wild rose, WI
I have a week bladder, and I happen to have a door from my bedroom going outside, so I go out and pee every 2 hours or so. I always look at the stars, sometimes for 5 minutes or more at a crack. I spotted a dim red light moving north to south. It was fading in and out, and I was trying to relocate it when right over my house a triangular thing flew from east to west. The lights were slightly dim but seeable. That’s why I think it was outside the atmosphere. It was about the size of say a full moon. It was moving very fast.

My husband and I let the dogs out before bed. The sky night was clear. Stars were visible. A single bright light that, from our perspective, resembled a star, being the same size and brightness of those around, was moving southwards in a regular pathway across the sky. The speed was measured yet steady and the trajectory smooth and straight. It had no red lights anywhere and no blinking lights so did not seem to be a plane. There was no sound. As we watched, it faded and was gone. [NUFORC annotation: Satellite - Probable]

I observed a very bright, what appeared to be yellow/orangish light in the western sky late at night. I saw the light and noticed it because it was so bright. I thought this might be Venus and it could be the case in which case ignore this report. The light appeared to be moving very slowly and appeared to be dipping somewhat rapidly at times but I'm willing to admit my eyes could be playing tricks on me. I observed it for maybe 15 minutes at which time it definitely moved as I noticed it moving further towards the horizon. It was also becoming more and less bright but I couldn't determine what might be causing this. It eventually moved below a line of trees at the end of the 15 minutes at which point I could no longer see the light and it never reappeared. I can't confirm what it was. Maybe its nothing in which case ignore this. But I enjoy watching the skies at night and haven't noticed anything like this before. It struck me as odd so I thought I'd report it. Do with this report what you will. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

Was taking pictures of moon & noticed while taking pictures these 3 star looking objects lowered & got larger & started developing into odd objects that I can't explain. They almost looked like entities as they got lower. When I looked without the camera I couldn't see them at all. A star to the left of then then got larger & looked like a spacecraft of some kind & disappeared. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Certain]

Sea isle city, NJ
Initially, we saw one sphere moving south to north along the coast line in Sea Isle, City, New Jersey. The sphere stopped close to where our location is, and was suspended. Moments later a second sphere followed in the same path as the initial sphere moved. First sphere made a 90 degree turn and quickly moved out toward the horizon . The second sphere also stopped in the same place as the first and made the identical 90 degree turn. They appeared red -glowing like a fireball. There was not trail. It was self-contained pulsing red light. There was no sound made from the objects. We reported to the US coastguard immediately. I confirmed with Cape May Coastguard that they were not currently flying in the area.

As I was taking my picture of Venus and the moon the object caught my eye and while I focused on it the object it simply disappeared. I was on the camp deck there were no windows or screens, and the night sky was clear. Though I could see it, the object did not appear to have any illumination. When I downloaded my camera to my computer, I noticed the object was in the frame. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

We saw an object in the sky that was moving around so we started taking pictures. Then a second object came into view. Then I took some video and when I went through the video very slowly I noticed 3 more similar objects in the background. The objects changed color from white to pink to green. In the clearest photo the object appears to be square with a ring of lights around it and a smaller grayish rectangular object next to it. The second object also has a smaller rectangular object next to it.

Noticed a light high in the night sky while taking out the trash. No sound or navigation or collision lights emanating from the object. The night sky was over cast and the object was below the over cast. It moved very slowly and finally disappeared in the over cast. I label this as a UFO and this is a first for me.

Playing tennis and were looking up to the sky as serving and saw a very visible perfectly spherical metallic sphere craft travelling in a straight line around average low cloud height very swiftly without ANY sound. Not like any known military drone or craft publicly known (I am from a military family background and well informed in Russian and US craft development; including ‘classic’ saucer types that are in use/development). Two others were witnesses who were instantly spooked.

Panama City Beach, FL
On the beach a few minutes after 10 pm, craft became visible but obscured by cloud cover directly overhead. After approximately one minute, craft became fully visible for a full minute, moving very slowly and silently, before vanishing in the clouds. Way too large to be a drone. My background is in higher education, Ph.D.. Otherworldly - unlike anything I have seen in my fifty years of life.

At first I was looking at the moon and how bright it was during the day, but when it would come in close range to the sun the sun would get very very bright and as I kept watching it the sun was fixing to cover the moon again same thing the sun appeared much brighter then as it passed there was clouds and out of the clouds came four objects flying around it .

Hickory Flat, GA
In a clear blue morning sky. The oval white object was as high/higher in the sky than an airliner would fly. The UFO was moving fast with no heat trail. A military aircraft was following it. The most notable thing to me was the UFO did not have a heat trail. I was able to get a photo of the UFO but I did not get the military aircraft in the photo. When you zoom in on the UFO in my photo it seems to have a darker field surrounding it.

Crossing the Irish sea from Belfast to Liverpool, BELFAST · United Kingdom
I was looking out to sea from the ship when I saw a shooting star, but then a minute or so later it came back the same route it left in , stopped a short distance from the ship in the sky high up, all I could see was a bright single light. It did two or three short erratic darts across the sky back to the same spot and the shot off across the sky past the front direction the ship was facing. Then about half an hour or so later the same light came back and did the same thing but flew around a bit more into the distance and back, the vanished. The light that was next to me the came on . I then went out onto the deck to see if I could spot anything else. Then strangely something flew past the ship very fast just above the water, as if it was going to dive in, the were no lights that I could see, but I could make out a craft shape even though it was dark there was illumination from the ship lights.

Looked in the sky and noticed an object in the sky at a very high altitude heading North and it looked on fire. As if it were coming into the atmosphere. The object slowly turned East and seemed to hoover for around 10 minutes (video included) . The slowly a continued east, but not with the horizon but continued gaining altitude until out of sight.

I described my possible ufo experience to my friend and as i was explaining it, it happened again but this time I kept watching it. Until it just instantly disappeared, exactly like I predicted because of what happened with the last possible UFO. But this time i watched completely and had a witness watching too.

3 yellowish red lights in a straight formation (not glowing, but “breathing” appearance) initially moved slowly, much lower than planes. Changed direction abruptly, formation shifted slightly to a V-type shape and moved in a straight line notably in front of clouds. Slowly moved again and then instantaneously (at a visually disorienting speed) departed south/south east. Neither me or my spouse heard anything while this was happening.

My mom and I were out in her deck just sky watching and about 25 to 35 lights evenly spaced apart moving diagonally in a straight line together. Some lights were brighter than others, randomly fading in and out and then it just disappeared. It seemed really close, a lot closer than the stars. Then, after they were gone, random blinking lights in various parts of sky for about a minute after. It was similar looking to the starlink [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

Pine Bluff, AR
I was standing outside my house at 4 E. Richard Dr. in Palm Bluff, Arkansas watching the night sky. At roughly 9:30 p.m. I noticed a glowing orb, flying low and very slowly or duration of about 12 seconds, until it completely disappeared out of the sky. It was as if just when I was getting good and focused on it the orb dematerialized from the sky.

The eastern sky camera views the area of sky to my east and trees in my back paddock are used as reference points for the FOV. Camera is a 4K 15fps 2.8mm in night exposure mode with no form of camera illumination. In the frames preceding the object entering the FOV it illuminates the top of a reference tree which is known to be 70m (229ft) from the camera. It is raining heavily and the object leaves a light trail and wake through the rain which is consentient with its shape and size. The object appears to vanish instantly leaving the light trail which dissipates shortly after. Footage link...

This thing just appeared and took up most of the sky.. it looked just like a picture of a satellite except the fact that it was super high and had to be atleaset 40 full size commercial jets long. idrc if you believe me or not this thing was silent and miles long and then just disappeared. No noise at all. Just a report, I hope someone else saw it besides us. Nothing is as big as this can be in the sky

(4:30pm) I walked out of AutoZone towards my car. There was a chill in the air, and wind gusts at approx 6-8mph. I looked up at the low dark fast moving scattered clouds in the sky. During a quick break in the clouds I saw a white stationary-shape-changing -object. For a few minutes it was shimmering off the setting Sun. The object was above the moving clouds. -Not going through them. For 10 minutes. I didn't have my glasses on, I couldn't see the complete details of the object. So I asked a guy working on his truck if he could see what the object was. He said "it looked like one or two of those white spy balloons." A few minutes later, when I was next to my car. The object appeared to change shape, *(like a pulsating piece of chewed bubble gum) and become a darker gray color and started floating North for approx 12 minutes. *(slower than the moving clouds) (4:52pm) As the sun set and the sky grew darker I lost sight of the object. I saw the object a total of 7 times between the clouds during the 22 minutes I watched it. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]
