I am an overnight delivery driver and for the past 3 mornings in a row I have seen multiple orb/star like objects appearing and disappearing over the NE sky from my location (Would put objects over Central MO). The objects appear from between 2am and 4am and will appear to "dance" around the sky, changing altitude, direction and traveling at insane speeds. The first morning I witnessed 4 of the objects together, the second morning two, and this morning I seen 3, however I was only able to get a partial picture of two of the objects before they faded away. The objects do not appear to have any lights similar to that of aircraft also flying in the sky, as you can see airplanes in the sky with their flashing beacons where as these objects are a solid color that fades in and out as they move. I did check multiple flight radars to see if there was a group of aircraft in or around the area where they might be flying, but nothing was found. The fact it has occured 3 mornings in a row, either tells me its the government testing some secret aircraft near Whiteman Air Force Base, or the objects are indeed UFOs.

Got out of car talking to my brother. Saw a bright light moving almost like a shooting star so I pointed it out to my brother and his son. The light got alittle brighter as it passed through and disappeared but then it happened again moving same direction exact same spot start and stop. Their were planes you could see flying in same area passing through but not nearly as fast as the lights and obvious blue and red lights and flashing on planes. The lights had no tracer behind them either like a falling star. The light would be dim then get brighter as it passed through orions belt and dim out and disappear same spot. All 4 times exactly the same way. Also plans flying through lights on plane never disappeared so not like it was clouds or anything. Very clear night. [NUFORC annotation: Satellite - Probable]

I was sitting on the patio outside my cabin just after dusk. The ship was moving south and i was on the port side on floor 9. My eyes caught a white light moving east to west. It was 15-20 degrees above the horizon and moving at an amazing speed in line with the horizon. I am a private pilot and live 15 miles from Luke AFB. See fighter jets all the time. Have never seen anything move this fast. And light suddenly stopped completely. It sat still for maybe a second. Then slowly went straight up and back to the east. It was gone from sight in a split second. I cannot possibly emphasize the speed it was moving when it came to a complete stop. I would be amazed if the crew on the bridge did not see it as it would have been right on their port view. I have replayed this in my head a thousand times. Never seen anything like this. Thank you.

Vancouver, WA
It was my during my graduation of high school at the WSU Vancouver campus. My friend and I were sitting in the grass celebrating graduation. After a while of being there that night, we had noticed 3 stationary colorful lights towards the east side of the campus. After noticing them for about 15 minutes, the farthest light to the east disappeared at incredible speeds to the south. After about another 5 minutes the middle light did the same thing. About another 5-10 minutes had gone by and the last light had followed the other’s direction. I am now 25 years old and still cannot get what I saw out of my head. I have never been able to figure out where to send this information to nor who I could trust to tell. It was the most incredible phenomenon I have ever seen.

Morrisville, PA
My background I am in customer support, and a musician. I want to start this off by saying I’ve been trying to actively make contact for a while now using meditation and CE-5-like cognitive thought sequencing techniques. I tried something similar at 8:00 - 8:45 pm tonight while on a night walk and sitting in my backyard looking for any anomalies. I did see two very high, distant white lights that traveled off, one of them flaring, but it was impossible to know if they were anything significant or just space trash or something. At 10:30 pm I was standing in my dark bathroom brushing my teeth and I happened to look out the window. In the trees past my neighbor’s house an orange light suddenly appeared and flared. It blinked at me. I called my partner in saying “I think it’s a UFO.” He took one look at it and had the usual instinctual fear reaction he has when he sees something unusual and he left the room. It continued to blink at me, then disappeared. For a moment nothing happened, and I opened the window so I could listen for any sounds or anything unusual. Then it returned again and disappeared again after about a minute of being there. Out loud, I very quietly said, “Do you mind if I film you, is that okay?” And I pulled out my cellphone camera and aimed at the spot in question. The included video was the third time it appeared and flared. The video quality is not the best but I kept steady and just filmed it quietly until it disappeared from sight. After putting away my phone, I then witnessed something that looked like a long shape or a cigar shape or perhaps the rounded edge of something larger with a row of orange lights like tiny glowing windows move off into the trees, from the same distance as the initial orange ball of light but closer towards my property. I felt instinctively if I tried to film it, it would disappear, so I did not pull back out my camera this time. I think I can try and recreate the events in future, and maybe then I can film something more obvious than just a ball of light. Right after the orange window object vanished beyond the tree line, my neighbors lights started to flicker like their power was effected. Only their house seemed to be effected as far as I could tell; no other streetlights or my house or anything was effected. But it was right in front of me so I could see it happen. In the past few weeks as well when I go out for night walks I’ve noticed the neighborhood dogs tend to bark a lot at nothing - not near me as I’m walking by but in the distance I hear them almost systematically start barking from one house to another down the block beginning in the next street over to mine. I don’t know what’s setting them all off. As far as neighborhood reports have it, there have been no strange people spotted or any break ins or anything. There were weird “drones” in the area here and in Buckingham very recently though, a swarm of strange drones. I’d like to add I am a lifelong Experiencer and have seen more things in the sky recently than in my first thirty years of life. I don’t know what it means, but it’s certainly intriguing. Orange balls of light seem to be the most common one that I keep experiencing. If an investigator wants to contact me about this experience or any of my others, they can. The included map includes the approximate direction where I saw the ball of light (I could not tell how close it actually was, as it appeared in the trees) and the dotted line is the approximate path the windowed object took, which was at helicopter height but not like any helicopter I’ve observed - nor was anything active on my flight radar at the time.

Altamont, UT
Easter night 2023. Witnessed what I originally thought was a meteor. It streaked in from the south and was slightly dimmer than the surrounding stars. It was predominantly white, but had a slight green tint. It then very rapidly moved northward, abruptly stopped, then moved in a large arc and then northward again until leaving my field of view. Also it was a clear night and there was no sound.

Holt, MI
It started at about 8-8:30 PM. We were on the back porch and noticed a light very far away (about star sized) that seemed to be getting closer. The view was obstructed by trees so we went inside and moved to the front yard. At this point it seemed to be moving closer at a high rate of speed. I thought it may have been a meteor entering the atmosphere. Then it became more visible. It was one craft with what seemed like 3 lights, lined horizontally, all touching. The lights are fixed in a row but seemed to spin around admitting beams, almost like a light house. You could tell when the lights were "pointed" in our direction. There was also a yellowish/greenish aura around the craft. The craft seemed to get closer and closer, with the lights getting larger, but still seemed far away. It was hard to tell, I felt it was far away but could reach us very quickly it it wanted to. We watched it hover in the sky for a while. Hovering up and down, it almost seemed like it's distance was moving closer to us very slowly. But hovering at the same time. We watched this for probably about 10-15 minutes. We went back inside for maybe another 20-30 minutes and decided to venture to the front yard again. The craft was still there in the same spot doing the same as previously described. I took the best quality picture I could as well as a video. You can't see much in the video besides it's light movement. I got spooked at this point and we went back inside for a while. Maybe 30 minutes again. When we finally went out to the back porch again, the light appeared to be very far away (like it was in the beginning, almost looked like it was a moving bright planet). Didn't see anything on the local pages or in the news when checking.

The first light was stationary for maybe two or three minutes and blinked every second or so at regular intervals. It was in the East. Not as high as star and higher than an cell tower. I know the area well and it was neither of those. Slowly, the light moved West and then the white light blinked alternatively with a red light. It was lower and slower than a typical airplane or helicopter. It continued West and was joined by another object of the same nature, also blinking white and red moving from the South to North. They appeared to move West together, nearly side by side. Lost sight due to trees blocking my view.

Blanca, CO
For 45 minutes or so light after light would appear above mt Blanca and descend on it or disappear into the top of my Blanca. After 20 minutes they started to be at a higher altitude and moving west from my Blanca to la Venta pass. At one point two lights passed another and changed direction.... Could be an extreme ball lightning event. The lights came at random intervals. Good luck

Prosperity, SC
Went out at around 4:15 or 4:30 am to let the dogs out. I often look up when I am out at night, so I saw a cluster of stars (I thought) that began moving and flickering out. Some would light up bright white (a little larger than the brightest star) move a little and fade away. Some were red or orange. It lasted about 10 minutes, but I have no idea how long it was going on before I went out. It was almost in the same exact spot in the sky (from my vantage point), that the famous solar eclipse that happened a few years back. It was directly overhead and about 30 degrees to the south. I asked my wife to see and she observed 2 or 3 near the end. It appeared to be higher than a commercial flight. I would guess 60-80,000 feet. I shot a green laser at them, but not sure that it had any reaction to it. It felt alive or in unison if that helps.

I’m on a United Airlines flight from Las Vegas to Houston. Minding my business and enjoying the flight I look outside and at first saw a light streak in the distance and then as I’m trying to figure out what I saw I look outside and there are these light going on and off periodically and at times there would be 2-3 of them at the same time

I was taking down one of my outside cameras and noticed a very very bright light com from the NW and stop and stay just over the horizon for about 30mins. I still can see it at the moment but the intensity of the light has dwindled down to be just brighter than the moon would be on a full moon but still quite visible. When videoing the light a strange circular wave pattern was emanating around the light. at one point I thought it was protruding lights from it but I am not sure if that was just my eyes playing tricks with me. I filmed other lights as well to see if that was a localized phenomenon or if every light did it. It was the only light I could make give the wave circle pattern. Don’t know what it was. Just thought I’d share. Thank you have a great night.

Saw semi amber colored lights individually in the low horizon maybe 20 miles to the Northeast. They moved slowly then disappeared then reappeared. Roughly 8 different objects round dots as if a star, no twinkling or blinking. None were in formation. Several were stacked. Co worker on my graveyard shift saw the exact same thing when I told him where to look beyond the Hunter Power Plant. I checked flight radar for airplanes and none were in the vicinity within 100 miles at least.

I spotted this light and the northeast quadrant of the sky left of Virgo constellation. This light was a solid white looking light that had no color and was not blinking. This light moved straight east until it went behind some trees from my viewpoint and I could no longer see it. I live pretty much directly under the Dane county airport and am very used to seeing air traffic and this was out of the ordinary. [NUFORC annotation: Satellite - Possible]

Boarder of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, CO
We were the pilots from United 1325 DEN-PDX. About 50 miles from the northwestern border of Colorado on a heading of 285 at 38,000ft we noticed a series of lights, appearing at first to look like 3 light bright stars or satellites forming a triangle, at 2'clock high. As we watched this the lights moved going west to east then up and down converging and then disappearing. They stayed in our approximate 1:30 to 2'clock position appearing to be well above us. The patterner of forming a triangle, converging, moving, and then disappearing continued every 2-3 minutes for approximately 20 minutes as we passed the Wyoming border and then into Utah. They appeared to be far away at a high altitude. The other pilot I was flying with mentioned that he had seen the same moving pattern of lights on a different day in the same location in northwestern Colorado.

Huntsville, AL
On March 14th, I sent a report about seeing lights in the southern sky south of Huntsville Alabama. Since then, I have gone out in my back yard and checked the sky for more lights moving randomly in the sky. Every night since then, cloud cover permitting, I have seen the lights. The sky in that direction is unlit. I have seen anywhere from 2 or 3 to as many as 8. These lights are spaced from the west to the east around Huntsville. Some of the lights are brighter than others and others are smaller. In watching, they move randomly in a general area they occupy. At times they move rapidly and other times they seem to hover or move slowly. There seems to be no pattern to the movements. During times of slow moving broken clouds, the lights when covered by the clouds, seem to move to the nearest opening in the clouds. On a few occasions, there appears to be a small light suspended below the main light. Last night, March 27th 2023, while observing the lights, one of them began traveling to the east from a southerly position and at the same time one in the eastern sky began traveling west to a southerly position. The east bound light eventually disappeared in the east and the west bound light settled into a position approximately where the east bound light started from. Both lights traveled quite a distance at a moderate speed making random movements. All the lights I have seen since March 14th do the same thing every night, moving randomly, in all directions, at times darting to a spot. I have seen these lights in the evening and in the early morning hours prior to the sun coming up. On two occasions I had my wife come out to observe just to make sure I was not seeing things and she too observed the lights moving around in the sky.

Norwich, NY
I happened to look out a west facing window to see if my solar lights were working at end of my driveway, and saw a plane with its lights flashing over my house, then I noticed a fast moving non blinking light through trees to the west that was changing direction quickly. It seemed far off and I thought it must be moving very fast. It made right angle turns and at one point it was going in a circle. I braced my head on frame of window and made sure that it was moving like that, and not me. Also could see its progress compared to sparsely spaced branches on tree. Am convinced that it wasn't an optical illusion and was some kind of craft. I know that stars will seem to move in a circle when standing outside, just because of your head moving slightly. After about 3 minutes, I blinked and it was gone. This the first time I have seen something I couldn't explain. Just a point of light.

I was driving at night on 69 going east. I had just approached the Bancroft 1 mile exit sign when I saw a bright light falling out of the sky at super sonic speed. Within 3 seconds it had disappeared and seemed to have fallen in a field to the right side of my car. It looked like it fell about a mile ahead of where my car was driving at the time. But also wondering if it could of appeared closer than it actually was. Too fast to tell.

Rumney, NH
I saw a bright orange light in the sky and stated " what the f. Is that" but it was gone when my husband looked up. He tells me probably a plane, but the light wasn't normal. Still trying to figure out what I saw , we both witness 2 bright orange light appear. One in the center of my view and one to the right by the rumney rocks/rattlesnake mtn. Then a second later they are just gone. No clouds covering, nothing across the sky , just gone .
