While looking at the sky I noticed one cloud was quite bright compared to the others, initially I thought the moon was behind it making it glow but the light was a bright blue colour. I stared at it for a good 30 seconds trying to figure out if it was a light beam from some sort of attraction or night club, even though there are none in the area. The light then darted to the left and the whole cloud disappeared. I didn’t see it go across the sky, I’m not sure if it was too fast for me to see or if the light/cloud only moved fast and suddenly for a certain distance

Greenbrier, AR
Two C-130 were flying west to east in a line. The unknown craft approached very rapidly from the west and a little south behind the trailing C-130 and passed both C-130s within seconds. I have never seen a craft move at this speed. My view extended the entire horizon under very clear skies. No sound.

DESERT HOT SPRINGS. Sky Valley, CA
I drive this route daily and these were new to me. No movement. No green or red lights. Just stationary. I saw them for approximately five minutes. The east light disappeared first followed by the westerly light.. very bright. Similar to brightest star in the sky. DK it was not a plane or planet

Oak View, CA
I saw a light with my binoculars but not the naked eye going across the sky, faster than satellites that I see with the naked eye & much slower than a shooting star, no flashing lights, no noise. I saw a total of six or seven, a couple minutes apart, some longer apart, all going towards the south, but at different angles, some more towards southeast. I have looked every night again and didn’t see any until February 12 around 7 o’clock, and I saw the same thing over a period of about 20 minutes, but I only saw three, again with binoculars, only not with a naked eye. No trails, auras, tails. Just white lights the size of a star you would see with naked eye but I was using binoculars. The reason I even spotted them because I was looking for the comet. I often view satellites, but they go much slower than the lights I saw. I would like to know what I am not real clear on the time for both dates, the times are approximate. Thank you.

Between Goldfield and Tonopah, NV
At around 7:45 pm on 2/3/23, east of the US 95 N going towards Tonopah through Nevada, my mother and I witnessed an unexplainable atmospheric anomaly. The event could be described as a two conscecutive flashes of holographic or iridescent light, similar to the rainbow sheen on a compact disk, but translucent, luminescent, and large enough to obscure a decent portion of the landscape. The flashes occured less than 2 seconds apart, and lasted no more than a second each, longer than a flash of lightning. The light could be seen in the middle of the sky, like how a rainbow would cross from the upper atmosphere to the ground. Each flash was almost vertical, with a slight diagonal tilt, but largely irregular. Please refer to the illustration to get a better idea. The weather last night was clear, 45 degrees, no clouds or rain. Winds were about 15 MPH, the moon was almost full. The exact location was hard to pinpoint, but based on google maps I can give the estimated coordinates. 37°47'13.7"N 117°13'15.2"W . The sign for Silver Peak was to the left, and about 4 miles past the sign is where we saw the light flashes. According to maps, the area we saw this in is in front of Hasbrouck Peak. The flashes of light were localized to one area, only to the east and in front of the mountain, appearing to obscure the base of the mountain from your view. There was nothing that appeared to be the origin of the lights, it seemed as if the sky was “bent” in the area that the flashes occured. There were no earthquakes, no abnormal weather that could account for atmospheric disturbance. conversation I had about the experience as it was fresh in my mind: she said that it looks like a hologram You sent like they set up a blanket of fake sky You sent cause it was around the bend where we saw it You sent right as youre going past goldfield You sent it seemed like the light of the moon refracted in a really fucked prismatic way You sent like a bent DVD or a broken LCD screen You sent really bright was not a traditional prismatic rainbow (not roygbiv)

Vero Beach, FL
I was driving on Rd 60 from Vero Beach to Central Florida when at approximately between 9:55-10:07 pm, I got a glimpse of what appeared as a bright light that pulsated from the center to its edges in what I could perceive on a lateral axis. The light was very bright and it lasted a few seconds. This occurred in the middle of a dark and empty field (near/a few miles) before reaching the FPL Fort Drum Solar Energy Center. I felt confused as I tried to understand what I was looking at. At first, I thought the event was probably a general-aviation aircraft turning its landing lights on. I was mesmerized and proceeded to lower the volume of the audiobook I was listening to identify any possible sounds, lights, or clues to give meaning to what I had witnessed. My mind raced and quickly believed it was probably a flare or a glare, but at that instant, it pulsated again. The second sight can be described as a strong and bright flare that pulsated from the middle towards the outside while making an angled upward motion; I could see it to my left, the same as the first sight. It also appears to be pulsating on its axis. I reduced my car’s speed and tried to grab my phone to record a video. Unsuccessfully to identify another sight of the “light,” a few minutes after the fact, I decided to proceeded to take a screen capture of my GPS screen in order to identify the area of the sighting. I’m not sure if this is an important contribution. I’ve looked up how to report my experience and came across the FAA page providing information which directed me to this site.

While skygazing for the 'green comet' I witnessed two lights, seemingly connected though it was too dark to see if they actually were. There was no noise from the object, the lead light was a very dim white, followed by an extremely bright white light trailing a fair distance behind the lead light. The light approached from the north and slowly curved and turned east, it was moving slowly, almost like a blimp, and seemed to be fairly large if it was a single object. No aircraft were visible on the ADSB Exchange or Flightradar24 at the time, and local traffic control streams from like ATC didn't mention any objects (This object would have been in the controlled airspace for Pittsburgh International.) To determine I wasn't crazy I made two relatives come outside to view the object, they confirmed they could also see it. After about five minutes or so the lead light faded, turning a dim red before vanishing, the trailing light doing the same several seconds after. Neither light was near the horizon or any object that would have obscured them. Planes are normal here (especially large military tankers) but they're always loud, this object was completely silent. I took a photo with my phone but the phone camera is poor quality, but I'll attach it anyway. Depicted is only the rear brighter light, the smaller light isn't visible in the photo.

Identified[Aero Tvf] De Amman (Jo.Am) Vers Orly, Autre · France
Le témoin pilote de ligne (T1) signale l'observation le 31 janvier 2023, lors d'un vol TVF reliant Amman (Jordanie) à l’aéroport de Paris-Orly, de plusieurs points lumineux défilant pendant 5 à 10 secondes et dont la luminosité varie fortement avant de disparaitre. Deux axes récurrents sont empruntés par ces points lumineux. L’observation est également réalisée par son collègue (T2) qui ne témoignera pas. L’observation débute à 20h10 (UTC) alors que l’avion survole le sud de la ville de Milan (Italie) et se termine au-dessus du Lac Léman. Elle dure une trentaine de minutes. Au cours de celle-ci, T1 prend une vidéo. D’étrangeté faible et de bonne consistance (plusieurs témoins, vidéo du PAN), ce cas s’avère être une observation de flashs de satellites Starlink (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). La description et l’aspect visuel du PAN sont très cohérents avec ce type d’observation : une durée d’observation longue située dans un même secteur limité du ciel, plusieurs points lumineux mobiles variant en luminosité avant de disparaitre. Une vérification sur Stellarium, après identification des étoiles visibles sur la vidéo du PAN, permet de confirmer que ce dernier se trouve à 45° à la verticale de la position apparente du Soleil, alors que le Soleil se trouve à environ 38° sous l’horizon. Ces conditions sont tout à fait conformes à celles permettant le phénomène de reflet des rayons du Soleil sur des éléments structurels des satellites Starlink, appelé aussi « cluster flares ». Une vérification des passages satellitaires permet de confirmer que de nombreux satellites Starlink passaient à proximité de l’étoile Markab, selon 2 axes principaux correspondant à ceux relevés sur la vidéo du PAN. Le cas est classé A, observation de flashs de satellites Starlink en orbite opérationnelle. Cette observation présente de très grandes similarités avec d’autres cas enquêtés par le GEIPAN et publiés sur le site du GEIPAN. [AERO AFR] de ABIDJAN (CI.AB) vers PARIS (95) 08.04.2023. [AERO TVF] de EREVAN (AM.ER) vers ORLY (94) 13.12.2023 [AERO AFR] de KINSHASA (CD.KN) vers PARIS (75) 10.04.2023 Ces quatre cas servent d’appui à une note technique d’enquête et à la publication d’une actualité.

El Granada, CA
On the evening of Jan 31, 2023, my wife and I went to have dinner at Barbara FishTrap. I took my Nikon D850 camera to take some pictures at the Radar Dome at Pillar Point Harbor, El Granada, near Half Moon Bay, Ca. After finishing eating take out dinner in our SUV, I took some pictures of the Radar Dome at the parking lot. I was surprised to see these objects when I viewed in Photoshop the next day. The image shot in jpg format and the image was not modified. I am not a professional photography; it is only my hobby. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Possible]

Driving along River Rd. Passenger in my vehicle pointed out glowing orange object in sky during daytime. Neither of us had seen something like this before. Looked like a bright orange sphere with two tails pointed vertical. It was just hovering in one area. I tried to take a picture but it wouldn’t capture on phone. I drove off so not sure how long it remained. I haven’t seen it since.

Long red lights almost diamond shape floated slowly across the sky in a line formation distanced the same length from each other. They would then fade as they each got to the same point in the sky.

National Park, NJ
I went outside to my backyard to relieve myself because my family member at the time was using the bathroom, usually that’s what I do if I have to go bad. The way my backyard is setup is where it is covered but there’s and exit to the street so as I was looking up to the sky an object caught my eye. It was somewhat bright and circular. It was moving fast but it didn’t seem to be an airplane because of its speed and it couldn’t have been a drone because it was too bright and it most likely would have been out of distance from a drone operator. My hometown National Park is a geographically set up different then other towns, there’s an airport just right across the river. So close if your talking out in the streeet you have to pause your conversation until the plane goes past, especially at the local Park, the “ ACA “ building. So when you live near a town with a lot of aircraft flying above you get to know the sounds and sights QUITE often. I could have been mistaken for something else but I don’t think so, the odds are likely but something just stuck out tonight. I still would like to report it because I’ve heard that north jersey has heavy UFO sightings, could be mistaken be use I heard it from a comedian who is a native Joey Diaz. Could be wrong but if that is true, it was the right thing to have this reported.

Three orange-red circles were moving north, and almost collided with an aircraft that suddenly changed direction when it was barely meters away from whatever the lights were. The light came from the outer rings, and they appeared to be hollow in the middle. No sound, no trail.

Bridgehampton, NY
I was driving home from up the island and as I was making a left onto scuttle hole road when I noticed 3 bright white lights in a triangle pattern (1 light at each corner of the triangle but no visible craft was seen, just the lights) and as I made the left on to scuttle hole road I tracked the lights heading NW at an accelerated rate. The three lights then became four lights and the lights were all of a sudden lined up next to each other but not in a straight line. You could tell that each light was an individual object at this point. As I traveled North on scuttle hole road I lost track of the lights as they headed into the clouds. The hole experience lasted about 20 seconds. Im sure other people on the highway saw the lights as well as they seemed too bright and too low to the ground to be an airplane of sorts.

The game camera on a deer feeder captured a potential plasma ball. The game camera is programmed to take a picture about every five minutes. The conditions were foggy. The feeder and various cameras have operated at this location for seven years, and this has never been recorded before. Regular type photo included for perspective.

Since the summer we thought they were stars but we noticed they move and change size shape and color and look like they are hovering lower to the ground. When you zoom in they spark, change shape and color and hover in the sky and they move along the sky like how stars move over the night period. But they look different.

The star blinks and moves across the horizon at night. It blinks like an airplane but dosnt move! Now if you walk away and come back and look again it's moved it moves to the right in a straight line. Iv seen this at night during the winter months for about 4 years now. It used to be right in front of my house this year its further down the beach but it's still here! Iv tried recording it dosnt work my phone can't pick it up.
