I was sitting outside on a bright cloudless day. I didn't see anything but suddenly just felt this need to take a photo of the sky almost directly above me with my iPhone. All I could see was pure blue. When I took the picture inside and put it on my laptop there were at least 11 and possibly more silver metallic objects in the photo. Some were extremely high and just specks but a few were much lower/closer. They appear to be circular metal silver balls like ball-bearings but some of them appear so close together that they look like 2 side-by-side. They are scattered all over the frame and as mentioned most of them are at an extremely high altitude. Everyone I have shown the photo to has absolutely no idea what these objects are.

I was walking back from work, when i looked at the sky and saw a bright flash, i thought nothing of it when i saw another flash 10 seconds later, and looked what something like another air craft shooting off the side of it and bolted with light speed across the sky, i don't know if it was a ufo i saw but i would be interested in finding out what i really saw that night

Looked like a star at first glance, then it started moving erratically across the sky. First it was above my dads house then moved to above the garage and then back over to my dads house. The neighbor even came out and had no explanation herself

Watkins Glen, NY
Looking up through trees of campsite, (Tuscarora Village N. side) Watkins Glen State Park, husband and wife observed orange red circle moving silently slowly in west direction up Glen Creek (East to West). The object was orange in center and had a red fire like ring on the peripheral circle, which had fire like licks or prongs emanating into the center orange portion, similar to looking straight up into the base of a rocket outlet, but flame going inwards to center and flames were slowly intermittent like a dying ember not a fast burn. The object moved slowly west (visible intermittently through the tree canopy) and did not appear to be relatively high, I.E. lower than commercial jet aircraft and about as high as local prop aircraft). The shape was definite perfect circle not rough like mold burn. Lost track through tree canopy. (No intoxicants involved with reporters and they are objectively trained and not subject to emotional speculation).

Two orange/red circular shaped crafts in view over heavily cloud covered sky, flying slowly from east to west. First craft drifts southward and disappears. Second craft continue to fly westward and magnifies in brightness. Third craft appears from east (same location as the previous two) and flew westward towards second craft. Second craft then elevates while turning southward and slowly blinks out and disappears. Third craft illuminates brightly then dims then repeats this while flying westward, turns southward and elevates above clouds and disappears. Normal aircraft also seen flying in routine flight direction of south to north with visible blinking red and white lights on their sides.

Driving Vehical going west on washinton road, looked up just at the right moment and saw a perfect black circle move from west to east right over the car in broad daylight. It appeared to me like it had dipped below the cloud cover and then went back in. I blinked and almost shook my head thinking I saw something That wasn’t really there. But the more I kept thinking about it the rest of the drive I no doubt saw the almost Blacker than black object. I couldn’t tell you the size of it but from my view from the car window it could have been the size of a quarter moving over the window, at cloud cover height on sat the 8th of august 2014

Took my dog outside. Witnessed an intense bright light. Thought at first I was about to get hit by a lightning strike (the light was so intense). Incredibly bright, but in a limited area. It was gone as fast as it appeared. No sound. No clouds in the sky. I am 61 and have never seen anything like this.

Around 9 pm on August 22, 2014, there were 4 people on the deck of an oceanfront beach house. It was pitch dark out with no cloud cover. We were all looking out at the water, facing southward, looking down the beach towards the Gary Oliver pier. Three small red lights were in a triangle formation were cruising along the beach line, fairly high in the sky, but not as high as a commercial airliner would be. they made no sound and as they were approaching, they then disappeared all the the same point in the sky. 30 seconds later a single red light followed the same pattern as the other three and disappeared at the same pint. 2 more followed that one about 15 seconds behind each other and disappeared at the same point in the sky. Then three more in triangle formation and they also disappeared at same point in sky. They were all the same shape, color, size and all disappeared at same point in sky and they made no noise. No way they were aircraft, helicopters or anything else I have ever seen. VERY VERY strange -- and the three other people with me are all UFO non-believers, but could NOT explain what it could have logically been as there was no clouds and they made no noise. Only comment made was that someone mentioned there was a military base near Elizabeth City, but we still did not know what that would lend to the solution of what they were.

i looked up and it wasn't the moon. there were two different circle shaped bright orange lights fairly close to each other. one seemed to remain still and the other moved very slowly but not far from the bigger light. i was on the highway and before i could find a safe spot to pull over at and observe better the lights had already disappeared

I observed I believe 5 to 6 objects flying towards south in a cluster, and it seemed to to me that they were trying to get in some sort of formation as it seemed the organization seemed unorganized moving from north to south, at the point they seemed to get in some sort of organization, they disappeared from sight. I had seen approx. 12 satellites this night, and this was something I have never seen before. I wish I had a video recorder as this was very interesting....

Ochelata, OK
I was driving home from work like I always do and something caught my eye and I looked over and there was this circle shape with tons of blinking lights just hovering over a field. It did not move nor was it very loud. It spooked me that I was only able to video for 13 secs then I drove off as fast as I could. It was a dark road and I was the only car. But I was able to get video of it. The color of the lights were like a bluish tint. The video I have makes it look like I was far away but I was not. I was right there,this is not the first time I have seen something like it either, I have pictures of the others.

We were sitting facing the beach (south) at night and saw towards western direction a light that got very bright that, at first, looked like a star. Then it got very bright. It seemed to be a circular shape. Then we saw a second one get bright, then a third. This was all in a span of 10 seconds. They were in a triangular formation. They all went south....very quickly. Then separated and flew away. They had blue flashing lights after the bright light dimmed a bit. I have never seen anything like it. I thought maybe military-like jets that go at super speed.....but they were so fast, I am not sure.

As it got closer, moving west to east, I noticed it was a solid white light with no blinking lights. I watched for about a good 4 or 5 minutes and it disappeared with a speed I've never seen before, kind of like a fade to black in a nanosecond at a different angle. Then it was gone.

I WAS OUTSIDE SMOKING A CIGARETTE. I WAS LOOKING AT THE MOUNTAIN RANGE AS I ALWAYS DO. ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS AN ORANGE CIRCLE COMING FROM THE MOUNTAIN RANGE GOING STRAIGHT UP. IT WAS PULSATING THE COLOR ORANGE TO RED BACK AND FORTH. IT FLEW SLOWLY INTO THE SKY UNTIL I COULD NOT SEE IT BECAUSE THERE WERE CLOUDS AS WELL. I NOTICED RIGHT AWAY THAT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO NOISE AS YOU WOULD HEAR FROM A HELICOPTER THAT MIGHT HOVERING LIKE THAT. ALSO THE LIGHTS WERE NOT BLINKING LIKE A PLANE OR HELICOPTER. IT WAS A SOLID COLOR THAT SEEMED TO BE PULSATING. WE WERE RECORDING IT ON A CELL PHONE. JUST AS ONE DISAPPEARED BEHIND A CLOUD, ANOTHER CAME UP FROM APPROXIMATELY THE SAME LOCATION IN THE MOUNTAINS. WE WATCHED AND RECORDED AGAIN, AS SOON AS THAT WAS BEHIND THE CLOUDS ANOTHER CAME UP. BEFORE THAT ONE COULD GO BEHIND THE CLOUDS ANOTHER CAME UP. IT WAS TOO BIG TO BE CHINESE LANTERNS, AND DEFINITELY NOT PLANES, THEY WERE GOING VERTICAL NOT HORIZONTAL. IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT FLARES, AS THERE WAS NOTHING LIKE A TRAIL OF LIGHT GOING INTO THE SKY.

Me and a couple of other ET's heard some of the watch standers on the island talking about seeing something crazy, they said something about trying lock on to it with the Nato Sea Sparrow Director's onto the object. Me and a handful of guys on the night shift ran up to the O-10 where the watch standers were watching it. They had the mounted Binoculars trained on the object. I thought they were mistaking two stars one of which looked like a pulsar (due to my pretty extensive knowledge of astronomy). The object then appeared between the two stars again, the other guys saw the object as well. We all thought we might be imagining it, asked each other a couple of times if they saw it too. We all agreed that it was there. When I first noticed it, I thought I was imagining it. How could a star disappear then reappear right in front of me? I watched it through the mounted binoculars changing colors between blue, white, purple, and pink at high speed, it kept pulsing. It seemed to stay motionless, the problem was that the altitude was just high for any of us to make out exactly what it looked like, from our vantage point we could see that it may have been hovering and possibly moving but just can't say for sure. After about 5 minutes of viewing the object as we were all trying to get a look at it, a bright flash filled the sky in the location of the object, it looked like it shot with an incredible speed and was gone. We were traveling North, the object was northeast of our Northerly heading. Our speed was approximately 15 to 20 knots. The three watch standers at there post reported that two similar objects had come out of the main relatively stationary object and then rejoined the main object. During my time watching the object CIC (Combat Information Center) was trying to get a radar lock on the object with the Nato Sea Sparrow Missile Directors. The directors (which are radar directors, fire control radar) kept trying to lock onto the object then it would drop back down to the horizon, the OS's (Operation Specialists) trying to drive the director back there again. Every time they would drive to get a lock the lock would fail and the director would be driven back down again. It seemed to me that the object was overriding the directors drive control or that the radar receiver was being over powered and being forced by internal programming to protect its receiver, (to get away from the source of the electromagnetic radiation) it could have been over-driven by the object being to close but more than likely the object was jamming the radar. I can't say weather it was jamming the object passively or actively, just that the radar was being jammed. After the sighting I checked the SPN-43 and SPS-49 radar in CATCC, neither of them had a radar return, although at that altitude the chances of a radar return are very slim. I tried to report it to my chain of command, they laughed at me and said that we didn't see anything. We probably just excited, I didn't expect that reaction especially when CIC reacted the way they did.
