At approximately 11:03 pm on Saturday July 23rd, my wife and I were returning from the gym in Folsom to our home. While southbound on hwy 25, my wife remarked on an object that appeared at first to be a star, but said it was moving very fast and asked "what is that?" Looking through the windshield I observed what appeared to be the same object, and thought it possessed the physical appearance of a bright star. It was moving westward, and seemed to be bouncing up and down, and would disappear and reappear further away. There were a few times where the object seemed to fade out of one place and appear far away at the same instant. The light appeared to blinking in a somewhat rhythmic fashion, gradually dimming out completely and then reappearing further away at a rate of one blink every two seconds. While watching it I judged it at first to be extremely far away, but noticed that it appeared to be moving in a manner that would be consistent with a lower altitude (the object appeared over our heads as we drove underneath it, and it seemed to get higher as we got closer), and I would say it was around 200-400m high. From there I would say we noticed it about one to two miles away. After judging it to be fairly close, it went behind a treeline. We continued straight down the highway, and we both became excited asking each other what we thought it was. When we got underneath where it appeared to pass, I rolled the window down and looked out west. I saw, very clearly, three bright lights in a tight triangle. It appeared to be directly over a field and someones home. The color of the light had changed to a more blue/LED color, but was still pulsing at the same rate as the other light. It did not disappear and reappear at this time. It dimmed and grew in intensity but remained visible. I looked around for any other lights but did not see any. The triangle shape of the lights was very apparent. We continued down the highway at speed and I quickly lost sight. The encounter lasted 2-4 minutes. After this we were so astonished that we passed up our home. I checked the clock to verify the time, and turned around several miles down the road and returned home. On our driveway, we stopped to observe another very bright light that was behaving very differently. It passed overhead at which point we could tell it was definitely a jet plane. It was very loud and bright, and we could make out the green and red position lights. The other object made no sound, was not as bright, had no color position lights, and was fading in and out and constantly changing its flight path. The jet was on a static course. The object seemed to be on a carousel. I am a 27 years old controls electrician. I install and program Siemens controls products. I do not drink or take drugs and have never claimed to have seen strange things. I am a very skeptical person, and am not religeous. I do not know what I saw, and am very interested to hear if anyone else saw anything that night. My wife is 30 years old and has her Bachelors degree in applied nursing sciences. She is also a very skeptical person who does not drink or take drugs and is not given to fanciful ideas. She does not like to talk about the sighting.

I stepped outside to see how hot it was right before sunset , about 8:10 pm .I looked up and watched a plane make slight turn.The was coming towards me from the southwest when it made a left turn to head north. The plane had a short contrail so the path of the turn was clear. After the plane straightened out I noticed something going by in the opposite direction. It was highly reflective and appeared higher than the plane. I went inside to get the binoculars . I got back outside found the object and tried to focus the binoculars. It was a V heading south. The plane and the contrail where both white and now well to the North of the V. The V was thin compared to the thickness of the planes wings. It was highly reflective of the sun so it did seam to have a haze around it . I lost it in a small cloud but it would went behind a tree in a few seconds anyway.

I saw one chevron shaped mirrored object fall from blue sky. In the southern sky. Looked as though it fell through a Crack in the sky. Traveled rapidly to far most southern blue sky like into a Crack in the sky again. Lasted perhaps 30 seconds. Unusually bright with white outline. Traveled so quickly was unable to focus on the speed til it was leaving.

Dark blue chevron shape object making quick side to side, up and down movements, then falling straight down into a cloud. Darting up, darting down, darting to the left, darting to the right then darting down with great speed into a cloud.

Le 19 juillet 2022, un habitant de COLPO (56) s’apprête à sortir son chien. Il est sur son perron lorsqu’ il aperçoit une lumière de forme ovale en direction de la Lune. Cette lumière reste fixe pendant au moins 5 minutes. Le témoin a ensuite cessé d'observer le phénomène. un seul témoignage est recueilli. L’analyse de la photographie a révélé que l’heure indiquée par le témoin était erronée, l’observation ayant eu lieu à 3h07 et non à 23h, ce que le témoin a confirmé à posteriori (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). La consistance de ce cas est moyenne : une photo, un témoignage succinct (selon les critères du GEIPAN, la consistance est la quantité d’informations considérées comme fiables, recueillies pour un témoignage). L’enquête a conclu que le témoin avait observé la planète Jupiter dont les caractéristiques et l’emplacement correspondent exactement à l’observation rapportée. Il convient de noter que le PAN ,sur la photographie ne présente pas une apparence ponctuelle, mais plutôt une forme légèrement allongée, comparée par le témoin à celle d'une "banane". Cette caractéristique est cohérente avec un léger flou de mouvement, étant donné que la photographie a été prise à main levée. Le cas est classé A, observation de la planète Jupiter. [GEIPAN classification A — Jupiter]

Looking east, aircraft flying south at 9:45 pm brightly lit orange and red non blinking lit aircraft. First I saw 3 in a formation in night sky going south disappear into cloudy sky. Then I saw 2 more together and 3 singular ones going same direction exactly. They were visible for about 30 seconds each.

Started noticing strange lights in the night skies above our neighborhood around the middle of May. Since then the activity has picked up. We have footage and pictures we have taken with cellphones, also minoculars with infrared. I've never seen anything like this before. There are also orbs that glow bright orange. For some strange reason or another, whatever these are, they are in and above the tree lines that border our neighborhood, which is in close proximity to other neighborhoods and Hwy.316. We cannot be the only ones to see this. Over the past 7 days we have also noticed these objects getting closer into our subdivision at night, and there are several of these objects. Not only can you feel the heat coming off them, it definitely feels threatening. There is nothing "normal" about any of this, and for the longest we just chalked it up to stars. But after seeing these things on camera, its definitely real and terrifying. Again, we cannot be the only people around here that notice these strange objects because it doesn't seem like they are shy, especially at night and during thunderstorm activity. I'll put it this way, we cannot wait to move.

I noticed a shiny silver metallic object sitting static in the sky then dissappear then reappear 5 or 10 aerial miles farther away than the first position in a matter of 5 or 6 secs but not as florescent as the first appearance which after a few secs it disappeared again for good Sterling silver had nothing on the beauty of this object it was truly amazing!

Object had a white light at each corner of the delta and one in its exact center. It was stationary above my wife, son, and I who were stargazing. It was the relative size of a quarter given the objects altitude. About 30 seconds after we all saw it, the object accelerated and flew away at an extremely high rate of speed without making a sound or leaving a trail. My blue heeler also was barked and snarled at the object.

While watching a little league game at location, my eyes caught glint of sun or flash from an object in sky at 1:45pm. As I watched it move in place, looked like a white or silver bar/cylinder and was near due south. There was not much movement, but the object did change its aspect to my eye (glint/flash, then I could see some movement). After it disappeared, I remained in same spot watching game. Object reappeared at 1:50pm, I called wife and others to look but they couldn't pick it out. Each sighting was 5 seconds duration, object did not reappear the rest of the day. Sky angle was approx 45 degrees midway between horizon and zenith. Reference point was ball diamond backstop, and neither it or myself moved. Estimate the object was miles away and could have been a few thousand feet up (no clouds for reference). Conditions: 85 degrees with a cloudless sky, object was far enough from sun that I did not need to shield eyes to observe. Wind approx 12-15 mph from S or SE. Someone suggested pelican or raptor riding thermals. Intensity of flash/glint was more intense than what would be possible with a pelican's white wing tips. Escaped birthday balloon? How could it have stayed in same location given wind speed. Quad Cities airport was near, but flights observed during the day used east - west approaches. No jet landed within minutes after the sighting, esp from that direction. I am 62, an amateur astronomer, trained SkyWarn spotter, and eBird regular contributor. I see small flocks of pelicans all the time around my home.

3 then 4 lights just appeared in front of a cloud mid sky to the west. Lights shifted in their position to the left immediately then blinked out, lasted no more then 5 minutes. Reminded me of the 'Phoenix lights'. Time is approx. around 9 pm.

I was getting home around 1 am, and noticed what I thought was a plane with its landing lights on. It seemed strange though since it was pretty high up. When I got out of my car I noticed that it wasn't moving in the direction that a plane would if it was using its lights. It was also really high up, and there were no clouds in the sky for the light to be reflecting off of. I tried to take a video with snapchat, but you couldn't see it. I was able to get this picture from my phone's camera. I didn't stay outside to see what it did after the picture was taken. The object was moving down and slightly to the left relative to the picture.

I had just gotten home from a buddies house and I decided to take a quick dip in the pool. While floating, a triangle shaped object flew overhead from east too west very quickly. It crossed the sky in a matter of a couple of seconds. The object appeared to be dark in color and there was no sound accompanying the siting. I’d also like to know that I did NOT consume any alcohol, drugs, or anything else that couple alter my state of mind.

It was only the shadow we saw as we were inside. It darkened the rooms of the house. Bizarre as there was no sound. No engine noise whatsoever

There was one craft. it popped into view, hung in the air for about 40-50 seconds, then sped off toward Phoenix. There was one main red light and two sets of smaller lights that moved along the bottom of the craft. There was a low humming sound almost unnoticed.

I was standing on the second floor balcony looking for satellites and observing night air traffic when a delta shaped object moved from my 5 o’clock position to my 11 o’clock position. The object had three white lights. The lights were at the 3, 9, and 12 o’clock positions on the craft. The lights were a dim white almost yellowish light. The craft was completely silent and the airspeed appeared to be about 130 knots. The craft appeared to be about 1,500 ft. AGL. The color of the craft seemed to be a dark color maybe grey. I could see the faint outline of the craft against the night. sky. I lost sight of the aircraft as it continued toward the ocean. It disappeared behind the courtyard Marriott. Total time observed between 5 and 10 seconds.

Zoom into Blue object moving in jets vapour trail. Seen in different spots before moving out of picture. It is a considerable size considering vapour trails are seen at 25000 ft. The original Image file details are attached with multiple shots. I only noticed the object once back on my computer.

My father and I were in our backyard last night having cigars, and I noticed a light that was in the sky, low, and in sight over the house behind mine (not directly above said house) likely 5 miles from our location. I wrote it off as just a bright star, but when I ended up turning my head that direction again, it was moving side to side very quickly but in kind of a smooth fashion. It began moving in my direction and eventually I noticed it was the shape of a crescent moon, extremely bright, however it was moving with the two points facing forward. (Like if a B2 Spirit was moving in reverse.) it began to get higher and higher and faster and then disappeared. The video I recorded is about 10 seconds after it stopped moving side to side, and began moving my direction. Now, you I used the Apple photo gallery editor feature to brighten the video up, in order to use other stars as a reference of speed. The craft to me looked like it was most likely 10,000+ feet in altitude, although I’ve only flown in Cessna aircraft and have no idea how big this thing may be.

Around 8:56pm on Saturday evening, I was detailing my vehicle in my front yard facing the north. It was a clear night after days of overcast sky's and rain. My teen daughter came out to talk with me while I was wrapping things up and I saw a light rise up over the tree line in front of me in the distance engulfed in a glowing aura. I exclaimed to my daughter "Oh look! what do you think that is?" She turned around to look with me, and we watched the craft(light). A Golden, and white aura, with a red glow in the front of, what seemed to resemble an inverted chevron shape (The chevron wasn't visible until it gained altitude and decreased its illumination.) It increased speed and illumination while gaining altitude. It then de-illuminated, but was still visible to the naked eye due to the sunlight slightly still in the western sky. It then traveled across the sky from the north to my east, (In the direction of the Norfolk international Airport) then change direction away form us going east super fast, super sonic speed towards the horizon in the direction of the oceanfront all still with no sound at all. What I thought was a firework at first just totally blew our minds!

Driving from dundalk to Towson on I695 west. Saw what looked like small lightening bolts. They blinked not all at once. But each was separate. They reminded me of tracer bullets. I was driving on 695 so couldn't stop. Should have. Then they all disappeared into the clouds. This lasted a few minutes

Every night I sit in the hot tub and track satellites. I am very familiar with the night sky including Starlink. As I was closing the hot tub something caught my eye approaching from the ENE sky. It appeared at about 50°. It was ghost like. Almost invisible. The silhouette of the craft was faint yet distinctive. A "V" shaped craft with 3 large (in comparison to the "wing") lights on each side of center. They were barely visible. It almost seemed to be cloaked in a cloud like fog around the craft. The altitude was well below 10,000 ft and subsonic, approximately 300-500 mph. It was large, wing span greater than a 747. It was also silent. No sound at all. I lost sight at approximately 50° and 180° to first sight of the craft (straight line trajectory). Maybe related to this incident, but shortly before I saw the craft and shortly after I noticed that there seemed to be an increase in satellites. With at least two satellites moving east to west
