking lot waiting on my family to come out of the grocery store.

I witnessed 2 flying objects traveling at unbelievable speeds, in formation for about 10 seconds before I pulled my camera out to snap only one picture before they disappeared in an instant . Unbelievable, and now I’m definitely a believer now that I witnessed first hand something I can’t explain , even with all the knowledge I’ve learned in 42 years I still look at this picture just in amazement and what makes it even better is that’s the North Star and Jupiter in the picture when it was snapped.

Upon leaving Dulles International Airport and as I was headed to my car of the parking garage at 9:29 PM, I observed and erratic moving light shaped like an elongated oval darting through the sky. I took a video of it because I was fascinated by this random object. During the video capture, one other woman, whom I did not know, observed the same object and joked it must be a UFO.

Changed shapes. Reminded me of a humane cell changing. Three of them lined up above each other. I would just like to know what it was. Not a kite, not a drone. Could you please let me know what you think.

At first I thought it was a paragliding craft. But it was solid black and sphere shaped. It was moving fairly fast. I saw two more coming right above me. I took two pics and a video.

I saw an object traveling through the jet trail of an airplane. It was traveling faster than the plane. When it reached the plane, it passed right by it and kept going. I wasn't able to get my phone out and start recording until it was already at the plane and passed it.

Approx 2:00pm my roommate got me to come outside. Looking up there were 5 black star shaped craft with 3 "arms". They were right at the cloud ceiling layer. They were very difficult to make out unless you stared with concentration. They were floating/lumbering along the cloud layer slowly. At times they appeared to disappear. We took a video and photos, but the resolution was too low to discern them in the photo/video. They were hard enough to see with the naked eye, let alone a phone camera.

The light was so bright it blinded me for a quick couple of seconds I had to stop. At first I thought it maybe a rescue helicopter or something similar but there was no sound very quiet. The object seemed to get closer and closer then suddenly In an instant it shot off in the opposite direction and everything was dark again I did not know what to think of it

I've seen 3 lights blinking at different pace. They were aligned in the sky, and from my position of observation they were almost at vertical, I'm not sure how to express this in degree angle. What surprised me, it's when 2 of these lights moved together in a straight line apart from the other one, like they were part of the same object. The motion was quite fast and smooth. Being aware of ET presence, i immediately thought, "that's another sighting" and at that moment, the lights disappeared. The lights were white, though I may have spot a lite different color at some point but given the fact I just came out of a lighted room before stepping outside in the dark, I can't be sure. They were the size of a big bright star, or a planet like Venus. Since that event I am very very exhausted without explanation and at the beginning I didn't make the connection, but since it lasting despite resting all day long for 2 days, I am questioning if there could be an relationship.
