Sacramento, CA
I was driving on the 50/99 interchange in downtown Sacramento when I saw a bright blue with dark blue trim, triangular craft flying in a downward path towards Sacramento Executive Airport approximately 5 miles away. At first I assumed it was a plane landing but it was way too big to land at the small airport, and it did not look like any type of plane I'd ever seen. Bright blue color, wrong shape, way too big; I thought about driving over to the airport to see if something like that had landed but I was late for an appointment, so I did not.

A bright V-shaped object moved across the sky. We noticed it was twice the speed of an airplane. As it came into view, we noticed it had white lights on the sides with a red light circulating around the sides. The object moved fast for 30 seconds, then slowed down before moving out of view. It traveled in a straight line the whole way.

Every night out walking the dog if it is clear out I will check out to see how many drones and their positions. Flashing red green for Port & starboard. Running west to east. Just east of Linwood going east to maltby and past echo lake . And one north of Woodinville Washington running North Clearview and two more north of Clearview. Constantly there I am in a jetpack but the Jets avoid these areas at night.

I was outside smoking a cigarette on my back patio. Suddenly I looked up into the sky on a windy clear day. Thats when I noticed a weird hovering or floating black triangle shaped object in the blue sky. At this time I decided to take out my phone and film it, as I was filming it, it slowly floated down under the tree line after a couple of minutes. After that I stopped filming and went inside. About 15 minutes later I came outside to the front of my house getting ready to leave. Thats when I looked up at where I saw the object and there it was again just hovering there again, so I took my phone out again and filmed it. Minutes later it started floating down behind the tree line again. The next day I looked up in the sky again at about 12:30 pm, sure enough there it was again. I don't no what it could be, it's not a bird, it's not a plane or a drone.

Cordele, GA
A triangular-shaped huge object (the size of a football field) hovered just above the tree tops with flashing red lights. It made no sound and then vanished. Approximately 10 minutes later what looked like the same or an identical object hovered over my house, moved very slowly and disappeared again. Approximately 10 minutes later we saw what appeared to be the same object but was miles away in the sky and we recorded that on video. You can only see the red flashing lights from the video.

Philadelphia, PA
While stargazing one evening, as I do with family nearly every night, I witnessed a massive V-shaped craft silently traveling north to southwest for roughly 5 seconds. I cannot gauge how close it was in 1000s/ft but it appeared very large and I cannot express how dead silent it was as it flew past. I have never seen anything like that before which prompted my searches for similar experiences. The V was dark colored with dim running lights along the edges. Most interesting, in addition to its silence, was that it appeared like light was bending around the body of the V (imagine a triangle shape where the “V” was visible like a silhouette but the stars behind it were visible though stretched/distorted as it flew. It seemed to appear exactly when near-perpendicular to my vantage point and then it disappeared once at a certain viewing angle. No photos were taken as it was a brief moment.

They were low to the ground and in the shape of a triangle. they had one big light in the middle of it. It was slow to move but if the light went out it would apper some were else. There was two of them. And the light was white.

Springfield, OR
As I drove down the street on my way to the store at 8:11 pm on the evening of 1/8/2021, I glanced up from my windshield as my car drive in that direction down 17th st, and saw 3 strange lights in the spaced aprx 100ft apart from each other and grouped in the shape of a triangle. I immediately assumed it was a radio tower when I realized I had driven down that street 100’s of times before and there is no radio towers within that line of sight from that vantage. As I slowed down my car trying to figure out what I was seeing, I noticed that the lights in the shape of a triangle were almost drifting, but clearly steadily moving away from me, under power, with the leading end of the triangle angled down at what I think to be roughly a 30 degree angle as it flew horizontally, much the way a helicopter would fly with the nose slightly down. The red lights didn’t look like normal lights as they slowly pulsated and looked more glowing hot unlike aircraft lights. I then assumed I! was seeing 3 drones spaced apart moving in unison. As the triangles got closer to the cloud bank I could see a black triangular mass in between of each of the three glowing pulsating lights that was clearly what the lights were attached to. At this point I can honestly say I felt I was looking at something I have never seen before. I come from a family of pilots and have been in aircraft big and small, am familiar with a range of different types of fixed wing and helicopters (more than the average person) and have seen aircraft lights at night from the ground and am able to identify these vehicles at night quickly. I am also familiar with drones and know what they look like in the dark and their flight characteristics. Again, my estimate of the size of this object was roughly 100’ between each point of light and my guess at its altitude would be 300’ to 400’ max. As it slowly moved over the area near a local supermarket a quarter mile away, I lost sight of it as it entered! the cloud mass. This cloud mass was moving S West to N East a! s the ob ject was moving at a Northern trajectory, intersecting the cloud as it moved almost true north towards the Mowhawk hills north of my position. I want to make it clear I have no opinion of what I saw but It didn’t strike me as organic or man made in flight characteristics or appearance, I do not believe one way or the other when it comes to UFO’s and other supposed paranormal activity and I lean more towards the skeptical side of the phenomena. But what I saw disturbed me especially given its size. It looked as if it was flying into the cloud deliberately. I’m reporting this in an effort to ascertain if anyone else witnessed this and reported it and would appreciate someone contacting me if that is the case. This entire event transpired over the course of 20 seconds and I have no video footage given the fact I was behind the wheel.

Topeka, KS
I was driving north on Topeka Blvd. About 1/2 mile past Forbes Field when I saw a triangle UFO zig zagging around and then flew over the top of me. It had 3 greenish blue lights. I drove to the parking lot of fritolay and parked. The object was slowly going up in the air, hovering for about 15 to 20 seconds,then going down below the tree line. It did this 4 times until it went below the tree line and did not come back up. It was approximately 1/4 to 1/2 mile north west of Forbes Field. First sighting at 3:22 am central standard time on 1/8/21

Richmond, MO
Last night (1//5/21) at 10:00pm while watching tv at home in Richmond Missouri there was a noise that at first I thought was a snow plow, But it Kept getting louder. I stepped outside to have a look, After not seeing anything for about a Minute a black aircraft was overhead At first I assumed it was a B2 going by the sound also it was moving south east towards whiteman afb. The more I have been thinking about it today some things are not normal. The craft was extremely low, it was vibrating the house. The B2 does fly over sometimes but never even close to that low, I'd estimate Under 1000 feet probably closer to 500. When it went over it was flying Very slow, Comparable to an airliner right before touchdown but there's no place to land close to here. I looked at adbs and flightaware to see what it was and where it came from but it wasn't showing up on either. Lastly the only lights were two red solid on what I'd guess to be wing tips, It did appear to be flying level. I watched it go straight until it was too far away. Unfortunately even with it being so close I couldn't make out any details or shape really it seemed triangle. It was Cloudy and it didn't silhouette very well at all. After spending the day thinking and trying to look up answers only to find none, nothing would help. I've talked to others who heard it but didn't go out to see.

Attached is a 7 second long exposure shot taken on my iPhone 11 Pro 12/31/2020 at 8:50 pm on highway 58 headed south towards Klamath Falls I believe between Odell and Crescent Lake. My girlfriend and I were driving south down 58 and I kept having an impulse to look to my left window as the moon was dazzlingly bright and the night sky full of detail. I decided to slow my car to a halt in the middle of 58 as it was almost 9:00 pm with cars neither ahead or behind me as far as the eye could see. After I stopped my car I killed the lights and turned it off. It was dark ahead, behind, and all around me the only details to be seen were what was illuminated by moonlight. I stepped out and standing as still as I could muster took a 7 second long exposure shot of the night sky which initially I thought nothing of. Two days later while inspecting the photo I noticed 3 red lights in the top left of the frame in what appears to be a round or egg shaped-something in the cloud. If anything could be gleamed from this I love to hear proposals for what could contribute to the phenomenon seen in the photo given a long exposure 7 second time-frame on an iPhone 11 Pro in the dead of night with no possible light interference.

Orlando, FL
On 12/31/2020 at approximately 06:37 UTC (01:37 local/EST) I was in vicinity of the approach lights of Runway 35R at KMCO (this is shortly North-West of Lake Nona) when as I looked to the West I saw movement directly above me. What I observed was a triangular shaped aircraft flying on an approximate heading of 090, at a very high speed. The trailing edges of the object were illuminated in a neon green and they appeared to flicker similar to the way an NE-2 neon lamp or high pressure sodium street lamp flickers when you move your eyes as you look at it. It looked very similar to the triangular shaped highlighters many of us had in school, where each corner of the triangle was a different color marker tip. The object appeared to be flying above or in a 5500' cloud deck (per the ATIS) and it covered perhaps 1/2-1/3 of my observable sky in under a second. I would estimate the object's speed to be approximately 300-500kt., it was well above the speed one might observe a typical commercial or GA aircraft upon departure. There was no sound or overpressure associated with this object and since I am unsure the height I am unable to determine the size of the object. It appeared about as big as a man's hand when viewed at arm's length, but again I am unsure of the size of the object.

At approximately 17:35 on December 28th, 2020, I was heading home from work on Tile Flat Rd westbound between SW Scholls Ferry Rd and SW Farmington Rd. After passing the intersection with SW Clark Hill Rd I noticed what appeared to be three white lights appearing to mark the outside corners of a solid object at about 25 degrees above the horizon. I was unable to stop on that road to get any pictures. I turned onto SW Farmington Rd heading west. I went through the intersection at SW Road Bridge Rd and could again see the object. By this time, it had lowered to about 18 degrees above the horizon and was quite noticeably further from me and continuing to move slowly away. I turned onto Highway 219 northbound towards Hillsboro and drove for about 1 ¼ miles and was able to find a safe place to pull off the road. The time was 17:48. The object was visible about 8 degrees off the horizon just above the coast range mountains. I was able to get a little over three minutes of video of the object. The camera I used was unable to get a consistent clear image, but it appears to clearly show at least the three corner lights. The one closest to me was the brightest with the other two being visible, but dimmer. I tried pointing to it for people driving by, but apparently I was unable to catch their attention to stop and view it. After I stopped the camera, I tried to reach it with a 5 mA blue laser with no reaction. I was able to see it periodically for about the next ten minutes, but then it disappeared below the horizon. The sighting lasted from 17:35 to about 17:55.

At approximately 17:35 on December 28th, 2020, I was heading home from Ham Radio Outlet on SW Pacific Ave in Portland OR on Tile Flat Rd westbound between SW Scholls Ferry Rd and SW Farmington Rd to my home in Forest Grove OR. After passing the intersection with SW Clark Hill Rd I noticed what appeared to be three bright white lights appearing to mark the outside corners of a solid object at about 25 degrees above the horizon. I would estimate the object to have had about 100 feet between each light on the bottom side. There were more lights along one edge of the object. I was unable to stop on that road to get any pictures. I turned onto SW Farmington Rd heading west. I went through the intersection at SW Road Bridge Rd and could again see the object. By this time, it had lowered to about 18 degrees above the horizon and was quite noticeably further from me and continuing to move slowly away.

The object was visible about 8 degrees off the horizon just above the coast range mountains. I was able to get a little over three minutes of video of the object. The camera I used was unable to get a consistent clear image, but it appears to clearly show at least two of the three corner lights and a couple of the back edge lights. The one closest to me was the brightest with the rest being visible, but dimmer. I tried pointing to it for people driving by, but apparently I was unable to catch their attention to stop and view it. After I stopped the camera, I tried to reach it with a 5 mA blue laser with no reaction. I was able to see it periodically for about the next ten minutes as I continued on my way home, but then it disappeared below the horizon. The sighting lasted from 17:35 to about 17:55. Below is as close a rendition as I could recollect. Reflection on the incident reminded me that there were lights along one edge, but I cannot clearly remember the exact configuration of those lights. I believe they were round as well.

At approximately 3:45 AM on December 26th 2020 I had arose early and was having coffee at my desk when I noticed a triangular shaped object moving from west to east in a very slow manner. While moving across the sky there were white and red lights that would blink on and off. There was no sound and there were no other aircraft that I could see in the area. There were no obstructions and the object was clearly visible and was definitely triangular in shape.

Quartzite, AZ
Walking my dog after sunset. Saw one three red light in the West. Didn’t think much of it until the three lights started fading while at the some time three different red lights appeared lower and to the south of the fading lights. The relative distance between the lights was significant and though at the time I should have heard something if it was an aircraft. I heard nothing. Watched the second set of lights for a minute until they faded too. The lights configuration was middle light slightly higher than the two other lights were slightly lower and equal distance from center light. I waited for maybe 5 minutes for them to return but they didn’t. Heard no noise. The lights were approximately 10-15 degrees above ground. There are no mountains or roads at that height above the flat Terrane of the Quartsite BLM area that’s 6 miles north of Quartsite, AZ.
