We heard the sound of a herd of upset ducks flying towards us and stopped to look up at the sky, after they had passed, we Suddenly saw what Appeared to be a shooting star. It shot across the sky and disappeared at one point and then it reappeared and again shot further forward across the sky. It abruptly came to a stop and began to fly slowly and higher at the speed of a normal aircraft. There were approximately six lights and they were red and white. It was difficult to make out a solid shape. It slowly ascended and then simply disappeared.

Huntington, WV
On Thursday 11/8/2020 at approximately 2 pm I was in the parking lot of a Speedway gas station in Huntington West Virginia, delivering fuel to the location. I was looking up to see if I could see any airplanes and noticed two white things that appeared to float in the air. At first I thought they were pieces of paper or something floating the way paper ash floats in the air from a fire. But, there was no fire. These two objects were shiny. I was wearing dark polarized sun glasses and could not see these objects at all when I took my sun glasses off. They seemed to spin or rotate because they went from being round looking to a straight line perpendicular to the ground and then back round again. I could not tell how big they were because there was nothing to reference them to. At first they seemed to float, then one of them shot straight south really fast. The other one stopped and stayed motionless. The one that had zipped away stopped and zipped right back over to the one that stopped. A normal airplane went by behind them and it was really slow compared to how fast they scooted across the sky. I did not hear any noise or sound from the objects. I watched them for another 30 seconds or so and they just went away. The whole thing lasted maybe a minute and a half to two minutes. I have no idea what these things were but they were not anything I've ever seen or what I'd consider “normal” to see in the sky.

McMinnville, OR
I looked out my bathroom window and saw what I at first believed to be a bright star that was low in the sky. On further inspection the star-like object while stationary hovered just below the tops of the hills. It continued to hover but appeared to change shape like from a circle to a v like shape to a line and it was bright but was a soft white in color and changed to an amberish-orange color. I watched it morph shape and change color without moving for approximately 5 minutes before returning to bedroom and I haven't been able to go back to sleep. I've seen other "lights" out here but they didn't seem so close. I just found this website as well. I have had a few experiences I can't explain.

Bainbridge, OH
10/31/20 @ approximately 14:30 hrs granddaughter asked about a star in the sky above our farm. Upon looking at the object with binoculars I could see what appeared to be craft emitting a white/silver light with two thick black downward protruding pole and with a third pole that crossed at the bottom of the two downward poles but was extended further out to the port side. The body of the craft slowly and repeatedly cycled between the shape of a diamond and a circle during the entire time of the event. The body had well defined edges and I never had any visual obstruction or blurring caused by the light during it's shifting. It appeared to be at an extremely high altitude with a moderate velocity. Two other aircraft (airliners) were in the vicinity at the time but were well below it's altitude and they both had different headings. I immediately check online at website FlightAware.com which showed only the two scheduled airline flight already mentioned. This we! bsite doesn't show military flights. The objects approximate location was 39°13'58.22"N 83°10'28.67"W with a heading of approximately 100 degrees. Altitude appeared to be in excess of 50k. My point of observations would of been about 10-12 miles west of these coordinates. The sky was clear and sunny, temperature was in the low 50's and the sun would of been to my back during the siting.

Mcallen, TX
On October 31, 2020 I took out my telescope to look at the Blue moon on Halloween night along with other planets. There was this “star” that kept shining different colors. Blue, purple, red, green, orange and so on. It was stationary to the southeast of my apartment. I pointed my telescope to this object and zoom in on my camera and behold it was changing different shapes and would burst into a sphere, chevron, disk-like. Several times within this time I would hear dogs barking out in the neighborhood south of my apartment. This wasn’t the first time I have seen this multicolored object. The second object I encountered was south of me, I thought it was a star until I zoomed in. It was a disk like and I caught a video of lights flashing across the saucer. There was just white lights on it.

Puerto Vallarta, YT · Mexico
It was very clear that night. I was up late as I usually am. I looked up in the sky from my rented air bnb and saw a cluster of things lit up. I got my camera and started to take pictures and videos. I noticed the many objects were low and not moving but were oval shape with lights around them and a few inside the shape. Almost like a face. After looking at the videos I noticed it wasn’t the cluster I saw with my eyes. I saw a flashing ball not the cluster of them. On my videos it fly’s all over yet with my eyes it stays still. On the videos I have you need to zoom in and out to follow it’s movements but even on slow motion it fly’s off screen on less then half a second. I also have balls and ones that leave a trail behind. These objects come down closer then 36000 feet at times. I have lots of videos and pictures.

The craft blinked in the distance signaling one in the sky like they were blinking in a binary morse code type pattern. Then one descended on the valle caldera and disappeared into the center of the sky without making a sound. The lights it emitted are green and blue. I know more but I'm afraid to write it here.

Las Vegas, NV
Watching the sunrise I saw what appeared to be a large piece of trash or similar drifting NW. it appeared to be 1-3 miles away. I grabbed my quality binoculars to look closer. When I returned it had the shape of a human and with a Viking-like helmet (horns?), all black. At this point I still assumed trash as it continued to change shape. Just above this object a saw a military jet fly towards it and past it. It appeared to be investigating, perhaps from Nellis AFB?? It began to move quicker, still changing and at last resembling a pod or an almond, black with red accent., it moved out of my line of sight, so I ran to my front window to follow it, camera and binoculars in hand, but it as no where to be seen.

Temecula, CA
Around 3:20 a.m. my husband & I both witnessed what looked like a star, only we both agreed it was too close to the earth to be a star. I awoke to the sound of a helicopter, in which flew in the direction of the object; yet underneath it. I ran downstairs to grab our binoculars from the garage to take a closer look. As I adjusted the binoculars I could clearly see a multiple of circles within this object that looked to be some sort of spaceship looking object or flying saucer. My body immediately developed goose bumps I almost dropped the binoculars! I could not believe what I was looking at, so I looked again and woke my husband up and convinced him to look too. My husband described the same thing without my having given him a description of what I’d seen. After contemplating whether we should phone the police (in fear of being laughed at or thought to be crazy) I decided it was my duty to report it. I thought also that maybe the helicopter was also surveying it. The police advised me to contact the UFO Center. I phoned and left a message of what we’d seen with the National UFO Reporting Center in Washington. I hope this report helps.

Moodus, CT
On 10/15/2020 at approximately 22:05 I first observed the object. It was odd in shape and bright in the sky and seemed to be moving but stationary. At 22:08 I began filming. The video captured the shape changing, the seemingly moving, square to oval, circle - bright white/yellow in color. Looked to be spinning at some point looked to be burning. I can provide video and pictures. It would be there , disappear , show back up same location . Then all the sudden about 15 minutes later it disappeared and did not reappear. It seemed to be quite high - I thought it could be a star or satellite at first trying to find an explanation. I saw it and my three children observed it. They are 14& 12 (twins)

Whitefish Bay, WI
At approximately 19:35 on Thursday, October 15, 2020 my attention was abruptly directed to look outside my sliding doors beyond my balcony some 30 ft. to the edge of my balcony railing from my 4th floor apartment. I was talking to a friend on the phone when I said “There’s something hovering in the night sky.” I walked over to my balcony narrating what I was seeing to my friend. There was a group of about 12 lights clumped together in the north sky. The night sky was clear but there was only a single star lower from the group of lights that I saw. The lights ran parallel in two rows 6 in each row. The lights did not move until I started to take some pictures. Some I took through a screen door and others I took directly from the balcony in the night air. Only one picture remained on my phone camera. It was as if they did not want to be photographed and began squiggling and jerking. Were they moving or was the camera moving? Good question. I would say both. As! they moved I was desperately trying to capture their movement. I should have started the video:-) Other lights moved away from the squiggly lights and looked like it could have been a plane. I know this may sound strange but it’s like there was a meeting in the sky between a UFO and a plane. When I pinched the picture on my camera to enlarge it, it appears to suggest 3 sections on two limbs with joints and feet. Then, it was gone without leaving a noticeable trail.

Coming out of work site in the driveway in my truck with window rolled down I seen a really bright white light beside a star. It was perfectly still in the sky , I watched it for a couple minutes then I took a picture with my phone. As I was snapping the picture before I could blink it was gone but the picture caught it as it changed shaped to almost oval as it was vanishing. I couldn’t find it in the sky after that.

My husband and I decided to talk a walk on the bike trail and around the school. You can see the sky clearer by the school and I started to get a very eerie feeling. I couldn't stop starting at the sky and noticed I was seeing a lot of triangle star patterns. But when I looked closer I could see multiple black triangular ships all over the sky at least 10. We went home and I wanted to show my children who are teenagers. It was like they where hidden in plain sight. For someone to glance up, you can't see it. When I was pointing up to show my children the triangle patterns. DIRECTLY over our house one appeared and was a visible UFO. It was so close just above the roof and the trees. It was a different shape more round and moving south. It was so close to us and it was like it was creating its own light. There was no sound coming from it, and it was silent all around us. It was like everything was still. I panicked told my husband and saw it fly off in the dis! tance. Then I stayed outside starring up and see another rounded one appear below one of the triangular ones. I realized I was seeing flashes in the sky and hearing a metal noise also. The vibration in the atmosphere was like static. A very eerie and amazing experience. I come from the wright patt area and I am used to seeing some things but this was nothing like that and it was like it wanted to show itself to us.

Ludington, MI
Me and my family we’re on a trip at the KOA in Ludington,Michigan. On Oct.10 approximately 11:30pm were all the stars are at its brightest. I witnessed 7lights moving through the sky. It’s like normally if the clouds are moving it looks like the stars are to. And this time they were all 7 of them traveled in the same direction like they were all connected. One by one they would disappear slowly. I tried to get my family to look but by the time they looked they pretty much disappeared. I saw many other things moving in the sky that night I’m sure some were meteors but there were lights just passing through each other all night it was something else and it was beautiful to see!

Malvern · United Kingdom
Travelling from Worcester through Leigh Sinton village and into Storridge, me and my wife saw rotating white lighting which appeared to be coming through the very low cloud in the dark evening sky, a shimmering interference effect was observed early in the observation like a cloaked flying craft hidden from casual viewing. It was thought at first the lights witnessed just after this shimmering was some sort of projector spot light effect being beamed up to the clouds but the effect seemed to follow our car along our route home and was also spotted several miles further on our route, so with it being mobile in nature we can’t explain how the lights could have been projected in this way in several places, so unlikely to be ground based projection. Additionally the pattern of lights would shrink and enlarge whilst rotating, struck us as being very odd effects. We arrived home not long after, I had a look out of the bedroom window to see if there was anything ou! tside, and after a few minutes the same effect was noticed again over our village location. After this lighting effect had disappeared a loud variable humming sound could be heard overhead that faded away gradually but nothing could be seen in the night sky.

Austin, TX
Witnessed what we thought was a plastic bag in the air but quickly realized it was way too big and moving too quickly to be a bag. This object was a milky white translucent color with some green flickering. The object was very high up in the air and was out of view within a minute or so. It moved like a large bubble with pulsing shape within the same plane. It moved SW to NW

Temple City, CA
Object approached from south at 400 feet in altitude. Appeared to be floating with no lights. Estimated size about that of a small compact car. Appeared to be boxy up close but photo more like tic tac. After I took photo object shifted direction to the west and disappeared. Estimated rate of speed 20 mph. Did not appear to be drone and certainly not a conventional aircraft like helicopter or plane.

It wasn't the normal star. It was strobing and sparkling like a sparkler and it was lower than a star .All the years that I've lived here, I've never seen anything like this in the skies here.

Richmond, VA
In my backyard beside a small fire I sat reclined in a chair staring up into the night. Out of the corner of the South East sky I noticed the silhouette of what I thought was a large bird (probably an owl) As I stood up telling my wife to look, the shape swooped down pulling in tightly accelerating in an arching motion back into the horizontal direction it was going. As it did this it fanned out into 6 to 7 individual dimly lit red lights in a downward V-shaped formation. These red lights despite being very dim were consistent in their color, light shade and even direction. Behind each light was a dark trail. There was absolutely no sound. It lasted for only a few seconds before the trees blocked my view. I worked on air craft for 8 years in the military and I have never seen anything like this. definitely not fireworks

Clarion, PA
They went from verified position, flashing red and blue and yellow lights, spinning, then quickly into smaller circles almost like blurred dots, back to verified with the same flashing patterns. They moved close to one another, then what seemed like a top of one another, then apart, and repeated for 2 hours. Then, they spun and poof. Disappeared. My daughter saw them with me.
