No blinking, No noise. Was around for another minute or so after video and then "turned" East and faded quickly out of sight (fading into distance not just light fading to black).

Hickory, NC
I could see a small light the size of a far away start (not blinking) and it was making a circular motion vertically over and over. I saw this vertical circular motion 4 times. When it would make a loop, you could see half of the loop then it would go up and disappear for about 15 seconds and come back down again to continue its loop. After the loop stopped, 2 objects flew across the sky very high up(again not flashing) and moving at a fast speed while another came in the opposite direction towards them and past them. All the aircrafts were up as high as a satellite would be and moving at a very fast speed. After they passed through the sky, no more were seen after looking for another 20 minutes.

Was walking my dogs this morning as I do every early morning before the sun rises. I'm used to seeing aircraft in this area because of the airforce base and nearby airports. This was not any of those. This was not a shooting star which I have seen many times. This was light. Not like there was a light on it, but was the light. Maybe 300ft above my head. The speed was extremely fast. No sound, contrail, or shape. Just a light flying from right to left or coming from the NE flying to SW of where I was.

Salton City, CA
We witnesses bright large amber yellow lights over the Salton city area at about 10 o’clock at night we stopped the car to get out we were very close probably within a mile or two appeared to coming towards us first and got larger I’m a private pilot and I did not hear an engine a jet no rotor wash they appear to be hovering but then in a very quick manner of the 13 to 10 lights four of them burned out instantly or just disappeared vanished and then there was a linear chain that went on a Wright degree angle all in a line at about a 45° angle and then it quickly turned into two triangles one on top of the other point-to-point one inverted one normal but then it went to a formation that reminded me of a the Air Force flying over the channel in World War II kind of a staggered on top of each other wingman formation and then two of them disappeared or the lights just went out they got really small like they were heading eastbound it appeared and just disappeared and then one by one they just disappeared it look like they got smaller and they vanished was very very surreal and bizarre

Looked blue in color and seemed to glow. Moved slowly but made jerky movements up and down and side to side. I took a photo and a video with my iPhone 11. I zoomed in on the blue light and it seemed to rotate. Looked liked it had circles around the main blue circle. Lasted about 10 minutes before it just disappeared.

Walked outside to the parking lot, looked up at the stars. I noticed a star like like light traveling northeast. I pointed it out. To my friend who was coming down the stairs. He said it was a plane and I said no blinking lights and their was no noise. It was also high in the sky. It was traveling and seemed to have a wobbly pattern to it's path. It also disappeared completely. Clouds cover was very faint and you could still see through them. That is when we noticed the second star after the other one faded. We watched it for a little bit and it pretty much followed the them flight path. It was headed north east as well. Like it was following the interstate. We stopped watching and had to go somewhere. So I don't know if there were more.

Bright object travelling west to east then went vertical and lost sight within milliseconds

Maidenhead, WINDSOR · United Kingdom
The light moved slowly across the sky in a straight line but then disappeared from a bright star like object into nothing in a about 5 seconds. If moved across the sky for about a minute in a straight line, I thought it was just a plane but there were no flashing lights. There were no clouds in the sky and I could see the stars, but this was lower - the oddest thing was that it disappeared from a bright object into nothing after about 5 seconds. Very odd. If it was a satellite then I assume it would not disappear like it did, because it would move across the sky, but this was lower and brighter.

I see this object from my work Parking lot around 6:15. I have seen it in the sky since December 2021. It has a blue and pink hue to the lights. It moves very fast in videos that I have taken of it.

Larger Craft shape was typical disk-like and large. Cylinder shaped craft above at 11 o clock was brighter and moved from one spot to another at incredible speed but not far. The noise one or the other made was almost tornado like.

Green Mountain, NC
5:54am Woken up by a bright slow moving light reflecting from E facing window across bedroom wall. (That window is on a deck that drops aprox 3stories from lower rd) Beaming Light moved slowly, (as if meticulously observing) it disappeared as soon as I got up from bed and walked around the house searching for the source. I went back into the room and stopped moving while staring at the wall where I had seen the light, then it slowly came back on traveling the opposite way and disappeared as soon as I turned around to search for source. Feeling of being watched. That night, my dog was acting strange and anxious pacing back and forth from living room to the bedroom.

The first bright light appeared near the base and just south of Orion’s sword and travelled quickly upward about one and a half lengths of Orion’s sword and then disappeared. The second bright light appeared within 2- 4 seconds from the first and traveled on the exact same course, disappearing at the same location. The third bright light appeared 3 to 4 seconds after the second and traveled the exact same upward course disappearing in the same location. I saw 8 total bright lights travel this exact course within 1 minute, each disappearing before another arrived. In addition I saw 4 dimmer lights travel in the same upward direction, parallel to the 8 bright lights but just to the north and traveling slightly north of Orion’s sword and within the constellation. The dimmer lights traveled about the same distance before disappearing and all appeared on slightly different courses but all twelve lights traveled exactly parallel in course and for similar distance before disappearing. These were not satellites as I see those every clear night, traveling across the sky and not upward and certainly not in such quick succession on the exact same course. Also satellites appear dimmer unless the sun flashes them. But again I have never seen a satellite travel upward parallel to Orion’s sword, let alone 12 of them within a minute, 8 being very bright on the exact same course and 4 dimmer very close and parallel also traveling upward parallel to Orion’s stature and for similar duration. Also a falling star or meteorite travels in a downward, or sweeping downward direction. As I mentioned all twelve of these lights were traveling in an upward direction parallel to the constellation Orion.

My father and I saw the object in the sky while dropping off mail at the post office. The object was spectacularly bright in person. I used Sky Guide to see if it matched with any stars in the sky and it did not appear to match anything. I believe Sirius is the star visible at the beginning of the recording and the UAP is significantly brighter. I also used WolframAlpha and an air traffic app to check for any flights that would be visible overhead and none matched what we saw. We witnessed a single anomaly in the night sky. It appeared spherical and would best be described as a ball of light. It was so bright that it reminded me of the magnesium fire starter I used when I would go camping. It was not accompanied by any identifying sound. I recorded the object from the north end of the USPS parking lot while facing south (approximate (DMS) 33 29’ 35” N 117 39’ 55” W). I used my iPhone 12 Pro Max for the recording. The object was visible at the 0.5x, 1.0x, and 2.5x zoom levels available. The recording is short at just 35 seconds. Dad wanted to get home so that we could get a good nights rest for work the next day. At the end of the recording the object appears to move upward. The luminosity of the object witnessed was so bright and the size was so much larger than the stars visible that it stood out as an anomaly. The apparent sudden movement upwards at the end of the recording is also difficult to explain if it is not the result of high zoom and unsteady camera work. We saw it on the drive over and it was still visible as we drove away. I am reporting the duration as 35 seconds because that is the duration of my recording. My best guess to how long we were able to witness the anomaly is 3-5 minutes. It became obscured by the vehicle frame and surrounding structures as we drove away. On July 6,2022 at 2:57 PM a cop worker and I witnessed the computer at the station next to mine wake up its screen without anyone touching it and then begin to glitch. It looked more organized than any glitch I have ever seen. It reminded me of a spectrum analyzer display. I will include this footage with the hope you have a more mundane explanation for what caused the monitor (which was not in use though was not plugged in) to exhibit such behaviors. I am sharing this without sound because my go worker got a call and introduced himself.

Le témoin dépose en gendarmerie pour une observation de PAN faite, depuis son domicile du Thieulin (28), le 21 mars à 23h15, celle d’une étoile particulièrement brillante par rapport aux autres et évoluant de manière irrégulière,avec comme des sauts de puce, "un peu dans toutes les directions". Il ajoute avoir fait une nouvelle observation le 23 mars 2022 à 6h02, toujours dans la même direction mais plus haut sur l'horizon. L'enquête a conclu à l'observation de l’étoile Sirius, lors de la première observation et de l’étoile Arcturus lors de la seconde observation (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). Cette conclusion s’appuie sur les éléments suivants : - Apparence tout à fait conforme à celle d’une étoile (luminosité, couleur, aspect, pas de déplacement réel notoire) ce que le témoin a par ailleurs noté lui-même, en comparant le PAN à une étoile. - Présence avérée de ces étoiles au moment des observations . - Les élévations initiale et finale données par le témoin correspondent globalement bien à celles données par Stellarium (écart minime, quelques degrés pour Sirius et 14° pour Arcturus, entre les indications du témoin et les élévations réelles). - Les positions azimutales reproduites dans le croquis joint au PV sont conformes à celles des deux étoiles (observation vers le sud-ouest). L'étrangeté, pour le témoin, réside en : 1- L’apparence des PAN, observés essentiellement aux jumelles. Cette apparence, d'une forme se modifiant, présence de points lumineux et observation de diverses couleurs, est typique d’un phénomène de scintillation d’une étoile observée à basse élévation et soumise aux turbulences atmosphériques. 2- Le déplacement erratique des PAN, causé typiquement par un phénomène d’autocinétique. Il est probable que le manque de connaissances en astronomie du témoin ne lui ait pas permis de reconnaître ces étoiles et que les positions azimutales très proches des deux étoiles, lors des deux phases d’observation, l'aient induit en erreur en lui faisant penser qu’il pouvait s'agir du même phénomène. Classification en « A », observation de l’étoile Sirius lors la première observation et de l’étoile Arcturus lors de la seconde. [GEIPAN classification A — Sirius (étoile)]

Whilst driving I turned forward after looking at the roadside to spot a fast moving light in the sky for about a second. Was a very pale blue and pulsated slowly. Had no apparent variation in color/shape and had no effect or haze around it. Disappeared before being obstructed by trees.

Tahuya, WA
A bright large “star” appeared above the trees as we walk our dogs this evening. It was big, bright and relatively close, north of Tahuya by the Hood canal. We stop to look and it began zig zagging. Then went up and down very fast. Became stationary, the white silver color turned gold, becoming smaller and then shot into space in amazing speed. Disappeared. Beautiful!!!

While taking a walk around Mt. Olivet Cemetery, at the intersection of 58th Road and Brown Place, my boyfriend and I spotted 4 strange white lights in the sky that were moving around in unnatural directions and formations. The lights would go in and out of view, and as we were watching and attempting to identify them, we kept spotting more. Up to seven appeared in the sky at the same time, all hovering around each other in formations, while not seeming to be moving in any one particular predetermined direction. The lights blinked as they moved, in some of the photos we gathered they seemed to be circular, while in others they seemed to have a triangle shape, though they were too unnaturally high up in the air for the camera to capture the shape definitively. We called a friend of mine who was driving in the area, to see if she had seen anything; she also spotted these lights and described them in the same way. Twice we saw one of the white lights briefly blink to the color red before disappearing. There were airplanes that we also saw passing through the same vicinity, but much further down in the sky.

At 4:25AM the orange light will appear, every night in March 2022, off the coast, sometimes moving in from the left a little ways above the horizon. It comes to a stop, though over the next two hours it will move a bit to the left or right, and as the dawn approaches it will slowly rise, turning white as it rises, too bright to be a star. As morning comes it continues to rise, becoming a small white pinprick, yet still visible in the daylight. In addition, while still dark, there are two red lights the size of stars, one below to the right, and the other below to the left, and they all move together giving the impression they are all part of a triangular form. Also, far above to the left, and this is there prior to the appearance of the orange light at 4:25, there is what appears to be a sparkling star that will occasionally start moving around in circles, bouncing like a will-o-wisp. All of this, I have seen like clockwork for three weeks except when clouds obscure viewing.

Around 8:15 pm, March 18, 2022. Sun had set, last full moon of winter just peeking from horizon. In the country no light pollution, I seen a white bright round light coming from SW toward NE for approximately 4 minutes. Then made turn moving North and became brighter for 2 more minutes and suddenly vanished.

San Bernadino, CA
While I was driving to work I start to lights stationary above the San Bernardino Mountains. I was driving east on the 10. All of a sudden it became 3 and then four and then three and then two and it continues to do this in formation for at least 10 minutes. w I was driving to work. I took pictures and video but I couldn't see anything. I have an Android. I called my daughter while it was happening and told her what I was seeing. I will mention here that there were a few other shapes maybe three or four that were up in threw sky as well. Maybe cigar shaped. Like a thick line of white and all the same size and they were flat and they didn't move either but at the time I wasn't sure if it was just something natural but I definitely noticed that they all seem to be together.

Saw a bright white light that hovered in the air. Bright like a headlight, but only one light. Felt like it was pointed at me. Then it dimmed, went up slowly (like a drone would) and then disappeared. It admittedly could have been a drone but couldn’t see where it went. It practically vanished.
