While sitting in my hot tub I was looking in a Southward direction waiting for the SpaceX rocket launch, when I saw what I thought was a shooting star, but then I realized there were more lights around what I thought was the star. The lights were in a chevron shape and were very dim. The object with the lights moved across the sky very quickly. It was out of my view within 3 or 4 seconds. The object appeared to be flat and made no sound as it moved across the sky. My boyfriend also saw it as he was in the hot tub with me.

Circular shape, round like a ball, black, gliding very smoothly and passing by fairly quickly. When I zoom in on the picture, there seems to be some kind of circular field around it. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

Saw what we thought was a “low flying plane” but didn’t move, and it was too bright for any stars. Looked like a football with a slightly narrowed bottom. I had my son watch it from the back seat to see if it moved at all but he still says it was still the entire time [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

We stepped outside to look for a plane that just flew overhead to get a closer look, when my partner pointed at something else. In the distance, higher up in the sky away from this plane was what looked like a red flashing light over the military base but way up. I considered for a moment that it could be a hot air balloon spinning and catching the sun and flashing when the fire flashed, but it was moving way too fast to be a hot air balloon. It did look about the shape of a hot air balloon and even between flashes it appeared red but it had way too much altitude and was traveling too quickly. Then it changed directions, more than once over the course of several minutes, continuing to intermittently flash a bright red light. My partner says he could see almost a red trail when the red flashes ocurred. The air around the object as well appeared slightly distorted, like when you see heat waves coming off a vehicle during the summer and it distorts the look of the air near it. My partner says he saw what he thinks a sonic boom would do to the air. It grew further away until finally clouds were in the way and we could no longer see it. Now we are watching a bunch of airplanes leave trails that are becoming long clouds and covering this previously beautiful clear blue sky.

I couldn’t make out what it was until I saw the brake lights when it passed. It was a work truck the kind with a single cab and took boxes running down each side of the bed almost like a rectangle. Latter Rack on top. Was literally like in Harry Potter and driving the flying car. I almost passed out. This is now my 2nd sighting in 3 years …mount Hope wv. I also have physical issues that need to be investigated.

This object looking like a star from its height in the sky took a slight turn to the right away from the half moon in the clear sky. It then went on across the rest of the sky quickly and disappeared from sight. No sound or any visible flashing but it moved very fast over the whole sky. Could have been something from here but even satellites in space that I have witnessed don't move that fast.

Sioux Falls, SD
At 1025 pm I pulled into the Walmart parking lot on Louis Ave Sioux Falls, A large chevron shaped craft was moving at a very low altitude (100ft to 150ft) approximately 300ft in front of me. The craft was flying slow probably about 30 mph just clearing the top of Walmart, the craft was about the size of a couple city buses and moved with zero noise, the skin of the craft seamed to be coated in a light absorbing material and appeared as a black chevron moving against the back lit sky with a sort of shimmer around the edges, the craft itself had no visible light what so ever it seamed to absorb light, if it were not for the city lit sky you would never see or hear it, because of the city lights it appeared as a chevron shaped hole in space. As it crossed the store heading north it banked east presumably to avoid a air plane that just took off from the air port on the north side of the city, by time I parked my car to get a better look it had moved into a darker part of the sky and was no longer visible against the back drop of the night sky.

While driving home from the grocery store, I saw in the sky a very fast-moving object. I was near 40.23974839965564, -76.89965313955344. While we have a fair amount of airplanes and helicopters in our area, this didn't look like anything I'd ever seen before. It was shaped just like a tic-tac, or a pill; it was glowing white - and though it was moving very fast across the sky, diagonally from my upper right to lower left field of vision, it did not have a motion trail. It was perfectly shaped, meaning the outline of it stood out vividly against the sky, in perfect relief - the line of its shape was perfectly defined against the black sky, like it was drawn there. And it was glowing white, though there was nothing external that was lighting it (ie. no spotlight on it or any other external source of light). It moved very fast across the sky, paused very briefly at a spot in the distance, then rapidly shot straight down towards the ground. It then disappeared behind the skyline of houses and churches on the street. There was no explosion or indication that anything crashed - it just disappeared behind the building line. While I normally can hear and see airplanes, or hear and see helicopters coming in and out of Harrisburg City, there was absolutely no sound here - it was very un-nerving. I got home and took my dashboard camera inside to see if it caught anything. The video shows a light that looks like a shooting star, moving fast across the sky in a straight line from upper-right to lower left of the sky; it then pauses briefly, then shoots down and disappears.

Solid white bright light traveling south and up faster than a plane. Faded out and disappeared as we watched it

I was traveling on Hwy 87 toward Gilbert. It was around 6 pm. The sun was setting. At first I noticed a group of four crafts in the sky. What alarmed me was how close they seemed to be to each other and that they were slowly moving back and forth in the sky. One by one, the crafts disappeared. I made a turn onto Gilbert Road and saw three more crafts not moving in the sky. These crafts spread out and formed a triangle

First noticed in the sky as it was shiny and not moving. No chemtrails like 3 other high altitude airplanes in the sky at the time. Mentioned to other parents. Took 3 pictures roughly 30 seconds apart until it disappeared from view keeping the same plane in view for correlation. Best view is in first picture where the shape can be discerned well.

An object was crossing the sky in a seeming straight line and consistent slowish speed (a plane flew lower and went much faster). The sun was reflecting off the object so it was bright but it was spinning so it was twinkling. No sound. A plane flew under nearby it much faster and louder. I noticed it on the horizon and watched it cross across the sky above me for at least 5 minutes. Took a cell phone video which also seems to show it was spinning. No spoke or trail behind it. Thought it may be a balloon but appeared higher than the plane and also would have had to be very large to be visible from there. Also it was at a consistent speed and spin, not appearing to be in the wind. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Probable]

We have been seeing a white dot kn the sky approximately at sunrise everyday, whenever it is dark or dim out. It is stationary, doesn’t twinkle or flicker, and is in the exact same spot everyday. A thin shell also appears on the ”corona” of the object. On November 14th and 4th, the object moved southeast, but not too much. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

It was recorded on a ring, flying low. It was more of a triangular shape. The object moved at reasonable rate so I thought until I saw the duration of time that passed. I also have screen shots.

Very bright white light through leafless tree. Gained elevation and omitted blue light. Changed shape and direction. There is a cell phone tower with a blinking white light because the red light burned out. Thinking it was observing the cell tower.

My first report was hurriedly done and pics were trapped in my camera. I watched a very bright light through our leafless tree for a couple minutes. I called my husband and we watched together a couple more minutes with binoculars. My husband saw a blue aura. I saw a blue light burst from upper left of object. I got my canon camera and took still shots and 2 videos for 5 minutes. Object started below the trees and then went high. Would go farther than closer. Sighting ended as it seemed to spin and disintegrate. An hour or 2 later a chopper flew over and headed east to where we saw the object. There is a cell phone tower with a burned out red light. When that happens a white light blinks like a strobe light. We wondered if the UFO was attracted to the cell tower. I inquired at the sheriff’s office about any reports. They said no. I didn’t leave my name. Area is sparsely populated.

Sheep mountain, CO
@1730 .Dark,no clouds. Milky Way present. Son and I heading back to hunting camp. We noticed a very bright light that was directly behind a cloudy,or,hazy substance. There were no clouds . Clear night. This light was coming over Sheep Mountain. Coming from the North and NorthWest. Approximately 15-20 thousand feet in altitude. We were approaching Sheep Mountain to our North, North West. Nearest town from the approach angle is Gunnison, Colorado. Hunting camp near Sheep Mountain was @10,100 feet in elevation. Sheep Mountain is over 13,000 feet. We first thought it was a plane's nose light. Thought it was odd about the haze in front of this light. Son turned his headlamp on,and, this object veered to our left,gradually. Travelling South to SouthEast. Saw no id lights,and, no noise. Did not see an object. Light went off,and sky was clear. No object. Other hunters did not see,or, hear anything.

I was driving home from work, and I noticed a bright silver reflection in the sky, I thought maybe it was a plane or helicopter but it appeared to not be moving and after starting for a few seconds I began to wonder if maybe it was the North Star because of how bright it was. After about 15 seconds, it broke into 4 other bright silver reflecting/star like light and then appeared to vanish or camouflage to the sky. It has me so perplexed.

It didn’t make any noise, it is very quiet in Silverwood. There weren’t any contrails. It didn’t have wings.

My husband and I were driving back home on I43 near the exit for 23 when my husband got my attention to an object that was a sphere and silver and shiny, had to be of decent size in the sky. After a minute 1 round light turned on that was white in color, for a few seconds we lost site of the image and when we seen it the sphere was entirely black and going behind a cloud until it was gone. Was moving slowly, then would hover for a few seconds. It just vanished. Watched for it on 23 and seen nothing more.
