On Thursday, November 6th, 2023, I was asleep around 11:00 pm when I was awakened, unknown if this event is what woke me up. Because I was awakened, I went to the restroom, which is connected to my bedroom. The toilet in the bathroom has a window that is able to see an open field, my driveway, the main road, the house next door, and the construction site that is in front of my house. While using the restroom, I noticed what I thought to be movement at the construction site, which is lit up by a pole light. Because my phone camera is better than my eyes, I went to go get my phone that was sitting beside my bed. I came back into the toilet area and started recording the construction area in case there was actually something there that I couldn’t see or in case there was some vandalism going on, which I would check with the site manager in the morning. (Video #1 - 6:21 minutes). Meanwhile, on the northern, left side of my bathroom window these purple orb lights started going off and rotating in a circular motion. There were 3-4 in a cluster, plus 1 in the sky. These purple lights would actually black out and disappear, but then when they would reappear, there would be a fewer number of them, and they would be split apart and closer to my camera. By the time the video is over, you can see these purple, orb-like lights actually shooting electricity between them, almost like sharing energy in order to maintain its presence. Once the lights have narrowed down to only two existing lights, you can see that the purple lights turn to white and then there is a single red light. Eventually, you can see that these lights disappear altogether into the pitch blackness of the night into the same direction that they came from. (Video #2 - 10:19). I have contacted the local police department and the local FAA office, which tell me that these two videos should be reported to you in particular because they are unaware of any device that matches this criteria. They have these videos sent to them through email.

Had arrived outside my home at roughly 8:26 or 8:27pm on November the 5th, 2023. I had parked my car in the street, with the driver's side facing South. I had gathered my things and stepped outside my vehicle. When I closed the door, I had been facing south. A single, large orb of white light was spotted in the Southeast, above a neighbor's house. It appeared to be stationary. The orb then began to travel east, accelerating as it did. The object then made a fish hook maneuver down and then towards the West before vanishing from sight. There were no other witnesses present, and the entire event lasted less than a minute in length. Other than the sight of the object and the fish hook path it took, nothing else was deemed unusual. Observer is a white male, in his early 30s. Does not have superstitious or supernatural proclivities. Has observed meteorological phenomenon in area before; including comets, meteor showers, and a shooting star. There are also several airports in the region, as well an FAA tech center. There is also occasional air traffic from Coast Guard aircraft.

On Sunday, November 5, 2023, at 6:20 pm (pst), I was about to make a left turn from a busy strip mall parking lot onto a residential street in a neighborhood that is located in the middle of San Diego, California. When I turned my head to see if the road was clear, I noticed what appeared to be 5 bright white shining lights over to my left approximately 720 feet above my head. At first, I thought they were street lights. When I quickly realized they were not, I reached for my phone that had been setting in the console next to me and I snapped photos. These orb like objects didn't move. Nor did they didn't emit sound, or beams of light. I sat staring at them for a minute or three as they continued hovering motionless above my head. I looked around and I yelled out my window to a couple who were standing at their car, 'do you see that?' and 'hello, anybody see what's going on over here?' The people were oblivious to everything going on around them. The two drunk individuals that could be heard screaming at each other from across the parking lot didn't see the orbs either. Neither did the person I just cut off to snap photos. I thought I was the only one who could see them. After reading some of the posts here on this site, I discovered I am not the only one to have witnessed this fascinating phenomena. Just 9 days before, on October 27, 2023, a woman who lives not more than 3 miles from where I was saw the orbs, witnessed the same thing. Although, the details of what she saw weren't exactly the same as what I had seen, it was close enough. She saw the orbs at around the same time as I had seen them (around 6:20 pm pst). She counted 5 orbs hovering above in the night sky, too. When I drove a block closer to where the orbs were hovering, They disappeared without a trace. In a blink of an eye, they were gone. I am left with wonder. Was it 5 orbs that I saw in the night sky or was it 1 extremely large craft in the shape of a triangle?

Driving down the highway in the middle of the night I was the only one on the road. A large orb of light appeared in the sky to my left and was moving at an insanely fast speed in the same direction as me. It stopped in midair and stayed still for a second before turning to the right and continued on extremely fast without having to build speed. Was out of view after another 5 seconds.

I've noticed this bright weird orb in the sky off and on for the last month. When I look st it through my binoculars, it seems to be alive. It's definitely not a star or a drone or an airplane or helicopter. It's something I've never seen before. It looks like a puffer fish and it moves in the sky at night.

We stepped outside to look for a plane that just flew overhead to get a closer look, when my partner pointed at something else. In the distance, higher up in the sky away from this plane was what looked like a red flashing light over the military base but way up. I considered for a moment that it could be a hot air balloon spinning and catching the sun and flashing when the fire flashed, but it was moving way too fast to be a hot air balloon. It did look about the shape of a hot air balloon and even between flashes it appeared red but it had way too much altitude and was traveling too quickly. Then it changed directions, more than once over the course of several minutes, continuing to intermittently flash a bright red light. My partner says he could see almost a red trail when the red flashes ocurred. The air around the object as well appeared slightly distorted, like when you see heat waves coming off a vehicle during the summer and it distorts the look of the air near it. My partner says he saw what he thinks a sonic boom would do to the air. It grew further away until finally clouds were in the way and we could no longer see it. Now we are watching a bunch of airplanes leave trails that are becoming long clouds and covering this previously beautiful clear blue sky.

First noticed in the sky as it was shiny and not moving. No chemtrails like 3 other high altitude airplanes in the sky at the time. Mentioned to other parents. Took 3 pictures roughly 30 seconds apart until it disappeared from view keeping the same plane in view for correlation. Best view is in first picture where the shape can be discerned well.

We have been seeing a white dot kn the sky approximately at sunrise everyday, whenever it is dark or dim out. It is stationary, doesn’t twinkle or flicker, and is in the exact same spot everyday. A thin shell also appears on the ”corona” of the object. On November 14th and 4th, the object moved southeast, but not too much. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

My husband and I were driving back home on I43 near the exit for 23 when my husband got my attention to an object that was a sphere and silver and shiny, had to be of decent size in the sky. After a minute 1 round light turned on that was white in color, for a few seconds we lost site of the image and when we seen it the sphere was entirely black and going behind a cloud until it was gone. Was moving slowly, then would hover for a few seconds. It just vanished. Watched for it on 23 and seen nothing more.

Curtains were open, blue object had no sound and hoovered long enough to flash me with white beam through window, then floated away. It was very late at night. Will take lie detector test. Other things have been happening too, since the incident. I have audio I'd like someone to hear.

My son says Mom, what’s that and I look up to see about 7 round white orb looking objects traveling in a straight line formation but, as they approach the big dipper "handle", they changed formation into almost a V-shape, and they disappeared. No noise, no wings, no smoke. I tried to get my phone one but, they were gone. It would be easier to draw a picture of what I saw to explain it better. I tried to check satellite websites for any launches (I've seen the satellites in the sky when they launch, and it was nothing like that). I tried to check for any possible military training because we live next to a small coast guard base and 3hrs away from Joint Base Lewis McCord military base but, I couldn't find anything saying that they had training that night. Also, I've seen/heard a lot of military aircraft fly by, and these were completely silent. If I wasn't looking up, I would have completely missed them. The only noise was from other people on the street saying, “Oh my god, what is that!”. I waited to report this because I assumed an article would come out saying they had satellites, trainings, or something to explain what I saw. Obviously, I'm no expert but, I know what I saw. It's been a week and I'm still checking for more information. I'm sure you have way more resources than I do to confirm any sort of explanation and I would love to learn your conclusion! *It's not letting me upload my video or picture. I can provide this if this gets investigated. Thank you for your time.

Myself, my husband, and a friend saw a hazy light moving through the sky at high speed. It started mid sky moving toward the horizon. The light at its core appeared to turn occasionally but the haziness around it never faded. At about 25 degrees in the sky, it released a puff smoke but in front of it, not behind it. The puff of smoke turned into a massive smoke ring which it then proceeded to move through. Near the horizon, maybe 10 degrees it completely disappeared. It didn't fade out, was just gone. It was one light, white, with a bright light at the center. The stars were perfectly clear which is why the hazy light stood out. Planes and satellites were also viewable and perfectly clear. I've attached a video and you can even see the stars and the difference. My husband unfortunately stopped recording right before it released the smoke. [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Probable]

The object was a very prominent pure white orb with a contiguous white halo and a brighter circular center about one tenth its overall diameter. It was seen for about five minutes traveling through a clear dark sky prior to the moon rising. The object, including its halo, was about the diameter of the mid-day sun. It was traveling at a constant pace from West to East approximately 70 degrees up from the southwest horizon. The object appeared to be within the atmosphere. An approximation of its size would depend on its altitude but it was far larger than a commercial aircraft, satellite, surveillance balloon or meteorite. An approximation of its speed would also depend on its altitude. If it was flying at 30,000 feet I would approximate its speed as twice to three times that of a commercial jet or military transport. If it was in orbit it would be traveling about the speed of a satellite. The speed, altitude and trajectory did not change during our observation of its path. Additionally, there was a narrow diagonal, linear white light, separate but in close proximity to the orb, emerging upward at about 1:00 to 2:00 and about equal in length to the diameter of the orb including its halo. No sound was heard during its passage. The vertical linear "tail" appeared to move to a position of about 11:00 and separate from the orb slightly as the orb traveled toward the mountain horizon to the East. Remarkably, as the orb approached the mountain horizon in the East-Southeast a three dimensional conical vaporous light field emerged from the orb with its small base located at about the orb's 8:00 position. The conical field rapidly grew spreading downward and to the left lasting five to ten seconds before it rapidly dissipated. I would approximate that the maximum length of the cone was about 30 times the diameter of the orb and its diameter at the large end of the cone about twenty times the diameter of the orb.

I was on my outside deck setting up my telescope. I do astrophotography. Facing S, I looked up and noticed this Fuzzy Soft White light moving E then SE for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Not one cloud in the sky. This is the second time I have seen the same object in the same or close location. The second time I had my wife as a witness. The first time I saw it, about 2 weeks prior, it only lasted about 5 seconds and disappeared. I couldn’t believe what I had just seen. The sky’s were totally clear except for the far E. The object appeared as though it was behind a cloud bank, maybe trying to cloak itself to keep from being identified. We have dozens of planes flying each night close to our house and this was no plane, not even close. It was about about the size of a dime or penny held at arms length.

I was standing in front of my house looking up through the oak trees that line the street. I was looking up through the branches on a sunny day with the sun being blocked out by the branches. I was watching pollen, bugs, spider webs, and other Earthly objects moving through the trees. I noticed a white orb moving in a llinear line going from south to north but changing path from flying straith to erratic to stoping and changing directions and moving in ways that none of the other objects I had been watching for ten minutes by the trees was. This ggot my attention so I began to watch just this object (it was near the sun so it was hard to observe without the the tree obscuring the sun. The object stopped as if it new I could see it and I was trying to ascertain the distance to the object (former military with the Cav scouts so I am good at ffiguring out how far away something is) the object imploded on itself and disappeared right before my eyes. The object never mad a sound or left any sort of contrail. The object was moving behind everything else that I was watching.

We saw one orb appear at what seems a very high altitude followed by another orb appear in the blue of the sky. There were no flashing lights however the color changed from white to pinkish red then slowly moved until out of sight.

My son witnessed a black sphere or orb flying in a solid path over trees over our yard. It is a windy day and it was not a balloon swaying in breeze. It kept a direct path and speed without deviation. Seems to have a faint white sphere around object and put out a pulse shockwave around it twice in sequence as it traveled . Object flashed a sort of shockwave sphere around it not into the entire sky.

Object moved slowly to the north east direction. Object made no sound had no trail and promptly disappeared before my eyes. Extremely bright, the size was slightly smaller than a basket ball appeared to be perhaps a mile overhead. I am prior army and have never seen anything like it. Was not a typical meteor or fireball as some might try to say it was.

I was on my Tablet watching YouTube, when I went to open my window for som fresh air. I stopped to watch an airliner passing by since my home is under the traffic lane of an airport, so I like to plane watch frequently. I noticed what I originally thought to be another airliner, so I turned my attention to it. That was when I realized it did not have any navigational lights. I am familiar with what satellites look like and it did not match up. To add to that, there was a second orb which orbited around it as it moved across the sky. They made no noise, whereas I could clearly hear the airliner. Both of them were moving across the horizon at what I believe must have been supersonic speed. The entire sighting lasted approximately 2 minutes. During that time, crickets which were making noise outside had stopped entirely. Everything was dead quiet, I could hear my circulation.

I was out walking my dog standing in the dog park at 8:37 pm when I looked up towards northeast sky and saw three very bright objects hovering about 100 feet above one of the objects had a bright light coming from it for about a minute or so these three objects were stationary no sound no exhaust I took a pic with my phone I could not get a video because I had my dog in a leash pulling but I did get one good picture now after a minutes or so the objects moved silently northwest with no sound nothing omitting from the objects at first they were just moving along slowly if you look at the pic on of the objects had a light coming from it as if it was looking for something the objects were there on second and gone the next just gone all of em it was amazing I can not believe what I saw when I got home I was looking at the pic and if you look closely at the pic between 2 of the objects you can see a different object that I did not see with a naked eye this was a incredible experience they were not airplanes or drones or helicopters I am 100 percent sure of what I saw

San Diego, CA
At around 6:46p PST, I was finishing up walking my dog near the gated entrance of our building on a cul du sac in Banker's Hill, San Diego. I turned to walk towards the gate, facing southwest towards San Diego Harbor and noticed what appeared to be a meteor falling in the sky. It was very bright and falling more slowly than I would have imagined a meteor to fall and I kept staring at it in awe as it continued its decent in the nights sky. I had watched for about 30 seconds and yelled to my neighbor who was also walking her dog to look up in the sky. She asked, "what is that?" and I began filming as best I could. The tail of fire had begun to descend beyond my line of sight due to the tree line ahead but just as it neared the tops of the trees, the fire separated out into 5 rays of falling light and then began moving into a more horizontal formation which clearly became 5 separate hovering orbs of light. 4 of the orbs began moving west across the harbor and 1 orb can be seen moving west and then shifting towards the east. I ran down the street to get to a place with an unobstructed view of the harbor and only one orb remained for a brief moment before disappearing towards the south. I have captured 2 videos depicting what I saw. The first video is the very tail end of the meteor like fiery formation falling from the sky and you can see it separate out into 5 separate lines. The next video captures the 5 hovering orbs, right above the tree line as it began to descend lower over the harbor and then finally disappear. In the first video, you see the fire/light and hear my neighbor exclaim, "Okay...it's breaking up now." In the second video, it immediately starts with showing the 5 separate orbs and then I ran down the street and the video is poor but when you get to the last 00:30 seconds left you see one remaining orb over the harbor and I exclaim, "there it is" and then it quickly disappears.
