Maybe it’s nothing but considering it can only be seen while playing the videos in slow motion and it’s still clearly faster than the Blue Angels that I was filming, it’s pretty interesting. If you blink, you’ll miss it. It’s so fast and when I pause it and take a screen shot, then zoom in, on one of them, the shape changes from a dot to an odd shape. [NUFORC annotation: Bird - Probable]

Limerick, COUNTY T · Ireland
Took my dogs up Keeper Hill for a walk near Newport Tipperary in Ireland, took photos of dogs to send to my dad. Later at home I enlarged the photos and noticed a flying object above the clouds in one of the photos, I did not see it at the time and heard nothing in the sky. It looks strange. 1 object seen. It looks round but cannot be sure. Hard to make out colour. This is a mountain route in the Silvermines mountains in southern Ireland near my home.

A flicker of light with a gas like cloud moves from my sight as another gas cloud movement behind it. I had to prove to my mother that I was not on drugs with a visit to my doctor. I have a picture but you can’t really see it like you can in real time. It slows down as if it knows I see it, then takes off to its destination. Quick shooting beams emit from the star like light. Almost as if it was a headlight or a beam of light shooting to another starlike light but doesn’t stay on like a head light. Just a shooting beam of light, it’s how I was attracted to pay closer attention. I have one daytime photo of two metal objects peaking out of clouds as it was a rainy day during that time during photo. I don’t know exactly how to explain what I seen so I hope that this makes sense to someone reading this.

I've sent a few pictures that I think you might find interesting. Or at least give a plausible explanation. One is a close up of the object in question and the other is the actual photo of the sunset with the object upper-center-left appearing as a small dot. The third is the object closer and has moved to upper-center-right. Please note: neither my girlfriend or I noticed the object when the photos were taken. Not until this morning when I was looking at the pictures did I see them yet they are clearly visible. Look forward to hearing from you and hearing what you think we are seeing here. Location: Nimitz Beach, Oahu, Directly across the street from the US Coast Guard Station. Date: 21 October 23 Time: ~6:00PM [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Certain]

Sitting at one spot familiar to myself (again) & it's going on 03:00AM and looking to the S.W. at I believe Venus? *checked with Earth Sky.com it was Venus, and to the right of the brightly glowing Venus his morning and a solid black shape, like a US state shaped (Utah, NM?) appears all of a sudden now!, entirely noticeable and really really black. Like if you know what a shadow entity is then I'd equate it to that as a solid, initial reference and blips out. Almost immediately following to the left of Venus/star a super faint flash, spark! of a thing. - and done-

Brentford, LONDON B · United Kingdom
I noticed what I thought at first was two escaped balloons, but as it got closer it looked like two balls attached and rotating round (almost like bicycle pedals). I took a video and the people I showed it to suggested it might be a drone, but having finally looked up different types of drones, here don't seem to be any like this. The video won't upload so I've attached a screen shot from it [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

Alexandria, VA
October 19, 2023, 7pm. While driving home in the evening I saw an orange glowing object flying low. I initially thought it was a drone on fire. I parked in my driveway to get out and get a better look. I saw multiple silent orange objects flying northwards in a staggered line, possibly about a dozen. A neighbor walking his dog stopped to watch and my wife came out to look. I went back indoors and didn’t have a good count of the total number of objects. Videos attached from iPhone 15 Pro. Living near DC, I can only assume the objects might be military?

Since around 10:00PM 20231018 I have been hearing a type of craft outside of my home in seaside California consistently. I first looked at the weather because when the craft gets loud it sounds like thunder but some times with my high pitched frequencies. It’s has been sunny all week and continues to be sunny last night and today. Then I attempted to record the sound although difficult to fully pickup from the inside of my home. I explored the possibility that it could be a military craft, but the sound which can sound anything like passing cars on a highway, to an airplane flying over head, to full blown thunder has lasted over 7 hours so far staying in the same location. I am not entirely sure what it is but I could not help but to feel anxious as I’ve never experienced sounds like this coming from what seems to be nowhere. I have not been able to sleep more than 3-4 hours tonight because of these sounds and I think an investigation is definitely worth while.

Saw what looked like a weird cylindrical tube in the clouds, watched it and looked like we launched something but it was coming from a weird angle to be from the closest known military base and the scale was weird, as well as the following aerial phenomena. I took video. Maybe nothing but was really weird. Around 7:15 or so in the morning local time. Do not release my name but you may contact me if needed. [NUFORC annotation: Contrail - Certain]

Opened back door and saw 2 lights in sky. Oblong in shape and were not stars or planets! First object was to the north-east and second object was to the east. Looked away and they where both still there. There was no clouds in immediate area either. This happened approx. 8:25 EST pm. 10-14-2023. last one I saw was reported to police department 5 years ago. Today 10-15-2023 I read that ufos were sighted in Texas approx. same time. This is too odd.

Murphysboro, IL
My brother and I were leaving St. Joseph's Memorial Hospital in Murphysboro, IL around 5:40am, and on the way home, I noticed something strange in the sky. At first, I thought it was a weird bright star that I hadn't noticed before. Shortly after discovering it, I realized it was moving. I then told my brother to look up at the sky, and as soon as I did, it was much closer as well as brighter. It then shifted to my side of the vehicle, and I decided to pull over to take pictures in amazement. I started to feel very nauseous, which isn't an uncommon symptom I experience, however this was also met with an uneasy "start driving away" feeling. So, I did exactly that. I got back off the side of the road, and I continued to drive home. As we watched this object move in an oddly quiet, quick, and peculiar motion, I grew more nervous then drove to a gas station. On the way there, it shifted to my side of the vehicle, and almost had what looked like rays of light beam off it. I began to panic and stopped at a gas station called Moto Mart in Carterville, IL, and convinced the attendant to step outside. I'm not certain if everything she saw, but I did ask her to step outside to view the object. When she did, the object was high in the atmosphere, which made it difficult to see. She did say that she stepped back outside after we left and the object was still there. Yet, we were followed until we reached two roads from our house, then it completely vanished. During the entire time we noticed the object in a still form, and rarely with flashing lights. Majority of the time the lights were a solid color. We believe there were actually as many as four objects all together. We noticed several different shapes through the course of the interaction, as well as different colors. I first noticed a tic tac shape which is partially what drew me to the "star", then we noticed a formation which looked like several different crafts, then we noticed a straight line, then an almost boomerang shape, and we noticed a triangle with a straight line through the middle. We were able to see this with a naked eye, even during the daylight.

Austin, TX
Mid-October (exact date forgotten) At around 4:00 AM I was running laps on the fourth floor of the parking garage at Park University in Austin, Texas, located on Morado Cir. This part of Austin has very dense old-growth tree cover, and is hilly, so being on top of the garage gives a very clear view of the sky that you wouldn't otherwise get on the ground. Some time around 4:00 AM I noticed a bright golden light in the sky, to the northwest. It looked similar to the lights that you see on large commercial aircraft, i.e. Boeing 747 or larger. I initially paid it no mind. But after 5 minutes had passed, I stopped to look at it. Almost as soon as I began taking a closer look, the light began to move to the east, and it also came closer toward me. It was moving unusually slow, and several times, it quickly stopped and remained in place, or even descended vertically, for several seconds. As it got within about 300 feet of me, at an altitude of maybe 400 feet, I saw what seemed to be a long, thick, vertical "cylinder", seemingly in front of the light. The cylinder seemed to be about 30 feet long, but I have no training to discern an object's size at that distance. The cylinder was shadowy and difficult to see or describe. I think it had horizontal protuberances, similar to a dilole antenna. Whatever it was, I'm confident this was not a conventional aircraft. I also don't believe it was a drone. There was no wind that day and it was very quiet. I heard no noise. I stood there perplexed as I watched this strange combination of a brilliant golden light and an obscure vertical cylinder drifting over my neighborhood. It passed between the parking garage and nearby Village Oaks apartments. This was definitely unsettling to watch. The way the object could stop suddenly, descend suddenly, and just as quickly continue drifting didn't seem like anything a normal aircraft could do. And there was absolutely no sound even after it got ahead of me, as I would expect from a jet aircraft. Several days before this, perhaps a quarter of a mile from the parking garage, I saw strange moving lights in a heavily wooded valley, along with unusual helicopter activity farther away. This was around 12:00 AM. As far as I am aware there were no search and rescue operations, manhunts or chases going on around that time. There is not a significant homeless population in this part of Austin and there's very little crime, so I don't think this was a coincidental homeless encampment or fleeing suspect. Whatever it was, it was uncanny. The lights were small, golden-orange, and spaced about 20 feet away from eachother and seemed to drift around but never got close enough for me to identify them.

A blinding light shown down on my house even though there was no clouds in the sky and no aircraft overhead. A chinook helicopter circled my neighborhood ten minutes after said blinding light illuminated my house for a couple of seconds. The light was brief but blinding and no noise was emitted. Dogs were barking relentlessly.

Worthing, ENGLAND · United Kingdom
I woke up after having weird dream about genetic changes in the future and suddenly I woke up because I felt I was being watched and I felt presence in my room. I raised my head and I saw two creatures staring at me and it was something like transparent energy field but I could still see coloured sparks of light emanating from the edges of their shape and I was like really tall persons that they couldn’t stand straight in my room they slowly started backing backwards and after few seconds I heard gentle knock on my glass door to the garden …I was totally terrified and started shaking and I didn’t want to leave my bed because I was scared they might be in my living room … I eventually stand up and looked outside but I couldn’t see any craft or anyone … I never had situations like that… I only saw UFO orb golden light doing high manoeuvres zig zag very fast once in Poland over the Power Plant in 2010 in Jastrzębie Zdrój town, and later in Worthing town West Sussex UK in 2012 it was a bright orange disk light and it headed towards west and suddenly disappeared at very high speed

Chapin, SC
This early morning, as indicated here, I was letting my Golden out for the morning routine. While she is doing her thing, I always look to the sky either last night PM or early AM morning This morning, I looked straight up, and there was an orange object, very noticeable that just stood out from the black sky. It appeared maybe 6 to 8 seconds. I carry a high density flash light, and I shined it at the exact spot in the sky. Expecting what to happen, I don't know. It wasn't a aircraft. This orange color was right off a color pallet, pure orange as if engine exhaust. Twenty seconds later, a satellite passed by almost the same location. This is the second incident of spotting a lone light that completely disappears. A previous twin orange viewing was reported here.

Aurora, OR
I stayed outside another 15-20 minutes and do not see again and went inside. I contacted my neighbors to see if anyone was flying a drone at 9:08 pm pst, that was right after second siting. Even though it was much higher than a drone, figured my eyes could be deceiving. No one in our rural neighborhood admitted to knowing what it was.
