Calgary (Canada), AB · Canada
At 11:50 I noticed a small, bright orange glow in the sky hovering motionlessly over the east side of downtown Calgary. It was the shape of a semi circle, and had orange lights that flickered slowly and constantly. It moved slowly and steadily from the east to the west as I watched it for one hour. I unfortunately fell asleep before it left the visible sky and don't know where it ended up. I shot a few videos of the object, but it's hard to discern the shape and flickering on my iphone camera. However, I would be happy to share those videos. Two are taken an hour apart so you can see the distance it went. I'm a 28 year old with a steady job and have never claimed to see a ufo or anything supernatural event in my life. I'm just wondering if anyone else saw what I did and can explain?

Woke up walk outside at 1:35 am to have a cig.out of the north this red orange glow came floating years me. I thought to myself OK! It came within approximately 3 football fields away and stop. Turned sideways and that's when I saw the shape C.It continued slowly floating to the right stopped turned forward again and just sat there a sec. Then moved to the right again and stopped turned around and went back through same motion to the point it first stopped. Then gently flew back north out of sight. There was no sound during the whole time. It lasted just about 60 seconds. I ask myself why did they come show me this???

On the night of 9-12-20 at 2020hrs, I witnessed an orange dim glowing arura/haze object flying through the sky extremely fast, which made many straight and zigzag formations, that had stops before moving onto a new flight pattern. Before I seen what, I mentioned above, I saw a bright white object that was bright, and it went dark. This object was stationary. I thought it was a solar flare, satellite, or space junk. It was none of the above. As I saw this, I looked straight up looking for anything else that was flying around. At this moment, I saw this orange aura/haze object fly from the North East to the North West. As it flew it made an extremely fast straight line, fastest thing I have ever seen, then came to an amazingly fast stop. Then made another fast movement from its stopped position and went to the right. It was flying all over the sky. It continued to do these extremely fast flight patterns for a duration of 20 seconds. I was the only witness to this. The constellations this object flew from what I could see on my end were, Lacerta, Cygnus, Draco, Hercules, Lyra, Corona Borealis, Canesuenatiei and Bootes. The direction it ultimately flew to was, 311 degrees North West. My location is: Lat 40.119488-degree North and Lon -75.512198-degree West. The weather this night, the sky was clear with no clouds or upper level haze.

I was on my balcony that over looks the ocean on two separate occasions dating 08/30/2020 at 20:55 and 09/11/2020 at 22:01 I recorded both sightings. The first in August, I saw lights that were visible for a minute or two, I yelled to my son to come see if I was losing my mind. I began to record and then the lights turned into a white cloud that was floating through the sky, and just vanished. The next sighting was not long after on September 11 2020 I saw a weird light in the sky which again called my son to witness and also recorded The second sighting last much longer then the first and was different it’s hard to explain but I was able to catch both on video.

Cabot, AR
It was a very red looking object in the sky. Whenever looked at with a phone but object began to spin very fast. When a video is taking you could see the object spinning however if you took a photo you had a still image of a circle with a smaller circle inside of it

We were on the small highway coming home, when I saw a somewhat rectangular object in the sky. It looked like a rectangle with a triangle on top, with two bright lights in the front of the triangle, and lights on the side. I know it wasn’t a plane, or at least not any plane I know of. As far as I know, planes don’t move fast and quietly across the sky, and planes don’t follow you home in the sky. I know what the planes near my house look like at night. This wasn’t it. I live near a Air Force base, that usually has big cargo planes flying above. You can hear them from miles away. This made no sound, and traveled quickly, but seemed to dart across the sky, seemingly following my car. Ps. I’m very sorry I cannot give my information to contact me, I am a minor, and feel uncomfortable with being contacted.

Brockport, NY
Returned home from walking dogs. Nearly pitch black save moonlight from half moon. I was bent over to unleash dogs and a bright light engulfed my surroundings. I thought it might be lightening. I looked up and saw what appeared to be a vertical stream of disturbed air in the western sky, similar to what a plane leaves behind. The stream was much lighter in appearance to the darker surrounding sky and looked like tiny particles. There was no airborne vehicle to be seen. The stream faded quickly within 9 seconds or so, all together. It did not start to fade at one end then the other, but rather the entire anomaly very uniformly. My dogs did not seem to notice the account, especially when they would normally be frightened of lightening and the subsequent thunder.

Queen Creek, AZ
Bright orange colored object in the sky, still there and has been circling and going back and forth for over two hours now. Just northwest of the moon at this time. Has been making circular and unclear movements for over two hours now, but is definitely moving in weird directions. Not a plane or any aircraft.

We live on a hill with unobstructed views so it was pretty easy to spot the bright object. I know the military base likes to travel down towards our area to run tests a lot so maybe it was something they were testing. It was strange. I was creeped out so I shut the blinds tight and left the bathroom light on. We did not sleep much afterwards.

Naples, FL
Date: 9-7-20 Time: approx. 11:15 am - 11:45 am EDT Location: Naples, FL on the beach Conditions: partly cloudy (cumulus variety), light breeze from W/NW, calm seas As I was sitting on the beach facing west out over the gulf, I noticed a small dark object tracking very linearly from right to left (heading south) over the gulf. At first I thought it was a bird, but saw no indication of wing movement or change of direction. The object passed in front of the cumulus clouds. If I had to scale the object, it appeared compact like a dot, but in the same size grouping as a bird. Still, no detail like wings or change of course. What got my attention was the lack of any "organic" variation in its movement. Just constant speed and linear track. Everything else in the sky (like birds) had variations. Later as I saw large birds against a similar set of clouds, it was quite easy to see their wings and variations in movement. Had the object passed behind the clouds, I would have dismissed it as a plane. I started estimating angles, based upon a 90 degree relationship between the gulf and directly overhead. Bisecting that angle, it appeared that the object was in the 35-40 degrees above the horizon. As for the time I could see it (1 - 2 minutes), I would estimate that it covered a field of 45 - 90 degrees, as it moved right to left (assuming I'm perpendicular to the gulf facing west). I didn't have my phone with me during the sighting, but walked back to the car within the hour. I took a few pictures of similar clouds if I need to get a better estimate on distance and angles. Further, I took video of birds flying just to demonstrate to myself that wings and organic flight behavior are obviously different than what I saw. Was it a drone monitoring crowds on the beach? Possibly. But it seemed too far away. Drones are often closer, and usually show more variation in movement. I've been interested in UFO's since a child. Although I've had unexplained life experiences, I don't recall any remarkable UFO sightings. While the sighting today was oddly out of place, it was certainly not "sensational". I think it will only have meaning if others report similar events en masse.

Hillsborough, NH
I was getting a fire going out side with my two daughters and ones mom. To hang and cook some s’mores. When the mother and oldest daughter started saying loudly. What is that ?! What is that ?! In some kind of panic / nervous voice . As they where looking up pointing I was thinking they saw an animal in a tree. As I came over and said what where. They pointed in a different direction as I seen this big bright orange type color like the shape of a hot air balloon. Going across the sky. Moving fast but not a like flash fast. Airplane fast but way to big and oddly shaped for an airplane. I am ex military. Served over seas and this made my hairs stand some. There was and airplane at a decent amount of distance behind it heading in the same direction towards it.

Looked like a red donut flying with the donut center pointed to the horizon. Very clear, light evening sky. It rotated back and forth showing the hole in the center. It was moving in a direction opposite of the cloud motion, but appeared to be much lower. Made no noise.

Glenville, NY
On September 4, 2020 I saw what looked like a star that was still visible in the morning sky. I was taking my morning walk with my husband and decided to take a photo of the star. It was very bright and almost twinkling. As I pulled out my phone the light began to dim like it knew I was photographing it. It began to move so I crossed the street and snapped a few more photos. It quickly seemed to rise in elevation and then disappeared. I have 3 photos from 6:26 AM to 6:29 AM, the 6:26 photo shows it as a star, but the next two I zoomed a little more and definitely notice that it was a drone, or some type of high tech machine. I live directly across the street from Scotia Air Force Training Base, I see the solders all of the time, so one day I asked them if they used drones to surveil the base and I was told by the guard, no drones here. I have seen these star like objects over my home area many many times. I would love to know who or what is hanging out over my air space. I will try to attach the photos. Please use your technology to zoom in and you will see that it is not a star at all. Thank you for taking the time to read and review this.

The shape consisted of two chevrons with a vertical line in the middle; chevron shapes were more elongated matching the length of the middle strip; view from more of a side angel than direct overhead; barely moving.

The area was quite open being an eight lane road with single story businesses and a mid sized man made lake that parallels the road. Suddenly a bright flash caught my eye. I immediately looked to my left and about 400-600ft above the tree line a big (semi cab size), what appeared to be a orange (star color) translucent cube with it's edges glowing plasma white. The sky was extremely clear at that moment and it just looked like it shot out of nothing, slowly rotated around 2 times (.5-1 second, distance 2 miles) while leaving a small line white trail (similar to a shooting star). Then proceeded to blast off about 3-5 miles at light speed and disappeared back into nothing. I've seen several ufos before much further up in the sky and the traditional shapes but this thing was unlike anything else. It's proximity, shape, and speed were completely foreign to me. Almost as if it jumped in through a portal and the immediately left after 2 seconds. Anyways, just wanted to report this to potentially get info in the future of similar sightings or maybe someone sees this report and saw the same thing.

Deming, NM
Driving through Deming New Mexico my girlfriend noticed something stationary in the sky. She asked me to look. I pulled over to the side of the road. All I could make out was something white in the sky. After looking for what I guess was about 30 seconds the object rotated. The rotation was slow and turned from left to right. About midway through the turn the sun reflected off of it. I could tell it was oddly shaped for an aircraft looking square and oblong. After turning lengthways facing what I think was south, it started moving south. The movement seemed slow at first then moved out of site. After returning to my truck we were wondering why no one else was seeing this and stopping. After driving off, it reappeared. I stopped again looking out the window. It did this exact same maneuver I think three times over a period of about 30 minutes. Then didnt reappear. My girlfriend and myself didnt know what to make of what we had just seen. Excited and amazed at first. It just seemed so surreal. The following day after telling a couple friends, the reality set in for me and almost had a panic attack. I took a xanax I had and it calmed me down. I know this for sure, I'm not talking about this anymore. I know I'll never be the same, and scared to look towards the sky.

Cheyenne, WY
At approximately 7:39 p.m., Wednesday, September 2nd, 2020, my partner Marcia and I walked the newly completed asphalt loop in a new subdivision (Saddle Ridge) development in East Cheyenne, WY. I wanted to stall our walk on the North-Eastern corner to get her a better background as the sun would be dropping below the horizon and gives an incredible view. As we walked up and down the northern stretch gathering panoramic and regular still images of the skyline, I noticed a peculiar shape that did not align naturally and drew my eye to it. After I thought I lost it behind the moving clouds, Marcia, a sheriff‘s deputy here in Laramie County, still had eyes on it and helped me reacquire it. At that point, I was able to capture it on my iPhone with some not so flattering commentary. As we walked home, it started to move and was what I thought was something slowly crashing through the atmosphere, and we could witness breaking up into smaller pieces like the shape of salmon steak and much more brightly reflective than the more massive body which started to thin, and the wind revealed it to be a formed cloud. I decided to not waste time walking the rest of the loop and cut through the undeveloped land full of live tumbleweeds in sandals just to hurry and grab my pair of Nikon Aculon A211 10x22x50 binoculars to help determine what we were watching. I called my parents, who reside an hour north of me (Fort Laramie), and see if they could see anything or not. They could not, so I sent her some images trying to show what we were witnessing while trying to talk through what it possibly could be. Marcia and I continued to talk with my mother on the phone and pass the binoculars back and forth as we watched this object seed clouds in little lines and change angles, descend and ascend while hovering above a wind farm and turbines we have out in the West/Southwest or eight o’clock with proper North orientation. I had purchased an adapter for the binoculars that I could also use on a telescope and spotting scope come this hunting season and allow me to attach my iPhone to and capture images by magnification. Remembering I had it is a box from my recent move, I left the road in front of my house to quickly grab it to prove what we couldn’t describe. By the time I found the bracket adapter and made it outside, Marcia had lost it, and I swept the last known location, and I too could not locate any further trace.

Otis, OR
Was looking upward toward the southeast at what I believed to be insects swarming in the atmosphere. They really caught my eye in the sunlight so I stepped back to let the edge of the roof block the sun while I observed. The insects appeared to be randomly flying around and then collecting into a group and moving eastward. They seemed to ‘poof’ out in a ball with a small strand of insects linking ball after ball. I remarked at the behavior to my spouse. He has vision issues so I normally take photos of low contrast things for him to get a better view. After 5 shots increasing the zoom, I showed the photos and was surprised to see the oblong feature. It was not visible to the naked eye. It was large enough that my spouse could have seen that. I did note a contrail to the west as I looked around the sky, unusual for this area.

This appeared to be a box with lit up squares. A radio program featured two pilots who saw a similar object.

For over 2 years, I have been encountering very strange but real human looking creatures and robot beings in almost everyday basis. They speak, they write and they come to planet earth in everyday basis or they live here. I record their voices and take pictures of them. I am only sending you one but I had taken hundreds of pictures and recorded at least close to 100 videos of out of this world creatures, I call them spirits.

August 30 the wind was traveling 4 kilometers an hour from the south west. I was setting up my telescope for astrophotography when a bright light appeared in the NNW beside the roof of a house but off in the distance. It was well under 500 feet altitude and anywhere from a quarter mile to a mile away. It was a very bright white light with an undulating mist cloud in front of it. The light seemed to be saucer shaped but it was hard to see with the undulating cloud in front of it. I scrambled to set my phone up to take a video and when I looked up the bright light was now a tiny white circular dot light and the undulating cloud was now a perfect sphere around the white light which slowly changed into more of a donut shape darker in the center but still spherical looking from my angle. This cloud was also about 1 1/2 times larger than the initial cloud around the bright light. It was slowly traveling south at the same speed the entire time. Even the cloud kept moving south. After about five or so seconds the tiny dot light disappeared and I was just a cloud moving south and it went behind trees out of sight and didn’t emerge out the other side. I reported this to MUFON that night and respect this organization as well and wanted to report it here also since there were numerous people within a 250km radius that saw the exact same thing.

We were standing in the backyard. A glowing ring appeared out of nowhere. The light started pulsating on the ring and then would go out. This happened several times. It was very clear out with no clouds. It looked to be way outside of our atmosphere. The ring circumference was about the size of a full moon. The middle was completely black. We were in shock.
