Curtains were open, blue object had no sound and hoovered long enough to flash me with white beam through window, then floated away. It was very late at night. Will take lie detector test. Other things have been happening too, since the incident. I have audio I'd like someone to hear.

My son says Mom, what’s that and I look up to see about 7 round white orb looking objects traveling in a straight line formation but, as they approach the big dipper "handle", they changed formation into almost a V-shape, and they disappeared. No noise, no wings, no smoke. I tried to get my phone one but, they were gone. It would be easier to draw a picture of what I saw to explain it better. I tried to check satellite websites for any launches (I've seen the satellites in the sky when they launch, and it was nothing like that). I tried to check for any possible military training because we live next to a small coast guard base and 3hrs away from Joint Base Lewis McCord military base but, I couldn't find anything saying that they had training that night. Also, I've seen/heard a lot of military aircraft fly by, and these were completely silent. If I wasn't looking up, I would have completely missed them. The only noise was from other people on the street saying, “Oh my god, what is that!”. I waited to report this because I assumed an article would come out saying they had satellites, trainings, or something to explain what I saw. Obviously, I'm no expert but, I know what I saw. It's been a week and I'm still checking for more information. I'm sure you have way more resources than I do to confirm any sort of explanation and I would love to learn your conclusion! *It's not letting me upload my video or picture. I can provide this if this gets investigated. Thank you for your time.

My wife and I were sitting outside giving out Halloween candy to the kids when I noticed a bright rectangular white light (with binoculars looked like two lights on top of a long bright light) to the NortWest. Wind blowing at ground level but rock steady. Maintained the same position for three hours before it became too cold and we went inside. Airplanes flying over and under. Clearly not an airplane or helicopter or consumer drone (no drone can hover for three hours). I am a retired police officer with an aviation background and hold an FAA Commercial Pilot certificate.

I was on flight NK2060 MCO-BOS seating on 25A (window on Port side of the plane) enjoying my vacation. The descent had already started and we were around 15 minutes from landing. I estimate the altitude should be around 6000 feet. I was looking at the window and recognizing other Aircraft models that passed by (I like to do that since I work at an airport and I’m interested in planes). I recognized several of them, but suddenly I saw this spherical object reflecting very bright white blueish light going SW direction. I mean it passed in the opposite direction we were heading and I could see it for about 7 seconds and I didn’t have enough time to grab a camera. It passed by us I would say not more than 1 mile below and 1 mile East and moved at at least double speed of other aircrafts. It had nothing to do with any aspect of an aircraft.

Too high to see a shape but below the clouds. I took notice because the sun was reflecting erratically off of it and was very bright. Unlike it would on a plane. Though it moved about as fast a plane would be moving at that altitude so I thought ok maybe a plane until. It was heading west at first for about 1 and a half minutes then took a sudden turn to the north east for a minute. It then took a turn to the north east for a minute then again to the north until I could not see it anymore. Not 5 minutes later a military highflyer left a white stream across the sky headed the same direction. Not much of a sighting I guess but I really don't think it was just a plane. Wish I had more to report.

While waiting in front of my house with my two kids and wife for school bus to arrive, we saw a fast, shiny, object moving high in the sky. The object had no white streaks, or flashing lights the way a jet does. It appeared to be moving very fast then it slowed down and then it moved fast again. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

Several lights about 6 or 7 blinking red and appeared to be evenly spaced and and blinking in synchronized manner from right to left. Appeared to be all one solid piece by the blinking and spacing all moving evenly across the sky. Obtained some video of it. If lights were one solid object then this object was massive. Estimate about 300 yards across. Disappeared as it floated out of sight moving west toward Orange County Ca.

White circular light moving in what seemed to be a fog on a clear night. It moved across the sky staying as a white circle for a few minutes. It appeared to stop, change shapes, get brighter, then a plume expelled from it. Before the plume happened you could see a perfect circle in the center, inside another circle. There is a moment before the plume that the white light reforms as a triangle inside the circle. Then it started to head away from us and became dimmer. [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Possible]

The Colony, TX
I routinely record timelapse of sunrise and sunsets. Great condition to see 'red skies" on Monday so I broadcast the sunset live on Instagram and also recording a timelaspe to post later. Stopped all recording after sun was down. Still really clouds flowing so I started a new time-lapse 7:37pm - 10:34pm. Downloaded the file and did a quick view before deleting as intended. The flying object showed up a 7:54. I'm close to a small aiport so I'm seeing planes all the time gut nothing like this. I looks huge compared to the other planes flying by that night. It caught my attention immediately and then it does something that projects forward that resembles a sonic smoke right. Captured on a Wyze 2k camera with timestamps.

The light seemed to be flying through a cloud, had a haze around it and seemed to be a directional light changing where it was pointing a couple of times. I am an air traffic controller and the light was verified by a pilot but not seen by our radar services. When the light got south of the airfield it had a seemingly burst of gas the shot out in front of it like a cone shape and then the light slowly faded until it was spotted again about 30 seconds later further to the southeast looking more like a bright star while moving and faded out very rapidly after about 10 seconds and then faded again until it was no longer visible or observed.

I was in the Dollar Tree parking lot waiting for my kids to come to the vehicle and I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. I turned to look and saw a smoke ring blow off of the light-yellow orb light. By the time I got my camera up to video, the light had moved away but you can barely see it at the two sec mark traveling away in the video I took. It made no noise whatsoever. You can hear the toddler in the vehicle saying something about fireworks. She thought it was fireworks, she saw it as well. She is only two but she saw it. The light looked large and nearby, smoke ring looked very close not far away in the sky so it was either very big and far away or it was local. It was large when first spotted and moved away quickly after the smoke ring shot out. [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Possible]

Myself, my husband, and a friend saw a hazy light moving through the sky at high speed. It started mid sky moving toward the horizon. The light at its core appeared to turn occasionally but the haziness around it never faded. At about 25 degrees in the sky, it released a puff smoke but in front of it, not behind it. The puff of smoke turned into a massive smoke ring which it then proceeded to move through. Near the horizon, maybe 10 degrees it completely disappeared. It didn't fade out, was just gone. It was one light, white, with a bright light at the center. The stars were perfectly clear which is why the hazy light stood out. Planes and satellites were also viewable and perfectly clear. I've attached a video and you can even see the stars and the difference. My husband unfortunately stopped recording right before it released the smoke. [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Probable]

My wife and I saw a very bright light south of highway. Light was moving SSE. Light appeared to be behind mist as if in fog, but no clouds were in sky. Witnessed a plane fly in close proximity to bright light but did not have the same hazed effect. Object appeared to increase in speed after plane went by. Object suddenly grew in intensity of brightness then appeared to pulse out sphere of light that could be seen growing out from center like a ripple in a pond. Got binoculars on object as it was going over horizon at a very far distance. Could see two distinct lights. Called parents later to discuss. They live south of Pagosa Springs, CO approx 8 miles. They said they and my brother saw a very similar object about 30 min before we did. Said they viewed with binoculars and the object had what appeared to be a tower on top with multiple squares of light. Had a large rectangular or possibly cylindrical light source on bottom that was source of most of the light. They described the object pushing out light more as if it was pushing out mist that was lit up by the object. [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Possible]

The object was a very prominent pure white orb with a contiguous white halo and a brighter circular center about one tenth its overall diameter. It was seen for about five minutes traveling through a clear dark sky prior to the moon rising. The object, including its halo, was about the diameter of the mid-day sun. It was traveling at a constant pace from West to East approximately 70 degrees up from the southwest horizon. The object appeared to be within the atmosphere. An approximation of its size would depend on its altitude but it was far larger than a commercial aircraft, satellite, surveillance balloon or meteorite. An approximation of its speed would also depend on its altitude. If it was flying at 30,000 feet I would approximate its speed as twice to three times that of a commercial jet or military transport. If it was in orbit it would be traveling about the speed of a satellite. The speed, altitude and trajectory did not change during our observation of its path. Additionally, there was a narrow diagonal, linear white light, separate but in close proximity to the orb, emerging upward at about 1:00 to 2:00 and about equal in length to the diameter of the orb including its halo. No sound was heard during its passage. The vertical linear "tail" appeared to move to a position of about 11:00 and separate from the orb slightly as the orb traveled toward the mountain horizon to the East. Remarkably, as the orb approached the mountain horizon in the East-Southeast a three dimensional conical vaporous light field emerged from the orb with its small base located at about the orb's 8:00 position. The conical field rapidly grew spreading downward and to the left lasting five to ten seconds before it rapidly dissipated. I would approximate that the maximum length of the cone was about 30 times the diameter of the orb and its diameter at the large end of the cone about twenty times the diameter of the orb.

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]

I was on my outside deck setting up my telescope. I do astrophotography. Facing S, I looked up and noticed this Fuzzy Soft White light moving E then SE for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Not one cloud in the sky. This is the second time I have seen the same object in the same or close location. The second time I had my wife as a witness. The first time I saw it, about 2 weeks prior, it only lasted about 5 seconds and disappeared. I couldn’t believe what I had just seen. The sky’s were totally clear except for the far E. The object appeared as though it was behind a cloud bank, maybe trying to cloak itself to keep from being identified. We have dozens of planes flying each night close to our house and this was no plane, not even close. It was about about the size of a dime or penny held at arms length.
