We were outside partying and I pointed out the strange lights in the sky. there were 4 lights in a row, and one was off center. They moved in a weird snake-like way, up and down and in a southwestern direction. I pointed them out, and 2 other people at the party saw what I pointed at, while other didn't despite looking where I was pointing. One person moved to follow the movement as it passed over my house, I did not. I felt, more than saw, but it felt like there was something invisible spinning around those lights. I know that is strange, but I very much got the impression that the 4 lights were one side of the craft and the off center light was where the craft arched, or bent, and the light was passing through an invisible disc. The people who saw it agreed it was strange, and thought the movement was very odd. Suggestions of Space X and Starlink don't make much sense when compared to what I saw, but I suppose it isn't out of the question. It was low in the sky, in relation to the building across the street from me, we weren't looking directly up, it was on the horizon. One of the people that saw it suggested it might have been a drone, but I didn't hear any noise from it, but we were at a party with music and about 10 people.

It looked like a search light from a helicopter. It was bright white. It was near the highway, maybe 150-200 feet in the air. I thought it was a helicopter at first but it did nor have any navigation lights. It also was not moving at anytime we saw it. It was not pointed in a general direction, there was no structures underneath it. I have no idea what it was.

Round bright light heads over nj coast. Light was projected pointing down and perpendicular to the movement of the object but wider and “rounder” than a spotlight. Very slow moving with a wide wake behind it that spread out quickly.

I finished playing fetch with my dog on the field at the very back of the park. By this time no one else was there. I put my dog in the back and heard animals in the woods going crazy. This made me nervous since I was there alone. I glanced back at the field and the sky and saw nothing. I was looking for animals and at the bats flying around making noise. I opened the front passenger door to fill my dogs water bowl. I closed his door in case something came out of the woods even though I hadn’t buckled him in yet. While drinking water I looked up and saw it. Incredibly bright lights that could easily light up the woods even with being so far away. The lights shifted twice, but always stayed behind pointing backward of the direction the craft moved. At times if slowed down almost to a stop. Then it would continue moving forward. I grabbed my phone and started recording. As line of sight appeared to become covered by trees, I hopped in the car. I could still see it while traveling to the front parking lot of the park. I pulled over while leaning forward and staring up. It was still there. I got out and grabbed my phone again. When I looked up as soon as hopping up it was gone. It was about 15 seconds from the back lot to the front. 2 other friends now say they saw it. One from DC and one from California.

I was sitting outside on my porch and a light caught my eye. I looked up and grabbed my phone to start videoing. As you can see this object appears to have a spot light or something emitting light, it moves upward leaving a Smokey trail before disappearing into the night. It is completely silent. It is not a plane, it is not a drone, it is not a helicopter. What is it?

A red blob in the night sky that did not move as I watched for a couple of minutes, I left and in a short time went to another window and this time saw it was coming closer, seemed quite low, and I could hear a low rumble of sound that got louder. It was large, turned from coming my way to my right (north), and it looked nothing like an airplane or anything I had seen before. It did not move fast but when turned sideways to me it was blinking alternately all over red and green lights. The lights seemed to be all over the aircraft so it was obviously huge.

I noticed two large round extremely bright white lights to my left just above the tree line. Very low, silent. I didn’t see a craft but it seemed the lights either had perfect formation or were attached to a single object. It either was stationary or moving exceptionally slow because it seemed to stay the same size and brightness for several minutes. In time it slowly moved in a straight trajectory north. It took more minutes before it was no longer visible. Unfortunately I didn’t have a phone on me. My family is full of pilots and lots of airplanes, this was nothing familiar.

Venice, FL
In Venice, FL I observed unidentified flying object(s) tonight 9/21/22 roughly 8:52pm Eastern time heading in the direction that I would estimate to be SSW. Object(s) were observed from the ground and appeared to be one to three objects in flight and relatively low altitude traveling at jet speed but completely silent. Three lights was visable, none were flashing. There was some naturally occurring haze in the sky.

When I scrolled through my pictures to determine which ones to keep, I noticed that what I initially thought was a speck on my phone’s screen was a defined object falling from the sky. I have no clue what it is, but it looks more like a human than anything else I can think of. Everyone I have showed this to has recommended I send this in to get a professional opinion.

My wife and I were sitting on our porch and I observed a bright white/orange light in the sky seemingly pretty far away. It caught my eye because it wasn’t there at one point. The light would get very bright, like Venus, and then dim to nothing. There was no timing I could get out of it and sometimes it would do it 2-3 times a minute or disappear for 5-10 mins then reappear. I was outside the night before (9/19) and noticed the light in the same patch of sky but didn’t observe it so I chocked it up to being a star. I grabbed my binoculars to try and get a better look but couldn’t see much more. When it got bright there looked like a haze around it. Possibly a cigar/tictac shape but not sure.

Noticed a satellite I was slipping into bed when I noticed what I first thought was a planet, then I thought was a satellite, then it stopped moving and I thought it was just a planet again and I was seeing things. It was a shimmering white like a planet but maybe more pure white than a normal planet, it seemed to dim slightly at some points. It appeared to move then stop which made me look closer. After a while it move back horizontally and moved around a bit, at one point it did a side ways U shape in the air. Moved vertically then would appear motionless for minutes. It appeared to wiggle around at some points like a red bot laser on a wall, very subtle motion. Once it moved somewhat violently after being motionless almost spiraling around then moving horizontally to the north. At some points when it appeared motionless I thought I was seeing things, but once I moved my self so It was just out of view of the window and it moved into my view through the window again. Finally it began dimming and nearly disappeared becoming more bluish. It moved around a little while dimmed and blueish then began to brighten a little. It dimmed again and I think it brightened and bit once more then disappeared completely. First dimmed to maybe 5% then brightening to 50%, dimming back to 5% and going back up to maybe 35%, then 5% then maybe 25% then fade to black. I watched it for 20 minutes to half an hour. It moved like it had no inertia or momentum. It certainly did not move like any aircraft I know. It was north west of me at maybe 300° as I look through the window in the back most room in my house on 9107 New York 5&20 in West Bloomfield, New York. The time was approximately 1:00am to 1:30am, September 20th, 2022. It was overcast. I woke my girlfriend up to show her and she said she saw three lights. She also said maybe they are stars. She was very tired and not happy to be awoke and was not interested. She is still asleep and I have not asked her about it yet. The motion was subtle but noticeable if you were watching it. It didn’t seem like it was moving around far enough or fast enough for someone driving a car or doing something other than looking up at the sky in a north west direction to notice. I am certain it was not an airplane or helicopter. I do not think it was a drone. I know it was not a satellite, planet, Star, comet, or any astronomical object like that.

Friend noticed it before I did. It was still very brief, but very strange looking. It looked like a big space blanket. It didn't look like a bird, and it looked too large, although the way it fell reminded me of how a bird of prey nose dives when it hunts. It dove behind the background objects from our view. We aren't sure where it came from, just that it fell out of the sky. Date is precise. Time is +/- an hour or so.

Neenach (Northern, Los Angeles County), CA
time and date were approximate to +- a few years, i could hear signifigant sound although not sustained, what i saw was from a clear vantage point across the line of sight and traveling from, west tp east. Aircraft speeding at a singular altituide near base of what i will call Tehachapie from Gorman in the west and towards the 14 Freeway going eastward. im guessing i watched the craft travelmore than 20 miles of horizontal distance my vantage point was at least 25 miles south from the described event and close to the 138 freway in the area known as Neenach. the most remarkable thing is that it was as if at some point the aircraft went into an opening within the lower portion off this mountain,,, a disporportionatley abrupt disaperance of the aircraft at what apeared to be a secret door opening and than closing near relative middle or lower elevation along the hill/mountain range {i presume it is in Kern County} it was posibly tandem low flying jetcraft,,,, but they disssapeared suddenlly at high speed in broad daylingt. memory wants to tell me that i saw the mountainside swallow the fast moving jet craft. Logicaly these were of a military jetcraft in nature and capability.

Okay, I was in my car, and out of the corner of my eye I saw a light, I thought it was a shooting star because it disappeared, at the same time I was getting out of my car, and then all of a sudden it reappeared! There was only one, it was a blueish light, I couldn’t tell the shape (it was too far away to the west to actually see the shape) but the way it moved through the sky with incredible speed and the way it was able to then stop on a dime and then disappear again I knew that it HAD to be a UFO. I’ve always believed, and this is the third time I’ve witnessed but the first time I’ve said to myself “I wonder if I can report this?!” So here I am! What a sight to see! When I saw the light come back on/ when they turned the light on, it was like it was just floating in place for a solid 2-3 seconds, then they just “floored it” going SUPER high speed down the changed direction horizontally and then back up and then the lights went out again and it was either gone or they turned the lights off.

I was on my Jon boat fishing the moon that day was the closest to the Earth. It had been in almost 70 years I was videotaping it coming up over the horizon, wind to crafts, flying in formation crossed in front of the moon. They were massive cannot explain what I saw.

There were 3 objects in the shape of a triangle and generally stayed still and then the 2 on the bottom of the triangle would move outwards and inwards in a perfectly straight line. The one on top was almost completely still but would sometimes move a little bit up or down but only in a straight vertical motion like it was driving forwards and reversing. There was one outside of the triangle that circled around it a couple times and would go around the sky. I couldn't get a picture of it because it suddenly vanished like it turned invisible. None of these objects move liked planes they didn't circle around to reverse or move forward. They were these hazy white lights that would blink but not completely just dim. The haze around the object didn't dim when the light would dim it stayed the same. They were too far out to tell the shape. The first thing I did when I saw them was pull up nearest airplanes but there weren't any in the northwest direction it was in. They left no trails in the sky when they moved. The man on the hotline told me to download an astronomy app but the 3 objects were inbetween the 2 constellations it pulled up and it didn't register anything in the space it was in. I have no idea what I saw and I don't believe in UFO's. When I pointed my compass at it it said 341 N but it was a couple points more west like 1 or 2. My location was 40*3'50" N 79*53'37" W 880 ft elevation. I do not want anyone to know I'm affilated with this because I don't believe in this stuff and don't want to look like a crazy conspiracy theorist and have it affect getting a job. I want to pretend like I didn't see it.
