These weren’t satellites and they varied in size and color. They moved silently across the sky well over 30000 feet with about 99% clear visibility from the ground traveling towards northwest part of Georgia towards Tennessee.

We walked outside and my boyfriend looked up and said babe what is that? I seen the same thing back in 1999, so I ran inside for a phone to record. It was a line of at least 20 orbs of light, connected by strands of the same color light. It stayed very still and just passed on by. Lasted about 1-2 mins. This color was a light blue/white. I know it’s not Starlink because I seen this same thing over 20 years ago but a different color and there were two lines of them with less amount of orbs. Same speed, same design. I later on found the same picture in a UFO book at school 2 years later and it said they can be different colors. Then a different aircraft passed by 10 minutes later, lights like a drone, but it was loud in the sky, too low for a plane. And it stayed around the neighborhood for some time. My boyfriend recorded the video. After it was all done with we went to check the video, it never recorded. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

This object appeared quite high in the sky there are always aircraft flying in the night sky (non at the time of the sighting) coming into Malta Airport the object was a lot higher than local air traffic It was its length that caught our eye and the fact it was at least 4-5 times the length of any aircraft flying at that height its speed was that of an aircraft Not fast but again not slow and flying in a different direction to local aircraft traffic a local witness told us the direction it was travelling Malta towards Sicily As it was dark the shape of the object couldn't be identified it was like a worm with white lights. The lights were the same size and distance apart without noise or any other flashing lights or power source as it went into the distance the lights slowly disappeared merged to one as it disappeared into the night sky [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

The currently unidentified object appeared to be changing in the video when zoomed in, sometimes appearing then getting hazy before changing shapes again. Sky around object looks hazy and distorted.

Astronomy is a hobby of mine. At 8:12pm my wife texted and said my son wanted to know what planet was northeast. I knew there shouldn’t be one at that time so I came out and saw a light that was comparable to the size and luminosity of Venus, but nowhere near the location of Venus and much too early to be seeing any other astronomical body. I opened my astronomy app and nothing should have been there. I laid down with it right on the corner of a building for 30-60 sec and I did not see movement. I got out my telescope and saw that it was a very bright ring with 10-12 impossibly bright lights around the outside. It appeared to be hollow. I called my brother in Lincoln and he could see it from where he was as well but in a much different direction. We shot some azimuths and using trig we estimated it was roughly above Palmyra and about 11.5 miles up. I started to notice that it was in fact moving imperceptibly slowly south and maybe slightly west. I followed it for at least 30 min. As the sun went down the stars got brighter and it slowly faded. As it got darker I could see a distinct blinking light in the center that pulses at roughly 1bps, but all of the other individual lights I had seen had disappeared. I wish I had some better pictures but none of my astrophography stuff was charged or accessible. These are both from my iPhone 14. One is at peak brightness prior to using my telescope, and the other was towards the end through my eyepiece as it was getting dark and fading. It looks like a star out of focus in a telescope, but I assure you it was focused. The ghosting was due to a long exposure in low light. Despite the appearance of a ring with lights around the outer bottom, we believe that the way it just drifted and definitely had a blinking light and based on its rough altitude that it was probably a spy balloon or something.

Object was stationary when spotted and chased off by what appeared to be a plane.

Watched for over an hour with naked eye and a basic telescope figured reflection from setting sun. It dimmed out after sun went down a flashing light on bottom when dark then lost it. Maybe an Army balloon when I looked it up. It was south of SAC. Offit Air Force Base or a UAP Thanks

Bright white circle appeared in NE and instantly shot NW, it was between Cesna and commercial flight height, maybe 10000-15000ft and size of quarter in my finger measurement, distance covered was about 4 inches in tenths of a second. It left a perfect white light trail its whole distance that all disappeared at the exact same time as the ufo. The streak was so defined and clear I could see windsheer around the object seperating the light from the object. There was no sound and this was not a exhaust trail like a plane, it was just bright white light.

Just got home got out of my car and looked to the left and saw first one orb and second appeared at fast speed. Second one did fast loops around first orb. Then left there was bright light in the sky that looked like sun was rising. Pulled up on radar there where no planes in the sky

I keep reporting UFO sighting but no one seems to care. The unknown entities/ aliens / devils are after me. I need help. I have an implant. I have a picture to share this time.. I hope that is believable enough for you. The UFO appeared over a peak and west of the community I live in. I looked like a star but It appeared and disappeared. It was stationary. The object was an orb and glowed with a light white. I even looked at it with a binoculars. I also took several picture with my cellphone. I am sharing one with the cropped out subdivision for privacy reasons. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

Spotted the object in the sky, seemed distant based on air particulate. It was clearly rotating. I watched it for a minute or two until I realized I couldn't identify it. I realized it probably wasn't a bird or aircraft. I then grabbed my phone and snapped 3 zoomed photos. Phone is a Samsung S10+, and photos include a 2 second motion video. Uploading zoomed screen captures and zoomed video captures. I think you can make out the rotation and wobble. Original media can be made available on request.

It appeared to be a sphere travling at a high atilitude and very fast. The flashes seemed to be from reflecting in the sun. It was spotted from Robins Air Force Base control tower. It seemed to be traveling behind another aircraft that was at FL 280. It was spotted to the North West traveling South East. It was not observed on our radar.

Picture number one, you can see it just to the left of the sun rise Picture number two it has moved up and you can see the color is green. It is still to the left of the sunrise. Pictures of three, four, and five, to the right, you can see a green glow very clearly and its shape, as well as a glow below it [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

Was looking at a sky that had no other visible stars or planets…a hovering, what appeared to be a red ball with momentary energy spikes shooting from it from time to time…but when recorded and played back and zoomed in with an iPhone XR appeared white and flashing…play video back and zoom in tight Had seen same thing back in October but near Brentwood Homewood Suites and either time there were no aircraft present…make.certain you zoom in on object in video as tight as possible [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

Unfortunately, my phone's camera was only able to catch a glimpse of the brighter object momentarily before becoming too dim to be captured, again. In the video, you will see a light become brighter then dim. My eyes could see way more than my phone's camera was capable of picking up at the time. The UAP I captured on camera was the bright object you see speed up, slow down, and dim. It was bright and light yellow and more conspicuous. I point out where it will appear, prior. When you watch the video, I say and point out where it will appear, and it does. This is because I watched them perform various maneuvers prior to the recording. There was a second dimmer, light blue object that would follow it using odd maneuvers, as well. Before, during, and after the recording, I would view the bright one appear in the sky, move, and dim. The dim one would appear somewhat alongside it and it really did seem like they were "playing" almost like you would see at an airshow. They would always come from the same direction and general region of the sky and dim out to the right before reappearing back to the left. This seems like a satellite flair, but it doesn't explain the maneuvers I witnessed them display. It was also about 2 AM, so I'm not sure if satellites in LEO can flair at that time unless the moon somehow illuminated them. Neither object displayed typical orbital flight characteristics (persistent line across the sky). I've seen fighter jets, I'm hesitant to suggest that's what these were due to the altitude, silence, lights, and recurring flight origins. I'm unfamiliar with drones at that altitude and brightness. That being said I'm open to suggestions because I'm not educated on fighter jet and drone capabilities. When I first witnessed them I saw what I thought were three stars in the sky. They became brighter and began moving oddly. I don't recall if the third light ended up being a star or another UAP, but I don't remember seeing it again. The camera is pointed NNE, from Albuquerque, New Mexico, towards the Los Alamos area. Footage was captured 05/03/2023 1:48 AM MT. I can confirm multiple witnesses now who were informed by an individual who witnessed it prior. The individual had prior knowledge of the phenomenon and advised them the exact constellation (Cassiopeia) and time (circa the time I recorded) and they witnessed the same event on the same day at the same time in the same exact area of the sky. I believe it had been witnessed prior multiple times at that specific time range.

Was standing outside my car eating dinner when I saw a strange light. It was bright and appeared to be hovering. I knew it was odd so I took two pictures. Right after I took them I seen what appeared to be two fighter jets that spilt up and circled around craft. I never seen anything like it in my life

While camping on the Santa Maria River in the spring of 2008, my friend and I looked out the tent and saw beams being emitted in a lateral fashion approximately 900-1,500 feet above the valley floor. Initially the beam was emitted from one craft, towards the other craft (that we did not know was there yet). The initial beam was a neon blue hue, the beam traveled in what seemed to be slow motion, and only for a couple of hundred feet before dissipating. A second craft then emitted a beam back towards the first craft with a neon green beam in the same way. There was no sound emitted from the crafts, and they seemed to be hovering in place. The crafts had a few exchanges of beams in this way, and then disappeared without further consequence. My tent mate rolled to me, asked if I saw that, I responded that I did and then we rolled over and went to sleep dumbfounded and a bit terrified. The crafts were never visible, just the beams were visible. At the time of the sighting, my friend and I had just graduated college with environmental degrees. We were not under the influence of any substances. There is no history of mental illness of any kind.

About 7 PM on May 2,2023 I noticed a sphere shape object hovering stationary on top of a military hangars inside Luis Muñoz Marín international airport in San Juan Puerto Rico. The UAP stayed in the same spot for more than 10 minutes before getting dark and lost sight of the reflection emerging from the object. This object had no visible cord when I got close to the site. Meaning that this object was not a weather balloon attached to a facility inside the airport.

I was taking photos of my daughter and grand daughter on the back porch of my cabin on top of the mountain and something flying by in the distance at about the same level I was, flashed (reflection from sun on top I assumed) a very bright light and I hurriedly walked to the other end of the porch to get a view before it went behind the trees and disappeared. It was a dark object flying in a westerly direction. I heard no sound. It flashed at least one more time while I watched. Honestly, it looked more like a big giant bird than any plane or helicopter and if it hadn't flashed that bright light (reflection) I would have identified it as such.

I was travelling home to run some errands at lunch around 12:15 on Hwy 58 east bound near Buffalo Junction. I saw a silver oval shaped object flying left to right across 58. I was watching it while driving and when it got directly over 58 it disappeared. Completely clear blue skies. It was probably 1/4 mile ahead of me so if I had to guess the size I would say about the size of a compact car.

Today 9:20 am Tuesday 5/2/23 I was driving back from the store when stopped at a red light I noticed an object approx. 150-250 feet in the air ascending into a cloud for about 7-12 seconds. The object had a defined front nose with a blurred nontangable rear. Orange glow that appeared to encompass the object as it flew upward into a cloud. Aura or glow- bright enough I could see it broad daylight. At this point the traffic light turned green and I had to focus on the road again. I first thought it may have been a plane behind the sun rising- then I realized the sun was in the other direction.

I clearly saw a black hollow triangle shaped jet or space craft with 3 red lights at each point moving very slowly maybe doing a survey.. the object had no middle to it or it was invisible through the middle. I could clearly see the sky and clouds straight through it, but right above was a triangle with 3 lights at each point slowly moving through the sky it disappeared into the clouds I suppose it went higher but I waited 20 minutes waiting for it and couldn't see it anymore for sure.
