I was standing out in my yard doing photography for my business, I look towards the east and about at 10,000ft was fast moving object that looked like brown sphere coming from the south at a high rate of speed heading north. My initial attempt was too rule out Buzzers that we do have here in Florida but they usually circle in thermal vents during the daytime. but this object was heading north in straight direction. Twenty minutes later the same object is coming from the north heading south. I literally ran to catch up with it in order to see the direction it was going, it was probably traveling faster than any commercial jet, there was no sonic boom, no air radiating off the craft as you would see any fighter jet when it breaks the sound barrier

Date: 26 May 2021 Location: Downey, CA. Lat. 33.928N Long. 118.0134W Elev. 37m Time: Approximately 02:52 PDT Temp. 62°F, RH 93% Mostly Cloudy Wind Calm I've been an amateur astronomer for 18 years and it was also a hobby of mine for a few years growing up. This is the second telescope I've owned and have had it since January 2003. I've viewed 6 planets with it, Orion Nebula, star clusters, and at least a dozen total lunar eclipses. I've seen the ISS and the Space Shuttle Orbiters docked and undocked through binoculars and with the naked eye. I've watched the Geminid Meteors a half a dozen times and have viewed several comets. I'm familiar with most of the Northern Hemisphere constellations and the stars in them visible to me. I'd like to think I know what I'm looking at in the night sky. I was viewing the beginning of the umbral phase of the total lunar eclipse through my 6" Dobsonian, focal ratio f/8. It has a resolution of 0.77 arcseconds. I was using a 25mm Plossl eyepiece which yields AFOV = 1.2° (Actual Field of View) at 48x magnification. The umbral phase of the total eclipse began at 02:44 PDT (local time). I expected overcast skies so I didn't bother to even check conditions until 02:40 PDT. Even though the sky was mostly cloudy the Full Moon was visible through some light haze. I quickly set up on my front yard but then had to move to the driveway. By this time the Moon had already began to move into Earth's shadow (umbra) at about the 8 o'clock position on the Moon's face. I quickly brought the Moon into view through the telescope. The Moon covers about 0.5° in the sky and fills about half of my field of view with the aforementioned setup. I took a few picture with a digital camera just by holding it up to the eyepiece of the telescope. By now it was about 02:52 PDT. I took another look to see if I had to adjust the telescope to keep the entire Moon in view. This must be done every 1-2 minutes to keep it centered. As I looked with the entire Moon still within the field of view I saw a very small black o! bject travel across my field of view in a straight line from right to left very near where the equator would be. This took about 3-4 seconds. There were no lights on the object and it was only visible when passing in front of the moon. A characteristic of a reflecting telescopes is that they invert the object being viewed 180°. So top is bottom and left is right etc. So in reality it was traveling left to right or east to west. It was in focus and was too small to accurately determine any shape. I continued to view the eclipse, adjust the telescope as needed, and take a few more pictures. Then about 10 minutes later I saw the same thing again. By about 3:15 PDT the sky was completely overcast and the Moon was no longer visible. I did some calculations using the distance the Moon was from the Earth at that time 357,422km and the resolution of my telescope 0.77 arcseconds. The smallest object I can see at that distance would be at least 1,330 meters which is 0.82 miles. I have heard other reports where people said what they saw was larger than this. The largest object in orbit is the ISS which is 109 meters and orbits at about 400km from Earth. I thought it could possibly be small satellite thousands of miles high but they all orbit in the opposite direction than this did.

I am in my 50’s, a former drafter/designer, currently an at-home mom. I did not see this anomaly in person. I was inside my home when our Ring system sounded. A few minutes later, I decided to look at the history on our Ring to see what it had detected. I will email the video upon submitting this report. It appears to be lights in a circular or oval shape and looks transparent. The top row of lights are white; the lower rows are bluish with one or two white lights in the lowest row. It looks almost like a projection. You can also see a reflection on the paved driveway below the image. The object was moving quickly and headed directly toward our garage then appears to twist and rise when it gets to the garage as if it’s going to go over it. Other than crickets, I hear no other sound. It is not definitive to me whether it came through the wooded buffer between us and our neighbor, or down our driveway. It does look more like it came from the wooded area (an approximately 20-25’ strip buffer of mature trees.) The following morning I looked around the yard and found nothing odd.

My wife and I were sitting outside having a campfire. We were enjoying the night sky when we noticed what appeared to be a satellite moving across the sky at around 11:23pm. It was white and the same size and as the stars. To our amazement there was another one right after the first and then another, continuing for about 18 to 20 in total. These were moving much faster than a plane in the sky and did not have any flashing lights. They were all in a straight line and equally spaced apart. We tried to capture the event with our phone to no avail. The line started in the southwest sky and passed over us to the northeast sky. When the event ended we were mystified and talked about what it could be. We continued to stay outside until 2am and saw the same line of satellite shapes pass again at 12:53 but this time they were further north from where we were. The 3rd time this happened it was even more north than the 2nd time and the event was around 1:40. We would like to know what these were as we have never seen that many satellites in the sky at one time and all moving roughly the same distance apart and in a straight line.

There were several white light orbs flying in a tight and almost perfect formation across the night sky at low altitude. There was a pattern in which each orb would flash its light in my direction, one at a time. They were flying in a direction and would disappear as more would keep appearing. This went on for close to 20 minutes. There were airplanes close by, sharing the airspace and there is an airport close by.

- [ ] Within the past year I took on fun hobby of drone flying. I live in a beautiful part of Connecticut and I have a few places I enjoy flying because of the incredible scenery and also the lack of any major interference which allows me to travel further and cover more area. One day I decided to watch some footage of a fairly remarkable flight I recently captured a few days prior. What made it remarkable was it was the furthest that I have ever flown the drone up till the current point in time. As I was watching this fairly uneventful footage my eye catches something race past the screen at in insane rate of speed, which at fists glance would appear to be a bug which flew past the drones camera very closely. After close examination of the footage it appears that I caught the elusive “fast-walker” on footage. The video shows that this object appears from the extreme horizon which I estimated to be at distance of about 6 miles. The object headed almost dire! ctly towards the drone (Northbound) in a banking motion, as if it is investigating the only other craft in its immediate airspace, then the object disappears from frame almost directly underneath my drone. And all that happened in 1.3 seconds, which means this thing was traveling at a cool 20,000 mph… Yes, you too can see this for yourself, as I uploaded this onto YouTube for the benefit of all. Please note that I am not a professional video editor, I put this video together with a limited amount of a/v knowledge and equipment. Here’s a link to the video https://youtu.be/7ZQNNIg8xkI

I was on my way to work on 5/18/21 at 0400 in Warwick, NY. I saw an unknown object in the sky with blinking lights that was flying extremely slow and appeared lower in the sky than an airplane would be. I couldn’t make out a shape of the object but it was slowly moving west of me than it came slightly back towards me traveling eastbound. It then went south with about four lights blinking from front to back. I pulled over and recorded it on my phone for 1:38. I turned my car off as I was recording to see if I could hear anything and it didn’t make a sound. This is the third time in less than a year that I have seen an object in the sky and they were all in the same place at roughly the same time, between 4:00-4:40am. The first sighting was 7/24/20 at 4:36 am and the second was 5/7/21 at 4:34. I have still photos of the first two sightings but they are blurry and of poor quality. The location of the sightings is Bellvale Rd between Sugar Loaf Mountain Rd & Kin! gs Highway bypass in Warwick, Orange County, NY.

This evening my daughter and I had been out feeding bottle lambs in the field. We had to get them back to the rest of the flock and also sneak away so they would not follow us. They think we are their moms, but if they cannot find us then they will stay with the rest of the sheep and the guardian dog where they will be safe. The sun had just gone down completely so it was hard to see so we used that to our advantage to “disappear”. We walked through the flock of sheep and circled around to walk along the fence knowing they cannot see that well and will loose us in the other sheep if we walk quickly. As we circled around to the entrance of the field I heard a couple of stray bottle lambs calling so we stopped. We have 13 of them and the smallest ones are harder to escape from. If we kept going they would have made us so we waited. I was counting on that they would eventually follow the direction we had left them and also the sound of the other sheep be! cause they don’t want to be left behind. We stood there quietly listening for a few minutes as they called to the sheep and made their way towards the flock. I got bored quickly and started looking at the stars while still listening to the lambs as they made their way. I quickly noticed a formation of small lights that were very high in the sky. They were moving steadily from east to west. We live near an airport so I first just assumed they were high altitude planes. They were moving at that speed, maybe a bit faster. Then quickly realized they were not flashing at all, several high altitude planes did appear and it was easy to tell that was not what we were looking at. As I mentioned we live near an airport and there is a lot of air traffic. So, then I thought they must be satellites. Though, I thought it was odd they were in a trapezoid formation. I pointed them out to my daughter who was with me. She is 13 and she started watching them too. Then I realized there was 5 in formation then another two out front and then another two appear towards the rear. They traveled at a mostly steady rate and constant light. Then! my daughter said, “did you see that?” I said, “no what?” She said the one I the rear of the trapezoid was doing something strange. So, I focused on the one and saw that is was actually wobbling. Moving up and down as it was tracking with the others. She said yes it is, but that’s not what she saw. She said it had flirted around really fast. So I kept watching and then I saw it too. It would zip at light speed backward or in another direction for just a split second. Sometimes so fast it just looked like it just faded out or disappeared and flash behind it appeared then it was back. This happened In different directions, not always behind. So that solidified they were not satellites either. For reference these moved across half the sky in no more than 5 minutes then stopped after we were commenting on them. After they stopped I pulled out my phone and checked my star app and it said that I was looking at the constellation Leo. The “stars” did line up with it b! ut, unless stars now forget their place and cross half the sky! in five minutes to get back in place and they also wobble and flit around while they do it... THEY WERE NOT STARS. We realized they were pretending to be stars and that was the reason for he formation. Yet, even then after they stopped the back “star” was still moving around in the sky not holding still. We were now alert that things were not as they seemed and we stated looking at some other “stars and satellites”. The two in front of the formation were no longer visible. The two behind the trapezoid formation had kept moving after those stopped and then one just faded out and disappeared. The brighter one kept going for a minute then stopped. We turned around and saw two bright lights over one of our big oaks out in the field. They were so bright I thought those ones HAD to be planes so we watched for a minute. They never did flash and didn’t get closer or farther away. Other airplanes headed for the airport flew by and it was clear they were not planes. I checked my star app and it said it was part or Aries. Then the lower one started to quickly drop in the sky and first faded out, and then brightened back up and got so low it disappeared behind the tree. At this point I messaged my husband and told him we were surrounded by UFOs and he came out on the quad to se! e what was going on. Then the higher one started moving quickly across the sky at a steady rate to the south. When we commented on it, it stopped. When he got he got there we told him what we had seen and he of course didn’t believe us. So I pulled out my star app and the “star” that had been in Aries was now saying it was part of Apus. So the “star” had “flown” past Cygnus and into some harp constellation I had never heard of before. I told him just wait a minute and watch. Sure enough, soon my daughter spotted another “star” obviously dancing around in the sky. It was not a part of the original fleet but in a similar part of the sky. We all watched it weave and swing and dip every which way. Then the bright star behind the trapezoid formation started moving again towards the “Leo” trapezoid formation which was still holding still. Then another “satellite” started moving west to east in the same part of the sky. Joey said for sure THAT ONE was satellite, until half way across the sky it disappeared. At this this point his mind was pretty blown but I said, “I bet there are more” so we turned around to the north again and ANOTHER light I had taken for granted as star started dancing around too! So, we watched that for a minute or two as it dipped and weaved around. Then we turned back around to the south and I looked suspiciously at “Leo. I took out my star app out again and their cover was blown because while they no longer lined up with ! “leo”! They had not moved with the constellation as it would move. The “star” furthest east no longer lined up at all. They accidentally held too still! At this point my daughter and I had been out there watching this craziness for darn near an hour, and I had to get back in to get the little kids to bed and what not. We headed back toward the house. Then I remembered I had not given one of our guardian dogs her medicine so I went up to the barn to do that. I noticed she need water so went out to fill her bucket and while it was filling I looked up at the sky again to see another very bright “satellite” booking it across the sky faster than any of the other had been until my view was blocked by the barn roof above me. I checked for the “Leo” stars on the way down tot he house and they were still there, still pretending to be a constellation, but even further out of line of where the actual constellation was supposed to be in the sky. I am 38 years old, I have never before seen anything that I could not write off as an airplane or satellite in the sky. I don’t drink and have never so much as smoked a cigarette since they are my number 1 asthma trigger. I have an undergraduate degree in environmental science, and a master’s degree in biology. I own and operate a 127 acre sustainable and regenerative farm with grass only beef cattle, sheep, goats, turkeys, chickens, and ducks. I don’t spend a lot of time looking for UFOs, nor do I have time to even if I wanted. But, I sit here now wondering how many times have a I looked up at stars were not actually stars? Why would UFOs pretend to be stars or constellations? What is the purpose? These questions disturb me nearly as much as the fact that I have witnessed indisputable UFOs. What are they doing and why are they pretending? And why SOOO Many!??? Just, why???

West Bloomfield, MI
I was astral projecting using the Xanth Phase Method. About 15 minutes in, I saw a static image of the Virgin Mary. Then behind Mary was this thing that looked like a grey alien. However, it had slight irises and not entirely black eyes. When the thing noticed that I could recognize it, it turned to me and gave a toothless smile. In that moment, I felt like a lab rat being observed by a scientist. I opened my eyes, and to my horror, its outline was on my bedroom wall. Like a black chalk outline. There was also a green circular haze. I started having dreams of this thing. It was wearing the traditional blue outfit of the virgin mary in one dream and sitting on a throne. One night, I woke up and saw three of them looking at me through my bedroom window. Another night, I had a dream I was in this room with a platform in the middle. I asked them what they were and they replied "Asha Vhista Venu." I looked up Asha Vhista by googling it phonetically, and this was a Zoroastrian God of Cosmic truth. I've never heard of Zoroastrianism in my life.

There were three white lights, shape was unclear from our angle, it was resting up and to the left of us in the clouds and did not move. When I saw it at first I thought it was an airplane flying way too low but then I noticed it wasn’t moving. I fumbled for about thirty seconds to get my camera on record and about ten seconds into the recording it just slowly vanished like it went stealth. It didn’t move the entire time, no towers around, no flights landing at the small airport nearby because we passed it shortly after and there were no additional planes on the parking strip. I caught a video of the unidentified aircraft, myself and two children witnessed it. There were about 5 or 6 other cars in the road but I don’t know if they saw it as well.

At 5:03 am, I checked our security cams, and, for the first several seconds of clicking on our security cam 1, the security system kept saying the system is busy and unable to record when I clicked "armed" or record. My husband and I received a series of notifications (thru the security cam app we use) regarding motions detected, but he seemed to be ignoring them though. I checked the security cam 1 and viewed it live. It seemed like something was interfering with it. I shared the live cam with my husband, but he said they were spider webs. Below is one of the video clips that I saved on my phone. More than 4 bright lights/or light reflections started moving sporadically later in the recordings, while 3 of them, shaped like small squares, were vertically aligned at the top left of the video. I think the video below was recorded at 5:25 am. I stopped the recording at about 5:45 am, and those unidentified sporadic bright lights were still hovering ne! ar or by the security cam 1. I'm assuming this event lasted about an hour, because at around 6 am, the sun generally starts to rise. I also noticed in one of the recorded clips, a bunch of raccoons were running across the other side of the street towards where the dumpster is and away from our driveway.

Kailua, HI
On a beach stroll at night with my significant other. Her and I noticed a star like circular dot way up high, no different than any other lit star or planet in the night sky. However, the the dot of light began to move at a rapid pace. It had the ability to go the full distance of the sky in mere seconds. This was no shooting star for it did not quickly vanish nor was it a low altitude airplane like craft. We could barely make out the shape before it cut short immediately, lowered slowly at a 90 degree rate and disappeared behind some clouds. I went back out each night hoping to see something similar. And on 5/12 I saw a "star" making similar movements but this time it was much closer to the ground. It was changing direction and getting closer almost as if it noticed me. My neck began to hurt from stargazing so I had to give up and go back inside. But as I kept looking back over my shoulder on my way back, the light became brighter and it felt as i! f it almost was following me home.

May 7th, 2021 My husband and I were watching TV in the sunroom. I went outside to watch for meteorites since I had seen one earlier that night. This was about 11:45 pm. While I am looking up, I notice a bright object with pulsating lights of blue, white, and, orange. Object appeared to be football size to the naked eye and approx. 400 ft up at sixty to sixty five degree angle. After veering eastward, it then veered westward, then, accelerated and went north where it disappeared behind trees. No sound.

At around 9:20 PM my wife and I were on our deck and saw a line of lights in the sky, perfectly spaced, moving west to east. We saw approximately 50 of them go by, evenly paced. They were too far away to see a shape. I took a video.

At 10:15 PM I stepped outside to have a smoke on my deck. I looked to the North West, I couldn't help but look that direction because there was a whole string of bright white lights heading North East. There was no doubt in my mind what I was seeing, I knew. A fleet of UFO's. There was no sound, and they moved in precise order. And they just kept coming. Once they got farther North East, they just simply disappeared. I guessed maybe 50, but I don't know how many I missed before I got outside. Tried to video it but I was shaking so bad, I hit video on phone and forgot to hit play. Dang it. Probably a once in a lifetime event. Quite scarry, to see so many.

2 adult individuals witness a distant object extremely high in the southern night sky over walsenburg Colorado. The object was illuminated but it was assumed that was the setting sun's rays were striking the object. The object was at times stationary but at times it's path of travel was also moving in all directions. As an example the object would move forward, backward,and in a curved path it. It's speed was variable and it's excelleration was uneven sometimes quite fast then stationery and it's path also would wobble at times. As a pilot of various aircraft I know of no such capability for the movements observed by any man made craft including drones at the altitude observed. Being that the object was at a extremely high altitude no discernable shape was observed. The objects movements were it's only distinguishing characteristics from the other observed objects being stars, planets and satellites. The night sky was perfectly clear and No obscurations w! ere present. A number of satellites moved in the object's area but their tracks were straight and constant in contrast to the object observed. The object appeared as a star.

On Wednesday, May 5th at 20:57-59, I looked southward out my bathroom window as sirens had just gone by and I could see a sheriff's helicopter in the far distance south of me, then out of the corner of my right eye, following the large electrical lines going North, were what looked like 10 to 12 Canadian geese flying in sequence one after another with lights on each object, silently flying medium speed but close to the ground or at least on the horizon, just above the high power electrical lines. I ran outside with both my glasses and binocs but didn't need them because there they were, 10-12 similar objects, flying one in front of the other going north, no sound, but lights under each one. They were just flying in sequence, going north towards Fallon, following the same trajectory that jets from Lemoore to Fallon follow. They were soundless, there were other aircraft in the sky close enough to see this spectacle but I see no mention of it on the internet. H! owever, it is similar to one sighting in the April sightings near the east coast of the USA but the difference is they were all staying the same altitude and in formation like Canadian geese with lights under their bodies. Please someone tell me they were drones? Not likely. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

Santa Clara/Eugene, OR
As I was stargazing outside at 21:25 I saw a series of closely connected lights pass silently and smoothly over the neighborhood traveling West to East. It was visible to me for about 25 seconds but was already halfway through the sky before I noticed it. I first thought it was a shooting star but realized it was a series of individual lights, and positioned as if they were along the sides of a very long aircraft. The only aircraft I could imagine would travel like this (regarding size and flight pattern) would be a blimp the length of the Hindenburg.
