My wife and I and two others saw a cluster of 4 lights traveling east to west. We observed them for about a minute when they vanished. Within a minute we saw 6 more lights 4 in a cluster and two off to the side. They also were traveling east to west and after a minute they vanished.

I saw a flickering very bright red and white light in the sky. It looked much bigger than a star. I watched it for about 10 minutes, it was perfectly still and did not move. Suddenly it was gone, like someone switched the light off. It did not look like an air craft. It went away too fast. I stood there for another few minutes to see if it came back, but it didn't. It was a very clear night.

Object cross the sky at a rate of at least 10 times the speed of a satellite starting from 218’ southwest to 179’ degrees south and smoothly decended in a arch down and swooped back up across its original path and disappeared

Stirling, STIRLING · United Kingdom
While camping myself and two friends watched a blue/white point of light which would appear intermittently and fly extremely quickly for a a second or so and then vanish again leaving a trail as it went, turning in seemingly random directions with extreme speed and dipping above and below the clouds. When the object went above the clouds the light it emitted was still visible but dulled. The encounters came every 30 to 60 seconds and lasted for over an hour. Our phones were not able to pick the object up on camera. The image included is one of my attempts to capture the object but it is not visible.

Bright light fades in-out in south-east sky for about two seconds. It pulses back for two seconds every 20-30 seconds 6 times, changing position dramatically over the last two pulses.

Something caught my attention in the sky and I looked up and it was very cloudy so the “vessels” were above the clouds. I saw about four flashes of light that must’ve been moving over 1000 miles an hour. No blinking lights, just one fast-moving yellowish green light.

Newmarket (Canada), ON · Canada
It was just before 330 and I stepped out on my balcony sat down and sparked a joint. I was staring up in the sky when three lights appeared. The light seemed to glow and fade repeatedly. I didn’t wanna move fearing that I would lose sight of these lights, so I called for my wife and together we witnessed it glowing and fading away. This went on for about 5 minutes until lights disappeared in thin air .

This light flashed red and white (possible other colors) Moved slightly at times. An airplane is in my video that crossed the sky as well. I came in after about 15 minutes. Not sure how long it was out there. I did video for about 5 minutes

Leavenworth, KS
After seeing 4 ufo's a couple weeks ago, my fiance and I have been more diligent about looking at the sky. After he came home from work, I went outside to greet him. He looked at the sky toward the direction of the Missouri River and saw a bright "star". He joked and asked me if it was a ufo. We laughed, but as we were watching the "star", it got brighter and brighter. After a minute, it quickly dimmed and started moving to the east. After about 10 seconds, it shot upwards so quickly, it almost looked like it simply vanished. About 5 minutes after, our dog was let outside. She turned to the direction we saw the craft and bristled and growled at the sky.

On my porch outside, cloudy night NE sky, a light illuminating through clouds like a full moon does when clouds move across its magnificent light, but it's not the moon. The moon is a quarter moon, and is in SW sky. The light was noticed at approx. 9 pm lasted until 9:25. It was stationary the entire time. Then the light disappeared. Went off like a switch. While it was lit it was an intense light about the size of a full moon. The light was never moving at all!

Light almost like a plane flying quickly above the clouds from left to right higher and higher until it could not be seen any longer.

Saw one individual light moving similar to that of a dog chasing its tail and doing figure 8s, then 2 lights moving at a slow pace with the right one moving the same way. All were at the same time.

Madison/Painesville line, OH
We were driving towards home on Dayton Rd. In Madison. Off to the West, appeared to be close to the Madison/Painesville line, I saw two lights, at first glance, thought they were stars but then noticed they just looked a bit different and too large. Within seconds the lights slowly moved towards each other, then merged into one and then faded out completely. Did not see them again. The light was not bright like that of a plane, it was more ambient. Hard to describe, but definitely was odd. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Le lundi 02 septembre 2019 aux environs de 05h40, un témoin sur sa terrasse orientée au sud constate un point lumineux scintillant situé au Sud-Est dans le ciel dégagé. Vu aux jumelles, le témoin décrit un disque avec 3 scintillements distincts sous forme de points blanc et de couleurs. Le point s'élève progressivement dans le ciel et disparaît totalement à 06h07. Intrigué le témoin scrute de nouveau le ciel à 05h du matin les mardi et mercredi toujours en direction du Sud-Est, mais ne voit rien. Le jeudi à 05h29 il voit de nouveau le phénomène. Il réveille alors son épouse qui constatera la présence du PAN. Des photographies et vidéos sont prises. Progressivement le point s'élève dans le ciel et disparaît totalement à 07h15. Un seul témoignage est recueilli sur ce phénomène. Les conditions astronomiques sur Stellarium confirment que le 02/09/2019 et les jours suivants, SIRIUS est normalement visible au SUD-EST du lieu d’observation avec cependant une élévation très basse montante vers 10° entre 5h et 6h (voir carte Stellarium jointe). La première et la dernière observation ont eut lieu à 5h30 (voir photos du témoin en zoom sur le point lumineux, à gauche du lampadaire et au-dessus du toit des maisons) : le témoin pensait voir VENUS mais en fait il s'agit de SIRIUS. Les observations du 03 et 04 septembre ont été faites plus tôt à 05 heures et Stellarium confirme que SIRIUS était plus basse à cette heure là. Les photos du témoin montrent un masque juste en-dessous du point observé, constitué par les maisons (voir le plan de jour). Ce masque et l'heure d'observation 05 heure (1/2heure plus tôt que la veille) permettent d'expliquer que le témoin ne pouvait pas voir SIRIUS les 3 et 4 septembre car il était trop tôt et donc l'étoile n'était pas encore assez haut dans le ciel pour être visible du témoin à cause des maisons. Les vidéos transmises montrent des points lumineux en zoom, mais l’intérêt est qu'elles confirment aussi la position du PAN à gauche du lampadaire et confirment la proximité du masque constitué par les maisons. L’étrangeté signalée par le témoin concernant les formes vues aux jumelles, à savoir un "disque avec 3 scintillements distincts sous forme de points blanc, orangé et verdâtre/bleuâtre" et que "Les jumelles m'ont permis de constater que le disque semblait changer d'orientation..." est sûrement due à des effets liés aux jumelles du point lumineux grossi en zoom ou au problème de vue signalé par le témoin lui-même par mail :"Je dois aussi vous dire que je suis astigmate et cet astigmatisme (non corrigé par le port de lunettes le matin quand je déjeune) me joue parfois des tours dans la perception des formes de certains objets". L'étrangeté résiduelle est donc très faible et la concordance avec l’hypothèse d'observation de l'étoile SIRIUS est démontrée. La consistance du témoignage est très bonne, précisions horaires, 2 photos de l'observation, 2 photos de jour du lieu, 3 vidéos de l'observation, deux témoins (même si un seul questionnaire a été rempli par les deux époux). Le GEIPAN classe ce cas en A : méprise avec un astre SIRIUS. [GEIPAN classification A — Sirius]

It was September 1st 2019. I had been away all day, where I was is roughly 2 to 2.5 hours from my home. I was traveling back home on a dark country road around 11:15-11:25. I stopped to take a pee on the side of the road I was nearly home about 30 minutes left. Did i mention nobody else around. As I was hiding on the back side of my vehicle I noticed to my right lightning or so I thought. Wrong! So I said to myself get your phone stupid. I got my phone and for approx 2 minutes or more watched and recorded. There was what appeared to be two lights or big dots that where bright white-ish in color on top of each other slowly moving swaying side to side. There may have been a slight up and down motion as well and if moved the right way another light/dot seemed to appear making it almost like a triangle pattern. Let me tell you it was interesting, I wasnt scared but I wasn't waiting around to see what happened either!

No stars/constellations in this area have as pronounced as this bright object. My wife and I have been viewing this now for over fifteen minutes, before I transcribed this log entry. Light is still visible, although slightly dimmer than ten minutes prior, still in the same general area.

My husband and I walked out onto our dock at our family lake cottage in Northern Wisconsin. It was the new moon. The skies were dark and clear. We were looking for the northern lights (reports said conditions were favorable to see them). My eye caught a very bright light above the tree line, in the distance (North West), that I originally thought was a planet. I stopped for a closer look. The light changed colors (red, yellowish, white). Then I saw it move. Very fast, “erratic”, non-patterned movements. When not doing this, it appeared to be hovering. It would hover for a minute, and then move erratically, basically returning to the same hovering position (repeatedly). The movements were so fast, that I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me! But then I called others over, and they saw the same “jigging”, “dancing” movements. Very slowly, it moved beyond our sight (past tree line), while doing the occasional, fast movements. No sound. Observers are adults ages 34-36 (naturalist, artist, engineer/former Marine).

I went outside to take my dog for a walk and looked up at the stars. They were so bright. I started looking around. I stopped because I wasn’t sure what I was seeing. At first it looked like a meteor shower. There were a number of “stars” that were twinkling and moving up in unison together. I just stared and watched them all move and twinkle until they gradually disappeared in layers. This happened over a minute or two.

In late August 2019 my girlfriend and I went camping / climbing in the Holcomb Valley Pinnacles. Everyone went to bed and I took my camera out for some astro photography. I was on top of a huge rock 20 feet in the air with my camera looking out toward the north west over the pinnacles. I saw several planes fly through the sky over an hour or so then I saw two what I thought were planes flying next to one another through the sky headed west north west. I had my camera pointed that way and captured them. Planes make a flashing line in astro photography as you leave the shutter open to allow more light in and there lights are flashing. These ufo's left two solid lines through the photo. I don't know what they were, but they didn't look like planes after I took a closer look at the photos. I could see a solid light as they flew. I've been taking astro photos for a few years now and am pretty familiar with how things look in the sky and pictures. These did not do! anything crazy, but do not look right.

Around 9:30 p.m., my wife had stepped out for some fresh air, she came back in a couple minutes later and said she saw what she thought was a small shooting star or a beam of light. She went back outside and a few minutes later I followed. She says there is a blinking light up there. I look directly overhead and see between the constellations Lyra and Cygnus (closer to Lyra) what appears to be about a 3.5 magnitude star completely blinking on and off. The light was blueish-white in color with possible hints of orange and thru binoculars is just a pinpoint of light not moving in relation to the numerous background stars and is clearly blinking 'on and off'. After about 10-15 minutes of watching, it faded out but never appeared to move at least not any perceivable amount. Never saw any more beams of light or other anomalies.
