De Beque, CO

I don't remember much, there was an odd amount of time I don't remember between seeing it and waking up the next morning.

Edenton, NC

I saw two cigar shaped objects with no wings, lights, sound or contrails. They moved from West to East in a very slow in a side by side formation. They were about 10-12k ft altitude.

Observed by passenger in our car who noticed a bright vertical cigar shaped light and tail in the sky. Seemed as if the tail was getting longer, we pulled over and observed this for about 20 minutes.

Colorado Springs, CO

I was headed home from work, on the phone with my mother, and I noticed a large black cigar shaped object in the sky, it had a very subtle curve to it, not a completely straight cylinder almost like a very long parachute or such item but without anything hanging from it. I kept eyes on it's general location all the way to my apartment parking lot, I continued to observe it from the parking lot for a few minutes. I think the full amount of time I had eyes on it was 15-20 min because that's about how long it takes for me to drive home from work. The object was in roughly the same area throughout my observation, although it may have been moving it is hard to tell as the bulk of my visual on it was while I was in a moving vehicle.

Elk, CA

After spotting the anomaly in 8 pix I blew up the photos, revealing groups of lights. Thought maybe a 2 stage missile, but the arrangement of the light spots did not look like any missile motor nozzle arrangement. And there were no contrails. The anomaly just showed up and disappeared over 2 minutes. So examining the close up of the anomaly, there are a few frames that the light arrangement looks different. The anomaly showed up in the photo, went up vertically , maybe 15-20 miles offshore, then back down, then up again and a couple of zig zags and disappeared. I have seen Vandenburg's launches, and this was different. Backlit, I would have seen a ship or sub launch, and this would have been a Large Rocket, so sub, ship or platform was not possible. No aircraft in the sky, and I dont know of any aircraft dropping 2 stage missiles. It was a UFO. I did not notice it live, but 2 days later scanning through photos. (Our sunsets are very pretty, so when it is clear I am shooting.). After blowing up the anomaly it does not look man made. The pictures were taken with a Samsung S7+ tablet, on an open hillside on our property. Not through a window. This was not a flare or reflection. The video is me shuttling through the 8 pictures, back and forth. I have never witnessed a UFO previously, I have seen rockets and high altitude balloons, this was neither. Pix taken 39.185203552246094, -123.75308227539062 I have a video sequence of the pictures there are 8..

Tampa, FL

On a crystal clear blue day after Christmas, I was driving with windows and sunroof down or open. While driving south on S Dale Mabry Highway, I approached the major east west intersection of Gandy Boulevard, slowing to a stop just passed the overpass of the Crosstown Expressway. While stopped with radio off, I noticed an object in my periphery. I looked up to see an extremely bright cigar shaped object. My initial thought was that it was a Soviet MiG from the Korean Conflict era. It had a red marking near the front. Although it made no sound, I didn’t think much of it for the half second I saw this object flying roughly 3,000 to 5,000 feet above head. Not the most unusual thing to see a jet flying considering we have a major military base, an international airport, a neighboring St Petersburg Airport, and several small airports, like Peter Knight, in the area. It moved over the my sunroof view and I refocused on the stop light. I picked it up again as it flew forward towards the South, towards the Military base, Macdill Air Force Base. I watched as this once very very bright object was now a darker circular shape, almost as if I was looking at the tail end of a tube or cigar. Saw zero vapor trail. No engine illumination of any kind. It flew an arced flight pattern from left to right, “checking out”. As it faded from my field of view, a series of intense bright flashes, akin to sparklers, appeared behind the object as it was some 20 miles away. After sparkling for a 1/4 second to 1/2 second, a massive portal opened up. It was the most incredible sight I’ve ever seen. A rectangular(ish) shaped window or portal. It must have been 100-200 times the size of the craft. The “portal” displayed a greenish, pinkish nebulae of sorts, like slow waves, like ripples. The portal closed a 1/4 to 1/2 second later. The sky seemed completely unaffected. Like nothing ever happened. Here and gone in roughly seconds. I was completely jaw dropped. I could sense that cars around me were moving forward and I noticed that a black pickup truck with tinted windows, directly in front of me, was also parked on his brakes, seemingly as shocked. We both eventually drove away with traffic. I had never witnessed a UFO until 12/26/2021. The entire observation lasted roughly seven seconds. I can’t explain what I’ve seen but I’m not embarrassed or ashamed to report this. I will swear on a Bible, under oath, that these were the facts as I observed them on 12/26/2021 at 10:24 a.m. Regards, Marcello Bessone

Was videoing the bright light. I knew it was a plane. I looked at the video the next day and saw the other object.

Foxboro, MA

On December 15th, 2021 I took my dog outside in my back yard at about 1:25 AM. I noticed a glowing cigar shape due 14° North at about an 80° elevation from where I was standing. Only about two or three stars could be seen that morning due to the cloud coverage. The sky was black and not even the moon was visible. To be sure I wasn't looking at part of the moon peering through a geometric cloud formation, I used the StarTracker app on my phone to locate the moon which was fairly low on the horizon—maybe 20° and 295° North West—nowhere near the location of the cigar shaped object I was observing/recording. It was completely stationary. It was white and glowing with what seemed to be a brighter glowing dot at it's center. Other smaller dots seem to fade in and out at the either end of the cigar shape while the brighter center remained illuminated. Atmospheric interference seemed to cause all of the dots (including the brighter center dot) to shimmer a bit or fade in and out while the brighter center was always visible. There was no sound and it seemed quite distant from my location. I recorded the object for 1 minute and 41 seconds and then went back inside. It never moved during the entire time I recored the object and was in the same spot when I went inside. I haven't seen it since.

Minot, ME

Craft entered atmosphere with red/orange glow very high from the outer atmosphere. Once entered, craft showed to be very bright white, flying in a straight direction with no contrail. Craft flew for approximately one minute then a visual contrail followed craft until it was out of sight. No sound at all was generated from this craft or for the duration of its flight while in view.
