We were looking at the stars. As we do frequently whilst out walking the dog. Then we noticed what appeared to look like a star moving very quickly and then fade away and disappear then followed by 5 more exactly the same with seconds of each other all going in the same direction and we just knew it was like nothing we’ve ever seen before. Then a few minutes later we saw another two going in a different direction and these two were zig zagging bust still moving so fast. Then last we saw another one that was so bright it was almost like it was closer to us, and it went in a different direction very quickly and starting to fade away until it completely vanished. We just know that these were UFO aircrafts. It was unbelievable, once in a lifetime experience. Neither of us had our phones for the first time probably ever. Not that we would of even had a chance to take a photo of video as we were just completely speechless and staring at the sky! Even the dog was barking and watching it was surreal. The sky was then half covered by cloud cover and we left. I’ve never reported anything like this before but I just felt like I had to - I would like to remain anonymous as I don’t want people thinking I’m crazy. But I hope this is useful some how to research etc

The light in the front blinked and another followed. It stayed exactly the same distance the whole time. It traveled slow and steadily and did not change path. The lights were too far apart for me to think it was one plane in the distance. And it traveled to slow for me to think it was a large plane closer. I could not see anything that would connect the lights.

We saw an intense white light like a star moving down in the sky for 30 seconds then disappeared then appeared again after ten seconds

Attention was drawn skyward as a friend and I couldn't decide if the lights we were watching were an airliner or a small drone. Grabbed optics, confirmed it as a commercial flight heading north at a high alt. Continued to look at the stars when it hit us, some of the stars are moving. Moving, stopping for awhile, moving again. Changing directions multiple times. Some moving gracefully and others rapidly. Multiple different ones going different directions vanished for no reason, all stars still unobstructed around the spot they just disappeared in. Unable to make out any discernable details with optics. They must be extremely high in alt. Much higher than the airline that just flew through the same sky. Hard to say how many for sure. It's still taking place. We've also been tracking individual ones and likely missing several more. Bizarrely there are these incredibly fast moving (faster than meteors) streaks of pure white light that are all going in the same direction roughly SW to W. Only visible for literally just split second flashes. Most of them you can't look directly at before they're already gone. The sun is Rising now, stars are fading. These moving objects are still visible. I'm looking at Jupiter sitting high and bright directly in front of me, the rising moon is sitting right on my left shoulder. At "1:30" from me if Jupiter itself is the 12th hour on the clock face, is the section of sky these white lightning fast, faster than lightning actually, streaks are flashing. Only to my right and nowhere else. The moving objects are everywhere in the in my field of view of the sky. Some seem to be twinkling much like a star. Others are much more bold with contrast flashing from white to red, to blue, to white, to green, but very fast and unmistakably cycling through several different colors. Absolutely no sound of any kind. Truly a once in a lifetime moment right now. I'm in disbelief that I would ever find myself feeling obligated to report this, and that I'm getting to see this with my own eyes. Incredible is all I can say. I stare at the night sky all the time through different optics. I love looking at the same old moon face I see every time, like it's the first time up close. I like to take amateur photos of the moon, planets, and other things easily seen with very low cost equipment or my phone. I've never seen even 1 or 2 objects like this ever before. Suddenly they're absolutely all over the sky. My biggest regret now is that I didn't start looking much sooner.

I'm visiting my parents in their 55 and up community from NH. I was walking around the paved path that marks the perimeter and when I was on the far side from my parents, the west side, I saw a red dot moving silently north. I look away for a second and it was gone. As I continued I got closer to my parents place and up in the sky over the farm I see the light again, this time moving east to south. As it did it made a harder bank and came back at me, then almost immediately banked back around on its original heading. I looked down for 1 second and it was gone again. I could see and hear other aircraft in the area and I've worked on a flightline in the Air Force, I've never seen anything make that kind of maneuver that tight and not have strobes on it or make a sound and just be a small silent red dot in the sky over an Amish farm.

The best way to describe it would be like a strobe light but brighter, white light. I noticed a plane not far from it and recognized the significant size and brightness compared to the aircraft's lights. But I have no way to discern how high up the bright flash was in comparison to the plane.

On home back porch observatory, at 9:30 PM roughly, I noticed a single, bright non-star light, moving slightly at first and then erratically high above and near apex of our home, at 202 Red Earth Drive, on the north side. By 9:42 PM, to distinguish between a plane and said moving light, an iPad captured differences between aircraft and single bright light which began to move. Then, about 15 minutes later, I asked my wife of 47 years who was inside the house to help discern this unusual light with me. At the exact moment she walks onto the porch area and looks upward, a Star Link night-train went by which was a first for us both. That sighting was followed by a lone, regular satellite, with both going northwest. The iPad documents my wife confirming bright light's movement, to three directions and returning. By then I remark, "We have a probable UFO." My arms, at 71 years of age, got tired of filming attempts and I switched to binoculars. I could see the bright light that blended in with Milky Way was seemingly channeling a lone line of smaller lights, which reminded me of trout fish being shot through a plastic tube by natural resource workers. Whichever way the bright light went, so too did the celestial tube of smaller lights as if it was windy so high above. Considering recent CMEs, the heavens may have been volatile. My wife got cold and went inside. I followed and there was a feeling of content. No need to set-up digital camera with zoom lens. We knew what we saw were not stars. Our observations were Facebook-posted last night and revised today. Please review the details given there. The video isn't the best, but if there's a video editor app that can stabilize and distinguish between my shakes and that of a moving UFO, any recommendations appreciated. My wife and I have had previous encounters with UFOs, with a chapter of our 2-night 1980 encounter in Black Eagle Child, Univ. of Iowa Press, 1992. Last night's bright moving light was my wife's fourth sighting whereas mine was the 6th since 1968.

See above. Seen by my mother and father in law. No visible object just the lights in a long straight line Starlink?

Round redish orange light crossing over San Gabriel mountains going east to west very slowly. There were planes close by that had visible red and white blinking lights so we knew it wasn't a plane. All of a sudden vanished like it was turned off.

Last night( this morning) I saw two star like objects moving parallel to each other, one a bit back from the other heading south, then about one minute later came a third the same only it veered off a bit east then continued on about 4 20 am. If they were at 35,000 ft like a commercial plane they were incredibly fast.

It looked like a moving star because it was so far away. It didn’t blink like a satellite and was way too high up to be a plane, and, I know what plane lights look like because I see them flying to the local airport sometimes. It wasn’t that. I saw it in the sky southwest of my location, but it moved to dead center of the sky where I was at, so a pretty significant distance. I also noticed it sometimes it would fly around to reposition itself, as well as sometimes moving significantly up and significantly down. It was still there when I went inside. This is the second sighting I’ve had in this county in 3 years, but the ships looked different. The other was golden with a subcraft that detached to, from how it looked, study the moon before rejoinging and flying away.

Hi, my names Dylan, early this morning I was sitting on the little roof ledge I spent most mornings and nights on, I enjoy trying to find constellations ( I never manage to see) & the somewhat common occurrence of falling stars or meteors which I have a keen eye for, and I was paying attention to one in particular because it wasn’t going the usual left to right or right to left in a downward slope, i could only beat describe it as it was leveling out, almost as if it was dropping altitude but trying to control it, and coming from someone who’s on the edge of what to believe or not it had my attention, the entire remaining 30 seconds of the sight it moved in various directions, sometimes going slightly up at an angle, and sometimes moving strait down, and I don’t know if this next part relates to it at all, but it was a weird quiet that night, even before I saw it, no crickets, frogs, cars, just the white noise the silence was enhancing, I wasn’t sure who to contact so I researched this website is one of the best places to contact

Was omw to work stopped at stoplight. I was fixing to make a lft. turn off Oakwood Ave. onto Winecoff Sch. Rd. I like the Planets so everyday I look E at Venus Mars Jupiter and Saturn. They are easy to see at this place and time. I rolled down my window and looked out. At about a 30 degree angle up, ESE, I saw what looked like 2 headlights just stationary off in the distance. The light changed and I looked away to turn lft. A second later it would be out my windshield then. The lft. Light faded out and the other went behind tree as I drove. 10 seconds later when I should see it again, it was gone. I was kinda iffy at what I saw and kinda questioned myself. That's until a second event occurred the next Saturday morning at 4:00am 7/23/22 I walked out my basement door with binoculars around my neck and phone in pocket to look at the planets.(I kinda sky watch regularly.) I was walking W by the trees in my front yard so I could see the sky because of the trees. I passed them, turned lft and looked up in the sky. I was surprised to see in the SSE at about a 45 degree angle up the same 2 headlight looking lights were stationary in the sky. I looked at it/them for about 8 seconds. I smiled because it confirmed with me what I saw on 7/15. I thought get a picture. I looked away to grab my cell phone to grab a pic. I looked back up at it with my phone in hand and was trying to get to my camera. I was looking at the lights for a few seconds and they faded out of sight quickly both lights at the same time. I stayed out looking til 5:30 am but saw nothing else. The lights were way bigger and brighter than Jupiter. Idk but it looked like a cars headlights at night coming straight at you at a distance of about a full 1 mile or better size and brightness. Or maybe like 75 to 100 times bigger and brighter than Jupiter which was out then. The light was more of a yellowish color though. Not white like a newer car headlights. The Investigator can call if needed.

The past three nights. Each night. I was standing on my back porch and see many UAP in the night sky. They are not aircraft. They are stationary in some cases. Moving in other cases. The stationary UAP have a string of lights. They also appear to have a V shape string of lights. I know they are not stars. They are too high up to be helicopters. They sit there in the sky for long periods of time. I have graduate degrees in history and education. I am 54 years old. Male.

We are still looking at lights that appear to be autonomous. They look like stars however they are zig zagging over my house. They appear to be just as far away as stars. An airplane even flew by for comparison. One vanished while still in the middle of the sky. There's nothing anyone can do about it, but they're definitely just hanging out above us.

Traveling in a west to east direction I saw what looked like a very bright satellite appear and get brighter. It then quickly faded to black. This was followed by 4 more of the same objects. Each was visible for about 3 seconds then disappeared to be followed by another about 3 seconds after the previous object had disappeared. Each object quickly got as bright as a very bright star while moving west to east then quickly faded to black in about 3 seconds. Each was visible for the same amount of time and the same distance, equivalent to about 4-6 inches held 18-24 inches from the eyes.

While looking up at the interesting cloud formations I noticed a bunch of white spots moving together in the sky. At first I thought maybe a flock of seagulls but then remembered there's no seagulls in the area at this time. Then noticed they were moving together not in a v formation but more like how starlings move together in unison in more of a cloud. Then I saw them all apparently turning at another angle in unison and I could see what looked like metallic glints on them so they must have been metal. They were hard to see at times and then suddenly they were brighter. They must have been drones moving in sync or...

I have video footage from my uncle as well as a picture he took, if you zoom in on the picture you can clearly see the white lights, and one video clearly shows the objects moving around and there were many objects.

I went outside to look at the sky, it is monsoon season. I saw a flashing light so I took a quick cell video and this is what I captured. This is not normal to see this kind of flashing light in the sky.

I was standing out in my front yard and saw these super bright orange lights, and with super fast movement, they'd disappear and within a second or less they'd reappear in the complete opposite direction!! At one point the neighbor that was witnessing this with me, he had a car in his yard that is broken down and no battery is even in the car and the lights went on and then off in less than a second… and then a house 2 doors down on the other side of the street, had their car lights blink and then off incredibly quickly!! This is no BS!!! I saw it and it blew me away!! Also, the neighbor that witnessed this said that his sister had seen it also!! We're in Everett WA … and it was a pretty clear night, the stars were out… and I guess so were the UFO's!! Craziest thing I've ever seen in my 50 years of life!!

Initially only one object was seen, a bright orange light which pulsed twice before disappearing. After about five minutes we witnessed what we believed to be the same object, brighter than before, shining in the same place it was initially seen. It pulsed once, shining for 1.5-2 seconds, then a second orange light appeared next to it, pulsed once in the same manner, after which the first light pulsed a second time. They repeated this process twice more and then both shone brightly for half a second before fading away. No further visual contact.

I have no formal training but have been satellite spotting with my father for almost 20 years. Tonight I saw what appeared to be two satellites moving almost in a parallel orbit but One was moving slightly on an angle toward the other and was moving slightly faster. I noted this Becuaue I always pay extra attention to multiple in proximity. Then the one seemed to be closing in and tracking the other from what looked to be much higher up but closing in on it in from the southwest to north east. The one that was being tracking was moving almost directly south to north. The one that came from behind got what in my view was pretty close and then veered almost 90 degrees within a split second, it was almost instantaneously. It then resumed a straight but noticeably slower path directly east southeast after and looked just like any other satellite again. I would never report this if I didn’t see this. I don’t know if it was USA checking out something flying over our airspace or if it was something tracking one of our satellites but saw exactly what I just described it there is zero chance either of them were airplanes. I have NEVER seen anything like that before. And what creeped me out was it seemed to notice that I noticed or something else noticed it was tracking the other object and then tried to look as if it were any other satellite. Just after making what I saw was a serious change in direction in less than a second, it seemed intelligent or controlled and was trying to look like a satellite from the ground or what have you. If someone could get back to me on this I would be enveloped. Please bring me into the black projects I feel like I was meant to see that. I then saw another satellite on the exact same trajectory as the one being tracked not even two minutes later.

Le 16 juillet 2022 à 01h45, un témoin, présent sur un terrain en zone rurale à Frambouhans (25) à l'occasion d'un festival de musique, observe pendant quelques minutes un point lumineux blanc, comparable à une étoile, en déplacement selon une trajectoire rectiligne à vitesse constante. Initialement repéré dans le secteur nord-ouest, le phénomène a poursuivi sa course vers l'est ou le nord-est, couvrant une portion angulaire estimée entre 90 et 100 degrés de la voûte céleste, à une élévation comprise entre 45° et 60°, avant de disparaître du champ visuel. Ce cas est de consistance moyenne, avec un seul témoin ayant officiellement transmis son observation au GEIPAN, et deux photographies disponibles sous forme de copies, néanmoins jugées exploitables dans le cadre de l'analyse.". *selon les critères du GEIPAN, la consistance est la quantité d'informations considérées comme fiables et objectivées, recueillies pour un témoignage. L'analyse a conclu que le témoin avait observé la Station Spatiale Internationale (ISS). En effet, l'apparence et le comportement du PAN sont très semblables à ceux de l'ISS (voir le compte rendu d'enquête) : - Forme ponctuelle, - Couleur blanche, - Trajectoire rectiligne, - Déplacement du nord-ouest vers l'est ou le nord-est, très proche de celui de l'ISS évoluant de l'ouest-nord-ouest à l'est. - Les élévations initiale et finale du PAN sont tout à fait dans l'ordre de grandeur indiqué par le témoin pour le PAN. - L'heure d'observation, 1h45 est celle du début de visibilité de l'ISS, soit un léger décalage par rapport à son passage selon l'élévation mentionnée par le témoin, - La durée d'observation du PAN, de quelques minutes, est tout à fait compatible avec la durée totale de visibilité de l'ISS, qui est de 6 mn 35. Le témoin indiquait par ailleurs avoir initialement pensé à un satellite, tout en signalant une étrangeté liée à l'apparence du PAN sur les photographies. L'analyse des images a permis de démontrer que les déformations et colorations observées résultaient d'effets classiques de filé et de défocalisation, typiques de prises de vue réalisées dans ce type de conditions. Il s'agit d'artefacts photographiques bien connus. Le GEIPAN classe cette observation en « A » : observation de l'ISS et artefacts photographiques. [GEIPAN classification A — ISS]

I was standing on the sidewalk outside of the gas station, on 3rd Avenue, looking west-southwest, and at about 50 degrees, and about 1000ft high, was a prismatic light, moving at a very slow rate. It noted that it had no aircraft lights, was not making a sound, and was far too high to be a drone. I stopped a few people in the close vicinity, and asked them if it was moving and what they thought it was. No one said, "satellite" which tells me it was far too close to be one. Someone suggested maybe a drone, but we both realized it was way too high, and any drone that could fly that high would have aircraft lights. It was by far the brightest thing in the sky, and it was a brilliant, bright white that was almost prismatic in it's color. My phone was dead, I recall, because I wanted to get a video of it, and was very annoyed that I couldn't.
