On Thursday, September 30, 2021 I was taking the trash out to the end of my driveway. I looked up and saw the big dipper (Ursa Major) in the north sky. In the tail of the constellation I saw what looked like a normal, typical satellite. It was a very bright, single light compared to the other stars in the night sky and it was moving eastward. It was about as bright as Venus appears. I watched it for about 30 seconds. What alarmed me is that I've seen satellites before and they've always moved at a steady rate and in a straight line. This, however, was not moving in a straight line. While it was moving east, it was also moving up, then down, then up again, then straight east, etc. It was almost like it was moving like a waveform, but it was not a constant pattern. It was more like a heartbeat waveform. After about 30 seconds, I went to the house and asked my wife if she wanted to see a satellite. I went back outside and it was still there. I viewed it for about 15 more seconds until the time that my wife arrived outside. Upon her arrival, I took my eyes off of the light in the sky. When I looked back up, it was gone. She never witnessed it. I saw it for a total viewing time of about 45 seconds. The overall time that it was in the sky from when I saw it until it was gone was about 1 total minute (deduct 15 seconds for when I walked away). There was nothing in the way like trees or buildings that would have caused me to not see it any more. As I'm writing this, it's been about 45 minutes since the viewing and it gives me chills to think about - I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime. So much so that it made me want to report it. Thank you for your time.

It was incredible, and due to the latest testemony of capitol hill, decided to file this report. We were sunbathing, when an orb/light hovered in front of us….then changed direction instantly. It hovered again for a while, then faster than I've ever seen anything, shot off into the distance….instintaniously.

On the night of September 27, 2021 I was going on a night drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was just me in the car. I accessed the Parkway at Aho Gap, which is milepost 288, and drove south towards Linville. I left at 10:00 p.m. and was home by 10:40. I will acknowledge now that this was a normal time for me to be up and active. I work second shift at a hotel and am usually up until midnight or until 1 a.m. I do not know at what specific point I saw the three red lights, I just remember looking straight ahead and seeing them. I remember I passed Cone Manor (milepost 294) and Julian Price Park (milepost 297) and saw the lights before the Linville Viaduct (milepost 304). The lights were large in diameter and had an aura around them that was the same color. I initially thought they were the lights of the radio tower of Black Mountain (around milepost 342.2), which can be seen on the side of a mountain far ahead. However, these lights were straight ahead of my car. I remember thinking, “That’s weird, I’ve never seen them straight in front of me before.” I was also not on the Parkway long enough to be anywhere near the radio tower lights. It would take me over an hour to reach them going 30-35 mph and I was only on the Parkway for roughly 40 minutes. That includes the return time. But I did not think much of it beyond that, until I went out again the next night with my sister. Not much further ahead, the lights disappeared and then they were right outside my car. They appeared between the front passenger side window and the right side of my windshield, and I was above the road. It felt like I was driving above them (not directly above, but to the left, since I could see the lights through the front right windows of my car), and then I was turned around on the Parkway to head back in the direction of Aho Gap. It is difficult to describe this part. I wrote down everything that happened when I got home so I would not have to rely on memory. However, this event is hard to describe because when I was at an overlook that I did not pull into (Grandmother Overlook, milepost 307.4) I could not remember turning into it. Whenever I tried to remember, I just got flashes of driving over the red lights. Since I was facing the direction home (north), I decided to return home. It felt later than it was, I could have sworn I got home after 11 p.m. and closer to midnight, but I texted my sister when I got home and I was home at the latest by 10:40 p.m. I thought it was my own decision to turn around at that point and head home, so I did. On the way back, I was not sure which way I was driving. I knew I turned out of Grandmother Overlook but I could not tell if I was driving towards home or away from it. I frequently drive the Parkway, even at night, and I always drive south since I am more familiar with that direction and I can easily recall how much farther until I can turn down Aho Road (via Aho Gap). The frequency of which I drive the Parkway is anywhere from two to four nights a week from June to October. Even when I reached Julian Price Park, I had to think and remind myself if it was always on the left side of the road when I return home (it is). I felt calm during all of this on the night of the 27th. However, I saw faces in the trees that looked like the typical greys, but their faces were stretched. I thought my eyes were tired and I was making faces out of nothing, so I moved my eyes around and the faces were still there. I looked directly at one, since if it is difficult to make something out clearly from my peripheral vision and I look directly at it I will see it for what it is. But the faces were still there, they were not made out of the leaves in the trees, they were superimposed on the leaves. I was calm on the way home but felt like there was someone in my car. I do not know if that feeling is relevant to answering anything about what happened that night, or if it paints a bigger picture. I just wanted to get this somewhere where someone might know what to do with it, because I cannot get the experience out of my head. I have also attached images that I drew to better explain it and document it without relying on memory alone. The images were drawn on September 29th, since I did not think twice about what happened two days before, until I was on the Parkway with my sister on September 28th. It was not until that second night out that I realized it would have been impossible for me to have driven anywhere near the Black Mountain Radio Tower in 20 minutes. I drew the initial sight of the three lights, then I drew what it looked like when they were by my car, and then I drew what I saw on the way home. The last picture disappeared but I was able to redraw it; it is from memory but it is stuck in my head. Take it as you will, but all of the written events I wrote down on the 28th after I realized something was not adding up.

While driving westbound on I-80 I observed an aircraft in what seemed like chasing a small light. The light flashed bright and disappeared so I pulled out my camera. When the camera focused the light reappeared into view and looked like it was keeping distance from the aircraft before disappearing from view a final time.

Bartlett, NH
I was leaving a rented condo for a trip back to work in the Boston area. There is a procedure to that for leaving: Making sure I'm cleaning up after a quick breakfast, shutting off water and heat, etc. Upon departure I checked the north facing deck on the ground floor for signs of my stuff and looking at the weather. Dark outside at 5:30. Planning to leave at six. Cloudy conditions with a cloud base probably at 3500 feet, which obscures mountain tops in the area. Looking across the river valley (Saco), there was a dense mist, cloudy fog. Between the layers was a bright red light. I had on 2.5 cheater glasses, and went back in to get a 1.00 glasses. I noticed another dim light breaking to the R of the 1st. It increased in brilliance to the same intensity. Both hovered over Rt 302. two minutes to the same intensity. Then a 3rd, same increase over two min. watched for minutes, and then they winked out slowly. I've never seen anything but bright ! white lights there at an intersection BELOW that area.

I spotted a bright light, round that probably went through a cloud or was behind that cloud that was bigger than the stars / airplanes. It began to form this kind of light under it (as seen in the video). I ran into my bedroom to get my phone, i was kinda shocked to see this object. The object started to kinda float down, it didnt shaked or made any sounds, i heard absolutely nothing!, until it disappeared behind the house on the other side of my balcony. Im not a scammer, its not edited or anything! I began to film it. Please watch the video and try to find an explanation for it. Maybe i just shot something important for your research, maybe its a natural phoenomenon or just something earthly.

Still bright light or chrome object was seen in the sky. Seemed fairly close and low. 2 minutes later a second one appeared. 8 minutes later they zipped off quickly behind a cloud. No sound was heard.

On this night I was out on my back deck having an evening cigarette. I was stargazing as I often do and was looking straight up at the constellation Cignus when I saw a very bright bluish light. It was about the size of 4 average stars clumped together as seen from the earths surface. It appeared in one place then disappeared then the same light appeared about 2 degrees to the east. I was facing north. If it was the same object it was moving extremely fast. Much faster than a meteor entering the earths atmosphere. Then it was gone. The night was clear , about 50* with no wind. What I saw was there and was not a reflection or a plane or helicopter. I live under a flight path and see aircraft all day. This, if it was a craft, is something I’ve never seen.

We saw a solid white light moving very fast. It looked like it was quite far up. I tried recording it (forgot to press the button) and when I zoomed in 10X on my phone cam, it looked like a spinning top (like 1 smaller round on top of a bigger round). When zoomed in, it also looked like it is spinning around it's own axis. It also looked like the motion (spinning) is creating the light. It was traveling from west to north-east.

Over a couple of days a strange green light kept appearing in the sky. Found it weird it was the same spot that I previously seen a UAP a year ago from this incident. My brother and I were in contact about it for 2-3 days, about a strange light in the sky. He live about a mile or two away from me. Seeing the similar thing. On the second or third day I took a picture of it. In the photo it came out blue, but in reality it was green. Maybe has something to do with the phone lens.

We seen three lights moving in fast formations above the apartment across from us. They were at first in a straight line but very quickly moved into a triangle formation. They were moving very fast in perfect formation of a triangle. The triangle was spinning in a circle but staying in unison almost perfectly from what we could tell. Then the lights went dim until my camera could not register them and the night sky went black and about two minutes ago they reappeared as I'm typing this . There's no way a plane or helicopter could move like what I seen . I have a short video too but it isn't very clear. The light just went out out of nowhere one at a time . Idk how to explain it .

Looking due west from north end of city, aprox. 30 deg. above horizon. Bright red light with flashing white light, object was stationary for about 5 seconds. Grabbed a pair of binoculars from table, I had been bird watching earlier in the day so they were handy. It only took a couple of seconds to grab binocs., but object was gone. Two people saw similar object about a month prior, same time of night, same location in sky. Object was bright red light, with flashing blue and white light alternating. It was stationary for about two minutes then headed north at a very rapid speed .

At 10:10 pm I walked outside, scattered clouds in sky. Clouds were moving slowly sideways. Behind the cloud above my head were 3 circular lights moving erratically, up and down, side ways, etc. almost playing tag. They only remained behind the cloud. Lasted about 15 minutes. The cloud drifted far to the right and they stayed behind the cloud. Read previous sightings and ironically found this post that was just like my experience. I have a few videos I will submit. (previous post that was like my experience: ccurred : 7/31/2021 21:15 (Entered as : 07/31/21 21:15) Reported: 7/31/2021 10:03:02 PM 22:03 Posted: 8/16/2021 Location: El Dorado, CA Shape: Light Duration:15 min Unexplained lights in the sky, moving erratically and quickly right and left, up and down I noticed a strange light up in the sky that seemed to be moving very erratic, quickly back and forth, up and down. I called my husband out to look. We stood there for maybe 15 minutes, and within that time there were several more lights just like it on the right and left of the main one that we spotted first. It is a cloudy night so they were moving in a out of clouds. These things were not moving like an airplane at all. They were very erratic, back and forth, up and down. After about 15 minutes my husband and I went back in house)

I watched a ball of light that had a aura of light blue light glowing around it come down fast at 45 degree angle with very small comet like tail it swooped like a Nike symbol stopped 4,000 ft up or so started glowing even brighter then it took off over top of Chinese peak mountain. 5 minutes later I look over and it’s either landed or hovering just above the mountain rite next to a bunch of antennas on the mountain glowing super bright an now had a glowing fireball of light to the side of it. About 10 mins went by of it pulsing glowing. Then all the sudden glowing balls dimmed out and 6 to 8 helicopters with green lights on them popped up out of no where they must have came from other side of mountain they went back and forth in the general area of where the ufo was sitting for less then 5mins then all helicopters took off in line formation to the west but the odd thing was I did not hear a single helicopter I was watching them fly around multiple helicopte! rs but did not hear any noise at all. It was rather odd contact me via email if needed

We began to ask everyone what they thought it was and people just gathered off as the launch because they had heard there was a launch that night. Unbeknownst to them the launch hadn't even started.

Sitting down facing east. To the emirate left ( North ) at 10 oclock these lights entered the atmosphere, traveled to the right ( South ) until at a 1 o'clock position the exited the atmosphere, ( or vanished ). In a straight line they followed each other at the same speed. They were in sequence 1-2. the 3-4, then 4-3 of them together. It looked a lot like Tracer Fire going across the sky.. No Sound. They were as bright as an aircraft is seen at 46,000 feet at 10:00pm.

Two lights hovering in close proximity, one larger than the other. Smaller one emitting “puffs” that appeared as clouds as it maneuvered slowly and deliberately underneath the larger light. Both lights gently and slowly decreased altitude while dimming and eventually receded behind their self-generated mist as they aligned closer together.

My husband and I were looking eastward in the sky. It was approximately 8 or 9 pm. Suddenly four bright lights appeared in the sky. They appeared from nowhere and were very bright and big - about a third to a half the size that the full moon would appear in the sky. The lights wavered somewhat and they each appeared to be a slightly different color. Then they wavered and then lights went out. There was no noise of any kind to indicate aircraft. The lights were present for about six seconds. We discussed what we had seen and we both saw the same thing. I later told a friend about it and she said her friend had seen the same thing over Cloudcroft New Mexico about 23:00 hours.

Temple Terrace, FL
I witnessed multiple strange white lights moving above me, in cloud cover on the evening of 09-12-2021 in the city of Temple Terrace, Florida (East of Tampa, Florida). I had gone to run on the track of a local middle school around 10:30 pm. I noticed the lights over ahead of me while I was running and for about 15 minutes afterwards. There were at least 4-5 white lights moving and zipping around rapidly in the sky above, sometimes in formation, but more often not in formation. I decided to record the lights, and as I was recording, an airplane came right through the area where the lights were. The lights were zooming and zigzagging around the aircraft, which continued flying East to West. The plane is a steady moving red light in the video and I could see the white lights moving around the plane. I did not hear any sounds other than the plane engine. I will be attempting to send video separately.

I was skating to 711 when I looked up and noticed what looked like a comet or something with a faint oval shaped ring of light around it. When I looked closer I noticed it wasn't moving and was sitting stationary. I looked at it for about 45 seconds when it started floating away and I realized it was hovering directly above the neighborhood less than a few hundred feet up. The ring around it disappeared once it flew off so I think it was an outline of the craft that I only saw because of the lighting or something. When it flew away I thought it was a plane or helicopter or something but it was way too fast and was making all of these u turns and zigzag. I watched it fly over the horizon in less than a minute. I took a video of it but it is really faint and it just looks like a star or a plane. I have a galaxy s9 and the camera isn't great for night shots so I could barely see it once I looked at the video. I have always wanted to see something like this and I expected it to be much more exciting. It was pretty awesome to see but I almost didn't even believe I saw it and assumed it was something easily explained until I thought about it for a while and talked to a buddy about it.
