I was Walking my dog and I looked up and saw a blueish sphere the size of the north star but it became about 20 times that size and disappeared. It only lasted around 5 to 10 seconds was like and explosion or a camera flash is the best way I can describe it. It was also very close as in not like looking at a star or something in space but more like a plane.

Three adults witnessed an orb-like object in the night sky. Sky was mostly clear, with a few faint clouds. Bright starlight. Orb appeared seemingly out of nowhere as a fast-moving object moving more or less horizontally across the landscape, pretty close to the tree line. From our vantage point the orb appeared from the direction of the star Sirius and travelled east to west. Orb appeared to be black or translucent (night sky was dark) with a white-ish circular outline. A “fire tail” appeared off the backside, looked mostly white/orange/red, as it moves through the sky. Like a tail. After zipping across the sky, the orb stopped instantly and hovered for 3-5 seconds. Then either disappeared instantly or zoomed away parallel to our point of reference so quickly it appeared to disappear? Total event was 15-25 seconds.

I saw a large pulsing orb in the distance above a forest. It was very bright, and lasted a few seconds. Then it disappeared.

Around 5:30 am, I saw a shimmering light hovering in the early morning sky. Earlier this month, I witnessed the same shimmering, hovering light behaving the exact same way, in a different location near my neighborhood. The light orb glittered and would starburst so bright it almost appeared to change shape. It was a swirling ball of white and orange. i watched it through the trees for about 5 minutes until I walked further into the road to get a better look. I lost sight of it, and upon returning to my original vantage point, it had disappeared. (within 30 seconds) The light I saw earlier this month appeared to be above a swampy pond. This time, based on my positioning, I surmise it was hovering very low above Oneida Lake, a large body of water roughly 2 miles from where i live.

My bedroom is where I can easily see the moon. Before I went to bed around 11:40 pm, I noticed the moon was high in the sky and very bright. (Just a ritual of mine to look for the moon before closing my bedroom curtains up on the 22nd floor. There was nothing unususl about the moon: bright white, where it should be at that time of night, etc. I went to bed. At 4:20 a.m., I was awake because my spouse was snoring loudly. As well, Finnegan (my cat) was being very loud, knocking some things over loudly outside our bedroom, near the living room. I felt angry with my spouse (who had been intending to get his CPAP machine, but had been neglecting it), and I was annoyed with my cat, who was acting so strange and being even clumsier than he usually is. I just got right up, to feed the cat (again), hoping this would calm Finnegan down some—and also to sleep on the chaise lounge in the family room (away from snoring husband). Because he'd not picked up his CPAP machine, I was rather accustomed to sleeping in the other room: I'd arranged a tall room divider around the chaise lounge to block out the early-morning light when I'd retreat there to sleep there once every two or three nights. My husband had moved the room divider that day, & I noticed it would not block the sun from the closest window when it rose in just a couple hours. As I looked over at the window to confirm this, before repositioning the room divider, I was very confused because at first, it seemed there was almost a large harvest moon (though not perfectly round & higher in the sky—and impossible, as I'd seen the normal moon earlier, and the moon NEVER is seem in that direction/area.) This glowing, orange orb was in the distance adjacent (just to the right of) the top of one of those red-lit (radio?) towers. I walked to the window and couldn't believe my eyes. Then, I grabbed my iPad to take a picture of it through the window. As I snapped a couple pictures, I imagined showing my older son and my spouse the next day and them saying, "Must have been a reflection or something." So, I walked to our large balcony on the 22nd floor to capture it on my device. Right before I stepped outside, I became afraid/spooked and thought, "Am I really going to step out here in the dark with no cars or anyone, anywhere—with this inexplicable orb out there?! What a perfect opportunity to be freaking abducted!" So, I just opened the door a bit to get the picture— didn't step out at first.. Once I'd opened the door, though, my fear mostly disappeared, and I simply stepped right out, I just felt a sense of awe, and a sort of happiness about the amazing nature of our universe. (I'm not a sky watcher or anything—and trips to, say, planetariums don't really interest me much, and I just find all the stuff about just regular SPACE spooky, so that whole "amazement-instead-of-fear. thing was a bit odd.) I stood outside far longer then I'd intended, just captivated by this orb. My *expected* "normal" reaction to such a thing would be: sustained fear, running to wake my spouse and kids to see this thing, taking some melatonin to calm my anxiety, etc. But so strangely, I just suddenly felt so calm & SLEEPY [moments before, I assumed it'd take me an hour to get to sleep because I was so angry that my spouse didn't care enough about my ability to sleep to get his freaking CPAP, and I was irritated with my bizarrely nutty cat. So, the sudden calm, sleepiness thing doesn't make ANY sense. Have you ever have surgery, and you're nervous, and the anesthesiologist tells you everything will be totally fine and says, "Count backward from 10," and right when you get to 9 or 8, you feel SO (thankfully) calm and relaxed? It was sort of like that, but more protracted. Anyhow, the orb seemed to change very subtly in position and appearance, but not in any odd or even really perceptible/obvious way. It mostly seemed to hover and emit a lovely, peaceful orange glow. It didn't fall or descend swiftly, or ascend while I was observing. I remember thinking, before I went back inside to sleep immediately, on the lounge-thing, "Whoever's in that thing or controlling it from afar—they're just interested in what's going on here. And it was nice they waited until there's usually not a person awake to get panicked—they're not bothering anyone at all." It didn't seem strange to me at the time that I was so chilled out. [By the way, I do not drink [a glass of wine makes me nauseated] or use any intoxicating substances—never been one to crave it. As well, I do not have visual hallucinations or vision problems. Plus, I'd always been very skeptical about reports of UFOs & non-human-animal sentient life forms, etc.] Anyway, I was so sleepy by the time I started to walk in that, when I got to the balcony door, I turned to take one last picture, but as I was closing the balcony door, I noticed the last "picture" wasn't a picture–I'd accidentally pushed the "video" button—NO CLUE WHY I DID NOT *INTENTIONALLY* TAKE A VIDEO—just this quick, accidental video. No clue why I didn't stay around until the thing disappeared, videotaping the entire time. So, my sudden calm sleepiness actually, later, I interpreted as influenced somehow by the orb or sentient beings associated with it. This is especially the case, as well because I never have "happy dreams at night." Now and then I have bad dreams/nightmares, but I couldn't recall the last time I had a happy dream. When I immediately fell asleep back inside, the entire time I slept I had the happiest dream I can recall. It was simple: o being out with some very fun/funny friends, just hanging out, having a great time. laughing a lot. Another extremely strange thing about this is that after I woke, I didn't even RECALL the orb or ANYTHING the ENTIRE DAY. The following night, I did my usual, normal thing of looking out at the phase of the moon before bed. THEN, I suddenly remembered, grabbed my iPad, showed the pictures to my spouse, who (a scientist) said, "That is amazing! That CAN'T be anything from this world at this time." He usually can't stay awake past midnight, but he stayed awake a long time, urging me to report this, etc. I called, on (I think) the night of February 23, 2021 [late at night] the hotline associated with this site. A nice gentleman answered. I apologized for calling late—I thought I'd get voice mail. He was very interested and asked me to send the pictures and video I took, to him via email, which I did, I also included a written description of all this in my email because, for at least two nights, the site's form section was down. Tonight, I found the site again but saw my emailed report had not been posted, so I'm just posting it now. All my immediate family members have looked at the pictures and short video and have agreed that this thing isn't and "normal"or "Earthly." My older son was HIGHLY spooked out by it, as he sees the area right from his main bedroom window and just cannot think of any explanation (though he would have been said, "Mama, you're just crazy sometimes," had I not taken the pictures, etc,). He avoids discussion of anything about it, but he doesn't worry actively. My younger kiddo is really fascinated. This all occurred on the eve of a difficult birthday for me. *On* my birthday, February 24, I looked at Youtube with my younger son to see if others had reported (& taken better video) of such orbs–they had! And one of the very first comments I read was from a guy who explained he saw basically what I saw, *also on the eve of HIS birthday, and that he had the same thoughts and feelings I did!* EVERY NIGHT since, I've checked outside, hoping to again see this beautiful orb. It hasn't returned. My birthday is approaching again, so I got a new tripod and set up my telescope, just in case whoever or whatever is responsible for the orb is back in my area at that time of year. By the way, to verify this, I want to point out that I did publiclybask community members on an Arlington

Place sighted and where we were. The still pictures and video were taken from - Hollywood Beach CA. at the intersection of Los Feliz Ave. and Sunset Lane View: Looking out toward Anacapa Island (in the Channel Islands chain)- Aircraft 'appeared' to be flying between Anacapa (which is 7 miles from the mainland from Hollywood Beach). What we saw: Five extremely bright lights moving (flying ?) in a circular flight pattern which defied normal aircraft flight patterns and maneuvering (to include helicopters). The leader would disappear and circle around to come back in the picture frame on the right. The four kept equal separation/distance apart from one another. The leader would reappear from the right to rejoin the four. Appeared to be helicopters with bright lights when I zoomed in on one of the still pictures- also when the video is run in slow motion. I've never seen anything like it before during my days of flying Huey's in the Corps and having a commercial pilots license (helicopter and fixed wing). Night formation flying is difficult- as you know- especially when the lead appears to shut off its light(s) and makes a fast turn to the right and returns to the formation on the right of the picture. Remarkable!

Boynton Beach, FL
It's nighttime in Boynton beach Florida and while just driving home I saw a solid bright green, solid dot object moving much much faster than a plane. There were no flashing lights and its color was very bright green. I first saw the object maybe 15 miles away?? I think it was coming from the northwest to the southeast. It Definitely wasn't a fireball. It couldn't have been a handheld drone because the object was MILES away from where I first saw it, until I lost sight. It definitely didn't fly on a path. It changed direction and appeared to go higher and lower compared to its flight pattern. There's an airport for only private planes in Boca Raton. The object may have been moving towards it, but it definitely wasn't a plane. I see private planes overhead all the time and can judge the speed of one. This object was RACING and maybe a little erratically at times. I know when planes are closer to you they appear faster but it just wasn't a plane. I'm about 20 miles from Palm Beach airport but the object wasn't anywhere near there. Nor was it coming or going in that direction. Can't believe I'm actually doing this but I'd love to know if anyone else saw it what I saw. I am absolutely aware that I was always curious about about ufos and have always looked as an amateur but I have never seen something like what I saw. Surely haven't seen something like it enough to take 15 minutes to report it.

I was the passenger in a car. After seeing and looking up at the trail of an airplane fuel thing, my eye was caught by a quick flash to the left of the trail. This flash occured twice before I could concentrate on it, I moved around in my seat just to make sure it wasn't glare from the windshield, and it moved extremely abrubtly towards the fuel trail. I asked my dad if he could see it, and it flashed again a few times before moving what seemed like furher away but same elevation. He looked around and didn't see it fully, but did notice the last flash. The flashes were very much like that you would see if someone far away was turning a mirror at the sun and pointing it quickly at your eyes. It was up too high for it to be a reflective satellite dish, farming structures, radio/cell towers. There are no mountains or anything either. We continued up the road, a straight road, and I kept my eyes locked on it, and suddenly wuth the last flash it was gone. There was an airplane far off to tge right of my vision, and there was 100% absolutely something in the air watching it or following it or investigating the trail.

Just wondering, but out towards Scottsbluff there’s a noticeably bright, ultra bright, light. Being this is late, I don’t believe this is a planet setting on the horizon. Doesn’t appear to be a meteor, because it’s not moving. Maybe space debris reentering from orbit, but would it just hang like that? A weapon launch, or a flare, or some kind of denotation? Too big to be a flare. Anyway, my husband says it’s the brightest landing lights he’s ever seen.

Hyannis, NE
After picking up the electrical contractor, we were heading westbound along RT 2. I’d say that we were about 30 miles west of Hyannis. Local time was approximately 6:30 AM, just a little before sunrise. Ahead, somewhat ahead of the headlights, there was something straddling the middle of the highway, which I originally took to be wildlife. I was sure it had to be wildlife, only as we got closer it became apparent that this was a ball, a metallic gun metal gray ball. More of a half-dome shape, which sat on several legs. I couldn’t tell just how many legs because there were all these connecting rods that ran between the legs. So the ball, this half-dome sphere, it was at least 5’ around, and up near the top, maybe a quarter of the way down from the top, was a red light that ran from side to side. Not very big, more like a diode, it started on the left and ran to the right, then back toward the center, where it stopped, before going back to the left side. I slo! wed down, and that’s when this thing lifted up. The dome sat about 4’ off the ground, on the legs, and when the thing rose it drifted toward the left, as if it were caught in the wind. It continued like that, gaining altitude as it moved to the left, which was toward the south. There were three of us, one in the back of the cab, and then the contractor, who sat to my right, and we watched the thing as it took off like that, and after a moment the contractor said, “what the fuck.”

Blinded, I drove the darn car off the road. Using my left hand, I attempted to shield myself. Raised the hand in front of my face, and could clearly see the bones, fingers, wrist, part of the forearm. So I hit the goddamn brake, and slid onto the shoulder. Only, before I could determine what was going on, the light, the most intense thing I’ve ever witnessed.... I mean just a total white-out, asphalt, trees, everything evaporated in front of me, and then the damn thing goes out. So I couldn’t get the gear into park fast enough, and then, using my left shoulder, pushed against the driver’s door, and managed to step from the car, and that’s when I looked up; and this was after dark, skies were cloudy, the temperature below zero, -11 Fahrenheit, and there is this goddamn ball, circular ball, and it’s five or six hundred feet in diameter. I suppose this thing was about nine hundred feet, hung up above me, like a Christmas ornament, and dark as night, in silhouette, and a couple of rows of lights, dim yellow lights, around the middle. As far as I could tell, it didn’t make a sound. Now I’m thinking that no one is going to believe me, but someone up there sure as hell is looking over the place.

I was having my coffee out front when the back of the house lit up it was just above the roof line I walked over to the side of the house to get a better view; with my coffee in one hand cig in the other. My dog with me I was blinded almost by the light. One right after another coming right at me turning toward the grand wash cliffs. I tried to look around to see where they where coming from ? Nowhere like a big circle rainbow kind of colors. One right after the other. I counted in seconds how long it took from where they entered to the cliffs( it is about 10 miles) it took each craft 6 seconds. But they changed as they would approach the cliffs red lights some 1 -2-3 .they went up to clear the cliffs and it appeared they All Stopped .? They didn't go higher !! Now I realized they where in a straight line toward the airport Grand canyon west( which is about another five miles ) . I counted over fifty and they where still coming. This went on for another 15 minutes. The last one .then the circle closed ( disappeared) I stood there in amazement. I was going to call 911. " because I thought we where being invaded. I decided not. Instead I called the airport and asked if they could see them " they said No"?? So I realized they stopped at the top of the cliffs & went No further!!. The very next morning at the exact time. I was out front again when I heard what sounded like a shotgun and the the backyard and all around light up like daylight another one came thru. I had the camera ready this time then again the next morning again .. I've had no idea who to tell this to until recently. Hopefully someone will listen.. ???

Rock Round, CA
We were visiting Texas for a soccer tournament and decided to go to Denny’s because it was across the street from our hotel. I thought that the ice dripping from the Denny’s sign was super cool so I decided to take a picture. When I reviewed the picture back at the hotel, I had seen that there was and unidentifiable object above the sign in the sky. When I zoomed in to look at it, it looked like there was some sort of energy buzzing around the object that caused the planes/fields of the picture to become slightly distorted and pixelated. The shape of the object was a half sphere (the top round and the bottom flat). It looked like it was flying forward, causing the object to lean forward which just doesn’t make technical sense to the technology provided today. It also doesn’t make any sense according to physics because of gravity affecting how the object flys (hence there are no wings on the object). I showed the picture to the people I was with and we all agreed on it being and unidentifiable object flying in the sky.

Was taking my dog for a walk in the morning, let him off leash in our side yard so he could poop. I was standing by the fence watching him and a yellow-white orb with the a "glow" that formed a ring around it flew at VERY HIGH SPEEDS from farther than I could see in the sky down above the the tree line two fields over from me. It came to SHARP stop and instantly shot out a ?plasma? like yellow-white shockwave that propelled into a ~ 330 degree turn shooting the craft at insane speeds back up out of sight within a second. The visual of the propellant lingered longer than the craft did. There was NO sound. I drew a picture (it's terrible quality) and titled it the date/time when I got back inside because the event happened so fast I didn't want to forget it because I kept thinking "Did I really just see that?" The glow of the craft made it impossible to see any details. It's common for aircraft to fly over my area, and I've even seen pilots getting hours in on UAVs during severe weather like heavy fog, all aircraft are loud. This UFO was unlike anything I have ever seen, and as far as I'm concerned broke the laws of physics through it's speed, maneuverability, and lack of sound.

My ex-wife(now) was pouting on our back porch steps as we weren't getting along/talking. Before joining her in an attempt to ease her mind, I turned all the porchlights off to enhance the clear night sky and sit by her. Just sat down, neither of us speaking, looking over the pond into the dark distance 2 bright white/silver balls of light/orbs appeared over treetops approx. 500 yards away. While swiftly/silently coming straight toward us and becoming brighter, 2 more lights formed/appeared/began glowing with the other two. They seemed like free-floating and not connected/attached to anything from my observation. I/we were speechless the entire time until it/they stopped/hovered over the pond maybe20 or 25 feet and a really bright red light came on within the cluster/group of bright white/silver lights/orbs. The red light was really bright if not brighter, hovering, over the water when I said out loud, but softly, in awe "a fuc##!ing drone". That was the only explanation I had for a short moment before realizing it was not a drone. After hovering over the water they(lights/orbs) continued traveling same path slowly, quietly, eerily over my/our right shoulder at tree top level (50'-75'). This is the moment that led me to believe they were not connected but free-floating without a shape. They drifted on out of my limited sight of maybe 500 feet due to living within tall trees. Grabbing my laser sighted rifle and/or phone/camera crossed my mind during this event but not once did I take my eyes off of this mysterious moment. When I asked the wife(ex) if she saw that she replied "It looked like it had panels." Unfortunately, she is not experienced (don't care) with observations of our skies as I am.

My children and I were looking out into the night sky from our front door, when we noticed a large flying craft. It had an orange light/glow, and was flying unlike any aircraft that we know of. It would mostly fly upwards, sometimes sideways, and seemed a little jerky or erratic. It also had a beam of light coming down from it. It seemed to be searching for something. It made no sounds like how planes, helicopters, or drones make. The entire time it made no noise and was completely silent.Then after about a minute, it started to dematerialize slowly until it vanished completely while we watched. The night before, my daughter had been playing with a laser pointer and shining it into the sky.

My wife and I was driving home from Waynesboro MS when she noticed a round yellowish orange ball amongst all the stars. I then noticed it as well right before it disappeared abruptly and another popped up to the right for two or three seconds then also abruptly disappeared followed by another one showing up farther to the right all in a line. All three looked identical. We then continued to notice them later down the road two more times just behind the tree lines.

There was a glowing orb about 500 ft away, at about 65 degrees to the East. It moved erratically left to right, forward and back then shot straight up at a very height speed. We did our research on Loon balloons, weather balloons, drones, etc. and none moved like this. My husband and I have almost 30 years each in the aviation business with some pilot training and my husband who shot the video was a forward air controller in the Air Force. Never seen anything like this. It was 20-30 ft in diameter. Car horns we’re going off when it happened. We have video and still shots. I don’t see here where to email our video and still pictures. I will email them if you like.
