Mt. Pleasant, WI
8:45 pm, Sat, Aug 6, 2022 Two glowing orange (like the color of fire, but not flickering and no discernible smoke) ballish objects silently fly from SW to NE over the neighborhood. One followed the other. Flight path was largely a straight line. No small flashing lights such as aircraft have. Neighbors Tina and her sister Tonda also saw them. We watched them until they disappeared into the distance. If they were "Chinese lanterns," they weren't buffeted by any winds or breezes. Again, one followed the other. Est. altitude 1000 feet. Sighting duration was about 4-5 minutes. Thank you for your sighting report. Please make a note of your case number: 124039 You have taken the first step in helping us find the truth about what is going on in our skies and on our planet. Thank you for reporting what you observed! Your friends at MUFON.

Employee of Facility. Was walking to a housing unit. There was a staff member holding the door for me, she says "hey what you think that is?" I turned around and looked up and observed a very bright shinny silver ball. Looked high up and was hovering but changing altitude. Would go high then lower. Then vanished after a minute or so. I was shocked. I kept looking up and observed a dark gray almost moon grey moving very high altitude but traveling across the sky quickly. I observed that for 20 seconds or so. I looked at the staff member I was with and said are you seeing this, she said oh my God yes. I looked back up and again observed a bright shinny object but it had shifted to another part of the sky and appeared to float up and down. For a couple minutes.

I observed several luminous orbs in nighttime sky. Several orbs blinked in and out of view, at different positions. Orangish red spots forming a "0" (which were not seen on video) also observed. They appeared to be swarming and circling, moving in formation. Several other videos with different times and dates and with same characteristics are also in my possession. Some showing lightning. Some videos sound extremely windy, as winds were strong.

I was in my backyard looking around at night in the NW direction when I herd a really weird boom (I assume a sonic boom since I've never herd one in person before). The boom felt like it came from the other side of my fence where the sidewalk should be, but the sound itself felt like thunder originating from somewhere far away and from a single point. I looked in the direction of the boom (either W or WSW in direction) to suddenly see an incredibly bright neon green light appear up in the sky and a little to the right of where I felt the boom originate. I looked at the object and it seemed to be a bright neon green sphere (perfectly spherical as far as I could tell) that also looked to be whiteish-green in the center (like the sun, being more red looking on the outside and whiter near the center due to difference in light intensity towards our direction). The object also had a neon green, near spherical, aura I assume is from the intensity of the light illuminating the humidity in the night air (as it had rained that day and the humidity was sticking around). The object was flying to the right and entered what looked like a tunnel of some sort going into some clouds I didn't see until the object lit up. The edges of the "tunnel" had fingers of clouds coming out of them that looked like typical fractus clouds, but the edges of this "tunnel" were fuzzy and undefined. After flying about 8-10x the spheres diameter into the "tunnel" (as that's my only reference for dimensions), the sphere dimmed really fast like someone slammed the light dimmer switch for a house light until everything disappeared, including the tunnel and assoiated clouds. The light was on for a total of a second or maybe a little longer. Afterwards, I realized that the boom could have been from the light. I looked carefully at where I saw the light and couldn't see any form of cloud or smoke trail. Granted it was still nighttime and most likely beyond the light pollution of the city. If I had to guess I would say the sphere's location was somewhere around the waste field of JR Simplot's Don plant around 7 or so miles west of where I was at. Thinking back I can't remember clearly if I saw the sphere traveling horizontally, or if it was moving slightly upwards. It was not falling, though. The pictures included are of the view I had, and I have circled the location in the sky I saw the sphere.

I have been seeing this UAP regularly for about 10 months or so now, law enforcement can not explain what it is, people I talk to are either baffled, or don't believe me. This U.A.P. usually starts out as a flash of light, then slowly starts becoming more visible through the trees, close to ground level. It moves like drone usually, slowly and silently, with occasionall darts of intense speed, or will suddenly vanish instantly sometimes for a few seconds. I will see it every night for a few weeks, then it may not be seen again for a few weeks, or a couple of months, but then it keep reappearing, it has almost a strict schedule, it appears nightly between 10:00 - 11:00 pm, or around 4:00 am, and it will remain visible until sunrise when it is no longer detectable.the first time I saw it , it actually emitted around 6 additional, small orbs, about basketball size, which then proceeded to flank both side of my valley, dribbling among the trees near the ground, up at the ridgeline. They appeared to actually land momentarily a few times, and at that point, the trees near the ground were illuminated like car headlights. I watched this for probably 2 hrs, before going inside. Lately, the light is usually solitary, and changes to look like a jellyfish, an orb, a small waterfall of fire, a mushroom shaped dome, with a cluster of surgical lights underneath, or just a small light in the sky. The color is usually orange, amber, yellow, or red, with the grouping of surgical lights always an intense white. The light seems to brighten, and darken, or sometimes rotate, and change shape.

My trail camera was set to take pics every 5 mins. My camera caught 3 pictures and it looks like the glowing orb moves maybe a couple feet but stays level and then disappears. I have before photos as well. There’s no light at this time and is on private/remote property.

It was round and bright going but three times faster than an airplane real smooth like going next to Columbia South Carolina Way cause when I seen it I was at 701 South Jamestown laundromat well coming up on it and I seen it about a quarter of a mile before I got to the laundromat they had no other lights flashing or blinking like an airplane does because I see helicopters and planes all the time with the lights flashing but this here had no lights flashing and it was a big round bright orb probably a few thousand feet above the tree line kind of look like if you see somebody’s light on a pole or somebody’s house but 100 times bigger kind of wet it resembles but really really bright ;;;

Keyser, WV
Was standing in my front doorway (it was raining and I didn't want to get wet) on the phone smoking a cigarette when I noticed a red ball of light, stationary above a tree across the street from me. I said "What is that?" It was like it was waiting for me to notice it, because as soon as I acknowledged it, it started moving! It slowly moved left and then quickly glided and came to a sudden stop, then it slowly started moving to the right and quickly glided and once again it came to a sudden stop. At this point I had just finished yelling in the phone "It's a ufo! I'm hanging up on you It's a ufo!" and started recording, my 15 yr old daughter heard me seeing as she was inside the house but only a few feet from the door, and she came out and we both witnessed the orb turn green, and slowly descend in front of some trees and dissappear. I was saying "Come back! Come back! Come back!" To which it actually reappeared as a red orb, floated above the tress again, sat there long enough for me to yell "Hi!" while waving, and then literally dissappear after it descended for the final time.

Multiple bright star like orbs moving in patterns during daylight. 95 degree day not a cloud in the sky and they were bright as stars. The lights faded in and out of view.

The day I wrecked my four wheeler one was following me and when I was parked at night something hit me in the side of the head and I lost a couple hours and when I came to I swore I seen something hairy like a Sasquatch but it sounds crazy I kept hearing this voice in my head telling me to kill myself then I took off and somehow I wrecked and I don't remember none of it from that point but I've seen the UFO all the time out here and one day I seen a big black object and I had a bunch of red fireballs shooting out of it and in it freaked me out and they would look like a star and go from one point to another point instantly and I seen the orbs going retrograde zigzagging back and forth but this was kind of scary because it came right down to my window and I didn't know what it was I thought it was a drone at first until it shut off like that and I kept seeing a bleeder trail behind it almost like it was a spirit and then I kept seeing these lights in the woods they would just glow in the woods and then disappear one day I went after it it was glowing red and then it just disappeared I've seen a white light first and then it was gone I kept hearing noises in the woods banging and I had my chickens all eight and it looked like these big wolf like things but they were almost bigger than a wolf spiky hair on the back they were all black sorry it won't let me upload my video contact me for it

Near Chicago Area, IL
Came home around 12:30am from a trip. Near 1am saw a very bright star shaped light hovering awkwardly below The cloud line looking north to slightly northwest from my house which would face toward Lake Michigan or Chicago area. I am very familiar with seeing planes in route to the airports, private aircraft, military planes and helicopters, low orbit satellites streaking in the sky and even have seen shooting stars and other things over time. This was definitely abnormal in how it was moving and how bright it was. My wife and I were looking at the object and I specifically noticed not only how bright it was, but how slowly and awkwardly it was dancing horizontally. It seemed to move a little, stop, then do it again a couple of times. It stopped, then seemed to make a half circle back in the opposite direction and slightly lift above a cloud. I could still see it momentarily and it was as if it lifted and disappeared. The cloud cover cleared relatively quick and there was no remnant of what we saw. It was pretty clear otherwise with many stars highly visible. We even saw what appeared to be a low orbit satellite running from west to east in the general area shortly after we saw the object.

Dalton Gardens, ID
My aunt (age 68) and I (age 30) were sitting in the backyard when we witnessed in the southern part of the sky a single orb of light, which looked like the ISS, moving west to east horizontally and low across the night sky. The light was about the same size, color and brightness of the ISS, which we both assumed it was at the time. It did not blink in any way or emit any noise. The light seemed far away, and it did not streak like a meteor. The sky was clear with no cloud cover. The light was quite quick at first, moving about the same speed as the ISS, but the light slowed to a halt and then disappeared in the middle of the sky. The light did not move beyond the horizon as you would see with the ISS, it was not obscured by the mountain facing direcrly east of us (Canfield Mountain), nor was it blocked by any tree cover. It rapidly grew fainter in the south east part of the sky until it was no longer discernible to either of us.

We were on our rooftop when we saw a bright light in the west horizon. This light moved slowly similar to a plane. My girlfriend asked what it was and I initially told her a plane. The bright light moved from west to east across the city skyline to the north. It continued across to our south east when we took notice that it was not a helicopter or drone and definitely not a plane. Three things we see a lot of from our deck. It didn’t have any sound but was close enough to mistake as a drone but far enough that you couldn’t make out a shape, other than the round sphere it was. Inside there were many colors ranging from green to purple to and deep blues to magenta even. This is when I started filming the object. Then the sphere changed forms to a gas, like a white smoke, circular in shape but not symmetrical boarders. Then back to a smaller sphere with color patterns on the inside. When I went to show my girlfriend the video I took. We both looked down for about 3 seconds at the phone and looked back up. Sure enough the light sphere was gone. I have a minute video of this.

Around 7:20pm my child looked up in the sky and asked us what he was seeing. We saw 6 or 7 solid white orbs floating high up in the blue sky near a cloud. The orbs were identical in size and color, and moved slowly south, disappearing after a few seconds, but more and more kept coming from behind the cloud. I estimate we saw 25 to 30 orbs come out from behind the same small cloud and then disappear. Except for one orb that remained stationary in the sky as the others went past. At one point the stationary orb flashed. It remained until the end and then faded out. It never moved position.

I was facing north/northwest when I saw one silver sphere moving across the sky. It was quite small. I then noticed another one far behind the first. They both moved slowly to the east. There wasn't any sound. They slowly moved until they disappeared .

Treknow, CORNWALL · United Kingdom
Sighting at approx 0130 hrs in Treknow Cornwall which is a 10 minute walk to the coast. I was stargazing and to my left I saw the brightest light in the sky which immediately caught my attention as it wasn't there before. I thought it may have been a planet ,star or even the ISS (Checked and confirmed it wasnt) that had been covered by a passing cloud. I continued to watch as it appeared to be moving in my direction again I was unsure if it was moving at all or just maybe a cloud moving which gave the impression that this light was moving when it wasn't. However the light became brighter and it became apparent that it was moving, in my direction but extremely slowly. Again I continued to watch and it seemed to stop for about 1-2 minutes. At one point the light looked almost like there was a cross shape behined it? before it changed course to its left (my right as I watched) in a very smooth like manner the light then faded and looked like a moving satellite before it changed course again, doubled back on itself and disappeared. I am so annoyed that I didn't film it but I was genuinely scared that I didn't want to move but had to keep watching! It is worth noting that as the object moved in my direction and got closer, winds pick up very noticeably and then calmed when the object moved away.There was also no sounds from the object.I have been watching the skies for a long time and have seen some strange things but this compelled me to report it. I hope you find this somewhat useful and would be keen to learn of other reports of this nature. Thank you

I was outside having a cig late at night, about 12 am. I noticed a "star" with an unusual flicker on the horizon that appeared to move rapidly then return to its current location when I focused on it. Believing this to be an optical illusion I began to adjust my height or my location along my patio to determine if the star like object was actually moving or not... during those moments when I was moving it seemed to mimick me as when I stopped it would stop as well. Finally I positioned myself so that the utility pole that was between me and it on the horizon obscured its view. Thinking that if it was stationary it would remain hidden.. after a few moments the object swung into my field of view and maintained visual contact with me all the while moving in ways impossible to conventional craft and completely silent. Realizing that this was a genuine ufo encounter I got my lighter out and begin to flicker it in patterns.. up then down or left to right and the orb of light would follow suit immediately afterwards. I did a circular motion with my lighter and it did the same. At this point I was overcome with a sense of wonderment, awe, and even fear that this thing was actually observing and reacting to me and I went in my house. But not before locking all my doors and bringing the dogs into the bedroom with my wife and myself. I stayed awake for several hours not comfortable sleeping when this "thing" was just apparently just a couple hundred yards from my house. (This is my third sighting within 2 days, but the most significant and longest lasting so it is the one I am including, prior to this weekend I have never seen a UFO before.

Mobile, AL
I was driving down the road when I seen a bright orb like light moving through the night sky. I stopped the truck. I picked something out to make sure wasn’t a star. And it continued to move. I got out my truck and started to take a video. It then stopped. And it was still moving up and down and right to left all while it would disappear and then reappear. There was no houses or anybody around and I started feel like I was being watched. I stepped away from the truck and over by a tree to block myself from its view to just make sure this isn’t really happening and prove to myself it wasn’t watching me. A short moment and it made its way around the tree and we was looking at each other again. It was hard to judge the distance. I started to film it. It would disappear and reappear. And 3 times It would split into 2 orbs before quickly going back to one. I have the video and pictures. I got into my truck and drove to a more comfortable spot just in case anything bad was to happen. Right before the light started to break the horizon, it went directly east in the sky before completely disappearing. •Weirdest thing of all while watching this phenomenon while standing outside of my vehicle, my windshield wipers came on for a split 3 seconds. My truck was off. I was already on edge trying to understand. They came on and it was so loud it about gave me attack. It’s a new truck and never done anything like that. When I got into my truck and hit the start button, my radio was set on Christian station. It’s not even saved in my truck.

Dewey Beach, DE
We were sitting at the beach late at night watching the stars.. we were looking at the sky when I thought I saw a shooting star, I realized it was no star but an orb.. then I noticed the second one.. they were high up but very high in detail so I knew they were big. They were moving across the sky fast from very far up so they must of been moving very very fast… they were night to eachother always changing distances from eachother and occasionally crossing and switching places, moving in a slow delicate way. They let off this green-blue whitish glow. There was no sound. We sat in islands for a good 30 seconds while watching them dance around and fly past in the sky. Once they got far away they stopped and pulsed, then they disappeared abruptly and a VIBRANT white filled our eyes. It was not a flash that was coming from a specific point but our complete vision was just pure white for a flash moment. The whitest white I can imagine. Then it was still and we left for how uncomfortable we where. We both confirmed we saw the same thing and it wasn’t just a bug in our eye.

Saw a bright light to the north west, seemed to be coming south east straight over ohare airport. It did not have any blinking marker lights light aircraft, made no sound, did not flicker like one of those lanterns that float away. This stayed the same brightness as it moved slowly across the sky. It was higher than the incoming aircraft but much to low and bright to be something in orbit. After reaching just about over our heads the object seemed to begin to slow and out of nowhere went straight up and disappeared. I checked flight trackers, satellite trackers everything I could think of and nothing was taking that flight path at that moment.

At the height of low flying airplane, one solid illuminated white orb travelled a steady and slow speed with no sound or blinking lights. This is the third time in the past three months we have witnessed this occurance. Twice it travelled east to west, once was north to south. Each occurance has been roughly a month apart and at night, roughly between the hours of 8:30pm and 11pm.

At 12:26 am. My two teenage sons could not sleep and were up. From the upstairs of the house looking east above the Weyerhaeuser tree line they witnessed, photographed and video this seemingly very odd object in the night sky. Where we live there are no neighbors or lights from other sources. Only the stars, sun, and moon. Once I zoomed in on the video they took, the object had the tic tac shape that navy f-18 pilot commander fravor witnessed and chased. Pretty creepy actually. They both said it just hovered and changed directions I’m the same place. Had a bright aura around it with what they described as having 4 sources of light. Then it disappeared.

Orb was stationary for 20 minutes then drifted for 10 minutes
