I was coming down Hwy. 35 when I saw a bright shiny object overhead. I watched it for about 10 seconds until it disappeared. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky. Then, it slowly disappeared almost like it dissolved into the sky.

Santa Paula, CA
Looking through my bedroom window, towards the North East, I saw a VERY bright light (brighter than any star I have ever seen) traveling South East, going very fast. It had a green light at the back. It flew lower than the jets on an often used flight path traveling between Santa Paula and Fillmore, California. It was shaped like a horizontal space shuttle. It kept disappearing and reappearing, rapidly. The sky was clear. It looked like it was one third the length of a jet.

United Airlines flight 301. White cylindrical object with rounded nose (like a tic tac..?), appeared as we started our descent to land. It had no discernible lights but very luminescent in the darkness, size bigger than our plane about twice. At first I thought it was a plane on fire or some kind of test for releasing water for fighting forest fires- but the haze kept growing. It moved across the sky with a swirling haze behind it (have pictures too) parallel to the ground towards the ocean. The event lasted for only a few minutes before it vanished above the water leaving the smoke/haze to disperse. Pilots couldn’t figure it out what it was, they called in but it was not like anything they seen before and we had a good laugh since it was such a surprise. Working as an engineer I assumed it was new technology, or a test- but it was an odd place. If it’s a new phenomena I would love to know what it was.

I was testing the long range abilities (focus, resolution) of my 300mm Nikon lens in my back yard and took a Photo of a passing commercial aircraft. Later when I reviewed the photo as I zoomed in to see how well I captured the moving aircraft I noticed a cylindric object with what appeared to be a white gas or smoke ejecting at 90 degree angle at one end. I checked the internet to see if there was other reports of such a sighting that day, and found there was a report in New Mexico from a commercial airline (American Airlines confirmed the radio transmission from Flight 2292 to Phoenix) that had seen a cylindric object next to there aircraft. I am attaching the photo I took, it is not altered, you will have to zoom in on the aircraft and the UFO will become obvious. I forgot about the photo until recently when I decided to find a resource that may have interest, so here you are.

Lafayette, CO
I was driving down US-287 in Lafayette near the Baseline intersection and something shiny caught my eye in the sky. I continued trying to look at it but was difficult since I was driving so I pulled over to get a better look and take the video. I saw a pill-shaped cylindrical craft that was silver and shining in the sun. The ends were dark, middle silver, and there was a small box or something hanging off but it's hard to point out what it is. It was moving much like a mylar balloon would, it was rotating in the sky, first doing a vertical flip and then precisely changing to a horizontal flip position and back and forth. I was almost positive it was a mylar balloon until I saw it's abrupt motion in between flips, something moves it, it does not follow the wind and is much to repetitive to be the wind picking something up, it's more methodical than that. I have never been so freaked out in my life. I called my family in tears just saying "this is not pos! sible". I called the aviation center and the FAA couldn't tell me much, I'm hoping you can. It was probably around 400-500ft in the sky when I spotted it and would go up and down roughly 1000-2000 ft or so. You can see a plane fly over in the beginning of the video and it does a good job of being able to tell how far out the craft was. It was much lower than a plane but much higher than a drone. The video does such a better job at explaining it. I really can't believe I caught the video I did, I sent it to the FAA like I said, and they said they had several people look at it and they were unable to determine what it was. Any help would be so appreciated. I feel like I just discovered something and no one cares!

I observed a vertical cylinder shape object hovering a few hundred feet above ground. It didn’t move for about a minute then it started moving horizontally then dropped altitude, hovered for another minute then began moving upwards. I took three pictures of it and decided to drive a few blocks to see if I can get a better look at it. After driving three blocks I lost sight of it and never saw it again.

BLAINE-OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS, WA
MY WIFE AND I WERE SITTING IN OUR LIVING ROOM BY THE FIRE. IT WAS SUNNY OUTSIDE BUT COLD. SHE WAS ON THE COMPUTER AND I WAS READING WHEN I NOTICED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A LARGE TRIANGULAR SILVER OBJECT OUTSIDE OUR HOUSE. WE HAVE A LARGE PICTURE WINDOW ON THE NORTH OF OUR HOME AND WE SIT ON A HILL. IT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION TWICE AND, AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS MY NEIGHBOR WORKING HIS FIELD WITH SOME SORT OF EQUIPMENT BUT, THE MORE I THOUGHT ABOUT IT, I REALIZED HE WOULD HAVE TO BE VERY CLOSE TO OUR HOUSE FOR ME TO SEE IT FROM WHERE I WAS SITTING. SO, I GOT UP AND WENT TO THE WINDOW. BY THE TIME I GOT THERE, THE "THING" WAS APPROXIMATELY 400 FEET OR MORE AWAY MOVING EAST TO WEST BEHIND SOME LARGE FIR TREES ON MY NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY. I CALLED MY WIFE TO THE WINDOW AND TOGETHER WE SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE A LARGE CYLINDRICAL OBJECT WITH WHAT APPEARED TO BE A PIPE ON THE UNDERSIDE CONNECTING TO A SMALLER SIMILAR OBJECT. MY WIFE COMMENTED THAT IT LOOKED LIKE A PLANE TOWING ANOTHER PLANE WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE SINCE IT WAS LOWER THAN THE TOPS OF THE TREES WHICH ARE ABOUT A 100 FEET TALL AND IT WAS MOVING ABOUT 20 TO 30 MILES PER HOUR. WE STOOD THERE FOR MAYBE 30-40 SECONDS AS WE WATCHED IT MOVE BEHIND MORE TREES AND THEN IT JUST VANISHED. WE HALF EXPECTED IT TO TAKE OFF OR RISE SINCE IT WAS MOVING TOO SLOWLY TO STAY IN THE AIR BUT IT DIDN'T. OVERALL, IT HAD THE APPEARANCE OF CRUMPLED ALUMINUM AND MAY HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING A CREEK THAT BISECTS OUR NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY AND CONTINUES ON INTO THE WOODS. IT WAS EXTREMELY LARGE AS AT ONE POINT ITS FRONT AND REAR WERE STRADDLING TWO FIR TREES THAT ARE AT LEAST 100 FEET APART AS IT CONTINUED TO MOVE EAST TO WEST.

Mustang, OK
Observed 2 groups of 3 to 6 objects traveling from South to North, east of my location at a relatively slow speed. First group appearing and disappearing while the second appears approx. 1 minute later. The objects seemed to “ burn out “ when disappearing. Not disappearing because of distance issue. Objects appeared as a bright orange cylindrical form with traces of light blue around the edges. No trailing tail. Seemed to have a “waving appearance”. Entire sighting lasting approx. 2 to 3 minutes.

Saw a cylinder shaped metallic object approximately 5000-8000 feet up in the sky. It hung in the air, not moving in any direction. The sun shimmered off the side giving it a metallic sheen. It had no wings or control surfaces on it. It also did not rise or fall. We watched it for about 5 minutes but had to leave.

Earth City, MO
12.14.2020 Time: approx..11:07am I was on my way to work driving on I-70 heading west toward the Earth City Exit. Keep in mind, this is not too far from Lambert Airport so seeing airplanes in the sky is an everyday all-day experience. However, this was no airplane at all. I had just merged from 270 on to 70w and with Earth City being the first exit on the right side of 70w after merging off 270, I was approaching with my exit in view. I looked up due to the glare from the sun, I thought it was another airplane that I would see almost every day, but this was different, as I approached Earth City, I was getting closer to the single object & it looked like it was just sitting mid-air. For a moment, I thought I was seeing things. The object seemed high in the sky like an airplane would however it was long and skinny almost stick like. It was white in color almost like the color of clouds. The closer I got, the more I realized this was not normal. It was not a plane or a “stick Shaped Cloud” It was shaped more ! like a cylinder. Right before my eyes, I watched it go from completely still, move backwards then forward & gone in less than three seconds. Everything happened so extremely fast! Though I was blocks from my job location, I had pull over at the fuel station to gather myself. I know what I saw, it was not an airplane nor a drone. It was not a glare, flare, or meteor. . the sun is out today the sky is blue not many clouds are in the sky. What I saw was something other worldly or some way advanced government secret. Either way, it has been two hours since this happened & I’m still shook by what I saw.

Driving on Old Coach Road towards Polly Drummond Road at 5pm when noticed a skinny object with a red and white light at either end flying above and to my right towards Zingo's. Assumed it was a plane banking very hard to the north although it was flying very low and made no sound. Happened for a few seconds and then lost it as came out of the woods onto a main road. This is a common drive for me at this time of night and I have never seen these lights before.

I did not notice this in the video until I was looking for some drone footage to upload to TikTok. The original video is too large to upload but there are no birds or anything in sight due to the time of the year. All of a sudden I see this flash of something and the more and more I watched it i'm like there is no way that is a bird. I'll let the experts tell me what it is but for now it's unknown. I added the sound to the vide to show when it appears. The first part is normal speed and the second part I slowed down to .25%. If you need me to cut more of the original video to fit a certain size to show more of the video before and after, I can do that.

I was traveling home by train after finishing work in Himeji when I noticed an object in the sky. At first I thought it was a really shiny airplane but then I noticed it had no wings or tail. It appeared to be moving at the same speed as the train, at least from my perspective. There was only one object that day but after speaking with a friend recently, she mentioned seeing similar objects around our area. Unfortunately I lost sight of it behind clouds but I managed to take a photograph of it.

Noticed a bright light at high altitude >10,000 ft. Observed for a few minutes and noticed objects depending at high rate if speed. As object reached lower altitude i was able to clearly identify a red cylinder shaped object moving from north to south. This was before sunset so I had clear visual siting. I was able to get good video. My son came outside to see what I was observing and also witnessed the object.

While driving west? on Highway 63 twards Speedwell TN, right in front of the Hy livesay Middle School,I happened to look up and notice a few white lights - which I thought were a plane of large size flying very low. It looked cylindrical and kinda disc shaped but it was early in the morning and still somewhat dark outside, so I figured as I drove closer to it, I would have noticed the wing shape and general appearance of a familiar aircraft like a jet. Approaching the craft closer, still while driving, the shape did not change and remained cylindrical and somewhat like a cigar with a bubble in the middle - kind of like a Tic Tac. It had three lights on the top that were white and none of them were flashing. It had a metallic hue to the surface and I almost wrecked my SUV staring at the craft as it hovered over the middle school and over the First Responders station. As there was no way photograph or video record it, to my current sadness, due to road construction on the highway I followed the craft as best I could in my rearview mirror watching it disappear over the horizon headed towards Virginia. I have only told my husband as I do not wish ridicule on myself, and you. I am still in awe.

From my 2nd story bedroom window, my wife sees a craft hovering from the window. She stares for 30 seconds saying "what the..." before I get curious. She then tells me a craft us hovering in our soccer field 100 yards further than the back yard. We start taking pictures of the 3 lights showing the shape. A blinker like a air craft blinking red is in the center (which throws me off). Then as I switch phone to different setting for better picture, we witness the craft hover straight down onto the street that hangs above the soccer field goal. I freak out and don't want to stop staring ad it seems to sit there like a car, until other cars finally pass and confirm it is there. See run out back on our deck to take more pictures but it appeared to "morphe" into a car. Or it simply evaporated or disappeared on landing and was never there after touching down. This is the 3rd or 4th time (second with pics and video) so I wanted to write about it a! fter seeing the number of sightings in my area this year.

I had my front door open because my house was really warm from having the oven on. I saw some super bright white lights flying in the airplane landing path towards DIA. I thought that it was a very odd airplane because the lights were so bright, so I decided to go outside to get a better look. As soon as I stepped out on the porch the object changed direction and started heading directly at me. There was NO sound at all. At that point, I could see two super bright white lights that were rectangular (sorta looked like house speakers from a stereo) on the nose of this object that strobed one at a time. I then noticed two red lights on the left and two green lights on the right. I thought that they were lights on the wings, as I continued to believe that I was seeing an airplane. As the object got directly over me (about 1500 -2000 ft above), I could clearly see that it had the body of an airplane, but it had no wings! NONE! Both the red and green lights were g! one at this point, but there was a detached barrel-shaped object (Light gray in color-the same as the main object) flying close to the right side of the main object. Then all the sudden, a helicopter (I don't know if it was a news heli or a police heli, but it wasn't a military heli) flying west to east comes out of nowhere. It looked like the heli was going to crash into the main object. The helicopter flew underneath the main object, but then the helicopter stopped, turned around as if it were going to chase the objects. But after turning around for just a few seconds and getting a look at it, the helicopter immediately turned back around and started flying east again. Almost to say, "hey, let's get out of here!" I tried to keep watching the object, but once it went over the neighborhood houses, it flew out of my view. I thought about grabbing my phone to record it, but I knew it would have been gone by the time I came back out to film it, so I elected to just k! eep watching it instead.

This description came from my mother and sister who actually saw it. According to them, they were out on their daily morning walk. When they saw this object that was zig-zagging across the morning sky at a very high rate of speed. They claim that it only took it a few seconds to do so. Then it turned and came back at a much slower rate of speed, where they could see it had just one white light and a red one. Then it went behind a small cloud and disappear, never reappearing. They stood there looking for it for another few minutes before finishing their walk.

While outside my niece said “what’s that?” And pointed up. When we looked up there was a straight row of small lights. We knew it wasn’t an ordinary air craft because none of the lights were blinking. The only way I can describe it is like a straight row of Christmas lights on a string. Some of the lights were white, some were blue, and some of them were green. You could kind of make out a shape behind the lights that looked like a blimp shape. There were no clouds in the sky so it was strange when the object looked like it disappeared into nothing. They are saying it is a satellite on Facebook but still want to report.
