Weatherford, TX
I was driving home from work and heading down my street when I saw a big green ball in the sky streak across the clouds and disappear into them. It was meteor fast, but seemed to be in the clouds, which obscured the sky in that direction. I was facing northeast, towards Fort Worth. I live just south of Weatherford, TX. It was much larger than an airplane light and was noticeably green. I am a hospital pharmacist working a 2:30-11 pm shift. It was so bright that it caught my attention. I’ve never seen anything like that before.

Mooresville, IN
I saw a yellow/orange orb in the clearing, off in the distance, traveling south to north. It did not seem to be moving very fast horizontally (about the speed of a plane) but it was zig-zagging vertically fairly fast. Almost like it was bobbing back and forth. It also seemed to get brighter and dimmer as it moved. I stared at it for a few seconds and then told my boyfriend to come and look. I walked into the front yard to get a better look and by the time he got to were he could see it, it was gone. Approximately 10-15 seconds total to cross the clearing and go behind more trees. I told him what I saw and he joked with me that I was making it up. We went back and sat down on the porch for a few minutes before I saw another yellow/orange orb following the same path as the previous one. This one was a bit smaller, about half the size as the first. This one did not seem to be zig-zagging but was slowly flashing like the first one. Also, it was traveling in more of a slight arc, or uphill angle than a straight line. I went back into the yard and my boyfriend quickly followed. Just as I looked back into the sky there was a 3rd yellow/orange orb of light with the same characteristics as the 2nd one. It was following the 2nd one but was traveling lower. These 2 were moving just slightly faster than the 1st one and were not as bright. We went back and sat on the porch and talked about what we saw. Not long after that we started noticing there was a lot of air traffic above us. We live near an airport so it's not unusual to hear and see planes but they typically follow the same path each time, just a hair west of our home. We saw planes in every direction for probably 20 minutes, including a couple helicopters. The first 5 minutes it was like they were coming and going from all directions. It almost seemed dangerous. We saw at least 10 planes in that 5 minutes. Then we could tell a few of them started just going in circles/ovals. There was one to the south that seemed to be moving fast and in tight ovals. It looked like a plane but I'm not sure if a commercial plane could turn that fast. It could have been a helicopter. After the initial 5 minutes of chaos there was a loud roaring that sounded like it was right over our house. It was louder than any plane we've ever heard go past in the 6 years we've been here. It sounded exactly how you would think a flying saucer would sound when its hovering over you and about to abduct you! You could feel a vibration in the air and in your body. It lasted around 5 seconds. I ran out in front of the house as soon as it stopped and saw a normal looking plane following the normal path to the airport. It was just very odd. Everything just died down after that and there was no air traffic.

Coronation (Canada), AB · Canada
Looked out window to the east to see if Mars was up yet. Sky clear, very few clouds, rising full moon. Faint spherical "cloud" one half size of full moon catches my attention. It's moving steadily south to north about 30 degrees above the eastern horizon. With binoculars it appeared green/gold in colour. Gave all the appearance of a glowing translucent sphere. The halo was circular and slightly brighter at the edges. There were no distinct or sharpe edges. It looked more like glowing gas than a solid structure. Within the sphere was an indistinct brightness just up from centre with a little brightness extending to the top of the sphere. Details appeared even less distinct as it moved and lowered towards the northern horizon.

Florence, CO
As the sun was setting on the western horixon, a bright white sphere was noted moving very fast passing under the sun. The sphere was extremely bright white surrounded by an orange glow. It was only visable for 5 to 7 seconds as it was traveling very rapidly.

There were 2 black nonmetalic spheres locked in place with each other. Looking closer at them would reveal multiple objects of the same shape.

Rochester, NY
Clear day, early morning, noticed a strange occurrence outside 4th floor apartment window. Two objects, at a fairly high altitude, were moving horizontally across the sky, zig-zagging between other and disappearing and reappearing suddenly. They appeared as lights or orbs, with perhaps some iridescence, and moved quickly across the sky and out of our sight line. There was no noise and the movements were quick and light, not like any drones or similar technology witnessed before. The second witness ran downstairs to identify the objects closer, at first they only saw one object. It seemed to appear and disappear, and it started going towards a newly visible second object, then both sort of faded off into the same direction, and disappeared from sight. They had remained in the sky for several minutes before fading off as well.

Tom Bean, TX
Over the dense country area above the two towns of Tom bean and Van Alstyne, Texas I observed three separate orbs clustering in one spot in the sky then departing in similar patterns until they disappeared. One was a red orb mimicking a tower beacon light, started changing colors and portraying patterns in its strobe like fashion flashing then to solid red again as it left the area of the tower, the second orb stayed bright white with little strobing events and scouted in another direction from the red tower light. And the third orb was slowly pulsing drifting slowly across the night sky and began to get lower and closer to the car,. As I was driving towards it I flashed my lights on and off at the orb. It seemed to drive towards me and when I turned my lights off the orb disappeared. This orb stayed a bright white light and floated close to the light tower, as if each orb was mimicking the lights it saw around them and then changing as they flew away.

Oshawa, ON · Canada
At approximately 22:25hrs. on Sun. Aug.30,2020 was outside talking to a family member on the phone in the south end of Oshawa, Ontario, where I live and is within 5 min. walk to Lake Ontario. My neighborhood is in a direct line for small aircraft traveling from W. to E. with low altitudes between 3,000ft-12,000ft. E. to W. corridor for small craft fly a few km's to the North of City. Commercial flights use same corridors but at altitudes of 20,000ft - 35,000ft. (Occasional Police & Search/Rescue Heli's w/ powerful searchlights can be seen flying low near Lake Ontario's coast in all directions) Weather on this night is clear with a near full-moon coming around from the East and no clouds visible in the West over the Lake at that time. I noticed what appeared to be the usual small aircraft traffic coming from W.-E. A small plane at approx. 3,500ft-5,000ft. with standard flashing night-time lights. I then spotted another craft flying in the same direction roughly 1,000ft to the north and approx. 500ft-1,000ft lower than the first and did not appear to be in dangerous proximity to each other although unusually close in my experiences watching planes. Also, I took notice of the first craft maneuvering away in a lazy South-East direction to put some more distance between them which also told me that the pilot had most probably seen it and took avoidance measures. I could not identify what kind of craft the second lower flying one was. It was over Lake Ontario, traveling West to East and flew about as fast as the other at first but its speed varied at times, slowing or speeding up but also making altitude adjustments, up and/or down with no rhyme or reason. It was circular in shape, like a very large orb. I couldn't be sure of its size due to not having a reference such as clouds for scale, but seeing the other craft taking proximity avoidance maneuvers and comparing both, I would estimate that it was at least the same size or 50% larger than what may have been a Cessna. I ruled out a drone due to its size and speed. The strange thing about this unknown craft was its color and what it was doing. It was as bright as a flood-light but a deep, deep red. It pulsated in brightness with almost translucent properties. I immediately thought of those 'Chinese Lanterns' but also ruled them out when I realized that the pulses of red light had a specific frequency and did not 'flicker.' The pulsating 'Orb' went from really, really bright, would dim a bit then pulsate brightly again and again. This happened for almost 3 t0 5 minutes while I watched completely gobsmacked. I even hung up on my sister to go get my binoculars in the house. It was still there when I came back out but was not able to focus on it before it pulsed a few last times then suddenly just stopped and disappeared. I searched all over that area with my binoculars under clear skies and a near-full moon. Did not see it again but it bothered me enough to google this web page and report what I had seen. Hope this account doesn't mak! e me seem like an idiot and hope I didn't overdo it. Thx.

Tacoma, WA
@ approximately 5:30pm, Friday, August 30th, Tacoma WA, the following occurred. - A loud sound of birds chattering in the tall pines caused me to investigate my home backyard. Upon stepping out to see why, the group of maybe 100+ birds got even louder. Almost like the sound of a loud creek or river. As I walked up to examine why, Many orbs ascended slowly out of the tops of the trees. They were *very* close and I could see them well. Each orb was about the size of a soccer ball. Every sphere resembled a soap bubble, except they were all perfectly uniform, perfectly sphere, crystal clear. As the swarm rose higher, the group of about 30 orbs began to form two seperate clusters. They then became either much more reflective of the sun at a higher altitude, or, they possibly began to emit their own bioluminescence or possibly mechanical light; as they became much brighter as opposed to translucent. Once they had achieved an altitude at about twice the height a drone would fly, the objects then began doing 'maneuvers', and forming geometric shapes and patterns such as triangles, 90°angles etc. By the time myself and a second witness ran inside to grab a better camera and return, the sighting was over.

I watch this video live as I was awoken to the notification from Arlo. I recorded a little bit of it but it went on for about 10 minutes. As soon as I prayed, it’d zoomed out of the way, coincidentally or not, and never returned. The night before that, there was something else that looked like a spirit or something that walked across path in same location. In all of our years w/ cameras, we have never seen anything like this -only wildlife- let alone back to back in two nights.

Bright round light moved in and out of focus turn side to side. Once it was closest it hovered in one place. After about 10 minutes of stillness the ibhext disappeared. When the others was in sky it lit the sky like a bright full moon. Complete darkness was left after it disappeared. We have 3 minutes of video.

While I was talking on the phone with a friend I looked out my window to the east and saw a glowing, possibly transparent, yellow orange ball of light hovering about one or two miles away. From my point of view it was about half the size of a penny. When I went out to my front balcony to get a better look it was gone.

White orbs appeared beyond trees nne an moved south across the lake. There were between 10-20 and seemed to move in a formation that seemed fast and slow. Could see the going orbs for 3-5 minutes. Rain was falling moderately.

My son told me he could see a huge bright light in the sky out of his bedroom window left of the moon. There were no stars out, so he was a bit curious and asked me to go look at it. I could definitely see what he meant and it was large and brighter then anything else. From what I could see it looked was an orb that had an aura around it. I pulled out my phone to take some pictures and 1 video. The object seemed to move a little, but mostly stood still in the sky. It stayed there for about 6 minutes and then faded and was gone. I was unsure of what I just witnessed until my son and I reviewed the images. The images clearly depict how much brighter this thing was then anything else in the sky. It also shows the object illuminating light from it. When reviewing the video you can see what seems to be a circle within a circle moving or pulsating. It’s quite amazing! I was in the Air Force and grew up near McGuire, so I am very familiar with what planes & helicopters look like at night. This did not move and did not make any noise. I have the footage to prove what we saw and I would like to find out more. I hope others in the area also witnessed this event.

like a bright star but in full daylight, pulsating at very slow and random rate, the object almost static, very slow motion (maybe a metal object in orbit with part of his surface shining and most of it not light reflective in an unbalanced spinning), very very high

1 orange egg shaped object in the eastern sky. Stayed in one place for the approximately 2 minutes I observed, then disappeared at an incredible speed to the east.

Sitting on my front bench outside my house looking up listening to music. A glowing white orb at cloud level zips from the East to the West right above me doing a long serpentine formation westwards until it disappeared beyond the clouds.

Indianapolis, IN
There was a power failure around my block, so with the family we went outside to enjoy more of the fresh air... I took my binoculars (50x10) perhaps to show the kids airplanes, Jupiter and some stars. We are south of the Indianapolis International Airport, so usually there's a lot of light pollution, light pollution was still plentiful however there was a flight coming from south towards the airport and I asked my son to have a look with the binoculars. As the flight passed right on top of our heads I noticed this very bright light approaching from North East (over 2 o'clock if pointing North). I excitedly asked my son that was using the binoculars to look at it (wife, sons and little daughter were there), few seconds later I got the binoculars. When looking this object (roughly at the brightness of Jupiter) I didn't see any blinking light or discernible light, so I thought it could have been the ISS, I have seen it before, but with a 10 times magnification is a bit squarish (I have seen it before). I asked my elder daughter to pass me her phone so that I could check the ISS using her data, but to my surprise it was on an orbit to South America, hence, I'm writing this. When I checked the phone the time was 9:56 PM, thus my reported time is approximated, if possible to trace that airplane passing overhead the time would be found precisely. 15 minutes later there was another less bright UFO (I call it such because I checked it with binoculars and was not a plane), this was from the direction of the airport towards South. On addition, I have seen an object following the same path before, but not this bright. And few minutes later the same will go in the other direction... sincerely they seem too bright to be satellites. At this main one I'm reporting I'm pretty sure was way too bright. After the second UFO my wife started complaining about me being too excited and noisy, and told me that she has seen it multiple times once even during the day, just a light, same direction.

Myrtle Point, OR
The object was traveling too fast for known aircraft, yet too slowly for a meteorite. It had a bluish hue around the object. I fully expected the object to crash land past the ridge near my residence. I did not hear any sound emitting from the object, nor did I hear the sound of an impact.

Astoria, NY
At approx 1400 (2pm) I witnessed one craft moving very slowly high in the sky (I'm guessing higher than 30,000 feet) looking northward at about an 80 degree angle from Astoria, Queens, NYC. The object moved very slowly to the west and was intermittently obscured by clouds. It seemed to glow with changing intensity. I was able to take video of the event and point it out to several passersby while observing it. When I reviewed the video, I noticed a second craft to the right of the one I had been observing and had missed while watching initially. I've submitted screen shots of the video to this site. I'll be submitting the video once I can clip it and make it shorter for email submission.

Lexington, KY
In two weeks, one single flashing light has appeared nearly in the same location-center of town over UK Campus. I am "drawn/compelled" to step outside to observe this orb-like shape flash 3-4 different colors, strobe and make quick, small changes in location. I reported on one sighting; invited a visiting friend to step out for a 2nd sighting I "felt" (verifiable); and same tonight, alone. Appears to be same craft. Note: huge upsurge in helicopter activity recently, as well.

Pulling into my subdivision after dark, I observed 4-5 green glowing round lights, about golf ball size or slightly bigger, near some brush by a pond in a field across from our home. These lights were scattering around in close vicinity to one another and in no particular pattern. When I slowed down to see what it could be, the lights zipped off into different directions, almost acting confused at which way to go, with one zooming across the front of my car about 25-30 ft at a speed that I can't even put into words. It zoomed by faster than anything I have ever seen in my life. The light itself was also like something I have never seen, as it was round in shape and very bright yet slightly translucent at the same time. As the one particular ball of light, which I feel could be classified as an orb, that chose to head across the street in my direction, it left a bright green, and not completely straight streak behind it due to how fast it was traveling. (I a! m estimating about 20-30ft long). I turned my head as it passed in front of my car to track where this light going and it just disappeared. All of this happened within a matter of a few seconds. The other lights all zipped into different directions and only seemed to go about 10ft or so before disappearing into an open field. There also wasn't any noise. It was dark out, and no one was around or out and about. I even sat there in my car for a few seconds, just trying to wrap my head around what just happened and all was quiet and still. (As an added detail, there is a military base about 20 minutes from our house. All of this was taking place about 10-20ft off the ground).
