Two stargazers were drawn to one star in the night sky. Watched the star for 2 minutes, while it slowly became brighter and brighter eventually being brighter than any star, then suddenly it let out a bright flash, and then zoomed off in a straight line until out of sight. Some confusion whether it was the evening of September 2nd or September 3rd.

We (a young married couple) saw two motionless bright lights in the sky on our way home from a friend’s house. Even though the lights didn’t move like a plane, they were not stars. They were much too bright to be stars. After a while one turned to the east and started flying in that direction. After it had turned, we could see that it had 1 red and 2 green lights on either side. In the meantime the other light had begun to ascend and descend in elevation in an up and down motion. Eventually the second light also suddenly veered off to the east and revealed the same light pattern as the first. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

Liverpool, LIVERPOO · United Kingdom
Me and my girlfriend saw 3 bright white lights flash past so fast it looked like the light stretched. It flew past in a split second east of City Road in Walton at around 300ft heading southbound towards Liverpool. Sighting only lasted a split second but it looked as if I may have been triangular with the position of the lights, two at the back and one central slightly in front of the others which seemed brighter. No sound was heard.

I was star gazing in clear moonless sky approximately 3:30 am on Tuesday, 09/26/2023, northeast corner of Oregon, when craft appeared before me (following visual disturbance of some type), a large red "V" was on its underside, estimate the object was less than 500 ft above me, flew off almost directly overhead, completely silent, as it passed I felt sensation of a smooth "wave" pass over me, then craft moved off towards south eastern Washington state and out of my visual range.

Object looked close enough to identify with binoculars - shape unclear but did not look like a plane. I commented immediately and others began watching also. Moving more slowly than an aircraft. Travelling in a southerly direction but seemed to hover at times and change course. It had been large enough or close enough to be able to follow for some time but it suddenly disappeared whilst we were trying to find it to look through binoculars. Blue skies and very good visibility. Left no trail.

Phoenix, AZ
I live near central Phoenix. At 2:10 am I was looking south and saw something in the sky moving from West to East. It looked like it was near South Mountain. It was at the altitude a plane would fly. It was like a red, orange, and silver energy field propelling something forward. The front had a rainbow shape and every few seconds it would propel something forward and make a little ripple effect. I didn't see a definitive aircraft only this strange energy field. That's the best way to describe it. It didn't fade out, it just kept going. I didn't see any kind of fire, just this sparkly like energy field propelling something forward. My view was obstructed by a building so I didn't see it for long. It was big. It had to have been caught on camera. I'm surprised the news didn't report it, but they're controlled by the government so I understand. This was like nothing I have ever seen, and I've seen a lot living in Phoenix. This was not a human aircraft. It was not fireworks or a bomb or a meteor. This had to be some type of alien craft. Thank you for listening. Please contact me if you would like to speak to me.

I had an experience after this sighting. The person was dense . Hard to describe but was less dense than humans. He had on gear oddly similar to astronauts and has very human features. It came down through the ceiling and looked at me intensely in the face then I felt my cheek rubbed in a friendly manner and it left. The person is denser than humans. While it was the size of a man atleast 6'3 and 260 pounds it could technically stand on a branch and it wouldn't bend that's how light this person is . Left details out due to a few reasons since in the past I've experienced extremely severe targeting and mobbing extreme survilliance and harassment in the past which I've recorded police concealing . Since I've uploaded vids of my years of targeting state by state online I prefer to not share my location .

Sitting outside on a clear night, no clouds to be seen. Facing NW, watching a football game on TV when something bright caught my eye. I looked up and there was a bright light (no color) that looked like it was flying in a haze, like a cloud and it was coming in our direction. It kinda looked like a helicopter light, but it did a slight turn to the west and there were no beacon lights or sound. Shortly after it turned there was a poof before it, like a cloud and then it disappeared. While it was flying in our direction, we checked the flight tracker and there were no aircrafts transmitting at that time. I was with four other people who witnessed it with me. Video attached is not mine, but from another witness. Falcon 9 Starlink-101 (6-11) SpaceX SLC-40, Cape Canaveral SFS Florida, United States [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Probable]

Was sitting on the balcony having coffee. This object was flashing different colors and seemed to be changing shapes possibly. This stayed in one place for around 20 minutes. I had to go in to get ready for work, looked out the window and it was gone.

Got up for whatever reason i dont know, went out to the balcony, Look straight ahead and immediately seen green flashing light. It changed intensity and size. Then suddenly flew straight up, and then after moving a little bit maybe 30 feet to east horizontally and getting bigger again. It just suddenly took off fast. To the southeast towards dresden.

Just one object that seemed to stay in one position for a long period of time. The object appeared to have three lights that then changed into one light. The colour of the lights were white. The oblect appeared to be very far away so I had trouble trying to zoom in with my camera phone and keep my hand steady at the same time. I did see commercial aircraft in the area at the same time. The object did seem to disappear after 15 mins, but I did see some could cover in the area. If I was honest when I did see an object in the same area again (around 20 mins later) and I could see that it looked like a star, but the object I was watching didn't look anything like a star? I hope I haven't wasted anyones time, this just seemed very odd in the night sky. The photo looks rubbish if I was honest, but it's the best I got, but maybe just a planet and some coulds playing tricks with my eyes?

I was outside with my dog and herd a loud noise in the sky. When I looked up I saw 4 large disk spinning. Each disk was a different color. Blue, red, white. I never could make out what was above the disk. It flew over my house. I called for my 2 boys to come outside and see it. I thought it left but it flew back over my house again. As it was getting farther away we saw that things were shooting out of it. It looked like stars with blinking lights on each one. Then there was a big flash of light and that 4 disc thing was gone but all the blinking things that looked like stars were left behind. Then the whole sky filled with these blinking things . They were in groups of 3 in a boomerang formation. I counted over 13 sets of 3. I went in the house because my children were scared. After I calmed them down and went back outside all the blinking things were gone

Hi my name is (name deleted) I live in a small town of Forks Washington tonight 09/15/2023 at approximately 10:40pm it was a completely clear night here as I was standing out in my driveway with my mother we were looking up at the stars in the sky as we focus more clearly we were following certain stars that’s we’re moving like we have seen a bunch of times. I locked onto one and was following it trying to show my mom. Out of nowhere for a split second I seen something I can only describe as a gray sphere with two wings no lights no sound but a bright gray color shooting across the sky heading north my eyes barely caught it and the hair on my arms stood up and my mom yells out WHAT WAS THAT! Not a bat not a plane not a drone what did I see? It was too big to be anything like that, jumping across the sky and it wasn’t glowing but you could see the bright gray I can’t believe my eyes. I ran into the house as fast as I could to draw a sketch and ask my mom if that is what she seen. She confirmed that she seen it as well. Investigator interviewed the witness for twenty-five minutes on August 21st, 2023 at 16:44 hours. Sighting lasted for a few seconds. Location is a rural home surrounded by trees with large flat fields half a mile east of property. Extensive fields provide an open area for launching unmanned vehicles. Trees surrounding the witness property block seeing the fields. Witness said the altitude of the reported object was 200 feet. The distance from the witness was two football fields away. He described the object as a sphere with wings and its color gray. Sighting made no sound. Object’s size is 5 to 6’ by 4’. Witness said it's the size as the tire on a monster truck. Object had no windows or portals. The recreational drone market has expanded with drones looking like military aircraft. Witness sketch looks like a MQ-9 Reaper military drone. Recreational drones may look like stealth bombers and unique drone hybrids, such as the JJRC MO2 can fly like a drone, or fly in a different mode, the remote control plane mode. Operator can steer JJRC to float like a kite. The JJRC has those three flying modes. Video of the JJRC showed an extremely fast drone. It disappears in seconds. RC planes, also known as remote control planes, may appear by witnesses as drones, and they are quiet unlike drones. Because of the object’s low altitude and smaller than aircraft dimensions, the object is a hybrid drone or remote controlled unmanned plane similar to the JJRC. [NUFORC annotation: Drone - Probable]

I saw one F18 flying low over my neighborhood and watched as it sped up. I then noticed it was chasing something. I am unsure of the shape or what it was it the F18 was chasing, but it was fast and flew up quickly into the atmosphere while the F18 tore West and then directly up. I could no longer see either the F18 or the UFO, but continued to hear the F18 jet as it was still audible. I couldn’t hear the UFO at all. Luckily, another bystander witnessed this incident and we were both unable to articulate precisely what the F18 was chasing. Furthermore, I had a hard time understanding why just one F18 jet was chasing this, as from my understanding they typically do not travel alone.

Object was seen in the night sky at approximately 10:30 on August 12th or 13th. We were looking at the Perseid meteor shower. Our home is located on a mountain and we have a 180* view of the sky. My husband and I observed a giant craft, larger than any aircraft or satellite I have ever seen. It appeared very large and very close. It was traveling toward us at a slow rate of speed. As is came closer, it slowly turned right and disappeared. It was green and holographic in appearance. The shape is hard to describe. It looked like three or four objects that may have been square or spherical. They were linked closely together. We tried to tell ourselves that it was Starlink, but after seeing the Starlink satellites recently and reviewing online images of Starlink, we have ruled out that possibility. We have no explanation for what we saw. It is the second unexplainable phenomenon we have observed in the last 6 years of living on the mountain.

Olney, IL
Was walking out back and as I was closing the door behind me, I noticed large oval shaped lights about 20 feet above the tree line, pretty low, shooting off south into the distance, extreme speeds, once it beamed it had a slight trail that disappeared in less than a second. It all happened extremely fast but it did accelerate for a millisecond and then just beamed away. Very bright haze covering the object, however this was all completely silent, after it was gone I heard a number of owl and coyote in the woods, I'm not sure if there's a correlation with the animal life but the timing was pretty strange.

At sea, CA, International Waters
On Aug. 11th, 2023, at approximately 9:55pm, my wife, daughter and myself were settling in for the night on our last night of our Carnival Panorama cruise. I stepped out on to our stateroom balcony to enjoy the last night's fresh air on the ocean before coming back in to Long Beach, CA to end our 7 day cruise to Mexico. I had been on the balcony for only about 2 minutes when I saw the first light. We were traveling north and were a few miles off the coast in deep water (approx. 12,000 ft according to the cruise TV channel). Our stateroom was on the land side of the Carnival Panorama ship. The light showed up about 3 fingers width above line of sight as we were stationed on the 6th deck of the ship. So the light was far above the horizon. It seemed too far away to see a definitive shape. Just lights is all we saw. The first light I saw started out dim, almost not visible to the naked eye. Then it got much brighter and bigger like it was coming towards us. Then, all of a sudden, that super bright light just disappeared faster than it came. But then, a few seconds later, the light showed up again acting as it did the first time I saw it. I was trying to debunk these lights as planes or possible ships. But the movement of these lights didn't fit with how planes act. I, at first, thought well we are a few miles off the coast, maybe it's a plane going in for a landing in Mexico, as we were still south of the border on Baja California Spur. I figured maybe the plane went in to a bank of clouds for a few seconds and reappeared. However, these lights were changing location each time from west and east and back again. Once, the lights showed up further west of original sighting then, much farther east of original sighting. Now, during the second sighting, another light appeared behind the first and acted the same way. Came in to being out of nowhere and got astonishingly bright with the other, then just disappeared. During the second sighting, I turned and opened the door to our stateroom from the balcony and told my wife that I may be seeing UFO's and asked her to come look. There was nothing for what seemed an eternity so I started feeling really dumb. But then, the lights showed up again, further to the east and my wife saw them this time. We watched as these lights went from dim to super bright and just disappear. This happened 3 more times after my wife had come out but one of the lights disappeared and only one was visible during the last 3 times. And each time, was in a different place in the sky and not as bright as the first 2 times. My daughter finally came out to see what was going on but they were gone by the time she showed up. This all happened in about a 4‐5 minute time frame. I tried to get pics and video but with light distortion from the ship, I can't see it on the video. I kept thinking that maybe it was planes but there were no clouds that could've blocked the lights and also they moved multiple directions in a very short time frame to be planes. I'm hoping others on the cruise with us saw them too.
