Worcester, MA
Upon seeing the object, I thought it was a plane but took a video because it seemed off to me. I didn’t think much of it until I checked the flight radar for Worcester. There were no planes in the sky at the time of my video recording. With the size and speed it was moving I assumed it has to be a plane, but according to the flight radar there was nothing in the air at the time of the video. I attached a flight radar map showing the area i was in and an arrow pointing in the direction I was facing. The only airplane on the radar was on the ground at the local airport.

I was observing the sky and I noticed two stars were really close to each other. Roughly two inches apart. One of the stars then disappered and was replaced by a bowl shaped object that was flying in all directions at such high speeds I couldn't see it move.

Loganville, GA
I saw a fairly bright orange oval shape object traveling west to east in Loganville Ga. For me the object was only visible for about 20 secs until it went behind a tree line, there was no change of direction. My city was hosting an early fireworks display which started a 9:30pm I saw this object approximately at 9:16pm. It did not resemble a firework and there was no sound, also I thought maybe it might have been a meteor, but it did'nt resesemble a meteor that I have seen. There was no trail, and I have never seen a bright orange one. I have seen starlink and even the space shuttle on a clear night but neither were similar this. I would welcome in plausible explantion.

Seattle, WA
I observed suspicious aircraft ~6:45 PM 6/24/2023 northeast of Seattle. I was located on my patio in the viscosity of the ferry terminal in downtown Seattle. Objects observed as being northeast of my location, eventually traveling south of my location. My initial concern was that they were weather balloons floating towards SEATAC / Boeing in the path of aircraft. I took a 3x telescopic zoom video (iPhone 14s) of the objects wherein they maintain similar positions and relative distance to each other, but observed them off camera to drift, and then nearly contact each other. They appeared to have an aura/halo that persisted as they moved south in the general direction of Olympia, and eventually disappeared. One object remained visible for ~20 minutes after the other was no longer in field of vision. I did not see either object disappear from sight - but lost contact while adjusting my recreational telescope. I was able to use my telescope to observe the object in greater detail, and successfully sighted both objects with a clear view. I observed what appeared to be two undulating, elliptical shapes (iridescent, mainly orange and purple) with distinct attached tendrils / trails. My first thought was that they appeared organic, resembling jellyfish, but appeared to be visibly and uniformly energized / glowing. I did not count at the time, but recall 3-5 trails, roughly 1/5th in size relative to the elliptical shapes. Trails/tendrils were not a wake, and appeared attached to the overall shape. Given their height relative to commercial aircraft flying overhead, they appeared to be very far away (safely above commercial airlines flying past Seattle at cruising altitude, not ascending/descending). Objects remained relatively stationary overhead for 10-15 minutes, before traveling in the direction of Olympia. Objects did not appear to lose altitude, or maintain any particular course/velocity. Objects were moving quickly enough that 10x telescope view could only keep objects in field of view for ~10 seconds before requiring readjustment. They appeared to be moving in a coordinated manner, but appeared to separate / end coordination as they began moving in the direction of Olympia. Second observer was also able to view the objects through the telescope, and can provide separate corroborating account. Both observers are early 30s, gainfully employed, established professionals. Both have masters degrees in their field, and professional credentials/certification. Oddly, I lost complete cell phone service for roughly 5 minutes, and called the non-emergency police using WiFi. I was located in my home at this time, and have never in 2 years had my phone enter SOS mode within my home.

From North/West corner I observed a round/ oval object on the sky above either Pomona or Chino. The object was really hi and could not be a plain or helicopter nor a jet. It moved so fast East and it was gone.

Was seen right below the ceiling during an approaching thunderstorm. I captured it on my drone footage. Gold in color, oval shaped with a ledge around it. Took off at a speed too fast to see but can see it with the video slowed down. Only one observed and I’ve never seen anything like it before.

Landers, CA
I was visiting Giant Rock after having gone to the Integratron. While there I took an image of the landscape to include the sky, I walked in between Giant Rock's separate pieces and took two pictures of the landscaping, I then had a physical reaction where I had an intense "pressure" feeling on my third eye. It was so severe that I walked back through the pieces to exit where I had entered, as I exited, I took another picture of the same image I took before I entered Giant Rock and there was an "orb" or "energy vortex" in the sky. I believe it is this object that also gave me the intense pressure sensation on my third eye. Both images were taken at 12:47 PM time stamp on June 18, 2023. I went through all of the images that I took while there and checked for any other photos for the same anomaly but there were none. The object is oval with an outline and there also appears to be a light beam next to it as well. Giant Rock has a history for UFO sightings, has nine ley lines running through it making it a vortex of energy.

Saw this in the sky from my deck off of my kitchen. It was just shiny, so I snapped a pic and when I zoom in, it's not a plane.

Probable conventionalLondon, ROYAL BO · United Kingdom
I was walking my dog in Brompton Cemetery (Earls Court, London, UK) when I heard a helicopter fly by (I see one almost every time I go there because the cemetery is across the street from a police HQ center). When it passed, I noticed something floating in the sky. At first I thought it was something hanging from the tree...like a bug...because it was very still and there was a tree over my head...but then it started moving from left to right very slowly. I could not tell if it was white or shiny silver....the color seemed to be a mix at times. Could have been changing colors? Or it could have beena reflection due to the sun? I looked down to grab my phone and when I looked up it was gone. I turned my phone on and looked up again and it was there again but looked like it stalled? It either moved very slowly or was not moving at all. I am not sure if I kept losing sight of it because it was bright outside? Took two photos and then I looked at my phone to switch it to video. When I looked back up it was gone and I didn't see it again. Well, I thought I saw it a few minutes later but it was way too far away and in the opposite direction so I might have been imaging it? There were tons of commercial planes flying across the park at the time. I thought the shape was like an oval balloon, but when I zoomed in it kind of looked like something was hanging from it? Reminded me of a jellyfish. There is a second black/translucent object in the zoomed in photo (taken like 5 seconds after the zoomed out one) - I actually did NOT see that one with my naked eye. I only noticed it when I was reviewing photos later. I thought it could be dirt or dust...but am unsure why it wouldn't have shown up in the zoomed out photo as they were taken right after each other. The day was hot, cloudless, and had a slight breeze. The sun was really bright and there were no clouds for orientation, so that could have affected my vision. There were also many planes flying by, which is normal for that area. There were a few crows flying around as well. The objects were much higher than the helicopter, but I am not sure if they were as high as the commercial planes? [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Probable]

I live on the 12th floor of an apartment building in Brooklyn. I saw something that I initially thought was a balloon and captured it on video. It was a metallic, reflective, dark grey tic tac shaped object about 5 feet long and approximately 1000-2000 feet away. I looked away for 5-10 seconds and it was gone. It would have to have moved 100s of miles per hour to disappear from my field of view in the time that I looked away. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Probable]

Carson City, OR
We were in the middle of a skirmish during a event at Nevada state prison doing training when something told me to look up in the sky. From my viewpoint what I saw could be described as a piece of aluminum foil rotating, and it was shiny from all angles. I tried to get some teams to look at it, and they couldn’t see it initially. At that point an airplane flew by and perspective, they could see what I was referring to. It continued to stay there for another three more minutes until it kind of just like a light switch went off and just disappeared.

Big Flats, NY
I was looking towards the south from my kitchen window to take a picture when I saw one dark and oval shaped object move very quickly from west to east in a straight line. There seemed to be some kind of haze or something around the dark shaped oval. The sighting lasted only seconds as it disappeared behind trees and out of my sight line. It was very close to Elmira Regional Airport in Chemung County, New York State. This information was given to me by a family member who would rather not be named so I am reporting for them. It is my own contact information below.

Kerrville, TX
Shortly after our 11:30 a.m. appointment began in our backyard which has a 180° unobstructed view from the southeast to the northwest, I noticed the object and asked" what is that in the sky?". The three of us were standing on the new patio the contractor had poured the entire length of the back of our house whose front faces South. I wondered aloud if it were another Chinese spy balloon since we all knew one had traversed most of the US before being destroyed off the east coast in the spring. As we watched the object move SSE the Contractor said it was too fast & too steady for a balloon. He also said the wind was coming out of the wrong direction for a balloon too move that way & that wind driven balloons are not that steady or straight as the whitish, squashed football object that continued across the sky. When it passed behind there was West Wall of the house, the Contractor & I hurried it to the front of the house by walking south on the patio past the garage. The Mason pointed to the object coming up to due South at the same altitude, speed & path. We could not tell how far away from our vantage point or how large the craft was. It continued on the same silent path until it passed out of sight to the SSE. It traversed more than 180 degrees of the sky in under a minute. I wasn't going to report it until I saw the same object in a different state Monday morning, July 24 in Colorado. I will make a separate report for that sighting.

I noticed the object decending from the clouds as I slowed down for a red light. The object resembled an oval shapped hockeypuck, and was standing on its end and rotating about once every 3-5 seconds. It appeared to be light in color on the opposite faces and dark around the rim. The object decended from the cloud and moved towards the left and appeared to come to a complete stop, while continuing to rotate. It then slowly accended back into the cloud coverage. This was not a balloon. It had clearly defined edges and was very stable in its rotation, unlike a balloon which wobbles in the wind. This object was not drifting, it was definately under powered control.

Le 28 mai 2023, vers 16h, deux témoins (T1 et T2) observent deux PAN dans le ciel sur la commune de Mâron (36). Un des PAN est de forme ronde-ovale et de teinte foncée et l’autre de forme longue, mince et de couleur noire. Les PAN à basse altitude se déplacent sur une trajectoire descendante, se « balançant » légèrement sur eux-mêmes. Les observations sont discontinues, les témoins allant chercher leur téléphone portable à l’intérieur de leur domicile pour tenter de faire des photographies. L’observation dure environ 1 minutes 30 durant lesquelles une photo sera prise avant que les PAN ne disparaissent de la vue des témoins. Le cas est d’une bonne consistance* pour les raisons suivantes : - Présence d’une photographie qui a pu être exploitée par IPACO sur quelques paramètres. - Deux témoignages dépendants. - Disponibilité des témoins très coopératifs tout au long de l’enquête. - Enquête réalisée à distance et sur place permettant d’obtenir toutes les données utiles (tailles angulaires, élévations, azimuts…). *selon les critères du GEIPAN, la consistance est la quantité d’informations considérées comme fiables et objectivées, recueillies pour un témoignage. Nous avons exploré deux hypothèses principales (voir le compte rendu d'enquête) : - des planeurs, visibles sur les traces radars du Centre National des Opérations Aériennes de l’armée de l’Air et de l’Espace, - des ballons. L’hypothèse planeurs s’est rapidement avérée être peu plausible compte tenue de la position et de l’altitude d’évolution. - l’éloignement des planeurs par rapport à la position du témoin fait que leurs différentes hauteurs angulaires ne correspondent pas à celles des PAN, - la zone d’évolution n’est pas dans la zone d’observation. L’autre hypothèse, celle de deux ballons évoluant au gré du vent, présente davantage de paramètres correspondant à ceux des PAN : - leur comportement observé et décrit comme un « balancement » ou « oscillation », - leur apparence, pouvant être comparée à deux types de ballons, l’un plutôt rond et l’autre allongé, de couleur sombre, existe dans le commerce, - leur déplacement se fait dans le sens du vent, - la vitesse de déplacement est plausible pour les distances considérées, - les mesures et calculs effectués avec le logiciel de traitement d’images IPACO® sont cohérents avec deux ballons d’une taille moyenne classique comprise entre 60 et 90cm situés à environ 300/500 mètres de distance en fin d’observation pour des altitudes situées entre 120 et 180m. La disparition rapide dans un nuage ne serait qu’une illusion puisque les ballons ne sont perçus au moment de la photographie que grâce à un fort zoom de 6,45. Il est donc logique que l’œil nu ne les perçoivent plus ensuite. Malgré des recherches approfondies, il n'a pas été possible de déterminer avec certitude si l'observation correspondait à celle de ballons perdus ou relâchés à proximité des témoins, par exemple depuis une salle située dans l'azimut d'où les PAN sont apparus, et qui avait été décorée de ballons pour un événement festif ce jour-là. Le GEIPAN classe ce cas en B : observations probables de ballons. [GEIPAN classification B — Ballon]

Seattle, WA
Object was jet black, cashew shaped, orientation, longer up to down. Top sw side was shining white light, likely due to sun placement but odd because the sun was already towards the west side of the object. 3:10 pm . Headed east, slightly south. I'd say from Seattle, roughly 110 degrees on a compass. Object between size of a car and a normal bus. I was driving half way on the floating bridge i90, headed west towards Seattle from mercer island about 3:10pm. About 50-70 feet from the Mt baker tunnel, it disappeared. Just gone. I was interested and turned around by the stadiums, I took the exit, and saw in my rear view it was back and absolutely in the same area. But when I was able to turn around it was gone once again.

In a clear blue morning sky. The oval white object was as high/higher in the sky than an airliner would fly. The UFO was moving fast with no heat trail. A military aircraft was following it. The most notable thing to me was the UFO did not have a heat trail. I was able to get a photo of the UFO but I did not get the military aircraft in the photo. When you zoom in on the UFO in my photo it seems to have a darker field surrounding it.

As my husband and I were disembarking a cruise ship, we saw an oval white object with no propulsion and no wings fly by the space needle. It appeared to be flying at the level of the top of the space needle with no sound until it went out of view.

A large oval object passed by, increased altitude and disappeared into the darkness, it's about 108+ft in length by eye estimation, there wasnt much light to get any images but you could clearly see the outline in the sky in person, there's no lights on it like Goodyear blimps but it could've been one although it's unidentified currently, there were also a couple helicopters in the vicinity for quite some time before and after we saw it [NUFORC annotation: Blimp - Possible]

These were small craft with one large red light in center traveling in pairs 30-40 miles per hour; they were evenly spaced apart about 20-30 feet; there were a dozen or more traveling in north/northwest direction. I was in line at Taco Bell drive through and Five Mile and Middlebelt Rd

I see the sighting every night for over a year. They are very bright with red and white lights. Sometimes they come close to the ground and sit there for hours. I would only see one but now there are at least 4. It scares me because they are too close to the backyard.

Watched for over an hour with naked eye and a basic telescope figured reflection from setting sun. It dimmed out after sun went down a flashing light on bottom when dark then lost it. Maybe an Army balloon when I looked it up. It was south of SAC. Offit Air Force Base or a UAP Thanks

buffalo junction, VA
I was travelling home to run some errands at lunch around 12:15 on Hwy 58 east bound near Buffalo Junction. I saw a silver oval shaped object flying left to right across 58. I was watching it while driving and when it got directly over 58 it disappeared. Completely clear blue skies. It was probably 1/4 mile ahead of me so if I had to guess the size I would say about the size of a compact car.
