We are a wife (me) and a husband in our 50’s. I’m a housewife; he’s an auto technician. I saw a very large white/silver rectangular object moving toward E/NE. No wings, no lights flashing or otherwise but the object was very bright (the sun was still out and the sky was totally clear). I ran inside to get my husband and he came outside with me and saw the object. I’m absolutely kicking myself because I couldn’t get to my binoculars in time to get a closer look. It seemed to be at a high altitude and moved across the sky not quite as fast as the ISS but faster than a high altitude airplane. Neither of us has ever seen anything like it. I’m sure there’s a rational explanation.

Lincoln, MT
Lincoln, MT JULY 4th, 2021. I observed a rectangle shaped formation of red flashing lights, believed to be a single craft streak across the night sky approx. 15000 above the town of Lincoln Montana. The craft quickly moved across the sky and then slowed and hovered for 5 minutes, quickly moved forward and back and hovered again. This took place as the nightly fireworks show took place. The observation took place between 10 and 11 pm.

Looked up while at work and spotted 2 objects over the new york manhattan skyline flying very very slowly and spinning in sync, they seemed to be a few hundred feet apart but did not move further or closer to eachother the entire time. Rectangular in shape and dark. I have video recorded of the event.

I heard the rumble of a helicopter and waited for it to pass by my house. It was a clear but dark night. I noticed it pass my house from the west traveling east towards Tacoma, it was flying at about 2 to 300 ft , I noted the lights on the helicopter and a black mass about 4 times the size of the chopper. The black mass had no lights and appeared to be a rectangular craft. Since I live in a forested area, I could only view it for 15 to 20 seconds. I am use to seeing choppers from Lewis/McCord but never have I seen one following a blackout object as tonight. If not for the helicopter, I don’t think it would have made a sound but I couldn’t be positive on that.

Stockbridge, MI
I was driving around 12:45 AM in the morning coming back from work when I first saw the object. Sometimes farmers go into the baseball fields by our house so I originally thought it was flashing brake lights. When I got home I decided to take a walk and just see what it was. This object was hovering about 30 to 40 feet in the air head to glowing red rectangles pulsating a red flash repeatedly. The area was so completely dark I was not able to truly see the shape of the objects the long rectangular lights were attached to. When I saw these lights were not brake lights and in fact a true UFO hovering above the septic tanks of her outdoor bathrooms at the high school I became to panic and full of fear and decided to leave the area. Our family has asked locals about The occurrence but there is truly no explanation. We have been walking back every night to see if there would be the same object but there hasn’t been.

This morning I got dressed and went out back of my house to cut the grass. I was looking around at the mess of my back yard and something caught my eye. There was a rectangle shaped box flying over my neighborhood above the treeline. The box was shiny and reflecting the sun. I saw now blades or propulsion of any kind. The whole time looking at it my eyes were watering from the sunlight so it was hard to really make out any other details. It was traveling west to east fairly slowly but high enought that it was hard to determine size and speed. It traveled out of sight within 45 seconds.

I held my thumb up to it and it was larger that my thumb nail at aprox. Cloud level moved much faster than a plane across the sky. I was on the tele phone with a friend when I witnessed the object. No sound was emitted from object.

I noticed something strange in the sky, so I grabbed my binoculars for a closer look. Binoculars are Galileo Model G-1250 so I can see 12 times farther than the naked eye. In the field of view through the lenses, the object was about 1/2 inch wide and 1/3rd of that in height. Rectangular shaped and red. It was the color of a cherry. The object spun horizontally, which doesn't make any sense. It really looked like a car, and that doesn't make any sense. It even looked like there was a wheel too, a small one - with a rim, the same as a car wheel would. I could not make sense of this thing. I even wondered of it was that Tesla that Elon Musk released into space, but it wasn't falling fast like it should have with the gravitational pull. The object was too strange to be a plane or an air balloon. It wasn't a helium balloon. It was too big to be a drone. I do not think a remote controlled device can fly that high, but I do not know. It was just a spec in my eye w! ithout the binoculars. I grabbed the binoculars because of the flash the sun made on it when it spun. The spin speed was about as fast as a beacon light for aircraft to see. The metallic sheen flashed brightly when the sun reflected upon it, when the object made a horizontal rotation. I put down the binoculars to try and focus my eyes on it and try to get a photo, but when I looked up again it was gone. I only took my eyes off of the object for a 2/10ths of a second. I regretted putting my binoculars down. I was facing south, and the object would be about south west if the face of the compass were facing me. There were no lights. I can hear sound through my windows, but only a small amount. I heard no sound coming from the object, and there were no streaks. The sky at the time, as I looked through my window, was cloudy, but blue sky was also visible, and the sun was able to flash off of the object. This sighting happened around 4:52pm on June the 18th. Feel free to contact ! me if you would like.

I was on my way home and noticed a rectangular object hovering motionless above the trees. At first i thought it was a drone, but it had no propellers. It had a rectangular shape, blackish grey and sitting in the sky. i took two pics which really shows its shape and i video taped it. When i crossed the street to get closer look the things was no where in sight.

Green Valley-Henderson, NV
As my wife and I were relaxing on our patio after finishing breakfast around 8:09AM on 5/31/2021, A green flash in the sky about 25 to 30 degrees above the western horizon caught my eye. When we observed we discovered that there were in fact three objects. All three looked rectangular in shape, perhaps 10X longer than wide, all were absolutely black in color (despite being illuminated directly in bright sunlight) with two continuous and strikingly bright green lights, one at each end. These rectangles were rotating approximately once per second about their mid sections while moving south. There were brief instances when the entire length of the objects would flash very brightly in the same brilliant green. Within 30 seconds of observing the three objects, two of them were lost sight of. The remaining single object continued due south until moving out of view, having been obstructed by neighboring homes. The maximum apparent size of the objects was a! bout 1/10th the diameter of the full Moon, made no noise. A commercial jet on final into McCarren Airport passed between one of the objects and my location, which may indicate the objects were actually quite large and more distant than I initially assumed. 4K videos of a portion of the observation was made which does show one of the objects rotating and flashing green lights, but are quite grainy.

Took my dog out and noticed a straight line of white lights in the sky moving toward the southeast. I would estimate at least a dozen lights or more. The light appeared slightly wavy. I would describe it as if it were a plane pulling a banner of white lights, but I could see no plane, heard no sound, and the lights stayed in formation. It gradually faded into the southeast over the course of just a few minutes. It did not appear to be traveling fast and was not very high in the sky. I was a clear night, but I could not make out the outline of any craft.

Around 2:35am at the Jets Park in West Scranton, Pennsylvania, next door to the Kane's Warehouse me and a friend saw a yellow rectangle with a small and thin but very bright trail touched down nearby and shortly after we saw a tall 8 or 9 foot figure with very large white eyes standing about 30 feet from us. It was hidden behind a few trees but it growled and right after a spotlight with a low humming sound hit us and maybe scanned us and we ran out of the field near the school where me and my friend were enjoying ourselves (my friend had a drink in him, I was sober). It was very sudden and abrupt and wasn't able to take any video or pictures.

Hartland, MI
Standing in a parking lot in Hartland, MI on May 26, 2021 at approximately 9:55pm. Myself and my partner were looking up at the night sky, stargazing. Suddenly we both look to the west, about 60 degrees up from the horizon, and there is a long band of light, with what appears to be multiple light sources along the band. This band of light was a straight line. The band moved from direct west to southwest, before dimming and entirely disappearing. It did not move at incredible speed. At first I thought it may be a plane's landing lights shining on clouds, but there were no blinking or colored lights visible and cloud cover was extremely light, and the dimming and eventual disappearance does not add up to me.

It was a large object with neon bright blue and white light that moved very fast then got smaller like it disappeared into the sky. Almost like watching a firework disappear but instead of falling it went up and disappeared

Sequim, WA
Recently in Sequim, Washington State, I saw the most amazing thing ever and feel compelled to share this with all interested. I now know the truth on this particular subject. Sunday night 5/17/2021, at 22:40 I decided to hit the sack earlier than normal. Partly because my 150lb Lab/Rot mix was pestering me, as he was ready to zonk out. I left my Man-Cave and headed for the house. As I reached my back door, I noticed something shimmering in the night sky. It was a clear night, only a sudden weather change brought in some low clouds. From here on I will relate my first impressions. This shimmering object was quite a distance from me, to my left and at about a 65-degree angle up towards the NW. It was in the atmosphere and may have been over The Strait of Juan de Fuca? It looked long and lay horizontal in the sky. At first, I thought it might be lights reflecting off an odd shaped cloud. That's until I realized it was moving to the East. Heck, that was no cloud! The shimmering seemed hypnotic and perhaps caused by the atmosphere? This object was going to pass right through my Northern view. I estimate it was moving just a bit slower than a commercial Jetliner when they pass over. At that point I knew this was something unusual. So, I ran for my vehicle to retrieve a pair of binoculars and by the time I fished them out, the object was straight across from me. I was facing North and when I peered through the optics at this object, my world changed! I could not believe what I was clearly seeing, yet knew exactly what I was seeing... a craft, a real UFO! Only this thing was HUGE! I'll get right to the point... it looked like the Freaking Empire State building floating in the sky on its side, only bigger and perhaps more like the World Trade Center!!! This clearly was a craft with 70 to 100+ windows patterened on its side. Just like a skyscraper at night with about 30% of the windows dark/off. The windows on were lit from within and surely what caused the shimmering. These were not navigation l! ights. Nor were they flashing. The structure of this craft was clear. It was like watching a Science Fiction Movie, when the big Mother Ship arrives to earth! Only this thing was real and no way ours! I was observing a side view, which seemed about 4 stories tall. I did not see a top or bottom view or different angle of the craft. Again, just picture the side view of a flying modern skyscraper. Through my binoculars I saw structure. No doubt in my mind this was a craft. Stunned I watched as it moved to my right. A much closer to me cloud bank would soon obstruct my view. When about one third of its front end was hidden by the clouds, it suddenly stopped. Then its trailing end started rotating to the horizontal upward position and stopped at about 65 degrees. At that point it descended. I watched until fully hidden by clouds. This craft was so big that I kind of expected to hear a crash! None came and this entire event was silent. If this craft was over water, it may have plunged in? I know what I clearly saw- a huge UFO, now etched into my mind forever! Certainly, someone else may have seen it and hope they come forward. Hey US Military... there is NO Way you don't know about this object on this night! Tell us the truth! For me seeing is believing and I can now say for certain, UFOs, crafts not of this world are REAL! I've shared this sighting with others who know me. Yet few seemed surprised/excited, even care. Oh well. Seeing this craft filled me with a sense off... Now I Know!

At around 9:30pm may 16 2021 we had a crescent moon so i brought out the telescope to look at the moon. while looking at a the moon very close, i think i was using 9mm lense and had a very clear and close view of every detail on the moon. I watched a rectangle shaped ship go from the bottom of the moon that was lit up by the sun and up to the dark part of the moon. The ufo moved very quick and traveled the surface of the moon in about 3 seconds. I also noticed it was fairly bigger than most of the craters on the moon and it left a shading on the ground as it traveled. I came to the conclusion it must have been massive for me to see it as i did. It had the shape of a rectangle if you rounded off its edges and thinned out the front of it.It caught me off guard so i didnt get many detailed on it but it was dark like black or smokey gray.The ufo had no lights nore did it leave a trail. I watched for several hours after that to see it it would come back around se! eing as it moved so fast but never did. I use the telescope alot to take a look at the moon. its a decent telescope and like i said i get really really close detail to the surface and never seen anything pass by the moon like that or that size or even leaving a shadow on the surface. It was pretty interesting. I sometimes see wierd things fly by but you can tell its usually something in our own atmosphere so i kno the difference between the two. Feel free to contact me.

At approximately 10:35 PM, my female companion noticed a bar of light moving across the sky behind the treetops of a nearby mountain. The first words uttered about the object were, "Is that a train?". Moments later the bar of light moved out of the wooded treetops and into the sky (it had been in the sky all along, but was merely obscured by the trees). It was a horizontal flat line of light punctuated by several brighter circular points along the line. How distant the object was was difficult to discern, but seemed to be flying lower than the planes in the night sky, and was 5-8x the size in our field of view. It moved slowly from West to East across the sky. It wasn't long before it began to go from completely horizontal to being at a 45-60 degree angle, without changing its trajectory or movement pattern. It was at some point during this transition that I took the photo, wherein you can see the object at around 30 degrees from its horizontal pos! ition. The camera I used was on a new Samsung phone, which has a low light mode that leaves the shutter open for 3 seconds. The photo appears to show a dark outline, possibly illuminated by similar lights on the other side of the craft.

Object was rectangular in shape approximately 2 city blocks long by 2-3 stories high and emitting a bright white light from within from one end to the other. I estimate it was 1/2 mile from me at an altitude of approximately 1500 feet, flying a set trajectory from west to east down the middle of Fort Peck Lake at Fourchette Bay, speed approximately 100-150 mph. It made no sound on a particularly quiet night. I am in possession of a picture of this object.

I walk my dog every night from 14th street and 5th Avenue to 16th street and Union Square West and usually take a photo of the Empire State Building for my zoom background for work. My firm is located in Overland Park, KS so my co-workers enjoy seeing the colors of this building as they change every night. I have seen similar craft on more than one occasion this was not my first time. My dog stopped when I did to take the photo but remained fixated toward the Empire State Building (18 blocks north of us and I had to pick him up and carry him home).

It was early in the morning just before sunrise, approximately 4:50am on May 9th 2021. I was outside in my backyard checking to see if I could spot smoke from an out-of-control forest fire that was in the area. While I was outside I saw a large craft slowly drift overhead, without making a sound. It drifted in a northeast direction, and I'm not sure how high it was but I got a excellent view of the object. To me it looked like a satellite that was very close up. It was a thin rectangular shape with a black strip down the middle, and the arms/wings glowed yellow, like it was reflecting sunlight. I don't know if it had it's own light source or whether the light was reflected from the rising sun. I watched it for around 30 seconds and then I thought I would run in the house and grab a camera. I was in the house for about a minute and when I went back outside the object was gone. At the speed that it was drifting I thought I would be able to go inside and grab the camera and still be able to get the picture, but it was gone.

I saw a row of 5 white lights moving from southwest to northeast and slowly 1 by 1 faded away at the same point in the sky.
