We all looked up at the 'star' and it turned out to be this big, long string of lights that was moving very rapidly. We watched it as I drove for about 3 minutes and then all 5 of us suddenly lost sight of it. The craft was very long and looked like a string of Christmas lights, moving perfectly straight through the sky.

It was between the ½ moon and 2 other stars to the right (one star very bright?? North star perhaps. It was travelling very slowly across the sky with many many tiny dots in a completely straight row, going from right to left in the sky, then lost it as it went behind a cloud as it neared the area of the moon...

Object spotted over Biscayne Bay on Oct 24, 2020. Observed through binoculars while shooting video with phone. Object was a dark grey, shiny, spinning tetrahedron with flat sides. Our best guess is that it was about 25' on each side. There appeared to be a short (3') rod-like protrusion at each corner. A hazy sphere seemed to encircle the object, intersecting all 4 protrusions. The object was tumbling as if on several axes, making it look very much NOT like a lost kite or balloon. (There was no "heavy" end" of this object.) Roughly two full rotations every 3 seconds. The wind (at ground level) was blowing to the East. This object was moving North at well over 100mph. At one point the object seemed to pass right through the MIA airport takeoff path, which at that moment crossed (high) over our home address here in Miami Beach. I uploaded the video to my youtube account for safekeeping. We may be able to find the original file if you need it. https://youtube.com/shorts/91UmqFs2k4k Not much more to report here but you are welcome to call or email me if you wish. I am quite interested to hear if this object is similar to anything previously reported.

I was smoking outside. In an apartment complex. I walked to the end and was staring at the moon. It was beautiful. I noticed a bunch of airplanes outside. It looked to be so high up. But it wasn't. Because one came down, right above my head at the treeline. It was aware, and it looked as if it noticed me and came down. It had an orange light and white lights, combined. It was well hidden, because when it went back up, after I ran for my life. I showed my neighbors, who said it was an airplane. I said no it came down to my face. It was a circle type of object, but hard to see with the bright lights. After I collected myself and went back outside. There were 2 of them. Hanging out here for about an hour. It came down to me again, a couple of times. I was terrified. And I wish I wasn't. But the ending was when it got very strange. When they left, for good. I had a couple neighbors outside. And it came at me one last time. But this time, it was the shape of! a real airplane. And this time it made sound. But it was the same exact object that flew down towards me a couple of times during the night. And the airplane was so low. Right over my complex. That didn't make sense either. During the hour I also saw a helicopter. Flying by, above it. But now I question if that was truly a real helicopter because of the ending. I would like to be able to find out if there was any traffic above my complex. I took a couple pictures of it. But, again, it really doesn't do any good, because it looks like a craft in the air. The only reason I knew it wasn't was because it flew all the way down to me. 10 feet ide say above me. It wasn't big, at all.

Bakersfield, CA
In north Bakersfield east of Chester Ave there was a fuzzy blob in the sky moving straight south about 10 minutes to 9 pm. It was totally silent. It looked like it was at a couple thousand feet and moving about 200 mph. It could have been an airplane flying with no lights on or a huge mechanical bird. There was no indication of anything in that area on Flightradar.

San Diego, CA
I was jogging and I saw this wierd thing hover in the air and it looked like it might have been over my neighborhood. It was more vertical in shape and almost had a crescent moon shape, but like a fetus or a caterpillar. I kind of thought it was a paraglider, I guess if the shape of that type of chute makes sense, but I couldn't see anything attached to it. It was also kind of shiny looking and floated away at a rate that was similar to how fast a giant bubble moves through the air. It changed position in the air a few times, so I didn't think it was hard, but it also was traveling across the sky and away, so it wasn't falling like a parachute and I was not hear a cliff, like a paraglider would use which is why it looked that, but couldn't have been, unless there was a motor? But again, I was close enough in person that I would have seen someting attached to it. It wasn't THAT high up. There were a ton of other people around, driving cars, coming in and out of their homes. I guarantee a ton of other people noticed it and probably wondered what it was, but I didn't stop to observe it with anyone else or point it out to people. I have videos of it where you can see the buzz of traffic and other people around. It was very obvious there in the sky.

Cisco, TX
Two huge orange reddish colored lights estimated 400-800 feet apart horizontal to the ground based on seeming to be about a mile away and half a mile above the ground from where we were sitting. The two lights remained stationary for roughly 5-7 seconds and then the right light would disappear and simultaneously another light would appear to the left of the original left light. It did this about 5 times over 7-10 additional seconds and then disappeared.

Newmarket, NH
It was dark. But I was in the shower when my family started freaking out about a loud noise and something white and red outside flying around behind our house going back and forth. I went to the window facing my back yard in my parents room. Behind our house is a 160ish acre field and next to it is maybe twice or three times as much worth of woods. It appeared to be a mile or so far away when I first saw it. Then just like that it was right in my backyard woods. Maybe 70 to 100 yards away and it was gliding towards my house getting closer and closer and then it stopped. Then it turned right as in my right so that would be it's left and glided in that direction. That's when I was able to to make out its long cylinder like shape but the ends were rounded off like the top an egg on each side. Both ends had one light at this time and it was a dim light. Not bright white like LEDs. It was like older headlights on a car. It had to be the size and length of a schoo! l bus maybe bigger. We have ducks and chickens and a fair amount of people have dogs on our street and nearby. They all started freaking out and making noises. The UFO had a hovering noise that sounded like a lasso spinning in the air like the wild west movies. The UFO just glided over the trees like it was searching for something and soon the lights disappeared. I went outside to investigate and walked up to the treeline and I sat there for a minute watching and listening and my mom was begging me to come inside. Right when she started asking me to come inside I just heard was seemed to be multiple animals or people sprinting through the woods. I couldnt see anything but tons of sticks were cracking and you could hear leaves and whatever else on the forest floor being stepped on as all these things were moving quickly through the woods. It was honestly unlike anything ive ever seen in my life. And right now I honestly feel like its still out there doing something. In the m! orning I'm going out to look in the area it was hovering. This! was def initely not a drone. The hovering noise it made was too loud and the UFO was too big. If you saw this thing youd know something was very wrong here. About 4 years ago my sister described waking up in the middle of the night to something exactly like this and it makes me wonder why I never listened to her. There was definitely something out there and it was not from this planet. I swear I'm not making this up.

Rindge, NH
On Oct. 17, 2020, my husband let our dog out and called me to look at what seemed to him to be an extremely bright star in the sky. I grabbed my cell phone to take a photo and realized when I looked through the camera it was sort of dancing so I switched my setting over to video to start recording. Meanwhile, my husband had gone inside to grab his binoculars(we were both quite curious now. When he looked through them that one light you could see with a naked eye looked like two. The object (light) was moving around randomly, always staying within a circle that reminded me of the beam of a car’s headlight and emitting off beautiful bursts of light resembling(to me) what looking at samples through a microscope would look like. I took several videos over the course of an hour. When I finally came inside I put one of the videos on my computer and pulled still shots from one of the videos and zooming in on them as much as possible. In one of those images, it appears to be a flat octagon object inside the fog. Thinking it was a satellite I looked up images of them online and it does not seem to be the case. I would love to hear if this could be explained, or if it is truly an unexplainable event. I will be paying more attention to the night sky for the object again in the days to come.

Vero Beach, FL
Saturday evening, two friends and I were sitting on the beach in Vero Beach, FL. As it grew dark, there was just enough light to see the white foam of the waves crashing on the shore. Suddenly, we all saw a very large translucent-white jellyfish-type object, flying north to south parallel to and close to the shore horizontally at an even speed, very low over the water. The “tentacles” of the “jellyfish” streaming behind it were uniform and looked as if they were made of lights. It cruised in front of us, clearly on a course, until it disappeared farther down the beach where the lights were a little brighter. My impression is that it was like a stenciled white pattern moving through the air. We are not sure if it was ship or an organized intelligence. It was otherworldly and seemed to have a non-physical presence. We estimate it was traveling at about 30 mph, but we have difficulty nailing down dimensions or exactly how close it was to the shore and how high about the ocean it was. Maybe 50' long and 20' high? Maybe 20' from the shore and 20' above the water? Impossible to say. But it was breathtaking and marvelous.

Port Clinton, OH
I woke up at 1:33 am and went out on my front porch to have a smoke. I looked out in front of me up in the sky. In the distance was a red orange glow it came toward me not fast but like it was floating toward me about 200 ft in the sky or more! It continued to come toward me. The glow took shape of a C. It stopped dead in the sky took a right 90 turn then continued a little bit and stopped again.the went right a little more then went back left the stopped and went back the way it come. I would of woke my partner but I thought it might disappear. It was truly breath taking! I only told couple people because I didn't want them to think I'm carzy!

Benicia, CA
I began videotaping and captured what appears to be a circular multicolor pulsating disc spinning in a counter clockwise direction. I have a total of about 4 minutes of video with this object slowly moving in an upward slightly to my right angle. I was late to work so I left not knowing what I had captured, the object was still there as I drove away. It seemed to be out in space and must have actually been quite large.

Subject: UFO Report: 10/14/2020, 11:30 p.m. EST To Whom It May Concern: I left my sister's house on [street name hidden] Way on Wednesday, 10/14/2020 at 11:30 pm EST (23:30 hours). As I drove down the street, I noticed lights ahead that were hovering over a house and not moving. I slowed down so I could try to make out what I was seeing. It was a large object (around 30 FT wide & 20 FT tall) hovering in the sky about roughly 50 feet above the roof of the house directly across the street from the [street name hidden] Way stop sign. Anyone with a good baseball arm could have thrown a stone and hit it. As I approached the stop sign, I realized it was a lot bigger than I thought- jet black and I could only make out the outline of the craft against the night sky...there were no other markings that I saw, only the lights and outline. It also made no sound that I could hear. I did have my windows up, but the neighborhood was completely silent and no one was outside so if it did display an engine-type sound, I should have been able to hear that considering how close I was to this thing (probably around 150 ft away from me). It had 2 yellow lights on either side of the craft and 3 red lights in the middle. It looked like an upside-down bell but a little wider, more triangle shaped but with rounded edges, and the lights were on the front, not on the side or underneath. It was very thick...very solid looking--not flat. There was nothing protruding on the craft, no wings or blades. It was very large, as I mentioned before--like the size of my living room w/ vaulted ceilings. My first thought was this must be a VERY expensive military surveillance drone due to its size but why the heck is it hovering in our community this late at night?!? It started moving toward me so I floored the gas and sped away as fast as I could. I wasn't sure if it was following me until I turned left on [street name hidden] Ct and there it was. It was on my left moving VERY slowly over the houses on [street name hidden] Ct. heading in the direction of [school name hidden] High School. I raced down the road and pulled into my garage, jumped out to take a picture of it and it was already gone. I have to tell you, that was the most frightening thing I've ever encountered. I made a police report the next day (10/15/2020) and the officer confirmed that “none of their drones were outside at time” and “their drones are only 24 INCHES wide.” I did not take any pics or videos because I was seriously so frightened of being abducted that I could not look away. I did, however, press my sister’s phone number that is saved on my vehicle’s home screen to call my sister via bluetooth. She can attest that I was screaming, “Come outside! Come outside! I think I’m witnessing a UFO!!” She thought I was joking and hung up. I’ve included a hand-drawn picture of what I saw. Thank you for looking into this matter. If it was military, it is quite concerning that they are in a residential neighborhood flying so close to houses.

Manchester, NH
I was merging into i93 north when I saw a dim light above. At first I thought it was a plane because there is a local airport. But this was low to the ground (around the tree line and was almost hazy and dimly lit.) When I looked i saw 4 round circular rings which seemed to be 4 lights on the bottom of some sort of "craft" the body i could not see. It was almost just like 4 glowing rings dimly but VERY SWIFTLY glided above and spun 90• while doing so before losing sight. Split second later ANOTHER one followed. This one did not rotate in any sort from what I could see. Shocked and confused

Otisville, MI
On October 10, 2020 I was up around 4:30- 5a.m letting the dog outside. I saw what I assumed was an airplane, but it was flying super low. I grabbed my binoculars and followed the object as it traveled across the horizon. There was a neon orange light, and it was as moving around like crazy. The only way i can describe it was that it looked like lines leftover from a sparkler, like when you move it around and it leaves a light trail. I lost it in the trees.

Davenport, WA
I was traveling east on Highway 2 from Davenport, WA. towards Airway Heights, WA. The sky was partly cloudy. To the east at cloud level - maybe three to four thousand feet - was a very bright shiny object moving very slowly to the west. From my perspective it was shaped like a woman in a dress and without legs or arms. I have never seen any craft that was that bright and shiny. It did not look like a light, rather a very bright shiny object; or better I describe it as extremely bright and shiny. Due to its height I could not discern size. It had absolutely no contrail behind or below it. Its movement was steady and not like a weather balloon. As the object traveled in and out of the clouds it did not have a change in brightness, telling me that its brightness was not due to the sun's reflection on it. Because I was traveling on the highway I lost sight of it as it continued west and I to the east. At the same time, far off to the southeast, towards the hills way south of Spokane I could see a very large bright yellow-orange ring suspended above the hills. From the distance it was, and in comparison to the mountains it eventually and slowly disappeared behind, I would guess that the bright ring was several miles in circumference.

I was in my backyard I live in a subdivision my house is surrounded by other houses. I happend to look in the sky and exactly were I looked something caught my attention. I noticed what looked like a a wedge shape in the sky it was translucent sort of like the predator movies I could see it but only because it wasnt comp invisible. It was moving slowly just like an airplane would move.I heard no sound It just slowly hovered. it was about cloud hight.I tried to get my phone out to take a picture but due to it being so hard to see and it having some sort of cloaking technology I lost sight of it.

Went out back to look at the lawn to see how it was doing, looked up. Saw this object flying over very high, thought "that's a bit high for a bird" then as it got directly over me saw it was silent, has curved wings ( S shape for the wings ) then just vanished. Blue skies, no wind. I can try to draw what I saw.

Albuquerque, NM
First I was distracted by 2 flashes to the WSW part of the sky. As I turned, I saw two lights traveling in the same direction. As they did, the light would pulse much slower than a blinking aircraft light. both lights made hard 120-degree turns quickly. It seemed as though a light washed across a surface like a turning car's headlights across a wall. After 10 seconds I saw four more of the same flashing/pulsing "corner" lights. I could follow several as they were visible more than not. They may have been dozens or a hundred miles away. This sighting lasted 20-30 seconds in all. I sat and watched thirty minutes longer but saw nothing more. I am an amateur astronomer and know my planets, satellites, and the ISS. This was truly unexplainable to me.

Avon, OH
Costco parking lot: I was waiting in the car when I noticed a couple parked behind me looking at a small streak in the sky through binoculars and discussing what it might be. I got out my binoculars which we keep in the car for wildlife viewing during camping. This object looked like a small bright streak but up close it looked like a point of white light with two thin, curving tails bending toward each other. A few minutes later it was under the horizon (this was around dusk) and a second appeared higher up. It looked exactly the same through the binoculars. It dipped below the horizon after a few more minutes and a third appeared, higher up and seemingly out of nowhere. This time when I used the binoculars I could see blue and red swirls toward the front of this object and again, the same curving white tails. It disappeared within a few minutes, not going below the horizon like the first two but just disappeared where it had been a moment before. I took ph! otos and the objects look cigar shaped, but there was more to them as I described.

Walterville, OR
my mom and i were watching tv and my cats were acting weird my one cat kept jumping up in the window looking everywhere.I happened to look out the window and and there was nothing but the moon and sky then all of a sudden there was a light and a glowing ship that looked like a star shape.my mom saw it to and she said thats really weird we were looking east out my moms bedroom window it glowed with a haze of orange then went to a white color. it had lights on the points of the star shape that were blue,green and red, then a lil ship went up to it and the bigger ship started to kick on some kind of engines cause there was fire coming out of the big ship. the lil ship went up into the bigger ship and then the big ship engines blew out lots of fire and took off into the sky and was gone.
