Their were 3 crafts, 1 larger one that was located, from my direction. Over Hood Canal bridge, the other two were North of the other craft. Wasn't sure quite what I was seeing.. Went back to bed .about a hour later got up again. The littler crafts had left the bigger one still their watching for awhile the 10 min later they showed back up. There were rain clouds saw a lazer come out of the craft and turn the rain cloud white. Like it took the water out of the cloud. I lock the doors went back too bed. Too nervous too say anything. But its True it happened.

It was very dark so I did not see it very well, but I saw a jet black flat pyramid that was hovering but slightly moving left to right as it was staying almost still. I freaked out and ducked under my windowsill, and when I peeked back up it started to move away. It almost looked like it was changing shape but it could have been the change of perspective as it moved away. It was about 15 meters off the ground. It seemed to somehow glow as I should not have been able to see it because of how dark it was, so it was widely luminescent. The next day I woke up on the floor of my living room, and it was a Sunday, so I skipped a day. I didn’t question it as I was very scared and tried to act normal so I did not tell anyone. I don’t know if it abducted me or something but I missed a whole day.

Belvidere, IL
Aircraft larger than a plane suspended in the air. It had lights on it like a plane, but was just hovering. It was triangular in shape and slate colored. We were headed East bound on State Street when we saw the aircraft hovering on the south side of the street. No noise, no movement. We drove up to the nearby dog park to turn around to get video/pictures. There are trees in between the dog park and conservation area so as we were headed down the gravel drive to turn around the craft became out of sight. We turned around, came back out, turned West onto State street and the aircraft was gone without a sound or any sign that it took off.

Saw it as I was exiting SB Highway 280 in San Jose at Bird Ave. I was driving and tried to keep an eye on it as it was moving...south east. I wanted to be able to pull over and record it. I did, but my eyes lost sight of it, when my iphone was capturing it. It's not great video and is likely nothing.

Sioux Falls, SD
This morning at about 11:20 AM, my daughters and I saw about 20 very large, low flying, shiny, white objects moving silently back and forth in a synchronized formation above us. My eldest daughter (13yr.) saw them first, for about 15 seconds, before she ran to tell me. They were flying in a completely unfamiliar fashion. The sky was clear and it was sunny, so we had a sharp view of them. The objects wove around each other, sometimes holding a position and hovering for a few seconds before rearranging. They also circled around and followed each other at a steady speed. After about two minutes they turned west and then north. I quickly grabbed my phone to take a picture and ran outside. Unfortunately, by the time I had my camera on, the objects had reached a much higher altitude and started to leave. They flew north so fast that we lost sight of them within seconds. I just caught them disappearing above our spruce trees. We can't tell if it was a trick of the light, but some appeared to be spheres, some ovals, and one may even have been disc-shaped. My youngest daughter (9 yr.) believes she saw some of the objects break off and head east, stop, and then vanish in the same direction. The event lasted for 3 minutes at the most. We regret not being able to capture images of the objects more closely and can only send the attached video and 4 photos. If you move the video slowly right in the beginning you can just make out the white objects right above the tree, disappearing in the distance.

Saw a small spot in the sky, that started glowing orange, as it was getting brighter, went inside and grabbed phone. Thought at 1st maybe the moon, but realized the moon isn't ever seen over in that location from my location. Took a few still shots and 1 video. I could see in both still shots and video a color of orange that looked like flames of a fire, but not jetting out from it. As I continued to record it, it could be seen that it was moving North & after I stopped recording, it disappeared. [NUFORC annotation: Moon - Probable]

Le 23 avril 2023 au soir, un résident (T1) d’OFFRANVILLE (76) est dans son jardin pour observer une aurore boréale. Le ciel est dégagé, il prend des clichés. Des nuages se forment, le témoin aperçoit alors un PAN, dans le ciel. Au début, il n’y prête pas attention. Simultanément, à son domicile, le fils du témoin (T2) aperçoit également le PAN, et en prend des photos qu'il envoie à son père, via son téléphone portable. Surpris T1, le témoin initial prend à son tour des clichés du PAN. Un seul témoignage sera recueilli sur ce phénomène. D’étrangeté très faible et de très bonne consistance* (4 témoins, mais un seul témoignage rapporté au GEIPAN, illustré par de nombreuses photos), ce cas s’avère être une méprise avec l’ombre du clocher de l’église projetée sur des nuages bas et formée par un projecteur situé au pied de l’édifice (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). *selon les critères du GEIPAN, la consistance est la quantité d’informations considérées comme fiables, recueillies pour un témoignage. L’aspect visuel du PAN correspond parfaitement avec la forme du clocher tors d’Offranville (76), reconnaissable notamment grâce aux petites cloches présentes sur un côté, correspondant aux structures sombres du PAN visibles sur une des photographies faites par les témoins. L’immobilité du PAN, sa hauteur angulaire importante et l’alignement entre le projecteur, le clocher et le témoin renforcent l’hypothèse explicative. De plus, l’identification du clocher a été confirmée ultérieurement par le témoin lui-même, qui a indiqué avoir revu le PAN à plusieurs reprises depuis l’observation. Le cas est classé A, observation de l’ombre du clocher de l’église projetée sur des nuages bas et formée par un projecteur situé au pied de l’édifice. [GEIPAN classification A — ombre portée sur nuages]

I looked out of the window of my apartment upon which I saw three grey, metallic, spherically shaped objects flying outside. The objects were approximately half a mile away, flying at a few hundred feet above the ground. They appeared to have be relatively small (perhaps 10 feet in diameter), flew in conjunction with one other, and did not appear to be flying sole with the wind. They moved at relatively low speeds and did not appear to possess any visible forms of propulsion. I have a video of the encounter on my phone, spanning a minute and six seconds long. I currently a student at the University of Florida. I was the only person in my apartment to witness this incident. Appears to be 3 balloons tethered together. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

Goleta/Santa Barbara, CA
I work as a paramedic in Santa Barbara County night shifts. Around 2:30 in the morning I was looking up the windshield and I saw what it look like a triangle with lights fly pretty low to the ground right over the ambulance. Right after that, I saw what it look like may be a shooting star, but I’ve seen shooting stars in the past, and this was not a shooting star. We worked our way to downtown Santa Barbara East Beach along with my partner and we were looking up in the sky, looking for anything else. When we saw what it looked like a boomerang fly silently no wind no noise right above us. Almost look like a moving shadow with no lights. We saw it for about seven seconds before it disappeared. We called another ambulance, which is my coworker and her partner to come witness this with us when we saw the same craft looking like a boomerang multiple times maybe about 10 times about 25 to 30 minutes apart throughout the night until 0500 hrs. The interesting thing is the first sighting that I saw in Goleta with the triangle with the bright lights flying over the ambulance, I never saw that exact same one throughout the night. They all appeared as boomerangs with no lights. After seeing them multiple times downtown Santa Barbara east beach to be exact, we went back to Goleta California to finish up the night when I looked up, and I saw two more of those boomerang shaped crafts, with no lights hover above us before they disappeared. My coworker who is coming in that morning to work the day shift was able to witness two of those crafts that morning. Including myself, it was a total of five witnesses that we saw these crafts. Some of those boomerang shadows once they pass by, there was like a shooting star type of thing right after. A bright light travel fast and disappeared. I’ve seen UFOs when I was younger and small little lights in the day. But nothing where I can see the shape of a ship type of thing hover above us silently at a high rate of speed. I attempted to record video open nothing with him, because there’s no lights on these boomerang type of ships that my camera would catch.

Spotted very bright object not moving north of the city. Object pulsated in cycles. Being very bright to very dim.I did not look away the whole time. Object began to move very slowly. Almost imprecivably. Object was moving east and seemed to be below the cirrus clouds. The wind was very calm on the ground but I could tell there were winds aloft by the direction of cloud dissapation. Object traveled perpendicular to wind direction.

Was looking at the northern lights they were beautiful and as I focused on one part of the sky 3 small looking moving oval objects formed as a triangle. Within seconds all 3 separated from one another and zipped through sky. About 20ish minutes later I saw one oval object again it appeared in the sky and bolted.

Ramona, CA
I awoke early morning of Sunday, April 23, to use the restroom. While walking to my bathroom a very bright light outside the window occurred, followed by a sharp sport light being directed by something from above my home. When done using the restroom, upon returning to my bed the same sequence of lights lectured from outside my window on the other side of the house. Very bright, coming from above, and certainly being directed by someone or something. I live in a rural part of the country outside Ramona, it is very dark and certainly was not car lights or something else. I was quite frightened and was not about to go outside and investigate as I am not armed or ability to protect myself. It was as if, something was trying to lure me outside. This was not a natural phenomenon, the light was extremely bright, intentional and being directed. I am even days later, contemplating what this was and from whom. I know in my heart these lights came from above, and from a UFO, which was completely silent as my window was open. Scary to say the least, and waking up all hours of the night these days wondering if it or they will return. I retn a room in this house in Ramona and will be returning to my residence in WA the end of June.

I've seen many UAP's from my back deck over the past couple years. Tonight I just witnessed a green glowing orb materialize in the east direction from my back deck at approximately 2000ft traveling at a very fast speed in a downward descent as if it was going to crash possibly but it was probably 10 miles away from my view point and I couldn't see beyond the treeline as it was rapidly descending.

On April 23, 2023 I was on a welding contract with Polaris which is located in Huntsville, Alabama. The room I was staying was about 20 miles west of the Polaris plant in Huntsville, Alabama. I was outside my room door smoking a cigarette when I noticed up in the sky what appeared to me at the time a airplane ascending, however in mid ascension the craft stopped and hovered , I ran back in my room and got my cellphone and started recording. While the craft was ascending it had different colored light, a really bright green, a very bright red a bright white light. The craft reversed direction and

Went out on my patio tonight to have a puff. I observed looking east above the mountain range, and what seemed above a low cloud deck a beam of light, with 2 other lights below it in the shape of a triangle. At first I thought it was a commercial jet or a few jets with there lights on moving through the clouds. Although after watching for about 2mins the lights did not move. At this point I grabbed my daughter to come out and see. We watched for about another 3 mins. Whatever we saw did not move. I would estimate maybe about 20000ft. No sound, no aviation blinking lights and again no movement. All of a sudden top light flashed out, 10 secs later bottom right flashed out, 10 sec after that bottom light flashed out! And was gone and back to normal skies WEIRDEST. I have a video of the event, but says it's to large..reach out if you want it.

Upland, CA
“Ok, so I’m sitting in my backyard right now, Upland Ca, near the San Antonio Hospital, just finished watching the Davis/Garcia fight. I have my lights off here out back just having my first beer of the night. Well, I decided to just look up into the night sky, just staring at stars, wondering about what’s really out there. Mind you, I’ve been on this really weird, needing to know more knowledge type of deal lately, recently just bought Einsteins Theory of Relativity, his Ideas and Opinions book. Those just came in the mail, but I’ve been reading currently, J Allen Hyneks “The Hynek UFO Report”. I’ve just been really really intrigued by UFO/UAPs lately, with all this talk going on right now, and I’ve always been into the phenomenon since I was a kid. I looked up into the night sky, now, who knows what it could’ve been, but it was a VERY VERY dim lighting, blended into the night sky almost, 3 Circles in a triangle and just gliding very smoothly and effortlessly across the sky, no sound at all, but who knows how high up it was. I will definitely draw what I saw and post it, and I’ll post pics of where I was sitting and towards where I was looking. But immediately I texted my wife to tell her what I saw and immediately opened up my Flight Radar app, and there was nothing around that would be flying on radar, no planes or helicopters, Mind you I live by the hospital and I hear the helicopters come in and out all the time, the Upland airport isn’t too far from me also. But this wasn’t anything that had any type of jet engine, or any propulsion system (at least from what I couldn’t hear). Who knows, could’ve been a drone? But I’d imagine I’d here the little rotors goin as it fly over me? Definitely weird, mind you, there are no current winds here in Upland Ca, so it could not have been a balloon flying that fast, for those balloon enthusiasts, nice try. It was very weird indeed. I didn’t even think about recording until now that I’m writing this, but it was so dim the camera probably wouldn’t have picked it up, I could barely keep track of it before it got lost over the horizon of my neighbors houses/trees. Current time 22:19 4-22-23, id say I saw this around 2200? If you’re in Upland, keep your eyes open! Edit: does anyone that may be around Upland Ca know where we could report something like this? Or anyone know anywhere? If this really is a UFO and we as a collective are trying to gather research info I feel like this needs to be reported to the appropriate place. Edit: it is 22:44 and there were two tremendously loud explosions here in Upland Ca near me. I don’t know if it was fire works or not but the timing of what I saw and to the explosions is weird. I know my neighbors app is going to go crazy right now, may not be related at all but I thought I’d keep you guys updated, I’ll post screen shots of my Ring app if anyone figures out what those explosions were Edit 3: I have reported this sighting on the MUFON website” 4-23-23 the object was big enough for me to define the shape and what it looked like, but small enough to where during the flight path, this object fit in between the tree on my left and right, if that makes sense?

Clearwater, FL
On my evening walk, at 8:40 PM on April 22, 2023, at the intersection of my driveway and Belleair Road, looking South, I saw fire orbs rise above the tree line and travel West to East, rising, darting, and falling. There was a series of 9 by my count. After traveling a ways, when they reached a point in the East, they disappeared. Earlier, and during the flight of the orbs, I saw a helicopter and planes, and each had blinking lights, and were not this orange fire color. Those flew in direct lines, and were smooth flying, no sudden moves or changes of direction. The orbs I saw made no sound, flew randomly but continued West to East, some changed direction in a darting fashion, side to side and up and down. There was no blinking, no sound, no exhaust that I could see or hear. They started right about dusk, and continued for about 21 minutes. I made a video, which offers commentary, and posted it here: https://youtu.be/mD5yZsvGEbY

The object was almost directly overhead when I first saw it but it had moved SE some before the video starts. It changed speeds and stopped several times. I live 5 miles south of the Knoxville TN airport and I see a lot of aviation traffic of all types here including a lot of military fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. I grew up as an Air Force Brat so I'm used to seeing aircraft my entire life. Feel free to contact me if there are any questions about this sighting.

Spokane Valley, WA
Multiple people on the I-90 in Spokane Valley, Washington witnessed a stationary flying object. Depending on the angle, it looked rocketship-shaped or cylindrical with a dome top. It was visible and didn't move for about 20 minutes while we drove down I-90. Don't know how long it has been visible. It must be pretty large to be visible for so long and from different angles. At one point there may have been a flashing light from the base of the object.
