At about 2am I witnessed three unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in a formation heading in the direction of Lackland air-force base. About a minute later, another object with same features flew in the opposite direction. The three UFOs were low enough that I could see them making minor adjustments in their position between each other, indicating that they were independent from each other and not connected. They had a circular shape and emitted white lights, but lights were dim, each object had same light intensity, shape and size. Objects were not very noticeable if not flying directly above. They flew right above me and quickly blended in with the night sky as they moved away. They did not make any sudden or erratic maneuvers but rather flew in a linear direction. They were fast, but there was no sound associated with them. I remember clearly at that time there was no wind, or clouds. they looked too large and too quiet to be drones. They also flew in a restricted airspace, which would require permission to operate drones. This happened around 1:50-2 am, when there was very little traffic or people around, and at that time I don’t remember any cars or people in the area. The UFOs were too swift for me to capture them on my phone camera. It’s not the only time I witnessed ufo but this is the most recent one. Also my friend in a different location in the US saw an object accelerate from approximately 20mph to thousands of mph within instance, but location and time I need to confirm with my friend.

Witness reported that this incident had occurred in his side yard and it had lasted approximately 30 seconds. The incident was also witnessed by a friend whose name was removed from the report. It had happened on a beautiful spring day with a clear blue sunny sky without any wind or anything else unusual. He and his wife, Lisa, were chatting in their driveway when he suddenly noticed some sort of unknown black object just appear about 50 ft overhead. The object appeared out of thin air in total silence. It did not seem to have any sort of propulsion. The object or "enigma" was a 12 foot ring or circle, black in color. He was unable to identify what it was. It had a gigantic 12 foot wide spiral "corkscrew" device that was slowly rotating under the ring or circle. He immediately alerted Lisa of what he was watching and she also witnessed the same strange enigma. They both just stared in awe as the weird object descended downward. As it was about to touch down, the object just vanished into thin air. It just disappeared. In less than a second. What ever this enigma was, is a total mystery. It did not leave any clues as to what it may have been, or where it may have come from or if it had any purpose. He could not even attempt an educated guess as to what he and Lisa had witnessed. It was truly an "out of this world experience......beyond bizarre." Possible smoke ring. See https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1AmaMBOINJw

Bright light spinning and hovering over red tower light was so bright it reflected off water. And it was a good distance from the river. It left, made a circle back to the same exact spot and the same thing, same pattern. Two videos from same area, different side of the river during the day.

North Andover, MA
Right near where Venus is in the sky, about 10 times the size of Venus in terms of visibility. Very bright white light, mostly circular, with a slight tail/point on one side. Appeared about 40 feet above tree line, moved in a diagonal/downward motion, and then disappeared again. There was one object, full visibility lasted for about 5 seconds. Moved quickly but not fast enough to be some sort of shooting star/meteor.

Was working in the forest (surveyor) when partner & I saw a silver orb about a kilometer away, just above the tree tops (mature loblolly pines, maybe 80-90’ tall). It flew in a rectangular pattern over a swampy area in the forest.

Sitting in bed and noticed a very bright glowing orb very high in the sky. It has sparks occasionally flying off randomly at any side; one minute there would be several sparks the next few minutes there would be only a few. It moved in all different directions - up, down, left, and right - and often hovered in one stationary place. Over the 45 minutes that I watched it, it moved slowly in the west direction until it was out of view. Got a small video of it but couldn’t see any of the sparks with my camera quality.

Object appeared to be white in color and could be seen with the naked eye at very high altitude (relative to nearby aircraft). Once the object passed near high clouds it was obscured and could no longer be seen. Approximate time in sight: 10 minutes

Lakemore, OH
I went outside at approximately 10:50 pm to smoke a cigarette and just look into the sky as I normally do every night. I like to watch for satellite passings and look at constellations. The moon was out and it was pretty bright. All of a sudden I noticed a very bright white cloud moving from right to left in the sky. I’d say the object was at least a thousand to two thousand feet high. It was slowly floating like a normal cloud would but it was emitting a very bright blinking light. As I focused in more on the anomaly I could definitely make out a entirely separate circle shaped object inside or behind the cloud that was not part of the cloud. It almost looked like one of the surveillance balloons that were recently shot down by our military except it was emitting a bright blinking light. I immediately grabbed my phone from my jacket pocket and was able to capture the anomaly in a 2 minute and 39 second video that clearly shows what I’m describing. It’s hard to gauge the size of the object but if I were to try I would have to say that it was at least as big as a public transit bus. I’m sorry I do not want to take anything away from the full video that I have by clipping it. I did download five pictures of the anomaly, however the video file is too large in it’s entirety.

Probable conventionalNew York-Boulder, CO
I was traveling from New York to Boulder Colorado the night of April 2nd. The plane got up in the sky and I looked out the window and saw this object but I thought maybe it’s just a reflection of light and didn’t think much of it. I went to sleep and woke up an hour and half later and it was still there but moved to a better place where I could see it. I spend an hour watching it trying to figure out what it was. It was not a plane, not a star or the moon, and then it started to change color to be a red/orange. Near the end of my flight I looked down and then up again and it was gone I couldn’t locate it again. I took images and videos. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

Saw a reflection in a mirror. Looked out the window and saw a silver sphere/ball gliding in the sky. At first I thought it was a plane due to altitude but it was moving slow enough for me to get a really good look. Definately a ball shaped sphere, completely silver gliding across sky. Then I thought it might be a balloon but again, altitude was way to high. No clouds in the sky and little to no wind. It is a very sunny clear day today. Wow!! [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

… First thought was a comet… No tail. Then spotted white blink before it fell behind a tree. Next thought possible plane crashing, coming in way to fast and sharp angle nowhere near airport.

I was walking my dogs late and was on the top of a hill in my neighborhood when all of a sudden a bright,huge, and round object dropped down very fast. I was very startled and my instant thought was something is crashing. There was no noise at all. It went out of my view within seconds because of the wooded area in my subdivision. I’ve seen drones before and this was definitely no drone and no fallen star. The best way I can describe it would be like a full moon very close to earth falling straight down.

Merrimack, NH
As I was taking out the trash at work, I vividly noticed a strange circular object with flashing green lights going off all around the object. It clearly wasn't something normal in the sky and I had very heavy breathing after seeing this thing for a bit, including feeling extremely on edge after the encounter. Seemed as if it was just floating in the sky for around 2 minutes or so. I wasn't able to get a photo or video of the object due to the immense shock of this incident.

These 2 objects were flying around following each-other. They were what looked to be bigger than a van. They were flying super fast back and forth over the tree line in front of my home and then they flew super fast, stopped instantly, and shot off into space at a crazy fast speed and then the other one did the exact same thing except from a different direction, but it stopped instantly in the same exact spot and shot off into space.

This morning I was outside looking up and saw the exact same balls of light in space that I saw on 3/15. This time they were not as bright so maybe smaller ships going in direct directions, looked like east and west but they started out near each other. This is not shooting stars but I do believe it’s in space and not in our atmosphere.

This object has been in the sky in approximately the same area for over 30 minutes. Numerous family members have witnessed it bouncing if you will like a ping-pong ball back-and-forth left to right. We’ve seen planes flying above it with its beacon lights flashing. We have seen oh, it just disappeared. It just moved. We have seen it through binoculars. It looks like a parasail with lots of bright lights.. . The lights have appears to rotate. Can it be a drone ? At night ??

Roseburg, OR
At about 5:20 am, sky was still dark and cloudy. I looked out of my large picture window from a dark room to see a very bright, large light in the rural sky above the foothills, which were less than two miles away. Normally there are no lights of any kind in that area of the view or horizon. First thought was large planet or airplane. Eliminated possibility of planet as it was cloudy and seemed below cloud level. And could not see any other stars or planets or moon. I stared at it extensively to detect any movement. But it did not move. So not an airplane. Just kept staring at it. Then after about 2-4 minutes, it vanished from the spot. Like a light switch turning off, it vanished. No one was with me nor in the room. It was not a reflection in the window glass. Background: I’m 52 years old, educated and never experienced anything like this before. But I have a deep interest in physics. I was wide awake at the time of sighting.

I saw an extremely bright circular object floating in the sky with a spotlight that disappeared into the cloud. I waited for several minutes and it never reappeared or exited the cloud, as I got closer it was gone. I caught the entire incident on my dashcam. I've never seen anything so bright in the sky that was just hovering with a spotlight and then slowly disappeared. First video the object appears at 2:15. Second video is me waiting for it to reappear and then eventually calling a friend and reporting exactly what I saw First video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kqgsf320perhqp2/ufo-harrisburg.MP4?dl=0 Second video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jdklg7ftsdo14tv/ufo-harrisburg-2.MP4?dl=0

A thick circular strange black cloud formed from the center out. Orbs and other came out of the cloud. I could feel an energy and saw lights in the cloud. I have seen orbs and other strange cloaking since. I have many pictures and videos.
