Glen Mills, PA

Object first appeared as a light shaped like a rectangle. It began shape shifting, changing color, and folding into itself as I was taking a picture of it before it disappeared into thin air.

A lighted rectangular banner type object in the sky at 19:12 hrs. It consists of three lines of lighted bulbs , which were looking like stars, flying in the sky at approximately around 1700 ft. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This was the image of the object as shown above. It was flying horizontally at a low speed for about less than 25 seconds and than disappeared. I was talking to my sister on phone at that time and took its picture too , however the picture is not that clear and as I started to record video of it, it disappeared.

Bhopal, MADHYA P · India

On the 2nd February 2023 at around 7 :07 PM, I was on my regular brisk walk at my residence and observing and enjoying the sight of 2 shiny bright spots in the sky, which, I knew were Venus and Jupiter- though what made it interesting was they were exactly one below the other in a vertical straight line- something not very common. This was in the general direction of South West looking from the residence. Suddenly, from the extreme southern horizon I noticed a very large lighted object entering my line of sight in the sky. It took me a few seconds to comprehend what it was. It wasn’t an airplane, though my estimate is that it was approximately at an altitude of 20000-30000 feet, moving at the speed at which generally jet passenger aircraft do. But it was much, much larger – around 80-100 times the size of a passenger aircraft ( let's say an Airbus A320). It was moving northward at a steady pace. Had Bright lights and a very unique shape - Kind of a Transparent Plastic Scale that has inches on one side and centimeters marked with black lines on the other. And all these inches and centimeters are joined by a single long line. All these lines ( 1 long and about 15-20 sideways) brightly illuminated. Another analogy to describe it could be related to the Spinal Cord of the human skeleton. So, the skeleton without the skull or arms or legs- just the spine and the vertebrae- but glowing brightly. With an aura around it. Another analogy I can think of is that it was kind of a large snake which was brightly lit up- this comes to mind because the movement of the object was smooth- as if it were slithering along at a leisurely pace. At first I had though it was a meteor, or a comet or something similar, but ruled it out since the object was perfectly symmetrical, which celestial objects usually are not- and more importantly – it did not just appear and vanish in a short duration in one part of the sky. This object actually travelled the entire horizon from the South to the North, at a constant speed, until I could not see it any more due to the trees. It definitely not was an airplane, or helicopter or drone or balloon or anything that I have seen or read about in my life. I am well travelled- over 50 countries- worked in 5 continents over a 3 decade career with the Government- am also well educated – double masters – including a fellowship from the US- so I am certain that what I saw yesterday certainly wasn’t a product of Earth. And just to add- the visibility was excellent- pollution was extremely low- and the Air Quality Index- which I had earlier checked in the day because I was surprised that the sky was very blue - was the among the lowest in the country. The sight was so fascinating that I was Awe struck for some time ( after having served as a law enforcement officer, as a diplomat, as a UN peacekeeper and also as a scholar – “Awestruck” is an adjective I haven’t used in decades ) , and I could remember to video record it only when it was about to go over the horizon and realized there wasn’t enough time to go and get my phone for the recording. So even though there are no pictures, I am attaching a hand made illustration that is as accurate as can be to what I witnessed. Also attached are my co-ordinates. My own analysis after having been observing the night sky fairly regularly from different points across the world is that it certainly was a UFO. There is no other rational explanation to describe the object. Though It wasn’t similar to images of UFOs released earlier whether by pilots or other individuals and wasn’t flying saucer shaped. So as I understand it, my conjecture is that it was a highly advanced huge Alien Spaceship.

Houston, TX

I witnessed two groups of two objects over the course of about three minutes. All I could see of each was an elongated amber light. I could not see any structure beyond the lights. They were steadily illuminated and moving at about the apparent speed and apparent distance of helicopters but there were no anticollision or navigation lights and there was no traffic on ADS-B services at the time. I could not hear any sound. They were traveling on more or less parallel tracks in approximately a NNW direction. There was no twinkling so I presume the objects were at no great distance. I have seen Starlink constellations and this was not that. I have additional photos with angle measurements that I don’t want public since they’re stamped with coordinates.

Halfmoon bay, CA

Sitting on a bench at the moss beach distillery at halfmoon bay california. Around 6:50 pm . My girlfriend noticed a large rectangular shape tha appeared out of nowhere moving very fast. I was amazed and took a photo. I didn’t think I captured it but after looking at the picture I did get it on film. Also looking at the picture I noticed there is another shape I caught below it in the right. And thst appears to be a round light and in the center the circle is divided with light like you cut 8 pieces of pie. I have both objects in two pictures

Genoa, IL

May to August 1979. On paper route at around 5:30-6:00 Am. I stopped to adjust the paper bag on my handlebars and something made me look to the west of VFW. One spot (light), then two, then three. They all moved same direction very slow moving East. Lights made a triangle. Came out of Dekalb Co. cornfields. Headed west, so slow and so huge should have fallen from the sky. These were slower than a blimp. Was not scared, just stuck looking at it. No recollection of rest of day. I have a clear picture in my head of the occurrence that I’ve seen over and over in my head for 45yrs. Told parents and brother. Mom didn’t believe me but my brother did. He believes I saw something, but stops short of agreeing with me. Current sightings identified recently look the same as my sighting. Have pictures of same thing as mine. Why the cornfields? How so big and slow, but not falling? 1979? Witnesses? This has haunted me for decades. Anything anybody? Not a joke. Take seriously please. Would like to know before I die. Thank you.

I was looking out my kitchen window when I heard which I thought was an army helicopter. The sound was low and heavy. I stared at the sky waiting for it to come past, when it didn’t I assumed it went in another direction. As I’m starting to look away that’s when I noticed a huge dark shadow go across the parking lot while I’m still staring at the sky. The sky was clear. There was no clouds, it was bright sky. Meaning this object was invisible but had a shadow. Later that night, I let my dog out to potty. I leave the backdoor open while I’m letting the dog out . When my dog was finished, we went in the house. As I’m going up the stairs I notice a figure going up the stairs, taking the last step and turning where the open living room is. It wasn’t an adult size, more so of kid height. It was transparent but lightly cloudy white like (Casper the ghost) with a blue outline. If I would’ve blink I would’ve missed it. This happen around 8pm

I was leaving work. I notice the sky in the back parking lot where it's generally very busy . It felt like time stopped but I didn't and the craft didn't. I saw a large translucent rectangle with large circles. It was matte and floated and disappeared into the sky. I looked around to see if anyone saw it as well. There were no cars no people and that's quite strange for this area. I feel like it could be a larger craft but I only saw a small section

It was different than a shooting star, which is what I thought it was at first. But it was more yellow and bright. It was intense, and appeared and unlike a shooting star, it was a very straight line. And it didn’t fizzle out like a shooting star ,it appeared very bright, and then traveled in a straight,horizontal line to the right. And then appeared to leave the atmosphere.

Carolina Beach, NC

I did not see a shape. If it had a shape it was black. I just saw 8 inch diameter vivid red lights spaced about 3 feet apart along the bottom of something dark. From what I saw it stretched from one side of the street above one home to the other side of the street above the house on the other side of the road and the lights were moving like watching a train go through an intersection except it was happening above houses. It just kept moving. It really startled me as I realized what was happening. When I got to the intersection and looked down the intersecting street it was gone and out of sight. I drove around many blocks looking for it. Never saw it again. We live just across the river from the Sunny Point Military Terminal where a lot of jets train and military cargo planes fly over us all the time. They make noise. This object did not. I have never seen anything like it. I do not know what kind of military training object this could have been. But I am reporting it because it was simply too close to the top of the homes on my street.

I seen an oddly bright star, so I took my camera out to zoom in on it. I can zoom in on the moon very Clearly. But when I tried it went from a multicolored blob to a Grey rectangle shape with the corners Chopped off with rings filling in the shape. I'm not sure if it was just my camera but I took the photo. Then it changed back to the motor colored blob and I took another picture. Then I turned around to walk to a different location in the yard , and bam a completely different incident happened right before my eyes it was incredibly great timing or luck but a bright white light came into sight traveled very fast a little distance in the sky then disappeared. I said to my friend oh wow I think I just seen a shooting star , but it seemed way too low to be that. But that was my first normal impression. I got so excited I decided to lay put in the grass and just star gazed a bit. So I honed back in on my original interest of the first light / star , and what to see any weird movements, and I did even tho I took the pictures a few minutes apart and with my phone at the same angle the shape went from horizontal to vertical in the different photo, I check my star finder and it said it was in the directions of Jupiter and just below was Saturn so idk white one it could be if it were that at all but check out the photos and see for yourself. Update I just went back outside at 10:07 to check on it and now I looks even crazier but I can only see it in person. It's a like a saucer shaped shadow / blacked out part of the light and if you tilt ur head in different direction you can line up the two objects and it blacks put the bright light all together. Iv never seen anything like this before, I'm a littler wary to fall asleep now ...but just more so interested

While taking a video of Magnificent Mile lights show I accidentally recorded an unidentified flying object. It appeared to have a gap in the middle of some sort as if it has two parts that are joined together inside a bubble. There were many people around but it lasted just few seconds.

Franklin, IN

My roommate and I were driving down 65 south toward the shelbyville exit 91. When my roommate said “Look, the sky is on fire.”. We kept driving and got off the highway and turned left on state road 43 toward Shelbyville IN. The objects disappeared once we were off the Highway but then returned. This went on for about 20 minutes of them appearing and disappearing coming back with larger proportions and often splitting from one object to two. We pulled over in a corn field to study the sky and then the object after appearing for the 4th time disappeared and never came back.

Two sets of 4 lights about 10km-20km away moving very fast towards each other converged and faded into the distance. Entire process took about 60 seconds. Over all shape is only defined by the 4 very bright, yellow-ish lights and they appeared from our perspective to be a square.

I went out front door and saw four yellow lights like rectangular object and then same exact shape lights turned on to the right of it. The lights were completely still n about ten minutes til the one on the left turned off and then shortly after the one on the right just turned off. Never moved or flashing. I didn’t hear anything either.

Pensacola, FL

I was driving to work early in the morning on the 27th. I was about to go on the off ramp of I-110 into downtown PensCola when I noticed 3 lights in the sky. At first I thought it was a plane. Pensacola has a lot of air traffic and were near a major airforce base, but when I really looked at the craft I noticed there was no structure connecting the lights. There was a faint siloughte surrounding the lights that looked like a triangle. The only thing I can compare it to is if you saw a jellyfish in the sky with lights inside. As I was processing this in my head the lights dimmed out and it was if the whole craft just faded out of existence.

Fairhope, AL

My wife and I were resting on a deck overlooking Mobile Bay facing SW to W. I saw a bright light in the cloudless sky about 90 degrees off horizon. Looked like large bright aircraft - but did not move and was stationary for long time. I then took a few photos and zoomed in on the very bright object. I then took a short 11-second video and object disappeared. My wife also saw this object. We were totally perplexed trying to figure out the object was so high in the sky, so bright and then fast disappearing. I am a former military pilot. I had not consumed any alcohol. When the photo is zoomed in on, it has hard angles shapes, and blinked. It disappeared very fast. I’ve never seen such an object.

Mandeville, LA

Saw a series of small lights in a rectangular pattern. I was thinking it may be StarLink but it looked different than photos and videos. Please zoom in on attached.photo to see what I saw. I was driving on bridge and could not pull over. It was difficult to get a good photo. I was traveling about 65 mph. The object was iny rear view after a couple of minutes and out of site in about 5-7 minutes. Photo was taken facing West from 30.276600,-90.109000.

about halfway between DFW airport and TLH airport, -

While on a flight between DFW and Tallahassee (TLH) probably an hour into the flight, I was looking out the window at the cloud layer below and saw in the south a very stark black, long rectangle in the distance for about 30-40 seconds. I kept trying to look more closely, but I can share that it had sharp lines and looked long enough that maybe it included multiple rectangles, but was not very wide. But it was black and looked odd against the clouds. It did not seem to be moving. Then after after staring at it for around 30 seconds it seemed to disappear - possible in the clouds?
