I thought it was Mars at first because of the orange color but it was a little too big and slightly moving around the longer I observed it. My husband saw it as well but thought it was stationary. I disagree, but he said it was due to work fatigue. I focused on it to double check it and there might have been a secondary yellow or white light right next to the orange light. I think if the light was a craft of some kind then the second light was on that same craft. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

It was just below the clouds around 10000 feet. It was at a high rate of speed with no noise. I checked air traffic and plans or helicopters were in the area. It was too low to be a satellite. The light was bright and steady. No other lights were associated with it.

I was facing South at 172 degree(s) and also facing toward the moon when I saw a light appear under the moon and while it was moving in a NW pattern, I noticed it seemed to move like a balloon, rather than a plane or a drone. After about 3-5 seconds, I grabbed my phone, but before I could open up the camera, I saw the light disappear. It seemed fairly high up in the sky, but I couldn’t see that well due to the dark sky, and there were no other aircraft present nearby.

Saw a white light moving across the sky on a southeast heading somewhat slowly, a minute or so later a jet came in the same location as the white light. The white light disappeared. Cool vape trail at night.

The object was moving against the wind - no noise, High cirrus clouds were moving with the wind and it was going against the wind. Was viewed twice - once at 4PM and again at about 445 when I was on the way back on a Kayak. No noise, no contrail nothing. Also it moved slow, then quick, then appeared not to move, then would move away again.

White circle or orb spotted hovering in the sky. The distance was about as high as an airplane.

I was on the side of my friends house, putting some bottles in a recycle bin, and I looked up and saw a strange object/light through the trees, relatively high in the sky. I had my phone with me so I decided to take a couple videos and still photos [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

The object had yellowish white lights. It was about midday, so I don't think it was a satellite. It was moving slowly at first but then accelerated.

I was outside and I saw what I thought was a plane as I always see planes in the air, but this was not a typical plane like I usually see. It was an orange round light slowly moving across the sky, no sound and no blinking. I watched for about 40 seconds and it looked like it slowed then stopped and then vanished. I waited for about three to four minutes looking into the sky, but I did not see it anymore. Who knows how long it was in the sky before I noticed it. And where did it go? Most importantly, what was it? This is not the first time I've seen unusual objects. Me and my partner both witnessed something strange. A handful of years ago in a place where we use to reside at, I was awakened to a strange sound in my kitchen, so I quickly glanced out from our bedroom and I noticed a red orange what looked like a fireball in the center of our kitchen, and it just vanished. While also there, we noticed strange lights moving in the night sky, I think I still may have a video of it somewhere. My partner also has seen a silver cigar shaped object in the sky kind of behind a cloud during the day as we were driving. I also have dreams of seeing UFO's, there are always lots of them with lots of lights, flying everywhere and it's always during the day. The dreams never change. And I always experience loss of time. Even while I am awake. Connected? Visitations? I'm not sure but it's kind of bizarre.

It was like 25 to 30 white dots high in the sky. Looked like stars was out in the day time. They were moving around and looked like they were in a formation of some sort.

Henderson, NV
At approximately 1023 AM while walking northwest along Canyon Village Parkway near Mint Orchard Drive in Henderson, Nevada I had just completed my morning jog when I observed an extremely bright red flash in the skyline just to the east of Black Mountain towards Las Vegas. I then witnessed what appeared to be a round metallic object continue to flash in an extremely bright red light similar to a welding torch. I thought at first it may have been an aircraft reflecting sunlight as the sun was to my back, but it remained stationary approximately 3-5 miles due northwest at about 45 degrees above the skyline just to the east of Black Mountain from my location. It continued to flash brightly for a couple of minutes. There seemed to be no pattern to the flashes. After about 5 minutes, I then witnessed two bright white orbs appear from the east and west of the flashing object. The two orbs were smaller than the first object and stopped to each side adjacent to the flashing red light. The orbs were illuminated in a very bright white light and remained solid in color. After five minutes, all three objects disappeared. There was no sound and I could not tell which direction they went as they just seemed to vanish. As a military veteran, I have no explanation as to what these objects could have been. I definitely know that they were not any aircraft or any balloon.

At about 00:05 hrs in Phoenix, Arizona, from my kitchen window I saw a red & green lighted object acting unusual to the west of my house near 44th Street & Indian School. I grabbed my iPhone and went out to my back yard to video it. I was probably over 2 or 3 miles away at a 20 degree angle above the ground to the west of my house. My wife, Jacque, came out also when I grabbed my iPhone and told her there was an unusual light flying to the west. I also saw and filmed a second object which I only saw for 10 or 15 seconds. The object seemed to be rotating and giving off a green and red light. It acted erratically when it started to move and was able to descend and accend at a fairly fast rate which told me it was not a normal aircraft and was not a helicopter because of the speed of vertical movement. I am a private pilot and very familiar with aircraft lights and motion. We frequently see aircraft flying near by because of our proximity to Sky Harbor Airport 3 miles directly south of us. Both lights shot downward and out of sight after about 5 minutes.

Orange-ish ball of light passed in a virtual line south to north following I-77 near the football HoF. Moved slowly, checked flights nearby and saw none on radar. No noise heard as it passed by. Didn’t record until tail end after checking flights. Is not high in atmosphere.

I saw an object traveling through the jet trail of an airplane. It was traveling faster than the plane. When it reached the plane, it passed right by it and kept going. I wasn't able to get my phone out and start recording until it was already at the plane and passed it.

Sea isle city, NJ
Initially, we saw one sphere moving south to north along the coast line in Sea Isle, City, New Jersey. The sphere stopped close to where our location is, and was suspended. Moments later a second sphere followed in the same path as the initial sphere moved. First sphere made a 90 degree turn and quickly moved out toward the horizon . The second sphere also stopped in the same place as the first and made the identical 90 degree turn. They appeared red -glowing like a fireball. There was not trail. It was self-contained pulsing red light. There was no sound made from the objects. We reported to the US coastguard immediately. I confirmed with Cape May Coastguard that they were not currently flying in the area.

As I was taking my picture of Venus and the moon the object caught my eye and while I focused on it the object it simply disappeared. I was on the camp deck there were no windows or screens, and the night sky was clear. Though I could see it, the object did not appear to have any illumination. When I downloaded my camera to my computer, I noticed the object was in the frame. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

Saw a row of 3 bright lights and 1 larger lower brighter circle light. Due west over ocean. Stayed in fixed position for 1/2 hour, then we got cold. Saw 3 planes headed directly toward them. 1 seemed very close, enough to probably get a good look.

A couple weeks ago I saw a bright light in the sky, but didn’t think anything of it, a couple weeks later my daughter saw it and said mom, there’s a bright light outside, so we started taking pictures and recording it, and it didn’t move at all. I looked the next few nights for it but it was Over cast so on Monday 5/22/2023 I checked the sky and it was not there anymore. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

I filmed it in the sky. It seemed to flash the silver colour as if it was spinning and the sun was hitting it. I videotaped this object but it won’t let me send it. Send me a phone number and I’ll send it to you. I work on a boat that goes back and forth in the inner harbour of Vancouver. It was very high up in daylight. Hope this helps. Cheers

We walked out to take my dog out, and noticed a bright light up the hill that was just floating and bright. It began to flash and get closer and lower. As it got closer it turned into three lights but it was too small to be any type of plane. It was gas powered and it made me so unsettling.
