I saw a blue glowing object as I was photographing the moon in zoom mode on my Iphone camera. The object appeared as different shapes at different times. I took 9 photos of it. Initially, it appeared to have a cloudy shape - appearing to look like a sea turtle with a tail. Then, when the cloudiness disappeared, it looked similar to a bat-shape with a large body. In the next photo it appears "U" shaped. In the next photo it looks like a rocket. Next it looks like a small fish shape. Then as an airplane comes in for a landing at our airport, it looks T-shaped and as it suddenly reduces elevation, it looks like a flying saucer. In the final photo as it came way down in elevation, it stopped seemingly nearby and it appears as a frog with only back legs. In every photo it is the same glowing blue color.

dark ro black object at dusk sun had set. looked like a bird very high up at first. saw small changes in shape but too high to say what it looked like. then I thought it is was a balloon or very large black garbage bag but it was very high and there was not much of a wind. it moved very straight and with a constant and fast speed like a helicopter but was too high and no sound. saw it move across for about 75% of the sky in a very straight line till it was no longer visible due to the distance. The person with me also agreed that whatever it was looked and acted very strange a not like something we can recognise that it was

12 lights in the NE about moving in formation. 3 lights broke away from a big circle and made a triangle. The the lights that made a triangle joined the rest of the group and made a straight line and faded out of sight.

Burton, TX
Over 290 to the east, I heard a single, deep “boom” sound that was accompanied by an explosive-like flash in the sky. A few minutes later, I changed location, to see get an unobstructed view of the horizon spanning from Washington county to Harris County. In the direction ofHouston, I witnessed a disc-shaped craft hovering, flashing red, white, and blue like a disco ball. I grabbed a pair of binoculars, put them on a solid surface, and sat down to watch this thing. Every once in a while, I caught a few random white sparks appear anywhere within its radius for a split second. Like sparkles. It’s still there 03:46 and getting closer. I am pretty certain I watched it change from a horizontal to a vertical shape for a moment then return to disc-like. It’s really close now. Coming towards Burton. 03:49.

First 20 seconds of the video you can see a triangular craft float in from the side And then takeoff into the horizon. Next minute of the video you can see one orb floating in the sky. At about two minutes you can see three orbs floating in the sky. After minute three you can see an orange craft flying diagonally down from the left. This craft appeared to be an orange biplane with props when it flew over the trees. It literally took my breath away. Then it becomes an orange glowing ball of light. At the time it looked like it landed right behind my building. There are no airports near that building.

I stepped outside into the backyard late last night just before 11:00pm and noticed what appeared to be a string of lights, similar to the landing and beacon lights on an aircraft and about the same level of brightness as stars, that were hovering horizontally and at first stationary in the sky to the southeast of my location near Palm Springs. I observed the anomaly for several minutes, taking a few long exposure nighttime shots on my phone, as the string of lights came together forming what appeared to be one single source of light that then began to move slowly in a southern direction, changing direction slightly towards the east then vanishing completely from view. There was a second that I at first thought was a star further off in the distance where this craft was moving towards, and this light also disappeared not long after the first. I'll also mention that were no (zero) registered aircraft in the vicinity of the lights throughout the entire duratio! n of the event.

Didn’t see it with my naked eye. Went back frame by frame on my video and got these images. Looks like a big in one frame, and a capsule in another.

First appeared as elongated white light then changed to object displaying 3 lights: 1 white 1 green 1 red. When it was almost overhead the 3 lights changed into 4 white lights in a diamond pattern. Photos were taken that show a craft of some type under the lights when I zoomed in on images.

Lots of funnel clouds in the sky, spotted maybe 5 of them. As I was looking at these I noticed a black blobdot in the sky. It wasnt moving then I recorded and as I was recording it moved a little then either disappeared or took off real fast. There was a plane circling the funnel clouds and this thing so I figured it was a weather tech of some kind. Showed my husband who said it could be that too. I keep thinking it's a bird, but filmed birds the next day and you can clearly see their wings. And the biggest bird we have hear is a hawk. That thing was high up and huge. Also didnt flutter like birds do on film. We were on the west border entry of BEALE AFB and we see lights and night time craft, frequently. Not me, but my friends and husband. Nobody has seen a daytime one like this. Tried to upload this video on mufon but it didnt let me probably because my cell service. So here's a link https://youtu.be/C1FUd4hhNrk

Looks like stars at first glance, then the star like object pulses sometimes it will look like a star then change to a stick shape and moves around sky, tonight was the second time me and my mom saw it lower the lights are in a triangle shape , red white lights , it will be stationary then starts to circle the sky . There is no noice coming from flying object. You can come to this particular area and see multiple of the star like objects pulsating red blue and orange they are in the sky every night

I was looking up at the moon. Several degrees below the moon I thought I saw a drone, however, there were no blinking lights or sounds. It must've been much higher up than I thought. It traveled from the southern sky to the eastern. As it got to the eastern part of the sky, it seemed to elongate, and then change shape again -- for awhile it looked like a hawk doing barrel rolls. When it was done with the acrobatics, it must've decided to go vertical because it went from having a visible tangible shape to looking like any other star in the sky, and then the cloud cover made it disappear.

I Went Star watching with my Wife In Johnson Valley CA area ( Lucern Valley CA) the Moon was waxing crescent 3.8% and the area was the darkest on my light pollution map. We went to a location called "Soggy dry lake" and began to view to Stars. Shortly after arriving my Wife notifies me of a pulsing ( very bright then fades to dim repeating ) white light to the North/North East I look and watch for 3-5 min and determine it’s a helicopter flying our direction with its spot light on and pointed forward. I then look at my phone to view my Star map notice its 12:20am I continue to look to the Southern and Eastern skies. Around 12:52am my Wife again references the pulsing light I look and notice it hasn't moved any closer or further away or higher or lower in the sky and is still pulsing a powerful white to a almost translucent white its at this point it has my attention this is when it began to divide into two then into three then would join back together again all the while slowly pulsing brilliant white to a translucent white. This continued for 1-2 minutes after the video stops when the Unidentified lights stopped the light was at the point of being joined to one and still slowly pulsing then just winked out gone from the sky. I have Video @ 206MB I am unable to upload I would have captured the full occurrence but I did not have enough memory at the time.

We had a cloudy night and it stayed above the clouds. All I could see was the colored lights changed shapes and it was in a square then a triangle shape then lights shot around so fast we couldn't have done it. The lights were white, red, green and blue. Where it left the clouds left like it was hiding behind it.

I have no idea who I should get ahold of to help out with my video. On Aug. 17, 2019, at 12:53 pm my friend was outside my house and with his cell phone started taking a video of the sky about 00.07.51 seconds long. He came into the house to look at his video and saw something in the video that he didn't see while filming it. He caught something that flew by so fast it was gone in a blink of an eye. When the counter gets at 0:0:1:08 you have to watch really close to see it pass by. We also put the video on my laptop so we could see it in 360 degree and paused it you can see a bright hole in the sky where it comes from. We have shown a few people the video and there is no one who can explain it and I have no idea what it could be. I think you would really be interested in viewing my video and helping to figure out what it is. Would really appreciate any feedback or help in any way. I know he caught something that we can't explain. It seemed like a smoky object that changed its shape and it was see through.

In August 2019 about 8:00pm I was looking north at a Thunderhead in the distance from my home. A speck in sky just left of the Clouds caught my eye. It didn’t seem to be moving so I grabbed my Binoculars and observed a brown object at an unknown distance and altitude. Approaching aircraft in GSO where obviously closer so I would estimate the craft was 8-10 miles and around 10,000- 20,000 AGL. The craft was turning while stationary and from what I could observe it had a hole in the fuselage but as it turned it became solid. It looked smooth at some points but then as it began to move slowly towards the thunderhead it stopped turning and looked jagged. Almost like looking like a rock. It was brown or brownish the entire time and stayed at the same altitude. My wife observed the craft with my binoculars for a moment but she couldn’t keep a fix on it as the sun set. It did give a slight reflection as the sun went down in front of the clouds but it disap! peared towards the east behind the trees. I would like to note that the first observation through my binoculars the craft looked like a donut. After about 3-5 minutes I never saw that angle again as it moved.

Tiny grey transparent “airplane” which looks like no other I’ve seen drew my attention. It disappeared totally behind a wood light pole when it flew, from my vantage, behind it.

TWO GOLD METALLIC CYLINDRICAL OBJECTS STANDING PERFECTLY STILL (NO WIND AT GROUND LEVEL) INTERTWINED CHANGING SHAPE RAPIDLY. FIRST THOUGHT, BALLOONS BUT A COMMERCIAL JET PASSED THE OBJECT (LAGUARDIA AIRPORT IS NEARBY) GIVING ME A GOOD ESTIMATE OF IT'S SIZE. IT WAS LARGER AND HIGHER THAN THE JET!!!! THE OBJECT GRADUALLY GAINED ALTITUDE AND DISAPPEARED.

-My mother and I were driving in a car at night, we saw two flying objects that would spark into what looked like fireworks. However, it was silent; the lights were extremely bright and I couldn’t see anything on FlightRadar24 -It was so unusual we stopped over to film it. -The video was captured on 3 August 2019 at 22:22.
