Red orange orb around 25,000 ft coming from the north, sped up and turned towards the east and kept going . The object didn't have navigation lights and emitted zero sound , it stayed the same color the entire time and maintained the same elevation and speed. In the video I tried to signal it with a strobe flashlight, no response. Flight radar screen shot showed no aircraft in the area .

Orb in the sky looked like a turning ball of light. It went back and forth and closer and then farther away. I recorded it with my cellphone and noticed that when it came closer it seemed to interfere with my cellphone making a weird static sound (which I didn’t hear with my ears at time of filming) and then the sound and orb just disappeared.

Camp atterbury Indiana May 14 2021 A white orb floated over me and seemed to take its time to where it was going you can clearly see a plane in the distance in a Side by side comparison I had my truck on so you can hear the background noise but when it was over me it was completely silent and made no dramatic turns just stayed straight there were no satellites in the area accordingly to my satellite apps camp atterbury is a national guard base supposedly these sighting happen all the time out here I just happened to be getting off work

My mother and I were sitting outside enjoying a beautiful day. It was pleasant for Texas and partially cloudy so we got to take advantage of my lounge chairs that lean all the way back. Since we had some clouds you could see very clearly into the sky because there wasn't blinding sunlight. It was around 2 in the afternoon. I watch the flight paths of planes coming into Bush International Airport regularly and enjoy monitoring jets, birds, whatever. I had been watching the birds when a black object caught my eye. It was moving in a straight line (unlike birds). It was also too high for birds. Just skirting the low lying cloud bottoms. It appeared to be round and black. No wings. No contrails (wasn't high enough for that anyway). It almost looked like a black basketball but considering how high it was, it had to be decent sized. Someone would have to do the math but I guess it would be the size of a smart car? It was moving at a good clip but not blinding spee! d. It slowed for a second and then returned to full speed. Very straight perfect line. I alerted my Mom and started to point and that's about the time it disappeared behind some branches on our magnolia. She sorta laughed thinking I was being silly. I went inside to get a cup of coffee. When I came back out my mom was standing and staring in the direction I originally saw the ball. She said "You aren't going to believe this but I just saw it." Same situation, it had just disappeared in that same area going southeast towards Lake Houston and the Eastgate/Huffman area. It seemed to be coming at regular intervals and sticking with the same heading, speed and altitude. I have no way of knowing if it was the same object or three different ones. It came along one more time, we both saw it and I grabbed my cell phone but couldn't get it on the viewfinder. Shortly after the last sighting a Chinook looking military helicopter flew by at 2:23. I did get that on video. It fl! ew right over our street and was heading south. It was not a b! ird. It had no wings. It didn't make any sound that we could hear. It was in broad daylight and the sun was slightly behind us. We were not blinded and had a perfect view.

I took my dog out to go potty. When I opened the door there was a huge perfect bright gold ball like object. It was very low, almost like just above the tree lines on the other Mesa to the north. It moved very slow and in a perfect straight line. No blinking lights or any kind of movement. Just slowly moving in straight line from West to the East. I moved further outside to watch it and it slowly moved in that perfect straight line and then poof and it was gone. My dog was being weird and waits for me to call her in but when she was done she ran into the house. And in the morning she refused to go outside at 6:00 am her normal time for 10+ yrs. later today she keeps barking towards the same area. There is now why it was a satalite satellite cuz it was so low and so big. Very strange and no noise either. Of course I did not bring my phone with cuz it was so early

On May 11, 2021 at 10:00 pm, I stepped out on my back porch for a second. I looked up and over the two story house facing west behind mine because something caught my eye. I saw two pulsating, glowing orange stationary spheres, one a bit lower than the other, as if they were floating. I watched for about fifteen seconds and then looked away to call my husband to come immediately. When I looked back they were gone. They made no sound at all. When my husband got outside I told him what I had seen. We waited about eight minutes and they reappeared again, but they were across Hwy 701 South and there were five of the orange spheres. One of these spheres then darted from right to left towards another one at a very high rate of speed and stopped just as quickly without touching the other sphere. On a clock the movement would have been from two to eight o'clock. No sound. Not pulsating or stationary and then disappeared. Within minutes a low flying plane flew over w! ith bright white landing lights on heading west to east towards Myrtle Beach International Airport. FAA tower supervisor was not able to tell me if any radio traffic confirmed my sighting. Will file a freedom of information application with the FAA. This occurred near a power company solar farm and high voltage power lines.

Terre Haute (just E of; on Interstate 70), IN
I had dropped a friend at the Indianapolis airport and was driving back to my home in Watson, IL. I was traveling west on Interstate 70 and was approaching Terre Haute, Indiana. I suddenly noticed a white, roundish object in the sky ahead. It was almost like it was out of focus because it didn't seem clear. I was wearing sunglasses, so I quickly took them off because I thought I would be able to see it better. It actually made it less clear though. My sunglasses were polarized so for whatever reason, the polarization of the glasses made it clearer. I put them back on and watched the object for maybe 30 seconds or so as I drove. It wasn't clear to me though, almost like it was hazy or out of focus or something. As I was watching it, it suddenly blinked out of existence!! I put the time I saw it at 6pm, but it could've been anywhere between 5-7pm. I can't remember exactly when I dropped my friend at the airport, but it was definitely in the evening before it got dark or even before the sun was noticeably going down.

My home security camera captured two spheres of light hovering around. It appeared as if they were aware of each other. Then the biggest sphere released a much smaller sphere, and all 3 appeared to hover in respect to each other.

My wife and I were camping at Bothe-Napa, sitting around the campfire looking up at the stars off and on. The sky was very clear, and through the tree openings we first spotted a row of orbs (same size as a singular satellite you would see cruising by). There were 8 orbs on the first pass, equally distanced apart from each other moving at the exact same speed from left to right, about 6 to 7 seconds apart from each other. After the 8 orbs passed and brief moment went by before another another row of orbs began traveling along the same path. Each equally distanced from each other and moving at the same speed. We counted 49 orbs in this group. There were many trees so we could not see beginning or end of their travel (this info will come into play later). After another brief moment a third group of orbs appeared only this time they were traveling perfectly perpendicular to the previous groups. Again, each equally distanced and moving at the same speed. At this point I decided I would walk into the road/parking lot area to try and get a better look away from the trees. I asked our camp neighbor if he was seeing them as well. I pointed up and he said yes and took out his phone to record a video, but cell phones are just not powerful enough to see lights in the dark night sky. He said he couldn’t see it on his phone. He seemed much less impressed than myself about what we were seeing and went back to cleaning dishes. Now here is where it gets interesting…As I followed the trail of traveling orbs I noticed that they did not follow the horizon and disappear as a satellite would. Rather, they travelled in a perfectly straight pathway out of the atmosphere, disappearing from sight as they got far enough away. It was something I had never seen before, like something you would see in a sci-fi movie. There were 59 orbs traveling on the third perpendicular run. All in all 116 total orbs spotted by the naked eye. It by far the most unexplainable, bizarre, yet interesting thing I have ever seen. I would be interested to know if others saw what we saw that night.

On May 7 my dad was outside as he normally gets up to look around at night. He went by my window and called me out to “look at these weird stars”. We always tend observe the sky to see if we see something odd, this time he did. He then showed me what he was looking at and described the lights as “moving stars going in a circle”. I began to notice it was about 3 circular lights that kept moving at a right upward angle across the sky. As we kept watching, the lights had seemed to move at a further distance but you can the were all aligned to a vertical angle. No matter what direction the objects went, they maintained aligned. The lights in the video are shown coming from the left side of the screen next to the palm tree. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

Hello, I was out walking my dog the other week around 11:00 pm and saw something curious. I saw three stars in the sky and thought it was Orion's belt, but then noticed that were slowly moving southbound towards Lake Ontario. The three orbs (they just looked like stars, they were very distant) moved along at a constant pace, southbound. Then I noticed another orb appear on the north end of the line, also moving southbound. More orbs started appearing in this fashion in a straight line, steadily moving southbound. When the line was about 5 orbs long, the southmost one would disappear. Approximately 7-10 orbs appeared and travelled along this route until they faded from the sky one by one reaching the "end" of the line . Nothing crazy, just thought it seemed curious and I didn't know what they could be.

Looking towards the west sky, I saw several oval shaped glowing vessels in kind of a line. They were not making any sound but seemed close enough that they could have been heard.

I looked up into the night sky to view the little dipper and I saw multiple round bright moving objects moving from left to right in a straight line. i viewed them until i couldn't see them anymore. there was no vapor streak, or sound. they were not planes. they were all moving at the same speed in a straight line.

Moab, UT
I was filming the sunset using a drone at approximately 200 feet elevation near Moab, Utah. From the ground I saw what appeared to be a large metal basketball fly past my drone, I turned to watch it fly over the horizon within a few seconds, noting this as the setting sun made the object reflect as if metal as it flew away from me. Upon reviewing my video I noticed I captured two of these objects, the second following a little lower in elevation but at the same speed and trajectory as the first. Both seem to emerge from over rocks on the horizon and fly past the camera. I was filming in 4K resolution at 30fps, so I could slow the footage down to 24fps and before the objects get too close the spherical shape and reflections can be seen. Once they get too close the motion blur gets too intense as they pass by, showcasing the speed. I have included one of these objects in a detailed video I’ve attached, the second object is not showcased in this attached video but looks similar, just further away. I would be happy to provide the unedited original file.

On 5/5/2021 my wife and I witnessed flying objects in the sky. They were white and circular flying in a linear pattern flying at high speeds. 30 or so of them became in view of the naked eye one by one and were all gone in a matter of 5 minutes. They had to be flying at high speeds to disappear so quickly. My wife and I have never seen anything like it. I typically see satellites orbiting the earth, but nothing compares to what we witnessed last night. I have a background in finance, while my wife is a registered nurse.

Henet, CA
At about 8:50 pm, I looked slightly to the west, almost directly overhead and saw a long string of little round lights in a perfect line moving north/northeast. They were going at least three times the speed of typical airplanes we see flying over us. The flight path of passenger jets is always from west to east I counted 30 of them, all in a perfectly straight line about 2 degrees apart from each other. That means that the total angle from the first one to the last one was about 60 degrees of angle flying across the sky. There might have been more, but when I spotted them, the first one was getting low on the horizon and was fairly dim.

Oregon City, OR
Around 4:30 AM I went to walk the dog.After sometime I looked up to see if I could find any Aquarid meteors. Instead I saw small orbs of light in a row, about 10 the first group flying by following each other, west to east. No apparent sound. A little while later another group, larger the the first, probably 20-30 flew over. All in a row, except for 3 that formed a triangle as the flew by. Not sure if satellites travel like this in a sort of beaded string and I thought meteors looked like they were falling and emitted a trail of light These definitely looked like they were going somewhere and there was no light trail.I wanted to take a video but didn't think my phone camera could pick it up well. They were very small orbs of light in the sky.

Brandon, MS
Greetings, I’m an automation specialist and have been working in the field of electronic technology for over 50 years. I am 70 years old. I have seen a few odd things in the sky in my life but this was the most unusual and unexplained. I’m reporting this recent sighting because I have seen nothing about it on any news outlet. I was so shocked by what I saw that I thought it would be global news. This is my account of what I saw in the sky on May 3, 2021 in Brandon, Ms. I was outside in the early evening working on a new front porch addition. I noticed that it was 7:30 pm and looked up to the sky as I was sitting down to see if I could see bats flying overhead. I had noticed bats coming out to eat insects the evening before at that same time and wanted to see if they were out again and they were. As I was looking to the north, I saw a very bright object. I thought maybe it was Venus because it was so bright and big but it was in the wrong place and this object had an odd flare coming out of one side of it almost like a comet trail but very short. It sort of looked like what you would see if you threw paint ball on a flat surface and it splattered a bit in one direction– round with a few rays and a bit smudged. When I noticed the flare, I ran inside to get my binoculars and lost a minute or two looking. All I could fine was my oversize pair so I grab them and went back outside. The object was still there and had grown larger but the flare was gone. I tried to focus on it. My binoculars are very large and hard to handle without a mount but I was able to focus on it and I was shocked into disbelief. I had no idea what I was looking at. It looked like miniature moon about 3 or 4 time the size of Venus as observed from earth and just as bright. It was bright silver with shaded areas and absolutely round. There was not another light in the sky – no stars, no planets and the sky was still filled with light from the sun as it was setting. There was a storm rolling in, a tornado watch and the sky was a bit hazy. I doubt that there were many people in my area outside looking up at the time. I put the binoculars down and picked up my phone to bring up my astronomy app to see if I could identify what it was that I was seeing. As I was fiddling with my phone to bring up the app ( I have to take my case off because it has a magnet on it and that destroys the accuracy of the compass and it doesn’t work for positioning) the object started dimming and shrinking in size as if it was now heading away from my perspective. When I saw it dim, I knew the app wouldn’t recognize this strange object because it was nothing normal about it. I decided to try to get a picture of it before it was gone and I did snap a few pictures before it disappeared but the contrast between the object and the sky was low for a camera because it was still pretty much daylight. I accidentally took 2 one second videos and they came out better than the pictures. I put the phone down and watched the object as it narrowed down to a point of light and vanished. When the object was heading away it remained perfectly round as shrunk in size and brightness. In the two short videos you can see the effect of the atmosphere as it distorts the shape of the object. I am an amateur astronomer and I am very familiar with atmospheric distortion and the distortion I see in the videos tells me the object was above our atmosphere. I wish I could have gotten some photos of it when I first saw it because it was much bigger plus it had a flare at first but I was stunned and was kind of wondering if this was doomsday. My first thought when I saw the object in my binoculars was that something huge was about to hit earth unannounced. It looked like a rouge moon headed directly for us. When it started moving away, I felt relief as it shrunk in size. I knew that it must be traveling at an extreme speed the way it disappeared. The whole event lasted about 5 minutes. The object pretty much stayed in the same location in the sky and did not jump or dart around. I didn’t see it come into view – it was just there when I looked up and it only moved a little in position when it took off. There was no sound, no flashing light and the only colors I saw was sliver and gray. Since it was hazy during the observation, I have to question the detail that I saw on the object. I now assume that maybe I was seeing cloud vapor super imposed on the object and that vapor gave it the darker areas in the disk I viewed that resembled the terrain of the moon. Now my question is – Did anybody else see this object? My guess was that it was an asteroid making a very close fly-by but the news and the astronomy groups are saying nothing about it. It’s seems impossible that no one else noticed it. It’s a complete mystery to me.

7 pill sphere shaped white objects flew across the sky with odd darting movements in some kind of formation flight. They made no sound and moved vary quickly. I attempted to film with my phone . Each time I selected video and hit red record my phone closed back to the home screen. I attempted two times to film and each time my phone bounced to home screen. As they flew they all of the sudden in open blue sky they seemed to pop and disappeared. Meaning they bulged and then disappeared. No sounds the entire time. The whole things could not have been more than 10 seconds of flight across the whole sky and then gone. Never seen anything like this in my life.

While working to day I looked up in the sky at the clouds and saw a bright flashing white light. The thing hovered in place as the clouds blew right past it and the winds were high. The object then moved from west to east not very far and very slowly. Wasn’t a helicopter because it was way too high wasn’t a drone because drones don’t hold up in the wind like that and obviously wasn’t a plane. The object stayed still for another 5 minutes before turning 90 degrees north and slowly moving off before jetting off at what seemed like light speed and was gone. The object flashed lights on and off in the middle of the day so it couldn’t have been a reflection. I have a 30 second video of the object hovering in place and flashing lights. My co workers and I witnessed the object for 10 or more minutes. I have a great clear video of the object.
