Object flew west to east slowly flaming for 5-10 seconds. The flames were condensed,were compact with no trail. It was red yellow and white and after the flames went out it was red white round and pulsating. Slow moving and seemed to slow down and change direction. I saw the Starlink reentering earlier this year, dozens of satellites, asteroids and meteors and this had none of those characteristics. I did get my phone out in time to catch a video of it for the last few seconds of visibility as it seemed to be listening and then turning sharply right before going out of view

Salem, SC
We were sitting around a campfire at our lake property in Salem S.C., when a swarm of UFO’s came across the sky. One craft was ahead of the others, and the total count was around 15. We immediately thought about filming it but both realized our phones were too far away. We watched as the swarm of crafts flew across the night sky silently. As the approaching about 3/4 the way across the sky they simply faded, and disappeared. The entire incident only took 8 seconds. My wife and I just looked at each other spellbound, on what we had just witnessed. The swarm of UFO’s all were flying in a perfectly straight line, with the one being out from, separated from the pack. We know for certain these were not satellites. They were too low and too bright, and too fast. The fact that they vanished into nothingness was the thing that really stood out in my mind. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

Hague, VA
Brother and I spotted a white circle in the mid day crossing the sky from the east at high altitude. Watched in amazement and confusion for twenty seconds or so cross the entire horizon directly over us. At one point appeared to near a commercial airline where it slowed then continued flying out of site. Moved too fast for anything I can associate with. Object was bright white perfectly round appeared to have slight distortion in shape of triangle like a cylindrical tail so to speak. No visible trail or evidence was left behind. Unfortunately we were so mesmerized by the object we did not get any pictures.

IdentifiedLadue/St Louis, MO
A bright red/orange/yellow object passed overhead suddenly and completely vanished, didn’t fade away, no smoke or haze, absolutely no sound. The object was lower than any plane that has crossed overhead. 2 days later we set up a camera and captured a triangle of bright lights (see attached video) and 7 days later we captured the next video (same location). First video is likely a spiderweb floating by, [NUFORC annotation: Insect - Certain]

Me and my girlfriend were at the ROOF, a rooftop bar in the Edition Hotel here in reykjavik having a few drinks. We were sitting outside while the northern lights slowly appeared they were not super visible but when we took photos on our phone they appeared. While taking photos our iPhone 12s have this filter so we could see the sky better. Well I started seeing this small white orbs appearing and disappearing, at first I did not say anything since my gf would normally call me crazy. Well all of a sudden she sees it and calls me over. No matter how hard I tried I could not get a video or photo of them directly on my iPhone which I found super weird. What I ended up having to do was take a photo of my gfs phone when they appeared. Well I’ll let the photos speak for themselves because that was truly crazy. You will be able to see in one of the photos 3 perfect white dots in a triangular pattern. I will be back to Canada next week and I’d love to talk to someone about my findings. I have photos evidence and multiple witnesses. Some are locals from the hotel who said that is not normal. I will provide the photos if someone contacts me. I do not want my phones taken and used by someone else without my permission

The pictures will show a strange object in my driveway? One of the pictures shows a dock at the top of the screen. It disappears, and the screen goes black for a second or two then you see the moon come into focus in the circular orbit, spinning at high speed. Some of the pictures I had taken may have been a reflection from my iPhone, but these definitely were not. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Certain]

I live near an airport and like to watch the planes coming in and going out at night while letting my dogs out. Tonight I watched a plane ascend. There was a solid white orb that appeared a distance away from the air plane. Within just a few seconds, the orb changed directions and began following the plane at a high rate of speed. Once the orb got closer to the plane, it slowed down and kept a safe distance but continued to follow the plane until I could no longer see either.

I’m very concerned as I e been seeing these crafts a lot over the past 3 years. Please advise and check all areas being reported. I do feel this is becoming a bit of a global I invasive issue. Once I got inside my home I locked all doors but heard voices. I’m hoping this is not a common theme lately as I’ve looked up the UFO reporting map and there’s usually well over a dozen over the U.S. [NUFORC annotation: Hoax - Possible]

Amble, NORTHUMB · United Kingdom
Place of observation was near Amble in Northumberland and lasted for approx 15 minutes. I saw a dark solid object on the horizon. Due to the distance it appeared spherical. The object changed altitude constantly, sometimes at sea level sometimes above. This was north east from the beach between Amble and High Hauxley. It was very dark in colour and had no distinguishing features. It slowly moved south until eventually out of site. I took 4 videos ( over 1 min in total) and 15 photographs on my camera phone. 2 videos and 2 images are attached to this report. I am happy to be contacted by email.

Three of my neighbors or more witnessed this white disk this morning and it hovered for hours then flew north and returned hours later at 3PM and is still here. That's what's so strange.

It was low in the sky, moving quickly and silent, emitting a swirling glow in a sphere around a point of light. After about a minute it emitted a pulse of light in front of it in a cone that moved slowly and outwards, as it disappeared.

My husband and I were sitting outside when he saw something flying through the sky and told me to look over at it. It was flying in a relatively straight path and seemed to be flying faster than an average airplane. The most strange part was that it had a cloud like haze that was glowing around it, but the sky was clear all around it and you could see the stars very clear around it as well. There was no trail behind it, and no noise. We watched it fly and go behind a nearby cloud and then we were no longer able to see it. It was in our sight for about 30 seconds.

My name is((name deleted)) While riding on the Tram Car near the Convention Center I was taking pictures of the Night Sky. When I reviewed the Photos (while still on the Tram Car) I saw this object in the top left hand corner of the Photo. I did not see it when I took the Photo. I am mystified. I waited a few hours to report this simply because I felt foolish and would not be believed, but the Camera doesn't lie. I am a 61 Year old Professional. You can find me on LinkedIn and see my Articles/ Interviews on Differentbrains.org and Interviews on Spectrum Cable Hart of New York My point is that I am a serious person and not seeking attention.

I was driving home and was on Mt Carmel Rd in Parkton and saw a weird object flying really fast next the moon and was very confused, it couldn’t be a plane because it was so high up (next to the moon) and was flying away really fast.

Saw circular object glowing a few thousand feet above our house. Grabbed my telephoto lense and shot the attached picture. Object continued to rise. To the naked eye I thought it may be a hot air balloon, but it was extremely high and it was getting dark out. Once I took the picture, I was able to zoom in and see that it didn’t resemble a hot air balloon. After about 20 minutes it was too high to see.

The object hovered about 45 minutes around Atlanta Airport. It turned three colors solid red, solid green and solid white as if was mimicking a airplane. It appeared 8/ 24 and again 8/25 same time and continued to hover.
