Punta Gorda, FL
White, tic tac shape object very very high in the sky. Moving fairly fast. I watched from my patio as it flew right above my head. I watched it in disbelief because I could tell this wasn’t an airplane. We live near an airport so a drone couldn’t be flown that high. I could tell the size comparison as we have large buzzard birds flying high above and you could tell the object was higher than the birds. No audible sound. I watched it fly for a few minutes and noticed it would catch the sun just right every once in awhile and looked like tin foil gleaming in the sun. Then it would shift again and be pale white in color again. All of a sudden it vanished. I told my 17 yr old daughter as she came outside and she said “ya right” and when I looked up a new one came from behind me-same shape, speed, height. But it came from a different angle this time. We both watched it until it flew into the same spot in the sky the last one did and it vanished as well. I did go ! get my husband and he came out to investigate and debunk our UFO situation. He was left dumbfounded when several more came over the next few minutes. Again, all from different areas in the sky, but they all went to the same place in the sky before disappearing. Every hour or so I’ve looked up and I’ve waited and sure enough, as I was swimming I looked up and saw a commercial airliner. I watched it for a few minutes when all of a sudden-one of those white things came hauling tail at this plane. I mean FAST. It looked like it was gonna hit it T-Bone style, but it missed. I thought I was going to faint in the pool. My daughter took several videos and posted them online. We figured we better report this because so far it’s been a long day of sky watching. Which also peaks my curiosity of what we can see tonight in the dark.

I was outside with my wife looking at a rainbow. I took a number of pictures in a row. When I looked at the pictures later that day, I noticed a black spec inside the rainbow. When I enlarged the photo, I clearly saw a cylinder shaped object. My photo clearly shows this when enlarged. I think that if it was a UFO, they were as curious about the rainbow as we all are. How do I email my photo to you?

Went outside for a smoke. Noticed an orange light lower on the horizon to the south . At first, I could not see movement. As I watched for the next couple of minutes, I could see it rising higher as it was coming straight towards me. It's partly cloudy tonight, so I could see it disappear behind a cloud then come out. It stayed one steady speed and soon it was directly overhead. It was long, narrow, almost like a rocket (tube) on it's side and had no flashing lights. The whole object was lit with an orange glow. Once it passed overhead, it went behind a cloud, appeared and disappeared a couple times in the breaks in the clouds, then disappeared for good behind clouds. I checked where the space station was located which was nowhere near my location, but it was larger than that. It was not an airplane. I heard no noise either.

Looking up at an overcast sky, the ufo came into view below the cloud cover from the west and steadily made it's way east without a sound. Everything just felt off. It wasn't flapping, it wasn't a plane (I could clearly see it) it was a pill-shaped thing of no specific colour just clipping west to east traversing the entire sky in about 30 seconds.

I was talking outside with someone and noticed a object with a shadow underneath moving east before turning quickly northeast. It originated from the west and I only noticed it when it came from behind a tall building. It almost moved like a submarine moving through water. It seemed like a capsule or a plane without wings or a rutter. I noticed no sound. Other people were congregating outside at the time but most had there backs turned. I was the only one to actually notice. I told my friend but he was not too serious about it. No clouds were in the area at the time although the area is known for heavy air traffic.

Looking at stars and a meteor type of object travelled extremely quickly across sky travelling directly North and stopped for a second or so over my house at approximately 40-80k feet. After the object stopped, it drifted and appeared as a satellite, a second later the object quickly changed direction and moved at a 45 degree angle. As it moved, a bright white light like a old flash camera hit me directly in that the light did not illuminate my surroundings. The craft then stopped and the white light flash happened again. The craft was motionless for a few seconds just before speeding off into a white particle tunnel like plume.As it sped off into the portal, the craft travelled at faster than light as the craft was several inches ahead of the light trail emitted when it hit its warp drive. Also was dramatic take off from the stopped craft position in that it travelled straight up, stopped moved directly sideways, the straight into the portal. The whole sighting took only 10 seconds, however I checked my watch immediately before the encounter and it said 11:45pm. When I looked at my watch immediately after the incident, was 11:48pm. The sighting was too fast for me to record photos or video.

I was working outside at my new house. (I live up on the top of a hill with no obstacles hindering my view for at least 50 miles.) I noticed an odd shaped aircraft just gliding right overhead. At first I thought it was a blimp but I am familiar with blimps and this wasn't shaped or really looked like one. This was more flat and straight like a pipe. It resembled as if it were made out of stainless steel. I didn't see any lights or markings. There were no wings and no propeller noise. I watched it for a few seconds and realized that it wasn't making any sound. I took out my phone to get a couple of pictures. I wasn't really thinking about taking video or more pictures. I kind of just wanted to watch it with my eyes. I jokingly posted the pictures on Facebook and thought no more of it. Now, almost a year later, I have yet to see anything quite like it. I have become accustomed to all sort of air traffic around here. I have a lifetime of experience being around aircraft. My step-dad was in the Airforce and we would attend many "open houses" while growing up. I also spent time in the Marines. I have worked at O'hare and Midway Airport. I really believe that I know what a conventional aircraft looks like. This one has me scratching my head though.

Couer d'alene (south of), ID
Last Saturday while returning home from Couer d'alene my wife had put the window down to get some pictures of the sunset, after returning home we looked at the photos and found an anomaly, it appeared to be a bright white or silver cylinder with no corresponding contrail and out of place with surrounding clouds. Definitely unidentified.

Watching for airplanes and birds with my Canon 10X42 Image Stabilizing Binoculars when suddenly thought I was looking at a Dragonfly hovering. It stayed in place for a few seconds then started to it's left and DISAPPEARED! After it was gone realized I couldn't see anything that small focused 2 to 3 miles away. Trying to remember after it was gone that the thing was more cylindrical and nothing like wings on it. There did appear to be a disturbance around it that when first seen could have mistaken for whirring wings. In the field of view where a hawk would measure 1/8 to 1/4 inch this object facing me was much larger and maybe silver and some detail. Might have been in the 1/2 inch range.

I was in my backyard looking up at the sky, and I saw what appeared to be a white, pencil-shaped object traveling fast, very high up.

It looked like a plane flipping upside down at first. It would glide, then flip over with sporadic bright flashes of LED looking lights (the sun was still shining) that took up half of one side. I saw it flip over again, but this time it was end over end. I couldn't tell what was the top or the bottom. It was in the east sky heading north.

May 17, 2021 12:07 am EDT Shortly after midnight, I was leaving my parent’s house to walk home. A pretty crescent moon was reflecting in the lake, so I went down to the beach to look at it. While there, I looked to the Northwest area of the sky, where I was puzzled by a straight row of lights in the sky. Upon closer inspection, there seemed to be cylindrical shaped craft hovering in the sky there, about 30 degrees above the horizon line. There was no sound, and no exterior lights visible on the craft. The light appeared to be coming from windows which were placed in a single, straight row along the entire side of the craft, and appeared to show the light from INSIDE the craft. The light from the windows was steady, white light, not flickering or pulsing in any way. The spacing of the apparent windows were as follows, from the rear of the craft (most clear), to the front of the craft (somewhat hazy): 2 windows, then a space with no light, then 3 windows, then a space with no light, then four windows, then a space with no light, then perhaps 2 more windows? (this part was less clear than the rest of it was). After about one minute of viewing said craft, I was debating about whether to try to run inside and get another witness to come out and see it, but then the craft started moving, very slowly, toward the east. There was still no sound from the craft, just birds and frogs and other lake sounds as usual. I decided to watch where it would go, instead. It was visibly moving slowly east for another 2.4 minutes, until it faded from my view. The fading started at the front, where it was less clear to begin with, and then slowly tapered to the back, until it was no longer visible. I can not be sure if I would call it disapparating, or whether it simply changed its angle in comparison to me, or if it just got too hazy there? The approximate distance it traveled in my view was from a location visually “above” the constellation of Cassiopeia to a location visually “below” the constellation Lyra. The craft appeared quite large to me, and closer than the stars – perhaps twice as far as a regular plane would be? I took three photos of the craft with my cellphone. They do not show a lot. The first two are quite blurry, I used less zoom on the third one, and it is somewhat clearer. I also took a photo of the crescent moon reflecting in the water before the craft appeared, and a photo of the brightest lit area on shore, a local Inn, afterwards, to indicate that it was not some weird reflection upward of it’s lights into the sky.

Longview, WA
What was seen at first was a single constant light moving towards the north sky from a southern position without sound and next to it a bright light came on next to it asmif it were another craft of some sort, and then a few seconds later the light went out, and the object continued north until out of sight. Then a few minutes later a long craft was seen moving from our west to northeast. This craft looked like a string of pearls in a row. The craft was very long and looked big as if it were in the upper atmosphere. It moved at the pace of a satellite in orbit until it was out of sight in the same direction as the other object. I took video of the object although the video is not very clear unfortunately. I will still be happy to share it.

my daughter and i saw what appeared to be what i can only describe as a sparkler in the sky. the object changed direction and headed east and as it came in to view the craft appeared to be three section that where linked like semi trailers would be. the sections glowed green that my wife described as "like a glow stick" the three sections had what appeared to be dark black struts holding the frame of the craft together. the craft also had a metallic, and for lack of a better term, "cab" that seemed to be pulling the object. the object seemed to be in no hurry and we watched the object until it disappeared from view behind a stand of trees.

On a camping trip, and after my wife went to bed I was standing at the campfire looking up at all of the stars. I saw a long patch of white behind the tree tops and thought it was a comet but it did not streak out from the trees. Then it slowly started moving into the open sky. It stood out as the brightest thing in the sky. Like neon light tubing. The tube inside the fuzzy light looked like a jet airline body. No wings or tail, and as long as a plane .There were black archtop spots across the lower half. Close together with white between them. the object was a dull white on the upper half , and around the dark spots. This is NO joke . I could clearly see it !!! It came over the campground area and moved off to the east . no noise,just coasting along.They were not hiding it at all. WITH MY OWN EYES. It is true. It moved off over the Okanogon Reservation glowing bright. IF anyone else saw it please speak out.Conconully to OMAK area WOW!

Highbridge, NJ
Hello. On Saturday May 15 at approximately 9:30 PM local time an object was observed moving West to East at several thousand feet. The object was brilliant orange with points of white and mostly cylinder in shape. It was traveling in a straight line and I didn’t hear any sound though the person I was visiting who I called outside to see it said she heard a motor. The object passed just to our north and then turned to a southeast heading. I contacted the Highbridge police department and no unusual sightings were reported. The local airport in Pittstown also stated there were no illuminated aircraft in the area Duration was only five minutes. The brilliant orange light remained as it disappeared below the distant tree line.

Not to sure I should be doing this. People gonna think I’m crazy but I have to tell someone. I was out fishing in my kayak and I seen something that caught my eyes. It was above me for a few seconds then it went towards the north. Almost as fast as a blink. What I saw was something strange. It looked like a galvanized tin garbage can. It appeared to only be the size of a small car but it was fast as hell when it shot straight up out of view. Almost like it knew I was watching. Unfortunately there was no lights, sounds, or any little green men but it kinda freaked me out. This isn’t spam, or a joke. The metal on the aircraft was bright like stainless steel. I know it sounds silly saying I witnessed a flying garbage can,,, but I did.

Soon after...poof it was dimming and was gone. Shortly after, we saw several smaller objects one was doing this zig zag maneuver and the others were just flying through the area. My wife who has been a long time skeptic, could not believe what she was seeing. Must say...she is now a believer. Vic G

I saw it coming out of a cloud and had to fly a funny way in my direction, it was a kind of elongated pipe which was flying at an angle of say 30 degrees of inclination made a magnetic noise in a few pulses made a bizarre of drift descended from altitude and do a few spins and disappears the cloud has cut cleanly no drag effect cut with a knife
