Grand Rapids, MI
Saw a single object moving at what seemed normal high elevation plane speed, but it had no normal plane sound, contrail, and seemed lower than normal planes. After about a minute, another one appeared flying closer than I've ever seen a plane fly to another plane. It didn't come up to it, rather it just seemed to materialize right next to it. The new one matched speed exactly, both going Easterly direction. They appeared white and oval, but they were far off so cannot confirm their shape. They did match though. It was a bright sunny day.

White tick tack shaped object. 2 in close proximity moving quicker than airplane. Have video and photos. One seems to disappear into thin air. Attached are Live Photos and video on iPhone. Be aware they are hard to spot, you have to zoom in and then u can see them clear as day. The Live Photo will show it disappear into thin air. I have more photos, but only 4 can be uploaded here.

Wake Forrest, NC
A clear day facing North East standing outside my car at the park grabbing my camera to go walking like always I look up and there's something that's bright white and from a distance I was gonna say a star but it was still daylight it kind of looked more oval shaped so I knew it wasn't a plane or satellite because it just hovered in the same spot, adjusted my camera to zoom in snapped a photo told my buddy to get out the car and he couldn't see it with his own eyes (he might have bad eye sight we don't know), I watched it with my eyes for a second trying to point it to him, but then I tried to fire off a second and third shot or get video, but then from visible eyesight you no longer could see it so I just snapped the sky in relation to where I was to paint a better picture of the location and height in these photos of the sky after, you can see in the top right still something is there where the craft was. Photos taken on a cannon powershot sx410 is, settings used ISO 1600, 16:9, auto focus was on, if it stayed longer definitely would have changed settings for more shots.

Carlsbad, CA
On the morning of July 28th 2023, I was at my work(construction) and knoticed a bright starlike object in the clear blue sky. I knew it couldn't have been a plane it was much to big and was self illuminating est 10 thousand ft. I pulled out my phone immediately zoomed in about 40x and snapped 1 photo. I was stunned upon further review if the photo there was an entire fleet following the object. The fleet was invisible to my eye my phone somehow picked them up. I have an android s21 ultra with 100x zoom. I'll let the picture speak for itself it's unbelievable. If that's not enough on aug 16 2023 in knowticed (clear blue skies) a set of contrails that looked to close to be normal. I snapped a picture and again was shocked what seen what eyes couldn't. Look at the objects on the far left of the photos those are ones I couldn't see.

While floating in the pool we saw silver oval-shaped object flying west to east, with no sound, and faster than an airplane but not so fast we couldn't track it for a few seconds. I saw it more clearly through my sunglasses.

Ouray, CO
I was back in Ouray Sunday evening July 23rd. Monday morning, my husband & I were closing the 3rd Floor balcony door s facing toward Telluride to the West & the upper windows facing South to seal in the cooler air against the heat without AC. I saw the whitish, squashed-football craft, the same type as I saw in Texas, June 6th, silently making its way from the West to the East until it disappeared over the Eastern Ridgeline towards Cascade Falls. I pointed it out to my husband , then went to the next Southern Window to watch it pass out of view over the East Ridgeline about 60-80 degrees above ground. It surprised me that it was similar to the silent Oval craft I saw in Texas June 6. The skin of the craft was whitish, almost translucent & refracted or reflected the light. It would have blended in with clouds but we have 300 days of sunshine in Ouray & the summer monsoons happen normally between 2-4 pm, so they're were no clouds to hide behind. It took about 38 seconds to travel 40 degrees across the sky at a silent, steady pace. I have seen the jet fighters shoot the Narrow Ouray Canyon on 4th of July from South to North & every sound echoes & reverberates through the Ouray canyon. The commercial flights from south to north to the Montrose airport similarly intensify any engine noise but this was completely silent as it passed over. There were no lights there were no means of propulsion visible just a whitish oval craft traveling from west to east & then out of sight over the peak where the Perimeter Trail passes by Cascade Falls toward the South. I made this report because this was the 2nd time in 6 weeks, 937 miles apart I saw this same, silent, whitish, squashed-football craft: in June in Texas & in July in Colorado. I would very much like to know if others are seeing this craft in the daytime, where else it is sighted, how large it is & how fast it travels. I can draw some images of the two sightings but only in Texas are there water towers & other landmarks to try& garage distance/ size. Maybe it's like when you get a certain make and color of car then you seem to see those everywhere. I have only ever seen craft at night that I thought were planes in Houston until it made 90 degree at speed. I saw a 2-3, silent, low-flying orangish lights in the winter sky in Prescott Arizona in 2022 near Granite Mountain heading South to Downtown Prescott. These 2 sightings of daytime craft were likely because I paid more attention to the daytime sky since the Chinese Spy Balloon was in the news. In Arizona, my former HotShot Wildland FireFighter Friends spoke of unusual lights From the Superstition Mtns to the Coconino Forest from Snowflake to Flagstaff & how the Natives believe in Star People. People with ranches in that area have seen weird lights & knew+believed Travis Walton. My stephenville ranching relatives reported seeing odd behaving lights decades before Former President Bush had a no-fly zone around the Crawford Ranch. My father saw an odd craft in rural Blanco Texas while hunting in the late 1960s. My husband agrees what we saw was not a known aircraft but refuses to speculate on what it exactly was either time we witnessed it in Texas or Colorado. Has the crow flies Prescott Arizona is not very far from Sedona & just a short drive to Prescott valley where the Phoenix lights of 1977 were first spotted in Arizona as they headed south to PHX. In Ouray we have spent many hours at night , winter & summer sitting in the City Hot Springs seeing the bright Milky Way & many shooting stars. In Prescott & Texas, we watch for the Elon's satellite launches & space station flyovers. We know many of the night paths of satellites & commercial flyers. We watch the Orionids & Leonid Meteor Showers each summer but neither of us or our contractor had seen daylight craft flying silently until June in Texas or July in Colorado. I did not post on Nextdoor like I did in Prescott for the nighttime orangish lights. Others saw an orange-lit çraft fly low over their homes including an outdoor party. I like this anonymous forum. I hope to get answers about these craft.

Newcastle, WA
Saw a Large black oval that I thought was a helicopter while driving south bound on I405 above Newcastle. It was large enough to be a helicopter, but the silhouette was smooth, and on the left side there was a green blinking light. It was not moving, and it was completely silent, and stayed above in the air in one spot the entire time I passed by it.

I noticed a light that disappeared then reappeared before disappearing again. It appeared to be a star at first which seemed odd. I noticed many aircraft flying in that direction following.

UFO came from the West traveling extremely fast. It was erratic and changed direction from ascending to descending in a matter of seconds. Looks like it disappeared then came back before disappearing to the NE.

Tremonton, CA
In the span of about seven minutes, I witnessed a light appearing in the shape of tic-tac, hovering for several minutes. It suddenly took a sharp turn and descended quickly at a 45 degree. After nearly losing sight of it behind the mountain, it split in three sections and quickly ascended back along the same angle. The tic-tac went back where had been, hovered a couple minutes, then quickly disappeared. A minute later, another section suddenly disappeared. The third section then disappeared behind the mountain. These pics and videos are in chronological order. (Unfortunately, when it first descended, I forgot to push therecord button.)

Singaraja, BALI · Indonesia
Saturday, June 15, 2023, around 17:10 WITA in Bali. As I finished swimming at the beach, I bought some meatballs and sat down in the beach sand. Unaware, I looked up and saw an object flying very high. It had a bit of shine, like light was piercing through it (transparent), but it was still visible due to light refraction. I observed this object flying for about 1 minute and then it suddenly disappeared without leaving any trace. I tried to continue watching, but the object had completely vanished. I am a person who doesn't believe in such things until I see them with my own eyes. I didn't manage to capture it with my camera, as I didn't want to lose focus on the object and my mobile phone camera was not good enough to photograph it. I really love space, that's why I always observe the sky. Sorry for using Indonesian language to explain the situation. Original report in Indonesian: benda bercahaya terbang sangat tinngi, dan hilang tiba-tiba tanpa ada jejak. Saya cek di flight radar tidak ada pesawat di dekat saya Sabtu, 15 juni 2023, sekitar jam 17:10 WITA Bali, Saat saya selesai mandi di pantai, saya membeli bakso, dan saya duduk di pasir pantai, tanpa sadar saya menengok ke atas, dan saya melihat objek yang terbang sangat tinggi dan sedikit berkilau seperti cahaya menembus objek tersebut (transparan) tapi tetap terlihat karena pembiasan cahaya, saya mengamati objek tersebut terbang kurang lebih 1 menit dan objek tersebut hilang tiba-tiba tanpa meninggalkan jejak, saya mencoba memperhatikan terus tapi objek tersebut sepenuhnya hilang. Saya adalah manusia yang tidak pernahmempercayai hal-hal seperti ini sampai saya belum melihat dengan mata kepala saya sendiri. Saya tidak sempat mengabadikan dengan kamera, karena tidak mau saya menghilangkan fokus ke benda tersebut dan kamera HP saya juga kurang bagus untuk memotret benda tersebut. Saya sangat menyukai angkasa itulah alasan saya selalu memperhatikan langit. Sorry I using indonesia language to explain the situation

Le 13 juillet 2023 en soirée, un habitant de Toulouse (31) est à l'extérieur devant son immeuble, en pleine conversation téléphonique, lorsqu'il aperçoit un PAN dans le ciel. Il réalise à cette occasion deux photographies et une vidéo de l'observation. Le cas présente une bonne consistance* selon les critères du GEIPAN (témoin unique, photos et vidéo du PAN ayant pu être exploitées pour l’analyse). Le PAN observé s’avère être, après enquête, un avion de ligne (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). Cette conclusion s’appuie sur les éléments suivants : - Forme allongée typique de la forme du fuselage d’un avion - La couleur blanc/gris est également cohérente avec celle de la carlingue éclairée par les rayons du soleil couchant. - Le déplacement rectiligne à vitesse constante constitue également un élément très cohérent pour étayer cette hypothèse. Nous avons pu, par ailleurs, expliquer certaines étrangetés : - L'absence de bruit peut s'expliquer par l'éloignement de l'appareil (plus de 30 km) ainsi que par le bruit ambiant de la circulation aux alentours du témoin lors de l'observation. - L'invisibilité des ailes de l'avion peut être attribuée à une combinaison de facteurs, notamment la distance d'observation, qui engendre un angle de visibilité très réduit, un angle d'observation de 35°, les effets de diffusion atmosphérique, ainsi que la géométrie de l'appareil, favorisant les réflexions sur les surfaces circulaires les plus étendues, telles que le fuselage. L’absence de trainée de condensation est tout à fait possible, pour peu que les conditions de température et d’humidité prévalant à l’altitude à laquelle se trouve l’avion soient favorables ; elles n’ont toutefois pas pu être déterminées. Une reconstitution du trafic aérien révèle que deux avions de ligne ont traversé l'axe d'observation au moment de l'observation. L'analyse réalisée sur Google Earth, couplée aux données de vol de ces appareils, permet d'identifier le phénomène aérien non identifié (PAN) comme correspondant au vol EXS4LX. Le GEIPAN classe le cas en « A », observation d’un avion de ligne. *selon les critères du GEIPAN, la consistance est la quantité d’informations considérées comme fiables et objectivées, recueillies pour un témoignage. [GEIPAN classification A — Avion de ligne]

Conyers, GA
A oval shaped object with light surrounded it ((almost circulating)) appeared in the sky with no clear point of origin. It traveled in a straight line, unlike a comet, satellite or shooting star. After a few seconds it vanished without leaving a trace. No planes or satellites were visible at the time.

While scanning the area below the star Alberio in my telescope, I noticed a flash of light and then a smoke ring appeared and lasted a few seconds and faded out. The ring looked similar to the Ring Nebula, but with brighter blues. I was using a 12in Dob. With a 32mm wide-angle eyepiece. I have been observing the skies for over 60 years, and never saw anything like this. It was beautiful but strange

Noticed this bright UFO to the East, before it went behind a tree. It reappears and the moves weird. It started moving forward, then it went back to the tree then, moved NE. At one point the object looks to Hover before moving again.

Hurst, TX
Bright, glowing oval like object traveled North West to South East. No sound. I saw the object at about 8:32 pm July 7th 2023. My brain did not register what it was. I watched it for about 10 seconds. When I realized it was not anything I was familiar with I ran in my house to get my cell phone. By the time I got out the object was further up in the sky at 90° and moving south east. I tried to follow the object with my phone as best I could. No sound what so ever. I wonder if air traffic control picked it up but I do know any aircraft in the area did see it! But will they report it? The object was bright light, faint orange, peachy white.

The UFO was spotted in the N on 5 July 2023. The UFO acted oddly. At one point it descended, then curved upward, before descending again. It also appeared to hover.

From my back garden I noticed 2 or 3 lightning fast light moves of oval shapes. I assumed it was a light show but in my view the movement was too fast and as per video the object(s) appear to change shape.

I just got off from work, I went and out my daughter on our trampoline and went back around the house to my car till my daughter began to scream for me. I ran back over and she points up at this long white cylinder/ hammer shaped thing that is changing shapes and condensing and elongating till it condenses down and a spherical shaped ufo pops out. It hovered above us for a little while and then shot off and went somewhere just to come back and hover above us again and then shoots off again in the opposite direction. It was white, had no visible markings, no sound, no exhaust, and had some type of force field around it. The drawing I made is a very crude drawing of how the portal looked.

Outside looking at the sky, with a naked eye the object originally appeared circular then changed form to what appeared tic tac shaped (oblong) and then I started recording what was seen. A photo my daughter snapped on her phone, while I was videoing. In her picture, when zoomed in on, it appeared triangular. An additional object was then seen in our sky’s path but distant from the 1st object and they were not close enough to one another to include both in a shot together. When I tried to take another video of the 2nd object, they both seemed to have disappeared. (2 video clips available. Only one was appropriate size to submit)
