We went out in back yard with dogs and my sister asked if I seen the red light? I saw the red orb come over the tree in my back yard, I said that is the ufo again, I have seen them before. This time there was just one and it was suddenly coming right up over us and we were both looking up at it. Then the light went out and I could see the actual craft hovering there and it looked just like a flying saucer out of the movies. We both watched it move east towards the High school and for another 20 sec. then it shot off. No noise no sounds, there was a low flying plane above it flying south. Yes it was a very surreal experience. hard to grasp what you are seeing. It is absolutely proof to me that something is out there checking on us but for what I do not know.

I walked outside looked at southwest sky and saw this huge red orb, no sound at all. I called for my mom and we both saw it move backwards slowly no sound, no red, blue or white blinking aircraft lights. It moved slowly northwest and became smaller. Then turned and began slowly moving west and it just vanished. No sounds at all and there were no other aircraft anywhere. It was so close to me when I first saw it but when I yelled for my mom to come out it backed away a little. I have seen orbs before but nothing this vivid and close. Only 1 huge red orb or sphere. So bright nothing else could be seen on sphere. It was in the black night sky.

Orange orb of light floated through my backyard, within 10-15 feet of me. It was basketball-sized & bioluminescent, like a jellyfish. Within the sphere (whose size remained constant, there was another circle that would shift, expanding and contracting. like the pupil of an eye. it seemed to be looking around, and it looked at me. i managed to grab my ipad to film, but as soon as i started moving, it zipped up over my neighbors roof & hovered there. Before that, it had been drifting, slowly, so I lowered the camera for a moment to see if it would come back. It didn't, but as soon as i snapped the camera but up, it zips off to the left. The clip is here https://youtu.be/_5Oeauv_xC0 Sorry i didn't get a video while it was closer. I was in shock for a few moments, but nothing supernaturally induced or anything like that. I've just never seen anything like it.

A large orb in the sky above in the Southern sky, but very high up. It did n't move for the whole hour we watched. It was larger than a star or planet that you see. My husband has an app on his phone that identifies stars and planets and this did not show up on it

Unusual sighting. This as succinct as possible. I am a seasoned pilot who flies an Airbus A300 for a major freight delivery company here in the United States. I am also a Coast to Coast subscriber who, up until now, has never witnessed and unidentifiable sighting in my 10,000 hours of flying. Due to the unusual nature of this event, the crew tried to capture as many details as possible. While flying from Richmond VA to our hub, the crew noticed a satellite looking object bearing NW, moving what appeared to be easterly. The object was approximately three fingers high from the horizon. The object was devoid of any beacon, strobe or other flashing lights. At first, the object was a dim white light but in the span of about 15 seconds, it went from dim to a very noticeable bright white light and then dim to out of sight. This event was soon followed by a succession of about 15 more of the same sighting for a total of 16 observed. Duration total of event was about 9 minutes. The observation began at Fl 300 and persisted during our descent until about 13,000ft. We believed the succession of events ceased but they may well have continued as we were getting closer to our city base and the preponderance of lights made the night sky more ablaze. The first object was observed at 03:30z and the 16th object was observed 03:39z. The spacing between objets seemed to be consistent and on-time. The speed appeared to consistent with that of a satellite moving across the sky. It was difficult to ascertain the height above Earth but all objects occurred at the same altitude which was noted at about three fingers above the horizon. The objects location were noted at a 330 degree bearing from our airplane and our heading was 270 degrees. ** crew hypothesized that these were either a result of private enterprise technology or from the military. Possibly weaponry or drone.

Eugene, OR
At around 9:10 PM while out on a walk I witnessed a silent, orange colored orb-shaped UFO fly over Amazon Park. I was out taking a walk like I usually do in the evenings in the area of south university neighborhood in Eugene a few blocks away from the University of Oregon when I just happened to look up to see what I thought was maybe an airplane or satellite flying southwestward. What made me realize that this craft was not either an airplane or satellite was when the orange-colored, star-shaped orb stopped in mid-air, started flying southward, then stopped again, only to then start to move down towards the ground. The UFO seemed to first start heading in my direction, being eastward, but then suddenly stopped and began heading southwestward. When it started moving towards the ground I knew for certain that this was a UFO. The entire incident lasted about 15-30 seconds. The road I was walking down was a steep hill, which gave me somewhat of a range to see around the area which would be Amazon Park. This orange-colored orb-shaped UFO seemed to be flying almost directly above the area of Amazon Park. The aircraft looked like a very orange star. If the aircraft hadn’t been moving I would most certainly have mistaken it for a star in the evening sky and kept walking. This aircraft also did not make any noise. If this had been a helicopter or airplane I would have heard it. And man-made aircraft cannot stop mid-air and suddenly change directions. This was something completely out of this world (maybe even literally).

We woke up around 1am and saw the white/yellow light in the sky. I took video with my iPhone but the object was very high up and I can only see it very well when I zoom. It is a ball of light that moves and has multicolors that can only be seen in Zoom view. It appears the middle of the orb is black. I have seen this 3 times over the past 3 weeks and once several months ago in a different area of the sky. I live between the Space Center (35 miles away) and a Nuclear Energy plant (10 miles away).

Lynnwood, WA
I am 61 yrs old when this occurred. I have an M.S. in Information Systems Management and I work as an IT Project Manager for a large local employer, where I have worked for many years. Report – Occurrence on Aug 17, 2020 Lynnwood, Washington On the morning of Aug 17, 2020, at 12:31 am, I was awakened in my home in Lynnwood, WA, by a bright yellow-orange light shining into my upstairs bedroom window. The source of the light was spherical, self-illuminated, approximately 10-20% smaller than a full moon, but much, much brighter. It seemed like it was shining into my eyes – but it didn’t make me want to blink as it didn’t hurt my eyes. I stared at the object for about 8 seconds before it blinked out. The window faces west. The orb was stationary, at approximately 175-225 ft in the air depending on how far away it was. (I am estimating its elevation in comparison to the height of some tall conifer trees. It was near the top of one of those very tall trees. If the orb was farther away, then my elevation estimate is probably wrong. I kept looking out the window in case something else happened. A minute or two after the orb blinked out, my window was illuminated with a bright white light. I had blinds pulled down but angled open between each blind so that some light from the sky could come in, and I could see stars on a clear night. The bright white light illuminated the window for 10-12 seconds before it went out. I thought it might be someone’s (or even my own) motion-activated light. But the next day I realized that couldn’t be right because my motion-activated light is not nearly as bright and is set to stay on for 10 minutes. This light stayed on for 10-12 seconds, then went out, then came back on 4 or 5 minutes later, stayed on for 10-12 seconds again, then went out, then came on a third time, stayed on the same length of time, then went out again. When the window would light up, it looked like a glowing-white rectangle against a black background—almost like looking at a film negative. I kept watc! hing the window but the light didn’t come on again while I was watching. I didn’t get up to look out the window. I was a bit scared to do that as I didn’t want to attract any attention to myself. This time period where my window was being illuminated lasted about 20 minutes. I tried to go back to sleep but I tossed and turned and slept fitfully after this. There was a dog outside barking, coming from the same direction as where I saw the orb. It would bark for a while, go quiet, bark some more, and this intermittent barking kept waking me up. I felt like I finally went to sleep and then I was awakened by the dog barking crazily…more intense than before. I opened my eyes and there was that same orange-yellow orb again, in a slightly different position…a little bit north but still shining into my window. I was only able to look at it for about 1 second before it winked out. The way it winked out, it looked like it collapsed inward from the two vertical-ish ( ) sides, so that for a half-second I could see a vertical orange line before it went all the way out. I thought it was strange that as soon as I opened my eyes, there was that orb again, but only for a second. As if to say “Bu-bye!” I looked at my clock again and it was around 3:30-3:35 am.

While I’ve seen many over the bay of fundy , the most I’ve seen started since the Perseids began, while out looking at the stars with my father, I noticed one light solid white like a star, moving fairly quick but neither leaving a trail or filling the more it moved, after I took my eyes off of it and we sat down to look at stars my father also noticed one , also going in the same eastern direction. While we saw more none made noise or anything and all moved in very similar directions, I’ve only seen one at a time and the most recent was around 10:10 pm this night. Though not as creepy as the humming red train sounding orb, these still are strange to me.

First sighted at low angle in the west and it traveled high overhead and was last seen in the N.E. horizon. Total duration was only 30 seconds and likely less. It was bright like Venus and steady in intensity. It didn't deviate course and the speed was steady. Blazing fast. It seemed to reflect light like the ISS, but brighter. It was silent and appeared to be in space not in atmosphere and there was no shedding of debris or comet tail.

Camping on Moosehead Lake in a remote cabin with family. We were just getting ready to put out the campfire when myself (teacher) and cousin (police officer) saw a very bright sphere in the sky with two verticle beams above the treeline. Just seconds after it appeared it disappeared with a huge bright flash (no sound) that illuminated the entire lake. All animals went quiet until the flash was over.

Gatesville, TX
At approximately 1900, Friday, 14 August 2020, while on duty of gate security at North Fort Hood Army Base, Gatesville, TX, myself and two of my fellow security officers observed two white objects in the Northern Portion of the sky at about a 45 degree angle up in front of the Main and only gate to North Fort Hood Army Base, TX. The two objects were white in color but not a metallic shiny white, more of a dull chalky white but were round in shape with no wings or any lights observed. The two objects were approximately 80-90 feet apart from each other with the object on the right about 20 feet in the sky lower the than the object on the left and appeared to be farther away. I do not know the approximate altitude of the objects because I have never seen them before so I do not know their relative size to be able to determine how high up they were. If I had to guess their altitudes, I would say approximately 10 to 15 thousand feet. They were not moving at all and I do not know how long they were there; it is like they were perfectly suspended in the air. The sky at this time of day was still blue and stars were not yet visible so you could still observe other aircraft such as helicopters (olive drab H-60 Blackhawks) flying and landing in the nearby helo pad to the North of our front gate but they too did not require lights at this time. There were also two takeout food delivery people who use their own vehicles to enter the base to deliver food to our Soldiers who also observed the objects and they two commented about how strange the objects were. Then all of the sudden after maybe 20 minutes, both objects disappeared. I do not know exactly how they disappeared or if they just moved out of the area because we could not stay looking at them the whole time because we had to focus on our job of checking ID cards for those persons entering the base. One of my coworkers who observed the objects that Friday night saw the same object above his backyard in Copperas Cove, TX, approximately 20 miles from the Gatesville, North Fort Hood sighting, on the afternoon of Sunday, 16 August 2020, and that is the one which is labeled as such. Myself and my coworkers have never seen anything like this before and we cannot tell you what we think it is because we just do not know. That is why I am submitting this report. I am really ashamed of the photos I am submitting but as I said, this is all we have. There is also a short video of the objects from Friday 14 August but the quality is very poor because it is so pixelated. Please when you open up the JPEG file of the photos zoom them in and you will see that white dot in all photos but understand that when you do that; the image will not be sharp. As I worked the same location on Saturday and Sunday 15 and 16 August at the front gate of North Fort Hood, I did not see the objects. I have never seen a UFO before so I cannot tell you that these objects are UFO’s but I do believe they exist. Please provide some sort of feedback at your earliest convenience as to what you and your staff think these objects were. Thank you.

Went outside to answer a call from my mother, looked up and saw a white orb shaped craft, about the size of the moon moving in a zip zag formation. I've seen planes and satellites my whole life but this was bizarre, I told my mother what I was seeing because she directed me to go outside and watch the meteor shower . Quite a shock to say the least and then I went to bed, next morning told my son and he suggested we report it here.

I was outside around 11:00 to view the meteor shower that was to take place this night. As I sat and watched, something caught my attention off to the NW about 15 degrees above the horizon. It was a ball that looked similar to a star however larger. The object had several distinct lights on it, red, green, and white respectively. The lights flashed at irregular intervals as the object moved laterally left and right also irregularly. After about five minutes of trying to figure out what it was, the object shot straight up about 10 more degrees before moving right very abruptly and then shooting straight back down to its original position in the sky. I ran inside to alert my sister who came out and watched with me. For the next half hour or so, we watched the object move irregularly while trying to get the object focused in a telescope. Unfortunately the object was moving too irregularly to keep in frame and we had no more than three seconds at a time of view ! through the scope. It slowly began to fade away and we both thought that it was going to completely disappear however, it came back at a truly unbelievable speed to its original position where it stayed for another five minutes, moving hard left and hard right irregularly. Finally, the object seemed to go directly away from us very fast until completely out of view and this time it did not return. We were both very very skeptical of any kind of alien or supernatural entities to say the least however, this experience has changed our minds considerably. I am a Digital Forensics major going into my senior year. I have dealt with technology all my life and have always had an interest in the viewing of celestial events. I can honestly say I have never ever seen anything like this.

Garden City, SC
Subject: Unidentifiable object(s). Date: Wednesday, August 12th Approximate Time: 10:30PM Location: 1907 South Waccamaw, Garden City, South Carolina Viewed: East North East; 45° off the horizon Color: Bright Orange Shape: circular Sound: None Distance: difficult to tell, but seemed far off out over the Atlantic Ocean. Size: they seemed pretty darn big Movement: seemed to be stationary, Starting with one orange orb, then adding 3 more (same size-one at a time). It took 8 to 10 seconds between each additional orb, but again, they were all from right to left and equidistant, in a straight line. Then, similarly another 4 more orbs came in succession (same size-one at a time), but the second group came in line much quicker (2-3 seconds apart), again right to left, adding to the first four orange orbs-totaling 8 in a straight line. Duration: Once they were all in line, they all quickly disappeared at once. Note: we could not tell if it was one object or 8 separate. Summation: They were clearly not Aircraft’s as we know it. It was Clearly not a meteor. It was clearly not a lightning storm. It was clearly not fireworks. It was clearly not a light show. Thoughts: The three of us that witnessed the sighting cannot imagine that no one else in any of the houses facing the ocean or people walking on the beach or people on the the pier did not see the object(s) too; that on the contrary, with the amount of sky these bright orange orbs took lined up, someone had to see them.

My fiances grandmother came inside from smoking and said she saw a ufo outside somewhat reluctantly and wanted someone to come out and look. At firsr glance it looked like the brighted star in the sky. But when you watched it, it moved around so unnatural. Almost like a buttefly in flight. It would move rapidly up and down and jump short distances. while it appeared bright white you could also see red sometimes, which me and her would confuse with blue and green, it was almost a blinding white but other colors all at the same time. I had my fiance come out and he was absolutely stunned as well. Im not one to just say I saw something, I dont make shit up. We all saw this, its still out there and I got it on video

On the way back from the store I looked to my left and saw an orb. I immediately grabbed my phone and took a couple photos and then took a 9 second video and I looked that then when I got back home. I noticed there was no FAA lights or tether at the time of seeing it and looking back at the footage.

There were 2 objects, almost directly overhead, no detectable motion, about 20 degrees apart in the evening sky. White in color.
