Saw 2 crafts with bright red & green lights hovering in the sky then moving in random directions. They could dart across sky rapidly then back to a hovering state. We saw them over the McDowell Mtn range for two consecutive nights around the same time of 7:30-8:00 PM. The second night we saw 3 crafts that moved over N Scottsdale.

I was outside tonight watching the sky with my grandfather when we both witnessed in the Northeast section of the sky of Wisconsin three lights that appeared and started forming a triangular shape and disappeared. I began watching the sky intently trying to see if I could record a video of the objects. One of the objects was brighter than the others and I captured it on video disappearing out of the video. All three objects moved as if they were defined gravity behaving in ways that planes were drones could not behave. I checked flight trackers to see if it was possible for airplanes to be doing this but there were no airplanes in that section of Wisconsin at this time. Me and my grandfather both witnessed this and could not explain it at this time. The objects would spontaneously disappear and reappear in different sections of the sky but would regroup as they moved. The brightest object at one point before I could capture it on video emitted different objects out of it that formed in about 10 bright objects into a circle then switch to a triangular formation before disappearing again. The objects reappeared around 10 other times before completely disappearing and I went inside my grandfather's apartment to go to sleep. I'm filing this report before I go to sleep because I am genuinely frightened and cannot explain it. Hopefully others witnessed it however I am not sure. I have an edited version of the video where the brightness was increased on the brightest object however I am having trouble uploading the image in this report therefore I will be able to send it if someone contacts me. Thank you.

2 were setting on the ocean far enough out so I could see it from the 10 deck (on our last night at sea) There was a hurricane in the islands so we couldn't go to our destination.

I went out to my front porch after putting on a pot of coffee + looked South. Then I looked at Jupiter or Saturn to the West and looked back south + saw an orange/yellow object that was huge and on the Low horizon perhaps 20 degrees above horizon + approximately 160 degrees South of my location. It looked like a planetary configuration but where one shouldn’t be. It’s size was 4-5 times the size of Jupiter or Saturn in the same morning sky. I observed it hovering approximately where White Sands Missile Range is located. It was observed for about 30 seconds + I thought got to go in + get my phone. I looked towards the screen door and looked back + the object was gone, vanished with no vapor not diffused. Then as I continued to look in the sky there were at least 2 Jets presumably from AFB in Alamogordo way up also circling the area. Maybe they were there all along but not observed until after object disappeared

I watch stars nightly and identify them with a App that follows them and satellites. I have done this dutifully nightly for last 7-10 years as I walk my dog between 9-12 pm. I also awaken between 4-5 ea. morning to let him out for a nature break in our back yard. I have good knowledge of where all major stars are, their travel patterns, times ETC. after years of studying them. The early morning this happened I didn’t have my cell phone. I walked out on our patio and scanned the skies paying Attention to Jupiter and Saturn which was where the moving bright light was positioned slowly moving towards me fairly low and getting larger as it approached. I have wanted to spot a UFO for the last ten years, read about sightings but had never witnessed one. I studied it as it approached and could not see any FAA lights, just a solid bright light with a blueish hue. As it got very close It was obviously not anything conventional as it resembled a flat star and there were no moving aircraft anywhere in sight. It travelled at a pace a little faster than a jog. Frozen it was almost overhead and it’s detail became evident. Traveling at 500-1000 feet it was as dimensionally as big as a 747 At least 100-150 feet from corner to corner. It was two triangles forming a singular flat star shape. Third thing that was so eerie was the total silence. It doesn’t compute. How can anything this large right above you be so quiet? By now my heart was racing and I ducked under our back porch kinda scared. I ran inside to have my wife join me but she’d just commenced a shower. I yelled for her to come out and ran back outside. It was passing towards the NE. In the direction of NE AZ. When it had passed out of sight I ran back inside babbling about it to my wife dragging her outside in her towel. I was describing what had just happened and was pointing to where it had first been observed. When another exact craft but much higher like at least 10,000 ft. appeared to follow the exact same path. My wife watched it slowly pass and we went back inside. My BP was pretty high and I felt like I had several cups of coffee. I immediately wrote about what I saw to a report form in MUFON. I am sure there had to be others that witnessed it. I checked the airplane traffic app I keep on my cell and the only planes at that time in the sky were two FedEx planes leaving Tucson way south of PHX. I can’t help but think it was observed by Airport personnel that morning as it passed just to the west of PHX airport. Most commercial flights start leaving around 5am so I’m sure someone else saw this thing. The craft seemed to be projecting a light out in front of it. As it moved it was not linear. Kind of like taking steps. The middle was same color as sky which was still dark then. The outlines were what was bright and ea. 4 corners came to a point all the sides lit very brightly. Seeing the second one w my wife made me feel better cause you immediately worry no one will take you credibly. The lack of noise is what really stands out about my experience.

Standing outside where a very bright round ball of lights moved above me before moving very fast upward into the sky and vanishing. It was moving very slow above me for about 6-8 seconds and all of a sudden flew upward at high speed and vanished. It was very close and not up as far as the planes are and much bigger. I thought it was a comet or fireball until it flew upward into the sky. It was over on SE 33rd and Belmont where I watched it. Not sure if others seen it but would guess they did. It was hard to miss. No sound, no trail,no change in color, extremely fast, very bright,very large, and lower in elevation.

Me and my family were traveling south on the freeway on our way home. It was evening time and we were looking to the sky and I happened to see a bright light it look to be oval/round in shape and very bright. It started to move slowly and no noise than I saw it shout straight up and than in a L formation within seconds and than was gone I didn't say anything and than my wife and daughter said at the same time did you see that object. We all talked about it and saw the same thing. We know for a fact it wasn't a star, plane or drone it moved so fast and with a second in each direction.

Benton, LA
Watched a silent craft/ball of light that changed in intensity appear from the West several thousand feet up. Headed towards Eastern sky. Object seemed intelligent as it stopped a brief moment. After I noticed it. Something told me to look up for some strange reason. That’s when I saw it slow to an abrupt stop. Before continuing on in an eastern trajectory. It wasn’t a plane or a satellite. Object had a slight left to right wiggle to it and seemed to be under control by intelligent forces.

We saw multiple dispersing lights in the sky coming fading and brightening in multiple directions. The lights were bright and faded and disappeared into the dark sky. Some lights were very dim but perceptible.

Pottersville, NY
Never have seen anything like this. Large white, unblinking, non flashing light spherical. A little bigger than Jupiter visible in sky tonight. The light had a fan like spray of light training behind it as it moved from west to east horizontally. Lasted about 30-45 seconds. Then the tail spray disappeared first, then a couple seconds later the white main body of light disappeared. Totally clear skies tonight, no clouds in the sky.

Bright ball of white light followed by a trail of light. It moved south to north, observed for about 2.5 minutes before the the trail of light faded and then the ball disappeared seconds after the trail of light went out.

The sky was clear. Stars were out. No sound was present as the light moved across the sky. I have attached a video that I filmed a few seconds after realizing this was not a meteor plane or other flying device. It was above a soy field adjacent to our property and slowly moved to above our one acre pond before if just dissolved. There was never a sound. Some people think it may be a space x satellite when my son posted it to TikTok last night where 20k people viewed it. We’d never seen anything like this so please confirm what it could have been.

Townsend, MA
A small circular light traveling through the sky was seen by 2 witnesses and captured on video. The light was followed by a large exhaust type trail that was also illuminated. The trail remained in the sky, in the exact shape of the light, for about a minute. The wide trail eventually disappeared, but using the zoom on the video, the original small light can be seen traveling along.

At first it appeared to be falling from the sky at an enormous speed. Then it suddenly stopped & the Light object was moving like no human aircraft. Short quick movements. Then it just disappeared after a while

Cheshire, CT
Shortly after pulling onto Main Street I looked up to see a bright light at first I thought it looked like possibly a helicopter with it’s search light on and it was moving pretty fast from right to left. After pulling onto Horton Avenue I realized this was to high up to be a helicopter with a search light on. The craft was still moving right to left and the light was on the right so on the back. The light was extremely bright for how high up it was, I’d say it had to be as high as a normal passenger plane would fly. The light shinning in back which was a white light looked dusty. After pulling onto Horton Ave and watching it for another 15-30secs the light turned off (it did not fad out) but you could still see the craft moving and it looked like it was leaving a dust behind. It moved quickly behind the tree line and that’s it. The object was not over head but maybe a few miles away, where I was looking it was towards the Cheshire/Hamden line but it’s hard to decipher how far it was from my location. But it was bright and large enough to see where I was. This did not look like a shooting star, green fire ball or comet. This was a craft of some kind.

Norwood no, MA
My family was driving home on a busy highway and saw an extremely bright light about a thousand feet in the air . The light was at a complete stand still - there was no movement. The light had a yellowish tint to it . It was a single beam shining downwards towards the ground . We did not hear any aircraft noises nor did we see other lights . We started filming the bright object on our phone and then all of a sudden, the light just switched off and the object disappeared .

Around 7:40pm on Saturday night 9/24/22, I went to close the blinds in my room and witnessed a strange moving light in the sky. Not a plane, as there was a plane in sight too, going a different direction, but this looked very different. This was only one prick of unblinking light moving in a straight across the sky right to left as I looked from my window (Eastbound). The pinpoint of light had a thick v-shaped very bright white light beaming out behind it. I had my dad get up to look at kitchen window then we ran to the backyard to see. There was no sound coming from it. We watched it as it was for a few moments continuing straight and relatively fast on its path, then all of a sudden the light beam seemed to detach from the craft and was left behind hanging in the sky as the prick of light continued on. Within a few moments, the prick of light wasn’t visible at all and as the light beam faded too, it was like it was never there – nowhere to be seen. My dad and I were flabbergasted and agreed that it was very odd, especially the way the light suddenly detached from the craft itself and was left paused in the sky while the craft continued on, only to fade out some moments later along with the visual of the craft itself. Very strange and notable – my dad and I had never seen anything at all like it. Both of us have a familiarity and somewhat casual academic interest in UFOs, and could not identify it as anything UFO or non-UFO that we are familiar with in the sky. Could not obtain any video footage as neither my dad or I have a smartphone.

Was unloading car, turned around and seen Rocket with white plumes behind it in sky looking South towards Lancaster, looked really cool so I videoed about 30 seconds of it then went about unloading rest of car . Later I watched it back and noticed at 12 seconds in there was a small light very fast goes past rocket. When I paused the video and went frame for frame you can plainly see a craft comes up behind then beside then out front where it takes off like a flash. Whatever it was it was going way faster then that rocket
