Steamboat, CO

Didn’t notice the object in the sky until I looked at the photo. I took the same photo seconds earlier and it was not there

My husband and I were outside on our back patio when I saw it hovering over the neighbors house in broad daylight. It looked like an orb with an arm on top (shaped like a Sunfish) maybe white/silver and red. It looked like it was surveying or taking pics. It moved in a straight line, fast. It was about 3000-5000 ft in the air,

Just east of Catalina Island, CA

Flying in Southwest Flight 2032 from Sacramento to OC John Wayne Airport we had just passed by Catalina Island, Had beautiful clear views for miles and has been enjoying the view, as we moved passed island i sat back n my seat on the right side of aircraft and looked out window toward the wing I was in about 5th row from back. I saw a light , emerge below the wing out about 200 yards , I focused in on it it as we passed by it, I could see metallic spike antenna like things sticking out, of it the white light . The light was best guess, 1-3' tic tac shape and the 4+ spikes seemed about 6-7 times longer. It moved from my left to right and I couldn't recognize as anything I had seen before, I am a RPIC pilot, but the antennas on top 1set at 20 and 60 degrees. I didn't have time to really look down as we passed in around 3 seconds or less. Immediately I asked the guy siting in front of me who I could tell had been looking out side and he confirmed. He first said light, then said maybe drone and he wanted to explain away but all the other planes ships etc were very clear and hard to mistake. He was questing why it was so close. I had been taking photos but had just put my phone away , super clear calm still ocean below. [NUFORC annotation: Drone - Possible]

Anaheim, CA

I just purchased a Samsung S23 ultra cell phone and I've been taking pictures of the moon with the camera because wow the clarity is incredible so on April 4th I was in class and I took a break from class at 8:06 to 8:18 and I took a series of pictures of the moon I went back to class then left class for the evening at 9:17 PM looked at the moon to take some more pictures and I thought wow it got hazy really fast and then I saw what looked like a really cool looking contrail. Took a couple of pictures started thinking that's not a contrail, took a few more pictures and it never changed shape was moving pretty darn fast it's very fascinating to look by 9:19 PM it was gone. So let me know what you guys think, I'll send 4 of the pictures I have a total of 13 pictures and I have quite a few images from an hour earlier. [NUFORC annotation: Contrail - Certain]

Kansas City, MO

I saw an aircraft (N9TL) flying eastbound at an altitude of 2400 feet (according to adsbexchange.com). Then I saw what appeared to be a large bird flying straight towards the aircraft. At first I thought they may collide but realized the UAP was flying ~500 feet below the aircraft. The UAP was not flapping its wings and appeared to be translucent. According to my Tempest weather station, there was zero wind at ground level at this time. The UAP was flying NE toward a KCPD station and also a KCPD helicopter (N691PD) that was in the area.

Fredericksburg, VA

I was in the back yard doing some astrophotography work and I looked up to see a form flying in a straight path over my house from the east to the west. I couldn’t tell what my eyes were seeing exactly and there are two ways to describe it. It looked as though it was a translucent boomerang shape with the curved part as the leading edge. But it also could have been the leading edge of a circular shaped craft with some kind of cloaking device on as the leading edge shape had a rippling/rippled effect along with the translucent appearance. It made no sound and with that and no reference point I could not tell if it was a large object 400-500 feet in the air or a small object 50-60 feet off the ground. The cops of trees that it flew over average 50-80 feet high so it was at least above that. The air was still. Barely a slight breeze, super clear night, 51 degrees F and cooling off. 95% of all flight paths in my area are N/S coining in and out of Reagan, Dulles and BWI. I’ve seen UFO’s before and this one was very unusual as it was very movie like in it’s quality.

Sedona, AZ

And it was ~ 50 meters in diameter and flew over silently and barely visible on a crystal clear night <= ~ 300 meters above; there were no aviation lights and it had a distinct shape… very strange it appeared cloaked

La Crosse, WI

I was letting my dog out to go to the bathroom after a good nights sleep. And I was looking up at the sky and I thought I saw a shooting star but it was moving slower than a shooting star would. Then rapidly 4 more lights (Maybe it was 5) shown through the clouds near by the original light and they were going pretty fast. I could see the lights fading and getting brighter as they moved through the clouds. Then I just couldn't see them anymore. I waited another minute to see if they would return, but nothing. I called the national weather service to see if they see if they saw anything on the radar and they said no. The lights came from the south along the Mississippi and headed north/north east. There is an airport near by. Maybe I'm just crazy. I just wanted to report it in case someone else woke up this morning and seen the same thing. Also, there were no sounds.

Los Angeles, CA

At roughly 9:22 pm on the evening of 22 Mar 2023, I was driving eastbound on the Interstate 10 approaching downtown Los Angeles. The skies were partly cloudy, but the lit skyline of downtown LA was clearly visible. I had one passenger in the car with me. Just passing the La Cienega Blvd exit on the I-10 East, I clearly discerned something that caught my eye in the sky, which I had initially written off as a cloud. What seemed odd what that there was a red light to one side of where I was looking, and a white light on the other side. At that point I had written it off as an airplane. But, whatever it was seemed to be fixed; it did not seem to move. Again, I didn't think anything of it, but as I kept driving, I glanced in that direction again and it had not moved from its place in the sky. At that point, I figured it to be an antenna on one of the mountain ranges far in the distance beyond downtown LA, but that would be impractical from where I was in proximity to the mountain ranges. And as I got closer to it, I began to notice the shape of an object. By now, I was roughly at the Crenshaw Blvd exit of the I-10 east. The object, again, had not moved from its place in the sky. The shape of it was like nothing that I've ever seen that could possibly perform a hovering movement, like a helicopter, balloon, drone, or dirigible. It was at this point that I pointed it out the passenger in my car. I asked her what she thought it might be, and she was as clueless as me. So, we both kept staring at it. It's difficult to describe the shape. It was somehow rectangular, but slightly convex along the long edges. I don't know how else to describe it. The left and right sides seemed to have protrusions. One side with a red light, the other with a white one. There were no markings on the object. I constantly observed it for movement, but it remained fixed. The remarkable shape of the object really made it stand out, because I've never seen anything like it before, and neither had my passenger. I had the best visual of it between the Hoover St exit, and the connector to the I-110 south. I'd assume it was between 800 to 1200 feet above me as we drove under it, after which we lost sight of it. I did extensive google searches to see if others posted things to corroborate my sighting. I even submitted a query to a local tv station. As of this writing, I have yet to see any other mention of it. As for myself, I have been a business communications and IT consultant for 29 years. My passenger is a data analyst.

Albion, MI

As I was driving west on I94 from Albion I noticed an H shapped craft in the clear sky that was almost stationary and appeared to have 2 short vapor trails under each leg of the bottom of the H shape. A passenger in a car passing me saw it also.

BIRMINGHAM, AL

I observed the light for about 1 1/2 outside on my front porch (which is only a couple of blocks from downtown Birmingham). I left to get something to eat and saw it on the Southside of Birmingham as well. I have video and photo evidence.

Del Valle, TX

I was taking a video of a lightening storm and a object flew across the video seven seconds into the video. I did not notice this until I viewed the video two days ago. The object at one point I paused the video and it looked like an up side down horse shoe. Another time I stopped the video and it looked like a very large bird that`s going warp speed. It is a rusty metal color. The date was 3/16/23 at 9:33 PM.

Lake Placid, NY

Looked up noticed 3 lights in a staight line formation assumed it was a plane as its in the landing path for airport they went out of view due to tree cover. Drove down road a half mile noticed lights appeared again going on then off left to right and as last of 3 lights went out the sky was completely empty nothing there it was a clear blue evening sky so I was expecting to see some sort of object but there was nothing. I live within 4 miles of sighting about 2 hrs later I saw two fighter jets fly over in the night sky while I was outside with my dog.

El Toro, CA

The cloud formation were so beautiful that day. So I was taking many pictures to show people on my Facebook. While I was taking pictures, I saw a little brown spot in the sky. Later, I enlarge the sky picture with the brown spot in my cell phone to see what that was. When I enlarge the brown spot, I could see the Mechanical cogwheel looking objects behind the clouds. I am a housemaker and I came this mall for shopping. I parked my car at the parking lot and took the pictures at the parking lot. It's not birds, airplane or lights. Does not look like satellite things or space shuttle. I would like to know the answer please.

Uxbridge, ON · Canada

Atop an active ski hill, night sky, 8:30pm, looking south towards Lake Ontario. Massive orb appeared that very rapidly grew in size and brightness to a huge scale, then shot into a near-imperceivable distance, almost like a warp-speed bullet/fireball going into outer space. The trail dissipated almost immediately. This entire event took about 4 seconds. After looking into the starry sky for about a minute, my eyes caught 3 'stars' moving, and I looked at it for about 30 seconds. They were adjacent (1 craft) – seemingly a triangular one. It was 'bending' the light behind it (cloaking) and I know this because I saw the stars 'warping' in the sky behind it (in the background). It was hovering and moving very slowly. I took my eyes off of it for a few seconds, and when I looked back, could not relocate the craft anymore. There was a helicopter or human-aircraft/light flying in the exact direction and vicinity of where these events occurred. I was staring at the sky for so long that, another guest/snowboarder asked me if I'm okay, and I told him what I saw. I could see in his eyes that he was spooked, but he believed me. After some thought, I speculate that whatever the first orb was, was connected to the triangle. The triangle may have been 'ported.' I have no further explanation and as a ufo enthusiast since I was a kid, this is the first-ever encounter I have ever experienced. I'm thrilled but spooked at the same time. I did not sense anything ominous about the craft, other than a totally normal defensive mental state, when I decided to look away out of self-created fear. In fact, the entire thing was beautiful. I truly do think they come in peace – whether they are from here, or elsetime.

Cherryvale, KS

I was driving to the locall convienenve stor and it was almost 8 pm. I seen two strange lights in the sky that were FLYING really low to be aircraft from here. I went into the gas station convienence store and mentioned the object. Several people seen the objects but they thought they were the planets we were suppose to be able to see but I though differently. When I left the gas station I seen it again so I pulled over to a side road and I got out my phone and began recordng. I filmed it for 45 seconds in one video and also two other very short videos. Watching my video play back the lights changed and I don't think they ate planets at all but I don't know what they are! Jupiter and Venus

Coldwater, MI

The 2 glowing orb like objects seem to be connected it is not moving and is to low to ground to be a star or planet 2 to 3 times the size of a star and super bright more than likely man made but I don’t know I have asked some people that know a lot about this stuff and they all said that can’t be star or planets but they have no idea what it is there is a glowing circle around the iteams and my cats are hiding and are hardly coming out.

I noticed two lights in the sky which I watched for minutes then one disappeared, afterwards I took a photo. The shape was difficult to describe but sort of a mix of sphere with jet outs to each side. The photo attached is after I tried to enhance it to see more detail. Jupiter and Venus

2 lights hovering over several cities but not moving at all completely stationary

Farmville, VA

Not fast moving, not straight paths, closet one could clearly see at least 6 lights in round arrangement, but not close enough to tell craft shapes. Unsure of total number, at least 3. Still there 12:45 am, moving in periodic zig zags and other small erratic repositionings. Can't get pictures from phone into your upload file box. Back to watching.

Yorkton, SK · Canada

2 large objects with distinct sides. 3 smaller objects trailing the larger. No movement noticed while watching. The larger ones appeared to be octagonal. They were gone after half hour. Large ones appeared white bright but smaller ones had some green in them. My spouse spotted them first and alerted me so I brought my cell to record them. He is a local DMD. I am a visual artist. We are in our 60s and have lived here for over 30 years. Jupiter and Venus
