El Paso, TX
It was late in the evening, maybe around 9pm. We were tending to our dog who had just been injured and out of nowhere a white light appeared in the eastern sky near the constellation Orion. I couldn't observe a shape, other than that it was brighter than any star or planet in the sky. It wasn't Venus, it was brighter even than that. The object was moving very fast, maybe moving 45 degrees across the sky in under a second. The sky was slightly cloudy and the object appeared to be in front of far away clouds. There was no sound other than the normal ambient sound of the environment. It moved in a straight line almost horizontally like a meteorite might but it seemed brighter and to move in a different direction than a meteorite would. Shortly after it moved around 45 degrees it disappeared and the light went away. I'm not sure about origin but it seemed to be moving faster than any object I've seen before

Large Siver Cigar Shaped object Walden VT 1964 In the spring of 1964 I was living with my mother, brother and my mother's female roommate. I was very young but remember the event vividly what I do remember of it. Our house was located in a rural Vermont community called Walden. The road I lived on had a railroad trestle and our house was gray. There was a dirt road that ran beside the house running around the property to another house where an elderly lady lived. One spring evening, I was walking down that road and saw a large silver cigar shaped but larger in the center object fly by right next to me in the field by the road. It was completely silent and very large. It was moving incredibly fast and almost floated by. As soon as the object passed, the next thing I remember is waking up in the barn on our property lying in the hay. I had no memory of how I got there and was awakened by my mother who had been looking for me for several hours. I didn't tell her about what I had seen or anyone else until now. I am in my 50's now and the memory of what happened has haunted me my entire life. I'm hoping someone else saw something around that time period, so I have some sort of confirmation. These would have been moving South toward Camp Passumpsic from about 20 miles N. Hardwick, Vermont 5/15/1964 10:15 3 Saucers seen flying in formation in a southern direction, sighting lasted about 5 minutes by 2 people... My room-mate and I were driving from Hardwick to Woodbury, through Woodbury Gulf. We were on our way to buy some worms and minnows to use for fishing, when we noticed three silver objects flying in formation parallel to us in a southward direction just on the other side of the hills East of us. As we followed the road which is very "curvey" we would lose sight of these objects and than see them again as the road changed. We heard nothing other than the sound of our car's engine. When we got to the bait shop in Woodbury, we asked the owner if he had heard or seen anything. He had not. We returned to Hardwick and asked a variety of people if they had heard or seen anything in the sky. They all scoffed at our story. I have never reported this to anyone except my family and friends primarily as both my friend and I were ashamed to admit that although we were riding in a convertable with the top down and had an 8MM movie camera under the front seat, neither of us remembered to use the camera. Vermont in those days and even today is not overflown by many aircraft and to see something in the Vermont sky is an "Event" Date is approximate. PD

Reykjavik (Iceland), CAPITAL · Iceland
It was a clear night over Reykjavik, I was looking out my hotel window looking at the horizon to see if I could catch the northern lights by chance. The first light came from the west- it was just a light like a bright clear twinkling light. It moved so rapidly left, right up and down. And suddenly 2 others joined it and they were aligned in a row of 3 moving in unison and then they just disappeared north. About 10 minutes later, another one appeared from the same direction. It moved the same way and disappeared in the northern direction. However again in the morning of 2/23/22 I saw the same object of light again at 5:45am. I tried to get my husband up to see it but it disappeared so quickly. We are not in a flight path from the airport. There were no other air crafts in the sky. The only difference is that the second time I saw the lone craft, it was very overcast and so it flew low. Both mornings the window was open and I didn’t hear anything like you would if a plane flew that low over head.

Berlin Township, PA
Light was very bright and flickering it looked sort of like a star. It twinkled consistently about 20 feet off the ground for about 5 minutes then moved diagonally up and to the right through a strip of land recently cleared of forestation. It hovered about 35 feet off the ground in the strip of land that no longer had trees (there is a significant tree line behind it, so it couldn't have been "something in the distance") then it just disappeared. It was a small object, but it was not a flashlight or a drone. It was creating its own light but it wasn't lighting up the area below it or around it. Total time of incidence was 20 minutes.

This light has only been visible within the last week or so. I drive 30 miles from home to work at 4:30 am until 5:15am. The unidentified object just stays in one position. No blinking lights like an aircraft, just a light.

Collinsville, IL
Driving on the highway south and saw a bright teal column of light come from the clouds and touch the ground from what appeared to be several miles south and slightly west, possibly Belleville, Illinois. It lit up the clouds that it came from bright teal but it was 20 degrees outside and not lightning or a spotlight. Continued to stare in the direction with the other witness and didn’t not see any evidence of a tower or spotlight. It came from above and touched the ground then seemed to disappear and not go back into the clouds. Did not see object in the cloud from which it could have come from.

Never heard of 2 Satellites moving in the same direction along side each other. Then they faded out. I watch the Space Station go over many nights during the year. These were the most unusual things I have ever seen!!! Not sure if they were lights or lit by the setting sun. If I only had a little more time I could have used my smartphone camera in video and photo modes.

I filed another report on the same light that I saw in Cumberland Virginia on the 14th, this was the exact same light but larger since I was closer, and in a different county. I had been in the field in Cumberland again, this time actively looking for the UFO, but saw nothing. Once it started to rain, I packed it in and went to drive home. Once I was pretty close to home, driving on Anderson highway in Powhatan, I saw the same orange light hovering over a neighborhood right next to the highway. I only saw it for a few seconds as I was driving by, but I saw it long enough to watch it descend into the neighborhood. I quickly turned around and entered to see if I could see it again, but couldn't. In both this report and my other report, I do not check the "The object landed" box, since I saw it descend below the tree line both times, but I have no actual proof that it landed. It's also worth mentioning, I think, that somebody online also posted a picture taken from Amherst Virginia a few days later of the exact same light. Amherst is only about an hour away from the locations where I sighted this light.

At first I thought what I was looking at was a plane but then I realized that it wasn’t moving, so I took out my phone to video. Once I started recording the object start to move (leave), and might I add the lights on it made it appear like it was spinning, because I was trying to zoom in on my phone you can’t see the motion very well, and it also looks like it’s farting around more than what I saw. the movement I saw was… it hovered for a bit then smoothly took off in the right direction and then I lost sight. That was it.

When on my way home from my job as a dispatcher, I turned onto Redbud rd in Frederick county and looked up at the sky and noticed 3 bright stars in the sky in a obtuse like formation. As I was looking at the stars 2 of them disappeared in front of my eyes.

Dahlonega, GA
I was out back before leaving for work and noticed a very bright white almost at times blue light in woods just behind our fence. It was approx 5 feet tall as if a light was reflecting from a flat tall mirror. The light had sort of a watery type moment similar to bright light reflected off water, was very odd. I was shocked while I was watching it trying to figure out what it could possibly be and was only able to video a few seconds of it as it slowly became dimmer. It's literally in the middle of the woods, no light source, no reflection possibly. I will try and upload the video clip. I am former infantryman and OIF veteran of 101st airborne so I've spent most my life in woods never seen anything like it. This is a follow up of incident we had yesterday I recently report my wife woke me up because she now witnessed it. I actually still have a text from this incident I went back and compared to and we saw the same thing. I tried to take screen shot of the video clip it's difficult to see its over the garden decoration windmill to the right. I also took screen shot of the text.

For the past month I've been driving out to Cumberland county, which neighbors mine (Powhatan) to stargaze. I found a nice, giant empty field in the middle of the county with no light pollution, and I lay on my car roof at night. On the 14th, I saw an orange light, larger than a star, suddenly appear. There was a thick cloud cover that night, so stars, planes, and satellites could not be seen. The light was consistent, no strobe, and it flew in a kind of wavy line for what looked from my position to be a couple hundred feet, then it just slowly descended. It was hard to tell if the object was moving in a straight line or if it was wavering. The oddest part was that there were animals in that direction that were freaking out, dogs, cows; I even heard a donkey braying.

I went to let my dog out at 2:13am in the morning, I kind of looked out at the distant to my right when I saw this bright star light object drop at maybe a 100-105 degree angle and then did a straight cut and just disappeared in a instance. I thought maybe it was a drone but I would hear it but this was very distant and literally happened in a matter of seconds. There was no trail. It was like if the Northstar fell then stopped then went in a horizontal line for about a few seconds then it was just gone with 0 trail or trace

This is a recurring sight. Sometimes there are many objects, sometimes just the one. This time was just one. When it’s just one, it’s always in the same area. It’s a VERY bright light that does not move. I see it when I’m at work; I work the overnight shift from 6pm-6 or 9am depending on the day. I’ve only noticed it a few times in the morning when it’s light out, but today was one of those times. Most of the time, it’s there for hours (there was a 3-4 month period where it was there 4 out of the 5 nights I worked from approximately 6:30pm to at least 3-4am). It stopped showing up in November 2021 but started showing back up last month, January 2022. I am a 48 year old female and have lived in the Seattle area my entire life, and my working background is mostly administrative in nature. I’ve seen a couple odd things in the sky before, but this has been a quite regular thing for the last year. So regular that I grew to expect seeing it on a nightly basis and was disappointed when it disappeared for those 2 months. I don’t know if you want this info, but I don’t get a bad or threatening feeling at all, even when there have been MANY of them (November 1, 2021 there were at least 20 that I could see).

My partner leaves for work around 4am most mornings. I moved to the living room and noticed the light shining through our big window was much too bright to be the average plane in the SDF flight path. Having been here a year, I have seen many planes on the SDF flight path go into and out if the city. This didn’t look quite like that. It had a large halo, almost like the ring that the moon gets on a misty night. The clouds were visible and moving behind the light. I checked my sky tracker to be sure it wasn’t a planet. It was not a planet. I chalked it up to being a plane, but it sat still for way too long to make sense as a plane, I went back to sleep after taking a few photos and it continuing to not move in the sky, but was unable to figure out what it was. We are on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Louisville Skyline and the highways. Without the leaves on the trees, our southbound view is pretty clear. Would be really interested to find out what would hover for that long and then be gone when I woke up again at 7am.

Somerset, KY
I was driving home after grabbing food taking a back road. I look up at saw a low hovering helicopter above my neighborhood and a plane fly right under it, to close to be a student pilot night flying. Plane does a loop of my neighborhood then flies towards down town. Helicopter is still hovering so I look for anything else in the sky. I see a pretty high up light, looks like a star, but it’s very plainly bright orange. I moved from the Nancy area, north, to the Burnside area of the sky, south. Immediately after I saw this the helicopter, still low altitude, fly towards Burnside. I get home and look up for anything else and the plane flew overhead. At such a low altitude still I could see that is was a student plane. Just a plane that someone who is learning to fly would use. A few other weird things the past nights leading up to this.

Barcelona (Spain), BARCELON · Spain
In the center of Barcelona, loking in the sky I saw a light like a satellite but suddenly brightened and disappeared, only to appear somewhere else in the sky. He has done it 5 times. I never saw anything like this and it's imposible for it to be a plane or a satellite. It appeared and disappeared like magic. It was impossible to make a video, the iphone don't catch the stars.
