Driving by myself from beechwood drive in the same neighborhood made a right driving down longleaf drive as I saw the lights thinking it could be from the cell tower close in the video as I got closer I realized it was not from it . Then assumed it was from a airplane but also airplanes are In the distant behind flying so could not be. Weather was very calm that night no rain no clouds . The objects moved upwards and then I followed to get closer to longleaf and was quiet . As I got closer to record more the objects aligned itself as some disappeared and 4 of them aligned evenly side by side at the same time a house with a dog in the back I was around was barking crazy . I then decided to drive to the road I believe it was on to see if there where houses or apartments it could of been humans I assumed . Then once I drove to the sight I realized there was nothing but a grass field above where the sighting was in the distant.

Los Angeles, CA
I’m a retired Los Angeles police officer… on May 13th, 2023 something very unusual happened while I was employed by a commercial film production Co. (Filming a new car commercial when something that I can not fully explain that was happening above me in the sky. For the past twenty-eight years (after retiring from the LAPD) I’ve been fortunate enough to have been allowed to work in full LAPD uniform (with the police Department approval of course) on hundreds of production shoots in the streets of L.A., and for the most part all have been mostly uneventful… until this below happened. Yesterday while filming a Chevrolet car shoot in the streets of Los Angeles something caught my eye above me in the sky… it appeared to be a silver colored round sphere that was flashing a bright white high intensity light on an off in the sky above me I’d estimate around fifteen-hundred up. Upon initially seeing it I thought it was a drone… then to my amazement it instantly shape shifted from a round metallic sphere into a flat lateral object, that would occasionally start spinning at high speed on it’s axis, after which it moved laterally from left to right at high speed, then reforming back into it’s previous metallic sphere form, and then repeating the whole sequence again and again as it randomly moved about the sky high above Los Angeles. I was so dumbfounded and taken back as to what I was seeing that I had forgotten to use my Apple Iphone to video it. Now to my dismay this object then vanished—-I desperately began to search the sky for the next fifteen-minutes in order to a picture of it—I was ready this time—then just before giving up I noticed a very bright pinpoint of light extremely high in the crystal clear sky. Now with IPhone in hand I snapped a picture of the entire skyscrape in front of me. After studying the picture for a few minutes I became disappointed when I didn’t see anything out of the unusual at first, that is. As an afterthought I started magnifying the field of view of the photograph with two of my fingers and then it happened—to my astonishment I saw in my picture… I had indeed captured a photograph of this amazing unknown metallic (Orb). My picture clearly shows an inanimate object high in the sky! It also shows the structure of the sphere and under high magnification. The structural definition especially along the bottom of this object IE: two darken ports on either sides of the bottom with a horizontal darken indentation running vertically between the two darken ports on either side. Then—it hit me—a solid structural sphere (Ball) cannot just sit still high in the sky… everyone knows that, the law of physics tells us that, it’s impossible for a round solid object to just sit stationary in the sky with out rotors or propulsion of some kind. I wanted to quickly get my iPhone out of my pocket to video what I was seeing, but I was unable to do this because at the time I was standing moving traffic at the time directing traffic (unsafe to do that). I was very lucky though just to get a still picture of it though as you can see.

Large red orb light UAP, moving very fast for its size with NO sound… seemed to emit a light “ shroud” around it as seen In video. Covered the distance of two houses only 40 yards away from my position within seconds. Disappeared after breaching other side of tree. Cannot upload video bc it exceeds the maximum size allowed on website

At around 10 at night, I stepped out of my backdoor, facing the Guyandotte River. I looked up and saw the UFO(s). Three large red/orange orbs or "fireballs" in triangular formation, with what looked like fire dancing between the three well defined orbs. The UFO was at the level of the treetops on the mountain facing my home, far below the clouds. I could not see any surface (ex such as the surface of a craft or crafts) connecting the lights. It flew slowly overhead, making no noise. I thought to myself that it was very strange, and then the UFO made a perfect 90 degree left turn and faded away. There was no sound or trail of object. There is zero possibility this was a conventional aircraft such as a plane or a helicopter. Again it made no noise, and I was close enough that I would have seen and heard the shape of the hypothetical plane or helicopter. I remember seeing the stars in the night sky, this object was certainly not a star. It could not have been a meteor as there was no trail and the object made a perfect L shaped turn. I was not under the influence of any substances, nor do I suffer from hallucinations. I was wide awake, this was not a dream. I included a digital drawing of the object, as well as the exact direction I was facing when I saw it. I hope this can be of some help. I would have reported sooner, but I tried to rationalize all the possibilities and nothing makes sense. I apologize that I can't provide the exact date and time, but I know it was the week of May 8th 2023. Thank you

Took my granddaughter to the local park to let her play on the equipment and push her on the swings. While there, notice this bright light in the sky and thought it was strange because there was no noise emitted from it. As it came closer to us I took a video. The photos I have attached are enlarged from the video. I'm very curious as to what this object is. Respectfully, Senator ((name deleted)) (retired)

So as I was on the deck I saw lights coming towards me in the woods. Then saw it come right on the other side of the street between two house hovering just above the houses. I panicked and called my dad since no one knew I tried contacting something through remote viewing. Then took video and photos of what I saw. Nothing can explain the movement of this craft. Also I could feel a magnetic field pulsating.

I got my cellphone and videoed for two minutes at 8x magnification. But it was out there for several hours. A friend on FB said she saw it, too. Was not traveling in a straight line like the space station. It was jumping back and forth, up and down. It was a bright orb with something in the center. It was not a spotlight. One small plane flew past, but I don't know if they saw it. Your site says my video is too big to upload. I posted it on FB. It won't upload my photo.Just wondering what it might be.

I noticed 2 bright orange/red lights from my kitchen window. I immediately ran outside and watched these objects in the night sky. They seemed to be flying together and at first we thought they could be some sort of lanterns because of the way they seemingly floated up and down but then I watched as they changed colors from orange, red and a whitish color and they seemed to change into different shapes. They went from seemingly floating to taking off like aircraft. Moments after watching them disappear I seen a conventional aircraft seeming to pursue it and fly in the direction of the orbs. Not just one conventional aircraft follow the orbs but 3. All within a minute apart from each other. We live in a remote area and seeing aircraft is unusual in itself. But I am certain the 3 aircraft were in pursuit of the orbs. All while this was happening every dog in the neighborhood seemed to be barking like crazy. The quick video I took of the event does no justice to what it looked like through our eyesight. In the video you can't tell just how bright these objects were!

I have been processing that this contact has been ongoing over one year which resulted into face to face contact. Most of this started with electronic interference in my phone and laptop, other unexplainable phenomenon. I heard a sound outside my bedroom window, it sounded like a bird, or clicking noise. I went outside and looked up and saw a hundred or more orbs floating. I called to them, as I was somehow unsurprised due to the ongoing strange events. I was frightened because anyone would be. But I held composure and called to one, it flew down nearer to me, but took a while. I spoke to it and said I was going to get in my car and go somewhere there would be more room. I drove to the pier and lighthouse, I did see a few fishermen on the dock, but no other witnesses at the lighthouse where they reappeared, then, there were so many more. And one green, oblong looking plasma - towering, it was probably 20 feet high. I saw it flying from the back of the orbs and they let it through to come closer to me. I spoke to them, and asked them to come closer. It took a while, but they did come and I was around 20 feet from the green one. It looked lumpy or asymmetrical. Not uniform light, like the white orbs. That's because it had overlapping parts. It unfolded. I said, "I'm Dana" and pointed to myself. This is where I get emotional. During the time I was having electronic events on my computer, where it would shut off late at night, or I'd have trouble using it - I was producing art, as an artist and writer. I wrote a poem about my childhood and created a lovely piece of art to go with it. This light being, after I said, "I'm Dana" - actually shapeshifted into a character I described as myself as a child per the poem, in color and shape. As if to say, "Yes, Dana, we know you" You all must know this is going on. I'm struggling emotionally as this is powerful in someone's life. Are there any support groups or therapists who deal with helping someone process this kind of contact? This has been a good experience, and I consider them loving, and peaceful. But I feel isolated and would love some support from others who have maybe gone through this. After this contact, all the electronic phenomenon stopped. What next? Does anyone know what happens next? It doesn't feel like it's over. [NUFORC annotation: Hoax - Possible]

A flash of light caught my eye at 0130. I continued to look and it (they) appeared again. A small, moving dot will suddenly appear and become a really, really bright glowing traveling orb/light. Usually moving with another one or more brightly appearing before vanishing. I have observed the night skies since the early eighties, I am familiar with all the manmade objects and/or sun light reflecting on high objects during the night, meteors, and how moving clouds/fog and moon light create illusions but this (these) I cannot explain. Been observing this each morning as the weather permits since May 1, 2023. Seen several fascinating meteors during this time but my attention has been on the swarm. I have many pics and vids that may or may not help compare. Hope they do. Nevertheless, I am dedicated to find the explanation so my investigation has just begun. With the many similar reports of this it seems like there would be some stupid explanation already .ie weather balloons, ball lightning or some crap. Thanks so much for this site as it is a step in the right direction. Well, i can only upload pics, no vids. They are in order.

I pulled over to take a video of a bright red-orange light in the sky- a star was next to it & the light was so bright and red as if it were close to the same size. (Attached is the video, the light was so bright in the video it shows as white. Zooming in you can see the reddish flickering aura.) I got home and told my dad to come outside because it was sitting in the same spot hovering. It came from south-west to north-east. It went over the star Corona Borealis & ascended up before stopping and hovering around 5-10 minutes. We called our neighbor out and it appeared to dance and move around the star, rarely moving straight. Our neighbor’s wife & daughter came outside to see. It then started on a southern direction ascending up- went between stars Nekkar & Seginus of the constellation Boötes. Hovered between (Nekkar & Seginus) at least 5 min- During this we saw at least 2 tiny orbs crossing the sky, one went south & a minute later we saw one go north- from each side of constellation Boötes. The orb of light(?) went from the middle of the 2 stars (Nekkar & Seginus), north toward the end of Big Dipper’s handle. It then went east until it faded out of sight.

I was out walking my dog and in the corner of my eye I saw an orange glowing orb jet across the sky (no sound) at an incredible speed. Once I turned my head and made full eye contact with it, it quickly passed and got obstructed by the building adjacent to me. I have seen drones before in the area that people like to fly, I can say with much certainty this was not a drone of any kind I am aware of since the glow was spherical and the rate of speed it moved was way too fast. I am unsure of the altitude since it happened so quickly, but I would imagine it is in the range of 200-400 feet (im no expert on prediction of altitude)

A/C flying at approximately 36,000FT reported seeing approx. 5 orbs moving vertically and horizontally. They would get very bright than dim back down again. The pilot of the A/C reported they had video. They were given the website address to make a report as well.

I was having a fire for my kids and other kids in the neighborhood when I looked up and saw 4 moving stars horizontally in a line. The top one would vanish and a new one appeared at the bottom. Then there were 2 and then they dissapeared. I said look, do you guys see that. They did. All of us saw it. I yelled for my brother to come look, at that time my daughter grabbed my phone and shot the video. Only 2 lights are visible during the time we finally took the video [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

We were walking on Grant St. in Centerport, New York, approximately 9:15pm. It was dark, with some clouds. My friend noticed 2 orbs hovering in the western sky. They were apart from each other but seemingly aligned. One disappeared, then the other was gone. No sound.

The object was on the western Horizon above the sun. it was bright enough to see through cloud cover. It was stationary and I watched it for 3 minutes before it vanished. I did not see it move at all it just disappeared. There are no stars it was very close to the sun in the sky.

Friday night at 9:25 I was driving south on CO-93, just west of Leyden Rock and south of Coal Creek Canyon Rd, when I saw one bright flying object, orb-ish and seemingly tapered at both ends, flying east to west at a low altitude, easily in commercial airspace below the clouds. I pulled up FlightAware immediately and saw no commercial aircraft in the vicinity. The object was very bright and relatively large, easily distinguishable from stars or satellites. I had it in my sight for less than 30 seconds as I lost sight after it flew over the nearby foothills.
