I was at Walmart and I just got done putting in some washer fluid in my truck. I looked up at what I thought might had been a hobby drone but it got very bright. Then stayed lit in the sky for about 20 mins and just disappeared all at the same time. The website wont let me upload the video and picture I have. It dose not look like a comet or meteor either. I can send someone the video and picture I have. I would like to know what I saw.

One single ball or circular light traveling at high speed from west to east. My husband and I watched this UAP for about 3 min. In witch it faded out and disappeared. I recorded this UAP from my back yard we were burning off some brush do you will see that flame light in the background. The fire on video makes the UAP to look like it flickers a few times. But this UAP was a solid bright light . I did take two videos. The second video shows the UAP behind the tree in my yard. So you will see what looks like flickering but it's just behind the tree branches.

i observed what i thought was an asteroid or meteor falling to earth in donelson, tn near the bna airport. the closer it came to impact i braced for an expected load sonic boom seeing as in relation to the two aircraft that were landing at bna airport at the time dwarfed in comparision of this thing. then it pause and three triangle shaped bright lights two green and one white came on and it changed its direction at a 90 degree andgle and had a green smoke trail and dissapeared shortly out of the atmosphere, truley unlike any thing that ive ever witnessed in my entire life.

Object was bright white, shaped like a stubby football, flying horizontally moving faster than any prop aircraft I've seen, (I was a Navy pilot) I would estimate the size of it to be a slight bit larger than a private aircraft. There were no contrails or other exhaust indications. I was indoor and heard no sound. Never saw anything like it before except on TV. Most aircraft I've seen seem to be flying "slowly" in nearby skies; not this object. It seem to be moving at least twice the speed of prop aircraft in this area. I would estimate it's altitude to be between 1 -2 thousand feet. There is a small private airport about 5 miles to my north. P.S. It follows the Good Year blimp that flew a similar path a few days before. I have a video of that.

The object did not move. It stayed in one position the whole time. The sun was reflecting, quite brightly off the bottom of it. Through a pair of binoculars, I was able to see the lights rotating counter clockwise

I was going into five guys burger joint while I was driving. I saw what looked like a flat long cylinder object moving at a slow rate of speed and was glowing an orange. Altitude was probably between 12,000 and 16,000 feet. Came back out it was gone, checked both flightradar24 and ADSB exchange and there were planes in the area but not that matched the flightpath of this object and were some distance away I felt as if honestly when I was looking at it that it was observing everything in the area.

Rogers, MN
A single, very dark cloud with what appeared to be a silhouette of a parallelogram inside was spotted above Highway 94 between Rogers and Otsego. It was flying lower and faster than all of the larger, white clouds in the sky. The object disappeared behind the Otsego water tower, then came back into view from the other side. Within a span of two minutes, the object flew completely out of view from the highway. It did not appear to disperse like smoke, but was instead very solid in shape. Additionally, it left no trail of smoke or clouds from the ground nor the direction it came from. It was difficult to tell whether or not it was traveling in a linear fashion.

Initially thought it was a plane at first glance but the object shape made me second look. Object was still solid and super flat and large. Couldn’t believe my eyes. I was driving and trees covered the area for like 15-20 seconds and once I reached the freeway there was a streak of light smoke going up. The only thing my son was able to get a picture of. A small plane later flew by the area and I know for certain that the object was huge and not a plane. Picture taken 5-10 minutes after it disappeared

I seen a fast moving formation of 3 lights in a straight line that had a definition of a dark/haze cylinder shaped object I could make out that the lights were on. It was moving very fast and almost seemed to fade away. About 20 minutes later it flew back in the exact same spot I seen it the first time headed the opposite direction.

Just one object that seemed to stay in one position for a long period of time. The object appeared to have three lights that then changed into one light. The colour of the lights were white. The oblect appeared to be very far away so I had trouble trying to zoom in with my camera phone and keep my hand steady at the same time. I did see commercial aircraft in the area at the same time. The object did seem to disappear after 15 mins, but I did see some could cover in the area. If I was honest when I did see an object in the same area again (around 20 mins later) and I could see that it looked like a star, but the object I was watching didn't look anything like a star? I hope I haven't wasted anyones time, this just seemed very odd in the night sky. The photo looks rubbish if I was honest, but it's the best I got, but maybe just a planet and some coulds playing tricks with my eyes?

While sitting outside with after dinner coffee I clearly observed two luminous orbs, (one red and one blue), moving very slowly north approx. 250 ft. up just above the tree tops on the shoreline of the Delaware riven. Each object appeared to be the size of a large farm tractor rear drive wheels. The night was relatively clear and there was no haze in the sky. The night was also quiet and there was no road traffic at the time of my observation.The objects did not emit any sound nor was there any exhaust vapor trailing the objects. I did not have a phone/camera to snap a picture at the time.

It didn't last long. I got a paranoid feeling that I wasn't alone, so I went outside. I heard this unnatural thrumming noise that was slowly getting quieter. I didn't think too much of it; it was probably a helicopter. As I looked northwest though, I saw a string of lights appear in an alternating pattern of one, then two, then one again. It was like stars actings as hopscotch squares. They disappeared after a few seconds, row by row. I didn't know what to make of it. I then watched two stars move very quickly to a different location, but they stayed in the same position. Like two points in a diagonal slash. \ I'll share a quick drawing.My neighbor's dog just wouldn't stop barking until it stopped too. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

I looked west over Mobile Bay at 9:36PM and saw 22 lights floating and moving west to east. I initially thought it was Starlink however, the lights were not organized in the same manner in a straight line. I stop to film the event. It was extremely surreal, as I have never seen anything like it before. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

I was outside with my dog and herd a loud noise in the sky. When I looked up I saw 4 large disk spinning. Each disk was a different color. Blue, red, white. I never could make out what was above the disk. It flew over my house. I called for my 2 boys to come outside and see it. I thought it left but it flew back over my house again. As it was getting farther away we saw that things were shooting out of it. It looked like stars with blinking lights on each one. Then there was a big flash of light and that 4 disc thing was gone but all the blinking things that looked like stars were left behind. Then the whole sky filled with these blinking things . They were in groups of 3 in a boomerang formation. I counted over 13 sets of 3. I went in the house because my children were scared. After I calmed them down and went back outside all the blinking things were gone

String of white cylinder lights, very bright, white, non-blinking, traveling in a straight line, airline, traveling from west to east. No noise noted with the objects. The speed of the object appeared significantly slower than satellites, and appeared much larger than we normally see satellites, and seem to lower in atmosphere, they disappeared once they reach further east closer to headed toward the Milky Way and then Bella disability was completely lost in seconds [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

I saw a small craft flying at low altitude directly above me as a was looking at star constellations. I'm not against it being a drone but it was travelling at a high rate of speed. It took about 5 seconds for it to cross the skyline. It was very dim. Drones I've seen have bright lighting for pilot visual identification. This was no drone I've seen. Also I believe it was flying at an altitude of @ 2-5 thousand feet. Drones don't fly that high.

There were about 25-30 cluster of lights moving in the same direction. Lasted for less than a minute then they all disappeared at the same time. (They were not in a line. It was a cluster of lights in different formations.)

About 9:20 pm, i seen a line of staggered lights in the sky coming from the west and they were heading easty moving considerably fast. I didnt count but there was about 20+ lights. They were fairly bright and were one solid color. I called for my dad and sister to come out who were also perplexed at the sight. The lights weren't spaced evenly and were weaving as they moved. As if they were slaloming. After watching for a minute, the scattered and disappeared practically instantly faster than they were moving before.

After watching a jet go straight up in the air then and west going straight above us a sphere shaped craft appeared at the halfway mark of the trail left by the jet while it went straight. As we were looking at it and wondering where it came from a bright light appeared in the sky north of it and then it dimmed with a flicker . Then the sphere like craft headed west until we couldn't see it anymore. I believe he light.was from a metallic craft reflecting the sun.

I regularly take a swim in Strouds Run State Park. I swim across and then return back. On my way back I looked up and saw the sky. It was sunset and dark blue above me. To the horizon was colorful sunset. Above me I noticed thin clouds. I noticed among them were 5-7 square yellow green colored objects. All equal distance and within the clouds. There was no noise. They moved very slowly over head. I could not come ot any other human make objects which they may have been. It was a bit frightening being in the middle of the lake as the object(s) passed overhead of me. I felt am awareness of myself and that something above was looking at me. It was a strange feeling. I swam as quickly as I could back to shore. At this point it had passed and was continuing East slowly over the lake. More more detail, the green/yellow squares apeared to be blinking.
