I looked out the window at what i thought was a plane, but it was going too slow. Eventually it stopped and went backwards before hovering. It started to go back the direction it was going, but then it started to descend, still flashing red and white lights the whole time. I lost sight of it when it dipped low, obstructed by a roof. I tried to record it, but it was too dark outside and the object was too far away for a good photo.

This was a clear night and this object was completely lit up and clear. The lighting seemed amber in colour. It zipped across the sky from the west to north east at the speed if you were watching a teacher draw an arch on a black board. I usually take out recycles at this time before calling it a night and look up often. We have a small airport near by and the big airliners go right over our house to turn left and proceed to Toronto Intl. At 11pm not much Airliners are moving on this pathway but I watched this object come over my garage and zip across the sky at about 30,000 feet (guessing). No wings, just a ball with lights and it was gone.

At approx. 20:30 local time I observed a solid white light that remained stationary. It would fade out and then fade back in again. It never changed location as it was about 30 degrees above the eastern horizon. It remained there for 45 min in the exact same spot

I recorded 3 of the objects in different areas in the sky but all while I was facing West towards the Hudson River and New Jersey. I take sky pictures a lot, both day and night.Thursday night I saw lots of faint stars. Then I saw a brighter object. I thought it must be a planet. Then I thought it was two stars, but they were too closely se and looked shaky not twinkling.I looked through my phone camera and then cleaned my glasses. They seemed to be moving. I kept moving the phone from my sight and then back up. Then I only saw one of the objects. I didn’t record initially because I thought I was seeing things. I held the phone still but did record. I watched the first object I was observing move out of the camera frame several times before I recorded. Then I recorded a second object. Then another object moved too fast for me to record. My third recording is of the most erratic object. At one point, I thought it was gone, but it popped back into view. I think a fifth object can be seen very briefly in the lower left corner of that third video.it is quite fast.

Saw a blinking light as I was driving, the light was not moving in any direction, just stationary in one spot in the sky . I then zoomed 30x in with my phone camera and saw two white circles blinking steadily, blinks about 1 second apart. To the naked eye, it looked like one single blinking light. This was not a plane, not a radio tower, and too far away and high in the sky to be a drone. I drove by again 20 minutes later, and the lights were gone.

Shape of flying object - round Object was emitting bright silver light Shape of the flying object was very small, like football It was hovering behind a tree. I saw a bright light emerging from the tress and I shifted to see it clearly And then I saw it clearly after that it speeds up and flys away. All this happened in 10 seconds.

The object may have been emitting a low humming motor noise, but it was hard to tell between the noise of freeway traffic. The object seemed to change shape into a disc then back into a fireball. It disappeared behind me as I turned and I couldn't see it any longer.

I pulled into the driveway after dropping my Grandson off at home. Exiting the car, I noticed an unusual purple light through a hole in the clouds. My first thought was to get my wife and have her look, but then I decided a picture first might be a better idea. After I took the picture, I went in to get her; it was gone before she could look. The color seems to be lit from the inside or from behind. By the time I could get my phone out, the clouds had covered a substantial area that was previously exposed through the hole in the clouds. I don't think it was a light from the ground because the clouds would reflect it. the lighted object seemed to be in the cloud. I thought it was interesting and unusual enough to submit it.

I saw at least 10 lights moving slowly in a line and then moving straight up until they disappeared one by one. One of them moved erratically before it disappeared. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

I was standing in my driveway facing western sky when this very bright dark orange to red object appeared from the north traveling south . Object looked large and it was flying fairly low at a fast speed. It was very strange looking maybe a fireball but it was controlled. It traveled for about 5 to 10 min then disappeared into the clouds in the south western direction. I noticed it got very quiet no noises , no crickets , frogs or birds sounding.

Just looked up and noticed it, just before the sighting there were strange clouds in the sky. They looked like the smoke when the china balloon was taken down.

Saw three circles of light forming a triangle, they were moving around at a slow pace, in circular and diagonal patterns. They were also twinkling, like stars, but I checked an astronomical map, and they didn’t match any known objects.

I was outside with my mom in Biddeford Maine located in York county looking at the sky and stars when at 9:58PM I saw a circular object that was still then I saw it move and zip across the sky which didn’t have any sound or leave a chem trail and I saw it get close to another circular object and it had completely disappeared after it got close to the other circular object which I’m sure was another ufo

Airline Capt for major US carrier. 25 yrs airline, 28 years USAF (they overlap). Flying to Europe from NY, 50ish miles before Boston at 35000' heading 060 deg I notice a light ahead and above come into view, grow very bright, looked to move right and down then dim till gone. Then another one, or the same one, appears, grows bright, and dims as it moves away. I noticed this for several minutes before pointing it out to my first officer (highly experienced and also ex-military). Lights were not consistent - sometimes one followed by another then another, sometimes 2 or 3 at once, sometimes movement from left to right was pronounced. This went on for approx 20 min. I have several videos (taken with phone). NOT starlink, not other satellites, not a planet, not space station, not ships at sea - we both know what all of those look like and we both agreed that this was not any of those. Only possibility is military aircraft. Problem with that is 1) lights were very bright and came on dim to bright to dim which aircraft lighting is set (just on bright); 2) white lights NOT green/red navigation lights or strobes; 3) the light looked very similar to how airliners look as we come in to land - with our gear down, landing lights and nose gear lights on. No aircraft has their landing gear out at 35000' plus; 4) We both felt that the objects were 10000 or more above us. VERY high for even military activity. For videos - 1) you will see venus (?) in lower right corner. Bright. Not what I am talking about. 2) The perspective from the videos makes them look lower than us, but we both watched them and were sure these objects were above us and by a lot. Not sure why it appears that way. -City in video is Boston -Bright light on right edge is a planet -No moon, no clouds (video quality makes it appear there is low clouds - no) -Very few stars out except if you looked very high and to the north -Objects in question are in middle/middle high of videos

We saw two round, blinking red white blue green objects in the sky. They were stationary for the most part therefore at least 10 minutes or so, and then disappeared. You can see in the video that at one point a plane flew underneath one or past or through one. The next night we noticed one object stationary for approximately 10 to 20 minutes. The week before we saw two objects, same size shape, colors, moving extremely slowly, and then disappearing into the clouds.

I routinely look up at the night sky especially when full moons are out and seen something floating around just east of the moon. It was circle shaped and it's brightness would undulate through various shades of white light. I started recording with my phone camera and when I zoomed the details showed something completely different from what I could see. The shape looks like an elongated oval with a void in the center that's circular in shape. I drove home to see it flash in and out just above the horizon during the freeway drive & when I got home it returned to it's original sighting spot next to the moon. There was only one of these objects and the whole thing lasted about 2 hours. I am the only observer. I was actually working at my second job at the LA yard moving trucks to different cities containing customer furniture. By day I am a Letter Carrier for USPS.
