I sit on my balcony every night. This night I am staring at a star and I see movement to the left of the sky. I look at it, and it continues to shoot past my line of vision. I track it with my eyes, it’s going fast and it looks like it’s not trying to be seen but failing to do so in this short time. The craft looked like an almost flat rectangle, it may have had some type of circular lights at the bottom I’m not 100% sure if these were specifically “lights”. It rocks weirdly and then disappears as I am still looking at it. It was as if it was trying to blend in the entire time, but I ended up seeing it anyway! I really wish it would’ve stayed longer so I could have gotten some evidence, I literally had my phone in my hand listening to music. It’s all I can think about these days and I need to tell someone and not sound crazy, so I hope this information helps with something, anything. I just need to tell someone.

I was traveling west on Highland Ave to pick up our dog’s arthritis medication and saw coming out of the cloudy sky a dark gray aircraft that resembled a large bus due to its rectangular shape and it was traveling north to south. I thought is this a blimp ? Realizing that I have never seen a rectangular blimp in my life. This flying object was no aircraft I was familiar with. It seemed to be flying faster than a blimp yet slower than a plane. I can’t say how far the objects distance was from me but it wasn’t very high in the sky. I pulled into the veterinarians office parking lot in hopes of capturing a video or picture but the object was now hidden behind large Perris Hill Park Trees. I have been searching google to see if any one else witnessed this UFO here in San Bernardino California but there is no reports so far. I know I wasn’t the only person to see this UFO. I anticipate some sort of reports to confirm that there was definitely a strange flying object in our skies!!

Spotted the object in the sky, seemed distant based on air particulate. It was clearly rotating. I watched it for a minute or two until I realized I couldn't identify it. I realized it probably wasn't a bird or aircraft. I then grabbed my phone and snapped 3 zoomed photos. Phone is a Samsung S10+, and photos include a 2 second motion video. Uploading zoomed screen captures and zoomed video captures. I think you can make out the rotation and wobble. Original media can be made available on request.

Girlfriend and I were sitting on the deck, i was watching hawks in the sky to just above but to the south. In the background i saw an object appear from above the trees to the west, flying between 300-400 feet, about 300 yards to the south. I pointed it out to my girlfriend, who confirmed what i saw. It was mostly grey, with some black on top. It was about the size and sort of the shape of a subaru outback, without the whole front, hood and everything, maybe a bit wider. It was completely silent, had no wings, no props. It held an extremely steady flight, no wavering, very consistent.. it flew to the east, maintaining speed and altitude, eventually we couldn't see it anymore.

Humming sound woke me up and I laid there and tried to figure out what it was. I got up and looked out the window and put my face against the window to see if it was vibrating and when I looked back up to the sky, I saw this object that was kind of rectangle-shaped but oddly it looked like a sailboat with red lights around it. It was a pretty big object. By the way, even as far away as it was, when it disappeared from my site a few seconds later, the humming stopped. I was so shocked for a few seconds I couldn't move and I didn't have enough time to grab my camera off my nightstand to take a picture. I couldn't go back to sleep the rest of the night and felt like I needed to tell somebody about this. I did check the flight radar app on my phone to see if any airplanes or helicopters were in the vicinity of our home and there was none... maybe a small training plane from the naval air station but nothing that was near the size of what I saw. I would like to know what it was, if you could tell me.

Newberg, OR
It was a clear dark moonless night with a full complement of stars. We live on an 8-acre rectangular property with an old abandoned house about ¼ of the way up the property, a new house we built about 1/2-way up the property, and another 4 acres of woods at the top of the property, which slopes upward most of the way. I went to check the mail and was walking up the driveway and was in front of the old abandoned house when I realized that something was blocking out the stars above me. It was a rectangular-shaped craft about three times as long as it was wide, and it was just hovering there with what I perceived to be its “nose” pointing due east. There was a red light and a blue light visible on the bottom of the craft; not prominent but large enough to be easily seen. It also had what looked like two “headlights” on the nose of the craft. They reminded me of headlights because they emitted a clear white light such as headlights emit. I recall that I wasn't at all afraid, just intensely curious about what it could be. I was standing directly under it and it seemed immense, yet there was absolutely no sound coming from it. It just hovered there. We have tall fir trees around our property, which the craft was about 50' above, so I guesstimate that it was probably about 300' in the air. I stood there taking in the sight for what seemed like a very long time, but in reality it was probably only about five minutes. Then, suddenly, it started moving slowly eastward and only seconds later it accelerated so fast that there was a “whoosh” and...it was gone. It just disappeared from view. I am a white male who was 75 years old at the time of the sighting. I have a double degree in economics and business management, and worked in management at not-for-profit organizations and the United Way for most of my business career. I officially retired about five years ago, but still help friends and family with accounting and business-related issues. My wife is an OB/GYN Nurse Practitioner who is five years younger than me. She had her own practice for many years and also worked under contract with medical clinics as an Independent Practitioner. We have lived in the Newberg, OR are since 1996 and on this property since 2004.

The ‘UFO’ WAS HUGE. It was not a plane nor a jet of any sort. It took up a good portion of my peripheral vision and had lights in the front and back of its structure.

Cayo Costa state park/ gulf of mexico, FL
We were anchored in our boat and set up for the evening. I was idly watching airliners now and then come and go, not many but easily known by landing lights and strobes. I am an ex pilot and familiar with this. I kept noticing this row of lights coming slowly towards us at a lower altitude than commercial craft, in fact it's slowness is what got my attention. Finally I noticed it had become stationary. The night was dark with mild humidly which allowed me to then notice a light emitting out of what you may describe as wings, 90 degree to the craft. Primarily aiming towards us was a light or lights, one in the middle and others further out. Looking at it with binocs they seemed to be rainbow colors other then primary white.The craft now just set there near our boat and I judged it to be quite large. After 20 minutes or so, due to the lights shining out into the atmosphere which glowed somewhat like a flashlight in the humidity, I could see a wobble as though it were balanced with whatever kept it afloat was aimed downward like a gravity cancellation device, certainly not blades or jets for lit was completely silent .This wobble is reported by other observers in other circumstances from what I have read. A few times it was very pronounced. Nothing further happened for almost an hour. I did take a couple shots with my iPhone, not telephoto because I expected it not to take a good picture, but did it at the urging of my daughter whom was in Michigan, We became bored and finally decided to turn in for the night when I took another look around and found another airline rapidly coming into our area, in fact way too fast for an airliner which prompted me to take a closer look. As it got closer, It took a tight right turn, almost 90 degrees and stopped to my right of craft number 1. Immedietly we noticed this was a copy of number one. Tailing close to number 2 was yet another which duplicated the flight pattern of of 2 and stopped. Both were lower than 1 and separated by a few miles. Number two then disappeared completely as though it went away or turned off its lights. Now we had in sight number 1 and 3 well separated. Number 3 then began ascending straight up at a fast speed, but easily followed. It disappeared above us in less than 45 seconds. A few clouds which were misty obscured some of the view, but we could still watch it. As soon as it was gone another came into the picture replacing its position and immediately ascended the same at number 3, this making it the last. After it went out of sight either number two re-appeared or we had number 5. Looking to the left at this point we noticed number one was gone, not sure if it turned off its lights or it ascended. Then the last one did as the others, ascended into space or the upper atmosphere. I am 83 years old, retired teacher and first responder. Having taught science and fine arts. I was fire and rescue for 28 years as well and built and flew my own airplanes along the way, not a nut case. Also over the many year starting in 1954 having seen a disc fly over then which I kept my mouth shut. Later I spent 6 years in the federal reserves, army. We also were very close to a very large craft which went nearly over us at key largo around 2000 when anchored there. Then were witnesses to a hugh light with a second showing after a short time in mid Florida when crossing fl. On the okechobee. This was to big we heard a captain commenting of seeing it from the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic, which impressed us. But then a few day later we saw a video of it from fort Meyers on Hard Copy, a tv show back then and I assume this is in some archives.

Multiple people saw this object and reported to police and news media. It was not connected by a wire to ground but moved parallel to ground. Hovered and then moved away. The witness followed up to indicate this was a 50ft solar balloon that escaped (maybe from local school). [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Certain]

I stopped at my mail box at the end of my street at the cul de sac. When I got out of my car I saw what I think was a rack of lights moving slowly down my street. They were white, did not blink or change color. The lights were no higher than a tree and could b clearly seen. When the lights saw me looking at them, they stopped and did not move or disappear. After awhile I went to my mailbox and the lights were gone when I turned to get back into my car. I did not see them in the sky. I drove home, about 6 houses away. I did not report this before because I thought the local police might think I was crazy. This is very rural GA.

San Dimas, CA
On March 26, 2023, I was traveling eastbound up a hill on Avenida Ladera in San Dimas, CA, just after 2:00 pm. The day was a clear, cloudless day. I was in a convertible with the top down so I could easily see high in the sky. I notice the waxing crescent moon and a very bright object that was as bright as Venus usually is in the evening sky. I knew I should not see a star or planet that brightly at that time of day so I pulled over to observe it. At first, the object appeared to be still but I realized it was moving slowly. It appeared as a single bright object but appeared to be a reflection rather than lights. I thought it might be a satellite but still was not sure. It was moving much slower than any satellite I have observed before, especially the ISS. I pulled out my phone to take some pictures of the object. I also took a picture of a passing jet, the moon, and tree as I was getting use to the setting on my phone camera. I zoomed in as far as the camera would allow me, stable my phone against the car, and took a picture. I then zoomed in on the object in the photo. The object appeared to be a rectangular object with a very bright reflection or light on it. I saw no appendages like solar panels or balloon. As I continued to observe the object it eventually lost brilliance and faded away, much like a satellite disappears into the darkness of the sky except it just disappeared. The object appeared to be travelling toward the west or west-southwest direction. My total observation time was approximately 4 minutes. The phone camera used was on a Samsung S23 Ultra with settings present in the meta-data of each picture. In one of the photos the object is about 1130 position relative to the moon. Another photo the object is at the 0930 position relative to the moon.

We were driving south down 99th Ave and I noticed the white square that was cloud-like with an orb nearby. We stopped the car on the Southeast Corner of 99th Ave. and Thunderbird and I took a picture. I wish I would have taken a Vid...the object turned around and I saw the side of it, which was grey. When it did that, it appeared that a smokey stream oozed out of the bottom of it. About a minute later it turned around again and it was fully visible as a white, cloud-like square. It started to move further away and shape shifted into a white circle. All the while this was happening, the white/silver orb was stationary and seemed to vanish when the square turned into a circle.

I live close to PDX airport. I was driving along 148th/Halsey and I thought I was seeing just a regular plane take a regular flight path to descend to the airport. All of a sudden I start thinking wow that’s a big plane. Like oddly wide for a plane and the lights were not those of a normal plane. So as I’m driving this object is coming closer and I’m starting to realize this ”thing” is not going to the airport. Mind you, I’m slowing down as this thing approaches me so I’m slowing down more to try to follow it and Within a matter of seconds this aircraft is close AND hovering just above some trees of this dead end street I turned down to try and record it…I’m CLEARLY seeing this rectangular object that can only be described as the shape of a suburban with moonbeams for headlights just hovering in the sky. Completely soundless. Absolutely no sounds came from this thing! There was even a man taking out his trash RIGHT UNDERNEATH THIS THING and he didn’t even notice a thing. So by this time I’ve stopped my vehicle in the middle of the road of this dead end street and I’m just watching this thing hover for like another 20 seconds while I’m messing with my phone to try to record this thing and it just silently takes off and disappears. When I was witnessing all this I got goose bumps all over my body and suddenly I felt overcome with terror. Even writing, thinking, or speaking of this event causes the goose bumps and feeling of being afraid. Like I saw something I should not have seen.

Lakewood / Golden, CO
Went to a restaurant in Lakewood, when I noticed an odd object in the sky as I approached the doors of restaurant. Studied it closely and noticed no gondola, so ruled out balloon. Color was black and rectangular in shape, ruling out weather balloon as well. No sound, but object appeared to be approximately 1/2 mile from me. Sky was clear, so I took two pictures with my cell phone as I watched it to the southwest of my position moving west. Sun was above me and to my left, not interferring with the photos. Snapped shots and returned to the restaurant.

I witnessed rectangular object hovering in the distance with blue, and possibly red lights, Southwest to me from my home in Kingston, New Hampshire. It was large and rectangular. I believe there were clouds that night, but there’s no question that I saw some thing peculiar in the sky.

I always look up, have had multiple UFO incidents over the last few years, but this one was rectangle, flying about 2000 feet, and had lights at both ends. It was slim in nature and was traveling rather slow, just cruising. I've witnessed two triangle-shaped crafts about three .months ago, and more earlier last year and the year before.

I am an amateur astronomer, I use a Sony DSC-HX400V 35mm for Moon shots. It zooms up to 100X optically, you can increase it to 200X digital. It's a pretty good camera. On Feb 8 I set up to take photos of the Moon. I turned it on and zoomed on the Moon until it nearly filled the camera's viewfinder, around 90X. At first I thought there was a black spot on the screen and touched it to wipe it off. Then I realized it was a black object between me and the Moon. I had the camera set on infinity, I got a very sharp image. It was cubicle, reminded me of our Moon landing vehicle back in the 60s except without legs. This object appeared to me to be in our atmosphere, probably the altitude of an airliner, and as large. It was moving upward at about a 75 degree angle. It was moving too slow to be an airliner, (which I have seen cross the Moon several times), and too steep a climb for a helicopter. I snapped the shutter, however I have a 3 second delay to allow the camera to settle, and by the time it snapped the object had passed into the darkness at about 2 o'clock. I am submitting a photo I took that night. I used a photo editor to insert the little black box to indicate the size of this object. It was a very brief sighting, but I got a sharp view of this object, it was not a plane or a helicopter.
