My 3 kids and I (ages 13, 11, 9) were taking a walk at dusk in our subdivision after dinner. It was getting dark so we were headed back toward our house. Suddenly, we noticed a bright round object hovering above us (not still, slowly moving). It was lit very brightly. It was moving steadily and slowly, at the speed of a floating balloon. It was completely noiseless, and appeared round. It did not appear to have wings or any shape even remotely close to a plane or helicopter. It was as close to our heads as a kite would be, maybe closer. It appears much further in the video, but the video is not a good reflection of what we actually witnessed live. My 13 year old took out her phone and recorded it, but by this point, it had already moved away from us in proximity. After she stopped recording, it suddenly vanished. We could no longer see it, which was weird because the light was so bright just seconds prior. Something that bright should have been visible even from a distance. In the video, you can see a bat fly by the lens of our camera. Even the bat is flying faster than this object, which is so strange and fascinating.

We saw 9 small ball of lights travel from west to east spaced out over a few minutes of time very odd and unexplainable!

I took videos. Glowing fireballs moving across the sky. Approximately one minute behind the next. They were orangeish/red in color and resembled round balls of fire. They made no noise at all. The lights did not blink and moved in a straight line.

A large circle of lights non blinking. About the size of the moon but not close to the moon. Stationary. After awhile it began to fade. Very bright.

Coweta, OK
I was leaving the house for work and looked up to the sky, over the top of our house while in the driveway. There was a bright light moving out of the west, going east, and my first impression was a helicopter because of the single white light. It's speed was so incredibly fast, and I noted there were no red or blue navigation lights, and the closer overhead it got, there was absolutely no sound. My husband came out to see what I was standing there looking up at just as it flew over and I pointed it out. Just as he said "I see it" the object began to fade from as bright as a star to a dimmer and dimmer white, moving so fast toward the east, then vanished. It moved so quickly, that it covered such a distance, with no sound, no flashing lights, I was dumbfounded. My husband said it was probably the ISS, but once I got to work and googled its schedule, it is not due to pass over our area until this evening - visible for 7 minutes the NASA schedule says. This object was visible for less than half of that time. I am still baffled by this.

Huge circular shaped aircraft seen with flashing blue, green and red lights around its edge emitting noise. It was moving diagonally before hovering above a residential street. Low in the sky enough like a helicopter before moving diagonally over houses and disappearing.

I was sitting out on the steps on the deck of backyard. Through the trees, I saw a bright light and thought it was odd. I got up and saw a semi circle of lights on a hovering circle object. The lights were dull to bright, very slowly hovering left to right. I ran in to get my family, to show them out of disbelief. They too see the object and we alerted the neighbor who also came out to see the strange hovering object. It stayed in the area for a good 30 minutes before going higher in the sky and out of sight. I also received clearer image from another person via fb that captures a clearer image. My phone doesn't catch night vision

Mount Pleasant, TX
While sitting against the car in my driveway my girlfriend and I were observing the night sky. We saw shooting stars, planes, etc.. However, upon further inspection much higher then any plane (There were planes in other locations in the sky at the same time) We observed a grey, dot like UFO/UAP performing a triangular pattern then nonchalantly vanished. It proceeded to reappear not 2-3 seconds later a bit further from the location heading west. About two minutes after two more grey, dot like, objects criss crossed in the sky then also dissipated. Another minute wen’t by and the last grey, dot like object appeared going west in a straight line then proceeded to dissipate also. Its been about 14-15 minutes now after observation, however this is not my first sighting here in the area, specifically my neighborhood. I had an encounter last year a few months after my neighbor had mentioned two lights in the sky. One greenish, one red/orange in which I actually have photos. Unfortunately, I don’t have a camera good enough to capture these this evening. They’re simply too far away for my phone to pick up.

Kiawah Island, SC
My husband and I were walking the beach and we saw a reddish orange sphere in the sky that seemed to be moving and then began to hover in one place. We both took photos and video of the object. When we returned to our vacation rental house, I searched the Internet for any strange sightings of unidentified flying objects on Kiawah Island, SC. Internet search returned news articles and video footage of an object that appeared identical to the one we saw tonight (9/15/22). The previous unidentified flying object had been witnessed on 12/31/18 and there is video footage available online of this object. It seemed the object we saw vaguely changed colors (red to orange to yellow to white), the object seemed to change shapes from three small close connected spheres to one large sphere, it changed from a sphere to a more diamond looking shape then changed back to three small close spheres and then back again into one large sphere multiple times while we observed it. My husband and I both felt a “need” to observe the object. We felt transfixed by the object, it was difficult to stop staring at the object. We also noticed what appeared to be three planes and a helicopter forming a triangular shape and flying toward the object. I have heard two helicopters flying over our vacation rental since returning from the beach. The object seemed to pulsate at times. became brighter and dimmer

I saw a singular unidentified flying object hovering far up in the sky. It’s suddenly faded away as if it disappeared. I kept trying to look around to find it, and when I looked up and saw an airplane with a vapor trail I noticed that the object had reappeared and was following the airplane. There is a second object in the lower left area of the screen that can be seen fading away near the end of the clip. The short eight second video shows me filming the plane again briefly after and the object completely disappeared by then.

I was on my phone sitting down at the top of a hill after a walk & as I stood up, I looked up and witnessed a semi linear group of bronze/white objects move quickly across the sky. I stood up and I tracked them for a few seconds & as I did so they grouped up, became one & disappeared. The sighting lasted around 5 seconds. They were seemingly close & each about the size of the moon when it’s at its highest point. They were silent and moved very oddly. This is the only time I’ve seen anything like this.

It was 7 : 27 pm . I was sitting outside my house facing towards the sky and saw this shining star move in a straight line I guess from south to east . I have filed a similar report on 28 August 2022. But today it was not flying in the same direction it did earlier. And again today i saw the same thing. A flying object was moving in a straight line. It was not an aeroplane nor a falling star because a plane has lights in its belly which were not present there and also a falling star goes downwards not in a straight line. Earlier i was the only witness of this sighting but now i have two other witnesses as well. It was moving very slowly and was shining just like a star.

Trying to get son back to sleep at approximately 4:30am on 9/13. I was already 1 cup of coffee awake. We have windows in our cathedral family room with nice views of the night sky looking east. I often admire the night sky and haven’t noticed anything like this. Noticed sphere good size with oscillation light which appeared to rotate around sphere. Sphere appears bright white with specks of blueish and reddish flickers oscillating around the sphere. Assumed initially a star but continued to observe. Sphere appeared fixed for good amount of time approx. 10 minutes then slight movement southeast before completely vanishing from my fixed view. Captured picture and video of sphere. Also downloaded multiple Star and planet aps which I couldn’t make sense of the object in reference to aps. Doesn’t appear to be Starlink since it was only 1 sphere in sky which appeared much larger then other visible stars. Other visible stars could still be scene after the sphere disappeared. We do have a flight path over our home/area to DFW. Did not see any incoming planes while noticing sphere. Object was spotted going southeast of home where object could be scene and I assume it continued the southeast in direction. Picture was taken 4:37am and video at 4:38am. Both are not edited. Video noise in background is ceiling fan chain hitting the operating ceiling fan. I don’t know what I saw. Simply want to report to your agency since we are near flight path to DFW and for any national security purposes.

I was walking to the gym early on 9/13/22 at 4:45 am and I noticed a bright light in the sky to the north. It appeared to be near Nellis AFB but I could be wrong. It was orange and pulsing and it remained stationary for 8-10 minutes. No sound was heard coming from it. The light kept pulsing for about 10 minutes and then it suddenly turned into 4 small blinking lights in a box pattern and began to very slowly move to the west. I also saw the same object a day or two later at the same time of day and same location.

Fairport, OH
I'm using my phone I don't have word processor. Three of us were outside getting ready to fish, it was dark. I was looking at the stars and seen a shooting star. I yelled for my friends to look and grabbed my phone to video it. I think the whole thing was about a minute from start till I said I lost it. I couldn't find the shooting star with my phone, and kept looking and I pulled my phone away once. Thought I didn't get anything. So I was going to delete the video and thought I'd check it before deleting it why I don't know. That's when I seen 2 white lights then it turned almost like whatever it was. Was round because then there was a red light with the 2 lights. I can't describe how it loomed,, another white light showed and in the video the lights were closer than it should have been in my video. Then it went away to the left in my video fast. It was not a plane or helicopter. The reason it's taken me this long is because I didn't know who to contact without thinking we were all crazy amd try and tell us what I seen was something else. I believe there is life out there but never believed in ufo's and what I seen.

Wife called me outside to observe the orange lights. Initially, there were 4 lights travelling from South to North, then eastward until they were no longer visible. Additional passes of 2 shapes traveled the same path, disappearing to the East. No noise was heard while observing. My 5 yo lab mix did bark while I was filming.

I was out front of my house waiting for Space X to launch a Falcon 9 rocket at 2109. From Lake City, Fl at night we can see a small flame as any launched rocket from KSC. Typically any launch travels from South to North. What I witnessed tonight was moving South away from me with a continuing flame. That’s why I thought it was tonight’s launch. That’s why I got notice that the launch was moved back to 2119. What I was watching was minutes before the launch took place.

This object was circular in nature, pulsing multi colored lights and remained stationary the whole time I observed it. I have a short video of the object.

It did not seem to be moving but when I tired to video it would go in and out of focus. I am not sure what this is but it’s the second time in about 4 or 5 days that it’s been near my house. I took pictures and video but it seemed to disappear or vanish after about 20-25 minutes, It’s circular, bright around the circle, dark in the middle and did not make any sound.
