Gridley, CA
I filmed a round pulsation light in the west sky of Gridley Ca. It resembled a Alamy Naval mine.

GREENVILLE, SC
I saw a flash in the sky and started looking in the area, called my wife outside, she saw it too, started filming as object moved and darted or skipped through the sky. It finally dove to the left in the sky and vanished. Unbelievable and amazing.

Madison, MS
On a walk through neighborhood early morning. The walk is recorded by GPS watch device, with GPS data, time, and other data. Walking back through the front gate of the subdivision, and stopped due to seeing aircraft size object with light moving, overhead from stationary position, away to the northeast with high acceleration and speed. Orb of light object was between natural white and cool white shade of light. Brightest light in the early morning sky. Weather was 36 degrees and clear. Full moon. Moonset from historical data was around 7:07 am CT, with moon near horizon at sighting. Light or orb of light object was multiple times larger than what would be considered shooting star. Light or orb of light object in a stationary position overhead and moved with high acceleration and high speed toward the northeast out of sight, within a few seconds. No image or video captures of the sighting are available.

Saint Petersburg, FL
I was kiteboarding at the Skyway Bridge. I stopped on a sandbar to adjust my kite. As I looked up, I noticed a very very bright metallic sphere that appeared out of nowhere and traveled for 3 to 5 seconds and then just disappeared. It was a cloud free, clear morning. The sphere was almost directly overhead. It was definitely round. You could see it plain as day. There is an Airforce Base close to the area, so I have seen multiple aircraft flying around. This was definitely not an airplane or the sun reflecting off a plane. It looked like shiny mercury in the shape of a sphere that was unbelievably bright. It was very high in the atmosphere, nowhere near where normal aircraft fly. It just appeared out of the clear blue cloudless sky and then just disappeared.

What is it?? Pics taken at 9:34am on 2/3/23, but didn't notice it at time photo taken - but clearly seen when reviewing pics last night - & see at least 12+ when zooming in on the pic with the 'shed' in photo. I took pics before & after this time & unseen in other pics.

Basinger, FL
We were outside stargazing around 9pm and noticed 4 lights in a set of 2 moving together across the sky. They followed each others path and disappeared. Dogs were barking loudly in the background near the area.

Luminous sphere with photon cloud in front, emitting light from the center out of its wings as if it were a holographic light and flashes of light in its distant environment as if it were guarded

Witnessed an orange orb move quickly across the sky traveling northeast. Only one orb witnessed before it disappeared. Sighting lasted only about 5 seconds.

I was outside trying to locate and view the green comet, but I couldn't find it. The moon had a beautiful halo, and although I know they aren't super rare, I took 3 pictures with my Samsung galaxy z flip3 (doesn't have a very good camera, but it was cold, so I took 3 photos and went inside.) I took 3 pictures from 2229pm-2230pm and went inside. When I got into bed, I pulled the pictures up and noticed a blue spherical object in all 3 pictures. It is in the lower part of the image below the moon, but traveling west to east. I got dressed and ran back outside with a good camera, (this was probably 5 mins later) but it was nowhere in sight. I thought it was a satellite, however I have asked several friends and people online what they think, and they say that it is too low to be a satellite. Now with the chinese balloon thing, I thought I should share. If you have any thoughts about what it is, please let me know! I would live to know what I caught a photo of! There was no noise, no movement noted by me just with the naked eye, all I saw was what is in the photos. Lens Flare

Woodland, CA
My son was talking to me when he saw an object in the sky and said “What is that?” I turned to look, and we both picked up our phones and went to the balcony. We both took videos, his phone is better than mine, but we got 2 videos. It was circular and orange/red. It got larger and smaller and the brightness changed. It hung in the air before lowering and disappearing. It shot sideways and back before it disappeared. I didn’t want to put on social media and did not know where to report this. There was also some sort of mechanism on the bottom. It appeared to be very far away.

it was over north Wood Village between airport and walmart, OR
Saw weird light moving and scrambled to grab phone and start filming. It made no sounds. Was scared. Didn't fill out report immediately because of medical issues and don't want to deal with weird stuff while on the mend but this bothers me. This was facing east I think? Around 7:43PM Weds Feb 1st probably about a 45 degree angle up and over one of the wood village industrial buildings, not sure how far away it was. It probably would have been between the Troutdale airport and wood village Walmart. Only lasted maybe 60 seconds total by time I grabbed phone and started filming a 26 second clip. Whatever that big orb was it dipped down a little and then shot up into the sky in less than 4 seconds. Telling myself it's drones. Thought I heard some of the air national guard jets from over by the Portland international airport heading toward it afterward so maybe someone was near airspace they weren't supposed to be near. You might want to contact Air National Guard at the Portland air base to confirm or see if Troutdale or Portland airport got it on radar. I don't want to sign off rights to it to anyone else right now so all I'm giving are screenshots of the video.

Red Hook, NY
I was driving south on the road at not a fast speed. A metallic silver sphere that was reflective appeared at about a 75 degree angle and was clear enough to see detail but I could not estimate the distance in the sky though had a clear visibility and could see enough detail to see that only the top half of the sphere was showing, there seemed to be no bottom half but it seemed like the top of something and I could only see the top which seemed like a bubble with possibly a window because the silver metallic material was different that the front what seemed like window. The silver was reflective and it was a completely clear day with very blue sky and no clouds whatsoever. It was visible clearly for about 5 seconds and I continuously was looking at it and without moving it disappeared completely taken over by the blue sky as if it was never there. The object was completely stationary and did not move.

Myrtle Beach, SC
Woke up to see a yellow-orange orb through the trees of my backyard. Direction was due west. Object was about 3 times as bright and 4-5 times as large as Venus. Initially, saw a bright orb and observed it for several minutes. The single source changed color to a more white, then broke into 4 distinct irregular shapes (elongated) of blue-white light. This lasted only for a minute or two. The elongated shapes disappeared, and the central object then reappeared, but was not nearly as bright. Observed it for another few minutes, but then the object dimmed out and disappeared.

Newark, NJ
I was on a Porter Airlines flight PD2141 from Toronto to Newark, it was descending, only a few minutes from landing. The time was 7pm EST. The city was passing by below. Out of my right side window, I saw an orb of yellow light approach the aircraft from the back-right side. At first I thought it was some kind of distortion through the plexiglass mirror of another aircraft or helicopter, but it was clearly an orb. With regard to is size, either it was larger and further away, or it was smaller and closer to the plane -- I am unsure. But I saw it again the backdrop of the moving city lights below, which is how I got a sense of its relative distance and movement in relation to our aircraft. It looked very similar to what was filmed in this YouTube video of a separate incident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUBFjz1os5c After a minute or so, it passed out my field of view, toward the back of the aircraft. I do not know if anyone else saw it. It was quite terrifying. I contacted the airline after to see if the pilots reported anything.

About 20-30 minutes before landing at John Wayne International Airport my seat mate and I witnessed three spheres, one large and two small. We were on AA flight 1953 from Dallas. We landed at 1:42 pm. We saw the spheres, which were very bright, yet presumed metallic, moving in multiple directions, generally on the same plane of elevation. We watched them for about five minutes. I do know about the man next to me. I am an architect and real estate broker in Boca Raton, FL. This was my first UFO sighting, and I was not a believer previously. Of note, my step daughter picked me up at the airport. She claims to be an alien abductee, and she wrote for UFO Magazine.

KENNESAW, GA
This happened on January 23 or 24 2023 I was on my 2nd story balcony which faces some woods about fifty yards away. It’s about 4:05 in the morning the night sky is perfectly clear I can see a large part of the night sky. Out of the corner of my eye far above in the sky I see a light falling extremely fast. I have only two to three seconds to view the object and focus on and understand what I am seeing. It is a UFO I am 150 to 200 yards away I have a perfect view. It is a white globe the white surface has texture it has a gold and dark brown ring around the globe there are blue flames coming beneath it like a gas stove but different long string like flames bright opaque blue. It made no sound there was no impact it went behind the tree line. That was it and that was weird.

There was 3 orbs visible in the beginning of the video, the furthest one away seemed like it was moving, but from a very long distance, and then it disappeared. The other 2 remained in their position before the second one started to take off. At some point they totally vanished from view.

Watching Mt. Etna live cam from "AfarTV" youtube channel. Past 4AM I witness a UAP leave the side of Mt. Etna. I capture it on video thinking it was a bug at first then, but before it's "flash" a glow appeared before it zoomed away then it was gone and left a light trail for a split second leaving what looks like residual light in some clouds. The second sighting was an orb appearing out of no where and entering Etna from 6:20AM-6:50AM Mediterranean time based off of the live stream. They would not switch it to day mode even though the sun would have been out at the time!

Oklahoma City, OK
Me and a coworker were working Security traffic control when I noticed it floating by about 1/2 mile or less to our West. It was a black sphere with no markings on it. I could not hear it. I ran to my coworker and pointed it out, but he was looking too high in the sky. It was at the Horizon level almost. I only saw it for about 30 seconds and that included trying to get my coworker to spot it. Our buildings blocked my view as it traveled south. I'm kicking myself for not going to our security dept. and getting footage. I know we would have had it, but we only save it for 30 days.

On January 19, 2023 at approximately 17:15 Zulu just before sunrise we were piloting an A330-900 flying at M.83 from HND to SEA at FL370. Approaching 49N160W (from 48N170W) we spotted a semi transparent spherical orb above us and slightly to our left. In the center of the orb there was an object that was either reflective or admitting a small amount of light. Initially it looked like we were going to fly under the object. But, instead of getting closer the object started to move farther away from us, it moved in a straight line from NNW to SSE in front of us before it accelerated in and disappeared into the horizon to the south.
