It was nighttime and I was stargazing. When I looked up I noticed a light moving around in random directions rapidly in my area of sight. It then moved quickly in a direction and there was a big flash of light. The UFO disappeared. A moment later, the light showed up again in a different area in the sky. I believe there was another flash and it was gone after that. It was far in the distance so I do not know exactly what I was seeing. The people with me thought it was a drone and reflected off the sun but the sun seemed too far gone for that. It would be nice to have this explained by a professional.

I witnessed something launching upwards Susan Northwest of my location. It left a steam Trail that was not consistent with that of the usual aircraft that fly over this area. It went straight up an art slightly to the north but continued moving up. The trail then ceased and the object continued launching up in the atmosphere it appeared to be white possibly circular and the sun was reflecting off of it from the West. It continued to move up until it disappeared in the upper atmosphere. I am not aware of any facilities in this area that would launch missiles, Rockets, or satellite. The trail lingered for 10 to 15 minutes after object ascended out of sight. Upon A Brief research of are craft exhaust trails and trajectory, I determined that it was definitely not an airplane but what I witnessed seems to be consistent with rocket launches in missile launches. Again there is nothing near me that I am aware of that would be launching anything into the Outer atmosphere. there was no sound and the object was ascending at a great speed.

Initially looked like a bright orange streetlight, but was too large and high in the sky. At first the shape was semi-oval, then slowly appeared to be eclipsed by something and disappeared entirely after a minute. It seemed to stay in one spot the entire time.

A clear day's afternoon I was sitting in the back yard and looked up at the sky. I saw a dot with a flashing light tracing an irregular trajectory that seemed to come out from behind a small cloud. The only cloud in the area at the time. It was a black dot high in the sky. The bright light flashed at 1 sec intervals. It moved in the 9 o'clock direction and turned 90 deg to the 6 o'clock not very far from the cloud. I reached for my cell to set the camera and when I looked up again, it had disappeared and also the small cloud. I wonder if anyone in the vicinity has reported this sighting.

Bangor, ME
I saw large red flashing lights in the sky heading away from me at a slow rate of speed.I pulled my tuck over and watched it slowly go away from me with a slight turn to the left. Whatever it was it was large Much bigger than I would expect from a plane and the flashing red lights were large also. I could not tell the shape as it was going straight away from me but there was a row of flashing red lights with at least 1 that seemed more out front. I would like to know if anything like this has been reported.

A strange object emitting green light flew past the sky from SE to W. Because it was dark I couldn't see the shape of the object. The speed was not too fast, almost comparable to a light aircraft. It did not generate any sound when it flew past the sky. For the altitude, it wasn't flying too high. I could see it roughly for a minute before I lost sight of it.

Driving on 275 West around 3:15PM, September 20, 2020, we spotted a UFO directly above us as we were getting off the Lawrenceburg exit. There was another vehicle stopped on the exit ramp looking up to the sky. As we were trying to find out what they were looking at, we noticed an unidentified flying object that rapidly moved from one spot to another in an instant. I would guess that this jumped about 5 miles further west in the blink of an eye. It looked like a white craft, unless it was just lit up. Then it was gone. My girlfriend and I live in Kentucky and we are normal humans between 50 and 56 years old. I have witnessed several UFO's in my life. Back in the late 70's my whole family witnessed one hovering just about our CB radio antenna.

Our Ring doorbell captured event as person detected. When I watched back the film I didn’t see anyone however there was 2 blinking lights 10 feet from the ground facing the house with movement and then it appeared to go behind a pine tree we have at the corner of the house. The lights were very bright and could still be seen. Video clip was 30 seconds.

Topeka, KS
Saw three lights in linear formation, and thought at first it might have been an approaching plane. No sound, and two of the three lights in formation began pulsating. Rounded a corner in the road, around a treeline, and hoped to get a closer view. Formation was gone.

Barnwell, SC
I saw the object coming straight down from high in the sky. I made three trails and at the end of the third trail the sunlight reflected off of a shiny silver round object before it went hiding behind a cloud. The object never went below the cloud and as the cloud got overhead it formed what looked like a giant hula hoop with the trails in the middle of it

Everett, WA
Noticed a bright light traveling north to south, at first thought maybe low flying plane but it had no visible strobe lights. After about 3 or 4 seconds it appeared to drop a second light that slowly flickered out as it fell. A couple seconds after it dropped the light it completely disappeared. no clouds in the sky, perfectly clear night. never seen anything like that before, kinda odd...

Wilmington, NC
Caught my eye because it was really high, leaving a short contrail. Looked like a small company jet but seemed to be moving faster than anything else I’m used to seeing. It quickly stayed on a south south west direction. It may have been a glare, but as it went onward it seemed to have a glow like a small fireball.

Brighton (UK/England), EAST SUS · United Kingdom
My initial sighting caught my attention as the lights were small but so bright and were at a distance of approx 2 miles. They were low to the top of the hill and initially flying in a line equally spaced apart. After approx a minute 2 of the lights in an instant moved forward then back behind the other two lights. I found it quite disturbing as it was not a natural movement and I knew straight away I had witnessed an unexplainable phenomena.

Yelm, WA
Light coming from the south; light noticeably changing from red to turquoise, in longer than common intervals. As it got closer, it stopped, did a zig-zag move, and then continued Northbound for a minute, growing more clear yet so far away. Sudden stop and sharp right turn, west-northwest. I shined a strong flashlight to see if it was a drone, but it was too far.

Took place between RAS ALHAGUE and RAS ALGETHI. Bright white flash followed by three smaller lights moving in the shape of a U rather than a straight path like a plane, then disappeared.

North Myrtle Beach, SC
On Monday August 17th while stargazing for shooting stars between the hours of 10 and 11 pm, my friend Pam and I noticed something very unusual. I live in the Windy hill section of North Myrtle beach SC and while sitting on the oceanfront balcony we observed a large orange light which then became two lights, then three, and ultimately four orange colored lights in the sky over the water. The lights stayed there for a count of about seven seconds then went away. Pam and I immediately thought UFO. While we were discussing what it wasn’t, over the course of about 30 minutes it appeared three more times. After the third time we observed what we thought were military aircraft searching the same area for a few minutes. When the aircraft were no longer in the area the final observation of the orange lights appeared. I am sending this information to NUFORCE so they can record the time and date of the incident. I called Nufoce last night and the person I spok! e with said to fill out the form on the website. My iPad is not allowing me to use the form so I am sending this email while the incident is fresh in my mind.

Pace, FL
On Sunday night, August 16, 2020, shortly before midnight, I took my dogs outside before bedtime . I looked up at the eastern sky and saw a very bright object that I had not previously seen in that location. I watched it for a minute or so, and then went in the house to get my binoculars. When I came back out, the object was still there so I began focusing on it. As I was doing so, the object just suddenly completely disappeared. I’ve been seeing strange objects in the eastern sky for around 3 years now, but never this bright. Previously, the objects have rapidly moved in ways that typical aircraft cannot (sideways, up and down, etc.). They also appeared to not be stars because sometimes they were there and sometimes they weren’t, whereas other stars and planets are always visible in the same approximate locations.

22:00 Looked up at clear sky and saw what at first I thought was a satellite, my partner came and looked and said it was moving too fast to be a satellite. As I watched, there was a bright flash and then it reappeared and then it disappeared into the north west. It happened twice more, all starting in different directions but ending up in the same spot and disappearing.

A few minutes later, a point of white light further to the east, southeast was seen dropping down slowly and turning partially red as it sank down out of visibility behind a residential building. Some description of directional movement is best estimate, as it is difficult to determine distance and north-south movement from my vantage point.

Female HR Manager Male Military....possibly 3 or 4 different objects 1 large grey rectangle shape...2nd much smaller and all we could see was a bright star shape. This one kept going around the others very quickly...another one with a white tower in the middle. One time this object was by itself then another the small star like object right next to it. The other we just don't know. They all stayed in the same vicinity for more than an hour.

I was standing in my yard at 4:02 a.m. in the morning when I noticed in the sky a giant angled craft... I could only see the lights and it's possible they were Chinese lanterns but not sure.

Orillia (Canada), ON · Canada
I was walking on the bike path with my dog. I heard this strange sound. Then seen a light following me. I thought it was a car. Looking around for the light when I then looked up. The craft continued to fly South East. I waited in the area looking up. The craft flew back, this time silent. The light was a Bright white. Then dimmed to Orange, back to white. Then redlights on both sides, Changing direction from North West to quick shift to East. Then back to the North West. It looked like a helicopter, but was to quiet. To much shifting to be a plane. To high and to far to be a personal drone.
