I was calling my cat to come inside when I saw a circle hovering by the pool up the road. It looked like it had smoke coming off of it but I was not sure it was cloudy that and this night but what I saw left me speechless.

There are two. The first video is actually on my TikTok . ( it’s my personal account) the real videos are gone somehow ( that happened in December) Then there is a second video from April 9th 2022. These aren’t lights and made up. This happened . At one point there were two and they were racing . I have really bad side effects when they are around . I get a loud buzz in my ear and it causes me to have seizure like episodes . They come and go occasionally then I look outside and there is one outside the window in our backyard. I am going to try and find the original videos because I sent them to friends after it had happened .

We were coming home on our road and spotted several small blinking light across the sky. They were moving around in the sky. We have lived in this rural area and have never seen anything like it. Then there was a larger one that seemed closer and was bigger. If you look close you can briefly see smaller lights blinking around it also

I’m a cross country truck driver these balls where moving slowly Southwest, I was driving a hazmat tanker so I couldn’t stop to photograph. They were in several groups the first was in a classic V formation the other were in groups of 3. They were flying under the cloud cover there were thunderstorms in the area that night. I drove underneath them and could see them behind me in my rear view also.

I Came Out My Backdoor looked up noticed large circular lights flying overhead like in a square formation right over my tree in my backyard about Treetop level. It was silent.. I ran to get my husband in his building and by the time he came out it had traveled about 100 feet in about a minute time. He came out and saw four circular lights no light shining down but there were huge whitish-blue bright light circles in square formation. It continued flying about 400 feet to where it was out of sight over trees in our backyard.

Round black object in sky. At first we thought it was a hot air balloon but it DID NOT MOVE. And we concluded it was way too high for a balloon. It hovered just below the clouds. It was not a helicopter, Completely the wrong shape. We watch it just hang in the air as we were driving. Lost sight of it because we had to exit a rotary and change direction. It almost looked like someone took a sharpie and drew a circle in the sky as it looked flat.

Was going into work this morning and saw alot of chemtrails in the sky. So I was going to take a picture of them . I used my phone and took 2 quick snap pictures. Was showing them to friends at work and they pointed the ufo out at that point I zoomed in and noticed it was something strange. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Certain]

The object appeared to be pulsating. Slightly traveling to the left however not noticible in the video. When the motion sensor lights came on and the camera had a flash the object darted out of sight.

While admiring the beauty of the clouds this morning, a UAP appeared directly in my field of vision. I starte at it the whole time it, trying to detect and determine the nature of what I was viewing. It looked similar to a headlamp on a train and too bright to be a planet. I checked and there are no planets anywhere near this part of the sky at this time. It did not appear to move in any direction and the shape and intensity of light suggested some sort of in-place motion such as spinning or oscillating. After about 30 seconds or so it vanished. Morning sky was lightly cloudy and the light appeared to somehow be punching through the clouds. The sky lighting and color was in very high contrast to the object viewed. The spot was way too bright to be a planet, but the distance and size light intensity was wrong for it to be any kind of naturally occurring reflection of the sun. Since the sightline is in the general direction of the US White House, I was curious and used a compass to get the direction of the sighting and plotted a rough trajectory to see where the vector would fall on Google Maps. My best guess about where I think the object may have been hovering based on what I saw, is indicated by the bold red arrow on the UAP_map_vector_2021-12-07_8-22-06.png image uploaded. The area highlighted is between the White House and Andrews Air Force Base. I worked as a lighting design engineer in a previous career which developed advanced knowledge of human vision, perception and psychology of seeing. I don't seek out UAPs and this is the first time I have reported one. I am reporting it primarily because of perceived proximity to important Federal institutions.

The sighting started as one light then one by one about 20 lights appeared in a line. The lights were moving at a fair rate of speed and travelled about halfway across the sky in about two minutes. The lights then disappeared one by one. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

Me and two of my friends were outside of my car in Rutherford, NJ. When my one friend said to look up and we all saw a straight line of unevenly spaced white, bright circles. It's unknown how many there were but from my video I could count at least 22 visible circles. they were moving in a completely straight line at a constant velocity and seemed very high up in the air. we watched it/ them cut across the sky for about a minute before it/ them just disappeared. We live in a very bright area where seeing stars is hard, these could not be confused with stars due to the fact that they were moving and could also not be confused for a plane, we see plenty of planes in our area and none have ever looked like this.

Me and my friend were chatting in front of his house, on southwest Wichita, ks. And then we saw a 1/2 circle in the sky it was huge it stayed there for a hot minute and then vanished. I am skeptical when it come to UFO but this experience made me believe that they really exist.

It was around 5:30 pm. It was dusk but still light outside. As my son and I were pulling out of the Walmart and turning left onto Franklin rd, I noticed an oddly bright, low, and large “star” in the sky almost directly in front of us. I asked my son what he thought it was he said it could be a big star or planet. We both said it was still so bright outside to see a star and it was definitely too large for a star. I thought it was also very low in the sky. Our light changed and I said well it’s probably a planet or something and we made a right hand turn onto Franklin rd and ran another errand. About 40-45 minutes later we were finished. It was now completely dark and we were heading home driving down Bent mountain rd when we spotted it again. It was in the exact same spot but we were seeing it from the back side now. A different perspective from the first time we saw it. It was now a little more discernible. It was very bright in the sky and lower than any other “star”. I now noticed it was oddly shaped. It was circular but with possibly an appendage coming from the top left area. My son even said he thought something was coming out of it. It was now emitting a bluish green light from only the top left of the “craft” over the area where, what I thought was some kind of appendage. My son thought the appendage was just light glare. The bottom of the “craft” was emitting white light. I could now tell it had a shape, meaning I could discern it was a 3 dimensional circular object. Not just a light in the sky. It appeared to be a craft of some type. I cannot say how high in the sky it was, other than to say it was about 4x the size of a large bright star. My son thought it maybe moved a little but I thought it was stationary. It was difficult to tell because we were driving about 45 mph on a fairly winding rd. I’m certain it never moved. We viewed it almost the entire drive down bent mountain rd. I was driving so I only was able to look at it for a few seconds then turn my eyes back to the road. It was in view in the neighborhood of about 4 minutes. We lost sight of it once we got closer to 12 O’clock Knob rd. We made our right hand turn on that rd and then a left onto Lost Mountain rd. I was hoping we would be able to see it again once we arrived at our house but we couldn’t from our elevation. We live in a Mountain area surrounded by trees. Anyway, there were a lot of people on the road and I can’t imagine we were the only people to notice it. One other thing that may be helpful. We live about 30 min from Roanoke airport and we saw an airplane in the vicinity of the object.

The bright light followed my car for about 10 minutes. After that it was on the side of my car and then disappeared abruptly.. After about 10 minutes it reappeared again in front of my car and stayed in the same position. It was very bright and circular. I got out of my car and took a picture and when I got home and zoomed in you could see that it was man made and there were little circles all around the outside edges edges. I screenshot the zoomed in photo and attached that too . This happened on Highway 260 between Springerville and Pinetop in a dark secluded area near Sunrise Ski Resort.

I saw a bright light from some kind of craft in the sky and it looked odd to me. I questioned whether it could’ve been a plane or not and decided to take out my phone to record it just incase it was a UFO. I only watched the craft with my naked eyes for maybe three seconds or so. After that I was just watching it through my phone screen because I wanted to capture it all on video. Upon starting the video you can see the object is moving straight but then it starts to move in ways that planes and helicopters are not capable of. Its speed and movements were very erratic. Then some trees had got in the way and so I kept the video recording while I walked away a little bit so I could get more video footage of it. Once I spotted the craft again it was very far away. I aimed my camera back at the craft and you can see the light(s) from the craft flashing. It was alternating between a dull light and a bright light.

Drinking coffee on deck. At first though was airplane with landing light on and paid little attention. Looked up again in couple minutes and was some round light coming at me. Never saw any of top part, just bright light facing to the ground. Believe speed was 50-100 mpr, and 700’ + ~ and was much bigger than my house. Was coming straight for my house on easterly course. Almost to my house and suddenly turned to south direction.no noise no banking. I ran around corner of house and watched it disappear. I was helicopter pilot in army and have several thousand hours. I know nothing can turn on a dime with out banking. It was just a huge bright light. I have another sighting lately in august 2022. About midnight I was on my south deck smoking when 2 objects appeared to the south of my house, looked like big cigars and both had lights on both sides that flashed on both sides of the objects. Blue and red constantly flashing. Flying fairly slow and low. They came directly over my house so I went out other door and they turned to the northwest and climbed fairly rapidly. Had my camera on video but but not smart enough to push the right button to record. Did have a low growling noise.

Very bight light located as reported in the sentence above. The light was stationery and there were clouds behind it and it was before sunset, so it was not a star. We watched it for about 5 minutes as clouds passed behind it. Finally it became obscured by cloud cover.

This took place at the Edith Wharton house during the winter festival of lights in the Berkshires. The grounds of the mansion are lit up with multicolored lights that are in sync with music, causing the forest to light up with multi-colored strobing light and a beautiful show in the woods. As we were walking to the next exhibit I looked up and not far above my head (maybe 100 feet) was a large object that seemed to float above us moving slowly. The craft did not make any noise, unlike any type of thing my wife and I had ever seen. This craft had unusual orange lighting, also unlike anything my wife and I had seen. If I was to guess the size I would say it was 15x15. At first it seemed like a disk, as it glided past us it then seemed to be a triangle based on the orange lighting on the craft. It stayed low in the sky and continued to move out into the distance about a mile out, where it seemed to pause in mid air and hover. The craft stayed in this position a mile out for the remainder of the sighting. After watching the craft for a few minutes in awe we decided to move to the next exhibit and gave up on watching as it was bitterly cold and stopped moving. My only regret is that I did not take any kind of video or picture, we were frozen in disbelief of what we saw. Without a shadow of doubt this was no plane or drone, It was like they were coming to check out the light show that was in the middle of the forest.

My husband and I saw two round objects that looked to be on fire or with heavy sparks coming from it. We originally thought it was fire works but the objects moved side ways and up and down. They also would dim sparks and then re fire up. The objects would also slow and stop at times. This lasted for no more than 5 minutes

My friend and I were sitting outside on her stairs, when we both noticed an orange colored roundish thing coming in our direction, there was no sound, it moved in a straight path, no change in altitude, constant rate of speed, parallel to the ground, no blinking lights of any kind just solid color. I had enough time to consider what it wasn’t, wasn’t a plane, paper lantern, rocket launch, (I live on the space coast and watch almost every shuttle/rocket launch there is) shooting star, meteor, Life Flight, or anything else I could think of. I had enough time to take a picture. I was about to lose sight of it so I ran up the stairs, through the house to the opposite side where there is a screened and open porch but first I had to unlock the door and undoggy proof it (bungee cord) ( her 2 German Shepards open the door and let themselves out all the time). By the time I did make it out there the object was gone or I couldn’t see it anymore. As I was coming back through the house I opened my Flightradar24- there was nothing in my vicinity at that time. All was quite on radar.

I was in the passenger seat driving up the Northern California coast at night, looking out over the ocean and all of a sudden two yellow/orange lights appeared high in the sky. They were a little closer together than a car’s headlights and didn’t move or pulse. About the size of the moon. After 10 seconds of trying to figure them out they just turned off suddenly and the sky was black again. The driver saw the same thing happen and neither of us spoke until it disappeared to ask if each other just saw that.

I had been visiting a friend in Montrose, Colorado on Thanksgiving 2021. I live in Grand Junction, Colorado so after dinner I was driving on highway 50 back home. At around 8:15pm, I just passed Olathe, Colorado and the Tiger Propane business when I saw a circular craft flying in the tree line near some farms in the area to the right of the highway. The craft was metallic, a dull gray color. Not shiny but dull. It seemed a little bigger than a large suv. It was a perfect circle. It was flying slightly faster than my car and was only a few hundred feet off the ground. It came out of the tree line and I got a perfect look at it. It paralleled my car for a mile or two over a large crop area. It then sped up and got ahead of me about a quarter mile. It then shot across the highway in front of me and then completely disappeared on the other side of the highway. I had my cruise control set at 70mph at the time so the speed of the craft was interesting. When I passed the area of the highway where it crossed the highway the lights in my rear view mirrors became wavy. It was almost as though I was driving through an area where there was a disturbance in the air. That only lasted a few seconds and then I could easily see the lights behind me. At first I thought it was a weather balloon but it did not move like a balloon. It also gained speed fast. Also it completely disappeared. I am not a ufo junkie and not someone that reports these kind of things but this incident and what I saw is not something I can forget so I figure I should report it so that if someone wants to they can investigate it.
