I just happened to see this on the video feed for my Ring camera. At first I thought is was the street light until I saw the night sky light up and the wispy clouds in the air were illuminated with the slow passing of the bright light. It’s movements were like a drone in that it went up/ down and side to side very slowly, almost in a grid pattern. I watched this intermittently on Ring video from 3:25 am- 4:40 am. The object left my cameras viewpoint, towards the west. This was NOT an airplane. I’m no longer skeptical about UFO’s.

Le 14 juillet 2022, en soirée, dans le jardin de son domicile à Avrieux (73), le témoin attend les feux d’artifice des villages voisins lorsque vers « 22h15 » ou « 22h23 » selon son témoignage, il voit apparaître une boule blanche avançant dans le ciel, de manière rectiligne. Le PAN se déplace du sud-ouest vers le nord-est et est observé pendant environ 5 minutes par le témoin avant d’être masqué par une montagne. Ce témoin a eu le temps de faire une vidéo du PAN avec son téléphone portable. La consistance* est moyenne : un témoin unique et une vidéo du PAN peu exploitable, aucune donnée de contexte n’étant présente et visible. *selon les critères du GEIPAN, la consistance est la quantité d’informations considérées comme fiables et objectivées, recueillies pour un témoignage. L’enquête a établi que le témoin avait observé la station spatiale internationale (ISS) (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). Cette conclusion s’appuie sur les éléments suivants : - Forme décrite : une « boule », typique de la description faite par les témoins d’un satellite fortement lumineux, tel que l’ISS. Possibilité que le témoin ne décrive cette forme qu’à travers ce qu’il voit sur la vidéo, et non à l’œil nu. Aucune indication dans le témoignage ne permet toutefois de le confirmer. - Couleur blanche. - Durée d’observation d’environ 5 mn pour une visibilité totale maximale possible de l’ISS de 6 mn 30. - Présence effective de l’ISS dans le ciel aux alentours de 22h32, heure de création du support vidéo fourni par le témoin. - Déplacement rectiligne, selon une trajectoire orientée de manière cohérente avec celle estimée pour le témoin (apparition au sud-ouest et disparition derrière une montagne à l’est-nord-est, l’ISS n’ayant alors pas accompli l’intégralité de son parcours). Nous avons également démontré que l’environnement de l’observation, constitué de hautes montagnes, limite la visibilité du témoin qui ne peut observer l’intégralité du déplacement de l’ISS, avec une élévation initiale et finale de 10°, sans aucun doute située à ces instants derrière les montagnes. Le PAN est d’ailleurs perdu de vue, caché par une de ces montagnes. La vidéo faite par le témoin s’avère hélas peu exploitable, puisque ne permettant pas d’apprécier le déplacement du PAN. L’appareil utilisé, n’ayant pas correctement fait la mise au point, le PAN apparait flouté. Classification en « A », observation de l’ISS. [GEIPAN classification A — ISS]

My neighbor (Jean Smith) and I were outside talking when a bright orb caught my eye. I immediately pointed it out to my neighbor and I began recording. This was not an airplane or satellite. The sky shows a couple airplanes far off in the distance. This craft wasn't binking nor was there any engine noise. It was moving in a smooth direction but every few seconds it would jerk. Almost looked like I was seeing a "glitch." Not like a anything I've ever seen. Just odd how it was rotating and moving. The craft was incredibly bright, it was oval shaped and was rotating, making it look round at first until you fixed your sight better on the object. I have two videos. I attempted to move myself to get a better view on the other side of the pine tree. I followed the object until it flew behind a nearby hill. I had another sighting in late November 2021 around 8:00pm. I again was talking outside with the same neighbor when I saw a green ball off light swoop down and vanish. I didn't know to report it. Tonight, she admitted, she also seen green orbs not long ago. Feel free to contact me if you should have any questions.

Stirling, STIRLING · United Kingdom
Returning from evening fishing trip on Lake of Menteith driving on A873. Two white/yellow orbs stationary above high ground between Stirling and Gargunnock, smaller & duller light descended slowly down behind ridge line never reappeared, around 60 seconds later the second began flashing, lights changing colour/flashing similar to a mirror reflecting the sun. Began moving slowly in westerly direction following ridge line before dropping behind and out of sight. Shape only visible on second object, similar to a rugby ball.

Smyrna, TN
After having had a few days in a row of summer high heat, rain, & high humidity, yesterday was a nice and unusually low humidity day. After grocery shopping for a couple hours we left Walmart near 8:00 pm. With the unobstructed view from the parking lot I noticed the beautiful sky while walking to my car. It was near dusk. The sky was a clear blue (usually low humidity for us here), the few clouds in the sky were very high (for here) and were wispy and pink, due to being near dusk. After loading the groceries I stole one minute to myself and deeply took in the beauty of the sky. Got into the car to drive away and while still in the parking lot looked again at the sky. I noticed an odd object and asked the person with me to look at it and ask.what it was. They didn't have a clue. Then it dawned on me I had my phone to video it. I did so, fearing I'd miss it. But I didn't. I got it as it crossed a pink wispy cloud. It was very high in the sky at a great distance from me but it must have been large for me to be able to see it so clearly. It did not seem like a plane to us. My video is only 11 seconds. I stopped filming when I thought it had disappeared. But later when I cast the video from my phone to my large smart TV, I saw that it hadn't disappeared but had only turned dark. If I had known it was still visible to my phone I would have continued filming. I did notice that the shape of the object on my TV was different from how my naked eye saw it. I would have described it a spherical from my naked eye view but blown up on screen shots it has a bit of a triangular aspect to it but that may be due to the way light works when magnified. On a large monitor it should be easy to see. But to help you find it; if you see the shape of the pink cloud is similar to the silhouette of a cat running toward you locate its ears and head and then it's front legs. The video begins with.the object moving across the left armpit area of the cat shaped cloud. It moves upward and to the left across the "cat" shape. Then it turns dark before I stop filming.

Dayton, NV
I was sitting on my back deck watching a commercial plane in the distance. As I was watching the plane, a bright light suddenly appeared out of nowhere right above the plane. It hovered above the plane between the wing and the tail section. It just hung there in the sky for four seconds and then flew off, very fast, in the opposite direction from the plane. It flew for two seconds and just vanished. It was daylight, clear skies no clouds. It flew faster than the plane. PS: if you do contact me by phone, and if I miss your call, please leave a message and I will return your call. Thank you.

Clear blue sky, other aircraft in area of planes at their level and jets much higher up. Orbs about helicopter size. They stayed in the same spot without wind shifting them or their movement. Unusual to see in this air space. I took a phone photo. They vanished instantly from same spot. Have lived here for 2 years. Odd stuff.

Alamosa, San Luis Valley, CO
Was at the UFO Watchtower in Colorado in the San Luis Valley during the day. Took a series of photos. In two sequential photos I took there was an anomaly in one of the photos. A pinpoint white sphere observed in the second photo. I did not observe this sphere with the naked eye. Was very surprised to find this in the photo. There are airplane contrails observed in some of my photos (4th photo) and the sphere is not like the airplanes. I am a chiropractor and my husband is an engineer for the DOE at LANL. We live in Los Alamos, NM.

Franklin, OH
I saw a red glowing light, which I thought was a missile of some kind. It was flying rapidly from the direction of Germantown, Ohio in a Southeast direction toward Cincinnati, Ohio. It stopped at a certain point and stayed there. I ran in to notify a facebook friend to try and get a witness, but it was gone when I ran back out. I’m living in the most Western part of Franklin, Ohio, in Franklin Township. That’s all I know except that it was all red and not travelling in a perfectly straight line, but first straight, then it turned Westward and came to a stop. It was there and stopped for about 30 seconds before I thought to get a witness.

At approximately 845pm on 8 July 2002 I saw a solid orange sphere approximately 4 ft + in diameter fly straight into the bay (in and east to west direction) about 40-50 ft above the water. Then out of my sight. It was flying at about 50 meters/sec. No sound, no lights. Note: we live 8miles from Whidbey island naval base.

Welcome, MN
I have 8 pictures of this orb.. the difference is mine are in the day and most importantly i have one without he forcefield/lights on and you can clearly see the alien or craft. I would like a reasonable amount of money for the pictures as i believe they are very important and shocking. I am thinking 15 grand

Greenford, CITY OF · United Kingdom
At approximately 5:45pm outside my house, talking to a friend, i noticed a flicker of light approximately 65°NE and about 70° of elevation in the sky, which got brighter. So I kept my eyes on it while I was talking to my friend who asked what I was looking at. I told him while feeling embarrassed because I know that people normally think you're a fruit cake for even bringing the subject up, and although I let him go through what it could be, he came to the same conclusion. Going from light to dull it travelled 5°E stopped and approx 10° in elevation, we watched for about 25 minutes before having to go to a prior appointment and I also caught sum what of a video on my phone, please excuse for any bad language I do apologise.

Stirling, STIRLING · United Kingdom
Object appeared in the sky to the east of Bridge of Allan in Stirling, Scotland. It appeared to hover around for about forty minutes then disappeared temporarily. It came back into view and appeared to be moving southeast, in the direction of Falkirk. During this time it appeared to suddenly change diameter and appeared as a green sphere. It switched suddenly between the green large diameter state and a single spot of light. Some footage was shot through a window but I confirmed it was not an optical effect caused by the window previously, and the earlier videos were shot with the phone outside of the window. Some videos could not be uploaded due to file size but please email me if interested.

Hood canal a mile from good sport, WA
It was around 1 am when me and my brother in law were out on the deck in Hood canal when we see an orb rise from behind the mountains straight up to plane height and started moving to the left, then suddenly stops mid air as a plane passes by and continues to do so for every plane. At this time I decided to go get more people for confirmation so I went inside to get my cousin and sister they come out and instantly start saying the movements are insane...at that point I was just glad for the confirmation...we continued to stare at the orb moving back and forth and up, out of nowhere there were strobes of light around the orb. Me being a slight skeptic ran through every possibility of what this might be I checked planet charts and cross examined dozens of photos, and I can honestly say I have 0 answers for what that orb could possibly be as the movements and how the glowing light that would strobe were acting. I completely and fully believe we witnessed a unidentified flying object

Ormond Beach, FL
Multiple UFO Sightings in Ormond Beach, FL ORMOND BEACH, FL Wednesday, July 6th, 2022: 9:47pm On Wednesday, July 6th, 2022, at around 9:47pm, my friend and I were hanging out on the 4th floor (top level) ocean-front private balcony of my room at the Outrigger Beach Club Resort in Ormond Beach, FL, when my friend noticed an object in the very clear night sky over the Atlantic Ocean, maybe somewhere in the vicinity of the Delphinus constellation (referenced after the sighting). He said to me, while not averting his gaze, "Hey look at that. It looks like it came out of nowhere." He had later told me that he had been looking at that part of the sky before he noticed the object. When I looked up I saw what looked like an amber orb moving slowly from north to south. I initially thought that it could have been a plane despite an absence of flashing anti-collision lights. This light was solid and spherical. After less than 10 seconds, the light started to slowly dim and shrink until it completely disappeared. Convinced that we had possibly seen a UFO, my friend began to look up radar data on the web for both commercial and military aircraft. There were no planes in the area at that time. I later confirmed that the International Space Station was in the Pacific Ocean during our sighting. We began tracking planes on radar and watched a few of them fly across the sky and noted how their flashing lights remained visible. We ruled out a drone entirely as the object seemed too high and far away. Coincidentally, immediately prior to the sighting my friend had been shooting his high-powered laser into the sky. Also, for another strange coincidence, earlier in the day my friend took photographs of a black frisbee I was tossing against the backdrop of the beach as a mock UFO encounter. It was just going to be something funny we showed our friends. While I wasn't thinking about this at the time of our sighting, it remains serendipitous to me on a personal level. And not to place any emphasis on this but it occurred the same day the Georgia Guidestones collapsed and the day after CERN was reactivated. Also we saw the SpaceX launch the next morning on the 7th. Friday, July 8th, 2022: 7:15pm (time approximated) On Friday, July 8th, at approximately 7:15pm, I was in the Hot Tub at the Outrigger Resort when a teenager by the name of Hunter (from Tennessee) called my attention to an object he was observing under the moon. I had told him of our Wednesday Night sighting maybe ten minutes before so he may have been primed to be looking at the sky. While I turned up and to the right (I was facing the beach), Hunter (facing away from the beach) was trying to describe how close to the moon it was by measuring with his hand in his line of sight. I scanned the sky under the moon and didn't see anything, but when I swept my eyes much further below the moon to the Southwest I saw a stationary object. He had said it was originally beneath the moon and he had initially thought it could have been a falling drone when it moved. My instinctual mental reaction was that the object (it looked round but too far away to distinguish) appeared as if it were reflecting light within our atmosphere (it was still daylight) rather than emitting light. However, I would have been happy to call it a star or even a planet had I not turned away for 2 seconds and looked back to see that it was gone. That section of the sky was very clear. No clouds. Immediately after there was a plane approaching from the west but that is not the object we had seen. The object appeared almost white, but in retrospect could have been reflective silver. The Outrigger is approximately a mile-and-a-half from the Aliki Towers where in September of 2020 an alleged UFO was spotted above in the clouds.

Chicago, IL
My boyfriend and I were on his roof watching fireworks when I noticed a very bright light moving at a seemingly fast pace across the sky directly above James Russel Lowell Elementary. Fireworks had been going off in this same area above the school, so I was wondering if perhaps what I was seeing could have something to do with that. However, this light was so bright I, at first, believed it had to be an airplane or even a helicopter with a searchlight. After about a minute of watching the light, it appeared to slow its progression and remain in one area directly above the school while slightly moving back and forth. At this point my boyfriend took note of it, too, and I started recording on my phone. I zoom in on it a few times and it appears to have a circular shape with a distinct inner circle (that's the best way I can describe it). At about 15 seconds, I slowed the video down when the object/light is pulsing and took screenshots, and it seems to change shapes many times; the best way I can describe the most profound shape it took on (first image I will submit) is that of some sort of cell with an illuminated wall (or aura) surrounding it. About halfway through the video, you'll see that it seems to move downward, slowly at first, then drops rapidly out of our visibility behind the school. When slowing the video down, it appears as though it changes from a bright yellowish-white color to a red orb--it looks like not only the color changes, but it looks smaller in size, too, as it drops downward. I know this is not the best description, but in the images are very distinct, peculiar shapes, and I can't imagine what might produce this. If there is a logical explanation, like a drone, any kind of aircraft or otherwise, I would really like to know. Closest major intersection to the incident / where we live is North & Kedzie. We are located just behind the school on Beach Ave. Attached is the video and a couple of screenshots, however, if you slow it down you should be able to see and capture a few other shapes as well. I took many photos and videos last night in the same area above the school if that might be helpful, or if there is anything else I can provide, I'd be more than happy to do so. Thank you for your time.

Bass River Township, NJ
I couldn't sleep, and my roommate was up too. So the evening of July 3 (or morning of July 4 depending on your point of view) at 3:33am we decided to go for a drive, get some air, hopefully get tired enough to sleep when we come back after doing a few laps down the back roads. We were gone for about an hour. Came back, parked the car, sun isn't up yet so we're standing out front in the driveway, leaning against my car, just talking and looking at the stars as they slowly fade out behind the pre-dawn glow. Then I saw a UFO straight out of one of those conspiracy videos you can find anytime you google the term "UFO." Silver sphere, not entirely sure how high but my guess is a couple thousand feet and was probably about the size of a mid-size SUV. Two very bright searchlights - not sure if that's their actual function but that's what they look like from the ground - on the bottom swiveled around for a few seconds. Then it sped off, leaving a very short trail of glowing particles in its wake like when the Star Trek ships go to warp speed. Just vanished in the blink of an eye. The trail also vanished after about half a second. I was so amazed that I dropped my soda can on the ground, speechless for a few seconds just pointing up with my mouth hanging open. We started talking again, and about a minute later IT CAME BACK, or perhaps it was a second craft. Closer this time, directly over my head. My roommate saw it too. It hung there, directly overhead, for maybe half a minute before sliding sideways at incredible speed and vanishing again. Rough estimate, it moved maybe 200 feet sideways before it disappeared from view. Well, I know what a GPS satellite looks like from the ground. I know what a helicopter or small airplane or F-16 or 747 looks like from the ground. THIS WAS NOT ANY OF THOSE. And I know this is meteor season. I ALSO saw several meteors - shooting stars as you might call them - as well as this. This thing was NOT A SHOOTING STAR. It was a smooth, solid, metallic sphere with articulated light sources on the bottom only, and some kind of rapid acceleration device. If it was just a weird shape I would admit that it was possibly a man-made craft. But this thing moved laterally SO FAST side-to-side that nothing man-made could survive those G-forces, our welds and rivets would shake apart at that speed/force even on an unmanned drone (which I know because I used to build components for the aerospace industry)… and then it BLINKED OUT OF VIEW AS IF VANISHING FROM EXISTENCE, the motion was only visible for maybe a tenth of a second (travel distance maybe 200 feet) before it was just GONE leaving a sort of ion glow for just a second more almost like the northern lights. Then it blinked right back into view AS IF FROM NOWHERE a moment later in a different location, with pinpoint accuracy and instant braking. I'm not even sure if it was actually moving through 3-dimensional space at "light speed" or just teleporting. And it made NO SOUND. I'm in New Gretna, so at 4:30 am there is no noise out here, you can hear a pin drop from 2 miles away. This thing was right over my head, maybe half a mile up, and was completely silent. No engine noise, no exhaust noise, no rotor noise, no sonic boom as it moved at what appeared to be HYPERSONIC speeds at least, no sound of the air around it being disturbed as it passed by. This was not man made, nor a natural phenomenon. Of that I am certain. I did not get photos because it's super dark out, pretty high up, and I often forget that my phone has a camera attached. But my roommate just showed me a video someone else posted on TikTok THIS MORNING (7/17) from ARIZONA that depicted THE SAME TYPE OF CRAFT performing similar maneuvers but in a large group, looked like nine or ten in that instance. I saw the SAME PHENOMENON again in my back yard THREE MORE TIMES since then, as of July 17. I also had an experience with a creature that may be related to the craft, which I will file as a separate report.
