Flint, MI
I was driving home from vacation in New York City, and when we got home, there were dogs howling loudly and crickets chirping aggressively. I then saw a yellow-white flash in the sky, and it hovered for about 30 seconds. It made a loop-the-loop and then flew straight up, and then began to fly forward. The farther it got away, the brighter the light. It stayed in the sky for about 2 minutes and then disappeared. When it disappeared, the noise stopped. I was 100% sober (I like to smoke weed since it is legal in Michigan) and didn't know what the hell happened.

Grand Rapids/Blackberry Township, MN
Curtains open in my living room and noticed in the trees about 30-40 ft. Away from the window I noticed a flash of light size of a marble flash in the tree line thinking it was the shine of an animal blinking but curious enough it say me down to proceed looking. It only took about 45 seconds for it to flash again hovering above the chicken choop 10 ft away from the first spot. This happened over and over and sometimes often enough I can follow the path it is flying and now glowing light without the flash. I sensed a feeling that this thing new I was watching it when it stopped flashing and was still. I could follow it at one point near 2:30am flashing over to my neighbor diagonally down the dirt road from me and height max estimate of 45ft sometimes. At about 3:00am sightings began to spread apart appearing. This was witnessed by my boyfriend as well unaware almost 4 hours of this fit into what felt like 10 minutes. I hope this relates to anyone cause that’s! what I’m looking for what everyone wants too. Acknowledgment.

Lakewood, WA
Military veteran, lived near and currently by military base and flightline. I have seen numerous planes and aircraft that can be marked. On a dark, cloudy night, standing outside my open view back yard, I saw a bright flash appear for a moment in the clouds. A couple minutes after the first flash, there was a second flash in roughly the same position. I was not able to see any craft due to the cloudy night, but the flashes pierced through the veil of clouds enough to catch my attention twice. My German shepherd was quite tense during this time, whining and pacing like there was something disturbing them. They react to military scheduled drills like artillery training, and have grown accustomed to them. This event at night disturbed my dog suddenly.

bellefonte, PA
I saw the Starlink satellites when I was on my back porch. After they passed, I noticed a bright orb in the sky; it was moving in different directions. I tried to take a video of it but couldn't catch it. I was able to snap a picture of it. Then I saw a very bright red light in the sky; it seemed to be flying at a low altitude. I immediately took this picture. I've been trying to debunk this for a couple of years. Maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know, but here you go.

New York City (Brooklyn), NY
At approximately 8:30pm eastern time, I noticed a 1 pulsating light that was stationary in the western sky facing east. As I approached the window with phone to capture footage, the object began to move move towards my location facing east. Colors changing from red , white and green. Very bright. I was afraid the object noticed me by the movements it was making as if scanning the location. Then suddenly this object made a move toward the northern sky in a L shaped movement. Once it turned to change the direction it appeared to change into a object with 2 circular objects and the lights changed from a bright spot light to lights similar to an aircraft, as if mimicking an aircraft.

Fairfax, VT
On this evening I was going to close the front door when I noticed red flashing lights in the sky directly off to the northwest. At one point there were five and they were all spaced out, then two dropped out of sight and three remained. They would blink red, then disappear. I have a video of this. My husband also witnessed the event.

St. Petersburg, FL
We went to the beach to have a late night drink around 1am, in St. Petersburg, Florida. There were 4 of us sitting on a blanket and talking for about an hour. My sister, cousin and I were looking at the hotels down the strip of the beach. All of a sudden, we saw a white, bright, round looking shape, that quickly appeared. It looked like it shot up in the sky because you could see a slight tail from the light follow it. It was very bright and a significant size for something in the sky. It moved horizontally and darted back into the distance, all within a second or two. I would say it disappeared for a millisecond and reappeared really far away as it moved.. the bright light was dimmer and smaller because of the distance, but you could still see how intense it was.

Payette, ID
I am a police officer in the county listed in the form. On 03/02/21 at approx 0200 hours I was parked in my patrol car facing north. I noticed a blinking bright red light, it initially appeared to be the light of a cell phone tower, I then noticed the light was moving West to East towards Boise (approx. 45 miles away) at a steady slow speed initially speeding up as it went. The light was red only, there was no green or white that is typical on Helicopters. It was at the level close to what the medical helicopters fly, however it was not on the normal flight path and was flying from a rural area that does not have regular flights. The red light flashed at irregular patterns. It flashed slow and would be completely dark between flashes, then would blink faster till it looked as if it was a strobe, then slow again. I recorded the light from inside and outside my patrol car. There was no sound with it. It appeared to be only 1 to 1.5 miles away. from west to eas! t it took the light approx. 3 min to cover my full field of view. I then attempted to follow its path however in the time it took me to drive approx. 1 mile to an open view area, the light had traveled a significant distance and I had trouble following it. There are no regular flights of any aircraft in the area. There was not emergencies that required a medical helicopter in the area. It did not have the FAA lights.

West Richland, WA
Driving down keene in west richland facing Rattlesnake mountain. I observed a metallic flash in the sky, almost as if a light was shined on metal. There was no visible object in sky and it was a sunny day with no clouds. I asked my husband if he saw anything. We both observed it flash another 4 times before disappearing towards Hanford.

Olympia, WA
I was on my phone in bed when I noticed a flashing light coming from outside the window next to me. Immediately after the light, I heard a weird mechanical type of sound. Sounded like something grumbling or a cog in a machine moving. Both the flash and the sound lasted a second each. A few seconds later, another flash happened followed by that same mechanical sound. Both flashes occurred within around a 10 second period.

Mauritius, Mauritius
On Tuesday 02 February 2021, as my husband, my 4 years old son and I was swimming in the swimming pool at around 19 30, my attention was caught by a flash of light going swiftly in a horizontal line and disappeared mysteriously. It seized our attention for some 15 seconds. After that, there was no sign of it. Also, it was seen going from north to east direction.

Essex, IL
I am a low level government employee and I just made it to work and was about to park my car, I was waiting for a vehicle to move out of my parking spot, while waiting, there was a short flash of light that at first I ignored and played it off like it was lightening, then about 5 seconds later a bigger flash of light happened and I stuck my head out the window but I couldn't see a source, this one changed colors, blue, green, pink, white, maybe lasted for 5 to 10 seconds and was gone. My delivery driver was behind me so when she came in I asked her if she saw that? And I pointed to the sky and she said yes and told me at first she thought it was lightening also, I needed her to verify that I was not crazy!!! Neither of us can figure out what the source was and I figured I should report it.

Belleville, ON · Canada
Sometime between 23:00-23:59 I went outside for a smoke and looking South to SSW over the Bay and very low in the sky, I saw what looked almost like green to greenish blue scattered aurora borealis-looking blobs about the size in total of what'd amount to a small recreational boat, 3 to 4 of them in an almost diamond formation, each blob (btwn an orb and a disk, blurry edges) flashed in the same spot around 3 times each lasting about 3-5 seconds per flash and not in unison, and by the time I was intensely focused on it wondering what the heck it was (over the span of about 1 minute) they then disappeared and didn't reappear for the duration of my cigarette. It was about a pinky finger width up from the top of the tree horizon across the bay from me but it was between Belleville and Prince Edward County. It was silent, there was no noise at all unlike the hospital helicopter or aircraft I often see from Airforce Base. I haven't seen anything like that before actually, I'm not someone who writes these things ever, and have lived here 5+ years.

Virginia City, NV
Between kids looking into the scope, I looked into the eyepiece to verify that Mars was centered in the view and saw what looked like a satellite pass through the field of view - not too unusual but rare. The little girl asked me "which one are we looking at?" I looked up from the scope to show her Mars but there were two VERY bright lights south of Mars by about 2 degrees and separated by about 1 arc minute. They persisted about 20 to 25 seconds and faded out. There was no discernible motion to them. I pointed the scope to where they had been and searched but saw nothing but stars. No planes in that area, no other unusual lights. We watched that area for about 10 more minutes but nothing else was observed.

Sinking Springs, PA
Early in the am on night shift, I saw a bright green ball of light that looked like it was falling to earth. I do not think it looked like a falling star or meteor. It lasted a second or two and was gone. Near route 422 Sinking Springs, PA.
