2 light sources that did not correspond with my usual view of the sky. Appeared to be moving very slowly, almost imperceptibly from North to south roughly. Within 1-2 minutes of observation they disappeared, the first to disappear was the nearest (SOUTHERLY) a second later the other winked out. 1-2 minutes later, two jets flew over at 90° flightpath to one another over most the exact spot.

Springfield, PA
I was taking out the trash at work to the outside dumpsters of the building facing south towards the coastlines and if followed in a straight path, would my guess be, past Delaware. Potentially out in the ocean in the sky. It was a green light that just sat in the sky for about 3-5 minutes and could have been there longer than when I first stepped outside and saw it. I questioned if it were a plane at first but realized it was impossible because there was a plane in the sky pretty further east and I actually was able to compare the two. Once I had finished with the trash, and keeping a close eye on the green light, it had started to zip left and right. It obviously had no indication of being a plane or even some sort of radio or cell tower given it had started to move and was really high in the sky. Higher than any tower man would probably build. I just stared in amazement and astonishment because I’d never seen anything like it before. It zipped left and right and I could just tell it was probably all these weird directions that any flying object know to the public wouldn’t be a plane. Then it almost just rapidly descended downwards and disappeared. My guess is it was probably in the ocean off the coastline of Delaware and potentially a little bit further east than that sprightly. Not east enough to be past Philadelphia.

Contreras, NM
My wife and I were driving NB on I-25 near Contreras, NM. I noticed a white light at about 020 relative position from my direction of travel. It was at about 20 degrees above the horizon and above the mountains to the NE. I thought it to be a small plane, but there were no flashing lights, just a steady white light. I felt my windshield and distance might be why I saw no flashing lights. My wife noticed it about five minutes after I first saw it. She thought it might be an early evening star, but as she started asking me about it, it just vanished. We both felt it was very odd and we could still make out the mountains, so we know it didn’t go behind them. It seemed to bright and slow to have been a distant satellite, which we see a lot of from our home in Upper Michigan. It may be nothing, but it was odd enough for me to report, just in case there are other reports from this time period or a similar described sighting. I was driving, so I was unable to take a picture. It seemed normal up to the moment it disappeared.

Plains, MT
I was laying on my living room floor, something caught my eye in the window looked like a fire at first.i got my phone and took pictures and a video. The ball of light was twinkling kind looked like different colors but the whole cloud of smoke was twinkling.As I watched a bright light appears but not so clear on the left side,then a clear bright ball the stretched out like a long tick tac got brighter then dissappeared.and the another light not so clear on the right side then the light dissappeared.it might of even been another one from in the back cause it stayed lite up a little longer then it was gone.There were a free lights in the ski that showed up in the pictures and the video.,not sure if it is more ships or what it was.i have attached pictures and a video I'm sorry it is so shaky I was not sure what it was at least I got it on video and pictures of it.in the pictures when blowen way up it appears to be something in the picture with a head arms legs and maybe a tail. In the distance you can see what I think are more then one in the defined one you can see clear moves and it looks like the arms are wave n g or something. I expected to see something on the mountain from all the smoke but there was nothing maybe if I went there I would see something.but it's accrossed the Riverland my car is broken. But please I would like to know what I seen that night I have severe sightings almost every night in the sky's over this little area.its crazy.Seen alot of crazy thibgs in the skis as ufo, but not as crazy as seeing the moon rise a little over midnight never in my life but I have seen it four times now.hope to hear back from anyone's opinion of what this was and has anyone ever seen the moon rise email me at (deleted).

Walsenburg, CO
I opened our front door to let our dogs outside. I knew that it was there immediately as we live out in the country. **It's considered country as we do not have any close neighbors. We are fortunate to see the sunrise everyday so clearly; and on sunny days, the sky is simply beautiful. I make it a point to look just as soon as I let the dogs out. I am reiterating this as much as I can as I want to be clear that this anomalie is present whenever it chooses to be; and, not on a daily basis. This has multiple lights and is round in shape. This is my second report about this object. This not the only strange happenings in our sky. Around the same time that this anomalie is present in the sky, a strange "cloud ring" was visible around the moon. However; this ring was not one dimensional- more like 3 dimensional as the walls of this ring were "thick" and seemed to narrow as if it were a craft. I am not saying this was a saucer or UFO- this is yet another strange happening that one was able to see but not able to discern. We have pictures of this odd event as well. *** I wanted to add that I put my mailing address down in my last report. Tonight, I am using the physical address as this is where the sightings occur. I am asking to exorcise privacy in that I am a domestic abuse survivor with MS and I need to remain safe. Thank you; Please know that this is not for anything other than my husband and I having respect for the truth.

As we walked out of the house I noticed two big 1/2 sphere flashing white lights. Taking turns blinking apart then they moved close together and formed a disc UFO turning. The lights changed colors when they formed the UFO, orange and blue.

Driving on 54 West fwy saw a large golden orange light flash twice southbound before disappearing. 10x larger than other aircraft in the sky that night. It happened so fast but I saw it directly ahead of me lighting up the surrounding clouds. It looked like it was in a lower altitude than commercial aircraft but it was moving from north to south across the highway. Two bursts of light and then it disappeared. It was different from a flare or floating lantern as those would be visible for longer time.

Valrico, FL
Sharing this for a dear friend, On the morning of 2/2/22 at around 5:45 AM She was woken from sleep by a light bright enough to make her think some one turned on the light in the room. There was an object in the sky she immediately grabbed the phone and went outside to take photos, she also retrieved a camera and took a few more. The object was stationary and oriented to the east of her location. She observed for 10-15 minutes then went inside for a brief moment when she returned it was gone. Location is Valrico FL, in the Tampa area. there is an AFB base to the north the ocean to the west. She has witnessed Drones also and "dark" helicopters in her area before. appreciate any thoughts on this First four with cellphone, The others Nikon P1000. Zoom in on the small ones and you will see a very interesting object with a corona surrounding it. Looking for any information as to what this might have been. Thank you for you consideration in this matter

Aumsville, OR
While in bed I noticed a strange light just above the other homes rooftops in the neighborhood. It then split into 2 separate lights (amber in color). My wife and I were facing south as we watched, and they were headed north. The first ball maintained a constant direction and speed, while the other flight seemed more sporadic before matching the speed of the first. We opened the window thinking they were helicopters but no sound was emited. We watched them until they were over our roof. Next we ran downstairs to the front of the house to continue watching. We located the light immediately, still heading from south to north. The second light faded out as the original one continued on its path. Then a smaller light shot straight down and stopped just below the first light making a streak that faded quickly. In a clockwise motion the small ball rotated 90⁰ to the same level as the original and then shot back into the original ball. It continued to move north never changing in elevation or speed as it disappeared through the clouds. Camera footage was terrible when facing north due to bright house lights and streetlights. I am former military and have seen and been in military aircraft in combat and training, this is like nothing I've seen.

Le 31 janvier 2022, vers 20h45, le témoin observe un premier point lumineux dans le ciel, à assez haute altitude, à une vitesse plus importante qu'un avion « classique » et qui ne clignote pas. Il l’observe pendant près de 3-4 minutes, jusqu'au moment où celui-ci s'affaiblit comme s'il prenait de l'altitude, puis disparaît. Deux minutes plus tard environ, il observe un autre point ayant le même comportement. La consistance de ce cas est moyenne, avec un témoin unique et une absence de photo ou de vidéo des PAN. Dans le compte rendu d'enquête (voir le document joint) nous avons montré que le témoin avait probablement observé deux ballons festifs éclairés par des LED, se déplaçant portés par le vent. Cette conclusion s’appuie sur les éléments suivants : - Déplacement rectiligne globalement dans le sens du vent, mais dont l’orientation présente quelques différences avec les données fournies par le témoin. De nuit et sans repères, les azimuts initial et final de déplacement des PAN restent difficiles à estimer pour le témoin, ce qui explique cette différence. - Couleur blanche, commune pour de tels ballons et luminosité non variable, contrairement à celle de lanternes célestes. - Forme ponctuelle, la distance d’observation ne permettant pas de distinguer la forme réelle des ballons, qui sont de dimensions modestes. - Les ballons sont souvent lâchés par petits groupes. L’observation de deux individus à quelques minutes d’intervalle est tout à fait plausible. L’étrangeté perçue par le témoin est due à la perception d’une ascension des PANs et de leur vitesse élevée. Nous avons montré que la perception de la disparition des PANs pouvait donner cette impression d’une prise d’altitude et également qu’il était très difficile d’estimer une vitesse de nuit en l’absence de repères. Bien que généralement ce type de ballon soit lâché le week-end au printemps ou en été en extérieur, un lâcher ponctuel reste possible en semaine, à l’occasion d’une fête locale, familiale par exemple. Le GEIPAN classe le cas en « B » : observation de deux ballons de baudruche fantaisie équipés d’une lumière LED. [GEIPAN classification B — Ballon LED]

Our dog became agitated and barked as if there were someone outside or a car approaching. I took the dog out and noticed a very large light in the North, North west position. The light was slowly moving southward approx. 500 feet altitude while emitting no sound. I went to the house to alert my wife and she came outside to view it. When she saw it, she wondered if it was the moon shrouded in a mist. But, it was a clear night, with the starts all visible, and it wasn't the moon. We both witnessed the object slowly move to the West. The hazy light surrounding the object grew larger, and then it disappeared as we watched. We have many military transport aircraft near us and it did not resemble any of them nor did it flash any navigation lights or make any sound.

One light appeared suddenly on the other side of the pond when I and my friend were on while stargazing. The light caught me and my friends' full attention for about 5 to 6 seconds I would say. As the event occurred we both could not explain this happening in nature or from a man-made structure. The light seemed to dangle/dance moving up in down right next to the road that was very dark with some cars passing by. There is only one house right near where we saw the orange light and when it dipped down it might have touched the ground possibly being a ufo abduction.

While flying at FL 380, at 0055z I observed a round white donut and a lighted moving object within it. The observation lasted five minutes. Sky conditions at cruise altitude were clear with unlimited visibility. No moon illumination was present in the starlit sky. Winds aloft were 310/20 and my ground speed was 445 knots. There was a scattered undercast cloud layer with tops around 10,000 ft. The glowing object within the donut was slowing moving, and I do not attribute its movement to autokinesis. After five minutes of observation the lit object vanished and the white donut dissipated within a minute. One photo was taken.

Owasso, OK
Monday Jan 31 appx 6:50pm cst with clear skies. I walked outside and looked into the sky. To the North I noticed a point of white light high in the sky moving to the SSW. I assumed it was a satellite as I could not detect any flashing lights. I see lots of satellites. The only reason I took notice is that it seemed to be passing through a haze, like a fog or a wispy cloud. All of the other stars in the sky were crisp and clear. I thought that the “cloud” must be a rogue and the satellite would quickly pass through it and become “crisp and clear” as well. I was facing to the west and the object was high in the sky (maybe 15-20 degrees west of my zenith) and passed from my right to my left. It never escaped the haze. In fact as it got more overhead I could see that the “cloud” was in the form of a spiral around the object, a two-armed spiral with each arm curling away from the object on opposite sides. From end to end it took up maybe 20 degrees of the sky.The spiral cloud was not very thick but was definitely noticeable and undeniably in a spiral shape. The spiral cloud did NOT seem to be rotating in any way. It just moved along with the object. And if not for the hazy spiral the object and my sighting of it would have been nothing out of the ordinary. The object and the haze around it continued on it’s path until it moved into the city glow on my SSW horizon. When I first saw the object and realized it was something out of the ordinary so I ran back into the house and grabbed my phone/camera and called for my wife to come and see it. She has seen many satellites as well and she confirmed that the object did have the hazy spiral surrounding it. I tried to take a video of the object but my phone camera is not very good nor am I at using it.

we were outside letting the dogs do their business and saw a slow moving star like bright orb with one light moving slowly east through the sky toward mountain and not blinking. It continues slow and smooth. Watched for about ten seconds and the orb fizzled and changed to a reddish color and disappeared. No cloud clear night

I saw many red lights (8) similar to a star but closer to earth and they did flicker. In the sky on the east side of Audubon while I was driving. There was many cars behind me so I was trying to be safe. I thought it looked like a water tower because there is one further down on the south side. But clearly this was not . And I felt scared and thought these are UFOs. I pulled off into a neighborhood and they were disappearing quickly. And then all gone. I drove through the neighborhood with my niece on the phone and I saw 2 more on north side of town. I had my niece on FaceTime so she could see it. She said I see a red light. And then they were gone. I drove further to see if I could see them again but I didn’t see them again. It was all very fast . But I new it was nothing I have ever seen. They formed a disorganized triangle. That is why I thought it was some kind of structure. As of now I haven’t heard of anyone else seeing what I saw. Which is strange because it was in the busy part of town .

Webster city, IA
As we drove home to Fort Dodge Iowa from Webster city Iowa, i noticed what I initially thought was a star. But a star I'd never seen in the night sky before (I'm very familiar with the night sky as I've always wanted to be an astrophysicist or aerospace engineer). And as we drove, I realized that the object was moving slowly across the sky. The object was fairly large, and very, very bright. Bright enough to outshine all but maybe one star in the sky. I told my girlfriend to take a left, and go west down a gravel road. When she did, I told her to stop the car and see if I could get a video of the object. In the video, I held the camera still enough to be able to see it move across the sky. I was paying attention to my screen to ensure a good video, but then I realized I might get better quality if I taped it in the raw camera mode on my phone. So I had stopped the video, switched to raw, and pointed my phone back at the sky. To my surprise, the bright object had seemingly vanished from the sky. That's when I wondered, if maybe I had captured it disappearing on my initial video. When I went and watched, during the last maybe 4 or 5 seconds of the video, you can watch it completely vanish. Before I zoom out, you see it flicker slightly a few times, and when I zoom out, maybe a second before the video ends, you watch the light suddenly go dark, and the object dissappear from view. From what I have seen of satellites, this was way too bright, and was moving way too fast to be an ordinary satellite. I had looked up to see if there were any known comets (even though one that size would have a large tail), or maybe some other sort of astronomical event happening. But my search resulted in nothing but blanks. I didn't know who exactly I could tell, or show my video to. Then I saw an article, with a link to this site. So, I felt like I should tell my story with you all, and maybe even the public should you deem it as significant enough. In the photo I provided of the map, red is where we were stopped. Yellow is our where we had came from. And blue is the direction of travel of the object. I'm having issues with uploading my video, but would like to present it to someone. If there is and investigator that does decide to contact me, I could send it to him/her or anyone via email if that works better.

An amazingly large (or close to earth) object passed by, creating a white tail behind it. The entirety of it sparkled, and it was headed north, slightly northwest. In appearance it looked like a huge shooting star, but was distinctive in that it moved in slow-motion, was incredibly large, and was white with a thick tail that slowly dissipated as it moved. It was quite the sight. It is certainly not a STARLINK satellite, nor an International Space Station, nor was there any natural phenomenon slated for tonight.

This was caught on my surveillance camera. My two dogs woke me up barking at something and they do not ever bark. I knew something was going on I looked at my surveillance and I did not see that at first instead it was weird. It's hard to explain without seeming like I'm crazy. I am sending you the original surveillance & one I blew up and zoomed in on it

Saw a UFO sighting this time it was closer and higher up in the air. around 5am I abruptly woke up which I normally do not and went to the balcony (beachfront) and saw UFO with lights flashing and hovering in the same spot. after 30-40 minutes it started to disappear very quickly further out into the ocean. This was the second sighting the first one which was a few days prior had flashing lights white and a one red light and it appeared to be hovering over the ocean (NOT A SHIP) this was a night also.
