You couldn’t see anything with the naked eye, but the bright orb(which we thought maybe was a star) just seemed odd and off so I decided to take a few pictures, I reviewed the pictures and saw these orb things in the first and third picture. 10 in the first picture and 7 in the third

Keene valley, NY
October 2023 in the Keene valley Adirondack area taking pictures of the Fall foliage . Flew the drone for a few minutes taking Arial pictures and video. High quality drone mavic 2 pro 4 k video, unusual transmission problems with flickering video at first then when I looked closely to the footage couldn't help but notice several softball or soccer ball size objects shooting all over the place, left to right, up and down, very fast, NOT BIRDS, I'm a wildlife photographer I know my birds and how they fly. These were UFOs traveling anywhere from 200 to 800 mph all white and rounded shape. Very cool.

At first I thought it was a shooting star. When my eyes focused on it I could see it was a clear sphere with a very bright light at the center. It was silent, if I had not been looking up I would of never known it was there. It reminded me of one of my lawn lights, clear glass with light in the center flying through the air very fast and no noise.

I live below an active airfield and enjoy watching planes and helicopters crossing overhead. I've become skilled at telling which is which as they pass over and what directions they will usually come from, as well as some "regulars" who have private planes in the air. From time to time, I will check an unknown or new plane out on flight radar. Late in the evening. when the light starts to turn golden. I was watering my garden and watching the sky for any late planes and saw a low-flying, silent object in the sky. It was perfectly round and moving very smoothly and rapidly. It was moving against whatever wind I was feeling then and did not appear to have the bob-and-weave motion of a balloon that would have been as high up as it appeared to be. I attempted to get a photo, but when I looked down to grab my phone, the object either rapidly disappeared behind the tree line or outright disappeared as I was unable to observe it again. To me it looked perfectly round, but I had a sense it was flat or ellipsoid and was gold in color. Like a soap bubble, but massive. I suspect it was only reflecting the color that was being shone from the sunset.

The object appeared between the stars Betelgeuse and Alhena. For about six minutes the object moved around changed colors from red to yellow to white then disappeared. The object looked like an orb of light moving sporadically.

I am a captain at a major US based airline and have seen these on multiple occasions with various first officers on my crew. Almost always on a 310-320 degrees bearing and above our horizon line by 2 degrees to off scale but estimated at 15-20 degrees above. We watch for as much as an hour at a ground speed of 400-450 knots. Usually one orb but as many as 6 at a time. The lights or orbs are very bright on occasion and are never flashing or changing color.

While walking my dog around 10-11pm in a residential neighborhood, the sky was incredibly clear and stars were bright. Looking South down the road, I could see the usual street light in the far distance. Glancing up, I noticed two bright pulsing balls of light just above the horizon or tree line. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but then noticed the lights were much larger than anything I’ve seen before, and they were slowly ascending and getting smaller in the night sky. Regrettably, I had a dog pulling me by leash in one hand and a flashlight in my other hand. I wanted to get my mobile phone out to take a picture or video, but it all happened so fast. Within 30 seconds or so, the glowing or pulsing bright white lights rose higher into the atmosphere and then suddenly, there was a starburst flash a bit higher and to the right of them and they both disappeared. This may sound stupid, but it was almost like something out of Star Trek when the Enterprise goes into WARP speed and disappears. To be honest, it looked identical to what they captured on video during the filming of The Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch. I don’t recall the exact episode, but there was a single white pulsing orb that disappeared with a similar starburst effect. I’ve never seen anything like this in my entire life, but they were clearly not airplanes or any other objects I’ve see in the night sky. My biggest regret is not dropping the flashlight to get out my mobile phone to capture photographic or video evidence of the event.

I saw what seemed to be a saucer type ufo earlier tonight. I tried to count the number of red lights along the perimeter I think there were 6 or 7. The one in the middle was the largest and it was pulsing on and off, the others were smaller and less active but kind of twinkling like stars. Also the lights seemed to be slowly rotating around the craft as it slowly flew from South to North. I got a good look at it with binoculars. The craft itself was very dark. I could barely make out the bottom edge against the night sky. About 2 miles east of me, 10 degrees off the horizon. I approximate it to be about 100 feet in length.

Colorful (red, blue, green) flickering sphere with brilliant white center appears in the night sky for various durations , mostly in the western sky but have observed the object appear in the eastern and southern sky . It appears to move erratically in different directions and moving at indistinct distances returning to its original position of first sighting . Disappears at random . Observed the object many times over periods of months . No evidence of exhaust no sound detected . First impressions were possibly a planet or star but motion, color changes , and dramatic change of position suggest otherwise. Observed during night with clear empty background , both during bright moonlight and new moon periods .

Both orbs were circling and either going towards each other or apart and not returning

I was walking from my neighbor’s home, at 9pm and as I was walking toward my driveway, I looked up at the full moon and saw two strange bright orange circles flickering, in the sky. They looked very strange because they were pulsating and moving kind of fast. I grabbed my phone and took a picture and white lines formed under the lights, in the picture. I thought that was weird, so I started video taping. I saw two more come behind them, so I kept the video going. The first two phased out as the second two followed their path, in the sky. I stopped the video because I didn’t see anymore, and as I approached my porch, I saw two more coming, so I started another video. Another two came after they got to a distance. I saw a total of 8 of them. All were the same orange circles, that looked identical in size. Unfortunately, I had accidentally hit the button and stopped the second video. The moon appeared to have a haze over it as the objects moved in its direction. I went in the house and around 9:15 pm, I went back out, just to see if they were gone. I didn’t see anymore, however, the full moon, at that point was very bright and clear.

A spherical object that looked like it had a fire burning inside of it flew from about 6 feet above the ground at about a 45 degree angle up towards the sky above the trees and unto the sky. It didn't make any noise.

Driving west from beachside Indiatlantic Fl we spotted a small dark round “dot” flying slowly in the western sky about 90*. As the object headed toward the clouds, it would occasionally sparkle and shine a silver/ rainbow color. We got over the bridge to the mainland it had gone in and out of the clouds changing from the round dark shape to a silver crescent shaped object that flashed and sparkled a few different light colors. We then lost sight of it in the clouds. This is the third time in a year we have seen similar round singular dark objects in this area… always around late afternoon

Nidri, LEFKADA · Greece
We were on holiday in Greece when my wife and I spotted three orb’s travelling in a triangular formation from a window in the hotel high in the sky, by the time I had got my phone out to take footage they had split with two staying high and one dropping lower then back up to join another then dropping again. I tried to focus on the lower one and it appeared to be spherical and emitting lights and lighting up the area around it, then suddenly as if it knew I was filming it shot upwards out of the picture and I couldn’t keep the camera up with it.

I was in my back yard talking on my cell phone and saw what looked like a low atmosphere satellite. The object was much lower and not in the same trajectory as the usual ones. Was not an airplane. Zero noise. No marking or flashing lights. It was a constant light. I took 4 photos. One looks like a line of 4 lights one looks like an Orb. Just want to get an opinion.

I was having my morning coffee,capturing the colors of the sunrise; when I noticed a black shape in the distance. When I noticed it seem to shift I thought it was spec on my camera or the window. but when looking through other pictures taken, it went off into the distance and disappeared. I managed to take video and pics. In the distance the clouds seem to take on almost a shape of an alienesque face.

It was a gloomy rainy day. I was standing at the top of the basement stairs watching a video on my phone when I noticed this ambient golden orb the size of a thumbnail it was about 4 feet from the ground and only a foot away from me.It just hovered there and slowly drifted off to the left .

Live feed from security camera shows ball of light/orb hovering around in our front yard. I have video of this happening, thought it could be a big at first but ruled that out. This is definitely a spherical bill of light that moves up and down and side to side, gets closer and further away. Never seen anything like it

We just so happened to look at the security camera monitor and saw this ball of light hovering in our front yard. We used our phones and recorded for just over 6 minutes. We thought it was a bug or something at first but I looked again and there is no way it was a bug. It hovered in the air, moved left right up and down. I could see light coming from this ball on the house across the street. About as big as a basketball.

I went outside to look at the stars since it was a clear night, and you could see the Milky Way. We were renting the place for the week and since we live in the city, we never see the Milky Way back home. I came out the back door I looked up to my right and could see one large bright circle or Orb, that was moving fast high above the treetops above the neighbor's yard. I could only see it briefly where there were no trees and then it was behind the treetops in between the yards, and I could only see glimpses of the bright light. I followed it while I kept watch of it until I got to the end of the property at the lake. Then I got a better look when it came out over Little Platte Lake. I watched it go straight across the lake to the east and disappear or I could no longer see it. It was bright like a star with no variations or flashing lights. It did not have a tail or anything behind it and it did not make any noise. I had my DSR camera over my shoulder but was not able to get a pic. By the time it came past the trees, it was moving too fast for me to be able to get it focused before it was gone. I submitted a picture of the yard and the tall trees with the lake at the end just so you can picture what I was explaining.

I was in a walk in daylight, when I saw something in the sky. I stopped because I was trying to figure out what was it. I thought at first could have been a balloon, but the way it was moving (constant speed and constant horizontal direction, covering between the clouds) the shape (totally round), the color (dark metallic), was not a ballon, neither a conventional drone. I have to run at some stage to overpass some trees who were covering the sight. I reestablished contact immediately and shortly after I lost the sight again, as clouds started to be heavier. I mentioned to my partner a few minutes later when I met him. I was confused and excited but I didn’t think over it too much, as it did not have the typical saucer shape we are all used to see in the media. I thought maybe it’s a new generation of military drones, new technology, no wings, no sound, and new cylindrical shape, as 30km from there, there is a military base and I see time to time helicopters. But a few months ago, when I watch the videos released by the pentagon in the NASA UAP conference , and I saw the orb shaped UAP’s over Middle East, I realized that effectively what I saw that day it was an UFO. I really had a doubt at the time, but I was always open to the possibility.but I didn’t know at that time there are orb shaped ones as well. Honestly I could not figure out. But I am sure what I saw was not a ballon or a conventional drone. I am truly grateful for having the chance to live this experience and I hope deep in my heart this was not the last time. I wish everyone could live the same I did. It’s just unbelievable amazing. Hopefully when the stigma is lifted within humanity, and they do probe to exist, and governments admit, will help us (humans) to understand we are all ONE race in this vast Universe. This will unify us and heal.

I was flying my drone at night in the middle of my neighbors field. The drone hits something when there is nothing in the area to hit. I lost all control of my drone and it flew off all on its own. A light then appeared, small at first and as it started flying by myself and the other witness, it got brighter and bigger and then after it passed by it got smaller and dimmer and then disappeared. The light was visible as it flew by for about 40 to 50 feet. It did all this and the whole thing lasted about 5 to 7 Seconds. After the light was gone, I was then able to gain control of my drone and bring it back home. The witness and I just looked at each other. I know my mouth was hanging wide open is wonderment. we didn't say anything, just turned around and walked in the house.

San Bernardino, CA
I live in North San Bernardino, witnessed two large, orange lights in the sky, to the east. the were pretty high and at first I thought that they may be helicopters. they were moving from southeast to north west. One stopped moving, went from a orange glowing orb to a red star, went transparent and dropped like a rock strait down and out of sight. the other continued for a few seconds and did the same.
