Fredericksburg, VA, International Waters
On the NASA ISS live feed, witnessed these "lights" that seemed to flee once ISS was close. Could be a lens thing with the cameras? However the way they moved was unusual. The ISS and NASA feed went offline very shortly after.

Carmel, IN
I was driving west near the intersection of W 116th St. and Ditch Rd. in Carmel, IN when I saw a massive craft directly overhead that was flying extremely fast. It was also traveling west like I was, so it came from behind me in the east. It was just after 1 AM so it was difficult to make out the exact color of the craft, but it appeared to either be black or dark gray. The shape was clearly that of a chevron and it was the size of at least several football fields. The wingtips each had several lights that interchangeably swapped between red and green at a very fast pace, about several times a second or so. It was only visible for several seconds before it disappeared into the distance; at first it was just traveling very fast, likely faster than the speed of sound. However, it became increasingly faster the longer it was in sight. Ultimately, it was so fast that it looked as if it left an after-image and just otherwise vanished.

After seeing the airborn craft, I continued to walk, and felt a presence at a certain point. I saw a dark figure behind a bush. When it turned its head up I began to shake and see certain visions; as if I was watching or streaming movie over movie and i couldn’t move even though I wanted to run. I don’t know how long this lasted, until I awoke on the field approximately 2-3 hours later.

Lincoln, NE
It had been a hour or so since my family and I stopped lighting fireworks. I was sitting in my rocking fold up chair in the driveway. I was rocking back and forth when I noticed something above me maybe 500 feet up comeing from the southeast heading northwest. It was moving really slow maybe 10 to 15mph. At first I thought it was smoke from a firework but as I kept watching it a boomerang shape was appearing. It was translucent but I could see the outline of the boomerang craft from the way the lighting and smoke in the sky were reflecting off of it. Then as it was passing over me heading away I could tell the smoke from fireworks in the area were above it and reflecting on the bottom of it and I could see a occasional star also on the bottom of the craft! It was silent no noise almost looked like water it was the strangest thing I ever seen but the coolest technology ever! I don’t know what made me look up there could of been a residence sound or slight hum to it? Not sure it just appeared so fast I couldn’t take my eye off ot it! As it got farther away the area was getting brighter in the direction it was heading which was northwest, the boomerang shape started to fade and it just looked like a large puff of smoke or a cloud moving away about 10 to 15mph or so “so cool” and confusing at the same time. I was not drinking or under the influence I don’t drink just saying cuz it’s the 3rd of July and we were celebrating the 4th. As my mind was trying to process all this I just kept reapeating in my head “we have the technology” “we have the ttechnology” almost like it was a way to calm me because my mind was going in overload looking at this craft I couldn’t make since of it then all of sudden it was like that thought ( “we have the technology”) was being broadcast or put in my thoughts somehow! Still in shock!!! “WOW!!! (Real sighting: is it ours or theirs?)

Winnemucca, NV
I saw what I thought was huge white birds flying in a V formation.Then , they were doing maneuvers , in which I noticed the sun reflecting off of a silver looking metal. I was driving at the time, so I drove in the direction that they were moving. They were flying above Winnemmucca Blvd.They ended up hovering at the East end of Winnemucca Blvd, doing maneuvers flying in and out of each other. I pulled over to photograph - video but, poof they disappeared into thin air. I couldn’t get my phone set on the camera-video mode in time.There were other people driving near me, but I don’t know if they saw them.There were a few people standing by the car wash, but I don’t know if they saw them.

Lamont, CA
I was driving on the southbound lane heading towards LA on the 5 and witnessed to my left a chevron shaped craft the size of a Boeing 747 hovering about 1000 feet off the ground with around 10 bright lights on it. It banked to the left, cut the lights, and it became clear that the craft was non reflective and seemingly black in color. It then dove towards the ground over a field, righted itself so it was parallel to the ground at around 50 ft off the ground and flew for around 1000 feet then lifted up and sped away disappearing. None of the plants or crops seemed to be blowing or effected by the craft. It was much more agile that a regular plane and due to its size surprising that if it was military it would be allowed to cut its lights as well as fly that low by a highway. Many other cars seemingly reacted to it as well but I did not stop to chat with anyone as there were no immediate exits.

Probable conventionalCleveland, OH
I was driving home from Elyria to Cleveland on 480 E. I always look at the clouds & I noticed what I thought was a bird soaring in and out of the clouds. I immediately knew it wasn't a plane because of the way it was moving. As I tried to watch it while driving (kinda hard and even harder to videotape while driving on a busy highway), it literally blended in with the clouds, then I lost sight and when I was able to look up again I saw it reflected light, so it wasn't a bird. But planes don't maneuver the way this one was, in and out of clouds. It wasn't triangular, more like a Chevron and kinda small (that's why I thought it was a bird, until I saw it reflect light). I lost sight when the direction of my road changed and I started going Southbound. [NUFORC annotation: Bird - Probable]

DuBois, PA
I consider myself a fairly knowledgeable UFO hunter and fully disclose I was actively hoping to see one. However, in my entire life, this would be the first time I believe I saw one. I wrote down my report with a basic sketch immediately that night as to not forget the precise details. It is as follows: June 17 10:40PM DUBOIS, PA Object was seemingly translucent. Made visible by firework haze and lights from fireworks. Seemingly popped out of nowhere and shot off in a trajectory that was quickly obscured by neighboring house. Experience was maybe a second long. High certainty of vision at the moment. ---Current Additional Notes--- The object was most definitely a classic boomerang shape. In hindsight the object may have been black just as well. Against the night sky it could seem translucent. I was intentionally watching other parts of the sky rather than the fireworks display. The space I was observing was where it became visible. I had a straight perfect view of it. It was almost as if you could see the haze from the fireworks being navigated through by an object that was low visibility. It moved with remarkable speed and steadiness. As if turbulence or atmosphere have no effect on movement. No light associated with event. No obvious sound associated with event.

Kuna, ID
We were in the backyard at my cousin’s, celebrating his birthday. I wandered away from the porch to look at the stars. I was looking straight up, facing the southern sky and noticed a very faint, bluish white light. It looked as if someone was pointing a flashlight through fog, but the sky was clear of any clouds. As my eyes focused and adjusted, I saw more of the same lights. They were all in a V formation like the way geese fly. The lights appeared to fall in and out of sync ever so slightly, which made me think it might have been multiple craft. This all took place within a matter of seconds. I was stunned and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The only thing I could do was mutter an expletive to myself. As it passed over the house, out of my line of sight, I ran to the opposite end of the backyard to see if I could follow it again, but it was gone. I returned to the group and told them what I saw.

Went out back of my house and saw the object floating above my neighbor's yard high above the trees. It had green lights on the bottom of it. After hovering there for roughly 2-3 minutes, it sped off over towards a more populated area.

Saw a huge chevron shape of multiple reddish-orange colored lights fly over from west to east. 5-10 seconds. Maybe 2-3 miles wide. No sound. Appeared to be out in space. Not starlink.

Grand Island, NE
This is the second time I have seen one of these. The first instance was in November or December of 2022, this second instance was May 2 at 1:59 AM. Both instances, I was outside viewing the stars, and noticed movement out of the corner of my eye, so I focus on that spot. Definitely a chevron shape, although it is difficult to explain, as they appear to be made to blend into the sky. Absolutely no sound or lights, they simply glide by. The whole experience only lasts for seconds because once they glide by, they just kind of blend into the night sky. It would be impossible for me to get a picture due to how well they blend into the surrounding area. I am a 66 year old, retired female. I used to be a programmer as well as a system administrator for retail corporate offices.

Largo, FL
I was walking my dog along the west side of Seminole Lake in Largo Florida. It was approximately 12:45 in the morning when I looked to the west towards the condominiums. I observed flying from south to north a chevron/boomerang shaped craft. The craft had I believe 4-5 round white lights on it that were not very bright. The craft seemed to look almost transparent as it traveled north. If I’m looking at the roof of the building the craft was about four finger lengths above the roof line. It was hard to say how high the craft was, but close enough to make out the shape and size which was pretty big. The craft as it was traveling north almost appeared to be canting to its left. To me it appeared as of the craft had appeared out of nowhere. The craft appeared to be in and out of cloaking. As I was attempting to get out my phone to record the craft it faded out as it traveled north behind trees. I was hoping I could pick it back up as it traveled north. I immediately called my wife and told her, then called my friend to share my sighting.

Ambridge, PA
I was with my friend in the backyard looking at the sky one of our favorite things to do. We saw what looked like a plane towing another plane but was connected. We thought maybe it was a blimp but I dont know why there would be a blimp near where I live and it would have been on the news. It was very big and kinda low to the ground and made no sound. There were lights on the front and back. The shape was a chevron but connected.

Virginia Beach, VA
Extremely large light gray/white? chevron with rounded nose flying 7 miles from Oceana NAS (Appeared to be making a loop around NAS). This UFO would be the size of 3 jets flying in group formation and had 3 bright lights located on its underside with one under the nose and another under each wing? UFO had a low humming engine noise-not really loud like the jets we see all the time.

As I looked toward the moon a craft that was very bright and had lights on what looked like wings or appendages began to move in a strange manner. It came toward my direction and then took off into the darkness at a very high rate of speed. I watched it disappear in a matter of seconds.

Revere, MA
3 crafts one bluish and fairly stationary the second one looked green and yellow with wire like appendages floating around the craft. The 3rd was black with red lights looked transparent as if I could see the operator tall white long legs. This craft came down my street silent and slow turned above my Nieghbors house to the right hesitated and slowly moved off towards the north gradually gaining altitude. No sound at all the size of a small bus that came to a point also with wire like appendages flowing around.This went on for well over an hour. I have pictures that look like it’s small and far away but these were flying just above the roof tops. I didn’t think to video it. It was a clear cold night and these were not drones or helicopters, they emitted no sound at all. These were brightly lit , I believe that the one that looked transparent had an operator in a seated position moving arms around controlling the aircraft. This is a true statement I was not drinking or under the influence of anything. I am 60 years old and never seen anything like this in my life.

Hermitage, PA
There was a V shaped hovering craft in the sky. I thought it was an airplane at first but it wasn’t moving which I thought was weird and as I got closer it got bigger so I knew it wasn’t moving. Then when I approached a stop sign I stayed for about a minute and watched it. It had 5 lights and they were very bright. It was very dark, maybe black, but it could be seen against the night sky. It stayed in the same spot then all of a sudden it turned sideways (vertical) and darted out of sight. I could not see it on the horizon at all after it darted. It was gone in less than 2 seconds. No sounds or noise from the craft.

Gainesville, FL
Clear night with perfect visibility and little to no wind. I was letting my dogs outside one last time for the night. As I was waiting I looked up, and from the corner of my eye I saw movement in the sky. I focused my attention to the object and noticed it was flying but I could not make out any details such as shape or size until it started to pass in front of stars. This object emitted no lights or sounds. The color perfectly matched the sky and so would have been invisible had it not been moving in front of stars. This is when I could see the silouhette of a boomerang or chevron shape. The object coasted steadily in a straight line until it left my field of view. I am an avid bird watcher, skygazer and am familiar with all aircraft types including drones. I am 32 years old and have never witnessed an aerial object I couldn't identity until this incident.

2 lights in sky. Not moving. One is much higher. Just sitting camped over Gulf of Mexico. Some fishing boats present. Upon viewing through binoculars, they each appear metallic. There is a single light source in the middle of whatever this is. There are what look like windows on each thing. Bottom light has gotten dimmer in last few minutes.
