As we turned off of highway 32 to go south on hazel dell parkway, I noticed a shiny light in the sky. It was just one and seemed to have a shimmer about it. It did not look like any aircraft and it did not look like it was moving. I asked my two boys ages 9 and 5 if they see it also and they did. We saw it for a few seconds maybe 5-10 and as we crossed the midland trail and went under the cross arm for the flashing light the object was gone. It just dissapeared. We were watching it and it just wasnt there. It looked like it was a long way down hazel dell and not close to where we were.

At exactly 5:33 PM CST (Jan 13 2022) I was walking with my wife and daughter near the neighborhood community pond area and snapped a photo of the setting sun over the pond. I snapped 2 photos within a few seconds duration. I later noticed that the second photo had a speck on the distant sky over the pond (above the trees). On zooming in, notice an almost circular object with visible lights on it. Didn't know what to make of it. Hence reporting this here.

Portland, OR
On Jan. 10th, 2022, at roughly 2030 PM, my spouse was in the backyard of our former rented home stargazing, while I was inside. My spouse than called at me to hurry outside and look at something. Upon arrival, I observed a spherical light at roughly 5,000 feet up, traveling slowly. The light suddenly changed directions 3 to 4 times, and shifted between the primary colors 4 times. We observed the object for roughly 3 minutes before it rapidly accelerated heading NNE and then vanished from sight. A week later, my spouse and I discovered a dead raccoon that had been skinned completely and had been apparently expertly dissected. Unsure if events are related. My background: I am a volunteer first responder with PBEM-NET and am a trained Skywarn observer, as well as a former firefighter, SAR volunteer, and EMT-B. I am also a M.Sci graduate student at Portland State University.

It seemed to have 3 flashing lights but the lights would occasionally turn off. The object wold fly closer towards land and then further away again and it would sometimes move up higher in a vertical line and then appear lower again. At one point I saw another light moving down toward it and then that disappeared. My baby wifi monitor lost connection a few times during the sighting - unsure if related.

Lake Alfred, FL
I was getting ready for bed and usually check all of our outdoor security cameras. I noticed something unusual about what appeared to be 2 lights moving together over the cow pasture. At first I thought it was bugs flying but realized that they traveled together in uniform, but they seem to have there own Independant movement. I tried to shift the camera a little to follow them, which is seen in the video. They appeared to come towards the house in which they get larger do to perspective. At one point the camera seemed to have a glitch and the two light stay in one frame. They then shoot up off out of the frame. Not sure really what is was.

One round light exited Atlantic Ocean, went very quickly straight up and flew into the clouds. It then exited the clouds and circled back into the clouds. As the light circled into the clouds a seconded light emerged and flew back into the clouds.

Saw a light which moved quite a distance from when first observed above the trees across from Lone Birch and Cemetary area in I.L., Upstate N.Y. The picture and video I have will explain what I witnessed. Almost nightly for a year, UFO activity has been extremely noticeable to many people in town and probably far wider region(s) of noticability I haven't considered. My brother and I watched a light by the beach, went back to lone birch to see an invisible-mirage like triangle hovering with I think 3 lights, and down Abanakee Lake Road thereafter, two squashed sphere ufos with yellowish, rectangular "windows" that had rounded edges. Another time we saw what was like a cloud stretching out mirage like but moving like a ship made of a cloud.. My first encounter about a year ago, I noticed a light flash around me then when I looked to the sky and saw another flash above the clouds; all this after watching low level shooting stars and weird star/light moving and staying still odder snd odder the longer I watched. Please watch this about what was witnessed, there are several instances at different times I'll add.

I-10 freeway near Az and Ca border, heading west, AZ
I'm driving down the I10 from Arizona to California. This video is near the CA/AZ border... The reason I am driving (fearing for my life) is because I have video evidence that are issues of national security...actually, your's and my security. National Security really means "continued military dominance". This ball of light appears to be darting all around with no purpose. What you can't see but I know is there, is that in the center of the video is a V shaped cloud pointed at the front (towards camera). It is in fact a giant cloaked triangular craft. Think stealth. It's there but it's hidden so well you don't know it's there. What you are seeing is the small white light moving around the craft in the center. I am attaching videos of craft(s) paralleling my car on the freeway. They are in fact protecting me from the white craft in the distance. How do I know this? LISTEN TO MY VOICE when I am speaking with the video IN SLOW MOTION. It sounds like screeching and groaning, etc., almost like I am speaking in an "animal" language, like a lion groaning, birds screeching, etc. listen to it!!! what do you hear???

Saw a long string of lights way above the clouds for about 30 seconds -lights in the string a mixture of red and yellow ball lights set along the string with dark gaps between the lights, travelling slowly in a straight line that the disappeared -there was no noise and 4 times the length of an aircraft- my witness was my mate I was talking to on the phone who I described what I was seeing to -there was no alcohol or drugs involve as I was boringly sober -this is the 4th UFO sighting I've had in 40 odd years, although one was explained as the shuttle going up, seen as a shaky triangular flamming light thousands of miles away above the horizon, seen off the top of The Remarkable Mountain Range after dusk in August 2003 I think. The first one I saw witnessed by 4 of us sitting at Huia Hall Reserve on sea wall 30 December 1978 was a white light ball with 25 meter yellow on blue streamer that appeared over Awhitu Penninsula head and dropped down to fly across the Manukau Harbour before lifting again over Spraggs Point at which time it disappeared with a pop and all the lights in Huia went out [also witnessed athe the local Waitakere Ranger sitting on his front portch on the hill behind us]. The second was at Takanini in summer 1991 I think, seen by 15 of us in clear skies, tall joined pods that were translucent in colour and wriggled through the sky like a snake -we couldn't explain it -there was no sound

Lake Hughes, CA
We had been interested in the night sky for some time before this and had been taking walks at night to see the stars and planets. We had gotten used to the late-night sky and wanted to see how much the sky had changed overnight. So, we woke up early one morning and took a walk before the sun came up. At the corner of Muir Drive and Newvale Drive, where we could see the sky clearest, by chance we spotted the ISS making a pass over us. That was confirmed by a satellite tracking app we had. Not two minutes later, looking to the northwest, I spotted three lights in a perfect equilateral triangle shape in that direction I had not seen before. Initially I thought they were stars I missed, but the person I was with said there was nothing in that direction before the ISS passed over. The triangle was just over the mountains, but it was too dark for me to be able to determine the distance. Also due to the darkness, I am unsure whether it was three separate objects or one whole object. Of the three lights, the highest light had an orange color, as did the lower right light. The lower left light seemed to be somewhat larger than the two others and was not orange, but a bright white. The lights did not move at all or make any noise. None of them flashed or changed color. The ISS passed over at exactly 5:50 AM and the lights were not there before, putting the object’s appearance sometime between 5:51 and 5:52. By the next minute they had completely faded away. It was a completely clear morning, no clouds and very little wind. My exact position: Latitude: 34.677278 Longitude: -118.452504

I was in my car, recording traffic through my window (window was closed) using my android phone camera. I was facing the Chugach mountains. I did not notice any lights or planes while I was recording. Later, when viewing recording, I saw these lights behind the electrical lines. It does not move much for a minute and five seconds. I do not have info after I stopped recording. I edited the video to only show the lights and lines.

Bright ball of light that moved left then right at an average speed then straight down really fast and disappeared behind the tree line. Was straight ahead of me while I was driving. It seemed to be at some distance. I’ve seen shooting stars before and this was not a shooting star.

South Brent, Dartmoor National park., DEVON · United Kingdom
I was sitting up in bed just having used the toilet, turned off the light and folded my iPad away and put it down on the table next to my bed when two lights extremely bright came on at the same time illuminating the whole room, I would say they were just behind the tree line (trees not very high, they had to be fairly low as my sight of vision put these lights in the centre of the window). These were perfectly still for about two seconds. In a split second they went out but from my side window I saw a flash of light disappear to the right from my side window at phenomenal speed. The lights must have stayed bright as they shot off as they kind of faded smaller as they went into the distance seemingly heading over the small village of South Brent in the Dartmoor direction. The speed they went off was mind boggling. I have never seen anything move so fast and there was no noise whatsoever, total silence, as the window was open. I use a fan at night to keep the air fresh so as to help me sleep. No 1/ when the lights came on there was two lights, perfectly in line, set apart, extremely bright and focused not like the sun where the light spreads out, this light was tight and whitish blue in colour, extremely bright. White on the inside, blue aura around it. No 2/ the lights appeared to go out but I don’t think they did, I believe they appeared to go out due to the speed of travel which seemed instantaneous like 0- to whatever. I believe this to be the case as the illumination I saw from the right window faded very fast as it disappeared toward the Dartmoor direction. What I am describing was at an unbelievable speed. Oh, and on shooting off there seemed to be a somewhat slight orange tint to the lights on disappearing to the right through the second window. I am not a person who lightly reports things, I did not consume any alcohol last night, I just felt a need to report this as someone else may have seen this in the same region or area. That’s all. I am 65 years of age. My email address refers to a Gibson guitar not a ufo. I admit I am interested in this phenomena but I have never witnessed anything like this before. And I don’t believe it was a natural event. I must admit it felt eerie.

Surf City, NC
Last month I stayed on the same stretch of beach at an ocean front beach house. I was sitting on the deck and saw this weird ‘star?’ but I noticed it moving closer to me and then back toward the pier. It would hover in certain places. I could not tell how big it was but all of a sudden the yellow star took off super fast toward the south and disappeared in seconds. So now, one month later I am on the deck at a different oceanfront beach house on the same stretch of beach at about 8:30pm and I see the light coming up the beach toward me, heading North. I recognized it immediately. It stopped about half way between me and the pier, hovering. Then all of a sudden it like heated up and cast a dimmed light onto the ocean near the shore and then took off super fast heading upwards. I followed the red dot as far as the eye could see and it took a right turn and disappeared. The light cast on the ocean told me that it was pretty big. Anyway, I am freaking out and am like damn, I did not have my camera. So I hung out again hoping it would come back so I could get video. It did not, but I was freaking out that if it did it might see me trying to capture it from the light the camera emits. I can’t believe I missed that opportunity. I have seen ufo's before in NM and a triad in St. Louis, Mo many years ago but this might be the closest I have come to an alien abduction (nervous laugh.)

i have a video of the incident. there were 3 very bright lights in the night sky, way brighter than the stars, and they were lined up in a perfectly straight line. they looked as if they were blinking or the lights were going in and out of view, not in harmony. they sat there until i went inside and it freaked me out for days now. I routinely go outside on my back deck and watch the skies at night waiting for sightings and this was outside above my house. i have it on video. i know my view of the sky very well and this was never there before which prompted me to start recording. to reassure myself that it was one giant craft or three individual craft, and not orions belt, I have been monitoring the exact position of the sighting every night at the same time and what i saw has not returned and cannot be found in my sky anywhere since the sighting. very strange. while looking in its direction my vision felt distorted like the image was wavy as well. blew my mind. my dog began acting very strange and barking and hiding under the deck table as well. hes a huge dog too. he was freightened.

Every night when the stars are shining on a clear night anyone can point a led flashlight or green/blue laser at them and within seconds they will start fluttering around like a balloon that tied to something. They stay within a close area from witch you get it to move from.70% of the stars visible I have made move around and shown lol to s of ppl. I would like to know a re e we living in a simulation? Or is a sky cloak for protection?

In the early morning hours of 01-02-22 outside getting fresh air, stretch break looking mostly in a westwardly direction at a guestimation distance of 600-1000yds did I visually observe a 'three star formation' in the morning sky. It struck me as instantly odd-like as to why Orion's belt would be hanging in the early morning sky. I adjusted moi position at the area near or up next to the dog park, kennel thing at PATH-Venice and took in a better view. When did the furthest star, right side facing me 'lifted off' from its static appearance (in the seemingly familiar constellation formation) then manouvered & noticably hovered above the other two, as they did remain still, kept the same trackable speed and then at the furthest left star did this bright object jog right again and straight up, up, up when/while still ascending did a second UAP 'drop in from above' acquiring the same trajectory of the first one from the west/southwest. And I am able to observe now two UAPs, the first one vanishes still climbing upwards into the vast area above. The second (from notes) UAP was mostly unremarkable in that it's kinda just disappeared.

2022 new year ufo sighting UK. Taken approx 1am on January 1st.. just 1 hour into the new year on jan 1st 2022.. While outside watching the last of the fireworks I saw a green and red light flashing slowly in the sky. I obviously assumed it was a plane for a moment however it then started to move in a totally random fashion... Realising it was a UFO or maybe 2 I ran in and grabbed my iphone 11 pro, just before I managed to start filming the initial lights blinked out, then this light reappeared for just over 30 seconds.. unfortunately i didnt have time to change settings on my phone (ie to 4k 30fps) so its only in HD 1080p 25fps and very noisy footage but it was amazing to see... I stayed outside until 7am hoping it would return but it didnt... it almost seems to blink out as a big firework goes off... The initial lights, red and green were circling each other darting around the area of sky in a rapid motion. there was no noise (when the fireworks stopped for a minute) heres the link to the footage i did manage to catch, please feel free to contact me for any more details. I can also send you the file from my phone although its compressed with h.264 codec so isnt much better resolution wise. I work as a designer and musician so i work alot in photoshop and after effects etc so im going to have a play with the camera footage (increase a still image resolution in photoshop etc... not sure what i will be able to do in after effects though as im just a motion designer, see work on glenwilsoncreative.com as im an art director and my technical skills are not amazing to see what i mean). its more interesting to watch frame by frame as it seems to move in an S shape in the sky. youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k_F4A2swvk

There were 2 orange lights moving across the sky southwest to the northeast. First light flew out of site and second light followed the same path. The second light was in the front of the object and when passed you could see the light disappear, but could see the object then it disappeared behind the clouds.

On new years 2018 at around 12 am myself and my husband went outside to bang pots and pans for new years. As we were looking above the trees and houses we begin to see a white light appear out of the sky and then slowly disappear behind the trees. Then there were two more and they slowly appeared and they flew slowly and then disappeared behind the treess. 20 or so white circle dots of light kept coming into our atmosphere and then slowly would disappear behind the trees. I believe they were looking at the fireworks that were exploding all over because of the new year celebration.

Whilst welcoming in the new year in back garden I noticed 5 objects (white lights) travelling across the sky in a NE direction. There didn’t appear to be any particular pattern to there flight. I have a 45 second video recording the event!
