Valley City, ND
Lake Ashtabula (10 miles N of Valley City, ND) I had been stargazing and watching a meteor shower with my girlfriend and my grandparents on this evening. Around 11:30pm, everyone started heading into the cabin to go to bed but I decided to stay by the fire for awhile longer. As I was about to get up, I saw what at first looked like a satellite, however it moved at extreme speeds in a zig-zag pattern. It appeared to be at high altitude or low earth orbit. People know me as a "space nerd" so when I saw this and told my girlfriend, she believed me when I said it was not a satellite or spacecraft. It may have been blinking but I cannot remember for sure. I am also an aircraft pilot, so I know it was not an aircraft.

Cherry Grove, SC
Looking over the ocean not even 1/4 mile south of the Cherry Grove Fishing Pier Several Moving White blinking lights, for several minutes. Then, 4 large 3-dimensional square orange lights in the shape of a sphere came on one at a time- then quickly disappeared. Followed by more white blinking lights. The blinking white lights were very erratic in the sky...similar to fireflies.

Anza Borrego, CA
We were out in the Anza Borrego Desert near Slot Canyon watching the Perseid Meteor shower. At approximately 22:00, we noticed what appeared to be an aircraft with a red navigation light traveling in a SW direction at approximately 5,000ft altitude. No noise was heard. Shortly after, 2 white/gold (white Christmas light color), orb-like objects appeared to be flying alongside the "aircraft"/red light. The orb lights then appeared to chase each other in a circular motion around the red light/"aircraft" and also "danced" back and forth between the front and rear of the red light. At times, the white lights would turn off and appear in a different location. We continued to observe the group of lights traveling in a SW direction as they traveled farther away and higher in altitude. The white orbs were still "dancing" around the red object and chasing each other in completely random zig zag and swirl patterns as far as we could see. Another odd observance was that the lights continued to travel on the same trajectory and never came back down towards the horizon. The lights continued to be visible at a great distance until they finally disappeared approximately 1 hour after first sighting. There were 3 witnesses to this event and none of us had ever seen anything like this before. Photos and videos were taken, however the lights aren't really visible. I also recorded our GPS coordinates, heading indicator, date and timestamps. After searching online, it appears we witnessed a "Foo-Fighter" sighting - almost exactly like the ones seen here: https://www.ufosightingsdaily.com/2017/03/two-foo-fighters-following-plane-over.html

Osgood, IN
In the early morning hours I woke up to witness out of my bedroom window a white/candle light colored sphere flying around within the same area over a group of trees nearby. Not radical or very fast movements, more slow and intentional. This object stayed within the same area for the 2.5 hours I sat and watched. I did wake my husband to take a look and he witnessed it for the couple minutes before returning to bed. I did not witness the departure and am unsure of how much longer it stayed in that area. This object was much larger than the security light at a close neighboring farm and larger than the airplanes flying by for comparison. I did try to capture video from the bedroom window but oddly it wouldn't show up as big or clear as was seen by my eyes.

Smithfield, RI
I was on my motorcycle riding west bound on log road. The night was clear and I saw two very bright orange orbs above me. I pulled into herbert's nursing homes parking lot and looked at the sky. I saw both orbs move in a straight line similar rate of speed as an aircraft. I then got back on my bike and left the scene.

Lexington, KY
Awoke. Felt "compelled" to step out into my backyard, overlooking the University of Kentucky. Glowing elongated orb caught my eye. Glowing, elongated orb, flashing white multi-colors: Kept bursting with energy/more light output. Then, changing of colors. Predominantly orangish-red from warm white. May have caught a blueish flash as well. As i write this, it is still visible. Now 35 minutes, although it has moved South slightly. This craft is one of dozens I have witnessed over the decades in many locales, beginning in the 1960's.

Rockport, ME
Was laying in the grass outside my backyard and noticed an orangish orb moving south east between Liconville and Camden. The orb then made a 90° turn towards the ocean for about maybe 5-10miles(10-30 seconds). It stopped. The orb turned white and faded straight up from its last location. No sound. 5-15 minutes later a meteor shot down over Camden and Rockport. The object was 100s if not 1000s of feet higher in the sky.

Cranford, NJ
About 10:30pm last night, 8/8/2020, I was outside walking my dog when a light caught my attention, it was a bright red/orange solid orb in the sky, it went left extremely quick from the position it was in and then right to the same original location, it then came towards my location at en extreme rate of speed. I then noticed that 2 V-22 Osprey were following it, I've seen them multiple times since Bedminster Golf Club is just a few miles from here, in the video you can see the ospreys lights blinking showing the navigation lights while the orb I saw never blinked and when it passed me went straight up into the air extremely fast and was gone. Before it disappeared, a fighter jet of some kind went flying over extremely fast and loud as well seeming to be chasing whatever was in the sky.

West Chester, OH
As I was looking at the moon in the east, I saw a bright orange object spherical object that seemed to be on fire pass in front of the moon. It rose up over the house and water tower directly across the street from me. There was no sound. At first I thought it must be a hot air ballon on fire because of what appeared to be flames around it, but because it kept on going on in a controlled flight to the south and up in the sky. I thought is must be a plane on fire but that didn't make any sense because a plane would have fallen. I ran in the house to get my I-phone and ran back out to take the first picture and could still see the distinct shape and bright orange color but it had gained considerable altitude and distance. In the next immediate shot it was out of sight. I checked to see if any satellites had been launched but there were none on that day. This is my first sighting of such an object, although I have seen others UFO's one very very close and others in the sky the looking distinctly like stars but definitely not acting like stars and witnessed by a crowd of people. I saw the last space shuttle launch and this looked nothing like it. I have 2.5 Maste'rs degrees in education. I am an elementary school teacher of 37 years and teach all subjects. I have a 2 photos of the object.

Nashville, TN
On August 8 in Nashville TN at around 7:50 to 8:20 pm I and 4 other people saw 2 black dots/spheres in the air. They were far but in the beginning could easily be seen with the naked eye, after about 20 minutes though the two spheres had drifted further to the point that is was hard to see with naked eye but relatively easy with binoculars. The objects were moving west at a very slow pace and were passing through clouds every couple of minutes. In the picture I took with my phone the objects look almost touching because of the quality of the photo but with the binoculars it is very clear that the two spheres are not touching but floating parallel with a little bit of distance between them.

Daphne, AL
Around 1pm I saw a very reflective object move across the sky. I thought it was an airplane but as I continued to observe the object it became very clear it was not an airplane or metallic balloon. It either kept reflecting the sun or it was pulsating a white light . I watched it for about 5 mins and it went behind a cloud and vanished.

Powder Springs, GA
I, personally, was not involved. The witnesses were my father, his cousin(C), his sister(W) and her daughter(E), and my mother. All of whom I trust in their testimony whole heartedly. This describtion is directly as W explained to me. "E had been seeing weird lights in the pasture all evening. When we got ready to leave, C asked what's that weird light in the garden.I(W) turned to look but he(C) said it's gone. I(W) said," well,I'll take a picture and see if we get anything...",the garden was pitch black, no lights. When my(W) phone camera lit up, you could see this big ball of SUPER bright light sitting on the ground. I(W) never saw it shoot up, it must have done that just as the picture snapped. Faster than lightening!!!!!"

Iuka, IL
My wife's alarm went off to get ready for work. I got up to have a cigarette and heard a humming sound when I cracked the door open. As I step out the noise gets more quiet. I look up above me and about 15 feet up was a sphere, it was by the tree and above my well.I got a good look at it. Best description is fire in the sky but it wasn't fire the inside had orange, red and yellow colors that were spinning almost looked like a galaxy inside as the whole thing flashed also, but it was not glass it was like translucent metal a very advanced small flying device not from this planet for sure. It went straight up then to the left in the opening above my trees, at this point I grabbed my dog and put the dog inside I felt threatened. I put the dog in and looked out the door and didn't see it. I stepped back out and seen it had moved closer to the house but above the tree. I just got a new phone and was trying find the camera and it moved back left in the opening.I s! tayed close to the door as it went straight up and to the left, then it went to the right above my trees slow and I had the door held open at this point, when it was out of my view I got back inside and told my wife. I went back out and it was gone last I seen it was headed west. It was a little bigger than a bowling ball maybe beach ball size and made sense on how it was flying it could sit still move any direction quick or slow. This was way too advanced to be ours it's not from this planet. My dog would not go outside in the morning she was scared to go out and refused. We live way out in the country it had no business here.

Delanco, NJ
On August 5th at approximately 8:30pm. We were walking north by the Delanco river in NJ. The sky was clear, and the wind was calm. I noticed what I thought was a possible Blackhawk formation. I was an airborne paratrooper in the military and I am familiar with all domestic and foreign aircraft. I’ve flown and jumped out of many fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. I’m also an electrical engineer. After about a minute of observance. I realized this was something different. Something I’ve never witnessed before. I consider myself a man of science and I am a true sceptic of unexplained events. Until there are answers I will be impacted by this event. Initially we noticed 3 objects in a Triangle formation. Orange in color and possibly pulsating. The objects seen to be coming towards us and then they appeared to be retreating in the north direction. These objects seem to be at an altitude of approximately 4000 ft. Approximate size and shape if the illuminated objects were 20ft to 100ft in diameter. As we continued our walk the 3 initial objects became blocked by the trees. At that time my niece noticed anther object higher in altitude and to the North East of the other objects. As we observed this object we noticed an even more faint object to the East of that object. This one eventually faded out like a dimmer switch to a light. We then regained sight of the first 3 objects. At this time, we saw one on the objects fade out. Then reappear to the west approximately 5 to 10 miles away from its last seen position. This was in a matter of 20 to 30 seconds. I have a video of one of the objects that was at a higher altit! ude and to the north east. Later identified as sky lanterns. PD

Little Lake, CA
My boyfriend and I were, and still are, perplexed by what we witnessed. There were no other cars on the road, and no visible houses on that section of the highway. The crafts moved, and dropped over the ridge of the mountain in a way that I cannot explain, and no amount of research has led to any sort of explanation. These objects were not drones, and they were far too low to the ground to be satellites, planes, or helicopters. They moved with intent, and hovered silently over the open field.

Woodburn, OR
August 3 2020. This all happened during a power outage that affected 112 customers which began at 7:30pm and lasted until sometime after 2:00am. Around 11:30pm I first noticed a cluster of approx 15 small red lights rather high in the sky. Hard to judge altitude and distance at night. From my viewing point they (or it) were about 10 o'clock high. Some brighter than others. No discernible pattern or shape. They maintained their positions and simultaneously flashed on and off at a rate of about once per second. This lasted for only a few seconds then went completely dark. I heard no sound. 30 seconds or so after this sighting, I saw a bright white spherical object moving erratically straight up and down not to far above the nearest treeline about 3/4 miles distant . The object looked to be between 2-5 miles away. At that distance it would measure at least 20 ft wide. It would shoot up above the nearest treeline and then shoot back down, sometimes higher or lower, but never so far down that I couldn't see it through the trees. Nothing that I know of could possibly go as fast as this thing was going. I never really saw it moving. It would be up in one instant and down in the next. This lasted for about 6 or 7 seconds then went dark. Maybe 30 seconds later I saw the same object at about the same distance but much farther to my right. Its behavior and duration was as I described for the first sighting. I heard no sound at all. I can't explain what is was, but it was NOT a helicopter, hot air balloon, fireworks, lightning, a reflection, meteor, comet, temperature inversion, or swamp gas. The sky was cloud free and crystal clear.

I was on the back porch smoking a cigarette and this object just appear. It was a sphere shaped object. Changed from Bright white to red. Looks to have dropped something. Was able to get photo & video. It slowly disappeared.

On Sunday, August 2nd of 2020 my wife and I had just returned home from visiting friends in our Jeep. We were putting the doors and top back on the jeep when I noticed an object giving off light moving from the northwest at a decent speed. The object was silent as it moved across the sky and the reddish orange light it gave off did not pulse. It became stationary due West of my location at approximately 45 to 60 degrees above the horizon. After a short time of being stationary, the object emitted a bluish object or beam downward at an angle of approximately 20 degrees to the North which was moving at an extreme rate of speed similar to a shooting star but it was much tighter focused and did not burn out. Shortly after the object emitted the beam, a slightly larger bluish beam shot up toward the object from the south at an angle of approximately 75 degrees just missing it. The object made no effort to move or avoid the incoming object. After a short while another object passed below my line of sight of the original object. It moved horizontally as a fast moving beam of red light. The original object remained in the sky as if just another star in the sky for the remainder of my viewing. It was getting late at this point and I returned indoors.

Glendora, CA
I started recording a light that appeared to be around 34.167666,-117.862964. I described the video what i saw because it kept disappearing and reappear. After reviewing the video I observed a flash of light zoom into space and curve around frame :19 to :24. That surprised me, I then slowed the video and filtered night vision. When I did that I saw something appear out of thin air zoom about 45 degrees (granted this is in slow motion). Then turn 180 degrees the 45 degrees again then zoom into space leaving a trail of light and curve into space. Then a friend of mine noticed on the original video at frame :29 and :30 you here a sonic boom then the orb or light disappears from the top of the ridge. Granted the light beam had already disappeared into space at frame :24. Then the boom around :29 and the orb disappears. I have the video and everyone is shocked what we saw.

Detroit, MI
Myself and two friends were enjoying a summer night on a friends roof top in Midtown Detroit. We were looking up into the night sky when above us at the height of planes fly over to land at the airport two giant orb like things appeared. I shouted to my two friends to look. We all couldn’t take our eyes away in amazement. Their shapes were identical and their light was perfect no hot spots or dimming in areas. They were moving in the same directions at a very fast speed to the west of the city. They would move as separate and then come together as one and then separate and coming me back together. They did this twice before shooting off to were we couldn’t see them anymore. We were all shocked nothing I’ve never seen anything move like that before in my life. Now I can’t stop looking up.
