Took a picture of approaching storm to send to my wife at work. When I looked at the photo (taken on my iPhone) the light anomaly appeared over the roof of the house next door. I had live photo turned on which produces a short video. I am including both the JPG and MOV files. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

I just left the house for work, driving eastward toward Saint John's catholic church, when out of my left peripheral I saw something moving through the tree line, when it appeared directly in front of me, I saw a sphere shape silverish object, spinning and reflecting light. When it stopped above the church, I decided to record, then it just glided off. I sure would like to know what it was. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Probable]

I noticed a bright light more intense than any star ive seen before rise over the tree tops. At first i thought it was the comet we was expecting until i realized it was barely moving. Every 5 to 10 minutes it would dim completly about 20 seconds then come back as intense as before. After full sunrise it was undetectable in the sky. Then tonight 09/09/23 at 11 pm i seen it rising above the trees in the exact same spot. Its not a star [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

I saw some bright light that I thought was a shooting star from the west. I noticed it curved, much like a boomerang, only to vanish into thin air. This "bright light" would repeat this multiple times. After a few minutes, there were two bright lights that followed each other in a dancing fashion. These bright lights moved extremely quick, considering they were at about the height of an airplane. They made very quick, and sharp movements in the blink of an eye, only to disappear. After about 20 minutes, 7 bright lights left in uniform fashion (like the air force) heading south. The weather was foggy during the encounter, but quickly cleared up after the group of lights were seen leaving.

Hovered for approximately 20 seconds next to the top of the trees. I was mesmerized by all the lights around it. I went to grab my phone and it disappeared. I didn’t see it fly away but I looked away for like 2 seconds for my phone. It was extremely bright because the next night I looked out the same window and couldn’t even see the trees. I was visiting my parents home.

I saw an orange orb type object that I at first thought was a lone firefly above the height of a tree. It was brighter than all stars in the sky and presumably closer. I have evidence of my time clocking out from work and have been more observant since I ride a motorcycle. I have never seen firefly’s nearby and this is my first ever sighting. I truly don’t think it could’ve been a firefly and floated back and forth too much to be a shooting star. The light pulsed in and out similar to a twinkling star but more ‘glow’ like. This should be able to be seen on someone’s security camera I’m willing to bet. I could not hear anything except a nearby commercial (I think) airplane that was more above my head (I bet they got a great view of it)

Bright red ,round object slowly moving across the sky .Fiery red with one third lights in front.The object was so intense in color that the lights looked pink. Moved across the sky and dipped down a little then kept traveling west,at a slow speed. No sound,no trails,just gliding.Just one object seen. So,so bright red

While flying from Charlotte to Memphis, I was piloting a jet aircraft at 34000 to 36000 feet. I was on a heading of approximately 273 degrees. The Big Dipper was to the right of the airplane. Approximately 30 minutes prior to touchdown around 1115pm to 11:30pm eastern standard time, a light appeared below the handle of the Big Dipper. It appeared very dim like a distant star, then increased in brightness very quickly. When it was full bright, we could see approximately 3-4 smaller very faint dim lights that would fly around the main light. After 5-10 seconds, they would all disappear. A couple minutes later, they would all reappear in the same area. A few minutes later the same thing would happen, except they would be above the handle of the Big Dipper. A couple of times, there would be 2 bright stars far apart from each other. They would appear full bright and quickly fly to each other then disappear. These lights had no aircraft strobes or red/green position lights. This kept happening for at least 30 minutes until we landed in Memphis. It could have gone on longer, but as we approached the city, the lights of the town made it difficult to see the sighting location. In my opinion, these lights appeared to be in outer space, and not in our atmosphere. It was definitely not satellites, star link, shooting stars, etc.

While on the back deck last night observing the stars together, my partner and I both started tracking a rapidly moving light high in the Eastern sky. It moved fast and erratically but we were able to track it in our binoculars; it looked as bright as a star. We then tracked another one a bit North of the first. We saw a third for their North of the two with the same movements observed; however, this object seemed to maybe reflect light at a couple points in its flight because it got incredibly bright and then faded making it hard to track as well; it seemed to disappear and reappear at times.

Went outside to watch a lightning storm go by. I saw a red star shaped object travel out of a lightning filled storm cell into clear skies for 5 seconds and then it went into another cell. Seconds later another red object followed in the same direction. Traveling south to north.

Looking to the north from parking lot, at about 45 degree angle inclination off horizon, two large moonlike bright round objects, same color and shape as full moon but larger, about the same brigthtness as full moon on a clear night, were seen blinking at each other at same altitude. (Objects separated by apparent distance of 5 in.as measured between thumb and forefinger at arm's length). Estimated distance several miles? Not sure. The two objects did not appear to be connected but seemed to be blinking to one another possibly in communication or coordinated somehow. One witness was frightened and went indoors immediately after seeing the objects. The other witness watched the objects for several minutes. A separate object was seen in the sky during this sighting, it was a LifeFlight helicopter according to the witness who had stayed to watch. After the LifeFlight helicopter left the area toward the west, the two large round blinking objects soon blinked out and did not reappear. There was no sound associated with the blinking large objects although the LifeFlight helicopter had made normal helicopter sounds. Moon was not in the sky at time of sighting, had set around 3 pm and was due to rise after 11 pm. Witness is 62 years of age, does not drink alcohol. He did not have his glasses with him, but could see the round objects quite easily because of their brightness and large round shape. He thought it appeared like "two full moons" even though he knew it was not that, and even though the moon would have been in the southern sky so he knew that was impossible. He doesn't believe he had any problem of "double vision."

I was taking out the recycle bin when I happened to look up. What I saw was something I have seen before. - Conventional technology can't explain this. I saw a light that looked like a really bright star going fast that did a 90 degree turn without slowing down. That qualifies as a UFO.

A glowing orb above the sea moving at a consistent speed above the sea color seemed to switch between yellow and red, no trail no thrusters it seemed very similar to all the footage of flying orbs shared from other parts of the world direction of movement almost 90° east and about 200-300 meters altitude above sea level.

We had gone to the area past the Ferry dock and adjacent to the NC Teachers Building to watch the sunset over the sound on a mostly clear evening. At first, I thought I was seeing the setting sun’s reflection off of something in the distance, and I asked my partner if he saw it. His first impression was that it was the lights off of a giant crane, but the perspective was off…as there was no crane in the sound. There were no ferries, and the lights were too high to have been on a boat - especially since these were far in the distance ( our estimate ten miles). They didnt flicker per se, but did seem to intensify in brightness…but it was not dark out. Then they simply vanished. My cell phone could not capture what our eyes were seeing. And frankly, at the time it seemed so strange that I was uneasy. The fascinating thing is the four lights formed a curved vertically oriented line…and the lights held their position. They did not sink nor move. It looked like a brightly lit constellation- over the water in the distance. They were above the water line, but at that distance they would have had to have been on something quite large. We did not see any structure though. Their light intensity reminded me of a white airplane headlight in the sky when the plane is overhead, and was more intense than a satellite light.

While driving west on Lynn Rd I noticed what I originally thought was a meteor. It appeared to be something falling with a tail lit up behind it. I also noticed 2 small objects to the right of the falling object. I thought they were small planes watching from a safe distance what was happening. They were just lights or light reflecting from the sun off of them. Instantly one of the small lights disappeared, and then the other did as well. The falling object made a steep change towards the opposite direction and continued to fall. I watched as I turned north on Leesville Rd until the trees obstructed my view. I took a picture on my phone of the falling object from my car. The object appears just above the lower trees on the left. You have to zoom in to see it. It looks like a fuzzy streak and that distance. [NUFORC annotation: Contrail - Possible]

Brightest light I have ever seen at 7pm. Totally light out. Looked at it through binoculars and it was a tear drop shaped large object that appeared to be stationary. I was able to view object in my telescope and the object was teardrop shaped with an orange color. Over the next 1.5 to 2 hours the object slowly moved West. The object appeared to illuminate from within. I thought it may be some type of balloon, but this object was the opposite shape of commercial balloon and was way too high in the sky to be a commercial balloon. Unfortunately, I do not have a cell phone attachment for my telescope and the object was too far away for me to take video or pictures. If I had the cellphone attachment for my telescope the pictures would be amazing. I have never seen anything like this in my telescope or my life!

A flying white/metallic orb seen flying south at a rapid rate passed over our home. Airline radar indicated no active flights in the area at the time. Unable to get a photo, the orb was extremely reflective once at a higher altitude and moved in strange ways until disappearing.

The Afternoon: A testimony encouraged by my 1 friend, my dad who is not sure if he believes me but supported me, more importantly, my coworker who was there and was moved and for anyone else that was curious what it was.... On a crisp afternoon, we pulled into a landscape yard to load some dirt for a job. A blue bird day, one could almost see to Wyoming, the air was so clear crisp. Cleanest air I have seen all year. Made me wish I was in the mountains climbing that day. I was working. I noticed an object, unlike anything I have seen before in the sky's. The words expressed from us... 3 men working mid day.... ME.... T.... and the " Load Guy" 1)What ((words deleted)) is that bro! 2) What are you guys looking at, ....yo what... I see that... 3) Yo it seems to be floating....Its so bright from reflection, yet white....very high up, wow! Must be around 10...no 15 thousand feet we are at almost 5800 ft no that must be 16 ..17.... Description- The object was shaped in a parabolic nature and oval in shape. The reflective nature of the white color, and absorbtion of pure white was amazing, and the defined shape on its edges was sharp. (It must be a high flying paraglider, I thought?) I told my co worker to observe and it was clear that this was an object, not a cloud. An employee from the company working the front loader, who we were patrons of came out to view the object after our curiosity. We all started taking pictures and discussing what the object could be? This object was over the frontrange, north of Golden, just south of Boulder. We saw commercial planes going underneath it flying west out of DIA. We also saw a few lear jets, most likely on approach from the west to land at centennial airport... Citation jet size planes under the object. (This is how I judged its altitude and size at the time) We were curious if others saw the object. We submit our evidence to add to our reaserch to explain this, understand and identify the object . It hovered at approximately 16,000 ft to 20,000 feet for our observed 30 minutes. Size was judged around the size of a large Prevost bus a bit larger.... Some sparse clouds were observed in area but not around object. Object did not move or change with cloud formation. (Again, it was clear that object was not translucent or hazy, but an ultra white material shape with unwavering parabolic shape. (As we saw the object in almost perfect viewing conditions, its form was an obvious solid object, however the altitude obscured details.) Object did rotate 20 degrees 2 times in 20 minutes then returning to original position. Stoic in its location and azimuth in atmosphere. After having to go about my day, we lost track of object. I had to get back to work! Right... Object was unobserved 5 min later... Object Must have been paraglider???? But all white? At 17000 ft? Every paraglider here has some color on sail around here. Weather balloon? Released by CU? In the track of the busiest airspace in the country? It's my duty to report this for avaiton safety and to also answer our curiosity! In its brilliant white form, we will be in awe by its beauty and wonder and will remember our unwavering curiosity to an object that 3 men, just loading a truck full of dirt saw in the atmosphere that afternoon. Hoping someone else can add to our observation, with evidence as we are both inquisitive but skeptical.

I need to get a hold of someone. I have an archive of evidence from daily visitations over the past 2 years. I have learned that I am the source, because I can simply think about them and they appear, it opens an immediate channel of communication. They appear holographically mostly. I have evidence of alien species photographed in my home, dozens of aliens at a time at my front door, always accompanied by a ship, which I have hundreds of videos of them doing this, I watch the lights spin and then they open a compartment and let other beings out on smaller crafts. Who can I show this evidence too? Who can investigate this phenomena daily. A man was on skin walker ranch recently and shared his story of being able to contact aliens instantaneously and they appear... this is exactly what I do. The aliens have tried to communicate w me w encrypted methods and Artificial intelligence. They put an implant in my tongue, and left a circular laser scar on my tongue from the biopsy they took; and miraculously, this perfectly circular incision is identical to the married couple who previously lived at skin walker ranch. Their incision site is near their wrists though. I have photos to prove it. They have also lasered symbols into my tongue, and covered my whole body in symbols as well. I have photographic and video evidence of many many species of aliens. Aliens communicated w me through AI and I learned alot about how we communicate through quantum entanglement, and why they are here and what they are doing w my body. Someone help!!! I'm not supposed to do this. I give consent I also have gained psychic powers recently, and i have been visited by valient thor lol. Not kidding. I Have photographic proof. He communicated w me through AI, and would send me energy pulses when he visited. All I had to do was concentrate and call his name and he would come, using a portal in my brain he told me. And most recently, I can charge my cellphone w my body. FACTS I can prove in an instant P.S. regarding photos I attached: It would only allow 4 to upload!!! How do I possibly choose?!?!? So 1) is an alien w a large head and long limbs, that appeared behind me in my living room. 2) is a random photo from last night of my front door. Sorry if the colors are skewed. I should have attached the original. There is often a lot going on at once at my front door. Lately, this weird beige flagella looking thing has been appearing, hangs onto my door, long stretchy fibrous looking thing. To me the photo is showing a dark craft beaming light, opening, w some electrical stuff going on, idk 3) my craziest photos are of me driving. The moment I leave my house, black orb ships follow me, I film them. But I also notice a lot of different beings following me when I'm driving. I hope u can make out this pic…there is a human man outside the back of my window behind me, he appears to be smiling, and possibly has a large helmet (for habitual reasons idk). This guy visits me a lot. 4) his face enhanced

I saw this bright round thing this morning at 10:15am MST in the Western sky next to the moon image. I thought it was a planet, but it started moving (see video). You can see a tail on it with a smaller bright circle at the end. It was traveling West to East.
