Pompton Lakes, NJ
As I walked out my front for to my car on the street out of the corner of my eye I saw a bright orange/amber light moving across the sky. It did not have hard edges so I believed it to be in the clouds. As someone who likes watching the ISS I stopped to watch it and quickly noted that it was 1) too big to be the ISS, 2) too orange to be the ISS, 3) moving too fast to be the ISS. As soon as the first object (that is, the first one I saw) moved out of sight behind my home I saw flickering behind the trees and a second object made its way from behind the trees into the clearing, loving in the same direction as the first, at the same speed, but seemingly farther away. This repeated several times and I saw 5 objects in total. I was unable to film the one of the objects as it was behind the trees but seemingly below the horizon. This object was not high enough to appear in the clearing. I did a quick Google and Twitter search and found Tweets and web posts from FOX23 NJ and PIX11 — both NYC-area news outlets. These posts were five days old (posted October 17, assumedly) and reported on a large cluster of similar objects over Paterson, NJ. There was video of the event.

Gulf Shores, AL
The first night of my vacation in Gulf Shores, AL, around 7 pm: After having dinner my fiancé and I returned to our condo. I was on the balcony watching the night sky and the lights of the boats on the horizon, when out of nowhere what I would describe as a cluster of lights appeared in the horizon that were very bright. There was what I would assume to be a fishing boat on the horizon as well, that had a lot of lights, but this group of lights were much brighter. The lights faded out, and reappeared in the horizon closer to my location. There was one light that then divided into 5 lights and then faded and came back again. I was able to only capture a small amount of video as my phone storage is low. However, I watched these lights for at least 10 minutes or longer. My fiancé was otherwise occupied in the restroom and missed the whole thing. The video is not the greatest quality, but you can definitely see the lights. I’ve never seen anything like this. Drones don’t multiply themselves do they? The video shows one light becom! e 2. At first I thought maybe a drone swarm, but this light, this thing, can’t explain what I saw, but I know its not normal to see something like this.

Mokena, IL
Me and my neighbor were outside on my patio relaxing and looking at the full moon. I went inside to get my camera to take pictures of the moon. As soon as I walked back outside I saw what looked like glowing orbs traveling across the sky heading north from the south. I was able to film most of them. They looked to be 500 to 1000 feet from the ground traveling at approximately 45 to 75 mph in a straight line. They made no sound.

Cypress, TX
My wife, my daughter and my son in law were on a boat in one of the lakes of the Towne Lake subdivision. I was searching the sky with my Bestguarder infrared camera and caught in a video a UFO in the form of a sphere (like an orb), but it was not visible to the naked eye and it did not have any sound. It was flying very low and, as you can see in the video, there is a moment in which it rapidly changes direction. The object is fully illuminated but its contour is not fully defined. It looks like it has an aura around it.

Meriden, CT
Using Night vision Binoculars,I was looking for ufos.I observed an object up in the night sky at around 10 or 11 o'clock pm moving from South to North slowly. It looked like a star,it was small.when I flashed my light up in its direction, it stopped moving. If I hadn't been watching it, I would think it’s a star. I flashed the light again and it began moving back South, then turned and went from West to East or my left to my right and started moving in front of me and it went from a small start to a large orb bright white light, seemed brighter that the Sun, like it shimmered.Its at this point I picked up the infrared night vision binoculars again which I had put down to look with my naked eyes, and that's where I started to video. Its shaky because I didn't have time to get a tripod and my adrenaline was pumping. It moved across my vision up in the sky. I watched it move silently, it wasn't space junk or a plane, helicopter, drone, it moved intelligently and was completely silent. I flashed it again with my light and as seen, it got small again and moved back out into space.later it came back and moved right to left up on the sky and was hard to see unless you had the Infrared binocs on. I have been doing this for 3 years and have seen many objects moving up in the sky,but this one was different. It changed direction a few times, went from dim to super bright then dim again, and it was silent, like it was watching or observing me because I had flashed a laser up in their direction. Never at it of course.

Sumter, SC
While sitting on our patio watching birds coming in to roost as the sun was just below the horizon, we both noticed a round object flying from left to right above our treeline about a mile out (max) and perhaps 1,000 to 2,000 foot altitude. Due to the white color I assumed it was just an aircraft reflecting the setting sun making it appear white. I then realized I could actually watch the while smoothly become black, then white in a steady transition. The darkness was rotating from the left as would the white during the light dark light transitions of the object. By the time I realized this was unlike anything I had seen before, it was too late to grab a camera as it moved behind my treeline as It moved along . Background on me, I served in the US Army Infantry airborne for 12 years. I work on a Airforce based, and have a clearance. Ice seen plenty of things in my time, I am 62. I doubt we have this type of technology. No sound at all. We have a bombing range nearby and only F16's here. No jet looks like this. I would describe this as a ball that is light and dark which slowly rotates whileovi g smoothly and not terrible fast.

Summerville, SC
We were painting our garage floor, so we placed everything from our garage on the driveway and patio. I sat our ring camera on the deep freeze on the patio to watch our golfcart overnight. The camera was pointing west toward our driveway. I had never sat a camera outside like this before. My son and I went in and were talking upstairs when my phone alerted that there was motion about 15 minutes after we went in. My son and I clicked on the ring camera app on my phone, and we saw two synchronized light orbs come down from the sky. As the orbs came lower something darted at them (could have been a bird or bug) and then they shot down right in front of the deep freeze and some beach chairs that were up against it. After a couple of seconds, the orbs come back up, they pause and then fly directly over the camera. The video captured the sighting which lasted about 16 seconds from when it appeared to when they fly over the camera. This video is unlike anything anyone has ever seen. I showed a few people, and they could not explain it.

Georgetown, TX
I was enjoying the clear blue sky facing North standing in the shade of my house when I noticed what I first thought was a high flying white bird I had to tilt my head up to maybe 45 degrees to see it better. Within a couple of seconds I realized it wasn’t moving like a bird and was more a white round object moving at a consistent speed pretty fast East to West. At that point I noticed a second object moving with it but not as bright. My speculation is the second object might have been at a higher altitude. The first object if compared to a star at night stood out like Jupiter would. The second object was much more dim. I have the sense that these objects were in earths atmosphere about 10,000 feet moving fast subsonic (I heard no sound). After about five to seven seconds I was no longer able to see them as they traveled West. Thank You

Avoca, NY
Extremely large Sphere, silver or chrome in finish/color, appeared to be hovering in the sky , not moving then suddenly seemed to disappear in to the stratosphere. I was driving my car on NYS highway 415 northbound and the sphere was hovering above the hills that run parallel to state highway 415 in Avoca, NY by the gas station and corn field. It is hard to discern exact size, since I observed the sphere while in a moving vehicle. The same experience took place approximately 4 months ago, at approximately the same time, and the skies were also approximately the same conditions. Blue sky, little wind, partly cloudy and sunny. The first time I saw the sphere it was hovering and disappeared like a flash in to 'space'. At first I thought they might be satellite or Google devices but they move too quickly. The first sighting was located in almost the exact same spot in the sky and the sphere looked the same. Thus my urgency to report.

While walking our dog around the neighborhood we noticed a bright spherical shape/light moving slow in a strange path and about as high as a plane would be. I managed to record it for about 2 minutes on my Galaxy S10 phone before it seemed to zip away.

Tampa, FL
This morning at 6:45am I was out smoking a cigar on Howard Ave next to the river. As I was smoking I peered into a clear morning sky with zero cloud cover. It was still dark and I observed an object that looked like a star, but was moving at a high altitude and moving fast for that altitude. I do maybe think it could be the space station but didn't know that it shown so bright. This object did disappear from my vision which I thought was strange because it was a cloudless morning. The object was moving fast and high and was not a plane in my opinion. The object didn't blink and had no other lights other than the light of a star. The object looked as the altitude was in what I would consider space. The object looked like a moving star.

Brookings, OR
We stepped outdoors and observed what appeared to be a bright celestial object like a planet or a star in the Southern sky but as we observed it moved around unlike a planet or star and has four trailing smaller objects. I took a video with my IPad and enlarged it but couldn't see any detail, just the bright spherical object moving around erratically in one location. We also observed it through a telescope and could see the trailing objects better but still no detail.

At apx 8:55 pm my wife said she sees something strange in the western sky. I got out of bed and we both witnessed 7 flashing lights in the sky. We tried to take a picture with our good camera but battery showed on camera it was weak. My wife was able to capture 1 picture with her phone. We then witnessed the objects disappearing one by one till there were just 3 that made a triangle shape. Finally last one disappeared. When we looked at her picture we saw a green orb above the lights. We did not see this orb with the eye.Also there was no sound from crafts. Thank you john

Two white star like objects high in the night sky to the North-North-East. These two objects were stationary and about 1 arc degree apart from each other (about the width of your index finger if you hold your hand out as far as you can), the top one being as bright as Jupiter in magnitude and the bottom one being only slightly dimmer. I knew they were not stars as I am familiar with the night sky and thought maybe they were high flying stationary helicopters as they can sometimes look like a single white light until they move, however, instead of moving, they simply winked out. I knew they weren’t satellites because satellites move should they catch the sun’s rays in low earth orbit just after dark. As I was fishing for my phone to take a photo is when I watched them wink out. The bottom one winked out half a second before the top one. I checked the news and Google today for any sightings or explanations, maybe SpaceX? But nothing. Very odd indeed.

Albany, NY
It was moving steadily but not too fast across the sky tracking northwest to southeast over Suny Albany around 12:08 a.m. on Thursday 9/20/2021, Wednesday night. Due to me being at work i was unable to get any pictures or video of this encounter per company policy. I am a bus driver for the local public transit company and this is not like anything i have ever seen in my life. I am 37 years old and have seen numerous planes and helicopters in the night sky as i typically work the night shift. I did notice another person pulled over his car and was standing outside of his vehicle watching this object move across the sky. Hopefully he was able to snap a picture or video of it and also reports it. I was going to take a video and pictures of it when i pulled into the local college and was able to park my bus, but as i turned into the college i looked back at where this object was and it was gone.

Huntington Beach, CA
My wife and I were driving west bound on Warner Ave in the City of Huntington Beach. We were taking my brother to dinner that night. While approaching PCH we looked to the left and saw two red orbs coming towards us. Then the two orbs became three orbs in a triangle formation. Then a fourth orb appeared trailing the 3 red orbs. Just as soon as the fourth orb appeared they all made a right turn. About that time, we were now traveling on PCH towards the south. We couldn't follow them because there were no roads at the point of PCH to make a turn to the left. As the orbs neared the horizon they disappeared. They disappeared before passing over the horizon which would have blocked our view. I looked at the news the next day and no one mentioned any sightings! I need to put in one disclaimer. I'm not sure if this incident occurred this day or on October 3rd, 2021, a few days later. This happened so long ago that it could have been on September 29th or October 3rd.

To whom this may concern . Yesterday evening at approximately 11:20 PM September 27th. I was flying my drone which is a “Holy Stone HS720E” While I was flying it the drone , it stopped working proper. I could not go up or go down. I could not go forward or backwards or sideways. The only the drone could do was spin around. This went on for approximately 5 minutes before the object appeared. I even tried return home mode and that didn’t work either. The drone was only 100 yards above my head so it was not far and still had great signal. While I was staring into the sky and I saw what appeared to be a comet or meteor coming out of the the atmosphere on a 45 degree angle. After it reached the altitude of a plane, it then leveled off and what broke into two separate bright lights and then came back together as one and then it became two separate objects again then flew off into the distance and disappeared out of sight. After the UFO disappeared out of sight my drone was then able to operate again . Never seen anything like it believe me this was not a meteor or comet this was something extra terrestrial.

Auburn, MA
This is the 3rd sighting of craft outside my bedroom window since April 2021. Two of the sightings occurred in Auburn, MA right on the Worcester, MA border. One occured on Saturday 9/25 at 4am in Modena, NY (Hudson Valley) while visiting my parents at the home I spent my childhood. I have photos and video footage of all 3 separate sightings. I will submit the two previous craft sightings on separate reports. The details for this report: After driving 3 hours back from Modena NY to my home in Auburn, MA Sunday evening, i arrived home at 10:45pm. What was strange was I had been worried about my husband after he was unreachable all day (very out of the ordinary for him) and his mother & friends were worried too. Upon arriving home he told me "whatever you sent to me yesterday crashed my phone when I tried opening it. It won't turn back on." What I sent to him was video of the craft outside my parents home the previous night…. My husband was already sleeping. I entered our space bedroom to unpack and get ready for bed. I had a feeling to look out the window and right there high up in the sky was a very obvious, round, bright orb that at first was white light but soon changed to blue, flickering between white & blue & green. It was hovering and as I began recording it, it morphed into different shapes; top shaped, disc shaped, then 3 orbs in triangle formation. Other lights joined it sporadically and flashed on and off at random. Sometimes it disappeared completely only to reappear exactly where it had been hovering. There was a slight, low & dull humming vibration sound in the air as well.

SWOKC/Moore, OK
At approximately 10:05pm I was looking at constellations through my binoculars and directly west I spotted a small plane heading east...upon viewing the plane I noticed a small white light come from the NW and it swooped under the small plane and proceeded to accelerate faster in a southernly direction. It made a curved pattern while coming from the NW heading South SE...I lost sight of it as it faded out. Night was clear no clouds. This is my 3rd report over the last 15 years of unknown anomalous objects flying in the sky near my home. We live close to an Will Rogers airport, this had to have been picked up on radar.

Salineville, OH
As I look to my right I first seen a glimpse of something red and white flash that was round and my friends seen it I thought was maybe a shooting star cuz it was in the tree line and the horizon of the dark pitch black night sky it's just a glimpse then 20 minutes after what appeared when I was fishing DirecTV of my fishing pole in the sky look to be a ball of lights that had a red type of light inside of it very very bright I was thinking maybe radio tower but as I looked to my surprise it was rising up away from the horizon in the air and then stopped and then continue to move left and pulsating motion in a thrust motion as it burst left it kind of hesitated and went back and then burst again to it was out of sight as I yelled my friends seeing the same thing and it did the same thing it did like a flip or a spinning motion as it pulsated then as we're packing up about 10 minutes later it popped out again and as we seen it it crept back into the tree line! and horizon you disappeared and we came to the conclusion as the previous thing we seen with the same thing and as we witness this it seemed to be spying on us and some manner

Cherry Grove, SC
Myself, my father, and my grandfather were standing on the balcony at prince resort on the 16th floor. My father saw the object first. He got my and my grandfather's attention and then we looked. It was a glowing bright orange orb probably out a few miles past the pier. It was over the ocean at least 500 feet above it. We were all asking each other what it was. It slowly moved to the left and then looked like it was slowly moving toward us. At that point we ruled a flare out because it did not travel as such. After it slightly moved towards us it took a move away and then vanished with no trace or trail. Almost like a teleport. I have or had never seen anything like this so to me it can only be a UFO or a government test. Upon research of sightings on this area the next day, I concluded that most of the reports I saw were of the same object or similar multiple objects. I would just like to know for peace of mind. Could not get a photo because it happened so fast and did not want to stop watching it.
