I went out on my back deck that faces north at approximately 8:30pm. Looking off to the West on my left I could see one bright light,which isn't impressive as my wife and I live 5-10 minutes away from an airport. There were no landing lights, no strobes. Just a solid bright white light moving slow. A 2nd light appeared from nothing below it. It was dimmer, slightly yellow. As the 2nd started to rise up, the first light moved to the left, allowing it space. A 3rd light appeared off to the lower right of the 2nd,and started to rise as well. The 2nd and 3rd light grew in brightness to match the first light. They all 3 started to rise higher to about 45 degrees, instantly fading to smaller pin spots that moved off left,and right, at different speeds and disappearing. I could see this with my eyes. I ran inside to get my binoculars,and to get my wife to see them. As we're coming back outside, 4 lights of equal brightness are all moving in different directions at different speeds in the same area I viewed them individually through my binoculars. As they moved left and right, they would get dimmer the faster they went,but still visible. Briefly, a 5th light appeared acting with the same mannerisms as the other 4. At this point I did notice more aircraft in that part of the sky, approximately 4,but I couldn't tell you if they were commercial or military,but their lights definitely blinked like standard lights on a plane. They all disappeared momentarily again, with 3 reappearing with the same brighter white, and one dimmer yellow/amber one moving back and forth at a faster speed. By 9pm, only 2 were visible but dim, and moving slowly, and they gradually disappeared. When my wife and I came out with the binoculars,she witnessed their movement as well. Like I said,we live pretty close to an airport,and see all kinds of lights attached to planes. These didn't move like planes,or give any signs of typical aviation notifications. I'd give anything for the Akron/Canton airport to look at their radar records for that time span today.

I was watching the sky for aircraft as I often do. I was a TSO for the TSA, and I like to count the number of aircraft I can see at any given Time. I observed a silver oval shaped craft moving quickly from the SE of my position going NE. I am very familiar with the size and shape of most commercial and military Aircraft. This was not any of them. It was moving after dusk with no running lights or strobes. It was at an altitude of approximately 1000 feet. As I watched it for several minutes it simply disappeared. The light didn't fad, it was gone. The object looked to be larger than a commercial aircraft. I judged it to be about a mile or so away and appeared to be the size of a golf ball.

I was walking my kids to the school bus stop for houses down we saw it descending it had red yellow and green lights flashing. This is not the first time I’ve seen it it’s usually higher up in the sky this time it came down close. It’s always out at 6:20 AM. We ran back to the house and it disappeared.

Was in the midst of playing guitar and drumming and was exiting the bathroom when I went to go shut the window and blinds. The angle I was at gave me clear view of the 7/11 across the train tracks adjacent to my building. I saw a cigar shaped saucer with four lights on the underbelly of the craft, and a blue haze was being emitted from the underbelly. I was freaking out, yelling at my neighbor's to look out the window, and it stayed out until others went to observe, but it was still visible as it descended behind the building next to 7/11. It eventually disappeared and no one saw it fly away, but as we awaited it's departure, a second craft came in from the southwest and flew rather erratically and didn't fly like how I traditionally propelled aircraft would. The crafts also exhibited both horizontal and VTOL flight capabilities, with them seeming propelled by the propulsion source on the underside of the craft that emits a blue glow akin to the same glow emitted by uranium fuel rods when submerged in a cooling pool in a nuclear power plant, or like the glow of the tesseract in the Avengers film. A blue glow emanated from both craft's undersides.

I can't believe I'm filling this out. I was driving home and saw three lights as I was going up a hill toward the end of the hill at a junction from Nelson Rd to West Rd. I was surprised and thought the lights were a new radio tower or something. It was too close to be the only other lights which are further at a ski place about 6 miles down. I take this road three times a week so it was foreign and new. As I got to the crest of the hill overlooking the field where I expected a tower, there was none, and the objects were just floating. I turned my car southwest on cranston rd instead of going northeast as I usually do to get home to get a better view. At this point I could only see two of them. I was in awe, and had a clear view within my car of one of these things slowly moving east, and the other hovering straight above it, but that one didn’t move, only the bottom one. I was dangerously hanging out around the road and pulled over as another car was behind me and I got out of the car to get a closer look and see if I could hear a helicoptor sound or something as we get a lot of helicopters here. It was completely silent. I was hoping the car behind me would stop to talk about this but he kept going northeast but he was also driving slowly and erratic so I know he saw it. Within a few seconds they both did a small swirl which looked directly away from me and disappeared. I got home, and kind of shaken up by it, I called the NYS State Police in New Lebanon NY at 518-793-8445 to see if they got any reports of weird lights. They didn’t, but he thought it could be a starlink satellite formation. I felt very ackward and told the officer that I felt like a nut calling but I saw something, I have seen starlink satellite lights before and they are much smaller and much more distance than this. The time of the police call was 8:53PM EST and lasted about 1 minute. The total event from driving to me getting out of the car, to them disappearing was less than one minute, maybe around one minute exactly. I did think of getting my phone and taking a video but it just happened too fast and I was kind of stunned by it and didn’t grab one. But I am ordering a dash cam today because of this. What I really just want to know, more than anything, is did anyone else see these? I just want my sighting validating as being seen by someone else is my feeling more than anything. They were insanely bright orange, almost like a campfire, but circular. I am 50 years old, an engineer, a dad, high educated, no alcohol or drugs, well grounded and not a conspiracy nut, and I can't explain what I saw. The way it hovered, moved was not natural, it was clearly vehicular by nature and moved too fast for me to understand what it could be. It was too close to be a satellite, which I see often as I have clear country skies. Is there anyway I can be notified if someone else saw this ? The curiousity is killing me about this. I havent told anyone else other than the police because I didn’t want to sound like a whack job, but its been on my mind all morning. I do not want my name disclosed

First sighting was near Ephrata, PA. It looked like a vertical string of several white lights. It seemed to hover or move slowly. I kept trying to see how it was moving. It appeared it was moving East. I lost sight of it for awhile. I was driving North by Northeast. I exited the major road onto a state road. I saw the shape again in the Western sky. It was moving slowly or hovering. I kept trying to catch a glimpse of it through trees and around houses. When I came to an especially clear vantage, I was able to see there were 5 of the lines of light in a virtually straight east by southeast line. At one point I had three in sight. All had been white lights hanging in a vertical line. When I looked up I caught only one still in my line of sight, and then one with a vertical line of red lights instead moving slightly faster than a jet. I think at least one of its red lights was blinking, but I am not remembering clearly now. The white light objects appeared to blink or shimmer. I am sorry I cannot give a better explanation. I want to say they were at a height of 1 to 3 miles. Probably closer to the lower end. I thought I might be seeing hot air balloons, but it was dark, and hot air balloons could not move at the speed of which the one with red lights moved. The red lights moving stayed in the straight vertical line formation. When I had a safe place to stop there was just one I could see through the trees. I took only one picture but it was not visible in the poor quality duplication. I could see tree branches and perhaps a star nowhere near where the object was. At no time could I see the object to which the lights belonged on any of the lighted lines. Not even the vaguest of shapes to guide me to a credible description of the shape. I said cross shaped because it looked like the upper portion of the lights might have contained projections on either side that seemed at times to also have lights. I could see at least three lights on every one, but it seemed there could have been more. I could not tell, just like I could not give credible sizing. When I saw the extended line of the different "crafts," it looked like they may have had three miles or so in between each of the five I could see. That is about all I can remember. Sorry for the length of this. As the observer, I am a 54 year old white male with masters level degrees used to teach in a grade 7-12 building. I have never made a report of this kind before. I still kind of believe they could have been balloons, but cannot explain the movement of the red lights. I am just not sure what I saw.

I was watching the stars as I do most early mornings and I saw a really bright ball of light and it zipped by super quick not across the whole sky maybe like a fourth of the sky and then disappeared into the sky. It was only one I’m still very shocked but I saw online it says to report so here I am.

Cumberland, VA
11/13/23 around 11:40pm, walking dog on farm hilltop, looking south east, a “meteorite” falls directly perpendicular, straight down from above, then makes 90* turn to the east, traveling horizontally ,just above the horizon. The trajectory was the shape of a backwards capital “ L”. The speed stayed consistent, did not change before or after the 90 degree turn. Like a pinball ricochets off of a wall. This thing moved very very fast in both directions. I was observing a twinkling star in the SE, and the object fell from directly above this particular star, traveling straight down, right into my direct view, making its turn below the star, zipping off to the east above the tree line, horizontally. Very very fast. So fast that by the time it turned and moved east, my eyes were still looking towards the twinkling star, and it moved east, out of my peripheral vision. I then asked Google if meteorites made right angle turns. I was surprised to see that they don’t in fact make those type of drastic turns. About an hour ago, 24 hours after this event, I just saw a news report of a “meteor’ seen last night in Minnesota traveling horizontally across the sky. The object moving across the sky in Minnesota was at a very similar distance above the horizon as the object I observed. It also had a similar speed. The news report didn’t mention which direction that object was moving. And the Minnesota event happens 4 hours prior to the one I saw here in central Virginia. There was no mention of the object falling first then making a right angle turn. But it was strikingly similar to what I observed in the way that it moved horizontally and fast. After seeing that news out of MN, I thought it would be a good idea to submit these details now, in the event that there were other similar events last night, or similar details yet to be reported from MN or VA. Based on what I saw, I would not be surprised if others saw the object in MN first fall towards earth and making a turn before streaking horizontally. The fact remains that 2 different strange and similar events occurred, 4 hours apart, and the one here in VA entered the atmosphere first traveling downward, then turning to the east. I didn’t hear a sonic boom. Im not sure if I would have been close enough to hear it had there been one. The news report from MN also mentioned that NASA doesn’t think it was a meteor in MN, which begs the question, what was it in MN? And what was it that I saw 4 hours later?

Ione, WA
I was standing near a south facing window in my house in Northern Pend Oreille County WA. On 13 November around 11pm I saw three very bright Lights that looked like very bright “out of focus” stars in a horizontal line each was about 6 degrees spacing along the ecliptic in the direction of SWW. I thought for a moment that I should take a photo but realized the lights would not make a good photo. They did not seem to be moving. I debated on waking my husband up and instead went to bed. I told my husband about this the next morning and he mentioned that after looking on stelerium that Orion’s belt was in that area but it was not in a horizontal line. Jupiter was visible farther to the west. On the 14th and 15th I noticed military aircraft circling the area south of our house.

At 10:20pm MT, I was the Captain operating SWA FLT 4900 MSP-DEN, we could see a light move up in the sky at a rapid speed and go from dim to a very bright light. At one time, we could see 4 lights come and go sometimes moving in a counterclockwise position.

As the lights got closer the aircraft came into view it was large the lights were so bright I had to squint to see the aircraft it was large and very close to the ground as if it was landing. It was not spinning it was hovering the circle of lights was stationary under the aircraft. It did not fly away I was afraid to stop on the dark road.

I was driving in my car and looked up with a traveling/moving light caught my eye that was moving really fast. I looked up as I saw it traveling extremely fast in a Western direction. It was glowing blue in the dark sky. Just like that it looked like it just suddenly vanished.

Milan, IN
I was at work on a break when I saw something out of the corner of my eye. I looked in that direction but only got a split second to see it because it flew behind a tree line. I knew then it was something unusual. I assumed it was a farmer's plane and kept looking to see it come out from the other end of the tree line. Instead, the object came out at a 90-degree angle. When I got my closest look at it, it was about 50 yards away from me. This is what I saw: it was flat, maybe 20 feet in width, possibly smaller, and about 10 feet in height, maybe shorter. It started to rotate in an unnatural way, and when it did, I saw that it was in the shape of a triangle, but in the middle of the triangle, there was another triangle inside that was see-through. The color of it, the best I could describe, is black as black marble and shinier than marble. It looked like all the material was one piece, like no rivets, no seams, just like the craft was made by one piece of whatever material it was. The sun reflected off of it. It made no noise, there were no propellers, no propulsion; it was just floating and rotating perfectly with no disturbance, almost gracefully perfect in its rotation. Then it continued to do that as it slowly flew away until I could not see it anymore, rotating gracefully the whole time. There were two other employees with me; they only witnessed the end part of it but could still see it rotating because I called them out to come look at this. I wanted to take a picture of it but I didn't want to take my eyes off of it and miss something. It started off to the right of me then took of slowly into the air directly in front of me then flew away

My mother and I woke up at 6:30 AM and stepped outside. I looked up at the sky to get an idea of the weather. It was perfectly clear and the sun was just barely risen. To the north travelling westward I noticed a small point of light moving too slowly to be a plane and also either too high or too small. I pointed it out to my mother and she noted that also there was no sound. I checked air traffic maps, satellite trackers, and even the position of the International Space Station. None were nearby at the time of sighting.

It lasted a few seconds and very quickly exited at what seemed like crazy speed out of my vision to the left. A vertical green rectangular shape. I thought a reflection of something and dismissed. 2 days later I heard 2 of our employees discussing “did you see that green thing monday morning”. Which stopped me dead in my tracks.

Bright large object with colored lights (blue white red) spotted on sky, lights shining with bright beams. At first , it was hovering in one spot and then started to rapidly move with erratic movements. Lights went off and object reappear on opposition location, very rapidly. The sound was very loud like a big jetplane.

While looking west at approximately 8:00 pm I noticed a light coming fast from the south to the north several miles away and fairly low. As it crossed my position in front of me I could make out a shape with two points of light at each end. It continued north and then made a turn to the east and appeared to circle to the south as I lost sight of it. The shape was moving faster relative to the planes in the sky as I am situated on a flight path to midway airport and o’hare. I have seen military jets up close and didn’t hear the tell tale afterburners.

My husband and I were driving our family home from dinner at our parents. My husband exclaimed, “look at that!” I looked to where he was pointing and saw a red trail of light zoom off and disappear. It was a very clear night—you could see all the stars. It did not move like an airplane— it did a circular “swoop” before it disappeared. If it was a plane we would have seen it continue to travel off into the distance. My husband said when he initially saw it it was a green lit up object (half circle shape) that very quickly dropped straight down, and then jolted up (to make a “J” shape, before it zoomed off. When I saw it zoom off, it was red—-when he saw it, it was green. I have never seen anything like it. This was my husands second UFO sighting— he saw another years ago and it was similar.

Prior Lake, MN
There was like 11 individual stars from when i noticed it. Looked like a bunch of stars but they were in a straight line in groups of 3s. It was a long line spaced apart, i would imagine several miles in distance from the first to the last one. They were bright like stars but appeared low as if they were floating in the sky. It was much higher then a tall voltage line but lower then an airplane. An aircraft flew in between 2 of the points and you could tell the airplane was higher in elevation. After the plane went by then the objects started disappearing 1 by 1. Then I saw a black image shoot straight up between where the lights were, like a shooting star with no lights but going up. Then when they all disappeared, a moment later there was a white flash in the spot where the line was.

I initially thought this was a guy using a jet pack wearing an all white wing suit. The shape was like the Christ the Redeemer Statue. I observed it from the 405 freeway between the 90 and the 10. It appeared to be over Culver City, Cheviot Hills or maybe South Beverly Hills from my perspective. It was hovering and then moved slowly straight upwards. Someone else posted a sighting of this same object but a couple of hours earlier than me.
