My dad was driving me to work and he said what the hell is that and in the far distance there was a big shiny metal ball. As we were driving it just stayed there we only saw it for like 10 - 15 seconds and as we drove trees got in the way then we couldn't see it because the location of my work was in a different direction. i cant really say it was a craft or something since we didn't see it move or anything and i didn't get an open view but it was very strange none the less. No doubt that it was a shiny metal sphere though.

I finished yard work and laid on a hammock. Looked north eastward and noticed a few flashing lights kind of looked like balloons. I took video but they are very small flashing points so you have to look closely. One video also shows a plane for comparison. I did try to edit the settings on another video to make the lights more noticeable. Bugs, planes, birds and balloons that were also in the sky looked different and less bright.

There were 4 of us flying in a Cessna 172. We were at 5500 feet heading south bound and saw a black, round object off our right wing. It was about 10 feet in diameter and 50 feet or less from our plane. I saw it at the 1:00 position from our plane and I continued watching it for about 5-10 seconds until we passed it. After watching it for about 2 seconds and I called out to the others in the plane, “What is that black, round thing?” Two others in the plane witnessed the object as well.

I saw four lights in a kite shaped configuration, low to the horizon. They looked as if they were covered and uncovered in quick succession before disappearing completely. I have seen Starlink satellites at my location and this was different from the “train” of Starlink satellites.

This morning, my neighbor and me were on our daily early morning walk, when the neighbor looked up and spotted an object that first appeared to be a conventional satellite in normal flight southwest of our stated location and from 60 to 75 degrees off the horizon, and at approximately 75 degrees, it suddenly stopped. At first we thought we had somehow lost visual contact, because now it appeared we were looking at a distant star. After maybe 15 seconds, it started moving again but in a very erratic manner and in a localized area. Sudden fast starts, sudden stops, sometimes straight, sometimes in arcs. The object made approximately 4 somewhat longer movements over several degrees at super high speeds and in different directions, but seemed to return to about the point of the first stopped. It never proceeded much north of the first stop. During this period, a third early morning walker joined us and watched for awhile. Maybe about the time the third walker left, a conventional satellite of about the same size and altitude and in the same vicinity (6:25?) appeared, moving from South-Southeast to North-Northwest in direction (possible time verification). This may be about the time of the object's second pause in movement, but it is doubtful the pause was in relation to the appearance of the satellite. The object paused long enough that we started walking again while waiting to see more movement. Just prior to out turning on N. Camino Central, an airliner flew generally towards us coming from Southeast to Northwest (likely Tucson to Phoenix and not at full altitude), (possible time verification). Doubtfully because of the approaching airliner, the object suddenly headed east at super speeds far beyond of that of an aircraft or satellite. Once it passed us to the east, it disappeared, possibly because it lost the reflection of the sun. All longer movements were extremely fast and straight followed sudden stops. The shorter movements appeared just as quickly, but were more erratic, and in the shorter movements, there were straight and arc shaped movements and extremely rapid changes in direction and at super speeds equal to those of the longer movements. Several times there appeared to be horizontal movements toward and away from Earth giving it a bouncing effect. When it turned east, it traveled about 10 degrees at speeds faster than a conventional satellite and then apparently lost the reflection of the sun and disappeared. We see conventional satellites on a regular basis, so there is something to compare to this event in terms of the speed of object in space. I am not asking to be contacted by an investigator, but you are certainly welcome to contact me if it will help in any way.

On November 19, 2023 in Downtown Denver, Colorado me & my partner witnessed a large dark grayish object appearing in translucent looking clouds or smoke above a building directly in front of our balcony. We were staying at The Warwick Hotel on the 14th floor. After the large object appeared above The Secretary of State building, we were frozen in place unable to speak for several seconds then it opened & began dropping out 4 perfectly circular red/yellow/orangish orbs that pulsated and flashed and hovered at first then began to maneuver in all directions (up, down, left, right) forming shapes etc. Neither the “mothership” as we called it or the orbs made any noticeable sounds. As seen on our video footage some orbs hovered while others descended. One can be seen sharply changing directions as it descended behind SkyHouse Denver highrise. Just before all the orbs descended and disappeared from our view behind The Secretary of State building a black helicopter arrived in the precise area the orbs and mothership disappeared and circled for approximately 40mins to an hour. Afterwards time seemed to leap forward 2 hours and a large flock of crows came to the tree directly in-front of us and began crowing loudly after the orbs disappeared.

White light in the shape of an orb was moving in different directions across the sky for about 30 minutes and then disappeared. It looked like it had white/gold strands coming off of it. It reappeared about an hour later in a different part of the sky. It was flashing red and green and white lights. It then disappeared again.

It was early evening on November 18, 2023 and my wife and I were sitting in our living room watching the news. Our leather sofa sits perpendicular to our ten-foot living room window which is on the north side of the house facing the US/Canada border. There is quite often activity along the border with drones and helicopters doing whatever it is they are supposed to do so we seldom pay much attention. However, that evening as we sat watching, my attention was drawn to a round bright light slightly higher than the tree line on my neighbor’s property about a half mile away. At first we thought it could be a helicopter but the light was larger than any we’ve seen before and it was pointed straight at our direction not searching the ground. We watched it for several minutes, musing between each other that maybe it was an airplane. But, then logic kicking in and we could not understand how a plane intending to land at a nearby airport (there is one in Abbottsford and one in Bellingham but neither are that close to us), would be holding such a low and, seemingly, fixed position. Finally, with curiosity getting the best of me, I got off the couch and walked to the window to get a better view. As soon as I made the window, with my wife still watching from the couch, the large round light began to retreat away from me, as it were, and the light grew smaller and smaller. It took maybe five seconds for it to become very small and then it took a 90 degree turn upwards and continued rising behind some misty clouds until it came to a stop and took the form of a red and white blinking light. It remained stationary in the sky and we shut the curtains.

Hello NUFORC, At around noon on 11/18/2023 I heard two low-flying fighters outside of our house. As I was standing in our backyard, I saw two F-35's fly around the house three times over the course of 15-30 minutes. I don't know why there were F-35's here, but Davis-monthan AFB in Tucson is not a fighter base (I was stationed there from 2007-2011). I don't want to assume too much, but the nearest F-35's I know about are stationed at Luke AFB in PHX. Sometimes they will have an airshow or other host nation partners' pilots will train here with some of the U.S. pilots. Either way, when I heard the aircraft outside it prompted me to investigate. As I was observing them I witnessed two other high-flying jets (higher than 20k ft approximately) that were streaming across the sky. This prompted me to grab my telescope (25mm lens) so I could get a better look at them. As I followed one of them with my telescope I observed a UAP floating in the background (not following the aircraft, but caught my eye). Light reflected off of it like it was metallic. I continued to observe the object for approximately twenty minutes until inclement weather prevented me from observing it anymore. It was moving, but it was very slow. I know because I had to adjust me telescope every minute or so. The photos that I took are through my 25mm lens facing west by southwest of our backyard. Even when light wasn't reflecting off of it, it was hard to make out what it was (that's how far it was). I don't want to assume what it was, but I attached some photos that I took from my telescope. It is difficult to take photos with my phone through the lens, but the photos do reflect what I saw. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns. If you call please leave a voicemail so I know. Respectfully, Scott

The sphere was about 500 ft in the air at about 1,200 yards away. Sitting dead still. Shiny perfectly smooth sphere. Watched it for about 2 mins then it just disappeared. I don’t know if it flew off at super high speeds I couldn’t see or if it cloaked itself. I’ve had other hunters in my club see objects over the years they can’t explain either.

I seen these same orbs in August, in Tennesse, same time, same direction. They fade in and out of brightness and will reappear in a different spot and move quickly in any direction. In August they appeared to be playing with each other.

Descending blue orb appear out of nowhere, shined bright blue/white light, briefly intensifying. As it moved in falling arcing motion from left to right (west to East) across horizon (viewing north from south of object’s position), its light intensified and it had a short tail that appeared to be the same light as the orb itself, then it extinguished in the air.

At first sight I thought it was a helicopter low in the sky, traveling south east. Then the UFO quickly descended to the height of a 40 story building. At lower elevation the sphere looked like the size of a bicycle. The object swiftly fly east towards an apartment building. Then the object descended down towards the building, as I watched it disappeared in front of my eyes.

Driving east bound Friday November 10 at 6:13am on highway 285 near the intersection of S Sheridan Blvd and Highway 285, I looked to my left (north north east), and there was a large ball of light. The ball of light was approximately the size of a basketball with a dark core, the majority of the light coming from the outer edges. It was moving too slow/low to be an airplane in this area. It was significantly brighter than anything I have ever seen in the sky (while flying or on the ground). If holding an object at arm’s length away to cover the object, it would be the size of a basketball. It looked like there were multiple lights on the outer edges of the sphere when looking at it. The color was a bright white with the middle of the orb a darker color. There looked like there was an aura around the object, I'm not quite sure how to describe it. It looked like when you can see the heat around a hot oven after opening it. The middle was not black but there was significantly less light coming from the middle. When I grabbed my phone to take a picture of it, it became significantly smaller and dimmer before it disappeared. It was light outside when this happened and I could not see an object in the sky when it disappeared. This happened within 1-2 minutes. I make this drive everyday Monday-Friday to go to work at this same time each day and I have never seen this or anything similar before.

I randomly just wanted to look at the stars and watch the sunrise.. it looked like a star at first, but it was moving, and no sound came from it, and I was confused because it moved from one point of the sky, to another point of the sky really rapidly in the blink of an eye. It got slightly brighter as it moves towards the south. There were no other lights on this orb and not a visible craft. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

I was walking my dog in the Woodcreek North neighborhood with my wife around 8pm. We heard a LOUD helicopter flying overhead which is common in the area, but this one was much larger than any I have seen and a lot louder. It was too dark to make out if it was military or not, but my hunch is that it was. Way out in front of the helicopter was a glowing orb (amber in color) just flying, not blinking. The helicopter was in steady pursuit but not gaining on it. We watched for a good two minutes until both were out of sight. The objects were probably about 1,000 feet in elevation.

Driving south on 4910 E County Rd 64 and suddenly a light appeared several hundred to thousand feet above me. My windows were up and I was unable to hear anything audibly. Also, there was no visible lights leading up to this point and I had been on the road for 1/2 mile, since the nearest exit (278). The light instantly travelled in the straightest of lines thousands of feet to a couple of miles before turning off or disappearing. All of this took place in less than 2 seconds. I've seen hundreds of shooting stars and this was nothing like it. I jokingly told myself it was a farmer with a drone observing his fields. After dinner, I found articles talking about the mystery lights in Eastern Colorado that people have been reporting. I've only lived her for 2 months, so I had never heard of such. One of the articles mentioned this web site and I am her to make a report. There is no way this was a shooting star or a drone based off of current known technologies due to the speed it traveled.

The object seemed to drop straight down from high above the sky. It seemed closer to me at first, but as it slowly moved & rotated,& its lights began to rotate & flash, it became clear the object was massive & just seemed closer. Each large bright white light rotated in various directions. It had 2 beams of light that darted around downward & turned on & off. After about 20 minutes, it began to lift up farther into the sky & then swooped upward. It then shot straight up into the sky towards the atmosphere & disappeared.
