Peekskill, NY
I was driving home from Ulster County when I spotted a single small, bright, solid red light moving over the area.

Lafayette, LA
Walking my dog I noticed a light that looked like a star. First I assumed it was a balloon catching the sunlight or a white bird. As I watched it it began to zoom back and forth. The longer I watched the more it did various maneuvers. I then noticed 3 others pop in and out of the clouds. I watched for several minutes and finally grabbed my wife to confirm. We watched these 4 “stars” for quite some time zip in and out between clouds, do spirals up and down and float up and down. Then 7 stars or orbs flew by in a V formation between the others. Then came back around and floated off again. Not sure if ball lightning or what but definitely not balloons or birds.

Kingsland, GA
Walking my dogs I got the feeling to look up. Seeing the light moving resembled a drone at first, but being a drone pilot myself I saw no indication of such a craft. Approximately 150-200 meters above the earth, Maintained the same speed and perfectly straight direction heading from north to south, going out of sight behind some trees, when passed the visibility blockage, the object was gone. Lasted about 2 to 3 minutes with No sound and the object was completely surrounded in the white light.

Romsey, HAMPSHIR · United Kingdom
4 white lights were circling in the sky, this went on for about 5 minutes above a field behind my house, they didn’t make any noise & there was no beam of light up to them. They then disappeared & a bigger circle light arrived hovering still. A smaller one then came back & started flying around the larger one & disappearing. This went on for another few minutes. I tried to get them on camera but they didn’t come out well.

Estes Park, CO
Multiple lights moving at high speeds through the night sky at extreme speeds. The light will be bright as a star in the sky, then fade out and disappear. Moving in random directions, stopping and turning going fast one way and picking up the same speed the opposite direction. Both my partner and I are witnessing this as we speak. This is being seen in a dark area where human lights (car lights, street lights, etc.) are not impeding our ability to see the dark night sky.

Seattle, WA
At 3:40 am on Thursday morning June 2nd, 2022 - I was standing outside the Edgewater Hotel when I saw a large, bright orange/red light (similar in color to the “don’t walk” hand signal in a crossing light in Seattle) slowly moving above downtown Seattle towards me. I called out a coworker by radio to witness as well. We watched it move over our area, change direction on a dime from the southeast to northwest heading it had been going, to a more true north direction before seeming to hover still. It then seemed to be going straight up into the sky as it became smaller and fainter without changing direction. It twinkled on and off a few times before disappearing entirely. There were long, light clouds over portions of the sky, but they were so thin as to be able to see stars through them. Over all, this experience lasted less than five minutes.

McMinnville, OR
This, rather large looking object has moved in the sky 3 times now. It is stationary otherwise. It is quite bright. If it is a ufo, I have no idea why it would be here. All we have is an armory, Evergreen and some (suspected) military installations in and around or near a neighboring town.

Fort Hall, ID
My name is Warlance Cruz, when I was 12 years old I watched a UFO. There was 8-10 of us neighbors playing behind my grandmas. My brother got mad at our neighbor Raylynn and started running and jump the fence. I chased after and stopped at the fence and turned around. Everyone was looking at me weak back and that when a huge white light that was 60’ away and 80’ in the sky. I pointed and said “Look” that’s when everyone ran and fell and that’s when I watched it! It zigzagged and shot straight into the sky in a blink of an eye. You can contact me at (deleted). My Indian Reservation is caked Fort Hall Indian Reservation. I can have the other that were there confirm everything in this story.

Dayton, MN
I was driving in a neighborhood of Dayton MN, delivering papers when I saw what looked like a shooting star. I looked back at it again once I realized it was still traveling in the sky a moment later, and it was flashing bright blue pulses of light and produced a visible bright white/blue line along its path of travel. It lasted for about 2-3 seconds, and partially lit up the sky and illuminating the cloud cover as it disappeared behind some rain clouds.

Old Fort, TN
Went outside on my front porch to get some peace and quiet away from family. I looked up facing East @ 110°. Made eye contact with what looked like a star that was moving at the same rate of the ISS or LEO satellite. (Approx 15,000 MPH). That’s what I assumed it was, especially with the sun setting in the west refracting light that could make it visible at night time. Suddenly it stopped. It started to pinball/bounce 5-10 times the speed it was traveling before stopping in a triangle like pattern. 1,2,3, and it zoomed off towards the Southwest in an extremely fast fashion. I had to ask myself if I had just witnessed that, and I know I did for a fact. I have listened to many accounts from the Navy Pilots and any credible persons explaining this kind of event. They are dead on at how fast they move and change direction. It was the first UAP/UFO I have ever witnessed. However, I was observing this one from the ground, watching it far above earth’s atmosphere. I was startled, I wasn’t shocked. I was more in a reality check on asking myself if I actually just seen that. I know I did. I honestly just smiled, because it felt like affirmation of knowing the truth from people’s factual and witness accounts such as the Navy Pilots. The picture I took was a handful of seconds after my account to document the approximate size area in the sky this “craft” had stopped, maneuvered, and disappeared.

Lake Hopatcong, NJ
I was recording the lightning and captured something moments before the strike. A red light zoomed in my shot and got sucked into a part of the sky. When I zoomed into the part it went into, it resembled an opening or a crack of light. Not the lightning. The lightning struck moments after. Unrelated to lightning strike. Only noticed this while slow motion viewing my storm sighting. Red light shoots into a crack into the sky. I have attached the screen recording of the video with slow motion and zoom created

Lake Hopatcong, NJ
I noticed an object in a video I was recording during a storm. I had to zoom in and replay on “pause” setting many times to capture the speed. A red light appeared to have been flying and maximum speed towards an area in the sky that revealed a slight crack in the color of white/yellow. I have sent this report over the weekend but I will attach a better version of the replay here

Medina, OH
A very very bright Venus like object in the northern sky. It was a beautiful and warm night and the sky was clear and we were looking at the big dipper and I was showing my wife and friends on one of my star apps where the north star was located As we all looked at the north star suddenly a very bright star like light appeared. It was stationary for approximately one minute and then disappeared. Not a plane! not a planet or star!

Delmar, NY
Hello, I was driving home late last night. Everything was normal until I saw a giant flash of pink light in the sky. It only lasted for less than a second. My first thought was that it was some kind of explosion so I immediately turned off the radio but did not hear anything. When I got home I asked my mother if she heard anything since the windows were open, she said she didn't hear anything. I cannot make sense of what it was, the sky was clear so it couldn't of been lightening. Since I did not hear anything and my mother a few minutes away from me did not hear anything, I don't think this was an explosion of some sort. There could very well be a natural explanation for this, it could have been a meteor burning up in the atmosphere or a piece of debris. I just find it odd that there was not a noise. Since I was driving and it occurred very fast, I do not have a photo or video of the flash of light.

Vista, CA
At the above time, I was out on my third floor balcony, watching the meteor shower. Since we have so much light pollution, I was using a night vision scope (image intensifier type) that cuts through the bright sky. After sighting a few meteors, I spotted what I was sure was a satellite. It was the same apparent Size and brightness as the stars in the sky. It was following a straight steady course. As I watched it, I thought it was wiggling or changing speed, but I chalked that up to eye strain, etc. But then the object stopped! It froze in place and just appeared to be another star. My arms were tired already, so I watched it as long as I could and it did not move. The object was in the NE sky at about 45 degrees moving to the west. Since I was using the night scope, it is possible that it wouldn't be visible to the naked eye.

Carrollton, GA
Last night I saw 10 in a row all different lengths apart but in string formation, these weren't the star link, me and my son also saw one of the "moving stars" and out of nowhere me and him both looked in the same direction at the same spot and a huge white light or flash happened, and this was the whitest light I've ever seen, but anytime that I go out here and I ask with my thoughts to see them, I do, and my gf is always with me to see them as well, and we can tell they arent planes, planes dont fly right behind eachother like what we seen, I also on the first time I ever saw them, believe I made contact with them the same night, I was going to bed and started feeling extreme anxiety out of nowhere but nothing was wrong and then I started feeling like i was passing out and couldnt keep my eyes open, then my own thoughts told me they wouldnt hurt me and that I had to calm down for them to pull my astral body out, I lifted up my head at one point ( I believe it was my astral body) and I saw two of them at the end of my bed and felt one behind me with it's hand on my head, the two at the bottom looked childlike and very curious, almost like dolphin skin, but it looked exactly like how grays are depicted, unfortunately I couldn't stop freaking out even tho I wanted to meet them, I couldn't control my body and they said I couldn't go with them because I couldn't calm down and that they would be back again another time, and almost every night since I see them in the sky except one week where I didn't see anything, I believe I truly made some form of contact and they keep showing me their ships, and also showed my son for me I believe so he would know I wasn't crazy, unfortunately everytime I try to record I can never get anything on my phone, so I stopped trying to record the experience

Roxbury, NY
Was up in my cabin atop of Bearpen Mt ,NY to see the stars as i always do , a bright light about 2500 to 3500 ft high with no sound at all ,coming my way from Roxbury and said what the hell is that , i yelled to my girl, babe get out here now, and said look as i pointed . The very bright lit was still moving towards us and stopped and seemed to drop down , it made a 45 degree turn toward Bearpen Mt, my girl said it looked Bell shape , I was very amazed how bright it was , have been searching to see if anyone else had seen it, but to no avail as of now. I have never in my 40 years there have i ever seen anything like it , i have seen alot of things in that sky and all can be explaned , but this was nothing i have ever seen , still bugging with it .

We were looking at satellites, shooting stars, and stars in general, I saw a shooting star (i thought) so I pointed it out to my friend, he looked up and 2 seconds later it did a “U” / “V” turn while not losing speed, and then it went higher and disappeared immediately. This might be completely unrelated, but 30-40 min after, I saw a very bright star, pointed at it, when my friend looked up we both saw it dim up and disappear.

High point, NC
My wife and I were sitting on the patio at 8:45 p.m. May 29th 2022, facing towards the east. I am an amateur astronomer for 56 years and as I was looking at the sky I noticed a golden orange star object approximately 50 to 55° in the East Northeast sky. It made no sound and kept a steady brightness. My wife noticed this object with me and we said, this is the first star out tonight. We kept talking and looked back at the object at 8:50 p.m., and it was still glowing in the sky. It was the same color, but all of a sudden, within 10-15 seconds, it vanished. There was no movement in any direction, it didn't change brightness, it looked the same as it did 5 minutes prior, it was in the same position, but it just vanished. My wife and I were in disbelief, we had no idea what we had just seen. It was not the star Arcturus or any other celestial object. We had an unobscured clear sky that evening.

Driving home from work I noticed five orange globes hovering in the sky. I did snap a photo, but my windshield was dirty and the flash showed mostly dirt, there are however two globes in the photo.

Casco, ME
Saw a light (orange yellow) at a slight northeast direction, relative to me, and was at the home-side of the loop driveway seen at the location given. Noticed the light more NE then the light moved at a strange (given height, and location) but consistent speed to about due east, then, before the treeline, moved in a weird fashion very suddenly, almost shaking with some vertical axis movement (my camerawork exagerrated this unintentionally, and im sorry there are no referential trees), then blinked 5 to 7ish times at what seemed to be a consistent interval, a small bit faster than 60bpm (i.e. a blink per second), and continued until it disappeared--unsure what occluded it at the end, hence my audible surprise. Heading seemed to follow a north-south line. Trees were not in the way so as to cause the blinks either. The light reappeared when my partner came outside and I yelled for her to come see (after the video here) when it finally went behind the treetops. Id stopped filming as I assumed it was gone. There were no clouds between myself and the craft at the time of blinking. The shape of this light (the way it shined) implied 1 larger central light source, and two smaller ones of the same color (yellow orange but more yellow), but the lights were so clustered closely from my position that it melded into one light shape overall. As to the configuration of the lights, it was like a very flat triangle (think limpet shallow) with the large light source slightly above (and certainly centralized to imply an isoceles symmetry about itself) the two others that seemed to protrude more laterally from my perspective, not unlike the needles of light on a car windshield at night from a streetlamp. Video did not capture this level of detail. There was also a "spike" of that same color light coming from the center and poking vertically. This is just again implying to me multiple sources of light. Note I dont think or mean to describe these as beams, and I have no astigmatism, they were more luminous appendages that implied multiple sources. The light was brighter than any aircraft Ive ever seen in this way, and from this area, and no flights were close by on flightradar at the time in that direction and angle and heading. Unsure what angle I was looking up, but it varied based on treetops, and was between 30 to above 45 degrees inclined up while filming. Any erratic lateral movement (mostly) can be attributed to my hands not being as stable as a tripod. I didnt see much lateral strangeness in person, and as noted, the movement was mainly consistent, until it was not. Video here is the best I could do. Shot on Galaxy Z Fold 2, and twice I used 2x zoom (when it gets more blurry) to try and get some level of comparison. I could not get trees or anything to come into view either but have provided a picture that captured the twilight and lighting conditions and direction I first saw it. Both my partner and I witnessed a similar scenario months or weeks ago (not as prepared, so dont remember, but there was snow), same location, but the exact inverse of given locations and headings, and I dont have as many details for that, but this prior light-event was following two low flying non-commercial craft that came by one after another, separated by ~30sec., and heading north. We were seeing it by facing west. It too disappeared suddenly. No clouds were to blame. My partner and I are both computer scientists, actively research topics like consciousness, and systems design, or emergent phenomena, TOE, etc. We have histories of lucid dreaming, sleep paralysis, vivid OBEs, and sleepwalking. We also are accomplished, but enthusiast musicians and producers with backgrounds in new media and photography.

Greeley, CO
In Johnstown, CO at an graduation. Was watching a dust storm kick up and above the dust storm were two lights flying around eachother. Almost like playing tag. One would zigzag out of the clouds and the other chasing after it. There were actual aircraft in the area going to DIA but these were going so much faster than the big jets. Changing direction in a split second.
