Rossburg, OH
While driving home from football game with my high school teen. I noticed out in front to the right of my car a goldfish bright light. My guess at least 3,000 feet up. I felt strange about it but continued on down our road. We were about a 100 feet before our drive way when I spotted the light in the air in front of my vehicle. It suddenly stopped and came slowly controlled down to eye level of my vehicle. It stopped hovered above the road. I’m not sure how long we sat their without speaking. I slowly turned my head to my daughter and stated are you seeing this or am I nuts. She states I see it. I look around thinking this is a joke right. This thing to my best guess was 3 to 5 feet in diameter. Bright and glowing! I’m thinking in my head it’s got to be a drone. But I live in the middle of nowhere on a farm. Who would have a drone. I’m not sure how long it was in front of us but it all of a sudden just like that it snapped and disappeared! I’m not sure how to explain that part. My daughter will not speak of this. The next day I walked the spot where we saw this not sure what I was looking for but I found nothing. I’m reporting this because honestly I can’t get it out of my mind. I replay it over in my head often and just needed to share this. I’m not sure if it’s even worth reporting. Thanks for letting me share this.

My son and I witnessed a craft moving right in front of us as we were already looking at the incredible full moon in October 2021. Craft was photographed as well as video.

Springfield, MO
At 6:20 am I let my dogs out. It is a very clear morning. The stars are very visible and clear. I look up every morning to check the stars and sky out. Today, I looked up and saw a star-sized object moving at a very high rate of speed. It zig-zagged. I first thought it was my imagination the way it zig-zagged. I kept watching, and no doubt, it was zig-zagging, like it was avoiding objects in its path. As I watched, it disappeared into the dark sky as if it was climbing higher. It was visible for maybe, 3 minutes. It looked just like a star.

When I witnessed the light moving erratically, the first thought was it had to be a drone but it didn't appear to make any sound. From my experience, even drones make a whirring as their propellers rotate at high rpm. I took out my phone and started recording anyway just in case it wasn't a drone. At one point, the lights changed to green and red. At one point it picked up enough speed that it looked like a tiny comet and then slowed again. I recorded it until I lost it behind my house. My plan was to start a new video when I got further out into my yard where there were no obstructions but it was gone.

Aventura (N.Miami Beach), FL
Tonight walking along the water outside my Condo property looking toward the Northwest, I noticed a very bright “star” that caught my attention because I live in a light polluted area where stars are not usually visible. This “star” was steady, too bright, and remained in the same location in the sky. As I was wondering about it, the “star” started a series of “bursts.” From a steady, very bright illumination, its bursts were clearly visible but not as bright. It then would return to being a steady, very bright light until the next series of bursts. I got out my camera to take a picture but kept missing the bursts so I switched to video. In the video you can see the bursts. Although I tried to keep the camera steady, the movement in the video is the camera, not the “star,” which remained steady. The only movement I could discern were the bursts.

New York City, NY
On the evening of October 15, 2021 and previous evenings, I notice a hovering white round shape light with no movement and no sound over the Hudson River. This object has been viewable from my apt window on W. 60th and Columbus Avenue when I look in a south and slightly west direction. Also, the object just disappears and doesn't fly off.

Osterville, MA
I saw this flashing light in the sky to the north east flashing and darting around, it was a crystal clear night, October 14; 2:02 am is when I started recording…I have a video of the light in the sky, it’s extremely convincing, the light shows rotation and movement when zoomed in. It’s really pretty unbelievable I caught this. I watched it for almost 3 minutes and it was gone, no sound whatsoever. It almost looks like a triangle at the beginning of the video. I would love to send you the video. You can hear the tree toads and crickets, it was a gorgeous night. I was just returning from fishing the last of the stripe bass run. That’s when I saw the light. I have no clue what it is. It’s not like anything I have ever seen in the sky and it was really bright. All the stars were out..god how can I send you the video?

At approximately 7:15 PM on October 12, 2021 a blinking or pulsating green light was observed just below the Moon. That evenings Moon was a Waxing Crescent, The illuminated fraction of the Moon surface was about 43%. The object was observed in the southern sky just below the Moon for about three minutes.

Corona, CA
It was around 10:30pm and as I went to look outside my window, I live in the hills and noticed a large round shape ufo craft that was flashing several different colors moving quickly from one side of the dark sky to another. It appears there where more than one flying object in the sky much smaller and where not as bright as the main craft I took video as proof

Lubbock, TX
I saw a UFO/ORB blinking in the sky while moving around before staying lit and moving closer to me after flashing my cell phone light at it before it shot into the sky on 9/29/21 and have been going outside to skywatch as much as possible. I was outside staring into the sky, I turned my head around to another part of the sky and as soon as I did, a very low and extremely bright white light lit up as it was flying across the sky. It stayed lit for about 6 seconds before turning off like a light switch. It was the brightest thing in the sky and as I mentioned, very low, the same altitude as the first sighting, about the height local helicopters fly. No noise what so ever. For some reason, this time it freaked me out and I went inside. I feel like a crazy person.

Longville, MN
My friend and I where in a fishing boat on Leech Lake in central Minnesota at 8:40pm. It was a clear night, and I was commenting to my friend how clear you could see the stars. I looked straight up, and noticed what I though was a satellite, and told my friend to look up. It looked like a satellite that was traveling pretty fast to the South East. We both noticed that the object was traveling in a zip zag motion, then it stopped, and started going in the opposite direction, then switched back heading South East until it disappeared into the horizon. It moved like nothing we've ever seen before, and was way too high to be a drone.

Derby, VT
8 discs of red lights flying across Northern sky from the east. There was no sound and the red lights were very bright - there were 2 or 3 in sky at once. At a certain point in the North, they would just disappear - like the lights had been turned off. Then another one would come from the east and do the same thing.

Austin, TX
As I was driving home in the evening on Friday night I saw a blinking light in the sky. It was stationary and had the appearance of an air plane's blinking lights. I watched it as sometimes airplanes look as if they are stationary. It didn't move at all for 2.5 minutes until it stopped blinking and glowed a solid green color for about 5 seconds and shot strait down towards the ground like a bolt of lightning. I thought if there is a person over there behind those trees on the horizon they just got an amazing show.

Bridgeport, CT
I was walking back to my car with my girlfriend and my family when she pointed out something in the sky. I look up and I see two amber/orangish looking lights that are in line with each other. They were moving quite fast and the there was no blinking like an airplane does. They were silent as well. They then turn and go a different direction before disappearing in in the sky/clouds. They became harder to see because it seemed they were now flying away from us. My family also saw the lights!

Through binoculars appeared to rotate or flash different colors. No sound, but appeared to be several miles away. Stayed aloft too long for a drone.

Burbank, CA
Was trying to take a video of a lightning storm from my backyard. A faint disk of light shoots from left to right. It disappears behind a cloud and then can barely be seen coming out the other side. A second very bright, larger light follows slightly lower in the sky shortly after. The lights aren’t drones and are not lightning. I’m not sure what they could be as they are very low in the sky and the view is partially obstructed by a tree.

Garden Grove, CA
At approximately 7:21PM, during a heavy lightning show, which is quite unusual for California, we experienced an oblong glowing streak traveling horizontally which we believe to be a UFO for the duration of approximately 4 seconds. It appeared to be traveling from the south to the north. While I’ve had 40+ years of flying experience with my father who piloted a private aircraft, this is something I’ve never seen before, while at an unusually low altitude and very fast speed. Good video, but anomalous light may be a lens flare, caused by a car headlight. PD

Sarasota, FL
Our power was out so we went to eat dinner on our porch outside facing South. I look at the stars and moon a lot, I think they are lovely. I know there is only one very bright “star” at night I usually see – Venus. Once in a while, I know Mars gets close, but it is never as bright and a slightly different color. We were talking and I looked up and said, “How strange. It looks like there are two of Venus tonight…” My husband looked and we watched for a minute thinking that really they were exactly the same size and close and quite larger than even Venus really ever looks. Never moving, not changing in size at all, not a satellite, not a plane, very bright. Too high in the sky to be anything else. We stared for a coupled of minutes and then they both suddenly started to sim until they disappeared at exactly the same time. We looked at each other and thought what in the world just happened.

Little River, NC
Initially observed what appeared to be a stationary exceptionally bright light above US Hwy 17S in Shallotte NC. The object remained stationary for several minutes, then began moving very slowly along the Highway towards Myrtle Beach, SC. The object remained in the sky, disappeared behind clouds for a few moments then was visible again. Object was still clearly visible overlooking the Intracoastal waterway in Little River, SC. The object appeared to be moving out over the ocean still with a very bright light. The light faded to orange and disappeared within seconds. Sky was rather clear.

Bright orange light (looked as big as Jupiter), drifted/ moved NW to SE, appeared to be low in the sky, and disappeared by fading away.

Lithia, FL
1 Oct 21 approx 1030 pm coming home from hockey game. I saw a bunch of orange lights in the Eastern sky that I thought at first were lights on top of very tall towers coz they pulsed slightly but then I realized there aren't any towers in that direction. They were about the same size maybe 7 or 8. As we rounded the corner I asked my husband what were they and pointed them out . He said maybe planes in formation, because at that point they appeared to be forming a line heading to the west. We stopped the car to listen and see if they were helicopters. 1 flew over us fairly high up but there was not a single sound. The others appeared to turn to the south then disappeared. 1 more started flying in our direction (westerly as did the first). I got out of the car and watched it, heard nothing, then it suddenly disappeared from view before it got overhead. I thought it went behind some clouds, but my husband said that the cloud layer was way too high. I didn't see! it again. The whole thing lasted about 15 minutes.

Belle River (Canada), ON · Canada
Completely clear sky, it’s getting dark early now here and I could already see the stars incredibly. At home I had gone into my backyard, while out there I noticed one of my daughters window shades was still open (the roll up shade kind and her curtains were pulled shut)(my wife was putting our daughters to bed), I turned around to head back inside to close it. On my way back inside I noticed a seriously bright light travelling along from west to east. I thought it was a plane as this is a very common route that I see planes fly all the time, Windsor airport is west of here and the Detroit airport is west of that. I went in to close the roll up shade, my wife told me it broke, (the chain had slipped off, so I took maybe 2-3 minutes to get it back on and said good night to my daughters again. Then I went back outside to do what I originally went there to do. As soon as I went outside I looked up toward the north and that bright light was still travelling along from west to east. I thought that’s weird, the lights are usually only on the front of planes as they head towards me. I typically look at the sky almost every night, especially when it’s clear and you can see the stars. Over the recent years I’ve seen shooting stars, planets, meteor showers, all different kinds of stages of the moon (blood moons recently, they were reported to be due to forest fire smoke and said to be not true blood moons, buck moon (which that same night I saw it, it was like a blood moon and buck moon), and all sorts of other moon stages), satellites, planes, a drone and even a guy flying a chair with one of those big kite surfing kites over him and a big fan on the back… but until now the craziest thing I saw (only two different times) was that Elon star link system. It was creepy, but even that I could rationalize was something because it floats by consistently and the spacing looked strangely perfect, I looked it up and that’s when I learned about what that is. BUT this is why I’m struggling with what I saw, I’m questioning myself wether this is some kind of space x, ! Elon, space force thing that I don’t know about yet. I’m always looking up at the sky, almost every night with the aspirations to spot a UFO or a shooting star, or anything interesting! I love looking at the stars whenever I can, it humbles me. It was weird how bright it was and there was no flashing lights(planes usually always have flashing lights, often green and red) I thought maybe something over the lake (possibly a helicopter doing another search and rescue) …but no. It travelled west to east over Lake St.Clair. A few minutes later it just took off super fast to the east, like a shooting star! There was what looked like a mini explosion, what a firework looks like when it takes off, like some sparks shooting away from where it blasted off from. Then it had like a trail of light following it out into the sky and i noticed it curved at the end. It looked just like what a shooting star looks like when they’re hitting the atmosphere and burning up, like an orange burning glow. It looked like the craft went up to the upper atmosphere and then followed the contour of the earth down and around. It happened in a second, which is one of the main reasons I don’t think it was anything from our planet. I’ve never seen ! anything fly like that before. Also it was silent, no plane noise, no helicopter sound and no boom when it took off either. I kept on checking the sky for several minutes after that and I think I did actually spot a satellite or space junk after that, because there was something else that looked like it was moving way up high, like a lot higher than the UFO light… this one was just black looking and floated by steadily, like a shadow blocking stars, that travelled from south to north.
