Superior, WI
I was driving over the the Belknap viaduct and looked off to the north towards Duluth and saw a bright light near what locals call the antenna farm and saw a bright light. As I continued over the bridge the light started heading east towards Lake Superior at a high rate of speed before it disappeared.

Rathdrum, ID
Small floating light/disk. Hovered for about a minute getting brighter and duller. It then started to move further away and disappeared in a flash. Was high but not as high as a helicopter or plane.

Looking up I saw a star moving slowly across the sky. When that star reached another they both moved off side by side in a north east direction. Before they were out of sight another one went South west to north east. I entered the house and convinced my daughter and two grand daughters to come out. We witnessed 3 more white stars go South west to north east. And two more west to east. One changed direction to the north east from the easterly direction. The clouds started to cover the area until the sky was obscured. They all were white in color and non flashing. Far too high for a conventional aircraft. The lights from aircraft are much larger and aircraft can be heard long after being seen. These stars were silent. There was no visible trail. Much dimmer than the north star but about the same size when directly overhead.

Multiple non flashing lights (some were solid blue, some were red and others were kind of white) flying in all different direction all over the sky. They would sometimes completely reverse direction or zig zag through the sky occasionally completely stopping. Not going insanely fast but faster than any airplane I've seen. Sometimes disappearing but rarely, most just fly out of site behind mountains. Seemed like they all left the area at the same time. Also I could not get a single one in a video or picture but can see stars perfectly fine in them.

I was talking to my co-worker about seeing a lot of UFOs lately when I pointed out a star that was moving fast. It flew right at an airplane but passed and seconds later it just disappeared over head. One airplane could have been repelling the light away from my vantage that's what it looked like.

Moscow, ID
Looking North, Object moving across the sky west to east. Object was changing colors and seemed to be fading in and out. Green, yellow, red, blue, orange and white. Moving so slowly across the sky thought it might be a star with atmosphere causing visual color morphing but was moving wrong direction to be a star.

Newport News, VA
Was watching fireworks in my neighborhood when I noticed two distinct red lights. They moved from SW to NE. I estimate the distance between the two lights to be approximately 150 feet. After two minutes of observing, the lights simply vanished from view.

Crystal Lake, IL
I witnessed a bright light zoom quickly from the west that stopped perfectly stationary over Crystal Lake IL during the fireworks show on July 4th 2021. It moved away quickly when the airforce jets came near it and then it moved quickly away super fast to the west and was out of sight then.at first I thought it was a helicopter. it disappeared superfast and I saw this. I have a phone video. Then a double red-light UFO was overhead to my right above the trees that moved rapidly and then zoomed quickly away within the next 5 minutes as I recorded this sighting too.2

Ocean city, NJ
Watching fireworks on the Ocean City, NJ beach around 9pm. As fireworks started there was a small bright light traveling south. I thought was a shooting star. Then a minute later another one. Then another, and another. All traveling south. The same distance between each one. Perfectly in the same line of travel. I pointed it out to my family, which they saw as well. Including my 12 & 10 year olds saw them. My husband said they could be satellites? Was fascinating to watch. No blinking to be an airplane, and traveling fast.

Clearwater, FL
While landing a helicopter at the St. Pete Clearwater Airport (KPIE) a solid red light was observed west of the location. The light moved rapidly east at a steady speed, a short distance north of my position at the airport. A check of surrounding air traffic utilizing ADS-B in information showed no other traffic while observing the light. As the light passed overhead it did not change color, intensity, or speed. No sounds was observed due to the volume of the turbine helicopter, which was still running. The light continued traveling eastbound until it was out of sight due to cloud cover and buildings. A check of flights in the area after did not show any flights in the area. The light was red in color when views approaching, aside, and while traveling away. It did not blink of strobe and did not have any visible accompanying lights. It appeared brighter than aircraft navigation, taxi, landing, or anti-collision lights.

At one point I believe there were 6-7 total. They were extremely fast, almost going in circles, but not necessarily in order. I'm not a UFO person, so that's hard for me to explain. It started with one light that caught our attention, then about 3 became more constant. At some point there were about 6-7 surrounding the sky above us. We looked for anything that could explain it better than UFO's, but no indication of anything else. After a while most left. But 1 seemed very persistent.The one captured on video I believe. At some point, seemed liked 2 lights would come back and almost crash the persistent one, surround it, then would disappear, then only 2 lights kept going at it, until one left, and short after the other was also completely gone. I don't think I'm making much sense, By the time I grabbed my phone, and started recording it, that's all the footage I got, before my phone died.

Covert, MI
My wife and my two children (ages 10 and 13) were camping at Van Buren state park on the shores of Lake Michigan. The state park is located approximately 5 miles south of South Haven Michigan and adjacent to Palisades Nuclear power plant. We checked in for a week long stay on Wednesday June 30th, 2021. On the evening of July 1st, 2021 my son and I returned to the campground from fishing in South Haven at approximately 10:30pm. At that time my wife, both children and myself decided to walk down to the beach despite the fact the beach and park lot leading to the beach having closed at 10pm. We proceeded to the beach at approximately 11:00pm. From our camp site across the parking lot to the beach is approximately .5 miles. Once we reached the beach I immediately noticed that in the distance on the horizon you can see the lights of Chicago. In the faintly illuminated sky of Chicago I notice a bright light just off the surface of the water. Despite the perceived distance, the light was bright. Initially, despite the rough lake state, I thought it was an anchor light of a boat. From where we stood on the beach if looking directly across the lake was 12 o’clock the light would be at 10 o’clock. In miles Lake Michigan is approximately 70 miles in distance across the lake. As I was explaining to my children that you can see the lights of Chicago in the distance a second light appeared directly above the first light that, to this point, was stationary. I said “look there is a second light” At this point my two kids were getting scared and were panicking. We all had flash lights and I asked them to shut them off so I could try and see what the lights were. At this point the second light that appeared disappeared and the light that was stationary began to move from left to right. At this point it began to pick up speed to the point I said out loud the my wife and kids “look how fast it is moving”. It moved from the 10 o’clock orientation to 12 o’clock or straight in front of us in a matter of seconds. It maintained a perceived orientation of just off the surface of the water. Once it was at the 12 o’clock position it stopped and the second light reappeared and disappeared. The light that was on the surface of the water went directly up then started closing the distance between where it was and where we were standing. Once the light was what I perceived to be half way to us I told everyone to run back to the campground and not to stop. From the time we saw the second light for the first time and the time we began to run to the campground was only probably 10-15 seconds. Once we saw the second light we tried to film the lights but with the hectic nature of the experience and the dark conditions we only managed to capture just the light for a brief second. Weather conditions- Cloudy sky’s 65 Degrees Wind from the north at 15Mph

Pueblo, CO
A big star caught my attention leaving the farm because it reflected off the roof of my greenhouse and made a bright spot when i was locking up. While pulling out on the dirt road no street lights, i had the window down and was just wondering what star that was because it was so big in the sky. As i was looking up, a small star looking object came off the top of the mountains on a path that took it straight past the bright star, on up until it was northeast of Pueblo, then blinked away up and disappeared. At this point i was sitting on the road just watching kind of shocked as ANOTHER spot took off from the mountains, same line. Once it got past the star however, it slowed down twice and then actually stopped as a THIRD spot of light took off from the mountains at the same point and with a lot more speed, caught up with the second light as they both sped up, arrived at the same point northwest of Pueblo and disappeared up. About half a minute after they disappear a fourth and final spot of light shot out of the mountains, past the star, up to a point, then disappeared.

I was trying to observe the elongation of Polaris by looking at the handle of the big dipper. A bright light flew overhead at high speed, silent over my location. It traveled NW (at an approximate azimuth of 35-40 degrees from true north. Possibly a meteor. A few minutes later I looked in the same general direction to try and pinpoint the track of the first object and I saw a bright flash like a star had just dimmed out.

Los Angeles, CA
Silver Lake, Los Angeles, July 1, 2021, approximately 12:37am-12:57am Walked outside to look at the sky. Slightly overcast night tonight. I saw what looked like a star twinkling through the thin clouds. It began moving. Then I thought perhaps it was a satellite. It abruptly, but very smoothly, changed direction, and swooped across the sky. It came back, and made a number of similar swooping, erratic movements. At times it went behind some trees. I couldn't be sure, but I began to think there were two or three. A few times I was able to spot two at once. They were white pinpoints of light, the size and color of stars, perhaps 10,000 feet altitude. Eventually the one I observed the longest streaked across the sky. At that point I noticed there were four more hovering in formation in the distance. It joined the group, and they flew off together rapidly in formation. It was a very unusual and unexpected experience, the first time I've seen anything like this. I could not trust that I was actually seeing them. However, I was able to point to them (for myself) and trace the objects' arcs across the sky. That helped me convince myself that what I was seeing was real. I didn't try to take photos or videos because they were quite dim for the most part. I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to capture any images. I also wasn't sure how long they would stick around, so I didn't want to lose time messing with the phone. In total I watched them for 15-20 minutes. After they were gone I watched the sky for some time. The clouds hadn't changed, but there were no stars in sight at all.

Sterling, VA
It was 12:08 am on July 1, 2021. I was on my way back home from driving my husband to his night job. I was singing in the car and focusing on the road checking my mirrors and looking around as no one was in front of me. I was driving eastbound on route 7, a quarter of a mile before the exit to route 28 south bound facing east, when to my slight left above, looking north east I saw two washed out ruby red dots appear out of thin air, close together parallel. My eyes immediately focused on them because they were so bright and I was looking in the same direction moments before they appeared out of thin air. I can vouch that they just appeared out of thin air. They were in my line of sight. I thought it was a firework that was set off at first, the type that just appears up above and falls down, however the lights didn’t move. They appeared still for a couple seconds and started to move away from each other and started to pivot parallel in a clockwise motion. They distanced themselves about at least 20 ft at first, and then started shifting counter clockwise and quickly separated, moving away from each other. Within a second they we’re at least 10 miles away from each other. It was so sudden th! at I had to look back because I couldn’t keep both dots in my view when I observed them spread out. They slowly stopped turning and stayed still at maybe a 20 degree angle incline. I looked behind me and the other red dot was behind. They literally made a mirrored motion. There were two other cars, one beside me and one behind me and we all slowed down and looked up. I’m not sure who else saw it but once they spread out they stayed still and didn’t move for the next minute. I continued my way home as I was only a minute away and noticed that the ufo that pivoted lower flickered and faded into the clouds. I don’t know what it is but my hairs stood up as soon as they appeared. I was completely alert singing on my way home and it felt like they showed in my eye sight for me to see. I was terrified and had to call my husband to calm me down. It was the most alarming thing I have ever seen.

Dayton, OH
At 11:35pm a friend and I were out having a cigarette on my porch as he was leaving after hanging out for a bit after work. Ironically we were talking about the recent UAP report and I jokingly said I'd been watching the sky suspiciously since then. He responds "Well at least that light is obviously terrestrial in origin." Sure enough there was a bright light in the sky, which got brighter as we were looking at it. He remarked that it must be a helicopter with a search light on. Which admittedly was what I was thinking. Then the light shifted, and was no longer pointed directly at us, which made me realize it was bright enough to be illuminating us a bit, a few lumens at best. He started trying to guess what it was. Guesses included a jet throwing on it's after burners, which we discarded because it wasn't moving fast, and didn't make a sound. The object appeared to be a ball of light, to me. At this point one side was dimmer than the other which was still extremely bright. Movement was... drifting, moved down a bit, and began heading almost exactly due north. After the incident I confirmed on the Star Map app it had passed almost 1 inch above the M33 star for a reference in the night sky. Then it dimmed to where it was almost non-visible in the light pollution of the city lights (due North of my location is downtown, the sky is much less visible). When it dimmed it rapidly accelerated until it was non visible (less than a second). Up until this acceleration I'd describe it's movement as 'drifting' and it only moved around 5-6in while it was bright. After it disappeared I thought to check the time and the star it passed nearest to while bright. Hope it helps. Star was M33, and the location was the address provided. Can't really estimate what distance it was to us. Looked high altitude, but originally when the light was bright we thought it was a lot closer .

Yakima, WA
Was sitting in our field and looking at the constellation Scorpio. All of a sudden to the top left of the constellation a star looking that wasn’t there before appeared out of nowhere. As it lit up it became brighter than all the other stars then it disappeared as quickly as it appeared and then nothing was there. About 3-5 minutes later the same thing appeared but this time above the constellation Scorpio. I thought it was all over because nothing else happened for a while. About 10-15 minutes later it appeared for the 3rd and final time but this time was to the right of the constellation. There was no other explanation of anything this could have been. Nothing comes as high as the constellation in the sky and there were no planes or anything else that I have ever seen do this. There was no sound at all either.

Outside enjoying a cigarette. Great visibility of the stars. I noticed what looked like a start moving north east. It appeared to be very high in the sky and a similar brightness to the other stars and size. About 20 seconds past as it travelled over head and eventually out of my sight. 2 minutes later a slightly dimmer light was seen in the same place in the sky heading in a more north direction. 30 seconds after witnessing a second light a third light was seen. This one was brighter and appeared to be lower in altitude. Was also heading north. As it travelled it blocked out the stars above it. Have never seen anything like this. Could be satellites maybe im not sure. I have seen shooting stars before and what appears to be other lights moving very fast but never something like this. Thought I would report

Upper Tract, WV
At approximately 21:30 we witnessed the brightest planet type light I have ever seen traveling east to west. From my point of view, the light was in the same elevation angle as the north star. The light went past where the north star would be about 5° and disappeared. It should have been in the light of the sun for another 4 minutes.

San Diego, CA
My mother came to visit my house I lived in last year in San Diego. We were watching tv that evening and I have a very clear view of the beach outside my window and something caught my eye. I am used to seeing naval ships, airplanes, drones, helicopters, and more off the coast but this was something unusually spectacular. A formation of five separate lights appeared hovering during sunset. I thought to myself oh it’s probably drones or some military exercise but then as the sun was setting, I could see the boats in the ocean turn on their lights and then saw an airplane flyby and realized this is something crazy. I jumped up and told my mom “OMG mom there is a ufo in the sky and now my life is complete!”. I have always been a huge believer in existence outside of our planet and my mom was not a believer until this incident so we started recording. The biggest thing that stood out was the comparison of distance vs height and illumination of the lights vs the planes that were passing by and the ships underneath the floating objects. There was no sound or movement from these objects other than appearing in and out in a formation. We could even hear the planes next to it but zero noise from these objects. This was something our minds could not comprehend. The lights were so big and bright and closer then the planes but we couldn’t see anything but hovering lights. Then the formation started to fade it’s lights in and out. Then reappeared but always in the same hovering formation. There was zero movement until the lights would dim then reappear in another pattern. This went on for about 30 minutes just hovering in a stacked a weird very bright light formation. I have gifted drones to people and this was not a drone. This was not a flare gun exercise seeing these lights were not falling at any point. This was not a plane, seeing it was stationary. This was something EXTRAordinarily terrestrial. No one believes us when we tell them. It was something you had to be there to experience but many people all along the coast reported the sightings. The next day, articles came out about it stating police were informed and claimed it was not known what these lights were. The military did not take ownership the next day, no one knew besides us residents that saw the spectacular event.
