kirtland, NM
I heard a student say "what's that" looking up. I looked up and saw a shiny plane looking object. I didn't look like the planes I've seen before. I took my phone and scanned the sky till i saw a bright object. I took a picture. It looked just like a bright dot. When I enlarged the picture I could see what what looked like the tail and nose of a plane with a blue donut around the middle. No wings could be seen. when I looked up again the plane was gone. There were no sounds.

Sparks, NV
I saw an object high in the sky, that I thought was a slow moving meteor entering the atmosphere moving from the NW of my position toward the S-SE. It’s speed was roughly 1/4 that of a meteor. About halfway through my field of view, the object’s speed seemed to decrease, and then, the object turned toward the west, slowed further, and the turned back toward it’s original course, and traveled out of my view. That the object turned was a surprise, and is the reason I’m writing this report. I initially thought it was a meteor, as it started as a faint light, but, the object’s brightness increased, as though it was heating up. The color of the light was not white-hot like a meteor, but, more yellow, and the light was not from a sharp point, but rather seemed to have a haze around it. I did not notice any trail of smoke or debris following it. As it traveled, the brightness did not seem to fade significantly like a meteor does as it disintegrates. Very probably, there is a simple explanation, such as a guided missile test, but, I’ve not seen nor heard of one in this area. Nor do I know where to find information thereof.

Hartenbos/George (South Africa), WESTERN · South Africa
I saw an object take off from ground level, quite far from me. At first I thought it was a passenger jet, since it was taking off from the vicinity of George airport, as seen from my point of view. I kept looking, as I was intrigued by the sharp angle upwards of the flight path. We were watching the sunset from our balcony while I witnessed the aircraft gaining height. After a few moments, the flight path seemed totally strange and I pointed it out to my parents and my wife. My father fetched his binoculars. The object changed his direction from flying westwards towards Hartenbos, to flying in a northern direction. We all got a chance to have a look at the object through the binoculars. It had three wings around its main body, comparable to a rocket with three wings evenly around it. The whole aircraft was unmistakably rotating while it was flying further upwards. All four persons present saw the constant rotation of the object. The craft was yellow and shining in the light of the sunset. It kept getting smaller and smaller as it gained height in a northern direction until it was too small to observe. The whole sighting was more than ten minutes long. There was no sound audible.

Saw ships. Then started getting really bad head aches then started hearing them. Then seeing them then they came to my motel room and was communicating with me. Put visions in my head about my family and I that came true in less than a year. Orbs in my trailer around me a lot. Once a week or so. They can block people's vision and memory. I have lots more they won't leave me alone. I need help

Belleview, FL
Have been seeing these flickering multicolored star-like lights in this vicinity for years. My daughter got a telescope for Christmas and we finally have been able to zoom in on the lights. They appear in the shape of a donut with the center and four wings almost like cardinal points on a compass, lightless. However between these points are hundreds of small lights. The lights vary in color but are mostly white. The objects tend to hang out in the same area for hours when I notice them. Over the time period they are around, they flicker and slowly move up in down and back and forth within a zone in the sky. Eventually, they dim out and disappear. I am hoping to get video or pictures to add to this site soon. Tonight we saw four, we were able to get 3 in the telescope lens and they appear equidistant apart or close to it. They are not StarLInk satellites because they do not move across the sky in that manner and also there are less of them than in a StarLink group.

Roanoke, VA
I was sitting on my front porch. Weather was clear and warm for January. Was mid-afternoon. Can't remember the exact day. I heard a sound somewhat like a small private prop. plane, but different. I live just a mile from Roanoke-Blacksburg regional airport. I like aircraft, so I was interested to see what this odd-sounding plane was. I looked around, but didn't see anything at first. Then, I looked up and toward the south, and up a few thousand feet. I saw a craft that looked, as best I can describe, like an air launched cruise missile. A long, but not cylindrical fuselage with vertical and horizontal stabs at the rear. No wings. Maybe a bit larger than a private plane. It had a brown haze around it. The haze and no wings is what made me want to report this incident. Aircraft flying by before this at altitude were very clear with no haze. It was flying level in a south-south easterly direction. It's speed was unremarkable at the moment I saw it. My binoculars were just inside my front door, about eight feet from where I was sitting. I reached in and grabbed them to get a better look at the craft, but it had disappeared in those few seconds I had my back turned. I can't swear that the noise I heard was this craft, since I'm so close to the airport, but it did get me looking all around. I have looked at photos of our military drones, but none look like what I saw. The ALCM is the closest thing to what it looked like.

Tualatin, OR
Location: Seen from Tualatin, OR Approx 23-26 miles south of PDX Airport Timeframe & Details Midnight - big fireworks going on from some house below me. Then at video #1 12:07 (i'm facing straight to the East and the fireworks were fairly low in the sky - just above the houses below me). Decided to go out and take a video of what my friend was missing out on, to show her in am). Went out and ended up only seeing and filming the very last firework. Clicked the phone off, and then I saw a strange large amber glow up and over a little to the right..opened the phone and snapped a pic. (I wanted to video but opened in camera mode and snapped a pic instead. 12:08 - picture. What I saw was a lot bigger visually than what the camera shows. hurried and went to video, because it looked so different from anything I've seen in the sky. It seemed to be hovering - like a helicopter would, in my mind, like it was watching the fireworks. for some reason, i waved haha. then noticed it was now moving... that's when my nerves started freaking out. 12:08 - 1st video of object- while filming, i could tell it was slowly moving in my direction, not at me, but straight from East to west. I went to move to get a better angle to video, and my sandal was frozen to the ground, so after pulling a few times, I moved and started filming again. 12:09 - Continuing the filming of the 1st object I saw. (seemingly to slowly move West/SW and possibly climbing.) Notes: 1. While watching the video back, I noticed that there was a lower object shown at the end of the video, but didn't notice it then, because when I looked back to my left, to walk back to my back door, i saw 2 more coming from same direction as first, and they were also moving very slowly. 2. From the time I started videoing the first one, in my mind, I kept repeating, I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared. I was so filled with fear. After waving and noticing the first one slowly moving somewhat in my direction, I couldn't get the image of it coming over my house and then all the other scary thoughts that go with that were running through my head.. If any of them would've come towards my house, I wouldn't have been able to continue to video. I felt that scared! 3. Because it was so cold and my nerves were on high edge, I was shaking a lot and videos were not steady. *the object's movements were very slow and steady. 4. There was what seemed like a bright, big, close star or possible satellite?? from viewing that, it can help see the movement of the objects as it/they pass in front of it. 5. It was clear - with some possible haze - I couldn't tell for sure. but I could see the constellation Orion (so small compared to "bright star' low in the south sky, which was up and further over to the west from where all the objects seemed to just blink out. At first, I thought they faded into a possible haze I couldn’t see, but really it was as if they blinked in and out a few times then just vanished. 6. Weather - Cold/freezing, but no precipitation or wind that i noticed. 7. I can send a video of typical air traffic and a map of where I am, in comparison to PDX airport. Pattern of most air traffic I see, follows I5 direction, going South to North, to the airport or north to south, away. 12:10-Video of next 2 objects and notice a third separate one in the frame. I try to turn my phone sideways - you can still track them from the steady bright white light. 12:11 Continued filming of those 3 objects, but starting with my phone sideways. talking to myself - saying that it was as if they were watching the fireworks. the movements of two objects traveling together, seemed so weird to me. Like they are separate, and doing a little dance together. 12:12 - moving to try and capture them as they moved away West, then they just seemed to flicker out.) 12:12 - tried to focus on bright white spot, to see if I could find them again. nope 12:13 - Then Saw one more coming from my left (East). I think I whispered something like "Don't scare me, Oh my God, there's another one", and I was so scared, i stopped filming sky, and started walking to my back door to go inside. Then lifted my phone to continue to film the object, while standing next to my door. *The objects did not make any sound that I could hear. At all. (And I can often hear flight traffic from planes and helicopters). Went inside, and my heart was pounding out of my chest. seemed like my fear senses were on overdrive... I was so scared that I ran up to where my friend was staying and said in a loud voice, Sheryl, Sheryl, I think I just saw ufo's - Sheryl.... She didn't respond, so I didn't want wake her. so I called my friend in MT (12:28), who I was talking with a little after 11- Sharing the videos and writing "Dude, it was closer than the picture shows, like my heart is still racing. I was so scared to be out there, like I even backed up close to the door, missing some of it, I was literally that scared." Could not go to sleep - so worried that I'd have little visitors in my room.. started texting with my sister in Mt, around 3 who happened to just respond to my earlier happy new years text. I was so grateful to be texting with her, because I was still so scared and couldn't fall asleep. I ended up only sleeping maybe 1/2 after her text, when i then woke and ended up not being able to fall back asleep. Details I shared with her. *They were a lot closer than what my camera could catch. *So scared my heart didn't stop beating hard for at least 1/2 hour. *Seemed like they were just pulsating. no flicking on and off light patterns, like typical aircrafts at night. *No other color (white,red,green, etc) other than Amber-like glow - kind of pulsating. I'd say I'd compare it to staring at a part of a candle flame. *"Moving going from east to west and I swear they seemed to be hovering around my area, before slowly moving off. I was so scared. and then they just disappeared one after the other. After moving towards West, They just kind of flickered out of sight. *Hard to tell, but it definitely seemed like some sort of vehicle - bigger than a helicopter. appeared to be between a circle and triangle, maybe Triangle with more rounded corners . possibly the amber light was deeper in color in the area under the edges. The whole bottom was this candle amber like and didn't seem like it stayed solid - color in movement like a candle would or pulsating somehow. *Seemed like they were watching the fireworks. Moved a lot steadier than what my camera captured. they kind of sometimes flicked in and out. It was so scary and amazing at the same time. The first couple seemed to literally be hovering for a while, before slowly traveling to the west. *My cat was so freaked out that I found her hiding under my bed. could be because of the fireworks, but when i finally got her out from under there, she stayed on my chest for at least an hour. (usually just sleeps on the end of my bed), and when she got up, she still laid close by my side. She was acting off all night and very skittish. I did not sleep - so scared. I wish my phone could’ve captured what my eyes saw. 1/1 11:20am Text with My uncle who is retired, but flew fighter jets, then flew for other sec of govt, then i think around 30 yrs commercial... What I wrote to him, and then his response. "I saw them hovering then moving slowly to the right, They were so much closer and larger than what seems in this video. I noticed them after watching a firework in the sky for New Year Eve. I look a little to the right and bam saw the hovering and then moving slowly to the west. He asked if the white dot was a plane - No, I think it was a low bright star (but looked bigger and closer than other stars and Orion that i could see in the sky. maybe it was close bright satalight? White dot - no movement, has slight sparkle)- you can use it to see how slow they're moving and how they move past it. Honestly as they moved to the west and maybe a little higher, they just van

The sun looked very odd to me. To shimmery and to flummery. So I took a picture the when I got home I filtered out the brightness. It's plain as day. I have the original and the filtered photos. I will send the original and the filtered.

Clear sunny sky, after a plane past above me, I spotted a white dot, then three more closely in triangle form then three moved to line up straight. They were all moving slowly to west direction. The distance between them were not consistent; sometimes one got very close to another. I lost them when I tried to take a photo. Moments later I spotted three moving to east. One had dark rectangular shape on both sides but soon they become invincible. This is when I started recording with my iPhone. They moved faster in distance and disappeared. Zoom in on the right side of my video. You will see white dots blinking before disappeared.

Columbus, OH
Around 6:35 PM as I got in to my car leaving Men's Warehouse at Easton Mall in Columbus, I noticed multiple bright red lights (approx 20 total) moving across the sky coming from the West, moving Southeast. I hung up with my mother whom I was talking to when I noticed the lights and starting filming at 6:39 PM. They were moving at a moderate pace and appeared to be moving in the same direction. A few of them were clustered in triangle shapes and one of them came close overhead but was not illuminated. The shape was about 50 feet above me, it was a dark gray oval and made no sound, my camera could still pick it up against the dark sky. My original video was too big so I had to lower rez to 185 MB, I have a 452 MB version if needed. I looked to see if there were any holiday festivals or light shows tonight and was not able to find anything in my area. Found out Chinese New Year isn't until mid Feb 2022 and the oval shape seemed inconsistent with Chinese lanterns.

I was playing with my friends and we suddenly noticed something in the sky quite far above. There was a shrill sound for a matter of few seconds. Most thought it to be a jet aircraft or a shooting star but I thought it something else. Then as we looked carefully we saw as if something like a hockey stick was upside down and it was showing oscillatory movement. Suddenly the two crafts of the same sort collided and a streak of light was emitted. Then we all thought it was a UFO. We were amazed and the crafts were seperate for around 20 minutes. Suddenly they collided and the light streak started moving straight towards the North Eastern Direction continuosly for around another half an hour and it was of the same size quite unlike the common thing that we know. Though we all understood that it was going far however the size of the light streak didn't decrease. Suddenly, in an absurd way again the light disappeared and nothing else was seen. We had no mobiles or cameras then and we were alone. So we donot have a footage or picture of the craft. Sorry for that but a hand drawn diagram of the UFO is provided below.

I work security at a shipyard with navy ships and noticed a light in the sky around 0440. Another worker then noticed it and said he didn’t know what it was. I then started recording it. My co worker had the binoculars and you can hear him explaining the color changes. The craft hovered for a min and then went east towards the ships. The UAP then just zoomed off and we could not locate it again.

Rosendale, NY
I was out with my dog out back of the house when the object caught my notice. I live in a heavily wooded area off a county road, and it was pretty dark that night, even though there was a half moon. I took the dog in and went out on the porch and videotaped the object. For most of the video, there's only one object, but towards the end, another one becomes visible nearby--it may or may not have been generated by the principle object. It blinked constantly, and changed color--white/red/white/red, but not always consistently, or so it seemed. At first, I thought it might be an aircraft, but it made no noise, at least none I could hear from my vantage point. Eventually it moved off below the tree line and out of my line of sight, but it took a good long while for that to happen. When I got inside, I expanded the image and was surprised when it looked very much--I know this will sound funny, but I'm serious--a circular nipple with four lines set at regular intervals radiating from the edges, but stopping short of the center circle. The image is grainy, but distinct enough to show at least that much detail. Since that night, I saw it briefly a few nights ago, but it was low on the horizon and disappeared below the treeline before I could take another video. I sent the video to a friend of mine who's an experience pilot, and he couldn't identify it. At times it appears that the object changes direction very quickly and abruptly.

I'm a long haul truck driver. I got a short load that picked up in Tracy California and delivered in Sparks Nevada. Driving on interstate 80 eastbound at 2057 the sky was clear on Thursday December 9th 2021, I saw an object to my right which would be due south of Cisco Grove towards Monumental Ridge. It was 6 lights amber to milky white in color in the shape of the number 3 if you were to turn the number 3 clockwise a little and have it look like an odd W. The lights were peculiar in that they were reaching towards the tops of the trees but the lights never touched the tops of the trees nor did they illuminate them even though the object and lights were only about 50 feet above the trees. I saw this object and lights for all of 7 to 9 seconds then the object and lights both slowly faded out once they did a cherry kool-aid or stop light color light brightly lit the forrest floor the trees were dark but behind the trees it was brightly lit,an intense red colored light. I was still driving and could not see that side of the mountain anymore so I have no idea how long the red light lasted.

This guy became my nemesis for a few months. The craft is red and tomato shaped, single seater, open cockpit. It has yellow lights emitting from within. A green alien can be seen piloting it as I hide under a tree in my front yard. He has become aggressive, even brushing against the tree limbs trying to get me. As he moves his hands a as the controls, 2 to 4 beeps are emitted before the craft responds to his imputs. I filmed him many times perusing me. He later returned with a larger craft with an overhead wing. After that he returned with other aliens on the outside. Both red and green I have some pretty close up videos of this guy coming after me, looking right at me Site won’t let me upload videos [NUFORC annotation: Hoax - Probable]

Brunswick, NY
Shortly after 12:30 in the afternoon, I had gotten out of my parked car and happened to glance to my left, when I caught sight of a pure white trapezoid-shaped object just above the top of an adjacent portion of the building that was oriented SE-NW to right off from Hoosick Rd. I was at the SE end. The object appeared to be perfectly still within fast-moving low overcast flowing in from the south (left to right in the photo) that sometimes broke up enough for just a few seconds to enable it to be seen, thus popping in and out of view. It appeared to be slightly semitransparent and seemed two-dimensional. It was clearly trapezoid-shaped with straight edges and was about the size a medium-sized jet airplane might appear viewed from a about a mile away and a mile in altitude. I believe the object was either within the upper portion of the cloud deck or at some height above it. Immediately when I saw it, I shifted my head about to make sure it wasn’t a spot or reflection on my glasses I was seeing. But then I was sure it was there when it popped in and out of view. The sighting lasted about 10 seconds, and I waited another couple of minutes to see if it would appear again so I could snap a picture, but the overcast had thickened too much. The object was almost due west and about 15 or 20 degrees above the horizon. It was a slightly wide trapezoid; all straight edges with parallel top and bottom angled slightly down and right; the right edge at about a 90-degree angle to that, and the left edge angled downward to the left at about 135/45-degree angles. Because it seemed two-dimensional, it was as if I was seeing it head on. My reaction to this event was that as soon I saw it, I was sure it was nothing conventional, as it was large enough and clear enough to be interpreted with no doubt. I’ve included a photo of the view from my vantage point, taken about an hour after I spotted the object. It was almost exactly in the center of the image…just above the top of the building. I’ve also provided a drawing of the outline of the object as I saw it.

There was one craft at first moving extremely fast up down then zigzagging but staying in the same area, then we noticed more showing up till there was a total of twelve. All would stay still then start moving all over. They where at different altitudes. They remained for hours.

The "line of lights" contained multiple bright dots (I estimate at least a dozen, maybe multiple dozens. It was all white light. It was steady (not pulsating). It was straight (not curved, nor fanned-out.). It seemed to have rays of light within it (i.e. it wasn't all one solid ray of the same brightness or density). It had a beginning and an end, though I couldn't estimate the length because I could not know it's distance (if it was at jet cruise altitude around 30k feet, then I'd estimate it's length at five or six 747 airliners placed end-to-end). I couldn't watch it for too long because I was stopped in the travel lane and had to worry about any cars that might come by, although no vehicles came near me). It did not appear to be moving. It did not fan out at any angle - all rays of light within it seemed parallel. There was no sound or strange feeling associated with it, although I wish I'd have been looking up there earlier, as I have a feeling it was just hanging up there for a long time, though I can't be certain. There was no movement of the "line of light", and I didn't see movement of the bright dots within it. This is a very rural area. No tall buildings. The angle I was looking up in the sky there was ZERO chance that I was looking at Christmas lights or any land-based lights. I was looking at a very bright star which was just to the left of this "line of lights" This is near the Maine coast and this may have been over the ocean (I was looking south/south-east toward the ocean). It was definitely not an aircraft chem trail, nor was it any conventional terrestrial aircraft at all (I'm former US Navy and I am used to observing objects and describing them accurately & comparing them to known military or civilian air or water craft). I saw this line of lights for about a minute, and then suddenly, after I once again turned my gaze toward the road to check for traffic, I looked back and it was gone. The actual time was about 6:45 pm EST. I've never seen anything so distinct and unusual as this before, and this is the first time I've reported any "UFO". [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

So I'm in my back yard. There is a sweet 16 going on in my neighbors backyard. I don't take notice of their excitement at first because they're talking about a centipede or Santa. Then my sister in law and her friend who are out there too start saying woah what is that?! And with my interest stirred I looked up and saw what was a long sting of lights in the sky moving across the sky at the same speed and length apart (which indicates to me that it is a large aircraft of some type- too large for us humans). By the time I got my phone out it started to disappear one light at a time from right to left. My sister in law did get a picture of it luckily. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

I'm a UPS Driver. Delivering in this area, my helper and I were on our way back to the truck. This area has no light pollution, the sky is incredibly clear. She says, "Omg do you see that?" And I look up and just kept saying "WTF" over and over. Perfect line of 20-30 red dots, speeding up and slowing down overlapping each other like geese in a flock like I said in the summary. Whatever it/they were, they were ascending, approximately a 40 degree angle from our position. While continuing the ascent speeding up and slowing down overlapping one by one dimmed and vanished as if getting too far up to see anymore. The positions in the line were not graduated. I worked in aviation as an active duty Marine and I've never seen anything like it, its notable that there was no sound. The only way I can describe the speed is like the speed of an F-18 in burn, but the massive drops in speed to return to the rest of line's speed was shocking. Unidentified fliers to me, but I'm not familiar with the F-35 capabilities, could have been some training op? The fading out was turning off burn? Shrugs, but I find it ridiculously unlikely for that many to be in one place. The spread of this line in the sky was about the size of an outstretched man's hand, pinky to thumb. Accounting for whatever altitude these things were, that's a massive distance to be doing those maneuvers over. All we could say to each other when they all disappeared was, "Noones going to believe us." I tried to get it on video as we witnessed it over about 30 seconds, cell cam wouldn't pick up the light. Probably just one of those things 2 people saw and will never have an answer for.

Long Shaped object that had lights underneath no sound could be heard at all. Was headed east then turned North east. Then the object begin to fade out or disappear from the font to the back until it was completely gone or invisible. This all happened in a matter of 2 to 3 minutes. Unfortunately I have no images of this event. It could have possibly been shaped like the image I uploaded but it had what appeared to be windows underneath. It was against a dark sky and all you could really see was the light from the windows underneath. These were not overly bright lights just amber looking lights but visible from the ground at night.
