At 4:16AM in the morning of October 29th, 2023, I decided to take photos of the full moon + clouds. I took the photos and noticed, what appeared to be a star to me, a singular, bright light, maintaining one spot for over 5 minutes. I went inside to show the photos to my family, talked for about 5-7 minutes then brought my nephew outside to see the moon/clouds. I pointed out the “star” to my nephew, and not soon after, we both notice it quickly drop down from the sky, at least 200 feet, then go straight back up, above the clouds. I looked at my photos and noticed the object was hanging directly below cloud cover, right on the edge of the cloud. I know it wasn’t a plane, it maintained the same space for an extended period of time and the speed it accelerated to as it dropped would be unmaintainable for an aircraft (possible a missile could maneuver like this, but it couldn’t sit stationary). The object was in the western sky, situated to the bottom left of the moon.

Left my house and noticed Venus or whatever in the sky and stopped to admire what I thought was also Mars and got in my car. Realized that the orange thing was too big to be mars and kept staring as I was leaving neighborhood, which is when it started blinking briefly. I stopped my car at the exit of the neighborhood and noticed it was dark in the middle, as opposed to a solid orange circle. The orange ring did a loop and slowly moved southeast before disappearing. Forgive me if this is too hard to believe but even the deer were fixated on the orange ring.

Taking moon shots, I noticed aligned lights over a nearby mountain. The lights became idle waiting for a stray light that appeared to be at the base of the mountain which ascended up to the group, then one by one they disappeared into the sky

Blue Light standing still for at least 2 minutes and then went straight down and stopped and then went to left at a high rate of speed and stopped and then took off again out of sight . No way a drone Drones don’t move this fast .

My husband called to me to come out back last night (@9:45 PM) to 'see the light." What we saw was three (3) lights in a circle enclosed in a circle. My husband said he saw it 'move jerkily back and forth, and then stopped moving. When I got there, it had stopped moving and I saw those three lights, and then they disappeared and the object we saw was one bright light. At that point, we started guessing what it could be...Airplane was ruled out, it was not moving, no noise, it wasn't a copter, for the same reasons, it wasn't anything we could figure out, including a satellite. We both started taking photos with our cell phones and later I was back in the house, I used my finger to spread the light in the photos closer in. It was an amazing blob of light, and in each frame for each photo, they went from a point of light in the sky, to these amorphous blobs of light, very bright and pretty stationary in the sky.

A bright circular light with red flare spotted high in the sky with a slight decline. It leveled out as the flare diminished into a short but persistent tail. It then changed direction slightly then when went upwards with great force with a visible orange ark in front as though it was going too fast. Similar to the look of an asteroid entering the atmosphere it behaved the same as it went upwards back into the the sky and eventually too distant to see into space.

Noticed a very bright light in the sky. Called my husband to look at it. He thought it was a star. It was not flashing. It stayed still for about 2 hours. When I looked worn binoculars it appeared there was a red light on top of it. So that rules out a star. I searched google and it stated nasa has a satellite that would be in view for about 10 mins. Then continued to observe and around 11/00 or had moved a bit east. I did not want to look any longer because it was absolutely terrified. I then planted myself in the basement with no lights on just the tv. As I viewed the cameras set up outside I saw quite a bit of activity. Around 6:00 am I went upstairs and looked out through the blinds and saw 2 bright lights moving very quickly coming towards my house from the north. I saw a few houses down across the street, on a ranch home roof beings jumping and waiving at light coming towards them. I also showed my husband on the ring camera a large shadow on door on my living room. When I went back to view the footage that I observed on fhe love views it was not there.

Rockledge, FL
Exiting home front door - Walking towards my Car - Home faces South - Absolutely clear sky with lots of stars - Suddenly overhead I saw a brilliant Round White Glowing Object that traveled instantly from the North towards the South until I could no longer see it. I saw No Aircraft within my viewing areas. Per my perspective it was not flying within our air space , It was way way out there. The object size was about the size of the head of a pencil eraser. The outer edges of the object seemed to be rough, Not a smooth edge. FYI - I have lived in this area since 1957 (Space Coast) Worked @ space center years ago - I have witnessed many many launches.

The bright light was clearly over the water and not land. There was a much smaller less bright light be side it. And later in the video you can see dashes of other objects. When zooming in the object looked like a perfect circle with a ring around it. I video taped for about 3.5 minutes and nothing happened so I got back in bed. I laid there for a while (still able to see clearly out of the window) but fell asleep. When I woke up it was still dark out but that light or whatever it was, was gone. There was a plane in the area and you could tell it was a plane because it had a blinking light and was moving. This was not doing either. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

The craft moved slowly eastward as it changed brightness every few seconds then an airliner appeared under it in the sky and it disappeared. Possibly a lone satellite not starlink I looked at it using 15 power binoculars [NUFORC annotation: Satellite - Possible]

It appeared as if it was moving up and down a little bit to the side but it definitely look like it was spinning rotating and the lights were yellow and red coming off of it. You can kind of see an aura. My video shows it really quite clear but you have to zoom in with my phone while you’re playing video, it appears to change shape or the light patter and then would just hover and stay still then appear spinning.. i took pictures but, the pictures appear that it’s at a 45° angle and you can see the light shooting off of it as a beam like a 45° beam but when you zoom in in the video it looks completely different than a picture.the pictures appear that it’s at a 45° angle and you can see the light shooting off of it as a beam like a 45° beam but when you zoom in in the video it looks completely different than the picture.

I live in Austin TX and while I was driving down Riverside Friday night I looked in the sky and saw what looked like a really bright star but this light had a surrounding glow to it that the regular stars didn’t have . So I decided to record it and once I started recorded I noticed it was moving really fast towards south Austin and when it would take off it would only leave what looked like the reaction to breaking the sound barrier although this flying object never made noise or left trails . I have a clear video of the object if anyone would like to see Falcon 9 SpaceX SLC-40, Cape Canaveral SFS [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Possible]

We were outside of a restaurant and we spotted a large ball/circle of light we almost thought it was the moon but knew it wasn’t when we saw it moving pretty fast. It then shot a circle of air or gas in front of itself while also moving forward. Later it split into 2 different crafts while still moving it was also COMPLETELY silent. No sound at all.

My wife and I saw a bright circle in the sky similar to a star, except it was brighter and formed a perfect circular shape. It appeared to be moving very quickly. It released smoke or gas in the air, which was released in a circular form, similar to someone blowing a ring a smoke from a cigarette. It was flying higher than commercial aircraft at the same time. It was moving southwest from 78660 at approximately 1930 on 13 October 2023. My fear was that it could be releasing hazardous toxins in the air.
