One small, white circular glow through low cloud cover. Then 4 identical circular glows left one by one to describe a fast circular pattern to return to the fifth stationary glow. This occurred around a dozen times.

Casa Grande, AZ
I was walking my dog in an open field at about 0830-0845. Can't be sure of the exact time. The sky to the north was clear. To the east were some scattered clouds. I did not see or hear any aircraft in the sky at this time. As I walked, I looked up and a round object appeared at about 1100 o'clock in front of me. It was very bright and definitely round. There was no noise or contail. At first, I thought it was an aircraft. But dismissed the idea being that I never saw an aircraft reflect sunlight in perfectly round shape. After a about a minute or less the object had a line or a beam of light coming out of it at about its 100 o'clock. Then in a split second it was come. There was nothing in the sky that I would see for miles. I'm sorry to say I didn't get my cell out fast enough to get a video.

Columbus, OH
Several people, including myself, watched as a girl scared hundreds of sleeping crows out of a couple trees about 150 feet away. I was taking photos with my phone as the crows flew from the trees. I saw one light, or possibly several lights close enough together that it appeared as one. They were yellow-green to green-blue orbs. I didn’t give it much consideration as anything other than a star, planet or plane at the time. I was primarily observing the crows and didn’t notice the light move or disappear or reappear again until I looked at the pictures I had taken. My phone’s camera is set to ‘live’ mode so that when the image is ‘clicked’ and held it plays a short video or gif. In those short clips the object darts in different directions, seemingly unrelated to the cameras directional changes and disappear and reappear in frame. Upon further review, it looks like two other faint, but related, objects are also present.

Waterford, MI
While driving west on Pontiac lake road east of airport road intersection, a sphere appeared approximately 150 ft to my right overhead. I was traveling 40 mph and the sphere came out of nowhere and then accelerated and vanished. It looked like a smoke filled glass orb and travelled in a straight line before disappearing. I experienced a headache and felt nauseous. I’ve not seen this type of ufo before, nor have I ever felt unwell with a sighting. There was no sound, and unbelievably there was no other traffic for that time of evening. It’s been approximately 5 years since I’ve seen any ufo activity locally.

There were a bunch of white orbs that kept appearing in different corners of the area where the camera is and these light projectiles kept smashing into them and they would flash and turn smoky then disappear. After we watched it happen and downloaded the videos, many of the orbs disappeared out of the videos. There were faint faces in many of the orbs. The orbs were white, sometimes they turned orange after they were blasted a few times. The whole thing started around 12:39 AM and continued through almost 5 AM. We started arguing at some point close to 330-4 AM then there were more orbs and less light projectiles smashing them. The videos were definitely altered by whatever was out there. It's like many of the videos were the exact same one but they were all completely different originally.

i was going to get a domino pizza on a Monday because they offer 50% off (I'm not sure of the exact date but i can look up at my phone historical data to send it if you want) i was driving down 9th avenue when i saw this orange orb light about 2-3 meters wide about 25 - 40 meters in the air move around the church for almost a minute before going beyond the horizon over the saint Laurent river at least 4km+ from my position i attached a google map recreation of my itinerary and the exact location i also attached a photo from an online ufo sighting which looks EXACTLY like what I saw. as soon as i parked my car i opened the flight radar app on ios to see if any aircraft was responsible for these movements but the app showed no aircraft above the area i was. my name is joseph I didn't know anything about ufos until 2021 during the pentagon papers press coverage months near july, I read and watched everything about ufos i could find since, I'm a science enthusiast i'm familiar with science literature, I'm a tech geek, I owned many drones, i don't know any drone that can be 2-3 meters large and fly silently or without visible propellers large enough to support its weight, I owned few drones they are insanely loud, particularly at less than 30 meters. I could not attach my picture so here is a link from Imgur containing what i saw: https://imgur.com/a/uxnJ4xI I'm not putting my personal home address or real name for privacy reasons.

There was a small ball of light that was floating and flying around in slow circular motions in the middle of the night. It was making lazy loops and drifting around before going up higher into the sky then it came back over the corner of the house then went up into the sky and sat there. Before this there was a marshmallow shaped object that was floating in the sky above the house across the street. It kept lighting up then fading out then coming back. It appeared 3 dimensional when it lit up. It was very bright at times, was shaded, and possibly was turning in circles. At times there might have been what appeared to be a face on it.

Pueblo, CO
I walked out to my vehicle to grab a smoke while taking a 10 min break and put my phone up because my manager didn’t want me having it on the clock. I walked back to the smoke area and lit my cig. I looked up and admired how beautiful and blue the sky was. At that moment, a brown bumpy looking sphere just glided by above me. I looked around and nobody was outside to share the moment with. It was an extremely busy lunch hour. There are several restaurants in this area but nobody was getting in their cars or getting out. It’s as if time stopped. All of a sudden, my cigarette had burned down to nothing and I was late coming back from break. I looked up and the sky had changed to a light grey blue. There was a hole in the clouds above where I had seen the sphere. I lost 5-7 minutes that day. I had taken a couple of drags of my cig then poof, I was putting the cig out. The cigarette had obviously burned itself out or I smoked it and don’t remember. I’ve heard of folks losing time but I only lost 5-7 minutes.

I seen one sphere, or orb type object. It would jump across the sky like it was not affected by air, gravity, or the atmosphere. The object moved at incredible speed and displayed some of the characteristics of similar declassified uap reports.

A clear, bright red, glowing sphere slowly traveling West to East, stopping and starting multiple times until out of my view. Each time it started to move again, it left behind a "tail" that was fog-like, not red. Each "tail" was the same size in length. It appeared to travel the same distance each time before stopping again. It did not disappear, I just lost it in the distance. It did not change in size, shape or other- the color and intensity of glow did not change. It traveled in a relatively straight line with a slight dip nearing the end of my visual ability. I watched it for a good 10 minutes- should have taken a video. I have seen red, fire balls with tails that seemed like particulate matter. Closest to the fire ball, the tail was red, and went to red-orange, to yellow- decreasing in top to bottom height until it disappeared....This fire ball was traveling very fast....It was easy to follow.... This current sighting was not at all like that comet.

Le témoin rapporte en 2025 une observation faite en 2022. Le 7 novembre 2022, aux alentours de 22h45, un témoin, à la fenêtre de la cuisine de son domicile à Paris (75), photographie la cour intérieure de son immeuble, éclairée par la pleine Lune, alors visible dans son champ de vision. Il prend une première photographie et remarque la présence d'une petite sphère bleue au-dessus des bâtiments de l'autre côté de la cour. Après avoir réalisé d'autres photographies, il confirme la présence de cette boule bleue sur ces dernières, a posteriori, sur son ordinateur. De consistance* bonne, avec la présence de deux photographies ayant pu être analysées, bien qu'il n'y ait qu'un seul témoignage tardif, cette observation s'avère être celle d'un reflet parasite de la Lune dans l'objectif du smartphone utilisé par le témoin. *selon les critères du GEIPAN, la consistance est la quantité d'informations considérées comme fiables et objectivées, recueillies pour un témoignage. Cette hypothèse s'appuie sur les éléments suivants : - Le logiciel d'analyse d'image du GEIPAN, IPACO a pu être utilisé et démontre sans ambiguïté sur les 2 photos qu'il s'agit d'un tel reflet, occasionné par la présence dans le champ des images de la pleine Lune, qui apparait surexposée (forte brillance). Ce reflet est occasionné par la technologie interne du détecteur photographique qui conduit à le positionner à l'opposé d'une forte source lumineuse, selon un axe de symétrie centrale passant par le centre optique de l'objectif de l'appareil (voir annexe 1 et 2). La méthodologie inhérente à l'analyse de cet artefact peut être consultée sur cette page concernant les reflets optiques. - Forme ronde, comme celle de la Lune - Couleur qui peut être bleue, verte ou rouge, typique de celle de la couche protectrice extérieure de la lentille externe de l'objectif. Ce type de phénomène ne peut être visible que sur l'écran de contrôle de l'appareil, ou a posteriori, sur un ordinateur par exemple. Le GEIPAN classe cette observation en "A" : artefact parasite de reflet d'objectif. [GEIPAN classification A — Artefact photographique (Lune)]

I was driving north on highway 62 (North of College Street and South of Bell Boulevard) and noticed a very bright, glowing orange sphere moving from the west, in an easterly direction. It was moving at a smooth, steady pace in a straight line. I would estimate the object was approximately 35,000 - 40,000 in the air, and must have been very large. The orange glow was peculiar. It didn't shine like an LED light, but glowed more like plasma. Every now and then, it would glow a bit brighter, but didn't really appear to pulsate. I pulled into a parking lot on North Front street as soon as I could and got out of the car as the object passed over my head. Three small, white orbs appeared to come out of the object and then it just vanished. The entire sighting lasted approximately 45 seconds. I can't imagine that I'm the only one who saw this object last night. It was quite large and very orange. It really stood out in the sky.

I was leaving my house at 530am, i had just pulled out of my driveway, reaching the end of the street at my cul de sac, when i stopped to let a runner cross the street in front of me, otherwise i would have kept going as i usually would, and as i waited i looked up at the very dark barely blue pre sunrise sky and noticed a smallish cloud oddly lit up around its edges, no other clouds around were that way, this was a mostly clear morning but for two or three little clouds, that was when i first noticed this odd light dancing in and out of that cloud and zooming all around it playfully, i could even see it bouncing around inside the cloud quickly changing direction and making all sorts of erratic patterns. I watched it play around and in and out of that cloud for about a minute, when i decide to drive off somewhat perplexed… i had to catch the train to work. I get to the train station, i get onboard, and as the train is pulling off, i look to the sky in the direction i saw the dancing light, when i noticed the cloud it was playing in had a lit up silver lining, and what looked like trails of condensation in the sky all around that cloud in all sorts of odd patterns… i realized immediately that they were left by whatever was up there playing in that cloud. There were no planes in the sky yet as it was still too early for commercial flights, no helicopters, nothing. The sun hadn’t even risen yet, and no sight of the light, it was gone. In summary the light behaved like a playful hummingbird completely uninhibited and frivolous and unthreatened in anyway. What made it even more bizarre is that i live less than 10 miles from the capital in DC, and nothing flys like that around here, not even military planes. This was unique, and oh yes one last thing gravity mattered not to it, it moved in any direction effortlessly.

As I was talking to my father on the phone while walking my dogs in a small field near my apartment I looked up and noticed a white transparent orb in the sky. I couldn't tell if it was moving but it definitely looked out of place. I didn't think much of it at first then the more I looked at it the more confused I got. It appeared to be much higher in the sky than an airplane, but the size of it would be much bigger than an airplane. It also didn't make any sound. I continued looking at it to see if it would move (maybe to see if it was a weather balloon or a drone). But it was also very windy that day so if it was any sort of balloon it would be moving around rather quickly. The object I saw appeared to be still or hovering. Then as I continued looking at it the object almost appeared to turn or shift. And as it turned or shifted it got really bright. But not light on an airplane bright or star bright. It was as if it was a very bright reflection off of a shiny metallic surface. This was especially odd to me because of how far away the object appeared in the sky. It was even almost difficult to look at but I kept my eye on it as long as I could (2-3 minutes maybe). Then my dog pulled me in a different direction so I looked down to see what she was doing. It couldn't have been more than 3-5 seconds then once I looked up the object was gone without even a trace of where it was. I looked for about 15 minutes in the sky after it disappeared to see if I was maybe just overlooking it or to see if it would show up again. But I saw nothing else. And this was on a perfectly sunny mid-afternoon day where there were few clouds in the sky. So it would have been easier to track something down if it had moved in the sky. Unfortunately I didn't capture anything on my phone camera because I was on the phone with my father and processing what I had just seen. The final thing I noticed is this time of year birds are flying around everywhere as they prepare to fly south for the winter. But during this sighting there was nothing in the sky or even anywhere near where I was looking. I didn't think this was odd until I thought about the two times I took my dogs out before the sighting and the next time after the sighting when birds were flying everywhere and making noises. There was none of this during the sighting. But that could have also been a coincidence or me just not paying attention to anything but the object I saw in the sky.

Fremont, CA
Friday morning I arrived early to work, parked in the lot next to a coworker (also in her car), killed time in my car. After ten or fifteen minutes, she left her car for work and I followed. Upon locking my doors I felt the urge to look up. Standing to the passenger side behind the car, I saw an object in the sky. My coworker, wondering what I was staring at, looked up and saw it too. She didn't know what it was either. Coming from the East, around 9:45 AM in Fremont, CA, was a dark grey, almost spherical object, sort of flat on the bottom. Like a basketball that needs some air. I don't know how far away it was, or how high - I don't know how big it was... Having never seen it before I don't know what to compare it too, or it's scale. But it seemed very big and fairly close (within 5 miles?), and maybe somewhere around the same height most helicopters fly at. Definitely lower than the propeller plane that came by around the same time, also East to West (Cessna type plane). The object was very big. Had to be bigger than a Blackhawk helicopter or maybe even a Chinook. It wasn't a blimp or hot air balloon, I'm familiar with watching both. I know hot air balloons can come in different shapes, but this wasn't a balloon. It occasionally caught sun and shined or glinted around its edges. It moved too slow for an airplane, in my opinion, but steady paced. I did see a prop plane in the air also, for contrast, around the same time - they weren't close to each other. Two vastly different objects in the sky. It moved silently (I'm aware of stealth helicopters and the possibility of silent or near-silent propellers), in one direction for about 5 minutes - from the time I first observed the object. Then it changed directions - traveling from the East to the West, it just started going North. It didn't seem to turn, per se. No arcing turn, like a plane or helicopter. Because of this, at first it seemed to have stopped. I realized it changed directions because it started to get smaller, going away from my position. It was then, once the object was far away, that I thought to take out my phone and capture some images. But I felt it was a futile thing as the object was so far away and my phone's camera not having great zoom capabilities, etc. I took two photos without zoom, then two more with digital zoom maxed out. Those were blind shot, because I wasn't sure my camera could even see the object. The first two photos have the plaza I work at in frame, the object is a black speck, the prop plane is in both shots. In the second shot there are a bunch of objects. Not sure if they are from the object, or birds, but six are in a rectangular formation. Including the original object, I count 9, maybe 10 objects in total - in this one shot. The first of the last two shots seems to show the objects coming back together, or separating - not sure, its not clear what's going on. The last shot shows four similar sized and shaped objects. I think they were convex shaped disc-like vehicles that can stack on top of each other. Flat or concave underneath, and rounded on top. Maybe like stacked, upside-down bowls. So when stacked they appear as one unit? I was bummed out that I didn't have the clarity or focus to take pictures immediately. I was so much in awe, scared, and shocked too see this that I ignored my instinct to snap a picture. This was shocking and disturbing and awesome, and it can derail your mind-train. On my first break I looked at the photos and lost my mind. I had a witness with me that saw the object at the same time as I, she went in to work about five minutes before I did, but she saw the object when it was closer to us. I pointed it out to a passing postal carrier and asked if hot air balloons were common in the area. There had to be more witnesses. It flew in an suburban area with a large high school, two hospitals, etc. It was bright daylight at the time, and the object wasn't obscured by clouds. I'm open to all the possibilities. I don't know what I saw, but I know that I did see it and that it's not something I've ever seen before. My mind was reaching for explanations.

My husband and I seen white puffs, like clouds. Two of these were moving toward each other at a fast rate, then they swerved, to miss each other. The hill they were on was covered with these and some orbs. They seemed to be moving all over that area. Then just disappeared.

On Nov 2, 2022, my family saw a series of lights hovering nearby in the night sky. I saw them first and thought it was such an odd sight. I pointed it out to my husband and daughter. We thought perhaps it was helicopters hovering in a triangle formation but it would be impossible for them to appear that way. There was no noise and the objecys were red, orange, yellow in color. They stayed in position for at least a minute or two. They definitely were not moving because I could see the silhouette of the tree line and hill beneath them and the objects were static. But then they broke formation and went irrationally in different directions. They moved faster than any aircraft could possibly move. They almost hopped from one spot to another. I started filming them when the formation broke up. I also took a picture. It seemed like it lasted for a long time but it was probably 3-5 minutes total. I am reporting this now because I understand that there was a senate hearing about UFOs recently and these kinds of sitings are now being taken seriously. I have never believed in UFOs prior to Nov 2, 2022, but I absolutely believe in them now after what we saw. These objects were definitely not planes or helicopters or drones or sallelites. Nor were they laser lights or projections from land. They were objects in the sky that stayed in formation and then split up and bounced all around. I can't explain it, but I'm convince they were something not human made.

I was driving home on a wooded road. I noticed two amber orbs what seemed like above the tree line. They were moving along slowly, i pulled over and tried to film them with my phone, the lower one disappeared before I could film it but I got the higher one on film before it also disappeared. I filmed through the windshield so it’s not the best. I saw the same thing 10 years ago when in my hot tub so I was surprised to see it again.

Brother #1 A light appeared from above us, brighter and bigger than a star or airplane. The light had a white circular center with a deep orange tint on the outside of it. Moving horizontally North, it then started bending slightly northwest and then in a dipping descending trajectory at a seemingly physics defying speed, it turned and vanished. It seemed at least a mile in elevation and not out of the stratosphere. The path it followed started above Chuckanut Mountain, went straight over Bellingham and curved to Vancouver BC and then sharply turned at approximately 55 degree angle down towards northern Vancouver island. All in the matter of three seconds.

I saw the sun's reflection on the bottom of some huge clear sphere like 1k ft up in the sky. It was just sitting there hovering. I have 20/10 vision. It was NOT a balloon, drone, helicopter, plane, etc. It looked straight up like the bottom of a clear sphere was dipping just outside of a cloaking field. I got out of my car as soon as I noticed it wasn't an early morning star and I was PASSING IT as i drove down the interstate. Couldnt get a good picture or video obviously...
