While fishing with my 5 year old son at our house, my son pointed out an object just above us, “floating” just under the cloud line. It was all black, somewhat circular, with two protussions coming out of the front. It was clearly not an airplane, air balloon, or any typical object seen in the sky. I attempted to capture it with my phone and oddly my camera app would not load, and then it disappeared.

Early evening Aug. 6, approximately 7:30pm, I was in my backyard along with our two dogs. My son was in his bedroom, my fiance was dozing in our room. The sky was clear and really stunning, with gigantic thunderheads south of us and a bright moon. In the west the sun was going down but the view was absolutely clear, birds were still singing. Beautiful evening, very still and peaceful. I decided to water all of our potted plants and fill the birdbaths despite a chance of rain. As I walked to the rear of our property, I saw an object moving over our neighbor's trees. It was about the altitude of a private plane, maybe a bit lower, and I could see it very clearly although I had no idea what it was and my brain was just trying to make sense of it. It was a black and thick round disc, looked metallic but not shiny. Graphite came to mind. It moved slowly, silently and *deliberately*. It floated with intent. It came over the trees like a frisbee, but then turned on its side like a wheel, and I could see a hole in the middle, like a doughnut. It kind of undulated when it turned to its side. I was transfixed and everything was just silent for many minutes. Suddenly I came to my senses and ran as fast as I could to the house to grab my phone from the charger. I ran back out trying to get my phone started up and pull up my camera. By that time (seconds had passed) the object had turned due north, oriented like a frisbee again, and had moved with high speed away, to where I could not find it in my camera viewfinder. Then it was a speck, then gone. I was flooded with adrenaline and realizing I'd seen something I'd never ever expected to see. I then had an overwhelming feeling of foreboding and uneasiness, and thought to myself "I hope it didn't see me watching it". I came in and told my son, who then pulled up a number of YouTube videos, photos, of "black doughnut UAPs". They were exactly what I saw over my yard, although I had no knowledge of that shape prior to my sighting. I've told very few people, and with trepidation. About me: I consider myself an open minded individual. I am a mom of two nearly-grown sons, age 57, hold a bachelor's degree, am involved with community events and sit on a board for a local nonprofit, and started my own small business in the arts during the pandemic. I'm imaginative but not delusional. I was one hundred percent sober, awake and fully cognizant. I've always been a sky-watcher and find the subject of UAPs/UFOs fascinating and completely plausible. I'm glad that the evidence is finally recieving the grave scientific attention that is warranted. Side note: the dogs made themselves scarce, I did not notice them near me or any interaction between them at that time.

My dad took these pictures on his phone at 3am. He watched this blue circular object move up, down and to the sides for almost two hours. Some people say it could be a satellite, but I didn't think they moved in different directions in the same place for almost two hours. I have 3 short videos also if there's a good place to upload. My dad thinks is was maybe a mile or so out, but it seemed close and pretty large.

I will say I know there are some US military operations areas in that general direction off the coast of the eastern US, and I was suspicious this was military aircraft doing some night training. But according to the controller, nothing was out there. Although the range was hard to tell. Which is one of the interesting parts of this. The entire time these 3 objects stayed in the same general azimuth from our aircraft while we travelled approximately 400 miles. So, I asked the controller to ask other aircraft if they were seeing what we saw and the controller asked other aircraft and there was a JetBlue aircraft (don’t remember the flight number) about 60 miles behind us. When I told them to look under the “pan” of the Big Dipper they said they saw it. That started a running dialogue for maybe twenty minutes where we or they would see them and then the other aircraft would concur that they saw them too. Now, for the maneuvers these objects were doing. This is very interesting/intriguing/fascinating. The first object started out very bright (I have 2 decent videos-but I am unwilling to share them yet, but would be happy to discuss with you). The first object is round and quite bright white (which is how I noticed it), It moves from left to right for about 10-20 seconds and then the light slowly dims and goes out. Then in a random time frame from 1-3 minutes later it would do the same thing again. After about 5-10 minutes. We noticed the trajectory changing and one of them would actually go vertical. And it seemed a second one would chase it. One of the objects for about 10 to 15 minutes would start out at the left side of beneath the pan of the Big Dipper, and then while in a slight descent would start these oscillation/undulations and do about 2 or 3 and then stop and then the light would go out. What is fascinating to me is the distance these objects must have been at (to not be seen on radar), and the height they must have been at (about halfway between the horizon and the bottom of the pan of the Big Dipper, made me think that they were going extremely fast and were extremely high. But that is a somewhat guess on my behalf. The oscillation maneuvers were normally quicker 5-10 seconds so I was never able to get a video of them. By the time I could open my iPhone, get to my camera, get the video on, try to find it on the screen, they were normally over sorry to say. In retrospect I should have kept my camera on, but with the camera screen full bright it was screwing up my night vision so I was trying to turn it off to be able to see better. This went on for 20-30 minutes. We continued to see them in our 1 o’clock position even after reaching the Florida shoreline (and the object-I believe there was only one by this time) would have been over US soil. But the oscillation and undulations stopped and we only saw one by this point and it would just go left to right and go dim. And then get brighter some time later. We brought a flight attendant forward from the back of the aircraft (more towards the end of the sighting so he could see it to, and he did). One of the issues for people on the ground seeing these objects was there was a lower mostly cloudy sky here and there and the slant visual might have made it difficult/impossible to see? I will say that approximately one year ago on the same general flight path (probably San Juan to Orlando) I saw another very bright object well above me and to the right (just before sunset), but by the time I started to understand what was happening (10 seconds or so), the light went out and never reappeared. I have also talked with one other pilot friend and he said he saw something in that same area (San Juan to Philadelphia and he saw it off the left side of the aircraft).

Orange, bright dot. Almost as fine as a laser pointer. Flew from due north to south very fast, similar to meteor speeds. There was no tail or debris coming apart. After covering 3/4 of my field of view...it vanished. No bright breakups as most meteors display. Traveling much faster than ISS or other large satellite.

It was late I was leaving my parents house going home. When we turn to come on 98 East it came out of nowhere. I told my finance what is that, he said what so he hopped in the back seat too look out the back window and saw it. The light was so bright so he told me to catch up with the only car was on the highway, but I could never caught up with the car. Told my finance take a picture, phone didn't want too work so it hop on the side and took off fast like sonic bionic like something on TV. It wasn't a drone it had no noise no propellers no nothing. It was werid.

As I was outside smoking a cigarette, I was speaking to my wife on the phone. And I was looking up to the sky 212 degrees south west when I saw a circular shape moving in a curve angle too fast to have been a plane or a jet or other aircraft. It made a strange whistling sound. And it vanished too fast towards the top of the mountains. It was too close and yet did not make a loud sound just a light whistle. And at first I did not know what to think of but as I gained myself back I was a little spooked.

Was talking to my gf when I noticed two semi white circular objects flying above us heading south bound. The craft made no noise it only displaced a bunch of air. These crafts flew about the speed of a fighter jet just with no sound. I will continue to monitor the sky. Investing in high tech cameras to capture them know that I know they are real.

It lasted for a short period of time I was about to take a picture of it but it literally disappeared at a blind of an eye Usually If you see a plane or something move from its spot you can easily find it again with no problem but this disappeared in half a second It was weirdly shaped and it was silver Very shiny

It was around half the size of a car and had two green light on the front of it that were flashing and two red ones on the side that were not. Before i got up I heard a whale sound (reason for getting up) and then that’s when i saw it above me moving forward and it passed in about 7-10 seconds. There was no chance of me getting a picture because of how quick it happened and how shocked it was.

I noticed two dark circles in the sky above the clouds outside of my bedroom window to the East a bit. I could only see the outlines of them. They stayed in the same spot for about an hour and then moved somewhat but then they were lost under darker clouds as a storm moved in.

Me and my girlfriend saw a circle flying in the sky that was really bright and reflective and it disappeared as fast as we saw it. We could tell it wasn’t a plane or drone by how it was flying and just how bright it was . It was extremely reflective like a mirror and then it vanished.

Cocoyoc, MORELOS · Mexico
Between 1045pm and 11pm August 1st, 2022 Cocoyoc, Morelos, MEXICO. One circular light with cloud shape formation around the light was observed going at a high rate of speed traveling from the South heading North. No sound was detected during or after the object passed bye, steady glow with zero pulsating light. Lost visibility of the object due to a large wall at HOTEL HACIENDA COCOYOC in Morelos Mexico blocking continued sight of object. One witness “myself” was unable to grab the attention of spouse in time to witness due to the high rate of speed the object was traveling in and a large wall being in the way of continued viewing of the object. Unable to clearly identify the true color of the light due to a hazy cloud like formation surrounding the object. Had a visual of the object for approximately 5-7 seconds until the object had passed a large wall blocking any further observation. Unable to determine the high rate of speed the object was traveling due to limited time of visualization. An airplane was seen shortly afterwards going the opposite direction at a much slower speed with obvious sounds of a plane and the normal blinking red light. No cloud coverage at the time. The object was not a falling star due to the continued parallel flight pattern of the object and the unexplainable color of the light. A hazy white or even light green hue is the best way for me to describe the color of the object. The continued height in the air, speed while the object was traveling helped to rule out the possibility of a falling star or hot air balloon. No alcohol or drugs were used before, during or after the object was sighted.

Three people were in the backyard letting dogs out. First person saw a shooting star south east of our location so everyone looked up in the sky and that is when one person pointed out the bright light. We all looked at it and it was so bright we thought it was low. It was a bright white circle and was moving east from the west. It then turned red and dimmed. There was no noise or movement around the object. One observer took college level astronomy and looked to see if the ISS was supposed to be flying over, however he said that was too bright to be the ISS. We then saw a smaller moving light that looked more like the ISS. After checking we learned that was not the direction the ISS was supposed to be moving and then we observed the real international space station. Very clear night with minimal to no clouds.

I awoke to go to the bathroom and in doing so saw a bright white light through a glass sliding door, in the East sky moving North. The object emitted a shower of sparks behind it, almost like sparks from a grinding wheel grinding metal. By the time I got to the slider and opened it, the object had just about went over tree line and out of sight. There was no sound. The night was cloudy and not a single star was visible. The object was too fast to be some sort of plane never mind it would’ve been very loud, and was too slow to be a shooting star, which I’ve seen many in my time. Three and a half months later I’m still searching online to see if there’s been any other reports of what I’ve seen and have since found this database and decided I must make known what I can’t explain.

There's a lot of activity in the skies lately. We didn't hear anything, but as you can see, it looked like a bright object that moved fairly quickly, dimmed, then appeared to change direction quickly. We seen it between 9:45 and 10:00 p.m. Friday night.

At first we thought it was electricity in the clouds as there was thunder and lightening around the same time. We watched them for several minutes ping pong around over our back yard. They eventually came together in the center and glowed like moonlight. In a split second it just disappeared. Searchlights

One morning this past July I stepped outside sat down and saw something that appeared to be a raindrop yet when I took a closer look there was colors inside of this drop. These colors of gold and red could be seen that formed what looks like an iris and pupil of an eye. I I let others know to not touch this object because it's not known what it is and could potentially be poisonous. Time passed after deciding and the drop stayed in place has not moved yet does seem to have a shiny coat that glimmers in the light like as if it were polished. Still do not want something that I can't identify and that I am hesitant to remove myself to be in way of our everyday lives. I will add that this is the second time that I have written this report yet this time I will be able to send it. The first time that I wrote this report as I was pressing send the phone shut down. The second time which was today that I began to visit the website my phone shut down. Now these occurrences to me are oddly similar in relativity. I'm sure that might make some sense about something that is not necessarily understood. That is my report and I send this with the hope that I can get an answer and at least have this safely removed.

I drive tractor trailer on Interstate 25 five nights a week from Casper Wy to Denver Co. I normally stop at mile marker 94 exit to stretch and walk around. I looked up to enjoy the stars and saw some fast movement. I got phone and videotape the (ufo) or craft. It is still there moving around in the night sky. It is the brightest light/star almost straight up in the night sky.

I was standing on my back porch smoking a cigarette in Castle Gardens subdivision, west of Newburgh rd and south of 5 mile rd. I was facing East and saw a large bright white light moving up and to the south. It was not an airplane and not a helicopter. I followed it as it rose up and then the light got dimmer and dimmer until it vanished. I have never seen anything like it before and there were no clouds in the sky for it to fly behind. I've been stumped every since I saw it and have no clue what it could have been.

Our motion was triggered on our camera at 4:04am and caught a video of a white object (looks like a frisbee shape) dart into our back yard and hover in one spot with beams above and below it. Our camera stopped at 23 seconds because it stops recording if motion stops.
