I was looking out my bedroom window before closing it. Looked to my left because of a bright lights there was no moon out and I saw a triangle craft with lights from end to end on it and a long cylinder craft to the left of it ( only 1 light on it ) they were northwest of my home. There was no sound from them the night was totally silent. I tried to take a picture ( night vision on my phone) they showed in my view finder but my phone would not work. I turned around took a picture of my bed it worked try to take one again and nothing. I watched them for about 45 minutes and they did not move before going on to bed. We have a neighborhood talk site I checked it for several days and no one has mentioned seeing anything that night

So as I was on the deck I saw lights coming towards me in the woods. Then saw it come right on the other side of the street between two house hovering just above the houses. I panicked and called my dad since no one knew I tried contacting something through remote viewing. Then took video and photos of what I saw. Nothing can explain the movement of this craft. Also I could feel a magnetic field pulsating.

Was sitting on my couch on the phone when I saw a very bright light on the water of the lake in front of the house. The moon would have been behind me at this time not in front of me so I was intrigued. Walked outside and saw an incredible bright light in the sky. I took some pictures and ran inside to get binoculars. After viewing through binoculars you could make out the shape and structure. Bright lights on top and bottom of the circle with a perimeter of smaller lights wrapped around the outside/middle of the craft. The craft was stationary and visible from the western hemisphere for around 15 minutes then took off towards Greenville NY heading west.

I got my cellphone and videoed for two minutes at 8x magnification. But it was out there for several hours. A friend on FB said she saw it, too. Was not traveling in a straight line like the space station. It was jumping back and forth, up and down. It was a bright orb with something in the center. It was not a spotlight. One small plane flew past, but I don't know if they saw it. Your site says my video is too big to upload. I posted it on FB. It won't upload my photo.Just wondering what it might be.

I watched to balls of solid lights fly together and go behind a building I finish recording and 2 seconds later i look up and they are well apart above the building. They were clearly moving very fast as it was very far away. My camera isn’t good quality but they were solid balls of light. Couldn’t be anything that travels in a straight path and it left no trail

Kelmscott/Perth, WESTERN · Australia
It was 1995 or 96. I was heading home from the shops, on foot. I looked towards Woolworths when I heard a young boy scream and point up. It was clear as day, a large black triangle, hovering just above Woolworths in Kelmscott. I was in complete awe, and lost for words. I was watching it for what seemed like a minute or so, and suddenly it vanished so fast, it was unbelievable. Gone in less than a split second. The young boy was still freaking out, so I helped him go to the video store to call his mum. He just kept screaming "I want my mum, I want my mum". The lady in the shop called his mother for him, and she collected him. I am autistic, and I didn't know that I was meant to report this sighting. I am now 52 years of age, and as there are more and more sightings, I thought it best to report now. Thank you. I am happy for anyone to come and ask me questions.

I was awoken by Great Pyrenees dog that was sleeping by bed- he was panting. I got up and let both of the dogs outside. They immediately began barking and looking up in N.W. direction. I looked across field from house and saw something which appeared to have lights in a diamond shape . The object seemed to collapse and become round. I watched for a min and went to window on north side of house, opened it to take video of object.which now appeared round shape - mostly a red and then sometimes yellow in color. I filmed for a short time as object appeared to be moving. It was difficult to hold phone steady however: I’m quite certain it was moving when I observed it when not trying to take viideo.This area is rural- I could hear another dog barking in the distance. After filming object, I shut window . The object appeared smaller and then no longer visible. I did not get video of object before the shape changed.

[N77] De Neuvy-Sautour, Bourgogne · France
Le 11 mai 2023 en fin d'après-midi, un témoin, passagère d'un bus circulant sur la N77 de Neuvy-Sautour (89) vers Saint-Florentin (89) et traversant le hameau de Courcelles (89) observe un rideau d'eau sous un nuage très noir : un PAN semble sortir de ce nuage, laissant derrière lui une trainée grise persistante. L'observation est très courte (2 à 3 seconde pour le PAN et plusieurs minutes pour la trainée) mais coupée par de nombreux obstacles visuels (arbres et constructions). Un seul témoignage a été recueilli. D'étrangeté et de consistance* moyennes (témoin unique, pas de photo du PAN), l'hypothèse de l'observation de deux phénomènes distincts rejaillit de l'enquête (oiseau et ligne supérieure d'un nuage distant) mais le manque de précision et la fugacité d'une des deux observations ne nous permet pas de conclure (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). Aucun élément ne permet de confirmer formellement que le PAN et son tracé sont directement liés, puisqu'ils n'ont pas été observés en même temps. Ils peuvent donc être indépendants l'un de l'autre. La concomitance temporelle des deux observations, successives, ainsi que la forme de la trajectoire du PAN et du tracé ayant suivi, tous deux semblables, ont ainsi pu laisser penser au témoin que le second était la conséquence du premier. Même si l'enquête permet d'explorer des hypothèses, la faible étrangeté et manque de précisions conduit le GEIPAN à classer le cas «C », phénomène non identifié par manque d'information. *Selon les critères du GEIPAN, la consistance est la quantité d'informations considérées comme fiables et objectivées, recueillies pour un témoignage. [GEIPAN classification C — Manque d'informations fiables]

I noticed 2 bright orange/red lights from my kitchen window. I immediately ran outside and watched these objects in the night sky. They seemed to be flying together and at first we thought they could be some sort of lanterns because of the way they seemingly floated up and down but then I watched as they changed colors from orange, red and a whitish color and they seemed to change into different shapes. They went from seemingly floating to taking off like aircraft. Moments after watching them disappear I seen a conventional aircraft seeming to pursue it and fly in the direction of the orbs. Not just one conventional aircraft follow the orbs but 3. All within a minute apart from each other. We live in a remote area and seeing aircraft is unusual in itself. But I am certain the 3 aircraft were in pursuit of the orbs. All while this was happening every dog in the neighborhood seemed to be barking like crazy. The quick video I took of the event does no justice to what it looked like through our eyesight. In the video you can't tell just how bright these objects were!

While driving I saw the night sky light up. I asked my fiance to what could possibly be lighting up the sky like that. We both looked and saw a Ferris wheel shaped spinning object above the trees in the distance. The sky kept lighting up. The object went down and disappeared.

Shortly after sunset noticed a bright white light in the sky that was stationary. Live near NAS Whidbey, and their jets were having heightened activity much of the afternoon. Being able to follow their lights at night and not just the sound, I was able to see the jets doing a perimeter around the light as it hung in the sky. Over the course of 4 hours, it moved very little from where I originally saw it. A call to the base was answered saying they "could not provide me with any information." About a month ago, my fiancee was at the beach about a mile from our home around midnight and she said she saw several of them. The light was over the Pacific Ocean, WNW of the north gate of NAS Whidbey. There were strange noises throughout the night similar to a cello mixed with the echoes of a crotch rocket, that is the best I can describe it. Increased, abnormal military activity today as well.

Last week I left a message about seeing the craft at Behavioral Health Hospital. The face that visible is slightly confusing for me to describe..... How much it looked human except their hair was wildly different. Hair like characters in Avatar movie. Shoulder length. Face tone and skin tone is a secret.

White “dash” approx 100-200’ above ocean. Turned boat towards object. Son saw it. Then in the blink of an eye it went straight down. The speed at which it dropped down out of sight was real fast… way faster than any aircraft.

Got up to let the dog out and noticed what looked like two stars darting around in the sky. They were white and sometimes a secondary red light flashed for a few seconds, but not at regular intervals like an airplane. They were smaller than airplanes. They moved faster than airplanes or helicopters. The way they moved was most like a drone: rapidly darting then staying relatively still. They did not make any noise. I saw smaller white “stars” moving around them. It looked like the smaller objects were engaging them in some way. One of the two original objects disappeared. It seemed like it accelerated out of view in a couple seconds. The remaining object continues to hover and dart in the same area of the sky as I write this 45 minutes later. I am 34, F, college educated, employed. I have no medical conditions, mental health conditions, or medications that would cause hallucinations. I do not use any drugs, including cannabis. I have not consumed alcohol in over 48 hours. I have never seen anything like this before. I am a UFO skeptic and believe all UFOs are man-made, and most are probably military surveillance devices undergoing testing.

I have been processing that this contact has been ongoing over one year which resulted into face to face contact. Most of this started with electronic interference in my phone and laptop, other unexplainable phenomenon. I heard a sound outside my bedroom window, it sounded like a bird, or clicking noise. I went outside and looked up and saw a hundred or more orbs floating. I called to them, as I was somehow unsurprised due to the ongoing strange events. I was frightened because anyone would be. But I held composure and called to one, it flew down nearer to me, but took a while. I spoke to it and said I was going to get in my car and go somewhere there would be more room. I drove to the pier and lighthouse, I did see a few fishermen on the dock, but no other witnesses at the lighthouse where they reappeared, then, there were so many more. And one green, oblong looking plasma - towering, it was probably 20 feet high. I saw it flying from the back of the orbs and they let it through to come closer to me. I spoke to them, and asked them to come closer. It took a while, but they did come and I was around 20 feet from the green one. It looked lumpy or asymmetrical. Not uniform light, like the white orbs. That's because it had overlapping parts. It unfolded. I said, "I'm Dana" and pointed to myself. This is where I get emotional. During the time I was having electronic events on my computer, where it would shut off late at night, or I'd have trouble using it - I was producing art, as an artist and writer. I wrote a poem about my childhood and created a lovely piece of art to go with it. This light being, after I said, "I'm Dana" - actually shapeshifted into a character I described as myself as a child per the poem, in color and shape. As if to say, "Yes, Dana, we know you" You all must know this is going on. I'm struggling emotionally as this is powerful in someone's life. Are there any support groups or therapists who deal with helping someone process this kind of contact? This has been a good experience, and I consider them loving, and peaceful. But I feel isolated and would love some support from others who have maybe gone through this. After this contact, all the electronic phenomenon stopped. What next? Does anyone know what happens next? It doesn't feel like it's over. [NUFORC annotation: Hoax - Possible]

A flash of light caught my eye at 0130. I continued to look and it (they) appeared again. A small, moving dot will suddenly appear and become a really, really bright glowing traveling orb/light. Usually moving with another one or more brightly appearing before vanishing. I have observed the night skies since the early eighties, I am familiar with all the manmade objects and/or sun light reflecting on high objects during the night, meteors, and how moving clouds/fog and moon light create illusions but this (these) I cannot explain. Been observing this each morning as the weather permits since May 1, 2023. Seen several fascinating meteors during this time but my attention has been on the swarm. I have many pics and vids that may or may not help compare. Hope they do. Nevertheless, I am dedicated to find the explanation so my investigation has just begun. With the many similar reports of this it seems like there would be some stupid explanation already .ie weather balloons, ball lightning or some crap. Thanks so much for this site as it is a step in the right direction. Well, i can only upload pics, no vids. They are in order.

Chalamette, LA
I was ghost hunting around the old house on the battlefield. My phone was recording video towards the house when something caught my eye over the river. I turned my head to see a large grey cylinder with round/dome ends flying along the northern bank of the Mississippi river, heading east. My phone was recording in the wrong direction. It took a second to realize what I saw. By then, it was gone. It was only about one second of visual. It was tic-tac shaped but longer than tic-tac renditions I've seen. It was the size of a commercial jet fuselage, dark or medium grey with no lights or sounds. Since it was nighttime, maybe it was medium grey and appeared darker. Hard to judge height and speed, but I'd say 200mph and 60 feet off the ground. I did not get to see it fly off into the distance. It went behind a large live oak tree and disappeared. I'm guessing it made a 90 degree turn to head south. But maybe it cloaked while it was flying behind the tree. The cloud ceiling was very low, heavy overcast, wind from the east. So it was flying into the wind. It was not crisp clear to my eyes. It was slightly blurry or soft focus. Fog/low clouds, combined with speed, and my eyes adjusting could explain why it wasn't super sharp looking. But I saw an artist rendition from a Nexus magazine article that shows the exact same thing, and it's a little blurry in that picture too. So maybe the propulsion or antigravity vibrates/bends the light around it. To the west of Chalamette Battlefield are port terminals and Domino sugar. Maybe they caught it on cctv if cameras are facing the water. The time stamp on my phone when it was recording is 1:09am, but I don't know if the time is recorded at the beginning of the clip or the end. The clip is a few minutes long. So I estimated this happened at 1:13 or so.

Tecate ?, BAJA CAL · Mexico
I'm from Oregon, I'm retired and I live in Rosarito, Baja California, which is about 20 minutes south by car from Tijuana. Went out on my front porch at about 9:38 / 9:40-ish saw two lights in the sky over towards the east / north-east. They were / are dancing pretty good, (it's still on-going as I write this report at 10:15 pm). At first I thought it might be my eyes, I know there is a phenomena where your eye can deceive you into thinking something is moving when it's not. But I was soon disabused of that notion, lol. The light on the right was dancing / moving around far too much and changing it's brightness levels. Looked like it was trying to keep the same position but was failing. I also used the telephone line across the street as a reference level and both lights were changing quite a bit compared to it. Also, I looked at some obvious stars and my eye was not deceiving me, i.e. they just sat there in the same position. I looked back over at the UFO's and they both were moving quite a bit. Then 100% confirmation - a small light dropped out of the big light on the right and went towards the ground. A little later another did the same. If that was not enough then a small light came up from the ground and it looked like it went into the big light on the right. Then the 'slam dunk' - a small light came up super fast from below and shot off into the sky at about a 50 degree angle, towards the south / (my right). Not sure how far away from me they are. 10 miles ? I think over towards Tecate. Not sure but I think on the Mexican side of the border. I just checked right now at 10:22 pm, they're still out there dancing around. I'll be interested to see if there are any there reports of this. I couldn't get any pictures, the camera in my phone was not picking it up. Oh, last thing, the local dogs were not doing their usual barking, they were howling.

These were small craft with one large red light in center traveling in pairs 30-40 miles per hour; they were evenly spaced apart about 20-30 feet; there were a dozen or more traveling in north/northwest direction. I was in line at Taco Bell drive through and Five Mile and Middlebelt Rd

I sit on my balcony every night. This night I am staring at a star and I see movement to the left of the sky. I look at it, and it continues to shoot past my line of vision. I track it with my eyes, it’s going fast and it looks like it’s not trying to be seen but failing to do so in this short time. The craft looked like an almost flat rectangle, it may have had some type of circular lights at the bottom I’m not 100% sure if these were specifically “lights”. It rocks weirdly and then disappears as I am still looking at it. It was as if it was trying to blend in the entire time, but I ended up seeing it anyway! I really wish it would’ve stayed longer so I could have gotten some evidence, I literally had my phone in my hand listening to music. It’s all I can think about these days and I need to tell someone and not sound crazy, so I hope this information helps with something, anything. I just need to tell someone.
