Port Jefferson, NY
I was walking my dog on Main St. Port Jefferson, NY on this date. A clear early morning illuminated by a very bright full moon. I was across the street from the quiet ferry terminal and at the edge of the LI Sound. A white ball of light flew from west to east over my right shoulder. It was at a low altitude and may have been climbing? It seemed to break into 3rds and disintegrated or simply vanished. I heard a faraway sizzling sound which led me to believe it may be space junk or a chunk of rock? It was not a flare & had no trail. It was at least as big as a bowling ball but hard to judge in such a short time.

I was just looking out at the bright moon and off in the distance I spotted this super bright light. Brighter than a spot light. I yelled for my husband to look at it. I started to take video with my phone, which mysteriously disappeared. My husband had grabbed his binoculars and got a better look at it than I did. What I seen when I zoomed in with my phone a a white light that almost looked distorted in an odd way. Kind of glitchy. Husband said it looked bright almost diamond shaped with all white lights spinning. Then it just disappeared after about 90 seconds.

Tiszanana, HEVES CO · Hungary
Last night (4/15/2022) was near full moon phase, and since initially it was a clear cloudless sky, I went out into the front yard for some fresh air to marvel at the sky. I currently live in a rural part of Hungary with little to no light pollution so the stars and the rather frequently passing satellites are almost always easily visible. As I was taking in the interesting light conditions caused by the illumination of the moon, I spotted a faint light, what I initially suspected to be a satellite. It entered my sight of vision from the north west and it had a south-easterly heading. I normally would have dismissed it as a satellite as it mostly behaved like one; the speed seemed constant and it was heading on a straight trajectory. The only thing that made me maintain visual contact with it was that it randomly and abruptly flashed up (twice maybe 3 times) with a white light similar to what I could describe as camera flash. It wasn't plane strobe lights--I'm familiar with those--and it wasn't random due to cloud cover, as it was completely clear and all the starts around it were clearly visible. In addition to the few and random flashes, it also began to fade somewhat but then in a matter of seconds it would go back to its original brightness. All of this was still nothing out of the ordinary. The fading and the flashing I assumed could be the result of the satellite turning and reflecting the light of the sun and/or the moon (sun was obviously not visible to me as it was 21:05 (GMT+2) +/- 5 minutes). The fading I figured was the object getting slightly closer to where the moon was (thus the moon light overpowering the illumination from the sun in the back). However, I found the re-illumination a little strange, but still nothing out of the ordinary. The flashing I also attributed to the possible drone activity--due to the current situation in Ukraine there's frequent aerial military presence in the region with NATO drones monitoring the area (I regularly check adsbexchange for activity). Once again, until this point there was nothing I hadn't seen before. However, after its re-illumination, the object (I'm still having goosebumps as I'm typing this) all of a sudden (literally in a split second) accelerated while doing a half infinity symbol like loop and shot off back to where it came from with now a north-westerly heading. The acceleration and the loop-like movement happened simultaneously and in a fashion I had never witnessed before; there was no anticipation or build up of any kind--they were both instantaneous. As the object shot off to where it came from, it even left a small light flare like tail behind it (for a millisecond) similar to a tracer bullet. The acceleration with the loop like turn and the disappearance all happened in less then a second. Obviously, all of this happened without any sound so it could not have been a jet fighter (familiar with those too and they are not capable of such movement). It also wasn't a shooting star; I've seen plenty of those too and I have never seen them do a 180 turn. I couldn't believe what i had just witnessed. I then entered the house to tell a family member who in response also ran out to observer the sky. We continued to monitor the sky for a few minutes, hoping it would come back, but it obviously didn't. 10 to 15 minutes later, we went back inside, and that's when I messaged my brother about what I had seen (that's how I have the accurate time). I also checked adsbexchange to see if there was any military or drone activity in the area, but other than the usual commercial traffic (often quite busy) and a few military transport planes (US and German Military) there was nothing in the area. Even if there was, this was definitely not plane like performance. For the next hour or so, I continued to go out and check to see if I could spot something similar. I even grabbed a pair of binoculars. I observed the occasional air traffic and some common satellite movement, which I now understandably followed with more scrutiny, but for a while there was noting unusual. Then, at around 22:00+gmt (maybe +30min), a similarly satellite like object appeared from the north north west. The object was once again approaching silently with an average satellite like speed and a constant whitish glow. Once again, not unlike a common satellite. Except, this object began to slow down and eventually came to a full stop above me with a 5-10 degree deviation to the north north west from the Zenith. As it began to slow down, I once again alerted the same family member, who instantly ran out and witnessed the slowing of the object. The object then began to slowly shift back and forth, left and right, and doing little but observable adjustments in its movement. In the binoculars it seemed like a regular star accept it was slowly moving. The motion was not due to shifts in my movement (due to breathing, etc.) nor would I attribute it to the shake in the binoculars. The small movements were clearly visible by both me and the other observer. After about 5-10 minutes of no other action, a cloud cover crept in, at which point the object along with all other celestial objects were no longer observable. The rest of the night was overcast and so is the following day (4/16/2022). I couldn't take a photograph or record it on video as the light was too faint and little to be picked up on camera. The first observation happened unexpectedly and very quickly. I have no idea what this object was, but based on the physics of the first observation, this was definitely not an airplane.

Tesuque, NM
For 2 solid minutes, at or near sundown, I saw a mothership hovering above Los Alamos from the hills in Tesuque, NM. It appeared as a very large ring that went from white light to golden in color. I took 4 photographs in a 1 minute duration of this craft.

A light flying above which I thought was satellite until it stopped and changed direction. I can rule out plane, helicopter, satellit, also no sound

Avon, OH
4/14/2022, about 10:42 pm, Avon, Ohio, backyard: I looked out briefly to check sky conditions, intending to make some astronomical observations if it was clear enough, as I’m a highly experienced amateur astronomer. After identifying several familiar stars in the clear part of the sky (Castor, Pollux, Procyon, Regulus), I happened to look directly overhead, and noticed to my surprise a very bright, pure white “star” that shouldn’t be there. It was at least as bright as Venus but directly overhead. I watched it to determine whether there was any motion, in case it was a satellite or airplane landing light, but there was no motion. After a few seconds (perhaps between 5 and 10 seconds), the light turned yellow and faded out. As it was fading, a second similar light suddenly appeared about 4° to the southwest of the first one, remained on for a shorter time – also a few seconds – and then yellowed and faded out the same way. For a few more seconds, a tiny faint pinpoint of light was visible in each of the two locations, then they too faded out and nothing more was to be seen. I listened intently for a couple of minutes but there was absolutely no sound (and this was on a calm, quiet night) so the lights were not from helicopters or airplanes. In any case, the only way airplane landing lights could be seen from directly underneath would be if an airplane was in a vertical dive; and no navigation lights or other lights ever appeared. I got binoculars and probed the area but nothing further could be seen other than normal background stars; there were no clouds in that part of the sky at the time. I considered the possibility that the objects might have been meteors coming directly at me, but the description did not seem to fit: the lights were the wrong color for meteors (pure white before fading to yellow), there was no trail or apparent motion (as would be expected if meteors were coming almost toward me), they were much brighter than any normal meteor, and they remained visible (especially the first one) several times longer than a meteor takes to appear and then fade out.

First craft was traveling south east and made a hook maneuver and parked what looked like along side the moon. It was followed by a camp ripley plane. Shortly after another ufo flew north to south. What appeared to be a completely different UFO came from directly above the moon to in front of or behind the moon. While other ufos flew in various scattered directions from east to west. South to north etc. at this point multiple military planes (at least 5) were coming from the east and heading west.

Le 10 avril 2022 vers 10h, le témoin observe depuis sa fenêtre un point lumineux, très haut dans le ciel, se déplaçant lentement et sans trainée. Il est occupé à des tâches ménagères dans la chambre de ses enfants. Son attention est attirée par un objet semblant fixe dans le ciel et se présentant sous la forme d'un "point lumineux assez petit". L’objet lui semble immobile pendant presque une minute, avant d’avancer plus rapidement puis effectuer des changements brusques de direction. A nouveau, l’objet semble s’immobiliser et s’incliner. Il apparaît sous forme de T avec une barre des deux côtés, un point au centre d’un des côtés. L’observation a duré plus de cinq minutes. L’objet a disparu au loin après une accélération très rapide. L’étrangeté perçue est créée par la trajectoire et par la forme de l’objet en fin d’observation. Le témoin considère également que l'altitude de l'objet est plus élevée que les observations habituelles d'avion qu'il fait. Et enfin l'absence de trainée, qui d'abord, l'a incité à penser à un planeur. La consistance de cette observation est de bonne qualité du fait des informations fournies par le témoin, ainsi que leur cohérence avec l'ensemble des données recueillies lors notre étude. L’étude du dossier, l’analyse de la carte CNOA, un échange avec l’aérodrome d’Azelot ont permis d’identifier l’objet observé. Il s’agit d’un avion Pilatus en provenance de l’aéroport d’Azelot, larguant des parachutistes (Ecole de parachutage de Nancy.) Le GEIPAN classe le cas en A : observation d’un avion. [GEIPAN classification A — Avion]

In April, i was sleeping in the dark, it was midnight and my room had a bright green flash. It happened in seconds. Fast forward to June 4th 2022, I was FaceTiming my friend and there was a connection issue. Her face seem to be distorted into a green like skeleton hovering over her face. I screenshot it and this happened exactly at 00:00

2 bright lights hovered above the city. One was a bright electric blue color and the other was golden yellow. The blue light was much brighter than the golden one. They were maybe 15 Thousand feet in the air and appeared rather large. The 2 of us watched them for at least 5 minutes. They didn’t move at all. Truly fascinating.

I was on my night-shift as a nightwatchman @ approximately 20.00 hrs on Friday the 9th April 2022 near the River Thames at Gravesend, Fast moving star size and shape moved very quickly overhead, I would say it was at cloud height. It rapidly slowed down till it almost stopped and then took off again at speed heading in my direction then vanished. There was no sound or any electrical power failure. I felt scared

Sat looking at stars w/ family. Our hobby. On and off multiple star like craft moved across the sky all at separate times and their own directions, when I put my laser in front of them they go higher into atmosphere. Every few minutes one comes and goes. Planes are flying in the sky simultaneously for an accurate size and physical comparison and the star craft are much higher and smaller in comparison, all going different ways.

Saw while on a cruise ship. A light in the sky far away was moving erratically… slow then fast then still… moving up, down then to the left for a little then quickly change direction. We saw it for about 15 min doing this. Then we saw a separate light that was blinking moving in the same way but just saw that for about 5 minutes. I’ve never seen anything move like that in the sky before.

I have videos of this UFO following me to work and creating a disturbing frequency that causes my ears to ring so loud that it fills up the area I am currently at. I asked the FSDO drone division in Oakland, CA and Ken said he did not know what it was and referred me to you. I want to send you very good videos of it following me to different cities and across state lines all the way to Ames Iowa- back on 3-25-22 at 5:40ish in the morning by 214th St . i have a great video of the same looking odd yellowish whitish star disc spinning pulsating UFO in the cornfield and it creates a very disturbing frequency that causes 4 distinct sounds. One is a very fast high pitched ringing of the ears with chirping sounds in the back ground, the other is a sharp fast high pitched sound with dental drilling sounds, the other is a quieter high pitched ear plugging sound and the last is like untethered electricity or hundreds of bees or cicada swarming around the head very fast . It is giving off Havana Syndrome frequencies. This is the UFO threatening our democracy. I believe if you figure out who this belongs to, you will find the attackers of the FBI ,CIA, and Homeland security agents in other countries and at our White House by the West Wing. I have seen it on numerous occasions moving around going higher up and down lower. I have the very compelling videos of it.. Please investigate it and find out who the perpetrators are.

UFO started flying from the northwest directly south. Around this time Camp Ripley is doing its nightly rounds. It was evident the Camp Ripley plane spotted the UFO and started chasing it. I watched until I was no longer able to see either objects. After the UFO was out of sight another object started to blink spontaneously to the left of where I was standing; it only lit up a portion of the sky and appeared to move erratically. The object was pure white light and was so bright it shut off our solar garden lights and flag light. I was able to get one look at the object that let out this massive amount of light and it was tiny like a seed or star size and not in our atmosphere.

Aprroximately 1 am I went for a smoke in my back yard and seen a white light that resembled the moon Comming from inside my tree as it was weird and I felt watched and have a cemetery in my backyard I pulled the camera out in case when I reviewed the footage there's a creature inside the bright light in the tree, the creature hesitates before fully showing its face and lifting its hand. I didnot see it till I reviewed the camera, but a couple days later kids were in the sandbox near the tree and playing with magnetics and weird magnetic shards were found throughout the sandbox. Again I have footage xo

My friend and I were fishing on the banks of the French broad river the sky was very clear. There was a crescent moon low on the horizon there appeared an Orange light in the north east section of the sky it past overhead for roughly 30 seconds we were able to videotape part of it. After passing overhead it slowly dimmed and vanished.

Just sharing an experience my boys and I had last night. Me and three of my boys were out in our hot tub looking up at the stars, which is pretty common for us on an evening, we frequently see satellite activity, and airplanes and point out constellations and specific stars. It was a very clear moonless night, with 0 light pollution. At the same time, three of us each noticed a different "satellite" moving seemingly slowly, across the sky from different directions. They all converged into an exact isosceles triangle, not very far above us in the NE sky. The triangle then spun in a clockwise direction three times, putting the three "lights" each back into their original positions in the triangle. They then spread from each other a small distance at the same speed, then disappeared. My boys were all exclaimed, "whoa, we should have videoed that!".

Three erratically moving, yet relatively stationary multicolored lights visible from residential location in Danvers, MA. All three were high in the night sky. One light north by northeast, one in the east and one in the south. Visible to the naked eye. When viewed through binoculars, lights became crystal clear and focused. They looked like squiggly lines spinning in erratic multicolored circles. Each light was the same three colors: white, electric blue and electric red. Very similar to what you might see if you aimed a cat toy laser at a wall or floor and spun it in circles, but multicolored and in the sky. Night sky is clear. Stars are visible. Sighting viewed by two adults: 46 year old female and 49 year old male. The lights were too far for my phone to focus and appear only as a flashing dot in the video. Note that the movement of the dot was in fact me moving, not the dot. I tried to record through the binoculars, but failed. The light in the video is the one seen in the south direction.
