Lafayette, IN
Traveling southbound on us 52 near the intersection of county road 450 I witnessed four lights in a row that were just hovering above the highway and a nearby field. Three of the lights were similar in shape to rounded street lights but much brighter and white, the third light was blinking extremely fast next to that light was a bright red light. he middle of the white lights had a white hue around it similar to that of a flashlight . I at first thought it might of been a life line helicopter landing. The closer I got to it the more it just looked off, the lights were either moving apart or the closer I got the more space I noticed between the lights. I didn't witness anything between the light, but I saw something like a field or something around them in like a rounded rectangular shape. It wasn't until I driver underneath it and heard my car echo similar to going under a bridge or in a tunneI decided to get out and take a picture of it or a video or some! thing because I didn't hear it and realized that it was right on top of me. As soon as I parked my car and opened my door it was gone. I didnt see it fly away and I don't think I heard it.

My neighbor and I witnessed what appeared to be a cluster of star like moving objects in the southern sky moving from east to west at a slow pace. They did not appear to have any organized shape or formation and the objects slowly changed in orientation over the few minutes we watched them. They eventually appeared to slow and disappear from view behind the neighbor’s roof-line and I believe they may have started moving south out of view from there. I checked out photos of the Starlink satellites and what we watched were definitely not those satellites. What we saw had no definite pattern or orientation and were scattered in a changing cluster of lights. The objects formed somewhat of a “J” shape from north to south and under the largest formation was a trailing cluster from east to west. There were in the same area of the sky as Jupiter moving towards the west.

Alvin, WI
On the night of July 23 2020 I arrived at the fishing camp in rural Alvin wi along with my two good friends that I have known since middle school. I am a Marine corps veteran and my friend's dad is a US Army veteran We arrived hours late around 2330 buds central standard time. My friends dad who owns the camp is at this time sitting by the campfire. We all unpack and set up tents or racks in the garage and settle in. About a half hour into our usual formalities and during a lull in the conversation I ask my friends dad (who I consider a father to me) why he keeps looking at the sky.. he says "oh it's nothing" a little while later his son asks him the same question. He then seems withdrawn. And points to the sky where I look. I was on the same side of the campfire as him. I noticed a weird constellation a perfect equalalateal triangle the three points were the brightest points in the sky. I asked if this was what he had see be said yes but that's not! the weird part. Seconds later the triangle seemed to shed a orb or ball shaped craft that stayed all g the edge of the craft for a few minutes then wormed it's way across the sky slowly and inconsistently before stopping for a minute the darting across the sky at great speed. They also appeared out of nowhere or shot across the sky then j hooked back the way they came.The rest of the night was extremely event full we say two distinct formations of craft s Chase each other across the sky. Lesser flashes of light near the craft as if possible explosions from a distance. Also what appeared to be light beams emitted towards each other. This happened regularly at very close intervals until the sun came up and drown out the lights

I have pictures of this object and they have great quality. For weeks I looked at how the planets looked from earth and there is no similarities. It was about 11:15 and I was in the basement finishing up some homework when my dad screamed to come outside immediately as he was out letting our dog workout his last business before bed. I couldn’t believe what I was looking at. This object was being circled blatantly by planes which had blinking lights on them (red) it was saucer shaped emitting a crazy amount of light. After staring for an hour it vanished. I sent the picture to my old astrology teacher and even he could not believe what his eyes were looking at.

Beverly, MA
The sky was still lit and we saw a very oddly shaped object floating about as high as a helicopter would fly, maybe higher. I ran inside to grab binoculars and my sister and I followed it as it flew west and then curved southeast. We went onto the street watching it until it was out of our sight. All of us were unable to figure out what it was even though it was so visible in our binoculars. When I first saw it it looked like it was on fire, then it just appeared very shiny/sparkly, and could have been brown in color. The shaped was so odd, scalloped on the top and more box like on its bottom. We didn't get a photo or video of it. Around this time many citizens all over our town had been reporting that their Comcast internet and cable weren't working.

Littleton, CO
Two crafts about a thumbs lengths apart from the ground, each craft is composed of five lights in a .•.•. pattern. Seen in the exact same place and same distance apart in the sky between 11pm and 1am every night for about 2 weeks now. Appears and vanishes faster than a blink but always in the same time frame. Neighbors dog goes crazy every time they appear and stops when they vanish.

Odd ‘Drone’ Sighting, Greenfield, New Hampshire Location: Slope of Crotched Mountain, Greenfield, NH Date: July 18, 2020 Conditions: Partially cloudy with haze / warm and humid, approximately 75 F Duration of sighting: 5-7 minutes My wife and I hiked up to a viewing platform on the slope of Crotched Mountain in Greenfield, NH, hoping to get a glimpse of Comet Neowise in the northwest sky after twilight. Local sunset was at 8:20 pm. We stayed on the viewing platform until 10:00 pm, and though we didn’t see the comet due to thick haze near the northwest horizon, we did see something strange. At about 9:40 pm, after looking at stars around the Summer Triangle, I turned to look south facing the direction of North Pack Monadnock which is about 10 miles away as the crow flies. I immediately noticed a very bright stationary light that appeared to flicker. It was orange-red in overall color, and in binoculars was very bright, so bright it ruined my night vision. It was at least several times brighter than Venus at its brightest, and my first thought was it must be a Drone, though it was much brighter than any other night flying drone I’ve ever seen. It was also completely quiet, and I could hear no whir of propeller blades. It was hard to tell how high in the sky it was, but our elevation was close to 1,000 feet, and I’d guess this object was at least that high at it was straight out from our viewing position. Through 10 X 40 binoculars I could discern no clear shape, with the object flashing bright red and yellow-orange lights, though in no regular pattern. At one point it appeared that either the object or lights were rotating, though it was hard to tell if they were stationary and flashing or moving. At one point I thought I saw a silvery background color under the other lights, but they were changing so fast it was hard to tell. It stayed motionless for at least two minutes. After this time the object suddenly dimmed by at least 50%, and then proceeded to move slowly but steadily off towards the east, from time to time being obscured by trees in front of us. Once it entered a clearing between trees I could tell that there was a brighter red leading light and a fainter, almost pink trailing light. I would assume they were fixed to the body of the object but that too was difficult to discern. It then moved beyond our viewing range as it continued heading to the east / northeast. It made no sudden directional or velocity changes, but moved steadily. We estimated that it must have traveled several miles during the time we had a good look at it. Drones in New Hampshire are supposed to be operated in line of sight, and there was no way this object was in the line of site of one individual operator for the duration of the event. I’d like to know if other such odd ‘drones’ have been sighted in New England recently.

I was looking in the sky for the comet Neowise, and before I went into the house I looked to the southern sky and saw a "V" shaped translucent or "cloaked" craft approximately 40ft wide 50ft long with 5 round very dim lights (1 light at the front or nose and 3 on each side underneath the craft) moving about 100mph,500 feet above the ground and totally silent. It came from the southeast and kept heading northwest. It was almost unnoticeable but the distortion of the sky and stars as it passed over gave it away. It was thrilling to see but gave me a spooky feeling as well. This is my first UFO sighting and I felt I needed to report a craft with this capability flying through our airspace undetected.

Ankeny, IA
Conditions were very clear. I was in my back yard looking to the south. I then noticed a bright object approaching from the south, moving to the north and then curing to the northeast. I could not make out a shape. The object only appeared to be a very bright, a very brilliant white light. As it approached directly over head. It appeared to slow down and almost stop. It redirected course to the east. In this sense it did not behave like a satellite. There was some minor cloud cover to the east and as the craft entered the area of clouds, it seemed to dim. Giving the impression that it was above the clouds. The object made no sound.

While walking our dogs, my wife and I noticed a bright squared shaped light slowly rotating with another squared shape light. The two lights then proceeded to almost stack on top of each other & move east. The formation then stayed stationary and two red/green lights formed a triangular formation with the stacked lights. The light to the right of the stacked lights then moved west at a high rate of speed and was pulsating a dull light. We also noticed that all the stars in the sky seemed to form a triangular formation. The big dipper constellation was also highly visible.

I have a video that I would like to share. Two people and a dog were present. The camera video did not cap ture everything we saw, but it does convey the sense of erratic motion and shapes in the sky. At first, I noticed eccentricities in the movements of what I thought was the moon and a planet and/or meteor. I turned my camera on and recorded. I had to move the camera to keep the (moon/planet/third object) in the frame. 20 seconds into the video, I could not believe what I was seeing and started to doubt it (it was bizarre motion - zig-zaggish), and so I re-positioned and put the camera flat on the ground and had my friend help me keep it steady. At that point, it was very clear that what we were seeing and trying to record was real. I have photos and video recordings that I would like analyzed. I am 31 and have never seen anything so erratic in the sky in my life. The park was: Witchduck Landing Park in Virginia Beach, VA. The time was 4:19 AM.

July 14, 2020-10:52 pm: I spotted a pyramid shaped uap with distinct areas of emitted power, (viewed as white light). I observed the uap through the window of my bedroom near a tall tree in my yard close to my house. It was visible in the sky near the top of the tree and/or through the leaves. Through the naked eye, i remember it being just a cream colored light in the sky. Small enough to be similar as a large star. The difference was how bright it was compared to the stars in the sky, on the somewhat clear night. Many times I lost track of it and I had to move my head around slowly to find it again. I assume by looking back at it that they leaves in the trees could have obstructed my view. After capturing it on camera I notice two different photos. One a clearer photo showing the uap and the other blurry but capturing something of interesting. With the clearer photo it is observed to be a pyramid shaped object with four assumed engines. Its visible to see them but can be seen more easily by editing it, (These are the original photos and are not edited). Also in this photo there is a visible haze that starts above it and flows back to the top of this uap. In the second photo I noticed an area of purple coming from the middle right part of the photo. This again is easier to see upon editing the photo, such as saturation and vibrance. Understanding the importance of original photos I have kept these as the original photos from that night. However due to the poor quality I do point to editing the photos to be able to clearly see this uap.

Tacoma, WA
As my flight from Seattle/Tacoma International airport to Dallas was making its initial ascent, I observed a very odd object that was descending below us headed generally NW and at a rapid pace. I was sitting in the first-class cabin on the left side of the aircraft looking out of my window. The object was a single unit that looked like three metallic red round orbs that were connected. It flashed across my view and seemed to be moving at a downward angle. During my frequent air travel, I have seen multiple small aircraft passing below my view, and they have always been easily identified as small jets or airplanes. This immediately caught my attention as an oddity. I estimate the size to have been about the size of a VW Bug. I can make the estimation of size purely on my perception of distance. Because the red metallic color was so clear, I believe the craft passed no more than 1000 feet below us. NUFORC Notte: We spoke via telephone with the source of the report, and we found him to be quite sober-minded. We suspect that he is an exceptionally capable witness. PD

My friend and I were in his horse pasture early in the morning. We were writing music in this time as it is our only free time outside of work. We did not spot a craft but rather moving lights that are definitely not satellites. We witnessed two faint red lights- one above the other in a vertical formation. They seemed almost attached to each other. Think of a baton with one light on one end and another light on the other. The lights were floating upward in the sky in a vertical formation then slowly turned horizontal whilst getting higher in the sky- then slowly faded out. We noticed about 10 minutes later- the lights were in the vertical formation again but were a few hundred feet from their original location.

At approximately 2100 hours on July 13th myself and three other witnesses Observed A White orange ball of ligh, this ball of light was maybe 150 yards away Facing East just hovering in the air about 100 feet in the Sky. It had the appearance of a streetlamp, however we live in the country and there are no streetlamps. As we watched this ball of light setting there not moving not flashing not making a sound I decided to grab my phone and start recording video. We couldn’t figure out what it was. We watched the light Approximately 6 minutes then it started moving to the northeast. it was very low to the ground moving very slow there was no noise whatsoever. the only noise was the noise of my pool as we were in the pool swimming when we witnessed the UFO. anyway as the aircraft started moving to the northeast it started changing shapes by the time it got in front of our house it had turned from a white ball and two a aircraft type vehicle. it was not a plane b! ut it wasn't a flying saucer shape it looked like a giant white ball of light with two other boss of light attached to it. The total sighting was maybe 10 minutes and once it took off to the North East it was traveling very slow but it just blinked out and disappeared. One thing to note, I am ex-military a trained observer I’m currently a security guard at a shipyard I know aircraft and this was not anything I have ever seen before. This craft was never more than 150 yards away and as it went from East to Northeast it got closer and it was maybe 200 feet off the ground, at that range you would hear something and it was dead silent ! I’ve never seen anything like it before in my life and I have witnessed other UFOs .I’ve seen giant triangles , I’ve seen orbs, I’ve seen the orange fireballs that just set and then take off mmovig, but this was completely different and I’ve got it all on video.

North Myrtle Beach, SC
Two events were recorded photographically at the exact same location 53 weeks apart. The location was at the coastline in North Myrtle Beach South Carolina. Event one occurred at sunrise on July 12, 2020 at 6:26AM. Event two occurred July 19, 2021 at 6:37PM. I only report and talk about sightings that are based on photographic evidence as I did in MUFON report 103691 (09-26-2019 Toledo, Ohio) and MUFON report 114460 (02-05-2021 Ft Myers, Florida). Unfortunately, the MUFON system tends to ‘bury’ photos and reports, making retrieval and dissemination to the public difficult. I have been reluctant to file these photographed events on MUFON for that reason. Event one was photographed at sunrise at the beach on 07-12-2020 at 6:26AM. The photos are from a collection of about 50 taken with a Nikon 300mm lens, over a period of about 11 from 6:21 to 6:32AM. Photo 1 is a wide-angle view that includes a man walking in the left side of the frame. Photo 2 is a zoomed-in view about one minute prior (6:26AM). Photo 3 is a closer zoom with three circled features as follows. Left Feature: ‘Water-Tower’ shape. Center Feature: a castle-like merlon projection. Right Feature: Platform with Square Peg. Event two was recorded 53 weeks later in 2021 using a high quality android phone and the same features were photographed again on the exact same section of beach. Photo 4 is a cropped version of the original taken on July 19, 2021 at 6:37PM. This late-in-the-day photo has a slightly different view of the same features in the same left to right positions. Photo 5 has highlights circled as follows. Left: ‘Water-Tower’ shrouded by dense white mini-cloud. Center: Merlon projections obvious. Right: Tall saucer sitting on Square Peg platform. I challenge anyone to say that these photos events do not represent the same craft. This ship has the appearance of being not man-made and also probably not of the grey alien variety that usually use very flat vehicles designed for their 40 inch stature. I worked for 35years as a product development chemist doing research and development for one of the worlds chemical giants. I have about 10 U.S. patents and authored a couple of personal hobby books in retirement. I have had a life time of trained observation and analysis work behind me. Unfortunately, when I see data I can’t look away.

Alien driving car, face to face encounter. As I was driving to get snacks I stopped at the stop sign and proceed to let the car to the right of me go. As it pasted me I thought it was a bald man. As the grey car (sorry not a car person I do not know make or model) gets halfway through the intersection I noticed this "man's" skin was very grey. My headlights were shinning directly in car. I proceed to move my gaze down the forehead and into the eyes. Where I saw two extremely black eyes looking back at me. My heart stopped when my brain understood that I was face to face with a grey alien who was driving a car. As he was pulling out he looked back at the road and drove away. I wish I thought to take a picture in those five seconds but I was in pure shock and terror. I've always believed they were out there but face to face with one is a shock that I was not ready for. I do not believe it was a mask in any form, the head moved to easily with no wrinkles in the neck area and the eye shape was not makeup the whole entire eye was oval. I know they can do magic with make-up but I am in the world of film and have amazing 20/10 vision . The chills that I feel when my gaze met "his" is enough for me to know, I came face to face with a grey alien today. They are here, with us, even driving our cars around. This is a lot to take in, we are not alone. The universe is huge its impossible that we are, but real confirmation with my own eyes, has me shook and it will for a long time.

Sitting on the second story deck about 10 PM. Dark cloudy night but the clouds started drifting apart. A few stars appeared then a VERY bright one which looked like three stars stacked right on top of each other. Thought it might be a plane but it did not move, then it began to wobble left and right while not leaving it's position. Then clouds came in and obscured it.

On July 11, 2020 at approximately 2200hrs, my son and I were on top of the roof after observing the local fireworks show. The fireworks had ended 5+ minutes prior to this. he was positioning his camera towards the constellation of the Big Dipper, in order to photograph comet Neowise, I noticed something moving. The object, as best as I can describe, was the shape of a stingray as you would see it in the ocean looking at its underbelly from below the stingray. This object moved quite fast right to left almost directly above us. My son also then saw the object and turned attempting to photograph it. I lost sight of the object after only maybe 3 seconds of seeing it move, but he said he saw the object make a turn and back track towards where it came from before losing sight of it. We both describe the object as almost translucent with no visible lights at all. Earlier I was flying my Typhoon Drone to photograph the fireworks, so the size was similar, but mov! ed much faster, so I am unsure if the object was 300 + feet above us, or higher and larger than the drone, though the speed tells me it was lower. Again this was not a drone or any type of aircraft I have seen in my 44 years on earth or as a police officer for over 20 years. It made no noise, and had no visible wings. The entire episode lasted maybe 3-5 seconds.

I was working on my hammock. I looked up and around 20 thousand feet maybe a few miles out I saw a massive white rectangular shape that was vertical over a cloud. It had a slight curvature. It appeared for a split second then vanished. Five minutes after the clouds above my house started heading in two opposite directions.
