Burbank, CA
At approximately 4:30 in the morning on July 4 and I walked out onto my second-story balcony that faces east to smoke a cigarette. I heard a humming noise coming from above so I looked up into the sky and saw an extremely large white craft flying west directly over my building. It had a flat bottom, slightly rounded sides, and white/blue/red lights on the craft. I immediately thought UFO mothership. I’ve never seen anything this large flying this low, and ran back inside to grab my phone. I was able to snap two photos and wanted to grab a video, but the craft flew over my building and out of sight before obtaining. It has bothered me ever since, not knowing whether there was some type of blimp (closest object I can relate the craft to) or truly some type of unknown aircraft flying over the city during those hours. I just can’t shake the image of this craft out of my mind since July 4. Even though it has been some time since my sighting I felt it was applica! ble to report.

Port Angeles, WA
UFO sighting On July 3, 2021 at approximately 1540 hrs. while sitting in the backyard of a residence located in Port Angeles Washington, a group of four of us observed three silver in appearance objects high in the sky over Olympic National Park. We retrieved a pair of binoculars to take a closer look. The following is a description of what we observed. The objects resembled shiny silver doughnuts. Each of the objects were tumbling end over end. One of the objects appeared to have something whitish in color trailing from it, although it was difficult to see given the distance. The objects were located more or less in a horizontal line in the atmosphere when viewed against the horizon. We observed the objects approximately 40 minutes. Through our course of observation, the objects moved north towards Canada.

Okarche, OK
Saw a distant object in the sky East of the walk I was on. There was a lot of glare on my screen, so it was hard to see what images I was getting. Didn't realize the object was rotating until I got back inside to view my video. As far as I know, I didn't get probed or impregnated during my sighting. Kidding aside, I'm not sure if the variations of the object at the end of my video are from it changing shapes, or if it's from the different perspectives as it rotated. The sound on the video is from my footage. It didn't appear to be making any sound. The object appeared to be too small to be floating by means of lighter than air gas, or heated air. My best guess would be that the object was about 10ft in width. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

Solon, OH
On June 23rd, 2021 at approximately 3:15pm, in Solon, Ohio, I had an unusual and unexplained sighting directly overhead. It was a very clear and sunny afternoon with a lot of smaller low altitude clouds like stratus or cumulus(looked like cotton balls). I was five to ten miles from the nearest airport, and there were small private planes in the area at the time of the sighting. I was standing in a parking lot when I heard what sounded like a low flying plane that was revving up. It sounded bigger than a Cessna 150 due to the high volume level, but I couldn't see it, probably because of the large building I was next to. That got me to looking around to see if I could spot it. I looked all around, then straight up. Directly above me was one of those smaller clouds I mentioned. I'm estimating it's altitude at between 6 and 10 thousand feet. Approaching the cloud, not moving very fast, was an object that at first glance I thought was a helicopter. I say that because I could see no wings and it had the general shape of a copter, but more rectangular with kind of a military look. It also had a thinner trailing section that resembled a helicopter's boom. It moved in a straight line. The odd thing is, I could not see any rotors. I was right under it and should have been able to see the main rotor spinning. At about the same time, the loud propeller sound I had been hearing started to fade, and I was listening for the signature whooping sound that helicopters make. I never heard that sound. I continued to watch as the object actually flew over the small cloud and I continued to watch because I wanted to see it after it passed over the cloud. I must mention here that it was fairly calm and the clouds were moving slowly. I continued to watch as I anticipated the object coming into view again. It was taking so long that I wondered if it was a helicopter that was hovering above the cloud. It shouldn't have taken more than about 15 seconds or so for the object to pass the cloud, given the observed speed of it going over. I never saw it again, and I don't think I ever heard it. As I continued to watch, the cloud began breaking up and dissipating rapidly. From my perspective, it was as if the object just disappeared . I have a lifelong interest in ufology, and was long ago convinced that they represent a real nuts and bolts phenomenon. However, I'm not convinced of their origin one way or another. I'm skeptical of a lot of stories I've heard and seen and I try to remain objective. I also have a lifelong interest in anything that flies, especially jets and rockets. I consider myself to be a decent observer when it comes to identifying aircraft, at least in general terms. I would like to know if anyone else has seen an object of the same description.

Grand Junction, CO
We took some photos of our trip from Gateway, Co. to Moab, Utah- through back country dirt road. Took a lot of pics. About a month later- 10-14 days ago- I examined the pics for wildlife by expanding them and noticed this blue-green thing in the clouds. I had taken 5 or 6 in that area and got 4 pics with the UFO in it. As it ‘flew’ (or slowed down or prepared to land) it seemed to change from blue-green to a normal saucer shape (pic 3 $ 4). I showed family and friends then contacted you.

All start when I was taking photos of Georgetown for a photography contest I noticed the anomaly on the photo. I report to the UFO center they are no longer I noticed I believe now they are working for the government. When I report the site they respond that is wasn’t any objet claim it was a bird. I didn’t believe what the specialist says. I just keep watching the sky. I have many pictures with objects I am glad finally was detected. I was with a friend asking her to look at the sky will I was taking the photos. Those object can’t be seen in plain site the eye can’t see but the camera. I sending you the picture I took at the Buffalo Bridge at DC

Greenville, SC
I was facing west and watching the sunset in a parking lot across the street from the downtown municipal airport. There were no planes on the ground or in the air. There were no birds flying and no wind. There was no sound of any kind other than birds chirping in the trees. I shot two pictures less than five seconds apart with my cell phone camera. I did not see or hear anything in the sky. The second witness with me quickly noticed an object in one of the pictures which we could not identify. Neither one of us saw the object in the sky or heard it come or go, but it appeared in one of two photographs taken less than 5 seconds apart. The object in the photograph is completely black with no lights of any kind and it has an irregular elongated shape.

Pleasant Hill, TN
Last Saturday, June 12th approx. 620pm I was coming home when a storm blew up out of nowhere. Really windy and dark skies but no rain. When I stopped at the crossroads I snapped this picture of the clouds and by then sunlit trees. Just a pretty picture. Next day when showing it to a friend, I felt like I should check out the clouds. (took pic last year that had strange things in it) was I ever shocked. Please zoom in on the sky and search the whole sky in the picture. There are many (many) weird looking UFOs? In it. Please get back to me as soon as possible and let me know what you think.

San Mateo, FL
For two nights we noticed a bright light in our southern ski.It seemed to just hover but move slightly.First thoughts was some locals with drones.only problem was it was there all night didn't think anyone would just stay in the same spot for so long let alone have power source to last as long.Night two same thing.Starting to get annoyed thinking nosey neighbors.On that night I would get up every hour or two go outside to see if it was there.About 06:30 I got up to let dogs out and spotted it,knowing the sun would be coming up soon decided to stay and watch it till daylight.which I did.I noticed as the sunlight come up it was getting higher and higher in sky at about 80% in sky I could see it and it was some type of white craft that seem to change into a cloud.I have pictures of it and a video.At this time I got my Girlfriend up to see it.When see come out Two objects come out the southwest ski full daylight now and made two runs from north to south long loo! ps no noise just like they were floating but able to maneuver at ease.After the loops they were gone and have not been back.They were not drones and they were about 100 ft long (guess)We live not to far from Cape Canaveral I'm not ruling out something military.I have pictures and video and will try to send.

Lodi, NJ
Driving home from work. I saw four bright lights hovering in the sky. As i make the turn into my home the craft slowly started to drift. Literally no sound just glided and disappeared. At first i thought it was a drone, but this way way to big to be a drone. It was night time couldn't see the shape nor color. I can say is that it had four bright lights and it hovered in the sky for about 15 seconds and quietly disappeared.

Denver, CO
The crafts were cube shaped and casted a shadow on the hillside. They had distinct edges giving shape to a cube. I could see the shadows being created on its surface. It was very far away from me but I could see the lighting on its surface. It stayed at the Same elevation. I thought it was a helicopter or hot air balloon. If it was a hot air balloon it was all black and the first time I had ever seen an all black airballoon.this craft was massive and not afraid of people seeing it. I could not have been the only person to see this massive cube hovering above our highway. I watched it all the way from one site to the next roughly 20 minutes and it loved strategic and parallel to our highway 25. Needs investigated. What was that? I was not under any influence of drugs or alcohol. I was of right mind and could make wholeful judgement. I have never seen anything like this in my life. It stopped me in my tracks and all I could do is look at this massive object in awe.

Confluence, PA
I thought it might be a hot air balloon, air glider plane, or a hanging fire work released from a Confluence resident. I stopped the pet stroller and took 1 photo and a short video of the object with my Motorola smartphone. Then, waited to see if the object would fly over the campground. However, it just stayed in place. After several minutes, the object moved quickly straight up into the sky. It was fast. It finally just disappeared into the night sky. Shrunk to a small orange dot before disappearing. I waited there for several minutes. It didn't return. I kept looking for it as I continued my walk to my house. It appears I was the lone witness to this event. Baffling, fascinating, and clearly like nothing I have ever seen in my life.

La Vista NE, NE
A group of us were sitting in the driveway on Memorial day 2021. I looked up and saw an object in front of the high clouds that looked like a blob of electrical solder that had been melted from solder wire. It was shiny, didn't have a distinct shape but rather seemed to be a little fluid. It stayed in place for 3 to 4 minutes, then was gone after I looked away. I estimate the altitude of 4000 to 7000 feet. I would have been directly over the Bellevue or Papillion Nebraska towns which are suburbs of Omaha.

Pocatello, ID
My husband just barely left the house. He called me to tell me hurry up and look outside there's the UFO. I threw my shoes on grabbed a jacket and my phone. As soon as I went outside I seen a string of lights floating through the sky. It looked to be all the same formation, object, it looked to be all in the same line as to be one vehicle. I pulled out my phone and recorded I think 5 seconds before it disappeared in the sky.

South Salt Lake, UT
A tight line formation of lights which all emitted unchanging white lights with various degrees of brightness slowly flew overhead, making no noise as they did so. They flew in from the southwest, heading eastward. I grabbed two others shortly after noticing this phenomenon, and showed them what I was seeing. All of us saw the same thing and had no clear explanation. At around 10:25pm MST, not long after it passed overhead, the lights started to fade and quickly disappeared without a trace. All observers were between the ages of 19-26, and the sighting was pure chance as the original sighter noticed it after getting back from a nightly walk. 2/3 observers were under no influence of any substance within 24hrs of the sighting.

Boise, NH
My daughter - a registered nurse - was flying back to Boise from Boston yesterday, and she says she saw a UFO. She said that as the plane was approaching Boise, just as they were breaking through the cloud layer, she was sitting in the left window seat right over the wing. She was looking out over the wing and an object, “about the size of a football” flew right over the wing toward the wing tip, traveling in the opposite direction (toward the rear of the plane). She said it was very metallic in color, but could not describe the shape. She said it was not shaped like a football and said it had (angles). She asked the pilot as she left the plane if he had seen it saying “ I asked the pilot he said no but kind of looked suspicious lol like he didn’t want to tell me yes lol. . . The flight attendant was like what was it? And I was like I don’t know that’s why I’m asking lol”.
