I was cleaning my car out and I happen to like to watch the stars on occasion. I took a break only to draw my focus to a almost floating object go across the sky and disappear. It didn't fade it was poof gone. I have seen planty of planes and starts and shooting stars this is not it.

Littleton, CO
While doing a walk with my family up a hill from which you can see the Lockheed Martins campus, I notice the strange bright object that at first look to me as an airplane from a far. What struck me was the fact that no aircraft (commercial) can fly that low in that location and it wasn’t moving, it was still in place. I quickly tell my wife to see if she can see it and verify what I’m seeing, but as I tell her I notice it move a “step to the left” (as I’m looking at it from my perspective). We she couldn’t see it so we decided to continue moving forward up the hill to get a better view, when we get to the top it was gone. As we continue and I’m telling her I notice a sphere shape object (white dim/translucent white)near the lower peak of the mountain, to the left (my viewing perspective), I quickly tell her to look and used some black birds flying near as reference and at the moment that she looks that way, it quickly started disappearing, like it did starting from my left (viewing perspective) to the right gradually whilst becoming more translucent until it was gone. It was in a matter of seconds. It’s like it knew I told my wife, because it waited right until she look at that same spot (could be a coincidence right?!) that it disappeared.

A silent, glowing, oval object was seen. It was slower and higher than a plane.

Punta Gorda, FL
I was travelling South from South County Regional Park towards Carmelita Street... I happened to look up and noticed an Oval Metallic Thing traveling very fast from West to East at approximately 9:11 AM. At first, I thought it might be a plane as there is a small airport nearby. I looked away for a brief second and it was gone. After thinking about it more, I realized the craft was flying too low and too fast for it to be landing nearby... Nothing like I have ever seen before. This craft did not have wings.

Queen Valley, AZ
It was slowly hovering above Queen Valley AZ, just below the clouds which were more solid and shaped like a submarine stretching to the west. It was motionless when i first saw it then it slowly moved Westward, Altitude approximately, 3-4k ft up, No shape of wings of aircraft or bird. Just oval/oblong dark. It began moving slowly towards Phoenix to the west, It did pick up speed but not too fast. Faster than a single engine airplane can go but slower than a jet. It kept close to the bottom of the cloud for cover. It finally disappeared into the cloud bank far to the west. I did not take a video as I was too stunned to believe it myself. Most importantly, it was dead calm silent at that time and I could hear nothing.

In the image attached with this report, please look at the sky. A large blob of light with a bright white centre and an oval Corona in blue around is seen in the sky. More impressions of the blue Corona can also be seen directly above and below the sighting, as if movement was captured. Two very similar pictures were taken in the moment incidentally, one of them had this UFO in it and the other one (with the exact same phone position and cloud formation) did not. I did not observe this UFO in the present, only while looking back at my pictures afterwards. It quickly disappeared as the other image did not capture it.

Saint George, UT
While making deliveries on River Road, I saw what I thought was a drone in the sky. It was large, roughly the size of an SUV, and hovering between 70 to 120 feet in the sky over a department store. I pulled over to watch it, but didn't think to take pictures because it had red flashing indicator lights on it, which I took to mean it was following FAA regulations. It began to suddenly drift toward the east hill, moving at maybe 30mph. I began driving again but couldn't find it on the other side. It didn't make any sound, and the more I thought of it in retrospect, it bothered me how big it was. I've never seen a drone that large, and though it was dark, I made out no wings or hoops that might have held propellers. It was shaped like an oval, but it had sharp edges along the front and back, almost like a car. In addition to the red light that seemed to flash every few seconds, there was a white indicator light as well, but I don't recall the frequency with which it flashed. I called the police station later that morning and they didn't cite any other reports. I know it wasn't a plane or a helicopter. And I'm yet to see a drone that's more than 15 feet long.

I was leaving to go for work. I looked up to see a small lit object very high altitude. At first it was next to a star but pulled out to the side. Change of direction. Moving quite quickly. Then started heading across the sky quite quickly I started to film. The object the changed direction and velocity a few times. Which I also thought was weird. I filmed for as long as I could. Then left for work. Didn’t think about it as work was busy then looked at it mid morning and I am very confused about what have I have witnessed. This thing looked like a spinning gimbal or cube in a black energy circle that pulsed with an aura of energy. Almost like a transfer of energy between the craft and the exterior or the black energy circle

Oval shape solid light moving slow and at low altitude with no sound. Its lights doesnt shine brightness to anything and doesnt have the characteristics of a normal light have. Its just solid contained light in its self.

Monticello, KY
While fishing. We saw something, that we can’t explain. There was a long, cigar shaped, rather large object with NON flashing lights along the length of it. It produced absolutely no sound and it was very quite on the lake that time of night. It was relatively slow moving(not fast enough to support aircraft flight). NOT Helicopters or any type aircraft that we could associate with this)(or we’d have heard them for sure). To me, it was opaque. Almost to the point you could see through it, but not quite. We don’t know what we saw, but it was NOT explainable to us.

Franklin County (northeast), WA
V rural location. Monday 8/7/23 weird light to west, maybe 930 pm +/-, party 1 thinks it’s a rig coming but then a few minutes later realizes nothing went by. V bright, single light, kind of slowly pulses, goes away for awhile, comes back, sometimes orange-ish. We watch through back window for maybe 10, then one party goes to see what it is, thinking maybe people spotlighting coyotes. Fades out when starts pickup. No weird tracks/vehicles/anything when he goes down there, drives a ways and doesn’t see anything. Friday 8/12 to west out bedroom window maybe around 1030, looks like it’s above neighbor shop but to north. Too big to be a star, bright, orangish. Kind of hovers and slightly moves around but stays generally in the same place. Almost seems like it has a crescent shape, oriented w/concave upward, at beginning but could have been glare from window. Stays for about 20-30 min, no real change so eventually go to bed. One party steps outside but doesn’t hear anything. One party doesn’t think this one is as weird. Need to ask Jeff neighbors if they have a drone. 8/15 same thing but started out smaller/further away? Not crescent shape at beginning. Around 1140. Eventually go to bed again, didn’t wake up second party. Still haven’t caught up w Neighbors 8/16 Neighbors don’t have drone 8/18 around 1050pm, light starts off “lower” and kind of off se corner of shed (but I think it’s further away). Watch it for about an hour and a half before going to bed. Hovers around, kind of zips back and forth up and down, but overall makes its way higher and further to south. By time I go to bed looks like it’s up “above” power line and over south of lot. Went outside, no noise. Looked at it through binoculars outside, orangish color seems to be coming from a bunch of orange lights around outside of shape. Inside is more muted color and looks wavy. Hard to get binos to focus really great on it, or it was too far away for them to focus well. Movements back/forth and up/down easy to see through binos. Dogs unbothered. May have been a second one higher up/further away off to north but honestly didn’t notice it til maybe 1230 and was too tired to watch it for too long. Pictures are extremely underwhelming, but I guess upside is that they are obviously not a star.

We were watching the meteor shower. Objects stayed in same location. On the large object looked like a circular disc on top. The objects were on the horizon on the other side of the lake.

The Dalles, OR
It was moving from west to east. We were watching the meteor shower and this faint, light colored object just slid across the sky making no sound. It was about one inch across at arms length and traveled an arc of about 90 degrees in 10 seconds. It was really hard to see. My wife also saw it. I saw it as an oval with axis west to east. She saw it as two triangular wings going north and south. Not a bird. Absolutley no sound.

Deadwood, SD
9:45 pm as we were sitting in the driveway, from the west came a string of oval shaped objects numbering 12-15 illuminating the sky and tree top’s approximately 1500’ above the trees, passed in front of us moving towards the east. We observed them for 12-15 seconds then they just dimmed and all vanished and was gone. Not Starlink satellites. Starlink is 340 miles up. Too low to be and Starlink! We would have been able to observe them traveling eastward out of sight. They just disappeared in front of us

Probable conventionalDeadwood, SD
We witnessed a string of low flying bright white lights 15-18 of them at low altitudes for 10-12 seconds moving from the west to east direction at 9:45 pm on a clear flawless night. Once they were in front of us just above tree top angle approximately 12-15000’ they all vanished on after another. These were not Starlink satellites. They were to low and they vanished like some type of cloaking device was activated. If they were satellites we could have watched them travel to the eastern sky. We took pictures and a video of them but they did not record to the cell phone. No images appeared on the phone’s camera. No sound was heard. No other aircraft in the area. Crafts we’re heading in the direction of Ellsworth Airforce Base outside do Rapid City SD. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

Acton, CA
On August the 6th at around 9:15/9:30pm on the 14 freeway (CA) going towards Santa Clarita, from Acton (around the more mountainous area) I saw what I first thought was a blue shooting star. As we drove closer (finance was driving) I saw that it wasn't a streak of light but a bunch of blue lights (some small some big, but all in a row). As we drove closer, the lights and the out line of the ship around it became more clear. It was a long rice grain shape with the blue lights in the center of it looking almost like windows (?) it also was about the size of a football field. It was hovering above the desert/cliffy area on a slant (it was in it was not straight it was at a 45 degree angle) on the right hand of the freeway. I kept staring at it panicking and sticking my head out the widow to get a better look. It moved and hovered over the freeway and and within seconds the lights turned off in a row and it completely vanished. I know others saw it, as i looked at the truck behind us and saw the truck driver sticking his phone out the window towards the sky and other people in cars sticking there heads out the window. The freeway wasn't in traffic but was densely populated.

Stamford Texas, TX
Yes I was standing on my front porch in Stamford Texas. I noticed a large dark object moving slowly descending no more than 50 - 75 feet above the ground. I also noticed a dark orange light of some sort around the upper rim of the object. The way the object came down so low and so controlled i decided to wait and see if it would take off or go back up high enough to see it. Sure enough no more than 5 or 6 minutes later it lifted back up right above where I seen it come down at and as it started to slowly move to the north east the entire object rotated towards the direction it was moving. Towards the same direction it was coming from when I noticed it but I never actually seen it fly away. Once it finished rotating around I lost all sight of the object as if it just disappeared. The only way I noticed it was because of how large and dark it was other than the small glimmer of a dark orange colored light that was gleaming from the object but it wasn't a constant light it was like it only shined when light hit the object just right. I was sure to even report it but something changed my mind this happened early August

Sighted with occupants of building. I work at boat yard nearby some very late nights, and have never seen anything of this type of areal phenomenal. Military aircraft is ruled out as I live near drills, as they fly over my home every night, no engine noise detected nor flashing hazards per aircraft of any kind. This was something I’ve never seen in my entire life.
