My boyfriend and I were up early this morning and as we were watching the sky, this circle shaped object and red objects darted across the sky. Since EAA is starting down here I just blew it off like it was something they were experimenting with. But as we sat snd watched the more interesting i thought it was snd began recording. Mind you I have an iPhone 11 so video quality isn’t exactly top notch. There were 100s if not 1009s of these things! It was early morning sky just before dawn so it’s still pretty dark out.

During the early morning hours, I was outside on my patio. At first I noticed red lights in the sky flying around which would leave a tail behind them. Some were just sitting there - others were zipping around really fast. i called to my boyfriend who also witnessed these lights and I went to get my phone so I could record what we were seeing. Honestly, to me I thought that it was a bunch of drones. When the red lights disappeared (almost like they faded into the sky) , in the first video, something just zipped across the sky - extremely fast. The second video is when we saw the orb. It wasn't close - but it morphed into something like it was spinning and had red and blue lights.

Maryville, TN
I was sky-watching while sitting on my backyard deck (I like looking for satellites or watching aircraft from nearby McGhee Tyson Airport). I have a pair of binoculars that I use during this endeavor. On the night of June 15th, 2021, I saw an aircraft taking-off around 2300 hours. It was traveling in an easterly direction, and was about 45 degrees above the horizon, when I focused my binoculars on it. At this time I saw two lights, which looked like what you would expect when seeing satellites, traveling above, and in the same direction as, the aircraft. I then saw each light bank-away from each other, and take-up a position behind the aircraft. It looked like a classic fighter maneuver to get behind an adversary aircraft. The lights "tailed" the aircraft (closely, but not close enough to be a hazard) for a short distance before they both climbed upward at a steep angle. I lost sight of the lights before losing sight of the aircraft. Other than the engine noise from the aircraft, no unusual sound was heard. They lights were a solid, white color. They had no other lights that were visible to me (such as collision or navigation lights as should be seen on an aircraft). I do not think they were drones, at least in the conventional/non-military sense owing to their speed and maneuverability. I should also mention that I have good knowledge of aviation and aircraft.

Bellevue, NE
It was a white and green sphere almost like a giant ball. I think it was 8 feet tall and 8 feet wide but im not sure. It was outside and pretty high up in the sky but not too high. It made a weird crinkling noise like plastic being crumpled up. It just sat there and didnt move but right before it left it made a pop sound and went away so fast you could barely see it leave.

Gladstone, MI
It was 10:30pm, and me and my buddy like to look up on clear nights and stargaze. We just decided to give up when noticed a small triangular object moving fast east to west with three white lights in each corner, no other colors. Only seen that for about 5-10 seconds then it was gone. About 20 minutes later, after finally calming down from what we just seen, me and my buddy see 5 to 6 yellowish orbs fly over in a horizontal line for a few seconds until they started Maneuvering around each other and swerving back-and-forth faster than any aircraft I’ve ever seen. no way a plane could do what they were doing. And there’s no way it was drones, no noise whatsoever and no flashing lights. Just 6 solid yellow orbs dancing smoothly with each other. And they had to be low for how fast we lost sight of them behind the houses. Craziest thing I’ve ever seen. Was in shock and didn’t even think to take my phone out. Both sightings only lasted 10-15 seconds. And even if I did get my phone out in time, it probably wouldn’t of caught anything seeing how phone cameras barely pick up the stars.

Sparks, NV
Looked like a Meteor falling to earth, it was not burning out like I expected, it was round and bright white, it then leveled out at about 300' and headed East, gradually gaining altitude. Speed was well over 1,000 mph. The entire event lasted less than 10 seconds until it disappeared behind the hills. It was about 10 to 15 miles North of Interstate 80. From my position it looked about the size of a golf ball, But was probably about 30+' in diameter. It made no sound that I could hear. Slight trail when it was falling towards the earth, no trail when it leveled out and headed East.

Laying in grass looking at planes in the Logan flight path and noticed a shinny silver object above the planes traveling in a more westerly path than the plane north west path. Seemed like it was much higher than the plans approaching landing. Watched it until my view was blocked.

On the way home from work saw a star that kept moving around and almost flashing pulled over and recorded and saw that it was an orb not a star.

Abiquiu, NM
On Saturday, June 12, 2021 at about 9:30 PM (about 30 minutes to an hour after sunset), while camped at the Corps of Engineers campground at Lake Abiquiu, NM, and facing north at Camp Site 36, I saw a royal blue orb moving from the middle of the sky to the north until it reached the hills toward the town of Abiquiu. Once it reached the hills, it adjusted its trajectory, rose above the hills and disappeared from view. The speed seemed about the same as a typical aircraft. The size was larger than a typical aircraft—perhaps 20 percent of the size of the typical full moon.

Niwot, CO
June 12, 2021 at 12:10pm Between Longmont and Boulder, midway, near Niwot. Sunny, clear day. A few passing wispy clouds. I was on the passenger side of the vehicle, looking out of the passenger door window toward Northwest, at the horizon. At about a 20-degree angle and beyond the horizon from my viewpoint, I saw 4 small white orbs slowly and smoothly ‘dancing’ within a cluster. There was also 1 red/orange orb that remained stationary in the lower left of the cluster. There seemed to be no pattern to the ‘dance’. The orbs appeared milky and fuzzy, perhaps because of the distance. I watched for about 90 seconds then asked my husband, who was driving, to look at them. He was not able to visually locate them. One by one, the orbs seemed to disappear after having watched them for about 3 minutes. I am a 60-year-old college educated female from Tennessee. This is the first time I have reported a UFO sighting. Otherwise, I may have seen a UFO, along with my sister, when I was around 12-years-old in Louisiana.

I have a window that looks up at the sky, in my bathroom. I was looking out and saw the object come into view and travel past, pretty fast. It looked like a bright white sphere, in a clear sky. It was traveling East. It was around 9:30 AM. I am positive it was not a bird, balloon, or traditional aircraft. It was very distinct. I have never seen anything like it.

Fayette, ME
Thursday June 10th around 10 pm, in Fayette, Maine. I was laying on the couch looking out at the lake. I noticed a bright distant light just over the tree line. It caught my eye because it was pulsating colors: red, green, and white. But it was not moving like a plane, it was stationary. I told my husband and we looked at it through binoculars and it was indeed changing colors. We decided to go out with a camcorder to check it out closer. We stood on our dock on the pond. While he filmed we also noticed at least 2 other distant “stars” over the tree line doing the same thing - blinking red and green. Suddenly I noticed to our left a much closer and larger bright light, again just above the tree line. It was round and overall it looked yellowish/orange with a small dark orange center. It hovered above the tree line and then slowly rose upwards and started to move in a North Easterly direction to cross the lake. It was changing colors as it moved along. The light was so bright it reflected on the calm water. It was totally silent and moved across the pond, over our neighbors cottage which is only 100ft away from us and then over our cottage before we could no longer see it because trees were blocking our view. We were looking towards the West and a little bit SouthWest when we first saw the orb. The object moved toward the NorthEast. We watched the bright object for at least 7-8 mins. The camcorder pictures do not show the object as large as we saw it with our eyes. I believe the time frame for this sighting was between 10:30-11:00 pm EST. The next night we went out again and could see the original blinking dots of light, which we now believe are stars that are low in the sky, so they refract the light to red and green. (I read up on this on the internet.) There was no repeat sighting of the larger, brighter orange orb which was clearly not a star and was very close.

Bainbridge Island, WA
On Wednesday afternoon, June 9, 2021, from my office in Winslow on Bainbridge Island, I noticed out the window a hawk hunting. It slowly circled over the complex across the street and then circled a bit north as a crow came from the east and dove at it. I went outside to watch. As I did,a tiny white object caught my eye. The object was east and a bit south of the birds, but much further away and higher in elevation. It was flying from south to north and maintained its speed, direction, and elevation. It was white or looked white against the blue sky and appeared round. I could not identify what it was. It had no tail, no wings, no prop, no rotor, and I did not hear any sound from it. I saw no other color except white and looked but could not see any lights, appendage, or anything on it. It did not emit anything, no exhaust, smoke, light, and didn’t leave anything either, like a condensation trail. I looked to see if anything else was flying near it, but! I did not see anything. I watched for as long as I could see it but eventually it became difficult to see. I lost sight of it as it went further north and faded from view. I looked for them, after, but could not spot the hawk and crow. Unfortunately, I had left my phone inside, so I did not get photos or video. Perhaps a minute or two after my sighting, a small commuter plane flying southeast to northwest flew overhead but it was closer to me and much lower in elevation than the white object had been. Afterward, I made sure to note the time and estimated that I probably watched the object, all total, for not quite a minute from probably 2:14 to 2:15pm PDST. I checked and the Flightradar24 app and it shows no return for the east side of Bainbridge Island or over Puget Sound to the east of Bainbridge in its radar record, for 2:14 – 2:15pm. I took a screen capture of the 2:14pm radar map. The next radar return that would be visible from my front yard (2:17pm) is the commuter plane that I saw about a minute or two after I lost sight of the object. The commuter was Maverick Airlines Flight APC 690 in a Cessna 208B Grand Canyon flying from Boeing Field, Seattle to Port Angeles at 3800 feet, flying at 153 kts. ground speed when it was overhead, according to the same app. I captured this too. At 2:14pm PDST, the approximate time of my sighting, the conditions on my street on Bainbridge Island, Washington were approximately 61° F, sunny, and blue skies. Some low clouds passed overhead during the day, but none were visible at the time of the sighting and there was no wind. It was mild and there was only blue sky. I checked but the Heavens Above website’s database of all satellites’ flight paths, online, shows no satellites (of any kind) flying over my location from 2pm to 3pm, June 9, 2021. If I had not happened to go outside to watch the hawk and crow, and if they had not been where they were in the sky, relative to me, I never would have noticed or had reason to notice the object. Nothing would have drawn my attention to it. The small white object could have been a drone, but its speed was impressive for its small size and lack of exhaust. I still do not know what it was.

Carbondale, CO
I am 32 years old professional engineer with almost 10 years expirence in civil development and have an environmental engineering degree from CU. It was sunset and we were walking to the east on Main St. toward downtown to join the First Friday festivities when I saw a flicker of bright white light in the sky. The sky was a beautiful red and orange from the sun set with some scattered showers and isolated thunder storms around the valley. I figured it was a condor/buzzard reflecting the sun of its wings which I have seen before when the large birds in the area circle up a thermal. The object then did a circle or moved back and forth flashing or reflecting the light of the sunset again and again. I thought maybe it was a drone with bright lights flying just over the town but the rhythm of the flashes wasn’t like anything I’ve ever seen. It circled again and I realized it was much further away and moving much faster as it was passing in and out of a isolated ! downpour miles away. It was zipping and swooping in circles in and out of the rain streaks you can see coming down from the clouds throwing reflective burst of light at us as the sunlight caught it. I told my friend to look up as a said “look a ufo”. He saw it do one more circle with the brightest flash of what appeared to be a chrome object reflecting light from the sun like if some body was trying to signal us with a giant mirror. Except it was was above the mountains and in the clouds. The object stopped and held still as if it knew I saw it and it was caught in the act. At this point my buddy, his girlfriend, my girlfriend and one more buddy were all looking at it. We could see just a dot that was darker then the surrounding thin clouds. It sat still for what felt like 20-30 seconds and then just disappeared. It didn’t zip off. It just blinked out of existences or this dimension. Moments later about a block away we were explaining what we saw to a friend and he said ! he saw it too.

Moving at extreme speed, the sphere was small and lower than planes fly. No sound was emitted, and no blinking lights to indicate it was a plane or helicopter. No trail was left which would have indicated it to be a shooting star.

I thought I was looking at a narrow little cloud in the sky from our deck then noticed it had a small round object at its left side - and I realized the cloud wasn't a cloud but perhaps a white trail from this object that was ascending at a very steep angle - that's when I grabbed my iPhone and began recording the video - the object was white and then separated from the trail and then moved vertically and then quickly moved to right and then both the object and the trail abruptly disappeared. Within seconds my other witness noticed the round white object high in the sky to the right of our house staying static for a few seconds and then I also saw it when it began moving in a chaotic pattern for a couple of seconds and then it disappeared. Unfortunately, it happened so fast I was unable to begin shooting another video of it. The area it reappeared in was the eastern sky and its first appearance was in the southwestern sky. Because the object and the trail di! sappeared at same time and then object reappearing in a completely different location I do not believe this could in any way be a satellite or rocket, etc.

Johnson City, TN
I was sitting outside when I noticed a white or metallic sphere in the sky. It did not move quickly but did move toward me from north to south, opposite of the direction of the few clouds that were in the sky. The sphere appeared to move back and forth along an axis or like a gyroscope as it moved across the sky. I took photos and video with my cell phone and sent to friends. When I looked back toward the sky, less than 2 minutes later, the sphere was nowhere to be seen. This was odd to me as it wasn't a quick moving object and would not have logically been able to move out of sight in that amount of time.

Hemet, CA
This sighting occurred on the evening of May 30th, 2021 at approximately 8:49 pm. I was driving alone, working doing deliveries in the city of Hemet, CA. I was driving thru a quiet residential area when I spotted two lights in the sky above me, moving eastward. They looked like glowing orange orbs and moved silently across the sky. It was difficult to gauge their size as I was also trying to keep my eyes on the road. I grabbed my phone and snapped a quick photo thru the windshield of my car. I was in the middle of a delivery and couldn't stop to observe more closely or record video. I sped up to my drop off point which was less than a minute away with the intention of recording the lights with my phone. I reached my destination, shut off my car and exited the vehicle. The objects were almost directly above me now, still moving eastward and making no sound. As soon as I dropped off my delivery at the residence, I quickly moved back to where I could get a clear view of the objects. There were trees at the residence that had blocked my view of the lights. As I approached my car I looked up just in time to see them vanish simultaneously. They didn't fly off, they just dissappeared. The strangest thing about this incident was not the lights themselves but the fact that just moments before seeing the lights, the thought of an alien encounter or abduction had just popped into my head. Coincidence? Maybe, but it was very strange timing.

Des Plaines, IL
I noticed an orange light in the sky, so I stepped outside to get a better look and to see if I would hear helicopter or an airplane engine, but it was silent. As it traveled over my head I noticed another stationary orange orb through the tree top blinking. I of course didn't have my phone to capture it on video. As it traveled I lost sight of it over our roof, so I ran to my back door because I was sure I would see it still moving through the night sky, but it was unfortunately gone, so ran ack to where I initially witnessed it and the stationary one was gone and I have been baffled with what I saw. I am very familiar with commercial and military craft. What I saw was not a traditional aircraft. It was completely silent and did not have any flashing indicator lights. I will keep watching the night sky in hopes of witnessing it again.

I always go to this lake, so I know what everything should look like. This was out of the usual so I started recording it. It was a single orange orb, I guess you could say. It was illuminating the water like the sun would at sunset, just not as bright. It was pulsating a tiny bit. And then it just faded away. The video I got was 15 seconds but it was there for longer. My filming is horrendous but you can see it for about half of the video
