Sandy Spring, MD
I woke up to a vibration and humming sound, and I saw a light outside. It stayed there for about 20 minutes, and then the light and sounds stopped. I then heard what sounded like a plane flying away. The light was very bright, and the humming was quiet but clearly heard.

We sleep with our window open so I was laying in bed and saw a large star so I was starting at it for a while but then it started moving oddly. It started going in small circles that turned into larger circles. After a few seconds it started going back and forth proceeding flashing lights. Then it vanished.

Seen what looked like a star, but it was blinking different colors, and then completely off, then different colors, then off, and did so for about 3 minutes before just not coming back on after it stopped the last time.

First of all I wasn't going to report this, but figured it may be of value if anyone else may have seen it. I was looking up at the sky around 8pm (20:00) in an open area with little light pollution. Due to this the sky was clear and the stars were very visible. I noticed the object moving across the sky from east to west at a very high speed. It was a small white bright light. I initially thought it was a shooting star until the object made a sharp 90 degree turn and began heading south. It continued on this track for a short period of time before it did a full somewhat drawn out circle and then continued off west until it disappeared/I lost sight. There was a near by plane for scale that was much larger than the object and moving at a much much slower speed. The object was smaller than the stars around it and appeared to be a little smaller then the plane in the distance, but was much higher in the sky than the plane. It was too far away to make out a shap! e, but looked like a bright glowing sphere. Once again this object was moving very fast and was very erratic. Wanted to submit this incase anyone else may have seen it. Not sure what I saw, but it was certainly a very strange/interesting experience.

Two nights in a row-On the night Oct 23 2019 my husband and I saw a star like object move around in the sky in a small area of the sky. I also watched it the night of Oct 22. It's movements were like a slow moth, some movements a straight line but mostly erratic. It stayed in the same little area of sky. In observing this for some time, I realized there was a dimmer smaller star by it and I have concluded that this bigger brighter star was connected to the smaller star, making it look like it would be a long pencil like shape, I am calling the Bigger star the head and the smaller dimmer star the end. They move together and the head will move in different directions as the end stays in place. The head also looks like it extends it's neck to move around like an insect would feeding on something or building something due staying in the same sky area spot it had been in. They look like stars. I saw another single star move across the sky and disappear by the fi! rst entity. This was looking above my backyard to the South in NE Ohio. There were no blinking lights. Aircraft in the area flew past as if things were normal. In my opinion this ufo looked like it was alive by the movement of the head star. Two stars connected, one bigger and brighter and one smaller and dimmer in a pencil shape, no seen connectors but as it moved I could see the two stars move together as if they were one, a body, with a extending head(bigger brighter star) moving around like a slow moth or insect gathering food. I am going to watch again tonight and I will make further reports if necessary. Round white star like.Retirees

The light was white with flashing green and red lights. It hovered in one area going up and down then left to right. I have never believed in aliens but this has got me thinking.

3 Amber Orange colored lights to the Northwest turned on in sequence then turned off. About 1 minute later it did the same but a bit more to the left (west) of the horizon.

one orange light and one white light approached each other and flew in a clockwise pattern around each other several times then the orange light flew north towards Missouri and the white light flew south towards Oklahoma. Neither made a sound and there were no other lights on either object.

Salem, OR
Looked to be one craft that was bluish white and leaving a light trail as it moved back and forth erratically then up and down. Didn’t seem to have a pattern to its movements but kept in the general same area and bobbed all over. Lasted quite a while and was still there when I went to the bedroom. Got up an hour later and it was gone.

Bloomfield hills, MI
I was sitting on my couch watching tv. My couch is next to a window that faces north. I saw a light moving faster than anything I’ve ever seen. The light would jolt across the nights sky and then vanish. This occurred at least 6 or seven times. The first few times I only saw it in the corner of my eye, until I decided to turn off the tv and just watch. Was able to witness it 2-3 more times. Large size light balls, white/yellow in color. About 3 times the size/brightness of any other star in the sky. Moving faster than anything I’ve ever seen. From what I recall, all the lights were headed from east to west

Because we are so close to the airport And in a big city I already knew the changes were slim. We are quite used to all of the airplane traffic that is constantly buzzing over our skies - and can very easily identify planes and helicopters etc. Around 1:06AM I went to the backyard to have a seat and check around for some shooting stars - while gazing at the east direction near Orion’s Belt and clear where incoming planes come to land I saw a bright elongated vertical shaped light. I immediately thought it was wierd bc it was not moving and atill changing form. I watched it for a few minutes before it’s shaped turned more circular -and moving lights. Rapidly moving lights. The object in the sky did not move and was flashing all kinds of lights - purple blue green red white - I decided it was bizarre enough (now with no planes landing AT ALL -usually one lands ever few minutes) To run inside and grab the binoculars. I have a pretty decent pair and what I was able to see was a small circular shape with crazy lights flashing furiously. I took a few videos as well. Upon gazing at the sky some more -it appeared there were 6 other mysterious crafts around the eastern skies - these ones were not flashing colors and not nearly as low as the other craft.

Watertown, CT
A total of 3 bright white lights, about as bright as the brightest stars in the evening night. One white light moved from the south horizon to the north horizon, then paused. A stationary light in that area then traveled from the north to the south, then turned to the southwest horizon. This passed by another stationary light in the southwest horizon, which then traveled to the east horizon. All white light, previously stationary, no color or blinking lights. Not planes or helicopters, at least one appeared to change directions.

Was outside looking up at the night sky to catch some of the Orionid meteors. A faint light caught my eye, which resembled a satellite or the ISS going over except for the it's motion and intermediate visibility. Another person watching the sky with me confirmed what I saw. The object moved in one general direction, but in 2-3 second bursts (fading quickly to nothing) and kind of turned in a short arc to the left, before fading, then turning in a short arc to the right, then fading. It kept a consistent rhythm with this motion, but upon reappearing was back in the straight path of travel before turning once again off course. My initial thought was that an airplane may be going overhead and we were seeing a left wing indicator, followed by the right wing indicator, but the obvious arc motion the object made upon each burst of light really couldn't have been possible if it was only the tip of an airplane wing. I've also never seen an airplane travel in that path before. The object was in view for 45 - 60 seconds as it crossed the sky. Appeared to be a white/bright blue colored light.

A large bright blue light feel out of the sky. It was deffiantly to low to be a UFO, but there was something different about this that did not look man made.

Mountains Edge, NV
Caught on my RING camera. A light flew by slowly and then the lights blinked a couple times before it disappeared. 10-15 min later i could hear military helicopters flying nearby. It was enough noise for me to get out of bed and take a look. They flew over towards the mountain and out of sight but i could still hear them for around 10min.

While starting a shift at 6am at a water front facility a equipment operator was starting machine and noticed up to 9 bright lights in close formation and not moving , he says it stood out as really strange and he observed them for a few minuates before taking a picture on his phone, he mentioned it to myself and showed picture. He and I are concerned due to recent sighting off the coast of North Carolina of similar light formation.

A bright streak of light fell from the sky near the woods in Randolph. I am scared because it happened so quick, it was a really bright streak of light fell straight out of the sky straight down. It started as a small bright light and as it fell formed a streak like a straight line of bright light that fell to the ground

I know this report is months after the fact. I did not realize at the time that there was a reporting site. On October 14th 2019 me my daughter and a guest watched and filmed a short video of something we could not explain. My daughter and guest noticed the object first and then got my attention to see it as well. We observed a bright object in a South Westerly direction from our location in my back yard. The night was clear and calm. We observed the objects behavior for a few minutes before I recorded it with my phone. The object would blink and then would move away for a few seconds then return. The object would move up and down then appear to hover. Eventually the objects disappeared from view. The object would move fast then slow. In the video I captured it was bright then dim then moved away then back. When it dimmed out again, I stopped filming. After a few seconds it reappeared then seem to move straight down. Below the roof line of my neig! hbor's home. I’m a bit of a skeptic. I was in US Army and National Guard aviation. This I can’t explain. I’ve been on and witnessed many aircraft and none of them moved like that. The video is 2:01 long recorded on October 14th 2019 at 20:22 hrs. My daughter is into astronomy and was amazed. The Guest is a manager at a local facility and I’m Retired from service as well as a State certified Security Officer. I didn’t report this right away because I wanted to try and debunk what I saw. I cannot.
