We were sitting at the kitchen counter and looked out the sliding glass doors to a giant light that was green and red and white launching straight into the sky from the ground. Thought it was a rocket but this was Sunday night. Too loud to be a drone but too quiet to be a plane. Slowed down frame by frame in my video you can see it rotating from red light to green light to white light like they were placed on a disk. It was moving fast bc we had to run to the front yard just to catch it. Wasn’t flying in. A straight like either and I had saw a plane go by about twenty min after this. The thing we saw was not a plane. You could see it glowing green past the horizon of trees. Circular for sure with disk like features. I thought it was just a drone at first but this looked like a rocket launch not a drone flying up. Also it was way too high up in the atmosphere to be a drone. You also just feel chills on your neck and body knowing that this is not something you regularly see. I had to stay out there for 20 extra minutes just peering into the sky. No rocket launches on the 19th.

I was in park when I saw it. It was a ball type which was quite fast. It went very fast and then it disappeared. My friends and other's also saw it. It was yellow and white and blue in color. It was very different from a normal aeroplane. (plane that carry passengers go around my house) We also noticed that no noise was coming from it but after it disappeared, there was a sensation of heat.

I made a right on Edworthy Side Road at approximately 6:45pm on the evening of the sighting. I noticed 1 flashing red light a few hundred yards ahead. I have been on this road hundreds of times and never noticed a light before. There are no street lights. I first thought that a tower had been erected, but as I got closer I noticed there were 3 red lights. As I drove almost under it (it was slightly off the road about 40-50 feet in the air), I noticed a set of blue lights on the opposite side of the red. The red lights were staggered, like the middle one was in front of the other 2. The space between the red and blue lights was completely opaque (could not see the night sky). There was no tower, no structure, nothing. Just this floating object that was difficult to make out, other then the lights. As I drove under it I rolled my window down and stuck my head out for a closer look. Again, almost impossible to make out the edges. It just appeared darker then the night sky. As I drove past it, I became frightened and accelerated until the traffic light. There was at least 1 car on the road at the same time as me - driving about 10-20 car lengths ahead of me. They didn't appear to slow down. On my way home later that evening I took the same route home. There were no lights or structure there.

I happened to look out my bedroom window at around 2:30am and I saw a small circular UFO that blinked between white and black. it moved up and down and left and right and loop-d-looped. The bottom part of my window was covered with a drop-cloth because my parents and I are getting new shades for our windows. I tried taking a video and photos of the UFO but my flip-phone apparently does not allow for that function. I got our binoculars but the binoculars did not work well and I could not get a clear sight on the lense. I had my TV on because I was watching the news. I watch the news in the middle of the night. My parents were sleeping and nobody in my neighborhood was awake apparently. We live in a gated community in Fort Myers, Florida. There is a sidewalk in front of out house and nobody was walking on the sidewalk and no cars drove by on our street. I did not tell my parents about this UFO sighting. I have seen vidoes of this type of UFO sighting that I saw on the internet. It is the first time I have seen a UFO with my own eyes.

I can't believe I'm filling this out. I was driving home and saw three lights as I was going up a hill toward the end of the hill at a junction from Nelson Rd to West Rd. I was surprised and thought the lights were a new radio tower or something. It was too close to be the only other lights which are further at a ski place about 6 miles down. I take this road three times a week so it was foreign and new. As I got to the crest of the hill overlooking the field where I expected a tower, there was none, and the objects were just floating. I turned my car southwest on cranston rd instead of going northeast as I usually do to get home to get a better view. At this point I could only see two of them. I was in awe, and had a clear view within my car of one of these things slowly moving east, and the other hovering straight above it, but that one didn’t move, only the bottom one. I was dangerously hanging out around the road and pulled over as another car was behind me and I got out of the car to get a closer look and see if I could hear a helicoptor sound or something as we get a lot of helicopters here. It was completely silent. I was hoping the car behind me would stop to talk about this but he kept going northeast but he was also driving slowly and erratic so I know he saw it. Within a few seconds they both did a small swirl which looked directly away from me and disappeared. I got home, and kind of shaken up by it, I called the NYS State Police in New Lebanon NY at 518-793-8445 to see if they got any reports of weird lights. They didn’t, but he thought it could be a starlink satellite formation. I felt very ackward and told the officer that I felt like a nut calling but I saw something, I have seen starlink satellite lights before and they are much smaller and much more distance than this. The time of the police call was 8:53PM EST and lasted about 1 minute. The total event from driving to me getting out of the car, to them disappearing was less than one minute, maybe around one minute exactly. I did think of getting my phone and taking a video but it just happened too fast and I was kind of stunned by it and didn’t grab one. But I am ordering a dash cam today because of this. What I really just want to know, more than anything, is did anyone else see these? I just want my sighting validating as being seen by someone else is my feeling more than anything. They were insanely bright orange, almost like a campfire, but circular. I am 50 years old, an engineer, a dad, high educated, no alcohol or drugs, well grounded and not a conspiracy nut, and I can't explain what I saw. The way it hovered, moved was not natural, it was clearly vehicular by nature and moved too fast for me to understand what it could be. It was too close to be a satellite, which I see often as I have clear country skies. Is there anyway I can be notified if someone else saw this ? The curiousity is killing me about this. I havent told anyone else other than the police because I didn’t want to sound like a whack job, but its been on my mind all morning. I do not want my name disclosed

I was watching the stars as I do most early mornings and I saw a really bright ball of light and it zipped by super quick not across the whole sky maybe like a fourth of the sky and then disappeared into the sky. It was only one I’m still very shocked but I saw online it says to report so here I am.

As the lights got closer the aircraft came into view it was large the lights were so bright I had to squint to see the aircraft it was large and very close to the ground as if it was landing. It was not spinning it was hovering the circle of lights was stationary under the aircraft. It did not fly away I was afraid to stop on the dark road.

Bright large object with colored lights (blue white red) spotted on sky, lights shining with bright beams. At first , it was hovering in one spot and then started to rapidly move with erratic movements. Lights went off and object reappear on opposition location, very rapidly. The sound was very loud like a big jetplane.

9:24 PM Nov 11,2023 Highland Village Texas. We were driving home and saw these strange lights in the sky behind the clouds. We stopped and observed the lights from the side of the road for about 3 minutes. There was not the tell tale sign of a ground based spot light or laser from the reflecting on the clouds, but these lights were behind the clouds. The lights moved in a specific pattern. First we saw two lights and then it would dance in a shuffling back and forth revealing four or five lights approximately, then one or two sustained lights on the far side and then sequentially shine one light at a time around the full circumference of the craft. A full light cycle lasted approximately 10 seconds. We saw four such cycles. I estimate 12 - 15 total lights around the circumference, but I could not see the backside. Our friend observed the lights from a different location independently from us and sent us the attached clip, he was much further away from the lights than we were respectively and captured less than one full cycle.

The was no noise as I am used to seeing jets go over. These had no noise and did not change their path. Each seemed to originate from same area of the skyline and disappeared in the same area of skyline. They were about 20 seconds apart from each other. I have seen many things but not like these.

I spotted five round, glowing red craft hovering over the Skagit Valley, when looking eastbound from Fidalgo Island. They did not move. All stayed in formation and kept an even distance from one another. There were two, noticeably larger ones of similar size to each other and three smaller ones around the same size. An aircraft passed by during this time, but they did not react to the aircraft.

Gulf Shores, AL
While traveling South on the Foley Beach Express, we observed at first one orange circular light in the southern sky. This orange light would appear for about 10 seconds before slowly fading. A short time later we observed two orange lights in the same position. These lights appeared then faded in about 7 second intervals. After their third appearance, these lights faded and did not reappear. These lights did not seem to change position at any time. We estimate their location to be somewhere over the eastern side of Gulf Shores, Alabama.

UFO appeared as a slow shooting star just outside of orbit, then realized it was UFO by its zigzag pattern. I flashed SOS to ship multiple times. It disappeared after 45 sec going south. Then reappeared east beginning to flash its external light in response to my flashlight it was now bigger as It was closer slightly. Like a passenger plane it remained zigzagging and then shot off at the speed of light south. Leaving a trail of light for half a second.

I left my daughter’s house and saw a glowing, round object in the sky. It didn’t have a defined shape. It was moving from SW to SE in a slightly erratic flight pattern. I knew it wasn’t a plane because it didn’t have any of the blinking lights that planes have and it didn’t have a contrail. I took a photo and then a video, both with my iPhone. I phoned my husband, we live next door, and asked him to come out quickly to look at this object. He agreed that it didn’t appear to be a plane. The object went out of view after a couple minutes due to tree and building obstructions. If you look carefully at the video, you can see that sometimes it moves slightly up and down and then straight. I didn’t look carefully at the still photo until the following day, October 31st. When I enlarged it as much as I could, I was a bit shocked by what I saw. The photo is why I am contacting you. The object has an irregular shape and seems to be emitting its own light causing a glow. There are three “lines “coming down from the shape. It’s just really strange. I showed this to several people and we all agree that it’s certainly not a plane. I would love to know what you think it could be. It appears you would like latitude and longitude. I looked it up for Durango Colorado. Latitude is 37.270500 and longitude is -107.878700 [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Possible]
