I was outside going to the bathroom before I leave for work and noticed a really bright star. I thought it was kind of shimmering/moving but really couldn’t tell for sure. I said to myself on my way back to my camper that if it’s still shimmering that I was going to grab my phone and start recording. It really starts moving around and blinked once, when I start recording, I held my phone as still as possible. I think the video speaks for itself. I’m a simple person, live simple, don’t have much. I don’t do social media and never been on Facebook etc. Not the kind of person that takes pictures or videos of things.

At 3:33 I was woken by my dog. I put him out to pee in the front yard. While I was waiting for him to come back in I stood at the doorway, watching. At 3:35 a white orb shot by. It was following the path of the road, heading east towards the harbour. It was bright and white, shining like a star (blurred edges). It was approximately 3 feet in diameter and hovered 4-5 feet above the pavement. It was completely silent and sped by so quickly that, had I blinked at that exact moment, I would have missed it. The next day I tried to replicate the speed (this road is narrow, 30km/hr limit with speed bumps) and could not get close. I surmised that it was travelling 100-120km/hr

I was star gazing in clear moonless sky approximately 3:30 am on Tuesday, 09/26/2023, northeast corner of Oregon, when craft appeared before me (following visual disturbance of some type), a large red "V" was on its underside, estimate the object was less than 500 ft above me, flew off almost directly overhead, completely silent, as it passed I felt sensation of a smooth "wave" pass over me, then craft moved off towards south eastern Washington state and out of my visual range.

Myself and my passenger were heading north north just before midnight on 8/28/23 when to the left of our vehicle in sky we both caught glimpse of a metallic spherical orb. We were heading north on Dequindure Rd just before m59 expressway. We both afterwards discussed we thought it was a star or jet at first however as we spot it it jolted or maneuvered sharply and extremely fast up and than shot way in a straight line like a shooting star. It was like nothing we’ve seen and didn’t resemble a drone or normal aircraft. We discussed and were boggled by it for for next twenty minutes en route to our destination. The whole thing lasted seconds and happened so fast it and the way it moved up than shot away rapidly was not like anything we had visualized before.

I went outside to get some air, I looked up directly over my head and was watching a plane fly over and all of a sudden these 3 Disc shaped craft came flying up on the plane and seemed like they were chasing it, but when they got close, 2 of them kept going and one hung back and seemed to kind of circle the plane one time and then took off and caught back up with the other 2! They seemed like they were racing each other, they would drift towards each other and then separate! This all happened in less than 5 sec! I could easily identify the plane ! It had blinking lights on tale and wings, the other 3 did not to seem to have any lights at all, but were putting off some kind of glowing light! Could have been slightly still lit by the sun Maybe not real sure! I just know 100% what I saw, and they were not planes! Moving faster than anything I've ever seen, I have watched satellites fly over and I pretty much know there speed, these things were not satellites, I could tell they were or had been messing around with that plane! I really wish I could talk to the Pilots of that plane! They were so close to the plane, the Pilots had to have seen them go Screaming by! And I know these were not jets! Jets can't move the way these things were moving! That one that slowed down almost came to a complete stop and then changed directions several times circling that plane!

Key West, FL
I was riding a scooter back towards my hotel, after having dinner at the Hard Rock restaurant in Key West Florida. I was slowing down to approach a stop sign at the end of Caroline Street, at Whitehall Street. I did not have anything to drink that evening. Cloud cover was low over the entire island. I noticed a large, green light just above the cloud cover, moving very slowly in a North-West direction, towards the Navy Base on Key West. When the light got fairly close to the Navy Base, it abruptly changed course in a South-West direction and sped up to a near-subsonic speed, quickly disappearing over the horizon (behind trees and buildings). Immediately after it disappeared, at least 6 other people on the sidewalk along Caroline Street started exclaiming about the light and it's strange behavior, along with me. We all wondered about it for a while, then continued on our separate ways. During the entire experience, the UFO made absolutely no sounds - the abrupt change of course and speed did not appear to have any affect on the object.

Almost 2 years ago my husband and I moved to Texas County Missouri from the St Louis Illinois area. I knew immediately there was something different about my property, and a 13 acres that we lived on. I've always grown up in a haunted house my whole life a famously known haunted house but never had I had seen what I have seen since I've lived out here. I started seeing strange lights in the sky the beginning of Last Summer as well as my mother-in-law in all six of her children in our blended family. But nothing has been like the summer my husband's niece moved here from Florida the very beginning of Summer when I lost my 18 year old daughter she was murdered in Illinois she came to be with me and and help me get through things. She had never seen a UFO or a ghost but the summer she has. We have got to the point where we sit on the porch every single night it's our favorite thing to do we don't go out we're young still well I'm 40 and she's 31 but our favorite thing to do in the whole world right now is sit on my back porch and watch UFOs because they come every single night in all shapes and colors and sizes they form pyramid triangles in the skies a lot of times they look like they're coming out of a Mothership that we can't see because there's so many coming out we watched three of them form in the sky three big bright lights and then come together to the one in the middle as one I kept telling my husband about this he thought we were crazy he goes to bed quite a bit earlier than I do pretty much with the birds this whole summer he has thought his niece and I were actually crazy we kept telling him what we were seeing and I've noticed a pattern and I know exactly what's going to happen when it's going to happen every night just by watching every single night in my backyard this summer like I'm telling all my friends from Illinois and family that come out to see me and support me because of my loss what I sit and experience every night I don't think anybody really knew what they were getting theirselves into or what they ever thought they were going to see but in the last two weeks 22 people from Illinois have been out to my house and camped in my backyard and we have all sat in my backyard and watch them start and they'll go for hours and fly around my Skies. A total of 36 people this Summer that have come out to visit me have seen these lights in the sky and when I tell them what pattern it's going to go in that's exactly how it goes it's almost like they know I'm watching them too I just need somebody with amazing cameras and video that can come sit on my back porch and experience what we are experiencing out here in Texas County Missouri they say Piedmont Missouri is the hotspot for UFOs they have nothing on Licking Missouri last night my husband and I at 8:45 p.m. walked outside on our back porch and there was two of them in my backyard closer than they ever have been and brighter than they ever have been and then the show started shortly after that there's one that keeps coming back over the left field and it goes down into the woods I'm pretty sure they live in the woods we see them flying up all the time from the woods we've also seen a giant ball of light almost looked like the sun coming out of my woods and disappearing over our head until like another vortex I can't explain it it sounds crazy I just need to get the story out where I live there is no ambient light and a lot of strange things going on a lot of strange recordings that we've got of noises in our Woods that are not from this Earth trust me we googled everything we could but I have plenty of footage night visiting camera footage video videos on our phones from this whole summer as well as several witnesses thanks for reading my story and I hope to hear from you guys

Against a bright blue cloudless sky, saw white tube shaped thing/vehicle in the sky. Plane flew right by us to the left a few seconds after it disappeared which was a clear reminder that this thing was NOT AN AIRPLANE. Not a cloud. Unmistakable and remarkable. It was stationary in the sky above our neighborhood park, and stayed there for about a minute and then VANISHED. It looked so close I could see lines near the middle, and a darker area near the top of it. I have never seen anything like it in my life. Resembled the body of a submarine, very very close in shape and size, except bright white and no propellers or other visible exhaust or machinery to move it or allow it to stay stationary for such a long time.

Amble, NORTHUMB · United Kingdom
Place of observation was near Amble in Northumberland and lasted for approx 15 minutes. I saw a dark solid object on the horizon. Due to the distance it appeared spherical. The object changed altitude constantly, sometimes at sea level sometimes above. This was north east from the beach between Amble and High Hauxley. It was very dark in colour and had no distinguishing features. It slowly moved south until eventually out of site. I took 4 videos ( over 1 min in total) and 15 photographs on my camera phone. 2 videos and 2 images are attached to this report. I am happy to be contacted by email.

Object looked close enough to identify with binoculars - shape unclear but did not look like a plane. I commented immediately and others began watching also. Moving more slowly than an aircraft. Travelling in a southerly direction but seemed to hover at times and change course. It had been large enough or close enough to be able to follow for some time but it suddenly disappeared whilst we were trying to find it to look through binoculars. Blue skies and very good visibility. Left no trail.

Three of my neighbors or more witnessed this white disk this morning and it hovered for hours then flew north and returned hours later at 3PM and is still here. That's what's so strange.

Vallejo, CA
Was driving westbound on Highway 37 at the corner of my eye I saw a large what I thought was a helicopter crash. The mountain range about 10 miles to my right after I saw it I realize it was not a helicopter and it seem like a big box flying in the air and at first I thought it was a helicopter that was repairing the power lines that run along parallel to 37 about 5 miles towards the Naval communication station at stags island, after watching it for a few seconds, I started videotaping it and realized it was not a helicopter the way it was moving in the size of the object just as I seen the one that was watching the movement a second one Creston, about a mile or two west of the first one. They seem to be in sync and at the same time at some points it look like the object was a square it was a circle it was a cone and appoints it look like it had something hanging from it, the first object moving closer, and then retreating on the same aspect, Darding across the mountain range back-and-forth and eventually landing, and as it landed, I seen type of a heat sink. Also, the second one did did the same thing and then eventually camouflage his self on the mountain side, and disappeared into the mountain range.

I noticed a fast moving star heading north but it slowed down to almost to a stand still and flashed very bright light then continued to pick up speed and I watched it until it went out of sight. At first I thought it was a satellite but it was moving too fast then slowed down almost stopping then let off a intense flash then continued back to its fast speed. I could tell that this star like object was not in our atmosphere but was traveling in space.

Vista, CA
I was passing by my front door when I saw two lights to the East, approx. 25° over mountain ranges to the East of Vista. At arms length, the larger light appeared to be the size of a single pea (Not the whole pod, just a pea). The larger brighter light was greenish white in color, stationary, and appeared to have a slight haze around it. There was a smaller white light approaching it from the North. The smaller white light abruptly turned toward and accelerated above and around the large green light and began heading slowly towards the North East and faded out and disappeared within a few seconds. The large green light appeared to begin slowly moving East, before turning slightly North East, and then also fading out and disappearing. I continued to watch and about 20 seconds later, a bright small light appeared suddenly in the same area, began slowly moving South and flashed 2 times extremely bright, and then faded out and was gone. I then called to my wife and told her what I was seeing. She joined me at an upstairs window, where we continued to watch several dim and bright lights suddenly appear, sometimes two at a time and fly in random directions. (I put down 15+ craft seen, because that is a loose estimate. There were only 1 to 2 objects seen at any given time, but they would appear and disappear with such frequency, I concluded that they couldn't have been the same two craft every time). Occasionally there would be a larger light than the rest, that would flash brightly and disappear. This all went on for about an hour and 20 min and appeared to be contained to one small section of sky. This seemed odd to me. I am located right under commercial and private air lanes, and I clearly saw and heard commercial air traffic pass over much higher than the UAP's appeared to be. The UAP's made no sound. I did hear what sounded to me like 3 quick sonic booms far away. I attempted to capture video using my phone, and will need to run it through some filters to see if I caught anything. I also tried to take pictures. MCAS Miramar is 23 miles South of my Location. MCB Camp Pendleton is located 9.4 miles North West of my location. MCAGCC 29 Palms is 97 miles North East of my location. Vandenberg Space Force Base is located 251 Miles North West of my location, and March Air Reserve Base is located 55 miles North of my location Fighter jets from Miramar almost never fly over vista. Frequently seen military aircraft in Vista include Vipers, Ospreys, Sea Stallions, C-130's, and rarely Air Force C5's will fly over heading East. No military aircraft were observed anytime during or after the sighting. I am 45 years old and have witnessed several UAP's throughout my life. My father was US Army, and I have been heavily into NASA and Military Aviation since childhood. My family has a history of UAP sightings, starting in the late 1950's that continues today.

Fueling at the BZI project west of cedar, I seen lights to the north, I started recording, something ran in front of my truck, flashing my headlights, I turned to record it, I seen the bright lights, and the first UFO. it was going south to north, then faded. I watched one after the other, coming left to right, then right to left. I got video of some of them, but editing here at home, my video was cut and not uploaded. The last time I seen them, I was in my truck, they pulled my electrical, and partially disabled my fuel pump. This time, as I was out of my truck, what was on the ground with me did no harm.

Something blocked my headlights out. I was recording lights I thought might be UFO'S, it turned out, Something was to my left, it was tall on all fours and ran as soon as I turned the camera to it. I didn't see the light above me to my left until then. They had already disabled my fuel truck twice in previous nights out there.

I saw an object mid-way about 45 degrees in the sky north of my house, guessing 10 plus miles north. It had a distinct red burning glow to it. I grabbed my binoculars because it was so peculiar. The object cleared up and the colors I saw were red and green like Christmas tones in shapes next to or on a round white light. It didn’t move so I walked inside. As I walked past a window, I saw not only had it moved, it was continuing to move swiftly from North to South/SE. I quickly walked back out and it was already flying over my neighbor’s tree, out of sight. I would say that was about 15-20 miles in a few seconds (6-10?), and the object was high up in the sky. I had hight power binoculars but it still didn’t seem close or clearer than vague shapes with color.

Simpsonville, SC
Me and my fiancé have seen well over a hundred orb like UFOs over Simpsonville for the past 9-10 months. They look just like stars but are much closer, I'd guess that its over 50,000-100,000 feet maybe even further, but definitely over 30,000 feet. Nearly every night I stand out and watch for them, I am guaranteed to see at least one, even a handful, if the weather isn't cloudy. They can move silently in incredible and erratic ways, quick zig zag movements in all directions, high speed turns and are able to stop and stay completely still and take off again in the blink of an eye. The best way to describe their movement is like a waterbug floating on the water, darting across the sky in quick bursts. I've used the term "Waterbug" myself for months trying to describe it to friends, but recently I did some research and this exact term "waterbug" was used by AAF Personnel describing UFOs that appeared at Maxwell Field, Montgomery on the night of June 28th 1947, approximately 2120 central time. The official report names CAPT. WILSON H KAYKO 0-38841, CAPT. JOHN H CANTRELL 0-255404, 1st LT. THEODORE DEWEY 0-2094172, CAPT. REDMAN. I have also seen movements other than the "waterbug". I have seen shooting star like streaks but they are "closer" with much brighter and shorter trails, and have seen bright moving orbs completely vanish while moving (no clouds to cover them), My fiance was with me watching and then we both saw it disappear. She has also described to me a terrifying moment when she witnessed the bright orb morphing and changing shape and color, she was genuinely terrified that night and the following days and I have myself seen similar happenings. This is so frequent in my life, that i cannot believe we are the only ones in Simpsonville seeing them, it is so frequent that anyone could look up at night and see them. I made a report to NUFORC a month or two ago, but I wish I said something in december of last year when i first saw one. For months I thought (hoped) this was maybe secret testing of something man-made because have aerospace manufacturing companies nearby. This area (Simpsonville/Greenville/Mauldin) has Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Stevens Aerospace and Defense, and the Donaldson Air Force Base (which is now public airport). I tried many times to record activity but I only have a simple camera phone, I'm not sure if you have the ability to send someone with real equipment out but I am positive you would find something interesting.

The ship up front had windows from bottom to top . Front had most lights on. There had to be 30 levels of windows on it. Was so close saw small stream of smoke from it and low hum. Have great picture of this . It has lights all around it you can tell it is oval round shape. I see this craft every night it usually looks like a very bright star and will go out and move closer to my house. I am scared and would appreciate a call back 740 XXX-XXXX .also had vision of being on the craft and they put something in both ears and saw its face for about 5 seconds. Also been followed by it. Seen this for 2 years and every night since. Thank You

I was walking along the beach when I noticed a bright slashing light in the mid sky moving SE no crazy speed but steady. I went to take a video but my camera wouldn’t pick up anything and I believe that they were bright enough to have showed up on the screen but I got nothing. They were there about 35 seconds before disappearing one by one behind or into a small cloud and they were all gone. I am still in shock it was pretty wild to see!

At first it seemed like a deflated weather balloon twisting in the wind. When I zoomed in… either the camera went out of focus (I can’t tell) or the object suddenly evaporated and then pulled itself back together. You can hear me say in the video “is that a weather balloon?” It was moving quickly across the sky though and it wasn’t rising. I had trouble keeping up with it. What was most odd is its shape. Not exactly the shape of a balloon. It wasn’t perfectly round. I figured it would fall if it were deflated. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]
