Rio Rancho, NM
On June 23, 2020 around 10pm, this event took place in Rio Rancho, NM. I was the only one left in jacuzzi after a night with the kids and family celebrating my wife’s birthday party. I was star gazing in the northern sky in the direction of Santa fe, when I noticed some very dim yellowish lights in a triangle form. These lights did not blink or flash and were around 7 to 9 lights that seemed to just hover in the horizon, they lasted there for only 20 seconds before they just disappeared.

Rectangular shape with approx. 5 separate groups of 3 lights in a row flew overhead, no sound. Mirage like field surrounded the anomaly, wavering like a heat mirage on the road. We have seen this same craft {?} heading in the same direction last year almost to the day. Anomaly moves from SSE to NNW. Seems to travel between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.

Object was not higher than local planes. It was an orange ball that would frequently blinking orange lights. The lights appeared to be around the ball perimeter but in a rectangular shape. The blink would appear momentarily and then stop. It did this several times. The object made no sounds. It moves horizontally and very slowly. It vanished into thin air.

I was waiting on a train and looked up at the sky and saw a reflection once i realized it was not a plane or a mylar balloon then i started to record it with my phone it was rectangular very metallic on one side and was rotating 180 degrees back and forth the video is not the best but if you download it and zoom in you can definitely tell it is not a plane or drone not a helicopter i dont know what it was. I am a transit worker and am 59 years old

Oquawka, IL
Observed a single rectangular aircraft traveling from east to west maintaining a altitude of approximately 15,000 ft or less at roughly 200mph. Estimated size to be equivalent to that of a U.S. Navy super carrier with relative shape. Craft had no wings and made no sound. white light bar perpendicular to craft orientation at front and rear with red strobe at center. At one point craft was directly overhead and showed distinct silhouette against clear night sky at this point what appeared to be a satellite passed above craft moving southeast to northeast at extremely high rate of speed. Then passed infront of lit portion of moon showing very clear outline. Duration 3-5 minutes. Checked air traffic maps. No commercial or private aircraft in the area though assumed resource possibly unreliable in any case.

As I was driving I saw a rectangular object, horizontally falling from the sky. The object was bright green, and after about 10 seconds of watching it come down it then flashed and disappeared.

I was outside with my sister and her now husband. We were admiring the sky since it was really beautiful that night. I took pictures with my phone. The moon is each photo. When I looked at the photos later, I saw 6 green circular lights in a rectangle shape high in the sky but very clear that moved position throughout the photos though the phone was not moved much (look at moon for reference). I took 6 photos over a minute and within each one these lights move. In some, the lights are static; in others, it is moving rapidly as the lights are blurry.

Salem, OR
On a clear night on 05/27/20 at 19:30 I observed a jet flying a north/south direction probably from Portland Or. The sun was still shining and was reflecting on the silver jet. Later 5 minutes had passed and I watched the jet contrails. In the contrails or below I saw the object. It was rectangular in shape silver in color reflecting off the sun. The object was moving the same direction the jet had flown but was also turning in a circular clockwise direction. I observed this object for a full 3 minutes. It seemed to be floating and moving all at once. It then left my viewing area.

Le 08 mai 2020, vers 21h45, le témoin déclare avoir vu depuis son domicile deux sphères rouges très lumineuses pratiquement immobiles ou se déplaçant lentement. Le témoin a la présence d’esprit de se saisir de son caméscope et filme la scène. Sa batterie tombe immédiatement en panne et le film ne dure que 16 secondes. Les Lumières s'éteignent. Il poursuit donc l’observation à l’œil nu et constate la présence de deux masses gris foncé-noir prenant alors des trajectoires différentes. L’une passe pratiquement au-dessus de sa tête à une altitude qu’il juge entre 1 et 3 kilomètres, l’autre prenant une trajectoire courbe, descendante et semblant venir vers le témoin. Il décrit la première masse comme ayant la taille d’un avion commercial (type A320), sans aile et qui disparaît dans un nuage. Il n’a pas pu bien observer cette première masse. L’autre en revanche passe à une faible altitude. Elle a une forme allongée d’une longueur visuelle d’un gros avion commercial, mais il ne parvient pas à distinguer les contours. L’objet disparaît caché par les maisons et arbres du voisinage. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. L’hypothèse de lanternes thaïlandaises est envisagée fortement ici. Le témoin n’envisage pas un lâché de lanternes. Pourtant, l’observation est compatible avec celles-ci : - l’aspect d’abord : les PAN se présentent sous la forme de deux sphères extrêmement lumineuses, de couleur orangée comme le montre la vidéo jointe. - ensuite le témoin aperçoit deux masses sombres gris-noir possédant chacune une trajectoire propre. Ces trajectoires peuvent surprendre en première lecture du cas, mais elles entrent en parfaite cohérence avec les vents présents ce soir-là. En effet, entre 21h45 et 22h00 le vent tourne et change de trajectoire. Il est très faible, sous forme d’un souffle car la station météo la plus proche indique 0km/h.(Voir annexe : Vents). Le premier vent est de secteur 31° : il est donc orienté SSO, ce qui correspond au passage de la première masse gris-noir au-dessus du témoin. Le second est orienté au NNO, ce qui, là encore correspond au passage de la seconde masse gris-noir. - la trajectoire de la seconde masse gris-noir est descendante, donc vers le sol, c’est typique d’une lanterne qui est éteinte. - la couleur gris-noir, un soir, est cohérente avec des lanternes éteintes. - le brûleur fait chauffer l’air à l’intérieur de l’enveloppe et la lanterne s’élève, le vent est très faible et le déplacement est peu important ; Quand le bruleur s’éteint, l’air se refroidit, la lanterne descend, l’enveloppe peut se pencher jusqu’à l’horizontal avant de toucher le sol. C’est pour cette raison qu’il y a très peu d’incendies provoqués par des lanternes. - le témoin est remarquablement précis sur ce point aussi puisqu’il a vu l’extinction. Le témoin dessine un rectangle pour l’une des masses gris-noir, une lanterne éteinte se couchant en long donne exactement cette description. La seconde est décrite « carrée » avec des stries qui correspondent là encore à l’armature de la lanterne vu par-dessous. Il indique : « Initialement les sphères rouges étaient entre 1 et 3 km d’altitude. Puis une fois éteinte, l’une d’elle était pratiquement au-dessous de ma tête, toujours entre 1 et 3 km. L’autre était à une altitude de 300 à 500 mètres et à une distance difficile à estimer (quelques km)." (Voir annexe : Vents). L'estimation de taille de l'objet (un avion) par le témoin n'est pas compatible de cette hypothèse mais il faut rappeler que toutes les estimations de taille d'un objet inconnu dans un ciel de nuit sans repère sont quasiment impossible à faire. Cet argument seul ne permet donc pas de rejeter l'hypothèse. Le cas présentait une étrangeté forte à la lecture du témoignage mais elle est considérablement réduite par les explications ci-dessus. La consistance du dossier et du témoignage est bonne et l’apport de la vidéo, même courte ajoute une plus-value au témoignage, bien précis ici. On est en soirée d’un jour férié, ce qui est propice à des événements festifs de ce type. Le témoin est surpris par les changements d’un vent très faible qui donne deux trajectoires différentes de lanternes éteintes. Il indique d’ailleurs dans son témoignage qu’elles n’étaient pas si faciles à voir. L’étude du dossier conclut à une méprise avec des lanterne célestes. Le GEIPAN classe le cas en A : lanternes thaïlandaises. [GEIPAN classification A — Lanterne thai]

I know for a fact where and when to see aliens. I have a definite location on where the ship lands. It must be at an exact time and location that only I know. I need a group of individuals or team with recording equipment to document the encounter. What I have witnessed is a self contained environmental bright circle of light with no origin of source. With a self contained life form in it. I witness the ship land and the entity materialize. It did not seem to be effected by my presence. I do not want any one to take credit for my discovery.

It looked like a large drone. It was flying relatively lower than an airplane or helicopter. It had four red lights one at each corner. It flew by at a moderate pace.

I was sitting on my porch and seen an airplane that had 3 triangle in shape, much smaller than the airplane flying as if in a format along with the plane. I did get a picture but they went into some clouds and you cannot see them clearly. You can although see the 3 images around the plane.

There were two rectangle crafts one farther away than the other. Both moving at a slow pace and each craft had 4 semi see through lines floating around each rectangle. It almost looked like a blip on a screen. I think maybe there is a reasonable explaination? There were no lights and it looked like a shadow. Hard to explain.

Clear night, looking at the moon and stars, from the North came a line of line of lights 7 in front, 5 in the middle, and another 6 or 7 behind, they came from the North high in the sky, to the right of the moon, all in a straight line,heading to my left, I got the middle group on camera, they went in a straight line under the moon and as they continued to my left they disappeared into the atmosphere. What caught my attention is that they were all in a straight line and no sound was detected. Then just disappeared.

Week before last, I was driving through Northern Florida, to Pensacola, on I10. I see this weird metallic object just sitting in the sky. The more I watched it, I realized it didn't have wings. And it wasn't moving. At all. The thing was literally just sitting in the air. I was telling my mom, over the phone, this was the freakiest thing I've ever seen, and trying to explain how it looked when it suddenly started moving. It didn't accelerate fast like most ufo videos show, but instead just kind of putt-putted across the sky. I couldn't watch it the entire time because I was driving on the interstate. I took my eyes off of it for a couple seconds but when I looked back, it was gone. I can only describe this thing as looking completely metallic, with a sort of oblong body and honestly I'd most closely relate it to a train car. I know that sounds stupid but that's the closest similarity I can think of. The area I was driving from does see regular activity regarding military helicopter fly-overs - it's a pretty secluded small town. But this was not a helicopter, there were no propellers. No anything, it was just sitting there, perfectly still like it was painted onto the sky.

4.19.20 1:35 am I captured a recording on an iPad with "Presence"app (used as security and fun wildlife viewing on our mountaintop) - the ipad was perched horizontally in kitchen window behind wooden blinds. I happened to be watching live on my synced cell phone for fun that night (for wildlife) - I was sitting in the kitchen at the table by the iPad - and I saw something - The iPad DID NOT detect movement and auto-record as it had before with deer..I manually hit record and froze. This experience shook me and 4 months later I’m still often lost in thought. I’ve tried to recreate any single aspect and I can’t.

Rectangle formation of multiple bright greenish lights in rows of 3-4 flying fast towards north way over an airplanes altitude. Disappeared in about 5 seconds into thick dark rain clouds in a clear blue sky surrounding. Clouds moved faster than usual without any heavy wind we did not get to see the lights again as if they were using the clouds to cover them.

Star gazing the orion meteor shower late last night early AM. The stars were coming down pretty good.I saw three good ones, surprisingly one dissipated coming into the atmosphere directly at us which was rare/odd then looked south the opposite side of where the orion shower was from my porch, then out of no where a massive unbelievable white glow looked to be the size of a football field at least a thousand miles up or more. It was definitely beyond our atmosphere. It moved through space at an unknown light speed literally no more than three seconds to travel from southern hemisphere to northern while my jaw was floored. I smacked my friend in the shoulder told him look up! I pointed up as it vanished to the north. Asked my friend did you freaking see that last glimpse of the unknown? He said yes. I said now that was a freaking unidentified flying object followed by all the curse words in the book. I don't know what is crazier the real life star wars space ! ship or the fact that the musician on sound cloud that was playing on my phone when this event occurred, was describing seeing something he had never seen in his entire life that no one would believe and a indescribable feeling. Thank you for listening.

A triangular shaped craft, or at least a triangle in 5 lights appeared moving from west to east. the lights were white. I noted no flashing red that I would expect on a plane. at that moment it stopped in the sky over the lake I estimate a few miles up. I watched for 5 mins went in house to get my cell and it was gone but 2 orbs that flash blue and red were hovering over the range across from the lake. the lights maintained position for over an hour they even cast a reflection in the lake which I also photographed.

Cerrillos, NM
Approx 4-30 AM 3-19-2020 I was admiring the dark skies, the crescent moon the bright planets in the SE skies. I'm often there well before dawn. I then saw, through the juniper trees, a bright orange light between my house and my neighbor's which is 660' per google maps. It was stationary, rectangular and appeared to be about 8' off the ground and perhaps 3'X8" tall. At first I thought it might be a fire because of the bright orange, but it was not flickering at all or moving in any way. I walked around a patio table and got about 6' closer trying to get a better view but it wasn't better. I returned to the original spot and watched it for maybe another minute. I stepped and turned away to pick up the binoculars I leave outside so I could get a better view. As I was focusing them to that distance it went dark. I had been hesitating whether to call my neighbor or drive over but it was so early I didn't want to disturb them...especially after it went away. I talked to my neighbor this afternoon and he doesn't have any outdoor lights, and certainly not any that are orange, and he and the family were fast asleep at the time I saw it. I am almost always out there in the same spot with a cup of coffee. I've never seen a light like that in this whole area or anywhere. It seemed to be mounted on a pole because of the height I'm estimating but anything is possible.

At 7:10 pm (central time) I noticed a spinning rectangular object that seemed to be traveling at a high velocity. I was facing north while observing the object. It was black, rectangular and flashed a light (not pictured in video). The object appeared to be traveling north west.
