Ugh. 500PM. Sitting on Bach deck. Two clouds in the sky. Blue sky. Crystal clear. The one small cloud, NE sky, had what looked like a bright star. As the cloud moved....So did this thing... lol VERY BRIGHT.. Skymaster Binoculars were brought out. So. The object was cigar/cylinder shaped, but it was changing colors. Reflecting off the sun, or lights, I'm not sure, but colors changed, none the less. At one point, it did seem to have a cross appearance, but who knows. My wife observed as well. With both naked eye...and the binoculars.... As the cloud moved west, so did this thing...clouds moved out of site. As did it! Grrrrrrrrr Definitely not a weather balloon or drone. 100 percent positive. Almost as it moved within that cloud on purpose... like a cover....being covert.... Again.... Sky is a blue as the ocean. Literally 1 percent cloud cover... Hate not knowing......

I was standing outside of the trailer smoking a cigarette. I heard a helicopter lying around. I walked out from under the overhang of my trailer to look. It seemed to be following something because of the way it was flying. it would go to one spot, stand still for a minute, and then go to another spot. I noticed that it had to be following something flying in that way. I figured that it was chasing a car, but I happen to look up and across in the opposite direction of the helicopter. That is when I saw long cigar shape white or light-colored things flying in the sky. At first, I thought maybe it's Birds. then, I thought of drones but they had to have been huge because they were very high in the sky. They made no noiser. That is when they floated from one side of the Horizon across the sky the other side of the Horizon and just disappeared over the tops of the trees. I was watching while they were in a straight line at first. Then two went instead of one right in front of the other two, but perfect! ly spaced, flew in front of the other two but were offset exactly from the other two. Flying across the sky, they then started going one in front of the other in a diagonal line and they were in perfect format and perfectly in sync with each other. That is when I thought to myself "I'm going to report this."and That's when the helicopter followed them in the same direction. Then, It was over. I heard the helicopter for about 20 minutes longer, I did not see neither the UFOs or the Helicopter.

The best way to describe the shape of the object would be analogous of a flying submarine or plausibly a blimp. It was reasonably larger than a submarine but the overall shape is still fairly unique. It was semi translucent with a dark gray or black like color. It stayed very close to or within clouds that surrounded it, possibly resulting in the appearance of being translucent, however exposed portions still seemed to have observable characteristics of cloaking or some other technology to conceal it to some degree. It maintained shape as it was very rigid. It did not transform or alter form like the surrounding clouds. It was completely silent and has no apparent means of propulsion, lift, or other modern flight characteristics. Surrounding clouds were very still yet this object hovered in and out of view, elevated and descended by hundreds of feet, moved south by a few thousand feet, and then disappeared into the clouds and dense mist like clouds. Everything else in the sky was a pure white cloud. I’ve seen very similar objects being reported in the past and two similar object recorded outside the window of airplanes, one recent video and one from the 50s or 60s on standard film. The object was located a few hundred feet east of my house heading southbound.

Storrs, CT
It had just rained and the clouds were gray and full. I decided to take a short video of the cloud formations for a Tik-Tok video. I filmed the clouds for a few second then went home. I was walking from my class at Uconn. I forgot about the video until the next morning. When I watched it I noticed a craft flying through my scene so rapidly and when I enlarged it the boxy shape looked like nothing I’d ever seen before. I noticed it hovered for a brief second then sped into the clouds and disappeared. When I slowed down the footage it was still moving very fast but I could clearly see it stopped in mid-air for a fraction of a second then continued. I showed it to a pilot from Delta that I knew and he said it truly looked like something not from this world so I decided to report it. The shape looked cigar like however when enlarged and pixelated it seemed to have giant rectangular wings, an elongated nose with a dark patch which looked like a pilots window and ! a very short tail that could barely be detected. I did not see it with my naked eye or notice it however when I watched the footage and especially when I slowed it down there was a strange sound that was in the background, almost like a zoom and a whoosh that could e been used on a sound track to indicate fast flight. There was no sonic boom or anything detected on the ground from the sidewalk. I was in the center of Storrs Center near CVS pharmacy.

Craft appeared over an open pasture Ran parallel with st rd 70 Heading same direction as I, west. Running parallel about 1:2 mile south of 70.Tan or light brownish color No wings no power that youncould see Was just running about 80-90 mph while I was trying to keep looking at on this busy two lane. Watched in awe for couple minutes and just as in appeared, It dissapeared, was just getting my phone out of pocket when it vanished in a second. Clear view, Think it was messing with me a little! No lights couse it was fully light of day

I was observing the NE sky and observed a bright object appear that was clearly not part of the Big Dipper, Little Dipper and Draco constellations. Not to mention it was too early to start seeing any of those stars. The object was as bright as Venus would be at that time of day, but it was moving in a south westerly direction. The movements of the object were slightly erratic and it appeared to speed up and slow down. After watching this object for a couple minutes, I concluded it was not a plant, star, or satellite, so I hastily set up my Celestron telescope and was able to view the object for about 10 seconds before it disappeared. The object had an orange hue, was roughly cigar shaped and one end darker than the other. The interesting part is that there was another, much smaller object moving with the main object. The smaller object was circular in shape and had the same orange hue. Here is the interesting part... The objects were connected. I could see w! hat appeared to be a rigid rod connecting the two objects, the smaller object was definitely tethered to the larger object. The rod shaped object had the same orange hue. How they moved together is what blew my mind. The larger object controlled the smaller object in a manner much like a person would do if they were walking and playing with a yo-yo at the same time. Specifically, the smaller object appeared to swing forward and alongside the larger object, in an arc, until it was in front. As soon as the smaller object reached the front, it would start swinging backward, following the same arc until it was behind the larger object. As soon as it reached the back, it would swing back forward. Another way to illustrate this motion is that it was like how pendulum swings relative to the clock face on a grandfather clock, but with an arc of 180 degrees instead of 20 or 30 degrees. I watched this cycle for several iterations before it disappeared. I wish I had a camera connecte! d to my telescope because this would have been amazing footage! . This w as definitely NOT the SpaceX satellite train. I am an experienced star gazer/amateur astronomer.

Warrington, PA
I was driving on Almshouse Rd. in Warrington heading towards Route 611. I passed by a development to my left that is before the old Redner’s Supermarket. This development was on a hill and was directly behind Redner’s. I happened to look in my rear view and saw what looked like a dark gray plane that was directly on top of a house. It looked like it landed on its roof. This was a ufo that had black windows and looked like a plane with its lights off. There was no sound anywhere and I remember saying to myself,”that’s weird”.I remember time had stopped and everything was in slow motion when I saw it. I don’t know if I entered some sort of space-time warp but once I passed the area by about a minute and half, time went back to normal. I have seen numerous UFOs in that area. The UFOs I have seen are definitely bending time and space and I’m incredibly lucky and blessed to see them. I know I wasn’t the only one to have seen that particular UFO parked on top of a house, so I’m entering this UFO report in the event someone else or many people saw what I saw. Thank you!

Walked out and in the middle of the day my wife and I saw a black line like object low in the sky and very clear to see. It was silent. When we around a tree and I said aloud "I see it Lord", and it was gone. She was also reaching for her camera, it seemmed like it knew we saw it and were going to take a picture.

I was sitting on a Hotel Balcony just after sunset. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the ocean. Noticed the object traveling very quickly from east to west. The few clouds in the sky were still slightly orange which is why I was able to see it. The light slightly bends around the tic tac shaped object, like a diffused glow from the orange in the sky. The object was moving faster than anything I have ever seen and was clearly tic-tac shaped. I've never seen anything like it and was extremely skeptical prior to this experience.

Malibu, CA
This is a video I took in Malibu, CA at 6:13pm on Latigo beach. I was looking south, toward LAX. Planes are in the area very often but this stuck out because it looked very different. The object never showed any outlandish movement which made me think it's something like a satellite, but I read that satellites often flicker which I didn’t see at all. I kept zooming in and out hoping the video would show the high speed that this object was traveling. Toward the end a plane passes by and I kept them both in frame to compare speeds. While they seemed to be moving at a similar rate of speed, the object was at a substantially higher elevation well above all the clouds making me believe it is traveling extremely fast. I didn't think it was a plane because I couldn't see wings or anything dark. It was just a white perfectly cigar shaped object cruising by and never flickered. It never tilted or anything mid flight and I also never saw it disappear before my eyes, it just kept going until it was out of view. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Possible]

On the date and time stated in report details a severe thunderstorm was occuring. To share the event I shot several videos of the event. Upon sharing them with my wife on 08/15/20 we witnessed the craft traveling at a high rate of speed against the high winds of the storm. It was moving from west to east well above the tree line. It was hard to make out in the rain but made no noise. This is first time we have ever witnessed anything like this and was quite suprising to see in a video of a storm.

My husband and I were out on our patio looking at the stars when I noticed this object that was moving from the west the lights were blinking extremely fast almost like strobe lights, we watched this object zig zag extremely fast a couple of times, then hover and finally move slowly towards the east.

I was walking my dog very close to Liverpool john Lennon airport on the 10th of August 2020. I remember it was so strange as there was lots of lightning but absolutely no thunder, I felt so weird very humid and still. The lightning seemed to continue to flash in the same area of sky over and over, i decided to take a couple of snaps with my phone before I headed home. It was only when I looked at the photos I noticed something in the sky. Anyway that’s it just a split second it must of been going at some rate of speed.

Nutley, NJ
As I was viewing the planet Jupiter at night with a high-power binocular (25x100), a bright cigar-shaped object shot upwards very quickly to the left of Jupiter. Jupiter was at about 45 degrees above the horizon at the moment it happened. I assume that the unidentified object was going up into space. The binocular was on a steady tripod that my husband had set up.

At first it appeared to be sunlight reflecting off the underside of an airplane. In a second I saw that there were no wings and brought it to the attention of my companion who described the same. The craft seemed to be the hight of a passenger jet and traveling the right speed but after observing it for fifteen to twenty seconds, it vanished in a clear blue sky. Cigar shaped. The front and back were luminescent with a short non luminescent space in the middle.

Hermiston, OR
At 4:39 am, I was walking around the paved trail in Riverfront Park on 23rd St in Hermiston, Oregon. It was still mostly dark but dawn was coloring the eastern horizon. I was rounding the extreme north side of the park trail, and happened to look up between the trees which framed the sky. My view into the sky at this point is facing west, northwest. The weather was clear, mid fifties and almost still wind. I saw a long lighted cigar shape floating silently from the west moving toward the east, northeast. It was completely silent. I could hear traffic from the freeways that the craft would have passed directly over. The long side of the cigar shape had lights running the length. These appeared to be square shaped, and for a moment I thought they may be windows. As it passed by, I noted that the lights changed, some brightness running up or down the length. I could not see any fixed interval. The lights were all white. I saw no bulges or projections either top or bottom of the lights. There was a darkish metal greyish silver cast to the edges of the cigar. I was hoping that as it passed by toward the increasing brightness of the dawn, that jt would silouette the shape. But as it passed toward the east, the leading end of the cigar angled away from me and the lights were no longer visible. The end view as it floated away was of something greyish matte metal color about the size of the end of a round broom handle. The object appeared to be floating. The object had no visible means of propulsion. The object left no trail and there was no distortion visible around it. No effects were visible below on the ground it passed over.

Scappoose, OR
In the early morning hours on Friday, August 7th of 2020, I witnessed something truly amazing. Approximately 4:30am, I awoke from falling asleep on the couch as I often do from working late hours. I got up and went over to the dining room window to close it when I looked up and noticed a bright light in the sky. I thought to myself, is that the comet? But I quickly realized it was an aircraft as I noticed it’s lights flashing and I could hear it’s familiar sound. As the plane flew over and disappeared, I looked up to the left and to my utter amazement and surprise, I saw a huge object appear. The sky was still dark but was starting to get that early morning glow just before the sun starts to rise. I said to myself, what the hell is that? With my cell phone in hand I quickly went out to the balcony and tried to take a video of the slowly moving object, but in my haste of trying to blow up the craft’s image, I very regrettably kept losing it in my camera view. I went back inside to the dining room window and tried to capture it there but it went behind a huge tree. It was then that I noticed my boyfriend, standing behind me and he stated, “Honey, what are you doing?” “I’m looking at this thing in the sky,” I replied. This large craft finally made its way out from behind the tree, and we were able to witness what I was seeing. I just stared at it in utter amazement, wondering what in the world it could be. It was gigantic, long and cigar shaped. This craft had a silver like appearance. There were no lights. It made no sound, whatsoever. We just stood there in silence as this incredible thing glided across the sky for about 2-3 minutes, until it went behind a large hazy cloud. We both turned to each other and exclaimed, “I think we just saw a UFO!” I have always been very interested in the paranormal, UFO’s, the unexplained phenomena that lingers all around us since a very young age after having several experiences myself that continue to happen to this day. My boyfriend enthusiastically shares my interest and we watch countless programs on these subjects. But I never had a UFO encounter before and I often wondered what it would be like and how I would feel at that moment, always believing that I would be shaking with terror. Well, I finally got my moment and I can honestly say that I was not scared in the least. I was extremely calm and awestruck, and I had a big smile on my face knowing deep in my soul that what we just witnessed was true and very real. We saw a UFO.

I went outside around 4:45 am a bright light in the sky caught my eye. At first I thought thought it was a comet but realized it was a solid object moving across the sky. It was a cigar shaped tube slowly moving east. I ran back in woke my wife up we ran out and both watched this object go slowly east then slowly east and slow down and turn north over Mt. Rainier. This craft made not noise and was very large. I cannot be the only one to see this ufo.the sky was absolutely clear and I ould see the stars behind this ufo.
