The object was moving north to south at 7:17pm. I looked up flight data and didn't see any aircraft traveling in this direction. It was moving rather fast and went all the way across the sky. No condensation trail and no sound at all. I didn't see any wings. It appeared to be pretty high up and must have covered 20 miles in 30 seconds. Note - there is a dragon fly in the image as well, about 30 ft above me off to the left. I've been trying to look up most evenings and I've never seen anything odd. I have spa and will star gaze from time to time in the evening. I can see satellites from time to time, but those appear much smaller and moving slower. Look more like a slow moving star. This was nothing like that and still very sunny outside. My wife and I enjoy sitting outside in the evening in our backyard. I notice a number of planes regularly. Most are traveling west to east from the bay area and are very easy to make out. We see helicopters from time to time as well. All of those are very clear and obvious. If this was a drone, it appeared to be very high in the sky and came from at least Lodi and disappeared well south of here past Lathrop, Ca. Looking up flights during that time, nothing was in the area moving in that direction.

Went from North to South between here and the mountains , big oval round but thicker top to bottom. Sky had purple lit orangeish clouds in horizon. The object was pitch black. No lights no reflections or glint's. After passing behind neighbors patch of trees it was lower and jinxed up and down then continued south. No planes or sounds in the air. Size as compared to outstretched fingers was about half my pinky finger nail, around 1/4 inch.

I was driving home from work happen to look at the distant sky and spotted a bright silver oval object. I kept a eye on it for awhile. It turned to reveal it being more discoid and moved slightly south. It suddenly disappeared. There was very few clouds in the sky and the event lasted less than a couple of minutes.

I have planes flying over all the time so I was watching this Cessna type plane when out of the corner of my eye I seen a white object in the northeast part of the sky so I grabbed my phone and snapped some pictures of the object I snapped 6 altogether 3 closeup and 3 longer range I was just looking at the pictures and in the longer range pictures there's another one which I just noticed I could only upload 4 of them I still have 2 other photos of these tic tac type objects like I said I just noticed the second one I need to look at these photos more closely there might be more

Please see videos. I noticed from the south a bright metallic light very high up, initially I thought it was a plane, but it was moving very slowly and then in different movements, nothing a plane or helicopter could do. It was a small dot but clear to see as the sky was clear. It was a oval/tictac shape. I watched it for 5 minutes. I started to record it. It went slowly north and then to my east. I noticed sometimes it disappeared but then it came back. It was very high allitude. I checked the flight radar and no planes matched its movements or locations. I checked the ISS website and again negative.

There were 6 shiney orbs, like crome tic-tacs flying in formation but in a box like formation, one of these crome objects would brake formation and take off and backwards for a few seconds then come back and perform moves in every direction like it was nothing. They would all take turns doing this, and at speeds I've never seen before, in every direction. And I think they were following a jet airliner that had past over me about 5 minutes earlier. These crome shiney orbs could have with cought the jet air liner with out hesitation. And then with a blink of my eyes they were gone in the cloud cover to there left.

Notice the small green light above the sun. Taken late afternoon looking due west in Mason City Iowa. Summer of 22. Pic taker says it wasn't visible to the eye-likely due to the glare of the sun.

Driving Northbound on South Holiday Road while pausing for traffic at a stop sign, we looked outside our driver left window to the West and saw a white stationary oval object the size of an SUV that looked like it had a tail or streamers coming out of the back. We noticed that the object was blurry and out of focus compared to the surrounding clouds and trees. Once we passed a building that blocked our view for a moment, the object had disappeared.

At approximately 10:30pm on 7/14 i noticed 4 oval shaped lights hovering about 150ft above the park at the end of my street. They were extremely bright. A bright light came out of the bottom of one of the oval shaped craft. I walked down to the end of the road to see what they were. and before I reached the end all 4 flashed and disappeared with out making a sounds or leaving a light trail. I did notice while they were hovering one seemed to be going up and down and left and right unlike a plane or helicopter would be able to.

Myself and 2 other friends were sat in a hut where we ride our mountain bikes i suddenly stopped the conversation by saying look at that! We all stepped outside and looked into the blue sky to see a disked shaped object but appeared to change shape on video to a pointed object at a single point but maybe that was just the angle of what it tilted to and maybe deep blue in colour and when the sun hit the edge of the object it looked diamond blue in colour. It looked kind of out of control but so high up in the sky, when it tilted to its side it looked kind of like a deep bottle cap if you can imagine that? But from underneath it looked as if it either has a hole in the middle or had a blue light underneath at one point it flashed from the very middle of it an electric blue colour from top to bottom of the object and my friend also mentioned that it had a red Ora around it what we could not see on camera other than a slight white Ora. We watched the single object for around 40 seconds capturing 29 seconds of it on video before loosing sight of it we was all stunned to what we saw and couldn’t make our minds up about it.

L'unique témoin de ce cas d'observation se trouve sur la terrasse de son domicile situé sur la commune de La Montagne (44) le 14 juillet 2022 vers 10h17 lorsqu'il observe vers l'est dans le ciel un PAN d'une forme oblongue et d'une couleur d'un blanc cassé très clair se déplacer en silence, selon une trajectoire rectiligne et à vitesse rapide et régulière, du nord vers le sud. Le témoin compare le PAN à un « œuf dont les deux côtés seraient de la même forme ou à un bonbon « tic-tac ». Aucune traînée ni panache de fumée n'était visible et le PAN a été perdu de vue après environ 15 secondes d'observation. La consistance du cas est moyenne, avec un seul témoin, l'absence de photo du PAN, et un témoignage près d'un an après l'observation. La description du PAN peut évoquer deux types d'observations : celles d'un avion ou d'un ballon (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). L'enquête a permis d'éliminer celle d'un avion, aucune trace radar n'ayant été relevée, pouvant correspondre au déplacement du PAN. La description du PAN est cohérente avec un ballon de forme oblongue et de couleur claire, porté par le vent selon une trajectoire apparente dans sa direction. Enfin, les calculs de distance et de vitesse du PAN, en prenant l'hypothèse d'une dimension habituelle pour un ballon festif (~30cm), conduisent à des valeurs compatibles avec le témoignage. La perception de la vitesse d'un objet observé se déplaçant dans le ciel dépend de la distance qui le sépare de l'observateur, ici indéfinissable. En effet, en l'absence de repères, il sera impossible d'estimer aussi bien les dimensions que la distance d'un objet de nature inconnue présent dans le ciel. Le témoin pourra avoir l'impression d'un objet de relativement grande taille se déplaçant rapidement à haute altitude, alors qu'il pourrait s'agir d'un objet de petite taille et évoluant à basse altitude à une vitesse modérée. Bien que l'origine du ballon n'ait pu être démontrée, l'ensemble des éléments de cette enquête convergent vers l'observation d'un ballon de baudruche blanc porté par le vent, possiblement perdu ou lâché lors d'une fête privée. Le GEIPAN classe le cas en « B », probable observation d'un ballon festif. [GEIPAN classification B — Ballon]

Hazel Green, WI
This evening around 8:30 pm cst, my eighteen year old daughter, my fourteen year old son and myself were standing on our deck when I noticed something shining in the sky. We saw two shiny, white, oval shaped UFO’s flying over us in opposite directions. One was flying to the west and the other to the east. After the two UFO’s passed each other, a jet with a smoke trail, flew into the path of the UFO’s. The jet was flying more towards the south. The sky was clear, no clouds were obstructing our view. We did not hear any sound coming from the UFO’s. We took a picture with an iPhone but it’s not a clear picture. The UFO’s disappeared after a few minutes.

I was outside in the summer in my backyard. It's been a while, so I'm most likely misremembering the date, but I know it was around 1 p.m. or so. I was just bored as heck, standing around and sitting in a swing-chair, until I walked across my backyard to where I can see above a nearby neighborhood and the trees, where I saw a fairly distant (a few miles most likely) grey, mostly flat object that had what looked like a dome, but it seemed to be at an angle pointing a bit towards me but not entirely. I've good distance vision despite bad eyesight, and I saw it stay still for half a minute, but caught it flying off due west so quickly that it was a blur. I wish it was a tad closer for more detail, but I assume it was there for longer before I looked at it. I've no idea, but I soon went inside while just trying to not acknowledge it.

Linden, PA
I was at my River lot on the West Branch of the Susquehanna, and I happened to look to the West, when I saw the object. I would estimate its altitude at 2500 to 3000 feet AGL. The object moved in a straight line, and I watched until it entered clouds. There was no discernable fuselage, wings, or empennage. The object seemed to have a luminescence of it's own. I was able to catch video with my cellphone. There was boat traffic at the time, and other background noise, but no sound from the object. I am a Licensed Private Pilot, and a Military Aviation Buff, and are familiar with many different aircraft, both civilian, and Military, and this object didn't correspond to anything that I am familiar with.

In my yard with my partner I was trying to take a photograph of the sun or maybe catch a good image in a video from my mobile phone. I couldn't really see as the sun was so bright but I did manage to get a few, after coming indoors to see clearly I was looking at these images, taking seconds apart from each other I noticed a metalic looking object that wasn't in any of the other 4 images. I then looked at the video and thought I could see something whizzing past the screen so I slowed it right down. From what I can see it seems there are maybe two or three of these objects whizzing around, the first goes past the sun then I see another. All objects are in sight together as one then (in my opinion) looks like it flys around the sun as the other is hovering around doing nothing. As the hovering object takes off the second and third objects whizz past the top of the screen one more time. I have slowed down and watched this video over and over and I can't explain what I'm seeing. I did manage to pause it and point out the objects in one image also take a screen record of my video slowed down and you can clearly see these things flying around turning extremely quickly with no propulsion what so ever

I and my friend were returning home and saw 3 red orange circle spheres come from east traveling north. They made no sound at all and seemed to travel in a V formation then formed into a single line and at first moving slowly. Then they increased speed as they formed this formation and then ascend straight up until they disappeared. No sound no sonic boom! We then witnessed two more of they had the exact shape follow the three that went straight up the two others followed immediately at a high rate of speed again with no sound or sonic boom!

Queen Creek, AZ
Driving southbound on Hawes Rd through Queen Creek, AZ at night, I observed what appeared to be an oblate spheroid shaped object. As I crossed the Chandler Heights Rd intersection, the street lamps were non-existent. This dark road and sky made sighting this jump out at my attention in the upper right of my windshield, as it was moving very fast. The color was a vibrant emerald green color with an aura of yellow around it. I thought i might be fireworks, but then it arched downward for a brief moment (as if dropping altitude) then leveled out and accelerated very rapidly in a straight horizontal line from east to west across the valley floor. I estimate it was downrange from my car as close as 3-miles away at an altitude of 500 feet which is well below the height of the San Tan Mountains (3,104 FT). It was accelerating much faster than any light aircraft or helicopter that is common to see in this area. The weather was windy with lots down drafting wind currents from a lines of thunderstorms in the area. It was dusty and gusty to 40 kTS which obscured the moonlight, so this was really bad weather for a private pilot to fly in with a light aircraft from nearby Pegasus-Queen Creek Airpark. I was driving at the time with my phone plugged into my armrest on Apple Car Play, so I didn't have enough time to grab my phone for snaps.

Headed westbound on Mountain Drive looking NW, witnessed 2 bright lights that phasing in and out and going dim and then bright again. They were "dancing" around each other for about 5 seconds that was witnessed before they seemingly disappeared into the distance. Turned left (South) onto Melvin Street while explaining what was seen. I got to the end of the road where it tees into 98 and was behind a black pickup truck waiting on traffic when I saw two white oval objects about the size of an SUV in the South sky flying West to East at a fast rate. No wings or visible propulsion.

ANTIOCH, CA
My boyfriend and I took our dogs to the park across the street after swimming. I always look at the sky and stars and was admiring when I notice a huge sideways lime green oval light up in the sky. Moving much quicker than any plane, helicopter or even jet I've ever seen. No light trails or any other light source like blinking lights. It was only the glowing, kind of hazy lime green light. And I started asking my boyfriend if he saw what I did and we discussed and ruled out several things such as a falling star or aircraft. I would say it looked about 3x the size of a plane and seemed up very high although it's hard to judge. We watched it go from one side of the sky to the other until we couldn't see it anymore past the tree tops. We searched for any information online and found nothing. I wish I had gotten a photo but originally I hadn't even wanted to get out of the car, but did so reluctantly and left my phone in it as we walked into the park.

It was floating about 40 feet up and made NO NOISE. As we drove, I slowed down and it stayed in place. I purposely SPED UP to see if it was what I THOUGHT it was...(a UFO?!?) and accelerated from 0 mph to 30 mph. As I accelerated, ( the UFO?) Moved Eastbound, keeping.exact pace with us. Then when I stopped, it stopped! My son who's 10, and myself were kinda.creeped out? So we accelerated again and AGAIN this object kept pace with us. We bolted out of the area...and the.disc left my rear view mirror sight. Simply FASCINATING!!

One object with several other star images surrounding it and the other seemed to be forming a portal or a wormhole in the sky. Had rings forming around it & can see it was in the center, either going into an opening or coming out. In the video it at the very beginning in-between the lightning flashes you will see above the tree line. One flash two objects are clearly visible and in the next flash they are gone.
