Holyoke or Springfield, MA
What I saw looked like a long flat thing cruising at a pretty low altitude just above the western hills as I rounded the curve on interstate 91 north in the West Springfield area. I don't know whether it was West Springfield or Holyoke. I also don't know how many witnesses but the highway is pretty busy at that time so there were probably others who saw it. It was moving surprisingly slowly and was also strange in that it appeared flat. Suddenly something triangular dropped beneath it and appeared to fall from it towards the ground. It also looked thin and slight. I wish I'd had a a dash cam! And I've never reported anything like this before because I tend to be very skeptical of these reports. I make no speculations about what I saw.

Red Bluff, CA
It zoomed right over us was totally silent multi-colored small pill shape. It zoomed over our head no sound right down the street veered up did. Wierdo twisty thing then went down below some tree lines. Later that night, right above where it went down we both again saw a blinking light that just blinked never moved and slowly faded until it disappeared. It had like yellow wings and was blue a yellow on body. Three lights underneath it. No windows on sides anyway and like I said it made absolutely no sound whatsoever. And this was in the early afternoon yet none was around but my friend and I.

State College, PA
Key notes: • Sighting occurred at 11:46 AM, EST and lasted for approximately 30 seconds. • For about 20 minutes, there was an E-2 Hawkeye in flying relatively low over the area which is peculiar because this area rarely sees military aircraft with the exception of C-130's, Blackhawks, Chinooks and the occasional Apache. • Object was spotted almost immediately after the Hawkeye left the area. • Object resembled a dot or orb, rather high and very bright white, moving very fast from the east-northeast to the west-southwest. I would estimate that the size of the object would be similar to holding the pinhead of a needle out at arms length. • Object moved in a smooth straight line before it made a slight arc over Mount Nittany, then continued on in a straight trajectory • Object left no trail, made no sound, emitted no beams, did not change color, etc. The brightness remained consistently bright until it faded from view. I am an Air Force veteran and am familiar with military aircraft, having worked directly with the F-15C for over 3 years. I do not believe that this object was an aircraft reflecting sunlight because it maintained the same brightness throughout the sighting and it was moving faster than any aircraft I know. Nor do I believe it was a drone due to the significant speed. Nor do I think it was something like milkweed floating through the air because they milkweed simply doesn't move that fast. Trying to take a picture of the object would have been useless because it would my camera would not have been able to resolve the image. Besides, it was simply moving too fast to capture. If anyone in the State College area saw something similar to what I saw on October 27th, 2022 around 11:46, PLEASE report it. Through experience, I know that the more witnesses there are to a sighting the more credible it is. If contacted by NUFORC, please contact me by email only.

This has been a 4 day ordeal. First night, object possibly in the sky on camera recorded. Picture of something in the window the next night. Next night, the sound of a craft outside. Then, missing time while driving, car locked up and drove a half hour away from destination with no memory and car is disabled tonight. This was happening with my sister and law and I. We live in the same house.

Quick moving object traveling horizontal across the sky (could tell it was moving away from my point of view). Then it moved significantly faster and disappeared from sight in an instant. No trail, no discernible number of lights, but object was lit, unable to tell shape of object. Lasted only about two seconds because it vanished.

Essex Junction, VT
I went flying at a local high school early Sunday afternoon (10/23/2022). After I went home to view the footage I found this object passing in front of my drone. It looked like a bird at first until I slowed down the footage and noticed it comes from what looks like the tree line (300ft away from the goal post) the object looks to be a smokey ring orb of some kind. The wind was calm with full overcast sky. My camera did not have a NV filter on it. This was recorded at 2.7k 60fps. It looks to be in the video frames 1.04 seconds that I can see. I did not notice any electrical disturbances on my drone.

Tonto Basin, AZ
I was taking a picture of the cloud formations over my town, and when I got home and examined the photo at near-pixel level, I noticed this strange object. At extreme close-up in my paint program, I just couldn't make out what it was. Just looking close-up at the nearby cloud it's under.. it didn't quite look like a jet - this area does get a lot of ground-based aircraft fly-overs. As such, I cannot verify what this object is using just basic home-computer software. I'm hoping someone(s) can better clarify its image. Since to me it doesn't look like a jet, etc. I wanted to submit this photo I took with my Samsung A21 phone's camera. It doesn't appear to me to be bad pixels, but I'm not sure.. From the distance I was from the object, I didn't notice it until I zoomed in on the photo. I didn't enhance the photo in any way.. and just placed a yellow box around the suspected object to help you know where to find it. It is in JPG format, which I downloaded to my PC.

I looked out my window and saw this large strange formation moving in the sky against the wind. I decided to record it to send it to my mom and ask what she thought of it. It looked like multiple cloud like objects with smoke trails behind them. They were flying the same speed and same direction. I’ve never seen anything like it. It is obvious it isn’t birds

Parker, CO
As the title says. The sky looked magnified it looked kinda like a v wing shape with a tail wing. That's the best way I can put it towards ya. The sky was magnified around the shape of it as it moved really realty fast north to south. I can't quite say what it was I'm just blown away how quiet it was. Other aircraft where flying around, but I couldn't, couldn't hear a damn thing from it. The leading edge was curved and the stars or what ever pattern it was bent around the edge.

CD shaped aircraft in the sky lights close together showing different colors a small shadow of black. You could see the air craft cutting through clouds. It stayed for about 3 minutes. It showed colors of blue, yellow, pink, and etc. It was not a star streak, or sharlink, it was a flying air craft that was beyond human technology. It was beautiful it stayed in sight then backed away farther towards the sky and all in one disappeared. Zoom into the photos you can see individual lights.

We were in a B&B on Geronimo trail, and I was standing outside on a beautiful clear night, when I noticed two red vertical lights to my right, about a mile away. They were about two hundred feet apart, and seemed to be the front and back of something flying quietly, and slowly in a circular flight path. It kept going until it was out of sight.

At first it looked like it was a massive star, but the size of that light was an anomaly. It’s position in the sky would not have made sense for it to have been a star. It was too far down and i live in a city so light pollution makes it hard to see any stars. It did not move in a pattern consistent with a plane or helicopter. It was very large and EXTREMELY bright white light. It moved in irregular patterns and would vanish then reappear before evolving into a much smaller light and zig zagging into nothing. I noticed other cars braking in the road. Two street lights were affected (the hue of the lightbulb) and i believe 3 other cars seemed to noticed. I do experience these situations often. This was my 3rd time seeing something similar. I have had many sightings. Particularly when looking through Snapchat filters. Unfortunately, i was driving and missed some of the time in the video attached. I have had a similar experience in the same area where a long period of time was lost. This was also in the company of the same people i was with for this sighting.

I HAVE TWO VIDEOS THAT WERE TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD. On 15 October 2022 at approximately 1:44PM we were attending a football game at the Grizz stadium in Missoula Montana. An object in the sky caught my attention as the sun reflected off it. It was not a plane or glider and did not appear to be a drone. It changed direction too. The object was silver metal in the shape of a boomerang. It was flying quite a distance beyond the stadium and not over it. It flew across the sky and appeared to change shape before it disappeared. The sky was clear with no cloud cover.

I was in the back seat of my friends car and caught a craft out of the corner of my eye. When I looked over I saw the craft for a few seconds then it zoomed away. It was probably 50 feet from us. I didn't say anything to my friends but was terrified. I mentioned it on the drive home and they both started crying hysterically because they saw it too.

Philadelphia, PA
An object with a red light was slowly flying parallel over the Ben Franklin bridge in Philadelphia, approximately 1 mile from where i was standing. I did not pay much attention to the object until it passed behind a building and immediately came back from behind the building. My first thought was that it was too quick to turn around after passing behind the building and it did not seem to be flying backwards. It continued slowly flying back to its original position hovering over the Ben Franklin bridge for about 1 minute. Then it suddenly flew toward me and stopped about 20 feet in front of me. The time it took to fly from its position over the Ben Franklin bridge to the position 20 feet in from of me took less time than it took for me to blink. As it flew toward me my eyes started to blink but before they closed i could see a tail behind the object created from the speed of the object and the red light. The tail created by the light reminded me of the light tail created when at the circus and you spin the light they give you around and it created a line of light. As it hovered in front of me for some reason i could not clearly see the object, which i thought was strange. It was fuzzy and i could see almost like an outline and the red light was on the bottom of the craft, but no navigation lights. There were no wings and the object seemed to be the size of a small bus, and it hovered in silence. As it started to fly away i could see now that the red light was the outer rim of an opening with a bright white light in the middle surrounded by the red rim. I live in an apartment building in the middle of my floor with maybe 8-9 apartments on each side of me and on the 27th floor with another 4-5 floors above me. As it flew away from a standing position i noticed that it did not arch up as most crafts would require and just raised and flew away. At 20 feet away i would think it would have arched up and needed more room to fly away to pass over my building. I read that many sightngs are attracted to military sights so i overlaid the location on a map with military facilities in the area. And to my surprise it matched perfectly. My sighting seemed to be in the middle of 5-6 military facilities. Not sure if its related but following the sighting i was in a bar with my girlfriend and a man walked into the bar and sat next to us. i look over and said hi but he did not immediately acknowledge me. He first looked at my girlfriend and said nothing, then looked back at me and started to say things about me that nobody knew except me and my girlfriend. It looked like he read my girlfriend somehow before turning back to me. Shocked i denied to him any of the information he said at which point he looked at me and said "your girlfriend thinks these things". I continued to deny and he said "I underestimated you". This statement surprised me because i think in order to estimate someone you would need to know the person. i do not think people estimate strangers. I know for a fact that my girlfriend has never seen the person. I have thought about this incident constantly and more interested in talking to someone that can ask me questions than reporting.My background is computer technology and i am very detailed I know that nothing can fly 1 mile in less than the blink of an eye.

At about 6am Tues. morning, 11th Oct., I saw from my bedroom window a flower shaped, glowing object, floating about 100 yards above the ground. I live in a two story Stable Flat on a private farm. The glowing flower shaped object was floating in the sky directly across from the full moon. It looked like the flower shaped object was translucent, like one of those deep water squid that are completely clear and each petal was thick and oblong, like a squid body. And each petal had a black dot towards the bottom of the petal where it connected i the centre. It was glowing bright yellow, from the light of the moon reflecting off its surface. I watched it for a minute or two then picked my phone up to take a picture. As I held the phone up to focus on the object it started to move, ever so slightly, upward. It made no sounds what so ever. As soon as I tapped the button to take the photo the automatic flash came on (I thought I had switched it off...) and the object shot up into the early morning sky and disappeared.

Driving on the interstate my son exclaimed “what is that?”, looking automatically at the moon while driving I witnessed a large linear slightly convex shape in the 6 o'clock position going over to the 4 o'clock position of the moon. It was one solid object that quickly moved towards the right side if the moon, as if it was passing infront of the moon. It lasted approximately 10 seconds to leave visibility, as it was a clear dark night without clouds. My son shared with me he witnessed it more of a large cigar shape. Defined edges. No lights or other abnormalities. It was huge to be able to black out such a large portion of the moons light.

Couple mo ago, looked up on back porch, saw small bright light in northern sky. Did not pay attention because near airport, looked up again few min later, still there. Looked like miles away, no movement, no sound. Took pic, trying to do video when shot east over trees faster than anything man made. It Looked far away but when blown up, is blocking out elec wires on property line, maybe 25ft away and can see boomerang shape. 2nd pic taken by friends family 3 wks ago in parking lot approx 5 miles away. Both late dusk. His pic of ?? Same shape as I saw but different size, his “ more mature”. Don’t have details of his sighting, except they were freaked out. As a flight RN I’m familiar with flying things, but not these.

Boomerang shaped dark object with perfectly spaced out bright white circular lights lining it. Seen above the pine trees flying slowly and silently above us for about 5 seconds and then vanished completely.
