Port Orchard, WA
There were three lined up circles/star like objects and two more higher on the left and the right and one on bottom right of area of sky but the one on the bottom was moving and slowly fading and one by one they got dimmer and dimmer and separated until they disappeared I also have video evidence

Valrico, FL
At around 9:00 PM EST, I had seen a light that resembled the space shuttle going up into space. My wife was taking her brother and mother home down the street and I called her up to see if she could see anything. She said she saw 6 objects and one was standing still in the air and the others were going fast in and out of different altitudes. There was no sound of a motor or engine. None of us could explain what we saw.

Le 14 février 2023, le témoin est à son domicile. En fermant ses volets à 01:30h, il aperçoit dans le ciel un point lumineux scintillant, dont la taille lui parait plus grosse qu’une étoile. Il pense alors à un avion, mais après 10 minutes, et surtout en revenant vers 03h du matin à son point d'observation, il constate que le phénomène est toujours là, au même endroit . Le scintillement est intense, net et régulier. Le témoin note des changements de couleurs rapides, d’abord du rouge, puis du blanc et enfin du vert. Le témoin filme et photographie le PAN. Sur la vidéo et les photos, les couleurs n’apparaissent pas, le PAN reste flou, sans doute en raison de forts zooms effectués. Résidant depuis plus de 50 ans dans cette commune, le témoin a parfaitement identifié la position et l'orientation du phénomène. Un seul témoignage sera recueilli. Le cas est bien documenté par le témoignage, la vidéo et les deux clichés. L’étrangeté initiale repose en grande partie sur le fait que le PAN change aléatoirement de couleurs et qu’il semble être constitué d'un élément unique, ce que dément l'enquête (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). Les effets de changements de couleurs sont dus à l’atmosphère et à la température générant divers phénomènes (diffraction, turbulence, réfraction, absorption, diffusion). L’étrangeté intrinsèque, celle ressentie par le témoin, n’est pas quantifiable, nous comprenons bien , néanmoins, les raisons de son questionnement lors de l’observation et, surtout, lors du visionnage des images enregistrées. L’analyse du dossier permet de conclure à l'observation, par le témoin, de deux astres différents : Bételgeuse et Procyon - en deux phases distinctes. Les plages horaires d’observation, la situation astronomique de Bételgeuse et Procyon lors de ces deux phases, le bâtiment à proximité ayant caché le coucher de Bételgeuse, ont légitimement questionné et interpellé le témoin qui pensait avoir observé un point unique fixe dans le ciel dégagé. Les caractéristiques du PAN appuient cette conclusion, et en particulier : - La forte scintillation provoquant des changements de couleurs rapides - La forme, ponctuelle et semblable à celle d’une étoile - L’immobilité. Le GEIPAN classe en A : observation des étoiles Bételgeuse et Procyon. [GEIPAN classification A — Etoile]

Fall River, MA
A bright but a very distant light that continuously would blink and move in erratic motions. Left to right to up to down and then from Northwest to Southwest Etc. The light would reappear in a different space Within seconds. I was able to take photos and a brief video. This was not the satellite. There was no straight line of the movement of the light. Please see photos and video. This happened in southeast Massachusetts above Fall River Massachusetts. My name is ((name deleted)) and my phone number is 508-((telephone number deleted)). My 22-year-old son also witnessed it. He was actually the one who came into the house to get me to show me.

It looked similar to a satellite but it was not on a trajectory like I've seen in the past it as well came into visibility in a point of the sky at random we're if it was a satellite or something I should have seen it from one horizon to another typicaly idk it just seemed different, idk how to explain it made me nervous with all this shit with china going on.

Video but I have video but I can't upload it so give me an option. I'm going to post a link and you can look at my Google photos on it. And download it yourself https://photos.app.goo.gl/BNxgza2kFYkWFa968 At 5:45 a.m. I stopped from the morning walk to look up at the stars I was facing west, sun had not risen, sky was clear temperature was about 35°, I was looking at the Big Dipper I could see it to my right when I saw, because satellites reflect the sun when it hasn't came up yet and I saw what appeared to be a satellite coming to view to my right which would have been North. It was a solid light dimming and glowing but just like any other satellite I've seen maintaining chorus is about 25° off the horizon low, when following the same trajectory but about a half inch higher or more toward straight up another one. Coming of you because of the sunlight I imagine and it was going slightly faster and as it overtook the other one it slowly changed its course to be right in front of the other one but as it passed the other one the other one seem to acknowledge it in some way because it started to follow it there were no sharp turns they were long slight course changes and I imagine they were at high speeds but the second one was following with the one that I saw first was now in pursuit or playing with the other one following behind it. This went on for the remainder of the minute and a half I put my camera on it I believe I caught some of it but all I could do is point at the dark sky and hope it got something cuz my screen is broke. I thought it personally could be drones but for them to cover the sky like they did as fast as they did I just know they were what I thought they were they were at least at that altitude I don't know if they were planes but there were no flashing and they're altitude is way up there and to turning like they were it was seem friendly but fun a little bit you know high-speed chase but not I don't know I just got this into the second one was offended.

West Jordan, UT
I was outside looking towards Salt Lake City and I noticed 2 bright white lights, East of the Big Dipper, that were slowly moving. The 2 bright lights continued slowly moving toward each other, when a 3rd white light appeared, and all 3 lights began moving toward a central point. Before the 3 lights got to each other, all 3 lights slowly disappeared and never reappeared. The bright white lights were not blinking. Commercial aircraft were flying in the area in their normal path to the Salt Lake City airport. This occurred about 10 minutes before the Starlink satellites passed overhead from West to East.

Whilst flying a B787 from MSY to LHR around 50W over North Atlantic heading 090, a pulsating light was seen a long way ahead with approximately 20 degrees inclination. Light moved left to right and back again. A second light peeled off from the first at great speed then remained in the vicinity. Both lights moved left and right, slowly faded from view. Other aircraft were contacted and they confirmed the same sighting.

Fort Atkinson, WI
While working as a security officer guarding a construction site at night, I had stepped out of my car to stretch my legs when I noticed several lights that resembled aircraft landing lights low above the horizon to the ENE of my location. The way that these lights moved seemed odd to me so I got my monocular (10x magnification) to get a better look at them and saw that, aside from the single white light, there were no running lights at all. I continued to watch the lights (up to 3 at a time) as they faded in and out for half an hour, during which I took both video and still shots of them.

I was watching the green comet, C/2022 E3 ( ZTF), for the last time that night on 2/11/2023 at approximately 10:00 pm eastern time when I noticed what appeared to be a satellite moving across the sky. But quicker and dimmer and way further away than any satellite I have ever seen. I lowered my binoculars to follow it with my naked eye and as one should be able to do and it wasn't there. I put my binoculars back up and saw more. One after another in procession but could not see them with my naked eyes. I go tell my boyfriend, who is in the house, ro come and confirm what I'm seeing. I line up the view on the binoculars and tell him to look from Polaris where they just appear and follow them by Capella to Orion and where they just vanish. He could only see them with binoculars too. And confirmed what I saw. They literally just appear from what seem to be the Polaris star system. And they are moving faster than any satellite I've ever seen. Not brightly lit. But moving quickly. It wasn't Starlink. They were spaced too far apart and too far away to be seen with out visual aid. And they just faded out. There was no following them after they passed through Orion. I counted over 40. I just quit counting because I have no idea how many were there before and I just did not see them. My boyfriend counted 22 within a minute. Any ideas? Any body else see what I saw?

Saw a steady light moving quickly near Nobleford, AB, faster then any plane I know of. Object was flying from the the SE and heading NW. Read today NORAD was tracking a UFO near Havre Montana that same evening which isn't far from my location.

Calgary, AB · Canada
What I thought was a fighter jet moving verticals above ground heading east Calgary to brooks the way it was moving could reach it 2 hours out in a minute. Did not hear sonic boom which I could have or it was traveling higher up. No dash cam that would have been good. This was moving 10 times faster or more.

Melbourne, FL
I saw about 5 very faint star -like color and objects flying incredibly fast in the north direction. They were initially traveling in a wedge/V formation but soon scattered positions amongst each other before fading out into the distance. I'm not sure if this information is relevant but about 20 to 30 minutes later I saw what looks like a green fire ball head towards the Atlantic Ocean. It was very bright and very low in the sky.

I noticed a warm white light travelling across the sky,I was in sale,Cheshire the object was quite far away.it was travelling in a north east direction and a slowish speed.it reached what looked like winters hill in Horwich,which has a large antenna with red light on it.the object stopped then went very bright moved up and down which must of been at speed as I was 20miles away and it was quick,then lowered out of site,i continued watching for another 15minutes but it didn’t reappear.the light was permanent and not flashing and was always as if shining in my direction .there is Barton airport situated between me and winters hill and I know military aircraft land there but I can’t find a way to find out if any aircraft landed there at that time,thank

Littleton, MA
Sighting details: Today, Feb. 10, 2023, I was outside from 4:50 to 4:55 am local time. The sky was clear, no clouds, the moon was bright. Over the course of two or three minutes, I saw star-like objects move about one or two degrees down toward the star Ras al hague a.k.a. 55 Oph located at 17h 34m 55.4s/+40d 10m J2000.0 according to my Stellarium app. They appeared and disappeared one at a time. They had no discernable shape, though my impression is that they seemed a bit fatter than stars. One of the objects looked like a fairly bright star, brighter than 55 Oph and not as bright as Vega. It was white. It appeared, descended, and disappeared in about one second. It seemed to move slower than a meteor. After about 30 seconds, another object repeated the same sequence in the same location on the sky. I waited after for a couple of minutes after seeing 5 or 6 repetitions, but did not see any more during that time. I went back inside the house. Background: I am a retired Math and Science professor. I taught at a college in Boston. I am frequently out before dawn for a few minutes to look for shooting stars, satellites, planes, etc.

Monroe, WA
I was at work, the sun had just went down and the sky was clear when noticed a large light low in the sky not very far from me it was not making any sound and was hovering in one spot. It was way to large to be a drone It was difficult to tell if it was round or egg shaped. The lighted object was solid white with no other colors. There was a smaller lighted object further back to the S of first light. I took a short video and some pictures. After a few minutes the first object began moving slowly to the S. Another small aircraft with blinking lights and making noise like an airplane flew close to the first object and that's when it began to move. I left work 15 minutes later. While on hwy I saw same object again at the same low altitude hovering possibly over the Skycomish river. I saw 3 different crafts in the sky at same time, one being an airplane.

Cliffside park, NJ
I was having a cigarette on the roof of my apartment and above me to the ENE direction toward the New York city skyline almost directly above I witnessed a glowing star like object. This light would glow as bright as Venus or Jupiter though those planets were to the west of me on this night. The light would disappear for 10-15 seconds then light up again for a few seconds. The light would make no noise and was completely stationary. The sky was completely cloudless and the light was higher at least than any commercial aircraft.

Between Sacramento and Ione CA. Near Rancho Seco nuclear, CA
I was driving, at first I noticed a big circle shape of a couple of different colors of light. It was really clear and I cud see it well. The lights would change color and it was like darting around. I watched for a min. Then realized i needed to get a pic at least. While I was fumbling g with my phone, trying to keep my eyes on it and turn camera on it almost instantaneously shot west about 20 miles I think from above the city of ione to above Rancho Seco nuclear plant, and as it did the light blinked out the came back on but dull and thats when I got the video and recorded til it disappeared. It's taken me awhile to report because I can't believe what I saw was real and I didn't want to waste an investigators time, but what I saw wasn't normal. I wish the video was better and that I had video of what it was like before it went dull, it was huge and bright and clear.

Walland, TN
Driving home around 12:30 am my partner and I saw a red light. The light was not huge, but it was similar to a red light on a plane. Maybe three times the size. There was no blinking and it was stationary. Not much higher than the top of the mountain. In the left hand lane a blount county police suv was parked without lights, except the bar above lit with white. Very eerie.
