Greer, SC
I was driving down Wade Hampton Boulevard on my way to work and saw a bright, vivid green light appear in the sky, traveling quickly southwest for a few seconds before disappearing. It appeared to be within typical airplane-flying height, though I have no way to be sure if it was. There were no aircraft in the area, and no other lights in the sky in that area. It did not reappear at any point. I suppose it could have been comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), though I doubt a comet would be visible to the naked eye in that area due to all the street lights and I'm also not sure it is currently at a point where it would be visible to the naked eye in even a clear area. I'm fully certain that what I saw was an explainable object or phenomenon, but I recalled reading another report on this website about a green light that I believe was also from South Carolina, so I decided to report this anyway.

Bemidji, MN
Walking home from work on a cold clear late dusk/early evening and was almost home, I glanced up in the sky and noticed a bright, stationary light like a star, just about a finger’s length down towards the horizon from Venus. (Later I verified that the star was indeed Venus, which was visible about 3 degrees above horizon, in W -SW direction.) The bright light was very noticeable, since it was about the apparent brightness of the star above it (Venus). Then, a second or two later as I was gazing at the light, it just seemed to dim, then darken and then disappeared completely from view. It did not seem to move as it did this, it just disappeared. Thinking there might have been a passing cloud, though as I said I could not see any clouds in the sky. Curious to see if it would reappear, I watched for several minutes more (approx. 5 min.), but light did not reappear. Strangely enough, I could see the stars coming out, verifying to my sense that it was indeed cloudless. sky. We live in a small city located in a rural area, so there is not a lot of light pollution. Other than it disappearing, it did not do anything else anomalous. I have seen other anomalous lights in the sky in our area, so am curious what this might have been. I have seen plenty of meteors, but this did not behave like I would expect a meteor to (unless a meteors coming in directly head-on towards a viewer’s position on Earth would look this way, or perhaps I was not looking up when the comet flew across the sky to the point I observed it at? I think I would have seen something of the comet’s tail, in that case)

Pacific ocean, Unspecified
I was a pilot on united flight 33 from NRT to LAX over the pacific flying east bound. Both of us pilots on duty saw the same light(s) moving rapidly up and down left and right for a period of 30 to 45 mins. An American flight on common frequency reported the same lights. They would appear very bright then fade but moved too fast to be a satellite or airplane.

In the sout west (more towards south) I can see a 'cluster of stars'. It is stationery and is twinkling like a star.

Every night past 3 years these things travel on the side of me at night they change colors green and orange the look blimp shaped sometimes the have flashing lights they stay hovering all night until sun comes up my cousin has witnessed them come right up on top of my vehicle at first I thought they were drones but I can’t pick there signal up they change when I photograph them I have so many pictures and videos it’s ridiculous it’s also very annoying already I don’t necessarily think there aliens but it’s some type of unidentified object

ORLANDO, FL
We were driving on innovation road on the way to avalon park, when I saw bright balls of orange lights moving slowly in the sky in a row. We are used to planes and helicopters because we live near orlando international airport and these were not those. There were airplanes and helicopters in the air that you could see and you could tell. The difference. My son took a video and you can see them in the air at the 1 min 4 second mark.

Oro Valley, AZ
While driving north bound on La Cholla Blvd. in Oro Valley, AZ I noticed a bright light in the sky ahead of me moving slowly. Suddenly, a smaller and more dimly lit object came from the Southwest towards the brightly lit object. At first, I thought it was a fast-moving jet on an intercept course with the bright object, which I eventually recognized as a plane or helicopter, but the dimly lit object (UFO) passed by the first object and kept moving to the north at an extremely high rate of speed. The UFO was traveling so fast that it literally went from somewhere over my head to the horizon in a matter of about 10 seconds. As the UFO approached the horizon to the north, it arced towards the northeast and disappeared over the horizon. I was in the process of taking a picture of the brightly lit plane or helicopter when the UFO appeared. I took a picture, but only the lights of the two objects can be seen with no detail other than the amount of light they were emitting.

They seemed stationary relative to the horizon and the aircraft that passed through my field of observation. They were to the north of the moon and slightly lower in sky. Too bright to be stars, I got my phone and opened Sky Map app to find out what planets were aligned like they were and, when I looked up again, they had vanished.

Danville, CA
It was around 5-5:30 in which my family and I (my father and eldest sibling) were heading out to pick up some Afghan food in Dublin/Livermore. We headed out via Camino Tassajara Road (Country side region) where we passed Tassajara Hills Elementary School and the soccer stadium nearby, as reference markers. A few minutes later, while listening to music, I looked to my left and saw a stationary object of pure light hovering at a high altitude. Note too, there was a radio on with my family members talking, but neither was too loud to completely overwhelm my senses. Regardless, no obvious sound, movement, or even the common “position lights” of common aircraft were apparent — non-existent. I recorded this object for around 43 seconds, but had my eyes on it some seconds more prior. Even when I wasn’t recording and looked with my naked eye, I could tell there was no movement whatsoever. In regards to the video, it is wobbly given the rough, hilly road, so I do apologize for that, but hope it helps. Now first and foremost, I must inform whoever sees this: there are no signal towers that are of that altitude, nor multiple in the distance that could breach these clouds, or be apparent (usually “dim” but still noticeable, however, not like this), no position lights, thus no aircraft, nonetheless, seemed “odd”. Usually you can see a dark dot to indicate a general idea of form, with objects of our knowledge in this time of day (while being overcast, there was a good portion of light left). While some may rule this out as a helicopter, signal tower, etc, none seem viable. Any grammar, tonal or spelling mistakes, forgive me, since I’m very tired at the moment. Any questions, always welcome to contact me. Thanks

Started as a very faint light that began to move at almost lighting speed that eventually turned into a massive ball of fire And then dwindled away.

Two pilots reported to ATC that they saw a white light moving left and right slowly dimming and brightening for 15+ minutes. One pilot reported the light was above their altitude of 35,000 ft. This report is being made on the pilots behalf.

I'm not new to viewing objects in the night sky. I can identify various planets and star formations. My boyfriend and I recently purchased a hot tub so we've been spending a lot of time relaxing outside at night and looking up. We watch the airplanes and helicopters fly by, and we've tried tracking the starlink but have yet to see it, although I'm aware what it looks like. I've even seen a couple shooting stars recently. Nothing, however, explains what I saw last night. It was so fast, the words wouldn't come out, and my thoughts struggled to catch up with what my eyes were seeing. I saw 3 lights in the distance disappear out of view due to our garage and shouted "what was that!?" My brain tried to rationalize that it was maybe 3 shooting stars moving together. It was as fast as one, without a tail, and was triangular in shape, with one star in front leading the other 2. I then saw the lights move up and align in a vertical line in the sky ( now maybe 5 of them), my brain wondering "wait, is that the starlink?," before the lights disorganized, one moving out of line, and circling the rest as they moved down where trees were blocking my view. As quickly as they appeared, they were gone. They made no noise, moved as quickly as shooting stars, were erratic in movements, but also synchronized. My boyfriend had no idea what I was seeing because I couldn't get any words out before they were gone. I never imagined I'd see something like this, nor have I ever tried looking for abnormalities in the sky. I am still shocked and processing what I saw, but it was unbelievable!!

It was traveling very slowly and almost in a straight line. The circular light was only in the center, but you could see that there was more around it. It was definitely not an airplane.

Each night of observations become a better understanding of these almost daily visits to the neighborhood I live in. What is visiting our areas is constantly monitored by planes. Neighbors, using spotlights to see if the object will shed their protective clear appearance. The objects are usually the same color as its environment... cloud, tree or clear sky, but blurred.... that's what you need to look for. Recently I have a been focusing my observations with what looks like particle beams with a line of intermitted lights. Follow lights, you get to what appears to be a craft. I think the main ship maintains an elevation over the level that planes travel. Main large object stays connected to the smaller objects at a much lower elevation with these particle beams, this way the smaller ships can be maneuvered with no noise. The breeze felt on the ground when the objects are descending, is the particle beam pushing the smaller object to which is eventually the tree line. Their approach is a little different each night, but they never go below the tree line. It's frustrating… It’s a theory that is evolving.

Chino ca, CA
I was driving southbound on the 71 freeway in Chino Hills California. I noticed a bright light in front of my truck up in the sky. And then noticed three more lights so I snap a photo. At that point they were two lights, then a third light appeared at this time I kept shooting photos until the lights disappeared. This all happened with in minutes. The Cleveland national forest was in the background in the light seem to be above the foothills in Chino Hills. Please enlarge photos to see objects.

Chandler, AZ
My friend and I saw what looked like a bright white star moving unnaturally quickly across a clear night sky at ~8:15 pm in Chandler AZ. The object was first seen directly above us, then traveled over the horizon in less than 10 seconds. The object did not dim or burn out like a meteor but was persistently a bright white light. The object left no trail and made no sound. The object was moving too quickly to be a man-made satellite.

Prince Frederick, MD
Around 5:50 pm on 1/6/23, I looked up to the sky. There was cloud cover, but a circular white light appeared and was visible behind the clouds. Because of that I would estimate it was the same distance from Earth that an airplane would be. It moved quickly in an erratic zigzag pattern for less than 5 seconds and then disappeared. There was no beam between it and Earth like I would have expected if it had been a spotlight of some kind. After the initial sighting, it reappeared less than 30 seconds later in the same location, and moved in the same pattern, again for less than 5 seconds, and then disappeared. There was an airplane that went by after the second appearance, but it seemed lower in the sky than the ball of light.

Chino Valley, AZ
The light was seen on two different mornings about the same time. 30 degrees above north west horizon. Very large light. Definitely not an aircraft. Light did not change position. Remained stationary for over 15 minutes. On the second sighting the light was in the same place. Suddenly turned green for 30 seconds and became red again. I am a commercial pilot/flight instructor and an engineer. This was NOT an airplane or helicopter. There are no towers in the hills in that location.

Seemingly an airplane with flashing red and white lights, but aircraft was not moving.

Could not be stars. Not planes landing as I am facing East and planes were landing from the west. Not planes leaving as the landing lights would be on the front. Not planes in the landing pattern as they are too close together and flying over the path of departing planes. I am trying to see how to send the picture.

I was able to ask them anything I wanted. I didn’t think to ask if I could touch them or if I could take a picture. Clearly that would be too much to show the world at the moment. I gained unimaginable amounts of knowledge. Chiefly, there is a galactic confederation that governs the galaxy. Govern is a misnomer here but it’s much more complex than words can describe. Life has formed uniformly and around a single point, as all bodies in our galaxy have over such a span of time. It’s not about proof here it’s about sharing the truth of the universe. It’s plain for all to see if they are willing. Most people aren’t ready to face this reality so they don’t. A galaxy full of beautiful life and development truly beyond our wildest dreams awaits. As soon as we can stop focusing on war and fear, and begin focusing our efforts in one unified direction. This is how evolution flows. Imagine Saturns rings. True perfect uniformity I’m all its beauty. This is how we must live. Free energy, the far reaches of technology, billions of other species like us. The very end of suffering. This is what awaits us. I don’t know how else to share this so I’ll give this a try. Maybe if enough people understand then they will come back and let me take a selfie with them lol.
