Duluth, MN
We stopped at a wayside rest on the Scenic Highway heading back towards Duluth. We were sitting on top of this cliff watching the lake and the rain clouds across from us over Wisconsin. Against the dark clouds of rain we saw this white snake like formation. We thought they were birds, but birds don't in a line and dip up and down like your moving your hand in a wavy motion. We watched it until the snake like formation disappeared.

grandview, MO
I was heading west on 150 hwy on my motorcycle and there was not a cloud for has far as you could see.Then I look up again and there is not a cloud cause there was no thickness too it,It was like a hole in the sky and I look ahead of me and thats when i seen this very bright orange glowing bell shaped object and on past the object on the left was another gray hole in the sky.The two clouds is what stands out in my mind,the first gray hole was behind the object and to the left,second gray hole was ahead of the object and to the right.The time and date is a guess,but there was a bunch of cars heading the same way I was.And when I turned right on to north bound I-49 I could not see anything anymore,the two gray holes is what was odd.

Sterling, PA
15 people were doing a sky watch event in Blooming Grove Pa.in the Pocono Mts. in northeastern Pa. Very clear night. 9:44 pm. Two of us saw in the west approximately 15 miles out from out position three lights slowly moving away from us possibly over and around Sterling Pa. heading towards Scranton Pa. probably following interstate 84. We had high powered binoculars. To the naked eye it was three yellowish-pinkish lights in a row. They reminded me of mercury vapor lights. Definitely not natural. Size-wise, they were about the size of a pencil eraser. The lights were horizontal. When we looked through the binoculars we began to suspect we may be looking at the back of a craft that must have been large. It moved very slowly covering maybe the length of a finger in 5 minutes till we lost it behind the treeline. Too slow to be a plane by a lot! But huge. But here was what was especially odd. Through the binocs, you could see under the three yellow lights that t! here were three tiny tiny red lights. One in the middle slightly off to one side of the center yellow/pink light and two slightly offset and in from the two outside yellow/pink lights. And the red lights blinked but randomly and not sequentially. They also didnt blink fast. One would blink once and then a second later another would blink once sort of leisurely. Our combined thoughts were that we were possibly looking at the back of a large black triangle.

Pocatello, ID
The object was shaped what I could best describe as a shield-like shape. Rounded at the front, with a round protrusion at the rear. It was completely dark with no lights that I could see. I could see it because it blotted out the sky and stars. I would estimate the altitude at about where airliners fly. Maybe 30,000 feet. It was very large. Estimate at least 500x500 ft. It was completely silent and was flying at a high rate of speed. It was travelling almost directly from north to south and only took about 5 seconds to travel from horizon to horizon.

Hodgkins, IL
There were no clouds outside at the time it happened at about 6:52PM. There were clouds in area at around 4PM. It was a perfect blue sky at 6:52PM. I noticed like a white tic-tac shaped object moving super slow while it was flying as high as you can fly in the sky that looked like it was headed towards the town of Willowbrook while I am in Hodgkins. I told myself watch there be another so I turned my head to the right and there was another one following it at the same height in sky and going the same speed about 4 miles apart from each other. Then noticed a low flying plane flying on the side below going the opposite way thinking maybe the passengers in plane can maybe see them if looking out window while looking up. I kept watching both at all times. I had no phone with me. Then noticed maybe the sun started glaring on the first one for a few seconds. After watching both for about 4 minutes both of them disappeared at the same time. Then as I walked off I w! alked about 700 feet away I noticed another one in sky same height in sky and same speed in sky for 8 seconds headed towards Chicago then disappeared. I told one person I saw three out here that disappeared. Then told 2 others 10 minutes later what happened. All 3 looked like tic-tacs.

Sandpoint, ID
Looking toward Western sky, my sister and I watched an object with a bright, white light at the head and a smaller, white light at the end of what seemed to be a bar. It was dark, so we were unable to see actual shape. But it was very long. Object moved swiftly overhead toward Eastern sky. There was no flashing, both lights were steady. Maybe a low sound was emitted not sure as there was some manufacturing noise.

Alton (Hampshire)(UK/England) · United Kingdom
whilst sat eating food from a barbeque in the garden in front/next to my brother and his wife's home on saturday night i said/blurted more than once to my brother his wife and there three friends"whatever are those lights in the sky????"observing two strange colourful blue/purple lighted craft in the sky that had passed overhead seconds before flying side by side but some distance apart(about 13 feet apart)from each other moving at a moderate not fast speed at an altitude of around 800-1,000 feet towards the town of alton.a person i.e friend of my brothers alerted by my remark had noticed the lighted crafts also and walked across the garden to observe them see what they where using his phone's camera i did the same and followed him thinking i wood be able to capture these two beautiful lighted craft on my phone's camera also but to no avail the two craft did'nt seem in any hurry as they were visable and could be seen for around another 2 minutes there colour! altered the first craft particularly it also dropped down abit from being level with the other craft that was next to it.my brother wife's a very short time later said that they were stars which they clearly were not.....neither where they helicopters or similar or lights from other normal recognisable aircraft that i saw flying in different directions an altitudes that night i have never seen two craft with almost beaming like lights on them like these before and to not hear any sounds/noise from crafts that were'nt far up at all during the time i saw them adds to the mystery another interesting point is that these objects where close to a location place of an even stranger encounter where i observed and filmed a moving cream/pure white coloured pulsating ball into cream/pure white disc/saucer craft 19 years earlier in late June 2002...the footage is exceptional and treasured by me even now....

Chattanooga, TN
Chattanooga Tennessee August 28, 2021, between sunset and twilight 8:30pm and 8:39pm . A fellow musician was invited to play music at a private party on the rooftop of a home and I played percussion that night. During the time I was not playing I struck up a conversation with a beautiful long white haired woman in a white dress visiting from CA. It was still fairly light outside when all the sudden I noticed a really bright planet and pointed it out. We both sat marveling at its beauty. As I scanned the sky as I often do at dusk to my left between Lookout mountain and Elder mountain I could see the aquarium and Olgiati bridge. Then I noticed an even brighter light but it wasn’t yellowish In color like the previous planet/star I had been eyeing. Nope this was different. This array of light was right between Lookout and Elder,that’s how low to the ground it was. This clear silver white,bright light was neither a star nor a planet. Almost like a spotlight on steroids. ‘do you see what I’m seeing,or is it just me?’ She replied ‘oh no,it’s not just you I see it too.’ I was like,’have you ever seen anything that bright before?’ She said, ‘I can’t recall ever,maybe it’s a satellite.’ ‘No, satellites are way way way higher up in the atmosphere. I have seen satelites before this thing feels like it’s right in our face!’ ‘Maybe it’s the North Star?’ It was located South West and within the earths troposhphere so it couldn’t have been a star. I just kept carrying on how unbelievably bright and BIG it was. The shape looked like a mix of great heptagram,irregular polygon and heptagram. It never moved from that one spot. It was a single object for sure. It did not sway side to side nor move from the spot we first began seeing it at. It was literally like a hole was ripped into the atmosphere. It didn’t move. Didn’t budge. I ran to get my cell phone to film this and by the time I pulled up my camera I watched it start to fade. Then flicker almost as if someone was blowing out an electronic candle. Slowly this light was disapating until the shine was completely out. It’s like it just withdrew itself from the universe. Almost like it was never there to begin with. Another way to describe the shape and color was like the sparkle on a diamond ring. No it wasn’t cloud cover that made it fade away. This brightness was not a plane nor a helicopter. It appeared in one spot and disappeared in the same spot.

It looked like an upside down skeleton key shape, my first thought was that it was someone wearing a jet pack. It moved steadily across the sky and disappeared from view. It was still daylight.

above nature protected area CHKO Křivoklátsko, BEROUN D · Czechia
The sighting I am reporting happened on 19th August 2021 (Thursday). Time was around 6. 07 – 6. 10/11 am approx and the length of the observation could be around 3 – 4 mins. I was actually sitting in the plane - left side by a window. It was flight KL1350 from Prague to Amsterdam – regular route (the number of the flight could be different in 2021, the route is still being operated in 2022). My sighting started right away after we finished sharp ascend from the Václav Havel aiport above Prague and did turn to flight more northwestern direction. I remember checking flight route after incident at that time, but unfortunately I did not save any printscreens, but the turn is actually always done above nature protected area CHKO Křivoklátsko. Concretely plane flights over or very near village Bratronice and then continues to slightly turn near dam Klíčava. I also noticed close by to Bratronice is ex rocket military base Bratronice (from information I did found, it is now used by people who like post apo). Closest airport would be the one marked as LKKL. We were not so hight yet around 1700 to 2000 meters at first, we were keep ascending, but slowly so by the end of observation we could above 3000 meters high. Because it was morning most people were actually trying to sleep. I had a good view to southwestern direction after this turn right after first ascend. The sunrise happened just minutes ago (found out it was 5. 58 am) before we took off so the sky was still red, pink and orange, but more light blue to western direction to the right of my window. That is when I noticed something black just above the clouds layer extremely far away to the very right of my window view. To my eyes it was just something black, I thought perhaps another airplane. But I took my pair of binoculars – 20x50 with me on my vacation as I intended to watch some birds there as well. I had it in small backpack I did not put into the locker over my head so I could reach it, the pair was under the seat in front of me. I quickly zoomed to see into far distance clearly and made sure I see one image with both eyes. Then I froze. I couldn’t believe what I am actually seeing. The first impression was what is even that?!!. There was vertically placed solid pitch black object which resembled to me some sort of a black pillar but with sharp squared edges it seemed - prism. When I first saw it, it was under for me so could see at least upper part which was sharply squared shaped. This object itself looked enormous. I think if I would imagine it in a horizontal position it would be close to length of the fuselage of the plane I was in. But what was protruding from it made me feel even more astonished. There were some kind of protrusions which I can only compare to tentacles of squid. These were moving in similar fashion to tentacles or those appendages of some bacteria if you look under microscope. Some of them were thinner some of them very thick. I was not able to count how many exactly are there, but they was some space in the air between them so it wasn’t countless number. Sometimes they interwined or crossed and then went back to sort of moving in the style mentioned before and hanging under the pillar/prism. Couple times the pillar/prism rectracted them inside into itself and they became invisible. They were retracted gradually, it wasn’t like they disappeared. They looked attached to the pillar/prism. The pillar/prism was hovering most of the time, it slightly went up not being right above the cloud layer anymore so the view for me was now 0° in the horizont, then it was moving rapidly to right and left and opposite while the „tentacles“ got risen up (check the sketch). Whole this object was completely black, but reflecting sun light. After couple minutes it started moving forward rapidly and keep ascending. It was getting smaller how the distance between me and it was becoming greater. At the end of the observation the angle could be °15 in the horizont. The pillar/prism never changed its shape and stayed in a vertical position it was very clear I am seeing a solid object. It disappeared in the distance at very far right side. There were no windows, holes on it. I didn’t see any marking of any other color. There was no sound but that could be because of the distance and the noise the plane was making. Cannot say if there was any weird odor or interference with electrical devices as this was very far away. I didn’t take any picture nor video of it. I looked through my phone quickly but couldn’t even see it at all. I didn’t allert any other people in the plane. I logically assumed some people could start to panic or behave unpredictably and the last thing I wanted was a cancelled flight returning to Prague and police coming for me. I have no idea if anyone else noticed, but I don’t think chance of anyone else being here and having a pair of binoculars with them is high and with naked eyes it wasn’t discernable at all. I talked about it only with couple of my friends. Some suggested unusually formed jet contrails but I did check pictures and videos of such phenomenon and can say they look like made from smoke which is something completely different from what I saw. Not even those protrusions were smoke like, they were totally black and with reflection of sun and moving more resembled liquid substance than smoke. Even the way these contrails move is different.

Moapa valley, NV
My husband and I were setting off fireworks and filming for YouTube at the moapa fireworks launch site in Nevada. We noticed the other people around us looking up and getting excited...so we all look up. Over us is about 45 or more tiny "crafts" zig zapping and flying around and various speeds and doing weird maneuvers. They were much tinier lights than starlink...they looked like they were in space! Definitely not satellites or anything like that. Not drones...we've seen all these other things. These were 100 percent individually controlled objects. I didn't have time to film..they were probably too far to catch anyway...but it was amazing and scary at the same time. No idea what we saw..but now I wait and watch the sky, hoping to catch something just as awesome!

New Caney, TX
While walking out of Wal-Mart tonight I looked up and saw 6-8 orange lights all in a perfect row evenly spaced out kind of fading in and out, hard to explain exactly but it was like I was looking at something that I wasn't supposed to see, like it was glitch in the system and I got a glimpse of it. Almost looked like an electrical current of some sort but as soon as I saw it, it faded away. I don't think it had aliens in it or anything like that because it was too small, it wasn't like a spaceship. Kind of reminded me of the flashing lights in a school zone at least that was the shade and light consistency. Best example I can try to explain the shape of it is this. Imagine a hockey puck, now stack about 8 hockey pucks on top of each other, (the same way you would stack cans of tuna) except make them significantly larger like 8" in diameter and 8" thick stack them on top of each other, then lay the stack down horizontally and space all the pucks out! evenly about 6" apart and instead of them being pucks they were orange lights. Not the best visual description but that's how it looked and then it was gone into nowhere. It was almost like the lights were passing through an invisible conduit from one side of the sky to the other.

North Myrtle Beach, SC
On Tuesday, August 10, 2021, at approximately 10:30 PM, my wife and I were taking a walk along North Myrtle Beach. We were walking from the 500 block of South Ocean Blvd towards the 100 block. While routinely looking into the sky, I spotted two objects that resembled birds drawn by every amateur artist on the planet. My wife asked what I was looking at and I told her they were birds as they appeared to be hovering and gliding. Shew said “There’s no way those are birds. Birds wouldn’t be anywhere near that high”. Initially the objects were in the sky to my left, over the land. They hovered overhead for 10-15 seconds and then slowly moved southwest over the beach and ocean. At some point, I didn’t actually see it happen, because I didn’t think too much of the event at this point, they transitioned to a more vertical position, like a traditional airplane on takeoff. However, the incline was much steeper, an approximate 70 degree angle. The objects steadily, but quickly, rose to a very high altitude and then disappeared. Not in the way an object will disappear from sight. They just disappeared. About a minute later, my wife and I witnessed lights in the shape of a gigantic obtuse triangle, with an area of approximately 6-8 full moons. The object was so large we, initially, thought they were three separate objects at first. The lights blinked one after another in a left-to-right rotation. After observing this a few times, we concluded it was one solid object as opposed to three separate entities, despite the fact that we could see nothing inside the massive area. It was black as the night sky. The object, which appeared to be relatively low in the sky, also appeared to move very down the beach in the same direction we were walking. Although it was so large it may not have been moving at all. After about a minute, there were a handful of very quick flashing (5-6 flashes in a second or two) small white lights at the side of the triangular object, closest to the100 block (Sorry I’m terrible with directions). That was followed by 3-5 orange orbs, about the quarte! r size of a full moon. My wife said “That’s what I saw earlier!” (when she was sitting on the balcony before our walk). The orbs glowed for a few seconds each and then disappeared, as did the triangular shaped trio of blinking lights. I was extremely excited and kept asking my wife, “What are we seeing right now?!” I calmed down, however, when I saw a man and young teen boy approaching from the rear. When they reached us, the man asked, “What was that?!” I am a 49 year old man who has been a high school Social Studies teacher for 27 years. While I have believed in the possibility of extraterrestrial crafts visiting Earth, I have never seen anything before this event. While not questioning what I saw, I do realize there are other explanations such as military tests, etc.

Midland, WA
It was early afternoon, We were moving. I was sitting in a chair looking up at the sky when I noticed something moving. It was translucent yet I could still see it. It was gliding at a slow speed. Could see some sort of twinkling lights at both ends. I am 100% positive this was not an aircraft made by us. My boyfriend is an aircraft specialist he could not identify it either. One of tbe mover guys saw it too. None of us were able to identify this thing in the sky. It was not balloons or weather equipment. I was and still amazed at what I saw. Will never forget it.

Palmdale, CA
Approximately at 8:30pm on August 3rd my girlfriend and I had returned from our normal walk. We stopped at our neighbor’s house to chat with them as they were sitting outside. During the conversation I was looking up as always to spot satellites. I spotted what I thought was one and excitedly pointing it out to them. It was single white light like a typical satellite and was moving straight above our heads from the N/W to a S/E direction. My girlfriend spotted it but I had to help my neighbor spot it. It took him about 5 seconds to locate it. A few seconds later my girlfriend and my neighbor turned away and that’s when a few seconds later I saw the light take an instant U turn. I screamed out “It did a U turn”. They both look up and acknowledge that it was going in the opposite direction. As all three of us watched the UFO going in the opposite direction and In a matter of seconds it stopped moving and stayed in one position above us. I yelled out”It stoppe! d”. They agreed with me that it had stopped. They watched it for a short time and then turned away but I kept my eyes on it. After 10 minutes my neck started to hurt from looking up for that length of time. The light never moved and I kept on telling them that they don’t realize what we were witnessing but they didn’t seem as enthusiastic as I was about we had just witness. We went home and it had never moved as I entered my house as I watched it until then. I also pointed out to them a plane that was flying over and explained that the planes have blinking lights and aren’t that high up in the sky. I am 66 yrs. old and have 20/20 vision. I have seen thousands of traveling satellites and have never witness one traveling at that speed and that altitude and do a U turn instantly and then slow to a stop. No plane or helicopter could ever do what we saw tonight. I’m glad I had two witnesses to verify this report.

On Sunday morning (August 1st at around 3:25AM), a weird light appeared on my street. My Ring driveway camera takes a picture every three minutes and captured the occurrence. I have attached a two second video which is a series of snapshots. I’m at a loss as to what this is..

Staton Island, NY
I was piloting a Cessna 172S at approximately 1,500ft flying a 1/4 mile off of the southern coast of Staton Island headed east towards the Verrazzano-Narrows bridge. As we were half way down the coast of Staton Island I noticed a black icosahedron shaped object. At first I thought it was a balloon, but as we got it closer it was clear that the faces and edges were extremely sharp and crisp and appeared metallic. While the object was primarily black, one of the triangles that made up the icosahedron was reflecting the sunlight and had a distinct purple hue. The object appeared stationary as we approached it, and it appeared to me to be a maximum of 10ft in diameter. I approximate our plane was 2,000ft from the object as I passed by it, however, this is judging by the speed it passed my wingtip assuming it was stationary. The object did not appear to have any rotation or movement. I have attached an image I created after the incident that I think accurately captures what I observed. Again, this image is not a photograph of the event. It does not capture the purple hue of the sunlight reflecting off it, which was memorable as it helped me gauge the flatness of the surface and has led me to rule out it being a balloon. The actual edges were sharper than how it appears in the image I created.
