Lords Valley, PA
At 2:45 pm i was reclining at our community pool and my view was looking west. i saw something way up about 90 degrees over my head heading west. it was black and i initially thought it was a bird very high up. however as i followed it as it moved away from me i became sure it was a vehicle under control. first it was a black equilateral triangle. there were cirrus clouds in the blue sky and it would momentarily go behind them so i estimated it was about 20,000 feet up. it was the size of half my pinky finger nail or maybe an eighth of an inch. it did not waver in its flight path. it traversed about 120 degrees of sky in somewhere between 45 seconds and one minute. it made no sound. the area I was in is a forest community and very quiet apart from some children in the pool. once the object was past me i should have heard a low rumble of exhaust. but nothing. there also was no exhaust contrail. i went to my subscription of flightradar24.com and input the UTC ! time of 18:30 to 19:00 and nothing with a transponder was over my community at the time. 14:45 translates into 18:45 universal time.i consider the event anomalous.of course, i always watch the sky but when at the pool i leave my phone home so it wont get wet. and that is always when you see these things.

My son calls me outside around 9pm it tells coming outside and look at all these object circling in the sky. The sky was partly cloudy. so was thinking maybe there were airplanes waiting to land maybe they were backed up because the storm we were suppose to get this weekend. I counted maybe like 12 ,So I started watching and then i started to video . I herd this loud noise almost like a jet or a large plane , but we don't have any airport that close to our house so i started to video this large object started and flying low down in area beside my house . So kept videoing it was loud and big, but right behind it i saw another object come down it didn't have a sound , but when came down all can see was bright object and then in a flash it disappeared. My son who was walking a few houses down call me freaking out that he saw something in the sky in front of him just hover in the sky and it disappeared. This is like the 3 time stuff like this has happen to hi! m. It was freaking amazing.

I am 51 years old and consider myself an amateur astronomer. I was observing the Perseids meteor shower with my mother and father in the front yard facing a north to north east direction. Most of the time when I am observing meteor showers, I use a 1x third generation night vision scope as I have found I can usually see triple the number of meteors compared to when I am observing naked eye. I had seen a fairly bright meteor about a minute before my sighting. Many times, meteors come in pairs, so I was observing a specific area of the sky waiting for a second meteor. The star Capella was observable in the upper right corner of my night scope. From the right upper corner of field of view, I thought I sensed movement near Capella. When I focused on the spot, I could clearly see a dark object moving very fast. As I started to track the object, I realized I was looking at a triangle. Besides being a triangular shape, there are several things which I found unusual. 1. There were no lights on the craft. Even the dimmest light would have shown in the night vision. 2. There was no sound. 3. It must have been flying fairly low because it looked to be about the size of my thumbnail held at arm’s length or was very large flying at a high elevation. I sensed it was flying at a lower elevation since it appeared there was a slight glow or haze to the object, maybe from light reflecting from the city lights on it. 4. It was not an equilateral triangle. The 2 sides were narrower than the back end. All the sides were flat. 5. It was a dark aircraft. I could not sense any details other than the general shape of the craft. Generally, if I see an aircraft through the night vision, it is light in color and much smaller compared to this object. The object was moving from north to a generally south direction. I tracked it for about 10-15 seconds until it disappeared behind our house. I estimate I tracked it for about 85 degrees of sky. My first thought was that maybe I was looking at a B2 Bomber. I could see the object good enough that I could tell the back end was perfectly straight, unlike the B2. Perhaps it was another military craft that I am not familiar with. I don’t know if the military is allowed to fly without any running lights. I have observed many planes through the night vision. It is very unusual to see a plane flying low enough at night that I can see its silhouette. Usually, I just see the lights with a slight hint of an aircraft between the lights and I always hear the aircraft, especially if it is flying as low as this one appeared to be flying. This is only the second time I have seen a plane flying without running lights. The only other time I have seen a plane flying at night without lights was immediately after the 9-11 attacks. While observing the object, I immediately started telling my folks what I was observing. Neither one of them were able to see the object. I know this was a short duration sighting and maybe it was just an unknown military craft, but I thought I would throw it out there.

While waiting to watch meteors from last night's meteor shower I noticed an object flying southbound exhibiting a triangular shape display of six blinking red then white lights. Each color remained for a second before changing. the white looked like the color of a white LED the red was similar to a red LED. The object moved at a constant speed and direction. the speed appeared to be similar to that of a high-flying jet. the Object disappeared behind a cloud over Portland before I could get my camera. Being a former air traffic controller and pilot for 50 years, I feel this was not a typical aircraft. a check of PWM tower and Boston ARTCC have no aircraft being tracked at that time in the area.

I heard about this on the news and have seen these before so my eyes were trained on the sky . The shooting star went from south to north through the night sky roughly one minute before . A triangle shaped craft high in atmosphere . With a red light in center . Moving from east to west in the sky from horizon to horizon . Completely silently . I tried to take a video maybe it can be spruced up or maybe it didn't record at all... I tried .. I than seen a formation of two high atmosphere airplanes moving west to east almost crossing the same flight path and altitude . Seemingly unaware of what was just in their flight path . It did not had blinking lights like a airplane . I live by naval weapons station Earle . And also a private airport . I know what an airplane is . This was three transfixed lights in triangle pattern with extremely bright center with red color . Seemingly big craft .

Was driving southbound on rt 95 near the Savannah Intl airport and saw, through the top left hand corner of the windshield 4 bright white lights move from a diagonal position into a a horizontal position approximately 200-300 ft high...seemed very odd...I slowed down to keep watching (this became dangerous on the highway) and began looking for structure under the lights like a pole, etc...wasnt sure if it was a billboard...as I moved past it, it was very clear that this was NOT a pole/streetlight/etc - it was a soft triangle (rounded corners) and was hovering...seemingly facing north...I would guess, based on the elevation, that it was approx 150'-200' wide

I saw several triangle shaped aircraft with white lights cutting through the sky which appeared to light up and reappear across the sky somewhere else very quickly and turning very quickly. They were darting in and out on a clear blue sky afternoon.

The experience unfolded in three parts: 1 — At roughly 10pm on Wednesday, August 4, I was gazing outside my bedside window as I listened to a book on tape. I stargaze often & I keep a pair of small binoculars on my nightstand to see deeper into the night sky. I noticed what appeared to be a satellite crossing my field of vision. Watching the light, it began to curve in an upward direction, circled back counterclockwise, & then settled motionless in the sky, seemingly appearing as just another star. I immediately grabbed my binoculars for a closer look. Inspecting the light/object, it shined in a manner that the nearby stars did not. The light seemed to curve & as I looked at it, I noted that it "twisted" its light in a very peculiar fashion. It was as if a dark serpentine tether was flailing around the object. I watched it remain stationary for another few minutes with no further light anomalies. I resigned that it was simply a drone & that, perhaps, police or military were testing out their technologies in the air space just offshore as they often do. 2 — This is where things get weird. Approximately 5-15 minutes after I observed this object in the night sky, I was again sitting on my bed, listening to the book on tape, with only my nightstand quartz lamp lighting my room. Suddenly, I had a strong intuition that something was about to happen. It was a feeling similar to the onset of deja vu. This feeling was followed by my room being LIT UP with a gridwork of white shining light. Imagine 10 strobe lights going off at once, but contained to a very geometrical grid that roughly spanned a 10' x 10' space across my bedroom. The grid FLASHED twice & vanished. I was completely stunned. Not necessarily in shock, but just stunned. These were not car lights. This was not like anything I've ever laid eyes on in my life. Yet my initial instinct was not in fear, but curiosity. I removed my headphones & again it happened, maybe 10-15 seconds after the initial flash. Except this time I noticed a small ball of light (roughly the size of your fist) tumble through the closed window on the far corner of the room prior to my bedroom again FLASHING with this same grid pattern of pulsing light, again two times, but in a slightly different location of my room. This time I additionally noticed three peculiar elements: 1) the air briefly "sizzled," 2) the pattern of the grid was aesthetically fashioned, as though I was looking at a holographic projection of an ancient temple, & 3) this light wasn't exactly light. Within the span of those second two pulses, the "light" appeared to slide & gather against the wall ABOVE the window through which the ball of light came tumbling through. It was almost as if this brightness was more of a substance than a light. I then entered something of an altered state of consciousness (markedly different from the initial deja vu feeling), although this too was very brief. I can't exactly pinpoint the sensation, but there was a certain heaviness, like gravity got a little thicker for that moment, & my ears slightly popped, as though I was surfacing from deep water. After the moment passed, it felt like all the air came flooding back into my room & I was left with this highly uncanny feeling & a deep silence. I couldn't explain what happened & I didn't know how to feel about it. I am certain I did not experience a seizure or any sort of otherwise momentary mental health break. 3 — That same night I had a dream, or what I perceived to be a dream, that was also particularly unusual. I saw multiple UFO crafts outside my same bedside window. From high above in the night sky, I watched them trickle down in a motion that resembled falling leaves. I recall 5 crafts in total: 2 hovering & 3 falling in this tumbling, spiraling leaf pattern. They were all a slate blue grey in color, isosceles triangular in shape, with rounded grooves at the bottom of the crafts. There were pale yellow circular lights adorning their frames. Why I say I perceived this to be a dream is because I woke up looking outside the window. I was standing up with my hands gripping the windowsill & my head leaning in for a better view. As I came to a fully waking state, I seemed to shake out of this dream trance & laid back down in my bed. I checked the time on my phone & it was shortly after 3am. As I lay in bed, I replayed the falling motion of these crafts again & again in my head. It sounds strange, but I simply couldn't get the movement in which these crafts fell out of my mind's eye. Even now, those falling movements strike a deeper, more uncomfortable chord in me than the lights which flashed inside my room. To my recollection, I've never dreamed of UFOs until that night. Thank you for taking the time to read my report.

Paoli, OK
My wife looked out our windows and saw lights hovering over our land at 11:30 in the evening. Our land is in a residential neighborhood in the middle of the country. Each house is on a few acres of land. It is very dark and quiet in our neighborhood at night. My wife said to me “there is a drone is watching us”. She grabbed her phone and we went outside. There was an object over our land behind our back yard that was about 500 feet – 600 feet or so above the ground and about 100 - 200 yards or so away from us. It was perfectly still with no movement for the entire time before it flew back west slightly upward towards the horizon. It kept a straight path until it disappeared. It didn’t disappear suddenly but just got too far out of our line of sight. The entire time we did not hear it make any sound. It was very smooth – motionless and silent. The object was the shape of a triangle and had three white lights at each point. It also had a red blinking light on occasion that emitted from the center of the craft. Our video from an iPhone is a bit blurry because the phone had trouble focusing as it is very dark in our neighborhood at night. If you zoom in on the video in certain parts, it comes into focus and you can make out the 3 lights very well. Naturally it could be a commercial drone, a government drone such as a DEA drone since there are a lot of marijuana farms in our county and state, or something unidentified. It certainly didn’t seem like a drone in person and if it was a drone it was a state-of-the-art drone likely from a government department.

I was laying in bed at night and looked out my window and saw a bright orange light. I walked up to my window and saw that it was gravitating towards me. Once I noticed it was coming closer I ran out my room and when I came back to check if it was still there, it was gone.

I let my dog out just after 2 a.m and saw 2 bright blueish silver fast flashing triangular objects. One over the other a small distance. It was very cloudy and there wasn't any visible stars or moon. They would get real bright then start flashing like a strobe light. I went and got my boyfriend and he saw them just before they faded out. This isn't the first time I have saw strange objects over us. After midnight most nights there is a lot of air crafts back and forth all night but barely any at all during the day?

While watching a thunderstorm on my balcony I noticed a black object moving slowly in the sky below the clouds. I began to record it and saw it was triangle or pyramid shaped and would occasionally emit white lights that seemed to be located on the points of the triangle or pyramid and the object was rotating strangely as it moved across the sky until it disappeared into the clouds.

At 11:50pm on July 27,2021, I saw red dots lights in a Christmas tree or triangle form. It was stationary for about a minute, then the dots faded to orange color and began to move slowly forward. As it moved color changed to white light, like a small fireball or star. After about 3 minutes, the color faded back to the red orange dotted triangle shape, then it receded, and completely disappeared. After 30 minutes, now Wednesday, July 28, 2021 at 12:20 AM EST, there appeared TWO of the exact same sighting I just described here. The second sightings were further away than the initial sighting. Both sightings included being stationary at first, then slow aligned movement, and sudden light fading then complete disappearance. Both lasted about 3 minutes. They appeared to move to a single same point in the sky before disappearing

Saw a bright reddish orange lights in a triangle dotted form. It stayed still at first, then appeared to move very slowly toward me, while looking up from my bedroom window. The lights changed to bright light, then faded away gradually, then it was gone. Within 10 minutes, now, TWO just appeared, but further away than the first sighting. Again they moved toward me slowly, getting brighter as they moved. Again they just faded away and we’re gone.

Coming home from a birthday dinner with my husband, daughter & grandson, while walking up a pathway from carport to access elevator to 3rd Fl condo unit we heard a rumbling sound and looked directly up to see a large, triangular shaped ship that had a very bright light from the ships center. It was not much higher then our 3 story building. It stayed hovering a few minutes. Us staring at it, & it at us, then it zoomed off. We were shocked and a bit frightened.

Napavine(?), WA
My two friends and I were heading north towards Olympia, Washington on I5 coming from Portland Oregon. We were past Winlock, Washington and not yet at Napavine, Washington. My friend (the driver) said to me (in the right side back seat) and his wife (who was in the passenger seat) something along the lines of hey do you also see that thing in the sky or is that just me. It was about 21:23. When I looked up there were about 6 or 7 white lights that were glittering in a triangle pattern. They were just stationary in the air above the trees forward and to the right of the car. I thought it was fireworks but they just stayed stationary glittering for about a minute while we discussed whether or not it was an airplane. I then thought I should take a picture of it and as I did the lights turned off one by one, or maybe two at a time, but not all at once and then it was gone. I got a picture with only two of the last lights on. About a minute later I took a screens! hot of where we were on the map on my phone. I have never seen anything like this before, I have no idea what it was. The driver and I are 21 and his wife is 22. He and I are college students and she just graduated.

There was an extremely bright light coming from the top of our neighbor's house (they are not living there right now). There are trees between our houses, but what I could see was a triangular shaped light (it reminded me of a window right at the peak of a roof, with the light shining from behind it). The light was so bright that it cast shadows in our yard. We have never seen a light that bright that it would light up our yard from that distance. We did not go over to our neighbor's yard to investigate it, but should have. We wish we would have taken a photo of it.

Black triangle with white lights on each corner and a sort of "observation deck" on one side. It flew silently flat side forward very slowly maybe 500 feet above my house. The next time I saw it it was hovering over a field near my house. The third time I saw it it seemed to follow me home from work. Each time I saw it it was about 9:00pm eastern time. I live in an area where F-16 fighter pilots are commonly trained and fly over my house.

I was driving to pick up pizza when I noticed about 6 lights in formation not moving but very bright. Called my bf to confirm he could see it too. Arrived home and still saw them in a triangle form still not moving. After about 5 mins they changed form, when into a straight line and 3 of them disappeared. They would disappear and reappear in triangle / line formations. I have a video of the incident. And one of my pictures I was able to catch a blurry what looks to me like a saucer.

We were sitting in the back yard by the fire pit talking. It was a clear night sky. After about an hour, I happened to look up and saw a craft. It had lights, but they weren't flashing. It moved at relatively slow pace. Well this was going on, a friend came out of the house from using the bathroom. I pointing to him the craft. I asked if he noticed any lights blinking or flashing. He didn't. Then, the craft just disappeared. Vanished. About 2 minutes later and airplane with red flashing lights flew by.

Kenton, OK
I am a part time amateur astronomer/astrophotographer and full time roofing salesperson. I was staying at the Black Mesa Bed and Breakfast in Kenton, OK, there doing astrophotography. The early part of the night was cloudy so I went to bed but woke up at 3am to check the skies. Instead of taking the hour to set up my equipment, I decided to bring out my blanket and 2 pillows with my stabilizer binoculars and my PVS-14 3rd generation unfilmed white phos night vision scope, and do some stargazing. About 3:30, at the zenith using my night vision scope I saw an equilateral triangle craft above me at about an estimated 30,000 ft. The craft had 3 white stationary lights on each corner and the center was translucent. I could see about 10 or 11, 10th magnitude stars in the center of the triangle which told me the craft was cloaked. The stars above or thru the craft were not blurred, as they looked normal. I attempted to try and locate the craft with my Canon 12x60 ! Stabilizer binoculars but could not, telling me the lights on the craft were too dim for the naked eyes to pick up. There was no sound from the UFO craft but I could hear jet aircraft in the same area before the sighting and after.
