Osgood, IN
Seen a light over by or between Piercville Indiana and Milan Indiana at about 10:30 pm Light was on for a few seconds then went off. Light reappeared in sky about 5 to 7 miles west of the original location Over what would be between Napoleon Indiana and Osgood Indiana about 2 minutes after seeing the first set of lights. Not sure if it was the same lights or a different set. Appeared to be the same color and size. Amber like the sun. There was no sound this was out in a rural area very quiet out there. Sky was clear no clouds and seen no airplanes in view. CVG airport would be about 35 miles east of the sighting. Object or Objects just hoovered and then disappeared.

I realized it wasn't a drone or norma aircraft so I stopped My truck and immediately pulled my phone out and took several pics 1 right after another until the object took off. It was there and gone in such short time. I got home and looked at the pics. Each one was different with different things going on. I seen clear transparent looking beings standing down the road..they were standing around something looming at it. Then when they went to leave the main light turned into a steamer of several different lights. In my pics I know I have pics of beings from some where else. Also their ship.

Cape Coral, Fl, MD
We were stopping to get gas before heading home to Maryland. As he was pumping gas, I decided to take pictures of the moon. I was in a rush so I was only looking directly at the moon and snapped two pics. When I came home from vacation, I was reviewing the photos I took and that’s when my daughter and I noticed the ufo’s in the pics. The first photo was taken at 12:33am and has three lights in the formation of a triangle (one yellowish orange, blue, and red) on the right, below the moon. There is one yellow light on the left side, below the moon and if you zoom in, there is two weird patches in the sky in the darkness that is still dark. The second photo taken a min or less apart, now has 6 lights. The three that form the triangle shape are now all the same yellow color. The one light to the left is white/yellow light and the two dark spots now have lights also the same color. It is in the same spot where I saw the weird dark spots in the first photo. The highest light is also the least bright.

Kennett square, PA
Just above the clouds there was a circular light glowing in different colors for at least 15 minutes. The light would change color slowly, evenly transition from blue to purple, purple to red, etc. and it would randomly switch colors immediately, like instantly switch to pink or something. Several times it shut off all together and turned back on after a few moments. It almost looks as though something was angular in the clouds, However it was so cloudy I could only make out likes a couple times. It also appeared to shift quite a few times, moving but not dramatically far or fast, just like pacing around in various directions. I have 2 videos but don’t know where to send them!

Mason, NH
Fast moving object overserved traveling over 30 miles in roughly 10 minutes, smoothly through the sky. Not high altitude so I’m ruling out a satellite. Solid white light. No noise, no flashing lights so I’m ruling out drone or GA. 90 degree sharp turns. Observed flying above Mason, NH into Manchester and then down to the Westford/Groton area. Observed from a location with long distance views and with over 5 witnesses. People stopped their cars and got out to view.

Hello UFO Center, I am very hesitant to report this because I know in our society Aliens are not taken seriously.. It was dark outside and suddenly we heard a noise coming from afar it sounded like a mix between an jet plane and a jet ski. It was really weird and then we saw it in the distance a light, it appeared convex kind of like an old TV. It's hard to explain it was like a convex square. My friend Joeseph agreed with me(he was there) that he saw it too. We felt energy and love come over us.. I am not religious but for a moment I thought it may have been jesus. My friend said Jesus was fake and that it was probably an alien. I thought aliens were hostile but idk I am open minded to the possibility of life outside of humans after this experience.

Plattsburgh, NY
We were on vacation and crossing the ferry from Vermont to Plattsburgh. Saw the light on the ferry while looking at the stars. We could still see it when we got to our hotel. The light mostly was going in one direction, about the same direction the ferry was going in (from Grand Isle VT to Plattsburgh, NY). The light was bright enough to stand out from most stars. What made it strange was it’s erratic behavior. It was stopping and starting, sometimes it would reverse in the opposite direction, but rarely. It would zig zag and change speeds. It reminded me of how electricity / water follows the path of least resistance, or how a drop of water falls down a wall in a shower, sometimes it would slow down and then speed up, etc. The phone camera couldn’t capture it as the object was too far away. I would just like to know if anyone else saw it, because it should be obvious to anyone looking up at the stars that night in the area.

Myrtle Beach, SC
My family and I were walking along the beach with flashlights looking for shells and anything that washed up on the shore. We looked out into the ocean and we saw three orange lights that were lit for 3 to 5 seconds and then dimmed out. One second later, the three lights appeared further down the beach going south. The 3 orange lights appeared brightly again, dimmed out, then didn’t return.

A little after 8pm I was sitting out back smoking a cigarette when a bright light caught my eye. It was directly due south, just above the tree tops. Approximately 1/4 mile away with a great line of sight and perfect view. I could clearly see an incredibly bright white light cascading down into the tree line. It was shaped like a round ball. If I had to estimate it’s size I’d guess roughly 2+ft in diameter judging by the birds that flew in the same spot directly after the incident. It was moving relatively slowly and when it hit the tree line I could no longer see the light. It seemed like the light simply went out. I would say it traveled at roughly a 45 degree angle. It’s hard for me to estimate how high it first started above the trees. Maybe 100 feet? My first thought was meteor due to its brightness. But because of the proximity I knew that didn’t make any sense. I would akin the brightness to a professionally lit baseball stadium light. I don’t even really know how to describe it. I was dumbfounded. But I was even more shocked when maybe a minute or so later the light came back. It was back at the general area where I had first seen it (unless this was a second separate light?). Roughly 100-150ft above the trees (?) But this time as it descended it suddenly moved up in the air. It sort of puffed/floated up maybe 50-75+ feet then descending down into the tree line where it was no longer visible again. I can’t for the life of me think what could emit such a bright light. I hope someone can give me feedback because that will drive me crazy for a while. There was little to no wind. Extremely hot and humid day.

Le témoin et son neveu, sont dans le jardin de son domicile, où se produit l’observation. Vers 3h (heure locale) le 13 août 2021, le témoin aperçoit un point lumineux dans le ciel semblant se déplacer très lentement. Le temps d’avertir son neveu, il s’aperçoit que le point ne bouge plus. Quelques instants plus tard, son neveu remarque lui aussi un point qui, d'après lui, "bouge bizarrement". En effet le point avance un peu, recule, un coup à droite, un coup à gauche, revenant à chaque fois, au même emplacement. Ces mouvements étant quasiment imperceptibles dans le ciel. Le témoin tente de filmer sans résultat. Vers 5h du matin, ils rentrent se coucher. L’observation durera deux heures, par intermittence, les témoins regardant quelques étoiles filantes et autres satellites pendant ce temps. Joint par téléphone le 15 novembre 2021, le témoin déclare à l’enquêteur que c’était un petit point semblant très loin dans le ciel, pas plus gros qu’une étoile, l’enquête à distance détermine que ce point lumineux se trouvait dans un azimut proche des 90°(Est). La consistance est moyenne. L'échange téléphonique avec le témoin a permis de clarifier l'azimut mais pas l'élévation de façon précise. La durée du phénomène (2h) et sa description orientent vers une méprise astronomique. Dans le créneau horaire vers l’Est, le site Stellarium met en évidence un candidat possible : Aldébaran (étoile variable double) pour un azimut allant de 79° à 100° et une élévation de 13° à 35° sur la période 3h-5h. Etant donné que les témoins n'ont pas regardé ce PAN en continu, il est possible qu'ils n'aient pas constaté les variations d'azimut. La magnitude de 0,85 rend Aldebaran moins visible ce qui est cohérent avec "ce point lumineux plus faible qu'une étoile". L'étrangeté perçue par le témoin est due aux mouvements du PAN perçus et décrits "il bouge bizarrement". "En effet, il avançait de peu, reculait, un coup à droite, à gauche mais il revenait toujours au même point." C'est l'effet autocinétique qui est la source de cette étrangeté perçue. Cet effet d’optique est bien connu des astronomes. Il fait apparaître mobile un phénomène lumineux fixe placé dans un milieu pauvre en points de référence, tel un ciel nocturne sombre. voir le lien https://scilogs.fr/raisonetpsychologie/leffet-autocinetique/ . Le GEIPAN conclut à une observation de l’étoile Aldébaran et classe l’observation en A. [GEIPAN classification A — Etoile]

Heat lightning in sky made my husband and I look out window. Seen one single bright light in sky hovering for approximately a minute to minute and a half. Then started flying at a quick rate of speed. Faster than a normal plane. Which the local airport is in our vicinity. No flashing lights like a normal plane. Not a star or moon.

I have 3 dogs and I walk them 1 at a time.At 10:00p.m. in the eastern sky I saw a bright light like a planet was closer to earth. I paid no attention to it when I walked my second dog. When I walked my third dog, that is when it started pulsating, and moved very quickly in a diagonal way, above me. Than it started to change shape, color, and size. It went from this bright white light, to aan orange smaller light, it was moving too slowly to be an airplane and it didn't have the red and green blinking lights. As it was moving north above me, it got as small as a star, and just kept moving slowly. Than it pulsated to red, orange, blue, and within a flash it shot out of the sky like a shooting star.

Sunday nite I went to the store. I came back from hwy60 driving south on my road. When I got past our neighborhood entryway and almost to the first street, I started seeing bright red lights flying across the sky, ahead of me, flying east to west. It looked like red lights on planes. I saw several going by in a group. I thought it was probably a bunch of helicopters. Not flying high up like jets but above the tree line, maybe lower than planes, like helicopters. I have seen the sheriff flying 5 or 6 helicopters all together coming back from the south coming back to tampa a few times before. Like some kind of training trips. But the lights were bright red, and not blinking and no other lights anywhere else, just bright red ball of light. Not like a helicopter or plane has. But as I kept coming south, I saw more and more. At least 15 to 20. I knew it couldnt be planes or helicopters. And they werent in any pattern, just bunches of red lights flying across the sky. Pretty fast. Not like a helicopter, and was going upwards not like a plane would be flying straight. They were pretty close to me, maybe within a mile. It was about 8:06pm There was a man walking on the sidewalk with a little dog and he was just stopped, standing there looking at them. There was a truck behind me that kept going slower and finally stopped. I kept driving to my street and turned in east, toward my house. I was watching them continue to go by in a big spread out pattern. I got to my house and I had a fair view toward the south. I stopped and I found my phone and got to the camera and took a couple pictures. Then I tried to go to video but couldnt find the right button in the dark. So I just took a couple more pictures until they had all gone by. The last ones went by. they were spread out. In my pics you can see 4 of them far away, high up in a straight pattern. Those would have been as far away as tampa or the bay by that distance. My pictures were from 8:07 to 8:08pm when they had all gone by. My pictures show white lights but they were all bright red lights. One of my security cameras is pointed toward the 2 story house but it doesnt go up very high. And there is trees in front of it. But at 8:06 and 30 sec, there is a flash, like lightning, behind the trees. But there wasnt any clouds or lightning around. I think it may have been the large group of them maybe that caused the flash. I called the tv stations, mcdill, tia. Only answers were, we havent heard any other reports. And channel 13 said it could be drones. Drones wouldnt be that big and have that bright of a light. Mcdill is a major AFB and has radar and look out all the time. These objects were headed straight toward mcdill, probably 12 or so miles from my location. Mcdill said there wasnt any military aircraft in the area, and then said you should contact ufo reporting center web site. They didnt confirm or deny they saw anything.

I woke early in the morning to go for my casual run. While stretching and looking to the sky I had noticed a bright oval shaped light sitting in the sky. At first I didn’t think anything of it until I started to notice there were no other flashing lights on the object and it did not appear to be moving. I took my iPhone 11pro out of my pocket and began to record the object and began to zoom into it. The object had to have been at least 5-10 miles away from me. The closer my camera got I noticed that there was light moving around this object and there is a noticeable circle inside of it. I have it all captured on film. Amongst one of the videos I was taking the object disappeared from the sky as some sort of other object shot past it leaving a trail of light of purple and blue. When the object had passed the oval shaped light had reappeared in the same spot.

While watching for persied meteor shower I witnessed several planes blinking throughout the sky, but one moving light in particular caught my attention and once I looked at it it got extremely bright and stayed bright for several seconds before slowly fading and disappearing completely.

Goulais River - Horseshoe Bay, ON · Canada
Shoot I wish I knew this existed before today! Sometime between August 5th - August 29th in 2021 my dad went down to the beach at our family camp to look at the stars. It was a beautiful clear and still night. We weren't down there for long when we saw a light that flew the entire sky from south to north out at our camp on Lake Superior at Horseshoe Bay in Ontario about 2-3 seconds. (We have a huge open view of the sky from the edge of the Lake). It was a white light like a plane. There was no noise. We both watched it and I said "what was that?" My dad said he didn't know but that whatever it was was "dangling" and that it must have been military. I said no way that was a UFO. We both remarked that we'd never seen anything like it before.

While looking in the sky in the southern direction at either Jupiter or Saturn (orange star) from my position 39.292850 -81.542600, I seen a yellow light traveling in a straight line, east to west under the orange star and the light was bigger than the orange star. The yellow light appeared to have a deliberate course and was straight. While I was watching, the light vanished/went away. It did not extinguish or go out but stopped. I looked to see if it would reappear following with my eye it's trajectory, but it did not reappear. No clouds in sky to hide light. No sound from traveling light.

Willow Spring, NC
My son and I were sitting on our back porch when I noticed a bright, orange light through the tree line. I asked my son if it was a star and he said he wasn’t sure? So, I went out to the front yard and watched it intently for about 2-3 minutes. It seemed to look like a vertical line rather than a star shape. It would get bright and then dim and then bright again. I came and retrieved my binoculars to try and get a closer view. While gazing through them, it would continue to get bright, then dim, and so on. Then, to my amazement, it looked as if the object split and as if the top portion now looked more as a star shape and below it were 5-6 “sparkle-like” objects….something like a comet’s tail. But, it stayed stationary for the entire time. When I observed the split, I came back in to get my son to come take a close look, but by the time we went back, within 2 minutes, it had disappeared. The strange thing is that it appeared once again in the following night! , but then it hasn’t been back since. It was as bright as a planet but kept changing from bright to dim. I’m hoping others also caught sighting of it. It was near White Memorial Church Road and Jackson King Road area.

On the above date and time my wife and I were casually backyard stargazing, looking at Venus, which was getting low in the sky. From our location, we can observe numerous aircraft constantly come and go in various approach patterns to both John Wayne airport and Long beach airport, and we are quite accustomed to seeing these. All aircraft display navigation strobes and can be tracked on OpenADSB, which I use for fun. To the left of Venus we noticed an unidentified light in the sky approximately 5º above the horizon. Neither of us had noticed the light just a few minutes earlier, and there was no additional detail that would suggest a distance from us. The light was larger than any of the stars in the sky and indeed bigger than Venus itself. It therefore appeared to have mass, and it was illuminated, alternating between red and green solid light - not strobes - with a period of approximately 1 second or less. The light was located in the direction of 240º from Corona Del Mar, CA. As we observed it, the light ascended vertically approximately three times the distance from the ocean from where we initially noticed it. The ascension took approximately 1 to 1.5 seconds and was clearly not aeronautical in nature, as airplanes do not move vertically in such a near-instantaneous manner. I called to my 15 year-old son to join us, which he did, and he began observing about 5 seconds after the initial, vertical move. Approximately 5 seconds later, while all three of us watched, the light descended again to its original location, and then, after a second or two, plunged out of site, presumably into the ocean.

At 7:30 in the evening I observed a ball of light that appeared to be moving across the sky. Roughly 10 to 20 people observe the same and took several videos and photographs Best description would be a blue ball of moving static light.
