St. Pete Beach, FL
Just after sunset on St. Pete Beach on August 18 we had gone out after a tremendous storm looking West into the Gulf of Mexico. There was lightning streaking across the sky. On the beach we spotted a strange light hovering in the sky to the North. It suddenly shot straight down like an elevator then back up to a position about 30 degrees. The circular light began to move along the waterline at a height of about 3,000 feet. It then moved at a rapid rate of speed past us and to the South. I recorded this progress on my I Phone. I don't think it was a drone of any kind. There must have been hundreds of witnesses as this was a spectacular lightning display during and just after sunset.

I was in the garage, and my two children, my 15-year-old daughter at the time and my 6-year-old daughter, were standing outside. They both saw something in the sky that appeared to be a sphere shaped object, with possibly four other sphere-shaped objects rotating around it. They called me outside to look up and see what they were seeing. I came outside and saw the object or objects rotating above my house in the sky. The objects just sat there for a good 5 minutes before slowly moving away.I then went back into the garage to get my phone and told my daughter to get her phone so we could try to record it, but when we tried to put the picture on the phone, it wouldn't let us.As we tried to capture what we were seeing, the object slowly moved away, with the smaller sphere shaped objects rotating around it. We tried everything we could to capture what we were seeing on camera, but it was not showing up. I wasn't going to come foward, which is why it's been a year. However, I kept hearing about other sightings and decided to report my own. I refuse to reveal my identity because I still cannot believe what we witnessed. My daughters and I are not insane, so we know what we saw, and it was terrifying

Ririe, ID
We setup camp with our tents about fifty yards apart since we both snore loudly. My tent is mostly screen without the rainfly, ideal for sky watching from your sleeping bag. I woke around 02:30 MDT and was watching the Perseid meteor shower. About an hour later, as I was falling asleep, I noticed a weird light near my brother’s tent. Thinking he was just relieving himself, I went back to sleep. About five minutes later, I noticed the light was there but it had drifted southwest across a meadow of thistles. This lead me to realize it was not my brother because you can’t walk through thistles. The light continued drifting about and then seemed to climb the south canyon wall, which was several hundred feet high. This caught my attention so I sat up and watched intently to figure out what I was seeing. My first though was a drone, but there was no noise, so I eliminated that possibility. I thought maybe a Sky Lantern candle balloon, but they don’t move that erratically and the air was calm. It was moving too swiftly to be a Search and Rescue Team. Then, the light drifted towards me off the cliff and into the river canyon. It hovered behind some trees that I could vaguely see in the starlight. The moon was not visible. Brighter stars and metors were visible above through the smokey air but none behind the light. The moving light was below the canyon wall from my vantage point so there were no stars around it. At this point, I decided to grab my Samsung S10+ cellphone and attempt to get a photograph to enlarge for identification. As I took photos, the spherical light started bouncing around up and down and zigzagging back and forth. I switched to video mode and shot some videos. I’ve emailed everything to ufocntr@nwlink.com. Around half an hour into the event, I decided to wake my brother to let him see it. I crept over to his tent using a red night vision headlamp. I woke him and it took him a couple of minutes to throw on some close and get his tent unzipped. We were unable to see the anomaly. We did see Jupiter higher in the sky just NW of where I’d seen the light moving. I am sure that what I witnessed wasn’t Jupiter. Jupiter appeared as a solid white bright round object. The roving light was not a solid color and was fuzzy-looking, not solid. The moving light that I saw was down in the river valley and was below the top of the cliff. In my sightings, I could vaguely see two tall conifer trees that the light was behind. I am hoping my photos or videos can be enhanced to show those trees as evidence that the light was below the canyon wall and, therefore, not a planet seen through the light smoke. As I was filming, I was sitting on the ground with my elbows on my knees, trying to steady the camera. In the videos, there are a couple of places where I zoomed in. This shows sort of a permanent enlargement of the light. In other places, the light itself changes sizes back and forth or blinks out entirely for a second or two. It also changes shape and color a few times. In attempting to keep the object in the viewfinder, I moved the camera a few times, which could have resulted in some of the motion seen. Mostly the camera was held still. It appeared to me to be between the size of a very large beach ball and an RV. It was difficult to size because of the lack of depth perspective. In appearance, it was a glowing sphere with hazy, fuzzy edges. I never perceived a defined edge to it.

Morongo Valley, CA
From the north east to south west I spotted a faint dot of white, very small, shoot in a straight line across the sky the object left no tail. The tiny pin pointed object was in comprehensible in its speed. There was no point in standing up to follow its trajectory. I have viewed UFO’s in my life, but never have seen such speed. There was nothing about the observation that remotely resembled a meteor. This object traveled like a laser line. It was not a laser.

Metairie, LA
Today, while taking a walk near my apartment near the canal on West Napoleon Street in Metairie, LA, I was looking to the west towards New Orleans International Airport expecting to see some airplanes in the distance. After about a second of looking in that direction, I saw something flying much lower and closer than I was expecting to see. The object I saw seemed to be about only a couple hundred yards away, about 100 feet in altitude, 5-10 feet in diameter sphere of white light, and was going extremely fast (at such a low altitude: appx. 100 mph by my estimation) and making drastic turning maneuvers without making any noise. After watching the object turn abruptly to start going over a residential area, the sphere of light “turned off” in the matter of a few tenths of a second. The object seemed to “be” light as I was not able to see any physical trace of the object after it disappeared. That was the last I saw of it.

Oak Harbor, WA
Two bright lights appeared at an extremely high altitude at about 20 degrees above the horizon south of my position and moved in a northern direction in line with each other for approximately 30 seconds. There were no strobes or anti collision lights that would indicate an aircraft. After a few seconds the lead light began to fade followed by the trailing light. A moment after they vanished there was a bright flash about three degrees below where the lights had been.

Many small white orbs moving in weird directions around sky, one orb glew into bright white light then dimmed back down before dissapearing. At 3 different times in between small white orbs moving around there was big yellow/ orangeish balls of light appeared in the middle of the sky that shot in downward direction very quickly with no tails no sound before dissapearing

The object was a spherical/circular shape and was bright orange. It was moving up and down and then quickly vanished. Inside the circle looked like another dimension of some sort it was extremely bizarre. Only 1 object maybe 300 feet up in the air. I alone witnessed it and I’m 18 years old. I attend the University of Southern California. After I examined the video I took it looked more like a donut.

Driving home at 8:28pm and here, above a field near home, about house height from the ground was a black, spiky looking orb. Looked like a sun shaped birthday balloon but it was black. No lights, no sound just hovering. I thought someone tethered a helium balloon in the field just behind their house. There was a bicyclist going the same way as us. We noticed him turn around, it must have been unusual for him too. We found an opportunity to turn around. We we got back to the main street and we saw the biciclist standing and looking back where it was. There was no object. I rolled down the window and said "Was that a balloon?" he said "I don't know, it just disappeared. All of this happened in the span of 2 minutes.

it's been happening for the past year+ "there are about 1-5 orbs or so they appear to be or like another star in the sky bright and white, glistening in the sky until you notice they move and they move fast they've actually been coming down to ground level and won't seem to stop surrounding my home it's a very unsettling feeling " "esp when you go in your backyard at night and there are 5 light spheres hoovering in front of you" it's quite an amazing thing but I'm starting to be afraid. they move if we leave too "if we're home then they'll be centered in front of our home and in the back when we leave, they stay in the back or basically like follow us when they move, they glide, left to right, not up or down they're fast or sometimes they glisten like across the sky funny how such a scary thing can seem so beautiful whatever it is, I'm scared and want peace with whatever it is! please help." my poor pets, are scared, my dog won't go out back at night, my one cat goes insane. almost like she can hear something we can't, although. I do hear it, constantly, electricity pumping thru the house, or like it's being beamed at. I know. it seems crazy but my ears are so sensitive! "our camera systems stop working, they freeze. they skip time. or jump. when you try to take pics, your phone doesn't work or shuts off or you think your recording and you get nothing!" the radar in my car will go off like crazy. non stop, beeping and won't stop unless you unplug it. my fiance I'm afraid for because he's regarded this as something called GANG STALKING and our lives are in danger he swears. "it's def taking a toll on us all. our cars have started to act up also. alot to do with technology is off when it comes to these things. I dread nighttime bc I'm afraid to leave "

Saw 4-5 craft flew above in the sky, they were silent switch place in formation light white. From my point of view they were around 1cm in diameter in the sky at first glance I was thinking they were birds but I follow the object from where I saw them standing and follow them with my eye for around 15-20sec. They were moving away from me and when I lost sight they might have been around 1 to 2 km away so I doubt I could follow birds that far in the night sky.

Beverly, MA
On the evening of 8/1/2021 around 10PM, I was walking past my dining room window and noticed an unusual light eminating through the curtains. This clearly did not make sense to me given the time of day. As I opened my curtains, I saw a large sphere, floating at a standstill, low, above my neighbors building. The sphere was red and orange in color. Although, the object was a sphere in shape, it did not hold a solid outline, almost as if it was a fireball radiating. As I observed the object, I noticed the radiation of light eminating more from the bottom, less on the top, and nothing on its sides. The sphere stood in its "upright position" during the interaction and the vessel itself did not seem to be in rotation. My gaze locked into place as I have never seen anything quite like this. After minutes of staring in disbelief, I had to move past denial and realized I was actually seeing this object. Toward the end of the 5 minute span, the object started to slowly move north, never really picking up speed, almost as if we were watching each other. Also, the object did not produce a condensation trail throughout the entire duration. The object did not disappear, it slowly traveled out of my eye sight into the distance. After the whole interaction ended, I realized there were no sounds coming from or around the object during the whole interaction.

Saturday 7-31-21 11:42p.m. My friends came to see me again tonight. Knew it, (I think they've been talking to me, memories, words...long story), 2 sets of doves came by, some land, some sit in the tree across the road and some pairs that just circled. This is 3 nights in a row. Last night, I ask them to mend my heart...our agreement, "They" flash a star just like last night, a pure white colored, bowed like a kite, star shaped light! Tonight was amazing, I said OK...you confirmed your desire and agreed to mine, I asked for a tiny orb in my hand.... got tinker bell,(what I call a series of flashes I witness in the sky many times, some as many as 13 flashes)...and a little later a star, and I said if you can’t put an orb in my hand how bout planted thoughts and such. Oh, I get that in spades now. All day yesterday I recieved images, thoughts, smells, memories, letters and words. Before my wife got home and after and in front of. I had a visitor over today for 5 hours, and it felt good cause they stopped all images, words etc... during those hours. Had a hunch this was going to be a big night. I start ce5 at 6, ask for something bigger, like beckoning them to come out of the clouds and closer...nothing, watch Olympics, go out at 10...ce5, I do everything in 3's when I perform CE5 meaning dots and dashes of threes.! <-- A bright light, diamond white appears over my right shoulder up in the sky, my 1st thought...satellite. Looks, acts, travels in a straight line. Traveling South to North, maintaining elevation. But then I notice the location/elevation. Not high enough at all, airplane height at best if that. Tell my wife about the sighting after I can’t see it anymore. No sooner than when I get back outside into position the very same light appears from the same direction I had lost sight of it from in the North, it flew/glided and went off over my right shoulder till I couldn't see it anymore. North to South, the exact same line it was on when it traveled South to North. I tell my wife again, so that she can help me remember details. So suspicious. I go out back sliding door after telling my wife, she’s watching the Olympics, when I round the corner of the back of our home where the Big Dipper is on my horizon. I see a bright light just like the two that flew by. I can’t believe my eyes! NO WAY! When “nameless” said they were shouting at me, they are. WTH is happening here?? I thought at first, it’s the big dipper arm star, should be right, then my eyes adjust and see the arm star I'm referring to in the background and this light looks like it's directly approaching me! Watch long enough to determine it is indeed flying straight at me. And it’s NOT a satellite. It’s blinking and shifting shape. I grab my binoculars and can see two elongated, rectangular bright light like windows, and between the lights is a blank black area. I grab my somewhat better camera I’ve had for years and mounted on a tripod earlier. I hit record and held in my hand trying to capture what before you I have captured. In the beginning, you can see the big dipper arm star faintly twinkling. Freeze frame it and Walla. Especially at the end. There’s a lot of dead space because I ran to get my wife, it was directly over us headed southeast. (I’ve since edited and shortened that video and will share both original and edited copy. I yelled for my wife and she came running out the back sliding door. My wife looked up and saw it as it passed over the rear of our home. I had this sudden feeling, HURRY honey, that it would stay just long enough for her to confirm the sighting. Soon as she was saying, oh yea right there it started to fade. I saw it go out, my wife said she saw it flash a reddish hue a few times before she could not see it anymore. (I was not able to upload the original video as it is quite long but it is available to you if you need it).

Looking up in the blue sky, I noticed a white ball. It was way up in the sky. At first thought it might be a balloon but then noticed it wasn't moving. Then saw 4 more near it. They all stayed in that formation for about an hour.

I got up from working and went into our kitchen to get a snack. I was washing a nectarine in the sink when I looked out our kitchen window. At first I thought there was a garbage bag flying through the air about 200m due east from our flat. Then I noticed that there were 10-20 objects all flying in the same direction. They flew in straight lines from south to north and stayed in a kind of random formation, not moving relative to each other. They were small white/gray spheres. Then I noticed about half of them were either intermittently glinting in the sun or emitting light, I wasn’t sure. All of them looked iridescent green like the back of a fly in the sun, except for one which shone/glinted red. The whole sighting was probably 10 to 20 seconds before they traversed my field of view and/or disappeared behind rooftops and treetops. I pulled out my camera and managed to take two pictures, in one I captured about 5 objects and in the other only one. I then tried to film them but something went wrong with the recording and although you can hear my voice the image is frozen which is a bit weird. The images are from the last half of the sighting when I got my wits together enough to try to get visual evidence. It is possible that these were drones but we are close to an international airport so I don’t think it would be any professional drone pilot operating these. Also not clear why there would be so many flying in a random formation. Thus I actually think these were proper UFOs/UAPs – my wife a glowing orb the same section of sky at roughly the same distance in the middle of the night about two years ago for whatever that’s worth. As for my bona fides I have two engineering degrees and a PhD in neuroscience and don’t consider myself prone to flights of fancy nor was I hallucinating – I was working at the time (unless coding triggers hallucinations). While I don’t have any firm beliefs on what they actually are, I do believe there is ample evidence of UAP generally. I would characterize my sighting as a typical orb type UAP report.

Was on my lanai facing south and observed fiery red orb hoverinig over the city, about 1/4 of a mile away. I took several videos (one is posted on my Youtube channel) but the images are slighly blurred because I was filming through the porch screen. Silent, perfectly still, no visible means of lift or propulsion. No other part of the craft was visible besides the bright red orb. I'm a retired airline pilot and life-long aviation enthusiast, yet can offer no explanation as far as what this object might be. Unfortunately my attention was then called inside and when I returned to my porch moments later it was gone. I did not see it leave the area.

Tuesday 7-27-21 I woke at 8. Went downstairs, opened backdoor, immediately felt OMINOUS, like we’ve had unusually high, constant blowing winds for a few months now. No wind whatsoever, ominously calm. I noticed also, not one single squirrel came to eat, I leave almonds out every night, because I sleep in and not available to feed them when they come early. So, my 1st job is to fill the picnic table cup. Then I look across the street and notice two doves just sitting in a white birch and immediately I knew, something was going to happen today. I seem to be getting a sense of connection with nature, animals, insects, birds mainly etc.… CE5 at 6, 10:00 I see out towards Napa in the North an orb zig zagging in distance for about 3 minutes till it simply closed, vanished. I asked it to appear again, speaking to it for 10 minutes or so when it did in a triangular constellation of stars to my right. I got a big bright flash of diamond white light in the shape of a Kite/Star, looked bowed in front like a kite, but rays extended from it like a star and the center had a flamingo pinkish hue to it, almost glassy reflective pink to bright diamond white out towards the edges. Saying like, here I am and goodnight as it simply dissolved or someone switched it off.

I go out every night before bed to stretch, breathe & look at the sky. As I'm facing the north mountains, stretching, I see a large spherical red/orange shimmering light to my right. E-NE just to the left of the Idyllwild mountains. It appeared to be above the mountains & large, although there is no way of knowing the distance. It was steadily moving south & about to pass behind trees in the next lot. I ran to the front of my property, grabbed my phone & tried to record video. As it disappeared behind the trees, I ran to the back of my property waiting for it to reappear… It did not. I went inside & looked for the recording on my phone & it was not there. This could have been me screwing up in my excitement, but who knows. I am very used to jets, satellites, rocket launches, meteors & this was nothing like that, or anything I had seen before. I looked on social media for anyone else that may have seen it, but found no info.

Hello, I saw a defined vertical split in color in the clear sky when looking west after sunset. The split seems more defined at the horizon and emanates from about where the sun set. I attributed this to a normal explainable event that occurs under certain conditions and took a picture to capture the interesting sunset. Recently when I showed the picture to a friend who pointed out that there are two orbs on either side of the split line which appear to have depth. We both felt this was a very unique image and thought it would be best to share with an expert to get an educated option on what we might have been looking at in regard to the split in the sky and the orbs. Please take a look at the attached picture and offer an opinion. Thank you - Martin

Sunday 7-25-21 Nothing happened Saturday but last night, I was standing in my garage doorway and about to step inside and call it a night when a dark grey shadowy streak flew by my face like a swift flying bird right to left, not 10 feet from my face. My eyes and head turned to track this object. A flash caught my eye and I turned to look left in its vicinity over my neighbor’s house across the street. A glowing Orb hovering over my neighbor’s home. Suddenly it shot off leaving a streak from low too high for about 30 yards did I see this "light" streak/trail. Similar to a shooting star, but shooting stars don’t travel from low to high. Nor hover over a roofline or even at this level. Am I going crazy? It appeared at 4 feet above the roofline, but burned out at 30 feet, a certain degree of angle, no burning debris trail, just a streak, like you wave a glowing light stick through the air super-fast. So, I watched where the streak of light had burned out at its apex because instinct told me to, (at this moment I was thinking of dashing inside and yelling for my wife), and...out of nowhere, I can see depth, neighbor's houses, stars and everything behind it when a bright white light like Orb last Wednesday flashed, then the hole closed. Happened just before midnight. This Orb was exactly like the July 21st Orb. I immediately went in and told my wife.

I was hiking with my daughter in Almaden Quicksilver Park, San Jose. This is next to Mnt. Umunhum, where an old Air Force base resides on top of the mountain. The large rectangular building on top of the mountain is very prominent and often referred to as "the cube". My daughter and I were looking at one of the huge power line structures just off the trail. My daughter walked off the trail, toward the structure, while I looked up at the birds sitting on top of it. I believe we were facing south and part of the sky was in view but there were also trees partially blocking the view as well. I saw a bright spherically-shaped object flying right to left at what appeared to be a very fast speed. The object appeared to be emitting a bright white light all around it, yet had a slight silver shimmer to it as if the sun was also partially reflecting off of it. My daughter did not see the object from her vantage point. We walked a few yards down the trail whe! re we could get a good view of the horizon (no trees in the way) but the object was long gone. I wish I had my phone out to take a video but it was gone in a matter of seconds. It was definitely not a plane, not a drone, and not a bird. It is difficult to determine how large the object was. It looked extremely high-tech.

Peter, I follow and respect your work, have also spoken to you several times over the years. I'm a researcher in the field, worked for ((personal and employment history deleted)) crystal skull researcher. I was driving on highway I-35 Friday night and saw two orb shaped balls of fire hovering and moving in unison slowly to the south of the highway. They seemed to be observing a traffic jam from road construction. It was very brief and gave off no vibe/feeling which seemed to indicate they may have been ours or drones.
