Davenport, WA
I witnessed a very bright sphere shaped object. It appeared to be sitting stationary above the hills on the horizon for approximately 8 minutes. We have an main airport, smaller airports and an Air Force base nearby, so we're used to seeing various planes and helicopters. It was close to sunset and I was walking my dogs at the time. The object appeared to be too large to be a star and too small to be the moon at that distance. It seemed to be about 3-4 miles out. I continued to walk with slowly with my dogs as I watched the object. However, at one point both of my dogs stopped and stared in the same direction as well. The object disappeared from view after approximately 8 minutes. I saw a plane fly through the area shortly after. The plane was easy to identify due to it's blinking light pattern and exhaust trail.

Since January, we have been seeing these and recently they have been increasing in the numbers and nights that they are seen. They can start bright and then dim...or they can disappear altogether. They are small and round and vary from yellow, white, red, and blue...they move across the sky and veer, never staying on a straight course. It varies in speed and height. They make no sound and they will slowly disappear into the sky. There can be multiple lights and multiple times that they will be seen. We don't think that they are satellites and they are not planes.

The orange orbs expanded and it was like flames but they became smaller again. I have a video of it but idk how to share it so I will share a screenshot from the video and I will zoom it in and put that.

I was laying in a chair at the pool at my apartment and noticed a small black sphere traveling just below the clouds. The object made no sound, had no tail, no lights, and was about the size of a car. I watched it travel at a consistent pace and altitude heading Northward. It was so quite that no one else noticed it. I tried to record it, but my phone was overheating from being in the sun. It was definitely not a drone and it definitely wasn't an airplane.

Wimberly, TX
At approximately 1:40 am I went outside to let the dogs go potty and to pee. After I peed, I noticed a bright light in the sky above some Live Oaks which were on my left. I didn't have my glasses on so I couldn't see what was making the light. But the light was so bright that it appeared to my unaided eyes as a spiderweb of light (like when you squint while looking at a light bulb in a dim room. The light appears as rays shooting out from the light bulb). This was my first indication that what I was seeing was not a star or planet. But it still could have been a low flying plane so I went back inside to get my glasses and phone. The sky was not obscured by many clouds and Wimberly is a dark sky City so I could see quite a few stars with my glasses on. And I could now see that the object was a white sphere in the sky. I watched for a moment as it slowly danced in the sky. It was dancing or "writing" relative to the surrounding stars and the canopy of the nearby Live Oaks. I caught about 2 minutes of it on camera. I will submit both the original video I shot and an edited copy. The edited copy is very interesting as I only zoomed in, brightened the background and added a vignette for reference (as my phone camera did not pick up either the stars or nearby tree canopy). When I saved a copy, the resolution changed to be much poorer. But that allows you to see that the object is actually rotating in the sky as it bounces around. Also you can see that is is not a star or planet as it is the only light in the frame, indicating that it is much brighter than the night sky, which indicates that the source of the light is in our atmosphere. At 10:15 am I got my compass and noted that the object appeared at 90 to 100 degrees East from my location in Wimberly, TX.

Wichita, KS
I was laying on my back in my backyard as the twilight was setting in. I was watching for satellites. I saw a few airplanes already and saw two satellites. When I saw this "UFO" I could not believe how fast it was going. It was much higher than the very thin cirrus clouds, large enough to see red/green/white. Regular satellites (like Starlink) I have seen take 30 to 50 seconds to go by the sky, and all go NW to SE. Aircraft are very common over Wichita and can be seen pulsing. What I saw went by so fast I was stunned by the speed that it crossed the sky. It appeared at least 10 times the size of a typical orbital satellite. I remember pointing at where I first saw it and where it was out of sight. It was a 90° arc of the sky from S to N, it zipped through that much of the sky in maybe 4 seconds. There were no streaks behind it, like a meteorite. I don't recall the exact time but it was near the end of nautical twilight. I have watched the night sky hundreds of times and seen thousands of satellites and planes, and "shooting stars". I have never seen anything go across the entire sky like this.

Wright City, MO
My son and I were standing in driveway,on a clear day, facing the garage and talking with my brother and his wife, who were standing in the garage. I noticed something shiny floating in the sky, about 100 yards above the garage, moving northwest to southeast. It looked like someone had lost a bundle of Mylar balloons. I called my brother and his wife out of the garage to look. To our surprise, what we thought were balloons, stopped moving across the sky, and started descending in a counter clockwise spiral pattern separated evenly from each other. They dropped in the spiral pattern approximately 30 yards and then paused in a group and just hovered for about 1-2 minutes. The silver looking spheres than started moving southwest, directly over the top of the four of us, while they proceeded to make a v pattern. The silvery spheres than started to change their shape from round to more arrow dynamic at the front, while their color changed to dark black.

Slidell, LA
The orb was coming from the west and the second was a little smaller n coming from the south. They were both moving fast towards the rising sunlight. The second moved more on a north east route n the first larger one was just booking it east. They disappeared along with the stars as the bright blue sky moved in. My camera was full so I couldn't take any pictures. This happened at my place in of employment while in I was on a break. I see planes all the time. I love that you can see so many stars out back by at night, very beautiful. So I'm out there all the time on break. I've never seen anything like this in the sky before. But I know what I saw. Definitely a bright white orb, bigger than what a jet liner looks like in the sky. I see those all the time. This was definitely different.

15-20 identical squares of white light moving in a straight line at a high rate of speed while maintaining an equal distances from each other. Think of a bracelet of square stone streached straight. Likely Starlink Satellites

Huntsville, TX
I am a retired Police Detective. I enjoy watching and photographing pretty sunsets just for my own enjoyment. On 7/22/22 I noticed there was a pretty sunset so I stepped out on my back porch to take photos of it with my cell phone. At 8:03 and 8:04 pm I snapped two quick photos of the sky. There was a single bright green orb in the sky that moved upward and went behind the clouds out of sight. I only had my phone set on photo mode and it was gone within seconds. I realize the time stamp is 8:03 and 8:04 but it was less than 60 seconds. I waited to see if it reappeared to try and video the object, but it did not return into view. There was no sound that I could hear; no streaks; it went in an upward direction not falling. It did not change colors and I saw mo debris.

After exiting AMC theatre looked up at storm clouds forming & noticed a fast moving silver ball or sphere heading NW and upward...it kept rapidly moving in a straight line and all of a sudden it turned solid black and then disappeared! sorry no photos as I was stunned and only lasted about 20-30 seconds!! Thought at first it was a balloon but it never bobbed in the wind or changed its trajectory! It was perfectly round.

Malibu, CA
A silver sphere sat over the coast of Malibu along the PCH. The sphere was stationary, remained in one location at about 200-400' in the air. The object blinked in and out of being visible for a moment, then completely vanished. The weather conditions and visibility were excellent, clouds were near, but did not effect ability to see the craft.

4 orbs flying north came in to veiw July 21 2022 @ approximately 930pm. 3 we're very visible making the belt of Orion, which is normally over my house. I was amazed at the sight until I saw them move. That's when I noticed the 4th orb who seemed to be watching the 3 but from a distance. As they made their way north they changed positions so effortlessly to make a perfect obtuse triangle. They were flying so high, planes passed under them. It was amazingly awesome and scary all at once. I have video but it won't let me upload them to your system.

While sitting on the back deck of our cabin, my wife and I noticed a strange object flying in a northeasterly direction. The object appeared to be a white sphere and was in our view for about 30 seconds. It had no wings and did not leave a contrail; it was just a round, white ball. I would estimate the altitude at about 10-12k feet. Our property is apparently in an approach corridor to Washington-Dulles Airport and, as commercial jets pass overhead (usually at about 15-20k feet), we always hear the engines. The object we observed was totally silent for the entirety of the sighting and afterwards. I then checked a smartphone app that shows real-time air traffic, and there was no flight reported to be in the area at the time of the sighting. The speed of the object was difficult to determine. I would estimate it at about the same as a commercial airliner, although that is a complete guess in my part; regardless, it would have been at least several hundred miles per hour. The size of the object was also difficult to determine, and I really don’t have a good guess for it; my best estimation is that it was smaller than a commercial airliner. The object continued in a NE’ly direction until it passed out of our view behind the tree line. There did not appear to be any lights on it.

Wingless sphere with (military?) helicopter close behind flew directly overhead at very low altitude. Sphere made no noise, as when overhead noise clearly only coming from heli.

Cosby, MO
At approximately 9:30pm on Tuesday, July 19, 2022 three orbs of light were spotted in the southern sky. My mom and dad and younger siblings spotted them first; they then called me out and I saw them. The light orbs formed a staggered line. They emitted a white light that did not change color. They just floated in the air, stationary until the one on the far left disappeared—either literally “winking out” or simply moving further south, away from us at a good speed (it was hard to tell which it was). A couple of minutes later, the next one in line did the same thing. About a minute-90 seconds later, the last one did the same thing. No sound was ever heard at any point of the sighting. None of us had been drinking and none of us take controlled substances and no one in our family has a history of hallucinations or flights of fancy.

It had been a very hot day in the UK, about 105F and my wife and I decided to sit in our garden at around 11.45pm as it was too hot to sleep because very few homes here have air conditioning. We have been learning to meditate and decided to try it outside. We live in a quiet area with little light pollution. After around 15 minutes, I opened my eyes to see a small point of white light at a very high altitude. We live on the flight paths of a number of airports and know what aircraft look like after dark. This light had no red and green wing lights. It was moving east across the sky. I pointed it out to my wife and we saw the light stop, then it started to descend. The light grew bigger and bigger until it stopped. It was around double the size of a U.S. quarter at arms length. The sphere looked like an illuminated diamond of beautiful colours. It looked like it was observing us for around 10 seconds before ascending again and carried on moving eastwards.

Dans la nuit du 16 au 17 juillet 2022, une résidente de Châtillon (92) (T1), accompagnée de son fils (T2), observe le ciel depuis son domicile. Elle aperçoit alors, au-dessus de la Défense, une sphère lumineuse se déplaçant à très haute altitude. Cette sphère, d'une grande luminosité et d'une taille apparente disproportionnée pour son altitude, ne présente aucun clignotement. Elle traverse le ciel à grande vitesse et disparaît rapidement du champ de vision du témoin. Un seul témoignage a été recueilli. D'étrangeté faible et de très bonne consistance* (deux témoins, vidéo du PAN), ce cas s'avère être une observation du passage de l'ISS (International Space Station). *selon les critères du GEIPAN, la consistance est la quantité d'informations considérées comme fiables et objectivées, recueillies pour un témoignage. En effet, l'enquête a établi que l'ISS traversait le ciel à l'heure indiquée, selon une trajectoire et une hauteur angulaire très cohérentes avec celles indiquées par le témoin (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). L'étrangeté perçue par le témoin, décrite comme une « boule », résulte en réalité de l'interprétation d'une image zoomée extraite de la vidéo. Le phénomène y apparaît par moments sous la forme de deux cercles concentriques, une configuration caractéristique d'une image défocalisée, en lien avec les conditions de prise de vue : enregistrement nocturne à l'aide d'un téléphone tenu à la main, l'appareil étant dans l'incapacité de faire la mise au point sur le phénomène. Certaines séquences de la vidéo montrent néanmoins que le PAN présente une forme ponctuelle, cohérente avec une source lumineuse lointaine. Le cas est classé « A », observation d'un passage de l'ISS.

Laramie, WY
Bright object the evening of the 15th of July. Looked like a balloon through binoculars but was totally stationary above the cloud layers. Saw it again the 16th during the day. I’m a commercial pilot and cannot explain why it is above the cloud layers and is absolutely stationary and high altitude. It continued to reflect sunlight well after our sunset. No notams are filed for anything related to a stationary or tethered balloon. Called the Cheyenne Wyoming NWS and they had no relative information but told me they did not launch balloons, just the Riverton Wy NWS. It isn’t moving regardless and is very high unknown to the FAA from the information I can see.

this report is for bfracone.@yahoo.com 2 reports already filled out #36361 case number 123318/123317 Spoke to Frank Frascone over the phone with details about the who what why and how. This is not an abduction but a contact made to me by a demonic entity. This is all true and the nature is under spiritual warfare. I have been tagged or chosen like alien does when they beem up a human. Except I have been given a frequency by these evil entities which allow me to have telekinesis to hear them in my head and out in the air only at a frequency attune to my ear. These plasma orbs are manifestation of electromagnetic frequency and they have biochemically enginered this frequency to enter my body to see everything from my vision to my dreams to invade all my life . They can tell me every event that has occured since I was born. And worse they are in my body to increrase my pule to give me a heart attack when they feel like it.

Easiest for me to do is cut copy and paste this from my social media account First let me start with a couple of things about me; I have been a fulltime paramedic for going on 30 years and for the past 7 years a paramedic field supervisor, locally in the Tampa Bay area. Why do I feel this is worth mentioning? Training. I am trained to objectively observe things, several things at once in a high impact stressful environment. Patient condition and much much more. I have also been trained in investigations, being a supervisor a lot of times I must gather evidence, data, testimony and more to handle incidents or situations with our staff or the public. In all our training we are always reminded to remain objective, gather facts and evidence before concluding anything. Friday night (7/15/2022) between 7 pm and 730 pm in the evening, I was outside getting the grill ready to fix dinner. Now, I will tell you I live in Florida, just south of the city of Tampa on the Gulf Coast. Near me I have 2 commercial airports; Tampa International, St. Pete / Clearwater International, several small private airfields and then lastly MacDill AFB which is just off to my northwest. This is Hurricane hurricane/rainy season so while getting the grill going, I was checking the sky around me after hearing a couple rumbles of thunder in the distance to see if I needed to move my grilling dinner up onto the front porch. Seeing the clouds were forming off to my north and west it appeared that I had plenty of time and proceeded to lean up against my car waiting for my grill to finish burning so I could cover it and get ready to BBQ. While leaning up against my car and looking at the sky I could not help but notice a bright star-like object in the sky. It was definitely bright enough to grab your attention and seemed like it was more like a planet with the off to the west nearing sunset time. I thought about that for a minute while looking and realized that was not possible, working overnights like I do and following some basic astronomy the “parade of planets” has been on going in our morning sky between 4am and 6am, at that time we have been able to see 5 of our solar system neighbors; Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune. It was awfully bright to me if in fact it was a star, it was the only one visible. I sat staring at this object for a couple minutes when I decided to grab my phone out of my pocket grab a quick pic/video of it and then see if my Sky Safari app can help me solve the mystery. Now, this is where shit gets pretty cool. So, I got my camera up on my phone glanced back up to see where it was, I could see it was still just appearing like it was stationery so I quickly snapped a picture and then flipped to video to see if I could get a clearer image and zoom in. I started to record the object and began to talk so that I had some details matching the video and voice together. I rambled on about seeing the object, being in Florida and blah blah blah like a Charlie Brown school teacher for a few more seconds when the video stopped recording on its own, I had not stopped recording. A little message popped up on the bottom of my screen saying something like "internal camera failure" and exited camera mode to my home screen. (More details on this later so read on!) I was looking upwards at around a 60-75° angle, looking almost due south. It is close to 7:30p on Friday, July 15th, 2022, with an evening temperature with humidity at about Dragon's breath or somewhere in the mid 90s with high heat index. The trees that you see in the video next to the garage stand about 12-15 feet tall (The palm leaves are basically level to the peak of the garage). I had a great reference point, could clearly see the object still appearing like it was not moving so I quickly checked my camera to see if the picture and video saved, it did. Any time I have had a camera fail happen like this, it is almost always when attempting to open the app of as you snap a picture or hit record. I have never had my camera fail mid recording and worth noting, any failure I have had trying to take a photo or video, it has never saved, and I have had to start over again. So having the video capture and 1 photo, I proceeded to pull up Sky Safari to locate my star or planet. When I looked back up to my reference point and its entire surrounding area, the object was gone. I had been watching this object for at least 2-3 minutes in total, the object did not once appear to be moving, in any direction and now it is no longer there!!! With the Sky Safari App calibrated and ready, I pointed in the direction of where the object was and did find 1 possible match, Zubenelgenubi. It is one of the brighter stars in our night sky, but this is not yet a night sky and there are no other stars to be seen, anywhere. Also, Zubenelgenubi would have only been about 45-50 degrees up on the horizon which would have forced me to have X-ray vision to look through my neighbors' homes, like I said, I was looking upwards about 60-75 degrees. Living where I do, I am always used to the sights and sounds in the skies around me, like I said, several airports, a military base and plenty of medical, tourist, private, news and law enforcement helicopters... Not counting the 5 branches of military helicopters that fly in and out of MacDill plus Coast Guard. Almost daily I will see or hear helicopters fly directly over the house and when they are hovering, they are noisy! This made no noise that I could hear, which would include the winding like noises of drones, which fly overhead quite often as well. The other strange thing I noted, the absence of birds. I live about a mile in a half from the Gulf of Mexico nestled nicely in central Florida, birds!?!?? Yeah, lots of them are always flying around chirping like crazy, it is evening time which for a lot of our poultry foul like friends means feeding time. To match the coloring of what I was seeing in the sky, white, here are the birds off the top of my head that I could think of; Seagulls Egrets Storks Doves Ibis Pelicans Cranes Herons Not counting the white birds in our area, there are plenty of other birds that are always out during this time especially when the neighborhood cats are outside wreaking havoc. Mommaz and Thumby. 2 cats that rule the neighborhood most all hours of the day and night. I mention part because normally I can tell you where in our neighborhood these 2 troublemakers are by listening and watching the Blue Jays. They are territorial as hell, hate cats, squawk, and dive bomb them trying to shoo them away from their trees... Mommaz, was laying under my car. These Blue Jays should have lost their ever-loving mind on her laying there and....Nothing, silence. I was not convinced just yet that what I saw was something unknown and then proceeded to check Sky Safari for the “Big Objects” The ISS (International Space Station) and Hubble Space Telescope. Neither one of these had any orbit crossing over the state of Florida during that time frame. I could easily rule out anything from NASA or Elon’s SpaceX as the location of those from my vantage point were, north northeast of me (about 90 degrees from where I am looking and well out of my peripheral vision) and those launches do not typically happen during this time of night. (And there was nothing scheduled) So I went to my satellite tracking app and checked times and satellites and found 69 objects in space that were over the western hemisphere between 7:00 pm and 7:30 pm but, not 1 of them were crossing the south, yet alone Florida. The tracking app did list a few bigger satellites that were going to be visible and times but nothing that matched my time stamps. The next day while at work I spoke with a colleague of mine about it, he is a full-time professional pilot who works commercially and has access to flight tracking that most of us dream about. We sat and watched dozens and dozens of planes flying over the skies during that
