I didn’t notice the object at first. I was taking a photo of the view from my back patio to send to a friend from back home. It wasn’t until I reviewed the photo to make sure my friend got it that I noticed the object in question. Still to this day I question what the possibilities of what this could be.

Wilmington, NC
While driving home in my truck eastbound on 17th St. approaching its intersection with South College Rd., I looked out my driver's window in a northerly direction. I observed a silvery-white cigar tube (rounded at "front", blunt at "tail") shaped craft that appeared to be lazily flying in a direct East to West direction. It was moving very slowly, perhaps 10-20 mph. The object had no visible stabilizers or wings. It had no visible propulsion system e.g. propeller(s), or exhaust heat plume The craft had no markings, except for what I thought might be part of a tail fin, which was black and white. Thinking about it, however, it probably was not a tail fin because of it's very low profile. The surface of the craft was smooth; there were no visible ribs. No landing gear was visible. In short, it simply looked like a slow moving silver-white cigar tube. The object I observed was, as stated, moving very slowly through the air. The field in the background made it easier to see in profile. It held steady at a very low altitude and I observed no vertical or horizontal drift. I looked at it for as long as I could, perhaps five seconds, then I looked back at the road, as this was rush hour. As soon as I could, perhaps seven seconds later, I looked back at the spot where I first observed the object, and it was gone. I looked to the right and left of the object, but it was gone, like it vanished or something. There was a lone tree in the foreground situated where the object may have passed behind it, but it was moving so slowly, and was appreciably higher in the sky than the tree, that I would have been able to view part of the craft above the tree line. As it was, I looked directly at the tree and no part of the craft was visible. As there was no point of reference to judge its distance from me, I cannot give an approximation of its length. I moved to Wilmington from Akron, OH, which is home to the "Spirit of Akron" blimp. I am very familiar with blimp features: the gondola, tethering cables, propeller engines, superstructure, windows and the "skin" of a blimp. This was no blimp. It more closely resembled a dirigible, but had no gondola, visible propulsion system, or markings of any kind. In short, I don't have any idea of what it was or how it could have disappeared so quickly, almost as if it utilized some kind of "cloaking" technology.

I was driving along mountain view and via Linda when I noticed something really reflective and shiny in the sky. It was very odd and out of place to see, especially considering it was the middle of the day when the sun was out and at its hottest/brightest. It looked like a cigar-shaped, bright silver object that just floated in the sky, completely motionless. I couldn't hear any noise coming from it either, like you typically do when you see a plane or drone. Then when I glanced down at my phone for maybe 2 seconds to see the picture that I posted here, when I looked back up it was just completely gone. Any type of man made aircraft would have slowly moved out of sight until it was too far away to see and it wouldn't have just completely disappeared in 2 seconds from that distance. I have actually seen something like this before, about a year ago, with other people who witnessed it too. It had the exact same physical characteristics and was also silent and motionless in the sky for seconds until it just completely disappeared. I don't have pictures of that experience but it looked almost identical.

Pendleton, OR
I saw a dark vertical object in the sky. I assumed at first that it must be a meteor because it was a nearly vertical streak in the sky. When it continued to hover in the sky and not 'burn out' I decided to start recording (my phone was already on a dash mount, so all I had to do was open the camera and press record). I took several still photos and videos. In the videos, the object seems to blink in and out of reality, then appears in a clear cigar-like vertical shape. I did notice in pictures later, that there seemed to be a haze around the object, similar to heat distortion. I have other pictures and videos but hesitate to give up all rights to them, so am only uploading one. I have lived in Oregon for almost 30 years.

I was walking my doc and talking in my phone on 11/5 in the evening- no overcast. Stars were visible. Up in the sky and object appeared with red and white light around at and then I could see a rocket like shape with white and red light around the object. The red and white light around it was formed in the direction it was traveling. The light was more like Led light - it didnt look like fire because I thought at first it was a huge firework. The shape was too distinct and the way the light formed around the object was not like a firework. I thought maybe it was a comwt or ahooting star or meteor but it didnt have a typical trail or tail. The object traveled horizontally and then disappeared. I was unable to follow it in the sky because it disappeared in the direction it was traveling. I looked all over the internet to see if I could find images that look similar to what I saw. I dont know what it was that I saw. I was on the phone and my friend heard me gasp and I described it to her. It was brief - only 5 seconds if that. I uploaded a silly sketch- I am not a professional.

Large cigar shaped craft traveling in an easterly direction no noise, no vapor trail, no wings. Looked like a large zeppelin or a large missile. The craft was silver in color. It looked extremely smooth and it seemed to be floating. There are normally jets that fly by in the area and we can see their wings , hear them and normally see a trail vapor. This was absolutely not a jet of any kind.

Brewerton, NY
Walking down long pt rd towards beach rd in Brewerton I saw a long cigar shaped craft moving very slowly and hovering. It looked like it came accross the lake and moving toward I -81. I live near the airport across Oneida Lake and often see planes taking off and landing near the Airport. I live on Beach Rd and it was hovering near my house. I'm used to hearing helicopters but this made absolutely no sound. As I walked closer to the craft it turned and appear to be triangular with a curve on long side and two foreshortened sides. It was not like any craft I've ever seen, other than something resembling a stealth bomber but more rounded on edges. I would like to note I saw this craft around the time within an hour President Biden was leaving Syracuse. There were other types of air traffic in the area during this time as I could see multiple (identifible) planes flying around. I'm not sure if it was an undisclosed aircraft for security purposes, since the military works on different kinds. All I know is that I saw an unidentifible flying object that was shaped oddly and I've never seen before. Unfortunately I did not have my cell phone on me to capture it.

I was driving and I saw 6 green lights in the sky, 2 of them appeared to stop while the 4 kept moving. The 2 crafts in the back sped up and flew past the other 4. A big fireball appeared and everything just disappeared.

October 27, 2022 1st day of my vacation, staying in an ocean front hotel, 8th floor. Woke up 5:30ish to use the bathroom and then decided to watch the waves off my private balcony. The sky was beautiful and one star in particular was much brighter than the rest. I stood there admiring it and enjoying the night sky, the sounds of the water and the peace and quiet. After a few minutes I noticed that bright star was moving sideways (to my right) and moving quickly. I thought "Gee, that can't be a star, the earth doesn’t turn on its axis that fast…..it must be a plane." So, I kept watching when it suddenly changed direction and started moving towards me at an even faster pace. I kept waiting to hear the sound of an airplane but there was no sound at all other than the ocean waves. I began to feel a bit frightened, so I took a picture hoping later my husband could tell me what he thought it was (he’s really into airplanes and anything military). In the morning I forwarded it to my husband (who was back home caring for our dogs). He felt it definitely was not a plane and most likely could be labeled a UFO. I don’t know what this is but felt I should let someone know. The time stamp on my phone says 5:48am.

Video & picture: I saw this extremely bright (reflective) metal cigar shaped object hovering & very slowly moving. It made no noise, had no exhaust trail & had no colored or flashing lights. Was heading west. Several vehicles were stopped along the 4 lane to observe it.

I was with three other people. One didn’t see anything. I and two others saw it. We were sitting at my complex’s pool around sunset while several airplanes with lights passed by. My friend said “what is THAT?!” and that’s when I saw it. It looked like a brown stick with tendrils. It had no lights on it, and was flying faster than the planes (which all had their lights on) around it. Sporadic flight patterns. At first we thought it could have been an insect, until the object flew further down and disappeared behind an apartment building, meaning it was in the air and far larger than we thought. We don’t know what that was, but all three of us are convinced that what we saw was not a plane or a bug, but something unexplainable.

After watching the object in the sky for around 1 minute, I started to video. While doing so, I was not watching their my camera, but still with my naked eye. After the object finally disappeared, I started to watch the video. At 32 seconds into the video, something "glitched" and only lasted a split second. I then began to edit/slow down the video and that's when I saw it. A grey object with what appears to be some kind of smoke emitting from around it. You can clearly see details on one side, and it doesn't look smooth. I did not see it land, but just kind of fade from sight.

My partner and I were traveling from St. John's, Newfoundland to NYC and had a brief stopover in Toronto. During the planes decent into Toronto my partner and I both briefly noted a capsule-shaped metallic/whitish looking object through our window on the left side of the airplane. The object appeared to move past the plane in the opposite direction than we were moving (towards the back of the plane) but may have also just been moving slow or stationary relative to us. We visualized it for about 2-3 seconds before we passed it. We were on decent and about halfway down to the runway from our cruising altitude. The object seemed just past the planes wing but it was hard to pick up details of it so I believe it was actually much farther away. My partner and I both saw it individually, and we both turned to each other to see if the other had seen it. No one else on the plane had seemed to notice it. We didn't report it as we assumed whatever it was would have been picked up on radar or that it may have been a drone or a bird or something. We also had a very short layover between flights and had to make our connecting flight. There was only one object. It appeared silvery white but the sun was rising and bright so it was hard to tell. We didn't see any other details, we only saw it for a couple moments and then we passed it. Our backgrounds: Myself: Registered Nurse (critical care) My partner is a dispatcher for 911
