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

I was on the passenger side of the car, family of 4. Husband driving on Interstate 87. He noticed the moving glowing object in the sky. I rolled down the windows to take photos with my phone outside the window and also through the windshield. It travelled across the sky from my right to left. It looked like a white object with a large tail of light coming from it spreading out. It was moving pretty quickly. After I took the photos, I tried to change to the video option. As I was doing that my husband and son said it simply vanished/disappeared. Looking back at the photos there are some other strange lights that we did not see ourselves with the naked eye. The other lights when taking the photo through the windshield is problem simply from the inside car radio, etc. The lights when I took the photos out the window are a mystery. Before I took the photos we did see regular aircraft higher up in the sky. I wonder if they reported it.

Small, bright semicircle of light with three light beams off its back taking up a lot of the sky as it headed from the SW to the NE general direction, very high in air, about ~45 degrees, and only visible for a couple of minutes.

A bright yellow/white light with fine "webs" (like spider web strings) attached in all directions, forming a sphere. It caught my attention because the sky is otherwise dark and I could see it from my window. It was too bright to be a star, so I thought it must be a reflection in the window of something, but no, when I opened the window and peeked through, it was there hovering in front/above my neighbours house. It slowly moved, so slowly you could barely see to move but it came closer to me and then moved further away again, now my view is blocked by my neighbours balcony. The picture I have looks nothing like it actually looks like at all. I had a crystal clear view in plain sight.

It’s a cool night with great visibility. I went out on the deck around 9 pm, looked to the SSE which affords the greatest sky view, and observed with the naked eye what I thought was a cluster of flashing lights. I pulled out the binoculars and saw a single faint red light darting to and fro’ about 30 degrees off the horizon. The object appeared to be at a great distance and its movements were rapid across a large area. The light “flashed” at each new position, all of which was random, none of which was patterned or repeated. There was no light trail from site to site or sound. My wife also witnessed the phenomenon, telling me that the pattern “looked like an umbrella.” I did not see any such pattern.

Hinckley, MN
In the sky we noticed the bright planet to the east and another very bright orange light just staying in a low position but lined up with the planet. This orange light was in the south west side of the sky. I got out to film it and noticed it staying in one spot then as I tried to focus my camera it would not focus it started to move pretty fast then the lights started to rotate mimicking blinking. As it moved over my truck and kids there was no sound and it looked like a shape of a boat (looking up at a boat with a point tip) all Three dimensional It moved fast towards the north. As we are driving east we see the bright planet and now see the same lights comping back towards that planet it did a complete circle . 4 other lights red colored align to make a square. They then fade away.

On an exceptionally clear night my girlfriend and I stood in our yard stargazing, a regular hobby of ours. I wouldn't say it happens a lot but with a fair amount of regularity we saw what first appeared to be a star stationary in the sky then we realized it was not a star as it began to move. This was not at all close, infact it was so far away at times it was hard to fallow m, though we have seen them much closer. This particular time though, it was far off, we know it was not a shooting star or a plane based on its movements and speed of travel. It moved left with steady speed across what had to be hundreds of miles an hour, then moved quickly up, quickly down, then further left. Down then to the right before disappearing this took approximately 3-5 minutes. We then got into our car to drive up to her father's house half a mile away. We got out the car and decided to look again, we again saw what appeared to be the same or similar ball of light type object this time a bit closer. Take in mind when I say a bit closer it was not at all close to us, just closer than pervious. Without paying attention it would definitely appear as nothing more than a star. It moved in simular ways as it had just a few minutes prior for aprox 1 min I checked the box for I would like to be contacted by an investigator, only because I'd be happy to answer questions should one have any but I don't have any need currently to speak to one, I just wouldn't mind if I could be of any assistance. Also as I stated this has happened multiple times but I'm only filling out 1 form. I only just found this site, but will report any that happen in the future. We had an entirely different sighting at a different location I will file a separate report on. The location this happened happened to be the same location (same family farm even) where cattle were found mutilated in 1995 or 94 I believe.

I was facing towards lake erie smoking a cigarette on break and noticed an odd light and decided to film it. It did not change direction but continued on a b-line in a northeast direction. At approx the 3min mark of the video it can be seen crossing paths near an identifiable airplane as well. There was a slight pulse observed as it got closer but then disappeared behind the clouds. This object moved against the wind and it was fairly windy on this night. I am an avid sky watcher and an airplane nerd, I know what this isn't but no idea what it is.. could be swamp gas. The video is too large to upload on here so I'll include this link as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-CW2LaWfvc Also this was reported to mufon as case# 125656

It was the sound of it that brought my husband and I outside. We looked in the sky from our front door and looked toward the dump/landfill and there appeared to be an airplane in the sky, but the sound was too loud for where the object was. It sounded as if it was directly over our home, but it was a few miles away. The difference between the object and an actual plane is the lights blink quicker and never turn 'off'. The sound went "in and out" like really loud then lowered until there was no sound. In addition, the sound worked in tandem with the lights; as the lights brightened the sound grew louder and as the lights dimmed the sound grew quieter. The object moved from left to right in the sky and moved in a linear motion. I was never able to see the craft itself, I only saw the lights. Finally, once the noise ceased and the lights were no longer visible, I couldn’t see the object anymore but suddenly there was an easily identifiable airplane to the direct left of where I was standing. The sound never came back and I couldn’t see the object in the sky again. My husband and I witnessed this together. While my husband is skeptical that it was a “UFO”, he agrees it was an unusual experience.

Multiple flashing lights not moving very quickly from my vantage point. Seemed to be in a formation. Lights flashed very bright even in the daylight. Objects seemed to be at a far distance.

Arlington, WA
I witnessed a blue light on the norther horizon. I would first like to confirm that this light was not Venus, which I have seen many evenings. This light was about twice that of a commercial airliner, and silently hovered in the air (much lower than an airliner would). As I looked at it in the sky, its light appeared to expand and contract (as if it were operating on a dimmer switch). After oscillating its light several times, it moved in a circular motion twice, dimmed its light, and then disappeared almost instantly.

Virgin, UT
We were in a private, super dark property and very secluded place near Zion Park. It was a perfect night for stargazing and we enjoyed every second until these 3 light disk objects appeard in the sky moving at the same time into different directions and able to go back to their previous location faster than humanly possible maintaining perfect distance from each other. It was high enough in the sky that at first they look like stars until they started moving in such a very specific way. They will get closer to each other, spread apart and collectively moved in independent directions. We stayed out for about 30 minutes and it was so intimidating at that point that we just went back inside the property and never talked about it again until today that we decided to report it.

West Milford, NJ
At 5:46 AM I saw a bright white light traveling northwest to southeast while in my front yard, walking my dog. It did not have blinking lights, just bright white. The sky was still dark as the sun had not yet risen. Other stars, such as Orion's belt, were still visible. This light was as bright as the brightest star in the sky. The flight path originally looked straight, but I soon noticed it swerving, like a car in a 3 lane highway swerving between lanes. I have seen this at least 2 other times now, all exhibiting the same characteristics. It appeared very far away, no details about the shape could be seen, only that it was a bright light.

Phoenixville, PA
At about 1:00 AM on Tuesday, Sept. 20, my two dogs woke me to be taken outside. While outside, I noticed a rapidly flashing object moving in a westerly direction to the South of my home. Might have been at 2,000 - 5,000 feet in altitude. The object constantly changed in color (white, yellow, red or orange) as it moved through the sky, which it didn't do in a typical, linear fashion. It seemed to move erratically on short diagonals, like a search pattern. I couldn't easily make out the shape of this object from my vantage, and the alternating lights also made it hard to see the object's shape. The light was distinctive enough to see it through the branches of a large tree. This sighting made me extremely uneasy, and once business was attended to, we immediately went inside.

Half Moon Bay, CA
I am a little freaked out because it is actually the third time I have seen this. The first time I saw this was on Sept. 9, 2022 and reported it to this website. The second time I saw it was just a single fast moving light glow at 10:10 moving it the same trajectory and in the same area of the sky. So I started watching when I could and when the sky was clear around the same time of night. And just like the night of the 9th, tonight at exactly 10:07 I saw an identical pair of lights that moved in exactly the same way. There were two cool-colored soft glows traveling from the southeast to the northwest parallel to the coastline. They travelled one behind the other at a high altitude and lasted about 3 seconds and then faded away. They covered approximately 30 degrees of view during their travel and were separated from each other by about 5 degrees. They were moving far faster than a satellite and they didn't look like meteorites. I am going to continue my routine of watching around 10:00 to see if the pattern continues and I encourage others to do the same.

Lebanon, OR
My girlfriend and I felt a vibration for about 15 minutes, then I went outside and looked up to see a bright light moving slowly across the sky before disappearing into an invisible object. Another light came from another direction being chased by two helicopters and one airplane. One of the helicopters landed in Lebanon for a few seconds and then left not to be seen again. The vibration ended when the first UFO disappeared.

Summerville, SC
On an evening walk, I thought I saw a shooting star; however, when I stopped to look, it was a string of 10 lights—similar to the Earthlink formation but much shorter. These lights were moving across the sky in a band and rotating together from and angle to flat and then back to angle. About 45 seconds to a minute after spotting the light formation, the lights flickered out and completed faded or disappeared. I video recorded a portion of my sighting.

I witnessed this object moving across the Horizon behind the houses, it’s big enough to be seen clearly like moving lights on the side of a ocean freighter
