Vancouver, WA

Lights irradically appearing&varying intensity from not there@all-BIGGER&BRIGHTER than even CLOSE jumbo jets,Saw them go from 2 BRIIGHTTT WHITE LIGHTS, (BIGGER AND BRIGHTER THAN ANY/ALL-STARS/THINGS in the sky, about 2 fingers extended at arms length apart and slightly uneven most of the time. But have seen up to 4 lights total, ALL ALWAYS appearing RIGHT AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE RIDGELINE of Gifford Pincho forest LOOKING DIRECTLY EAST OF HIGHWAY 500. Its LITERALLY GOING ON RIGHT NOW! Last night they started around 11pm, and stayed clearly visible til 1am, then it would be active for about 20min intervals. It is NOT* A FLEETING RARE GLIMPSE OF AN EVENT! I'm 100% sure if u just sat outside for a half hour, THIS WILL BLATANTLY DEMAND UR ATTENTION!! I've had to get both my folks up around midnight, who NEITHER BELIEVE or even CARE about these kinds of things.. UNTIL they walked outside! And they couldn't even register what they were CLEARLY SEEING. Then the following morning/afternoon I felt like I HAD to tell my neighbors, if nothing else, ATLEAST to explain why they kept seeing me standing on top of my car with BINOCULARS the past few nights til the wee hours of the morning, staring in directions of nothing but dense forest farther than you can see. I live just this side of the last main street at the edge of the Suburbs-Rural farmland. Just across the street is nothing but un/under developed farm land. There are multiple stores, gas stations, restaurants ect. up&down the (N-S) street, 162nd. But NOTHING on the east side of it. So theres as little of light pollution as possible. I'm also just a few miles away from the PDX, where I've lived by the last 30yrs. So I've submitted all the flight paths and what all the aircrafts look like to memory. I'm 35ish, disabled night owl with no kids, no wife/gf, noone to distract me or requiring my attention except a doggo. I'm also a STRONG BELIEVER and ACTIVE SEEKER* of proof.. Point is, theres NOONE ELSE* more tailored to be more consistent, persistent, AVAILABLE and Active and therefore likely to see anomalies in the sky than me! I swear on EVERYTHING every word I've written here are 1000% TRUTHFUL ACCURATE AND HONEST! I read probably 75 sighting reports, n I'd say maybe half of them kinda seemed like bogus. Either because they sounded absolutely outlandish and didn't exude believability/honesty. Or because they say something INCREDIBLE! But have no details or specific details. Thats why I've LITERALLY BEEN WRITING THIS for an HOUR AND A HALF because thou III may know I'm telling the truth, I feel kinda obligated to portray the sincerity so hopefully people will go out and WITNESS this stuff for themselves so we can start to uncover the explanation of these things. I DO have my own personal hypothesis about what may be going on, but after scrolling up and seeing that this is ALREADYY the LONGEST, ABUNDANTLY DETAILED report this site has ever had, I'll spare you the rest of the novel.. THIS REPORT IS SOO LONG because its ABSOLUTELY TRUE! And I KNOW that if you live anywhere from probably Oregon City, OR-ish, to about probably Olympia, WA. Virtually any where in the valley of the i-5/i-205 corridor where you can see the tallest Gifford Pincho Forest Ridgeline. And I haven't traveled to Idaho, but theres nothing to impede you line of sight as far as I know from the i-5 corridor, and even all the way to the coast, to across the forest, (from coastline to about the Washington/Idaho border.) So theres *ALOTTT OF PEOPLE* that could potentially witness this if they just WALKED OUTSIDE and WEREN'T staring EXCLUSIVELY DOWN at their phone! What I can say FORRR SUREEE!! Is that this has been SOO-THE BIGGEST AFFIRMATION and REASSURING LIFE EVENT that its ABUNDANTLY RENEWED and CONFIRMED my drive/desire to get up when I may no necessarily WAAANT TO go outside and stare outside for hours. But this is so FANTASTICALLY UNEXPLAINABLE and IRRADICALLY INCONSISTENT and ANOMALOUS, It just COULDN'T be a man made device/formation ect. No matter how FAR AND LOOSE I streeetch my imagination, theres STILL-ZERO PLAUSIBLE logical explanations! So if you're ANYWHERE over here in the i_5 corridor area from Canada to California, look east towards paralleling highway 500 and give it just 15-30min(if its not ALREADY active) and I'll bet you'll be in for a MAAAJORRR STUMPER! I started writing this report at midnight, and its now 3am exactly, and of the 5x's I checked, every half hour, 3 of them it was ACTIVELY going on when I walked outside. I didn't have to wait. So PLEASE SOMEONE AT THE VERY LEAST TAKE A PEAK OUT THERE WHEN 7 CAN between 11pm-3am and PLEASE give me your opinion on WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON! Happened the nights of 8-2, 8-4, and 8-5-23. Saw something similar, but only lasted 10 or 15sec on 5-20-2023 at exactly 11:45pm, and PROBABLY a bunch times since then but I've been having intermittent medical issues that've kept my majorly bedridden the last 2-3mo. So itss VERYYY LIKELY been occurring the past cple mo. based on the consistency of the last week of which I first saw it. I can't explain whats going on exactly, but what I CAN SAY as previously mentioned, its SO AMAZINGLY UNEXPLAINABLE that tho I have no explanation for it, I KNOW I'D OF BEEN INCREDIBLY REMISSED if I hadn't witnessed it at all. And BTW I'm SURE anyone reading this is screaming at me thru the screen, "IF IT WAS SOO CLEARLY OBVIOUS AND LASTED FOR HOURS, WHERE ARE THE PICS!?!" But I only currently own an older-free govt. Cell phone which I haven't used for 2yrs., "Since cellphones are obviously *NOT* GOOD for CANCER, Of which I have stage 4 hogdkins lymphoma for 1, and for 2, Like i said its a CRAPPY, Probably 8yr. Old model anyway and the camera is virtually USELESS. Besides that I have a shotty tablet with an EQUALLY as useless camera. So I TRIED! But I need to go get some type of camera ASAP while this CRAZY PHENOMENON is actively present. But I've written SO MUCH ALREADY, I HIGHLY DOUBT ANYONE is still reading. But ALL THE INFO & EVERY DETAIL I KNOW are ALL RIGHT THERE for you to go and see this for yourself! PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHATS GOING ON HERE!! You can contact me directly at my secondary email, (since my primary one has my full name I'm using my OLD ONE here for this), at "Luckymistake69@yahoo.com" BE SAFE, LOOM UP, AND SORRY FOR THE NOVEL! But it DOES SAY to include AS MANY DETAILS I can! "Huge apology to the person/analyst/case worker responsible for reviewing my report.. HOPE YOU LIKE TO READ!"

Etna, OH

Two orbs of light followed me and my Fiancé on our drive home, at the first opportunity I had to get a clear visual recording of them I turned on my camera. I'll stick to just the details that can be seen on video. The two orbs hung stationary in the air, and to the naked eye didn't appear to be changing in size or changing colors, but on my phone screen as I was recording, I noticed that they appeared to be "popping" in and out, they resembled a flat circle that was getting larger and smaller with no rhythm to the change in size. There did initially appear to be synchronicity between the two objects but upon placing the raw video into a postFX software known as Sony Vegas, I overlaid a chroma key to isolate the two objects from the sky around them and went through the video frame by frame, upon further inspection I realized that not only were they getting larger and smaller, they were in fact merging for milliseconds at a time, changing colors through the entire "visible" spectrum, and changing shape. At one point they both appear to split into three objects each, with each having its own unique shape and color. The lighting appears to be synchronized throughout most of the frames, and the shapes they took all appeared to be geometric in nature. We both felt a sort of empathetic connection to these objects, we felt fascination and curiosity, and the overwhelming knowledge that they were presenting themselves to us specifically. These objects followed us to Eisenhower highway before disappearing, but as we drove further I realized they were actually overlaying the trees and houses as we drove past them, by this I mean that I could see the two objects overlaid on top of material that should have hidden them from view.

Northvale, NJ

Light (white in color) appeared steady at times and appeared to move short distances in irregular pattern. At 1 point shape seemed to change from circular to a hexagon type shape. There was a distant aircraft in the long video that came into view briefly. I tried to keep camera steady, but did move it to accommodate the aircraft (blinking light) that came into the lower right of the frame. Unknown if aircraft was in position to observe unknown craft.

Ocala, FL

I saw multiple large objects with small tiny objects next to some of the larger objects. The smaller ones would change from straight line to a circular formation. When I tried to video, my screen went black. Someone else has witnessed and posted to YouTube. I do have pictures, and a zoomed in picture of object that is not a drone/flock of birds, or anything I have ever seen.

Carlsborg, WA

At about 35 deg. elevation. Resembled two or more sort of amorphous adjoining orbs, white in color. Didn't appear to be moving in any particular direction. One side occasionally became brighter or caught the light somehow. It was a clear blue day, no clouded whatsoever. After a couple minutes it just faded out. I saw it briefly again when I'd traveled maybe 4-5 miles and was east of Sequim. It was farther away and just appeared as a light, than winked out.

We stepped outside to do a balloon release around 11:40 p.m. last night and we looked up and saw to the right it looked like two objects it could have been one but one object looked like a rectangular shape it could have been see-through translucent or something it looked like it flipped and right beside it was a object with two green lights on the back of it

Strange orange glow sw sky abt 15 miles. Kept moving to ne. Gaged movement against stable tree. Approx speed 35-40 mph. Moved steadily. No wind no other clouds. Continued in my direction. When I realized how close it was i ran for house. Looked out window. Mass was coming across drive way touching ground looked like like a fog touching ground. Moved on over to the NE. Cant see that direction from my house. Don't know what it was, but there was no wind and very few smaller cloud and the mass glowed from within.

Speedwell, TN

I was in my driveway at 37724 zip code, Cumberland Gap TN at 11:15pm EST noticed light white color blinking and solid light. UAP believed to be at Very high altitude above all nearby aircraft that came into view then flew out of view within minutes (commercial or military) were lower than the UAP to help gauge altitude. While the UAP continued to be visible for over half an hour Claiborne Co. 911 was called and 2 deputies showed up and confirmed my observation of something high in the sky moving south. DHS tip line also reported to. One deputy had military experience and tried to determine if flights were nearby and 11 were seen in the area but agreed with me that it's unexplained UAP due to the up, down, left, right movement in fluid motions.

Staten Island, NY

As my wife and I were crossing the street walking dog I see you when I appear to be an airplane light. It looks brighter than usual when you look in the sky. As I was watching this fly across sky I noticed right away it looked alot different then a airplane. As I ran back across the street to get a better open view, the light completely disappeared, but there was still a something flying same speed only no light just a pure silhouette. I also do not have vidoe. But after I lifted the phone to take a video and went home, I stayed outside, and saw two planes close to each orher. I could be wrong but u thought maybe it was military planes afterwards. God only knows Likely an aircraft moving towards the witness then turning away [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

Odessa, TX

As the orb approached near overhead my position it went from blurry to a clear dot and back to blurry. When blurry it was much larger than when clear, it looked almost as if the blurriness were a forcefield. It continued to go from blurry to clear twice more before it showered down a Smokey haze that looked similar to a sonic boom. It then went clear again and continued on towards the south-east horizon. I called a friend when I first noticed it, he observed the same phenomenon that I did from 3 miles north east of my position. It was moving very fast, maybe 4 minutes from horizon to horizon. There were other planes in the sky relatively close to the path it took but at higher altitude, none of the other planes or objects in the sky were blurry.

The video quality is horrible. Thankfully I watched with my eyes and not from my phone screen:) The light caught my eye as it was a very bright glowing ball with what looked to be a solid light in the middle. I saw no flashing red lights as I do on planes passing over and this did not look like a plane! I watched for several seconds before I thought to get my phone. It grew bigger in size and then wound shrink again as it glided across the sky, then at the 30 sec mark it emitted something you’ll see. Like a puff of smoke? I’m not sure if this is something identified already that I’m unaware of so I’m passing it on to you all in hopes of finding out if this is a known something or in fact unidentified. I was on an upstairs porch balcony when this was happening, so ended the video when I needed to run out to try to follow it. I grabbed my daughter on my run down and we watched together as it just kept on until it was too small to see anymore. SpaceX launch from Florida [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Certain]

Springfield, IN

I was driving westbound on I-70 and saw a helicopter heading north. This helicopter was followed by a smaller craft which made rapid changes of direction and speed, circling the helicopter a few times but keeping mostly behind it. The smaller craft first looked oval in shape but became triangular, then back to an oval, and repeated this shift as they headed out of sight. The object was a darker gray, not quite black, easily seen against the partly cloudy sky.

Island Park Reservoir, NV

We were a party of 8 adults and 4 children on a pontoon boat taking a night ride on Island Park Reservoir, trying to get a glimpse of the northern lights that the news had forecasted the possibility of seeing. We had been on the water for about an hour when just over the horizon to the south we saw a string of lights. At first sight we thought they could have been Starlink but the lights began to cluster and move at different rates of speed; each moving in slightly different formations as they hovered. There were at least two dozen lights twinkling like stars as they moved. They all moved in front of a low cloud where they all independently slowed to a stop then either vanished or just blended into the stars in the background. This first encounter lasted about 5 minutes. Roughly 20 minutes later, the international space station flew bright in the sky as it headed north. Within just a few minutes we saw what we believe to be the same cluster of lights as before but directly overhead heading in the same direction as the space station. They could have been mistaken for satellites except their visibility would come and go. Their movement again was sporadic with variable speeds. As we headed back to the dock, multiple members of the party reported feeling a momentary loss of their sense of direction. We made it safely back to the dock and recounted our sighting.

Wells, NV

Sparkle in sky at sunset, circular then crescent in shape with more than one layer? (Crescent, maybe a rectangle behind this side). Assumed to be rotating, I figured it was a weather balloon, but seemed different than what I’ve seen before. Not sure due to strange shape. Sun was setting and bright glint seemed odd. Assume it traveled just too far out of my sight and the sparkle disappeared. Time may not be exact, I believe the sun had just set when i spotted it, still light out. Image is of region next day, but not the object seen. I believe we were on the right side of the mountain range in image if that’s helpful and the object was viewed in the distance behind this mountain range. Last image shows a circle where I believe we were driving on a back road, so object was towards the west. Dogs seemed to be calmer than usual, but creepy feeling in this area, smelled bad/off almost a faint sulfur sent. Thanks.

Virginia Beach, VA

Just before 9 pm a large bright light appeared in the sky above the beach. We first thought it was a planet until it started flashing and changing shape. I began taking photos and video with an iPhone 13. On the monitor, I could see an intense spinning circle of energy framed by a pitch black square. It hovered over the beach for over 20 minutes. Reviewing the video clips, two smaller dark triangular can be seen about the large object in the 11 o’clock position. Another object appears below it in the 5 o’clock position. The object then drifted back towards the North Virginia Beach neighborhood until it could no longer be seen. On the video clip, you can see it flashing, changing colors, seemingly growing larger and smaller. It’s quite active.

Osage Beach, MO

I was at my family lake home that morning and hear a loud jet flying low over the lake. It isn’t uncommon to hear jets flying in formation as Whiteman Airforce Base is located nearby and regularly fly patterns over our lake However, this was a single large jet flying at a very high rate of speed and making very quick maneuvers that I thought were irregular. I was thinking I should have videoed it. About 15 minutes later I heard the same loud jet sound and grabbed my iPhone and began to video the jet. I took 2 separate videos, one after the other, but only saw, what I thought was the military jet, flying very fast and low in the clips. Two days later I watched the videos and noticed things in the videos. A fuzzy halo type object that seemed to follow the jet and I had no explanation for but was in both videos. And extremely fast moving objects that I never saw while filming. Upon slowing down, frame by frame, I felt this couldn’t be explained. I didn’t feel it was an insect as the scale didn’t suggest such. And the rate of speed and the different ones were perplexing. I’m not sure as to what it is I saw or caught on my phone. But I couldn’t explain it. [NUFORC annotation: Bird - Probable]
