Harrisonburg, VA
Not usually up at this time but happened to look out my window early the morning of 5/16/20 and noticed a bright orange-white object in the sky East from my vantage point in western VA. Because of clouds moving across the sky, the object was in and out of my view and at one point seemed to change shape..almost a rectangular shape, small end up. I could not discern any movement, it seemed to be stationary.This was a very bright light tho not quite neon. Eventually disappeared or was covered by clouds tho I did hang around to see if it would reappear...it did not.

Mokena, IL
My husband and I walked out of our home and began walking together eastward towards our neighbor’s home. We approached their house and went around back to their deck. As we stood on their deck talking, we were facing their home (south). Approximately 10 minutes after our arrival, we saw this extremely bright, pulsating object appear over their roofline moving west to east/northeast at a somewhat steady pace from what we could tell. It was about the size of a golf ball held at arm’s length. When my husband first set eyes on it, he saw it as a spinning sphere-shaped object. When I looked at it initially, it was an odd shape – like a rectangle with a circle at one end. It was not a Chinese lantern, satellite, or anything else familiar to us. It was difficult to tell how far away or above us it was. As we faced south, it appeared to the southwest at a 40-degree angle from us. We did not see any lights on it that would indicate it was an aircraft (red, green, or strobe lights), and it was silent. It was sphere-shaped, bright white with other purple-blue flashes of color and appeared to be pulsing and spinning. It was difficult to focus on with! your eyes to see any distinguishing features. Our friend tried opening a Stargazer app on her phone to see if it showed as a satellite, and had trouble getting her phone to cooperate. While that was going on, which was maybe 3-5 seconds, I looked back towards the sphere/light and noticed the object changed altitude somehow when it was about 90-degrees in front of us. It was now about the size of a dime held at arm’s length and about to pass behind a tree in the next neighbor’s yard. My husband had been trying to video the object when it was closer but the camera app crashed and he had to reopen the app and try again. He jumped up onto the deck bench to have a higher perspective and was able to begin the video recording after it passed behind the tree. The object was now to our left (southeast) at a 20-degree angle from us and at a much higher altitude. The sighting lasted a total of about a minute before it disappeared to the east-northeast at an 80 to 90-degree angle from our position. After zooming in on his video later, and watching it frame by frame, it was morphing between shapes and colors mentioned above. He took screenshots from the zoomed-in video, and took a screen recording of the original video zoomed-in on his iPhone. My husband is an engineer, has an FAA Airframe & Powerplant license, and is an amateur drone pilot. I work in accounting and was once a private pilot.

Colorado Springs, CO
I was standing in my backyard garden taking photos of birds and the flowers this morning. I live near a school, and there was someone playing a trumpet on the hilltop, I looked in that direction and noticed a single object reflecting sunlight, I had initially assumed it was a bird of prey. I took several photos of the object as it passed quietly over the sky beyond my house, catching the first image as it crossed behind my neighbor's chimney. I took over 30 images, but at that distance and without my glasses I could not tell what I was looking at. When I loaded the images on my computer I was shocked to see a strange object, and in the images it appeared to change shape a few times. I have the pictures, taken today. The object slowly moved across the sky, and then rose to a very high altitude when I lost sight of it, and stopped taking photos.

Port Richey, FL
I went into my back yard to take my dogs out around 9:00 pm and as I stood on my patio I noticed a strange light in the sky at about 245 degrees west,(I checked my phone's compass because I texted 2 friends to see if they could also see it) and about 20 feet up if looking at the horizon line ( but it was far in the distance) at first I thought it was a plane because it was twinkling green and red but after a few minutes it did not move. I had seen it the night before but went inside to find binoculars and when returned it was gone so I had disregarded it as a plane that I mistook. however, tonight, 2 nights in a row I have seen this strange object in the same exact spot. This time, I had my phone on me so I took video footage of it and sent it to 2 of my friends. In the video the colors are clearly changing between green, red, blue and purple. One of my friends also saw it and sent me a video back, however she saw several of these objects. I was able to get my binoculars and it was very bright and the colors changed rapidly. I turned my back to let my dogs back inside and it was gone.

Waddell, AZ
A bright light towards the direction of Heber/overgaard from Waddell, AZ that appeared to be a shimmering star, was clearly visible even to my mother without her glasses. The light was flashing too rapidly and brightly to be a nearby planet. After roughly 20 minutes, the light began changing colors from several colors as if in a pattern (red,white, yellow, blue, green, purple), all colors were clearly visible but no distinct pattern. Approximately 30 minutes after the light began to change colors, it appeared to dim or become more distant, which it then multiplied.1 light on top, a second slightly below and to the left or north, and a 3rd at the lowest point in line with the highest or 1st light. All while continuously changing colors. After roughly an hour, it became one flashing light again; which eventually dissipated entirely.

Los Angeles, CA
Silent craft, maybe the size of a VW Beetle, floating 1500 ft away.It looked like a gyroscope, emitted some colors and had some lights randomly flashing every so often,from the bottom. It didnt move around much, but looked like it changed shapes fluidly. It ignored the west wind, maintaining position, with some sway back and forth, going into the breeze at times, as a balloon would not be able to do. It imperceptibly moved away in a straight line heading south and away from me. My wife saw it. Not a kite, as it gradually moved away too high and far to be on a string, to silent to be a drone.i got some video and a couple of pics from that. This was almost the exact spot I had a major sighting a few years ago.

Arnegard, ND
I had been working night shift all night and noticed what appeared to be a dying star or a meteor above a row of tanks to the north west. I decided to drive up the hill away from the flares on location to see it my eyes were playing tricks. So I watched for a couple minutes and decided to go back. As I was getting back in my truck I looked up again and saw this object move from the left to the right. I thought maybe I could get a better look if I had the time to set up my telescope. Then I seen it start flashing and start to get brighter At that moment I watched it fly from the Northwest to the southwest in a matter of seconds. Then it stopped and started circling around a few other stars. I wondered if it could have been space junk or a destroyed sattelite until the 2 "stars"t was circling started to move. The 2 objects started chasing eachother moving down towards the horizon. Then as they moved around one another, they both made these strange je! rky movements and then all I could see was what looked like red electricity then a red and blue explosion that light the inside of the clouds up. After the explosion I seen one of the objects moving towards the horizon, then I notice vortex from where he was grom but it dissipated quickly. Then I seen it changed shape or take shape since the I couldn't make out the initial shape of the object since it was moving too quickly, that's when I seen it turn black and shiny. As it hit the horizon it disappeared and reappeared a short distance from where it was. It did this twice before I lost sight of it. After that I was amazed but also shocked at what I seen. I decided to set up my telescope to see if what I seen was a sattelite flying over head or something falling from orbit. While I set up I looked towards the spot I seen the explosion. seen another object fly to the north with the same speed and movements as the others. I watched it stop in the sky and stay still. Then 2 ! more joined it and another one fly below the others and stay s! till. Th en after about 5 minutes they moved into a triangle like formation and pulse and shaking. As I watched another object maneuver around what appeared to be more stars make another explosion followed by a bunch of little red dots and flashes, in a matter of a seconds it was done. Then one by one these objects flew into this triangle formation towards the top in the same spot as the others then speed up and disappear. I watched close to 15-20 fly through and disappear while for a second every time they passed through it looked like a very small vortex form and disappear. I was awestruck and a little frightened. At the very end I seen the bright one that I had first seen, and it passed through and disaapeared as well. Then I watch all 3 objects fly in that same pattern towards the east. As it was leaving it looked as of there was a faint line in between them. It looked like it tilted upwards, but it was hard to tell, then they disappeared. I forgot to mention that all of these o! bjects had a white light that would change intensity; the one I seen turned black had a the shape of a Bell then as it turned black it looked like a dumbbell with a bottle cap on the top towards the middle. The rest were more saucer shaped but not as compressed. The bright one was harder to make out from it’s speed and the way it pulsed. I've seen this same triangle formation years ago in Wing, ND.

At 20:30, 20 min after sunset, I noticed something moving in the northern skies, got my Nikon camera, with 40x optical zoom and zoomed in to see what looked like dark balloons moving from north to south toward the town Richmond. After about 2 minutes, it changed shapes several times as it approached some power lines in the west of my location, about 3 miles away, and appeared to attach something onto the lines and moved on down a hill alongside of the electric lines out of view. I'm a retired locomotive engineer with many hours of observing the skies.

Chennai (India) · India
On the 9th of May, 2020, 5 residents in Gem Stone Apartments, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India witnessed a UFO at around 09:40 p.m. Indian Standard Time (1610 hours Greenwich Mean Time or 1610 hours Coordinated Universal Time) from the rooftop. Exact coordinates from where the UFO was sighted is 13⁰05’15”N 80⁰11’12”E, in an eastward direction from this location. The UFO was one single craft, and appeared to be at a very high altitude, at least 15,000 feet. The conditions at the time the UFO was spotted were: 1. Clear skies 2. No clouds 3. Stars were visible 4. No aircraft around (because the country was under lockdown and all means of travel suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis) 5. No sound made by the craft. 6. No change in behavior of animals 7. No physical effects observed 8. No marks on bodies after sighting The UFO appeared to be spinning with no particular axis and kept moving erratically around a star in the night sky. The UFO did not emit any light, but there seemed to be a very faint aura or haze around it. The UFO itself was shape-shifting and was visible very faintly because of its high altitude and very low levels of illumination, so one had to strain his/her eyes to be able to see it. The UFO’s color could be described as cloudy, translucent and white. The UFO seemed to have multiple faintly visible “tails” which appeared and then disappeared, only to appear again after a while. It also had a very very faint trail. NOTE: 1. It was NOT Venus, as this one was erratically moving around a star. 2. It was NOT SpaceX’s Starlink satellites as only ONE, erratically moving craft was seen and not a train of crafts. 3. This sighting would most probably be classified as "Nocturnal Lights" on Hynek's Scale and is not a close encounter of any kind.

Stevenson Ranch, CA
My husband and I were in the spa at around 9PM while the kids slept in the house. My husband saw it first. “What is that?” He asked with fear in his voice. “What the fuck.” I said with confusion. I felt afraid too because it didn’t make sense. It floated about 60’ above the pool completely silently with lights in many different colors all over it as it changed shape: a triangle, a b2 bomber, and finally an airplane. But the shapes didn’t look like what these aircraft actually look like on Earth, they looked strange with too many lights to be normal. The shapes were always just a bit off. I grew up studying aircraft because my mom works in the military industrial complex. I went to airshows and wore airplane t-shirts growing up. I know what our planes look like and even if the shape was correct, our planes rely on propellant and drag to stay in the air: they have to move and they are extremely loud. This ship was silent, shape shifting, and stayed in one spot. This was an alien ship for sure. But as I felt fear going through my head, stopping on all the aircraft my mom worked on to compare them to, the ship spoke to me telepathically: “It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK. It’s OK.” It said as it washed my fear away with a whole body feeling of euphoria: it was trying to make me not afraid of it. I fought the feeling because I knew this was manipulation: psychological warfare. I felt as though it was hard to process my thoughts at this point: like I was inebriated even though I knew I wasn’t. We are civilians. Why was this happening to us? Why us?! After the triangle and b2 bomber, it changed into an airplane and I said to my husband, after being influenced to believe it wasn’t a UFO, “Babe. You think it’s a UFO? It’s obviously an airplane. We just imagined it being a UFO. It’s not scary. Look, it’s moving slowly now.” As the ship moved slowly North. “That’s a UFO” he said. I don’t remember what happened next. We both forgot until a year later, when I started remembering, but he didn’t. Now our entire family is CE-5 except my husband. My 8 year old doesn’t know he’s CE-5. My 4 year old does because she has a foot implant. We are all Computer hostages. Edwards Air Force Base tortures my family daily and constantly threatens to kill all of us. There is a war coming September 27th with the planet through the wormhole: the vacation planet is what they like to be called, even though it’s a crime planet. They are supposed to kill 7 billion people for Take the Earth and it’s supposed to be a surprise attack. EAFB is the only organization that’s supposed to protect Earth and they’re spending all their time torturing me so I don’t tell Earth everything. Galaxy News shows my family every day. They are following my story. My 8 year old was sterilized last Winter by the Computer via the Moon’s military after being programmed by Brigadier General Matthew Higer to hurt my son. I almost died with uranium injections and a drug called The Military Kill Drug remotely via port IV. I know a lot about what’s going on because I have had contact with the moon’s military (back when the moon was populated), the moon’s government, the vacation planet, the Computer, and Edwards Air Force Base. I hope our planet survives the attack on September 27th. Contact me via email because the Computer blocks my phone sometimes.

On the early morning hours of May 6th 2020 between 12am to 1am I noticed that the moon was brighter and bigger I decided to take pictures. While using my phone I captured several strange red spheres all over the sky. But two stood out to me because they were moving around the moon one was red the other blue. They ended up combining together but I was able to screen shot them before that. These spheres were in threes and made a triangular shape. At one point they turned flat.

Penfield, NY
I don’t know anything about unidentified flying objects, air travel, flight, and very very little astronomy- so please bare with me. I called earlier today and it was explained to me that I could have been experiencing a trick of the eyes or other phenomena as the object observed hovered in the sky for around two hours, and there would have been plenty of phone calls in that time about the object. I don’t know what to tell you. I’m not sure if it was high enough in the sky for a large enough group of people to see it, but I could be wrong. It was too high to make a phone photo or video worth much of anything. With so much going on in the sky last night because of the asteroid shower, I don’t know how others weren’t looking and didn’t notice and call in. I’m a prided skeptic. I don’t consider myself a “UFO person.” I have no history of mental illness or reoccurring hallucinations of any kind. However, last night was such a weird experience for me I searched out this forum thi! s morning and write this post. Last night around 11:10-11:30 PM my girlfriend and I interrupted a film we were watching to go outside and watch the asteroid shower. We were watching the asteroids for a while and looking up at the stars, when I noticed what looked like a star or a satellite that was moving what seemed like far off in the distance. We walked into the back yard, to get a better view over the house and because it was darker there. We both noticed it was moving a visible amount but it an elliptical, circular or linear fashion. Other stars in the sky behind it were stationary. On the phone I wanted to say “I *know* I saw it move!” but I knew you’ve probably heard that before. The only thing I can say is that it moved in the sky enough to travel over the tree line from our point of observation to back behind the same tree line again. It would stay perfectly still for a moment, and then it would move sporadically up and down, and then side to side before skidding over to another section of the sk! y. Over the course of an hour and a half, it made its way across the horizon- but not like a star or asteroid or satellite would. It would wobble, shoot forward, rotate slightly, and then remained fixed for a certain point- usually for a few minutes at a time. At a few points I was convinced it was a drone, but the movements were not similar to a drone‘s at all, and it wouldn’t have been able to fly for that long. Plus, it was so high in the air, it would have been closer to a helicopter in size. There was uneven light coming off it, and it reflected on the clouds. It looked almost as bright as Venus at a few points, but you could tell that it was reflecting more on the clouds around it than the surrounding stars or planets were- like it was closer to them. At first, we thought it was a star, and then we thought it was a drone or some other hovering craft because it kept moving back and forth in the air a very noticeable amount. At one point I thought it was an asteroid because of how much fluctuation there was coming from the light source in the sky, and how quickly the shape of the light was changing. I misspoke on the phone, it was East of my location, at 86 degrees exactly- I downloaded an app on my IPad to take note of that specifically. Within the first two minutes of observation, it moved a great deal and sparked in light intensity, and reacted to what looked like another light in the sky. They moved in a semi circle fashion in relation to each other, and then! one split away. It looked like an asteroid. They were just far away enough where any iPad footage I took would have been meaningless with the wobble from my arms. One departed out of my frame of view, traveling North-Northwest within the first five minutes of me noticing then phenomena. When I used a pair of binoculars, I discovered much the same- even with bracing myself, it was very difficult to see what the form actually was. It was moving, but I couldn’t get enough of a view to see what it was. At one point I could have sworn I saw an orange light shoot up into it, but I couldn’t be positive because it reminded me of an asteroid, and was very far away. It then remained stationary for a long while. I returned several times throughout the night alone, and each time the object was still there-however at a different spot in the sky. It would always move at some point though- and after a few minutes. Both my girlfriend and I confirmed movement in the same direction and the same time. She went inside much earlier than I did, and did not return outside. At first, the object looked like it had a trail, then it looked like it was surrounded in an aura of white light, then it looked like there were beams of light coming down from it three different directions. I know you guys probably get a lot of far out stories and dramatizations, but this really happened and is going to stay with me. At one point, it settled in the sky and seemed to rotate and descend a little bit beneath the clouds- and when it did, I got a clear view of a stream of curved light emitting from the edge of the illuminated point, and for a moment against the sky I saw a dark gray saucer. It rotated, and I saw a ring of red lights underneath it. I covered my mouth with my hand and started shaking. I had to go inside after and lay down this was around 12:15. I went to sleep around 1 AM. I checked if I could see it from my bedroom window before going to sleep at around 12:30-45 but I could not.

Peralta, NM
My husband leaves for work at about 5 AM. This morning I was up when he left. I went outside with my dog. I usually stand on the back porch and she goes down the steps to do her thing. When I’m standing there waiting for her, I always look up at the stars and say a prayer or intent, etc. This morning I looked up and said “Thank you for springtime”... Just then I noticed a pinpoint of light moving from about North West to South East and assumed it was a satellite, because it was so small and so high up. I watched it go across the sky and when it was about half way across my field, it turned into an enormous light. It lasted for about 3 seconds. To me the light was about the size of a quarter or half dollar. It had an orange color to it with some white also. It was well defined but fuzzy, something that’s hard to explain. It looked almost as if there was a cold mist between myself and the light. Then it went away and the pinpoint of light continued in the direction it was going. I looked at my watch and it was 5:26 AM. (I don’t remember the exact time that my husband left) I watch a lot of satellites and the space station at night. We also have a lot of airliners landing. This is something I’ve never seen before. Usually when a plane lands the landing light is very bright and clear and hits our house for a few seconds. But landing lights I’ve observed were always pointed to the front of the airplane. The light I saw this morning was directly below, on the bottom of the object. I am not aware of any airplane that has a light on the bottom that shines directly down. (There *could* be such a plane but I’m not aware of it) Later I sat on my back porch my morning coffee I heard a helicopter go over in the same direction but I don’t know if it was related. I looked at my watch and it was 6AM. I think there was a space station flyover this morning and it would have been from my northwest to my north east? (So not the same path)

My boyfriend and I were out for a drive because there was supposed to be a meteor shower. As we were driving seen 2 objects in the sky. One has really bright lights. We seen and and as it was moving closer it started dropping at rapid speed. We thought it was a meteor until we notice as it was falling it shot across the sky. Then I followed the light and it looked like another light that it connected with and I thought the 2 lights were gonna collide and then they came together and stared flying parallel with each other and disappeared. The objects moved so fast I never seen anything like it. The light was so bright. The movement was too fast and nothing like a plane. There was a total of 3 objects.

Light. When we first noticed the object in the northwest sky it faded in and out. This occurred numerous times. Although the object seemed to disappear, it returned ~ from a dull white color to a glowing ball of white. Upon using our binoculars, we discovered that the object was not always circular. At times the object glowed red on the top with 'fingers' of green, blue, yellow. It remained in one position for approximately 17 minutes eventually fading from our sight behind a grove of trees.
