Looking up into the night sky, noticed an object that looked similar to a star, but was moving. At first, I thought I was seeing an orbiting satellite, as I've seen them before. However, this point of light began moving erratically, in a zig-zig pattern before shooting off to the right and it was gone in a flash.

On Friday July 11, 2020, I was awaken by a thunderstorm. I like watching thunderstorms, so I got up, and went out to back deck. It was raining hard, and lightning, but I wasn't getting too wet. As I was looking toward my detached garage above and behind my garage, which was about 50 feet from me a oblong bright blue/white object appeared . It looked like it came out of a portal . It hovered there for about 5-8 minutes. Then it started to descend slowly. I'm the kind of person that would grab my phone, and run out to take photos. That didn't happen, or my memory was wiped clean. I woke Saturday morning, and decided to cut my grass. I'm 68 years old, and work 10 hours a day 5 days a week. Monday through Friday. It's hard for me to keep up with outside work. The grass needed cut bad, so I started cutting. When I got to the back yard I saw the high grass had a depression about 12 feet by 12 feet. I got my phone out, and took pictures. When I first saw the depression, I remembered the sighting the night before. I looked for steps or prints leading to, and/or from the depression, but saw none. Monday I called WRAL news Raleigh,NC, and asked if they had had other reports. They said no, and asked me to text the pictures along with my info, so I did.

At first it seemed against a clear night sky we were witnessing a shooting star. It shot across the stars stopped still illuminated, paused a few seconds then continued to travel very very very slowly. . At this time to the very far right of this event a second light appeared. It traveled very slowly towards the first light . We thought perhaps these were sattilites. But satellites dont move the way these were. Then as soon as the appeared, they just vanished against the black sky. I kept looking up and I'm glad I did as this time there were three lights to appear flying in a triangle formation. Travelling very slowly they were glowing white whit a hint of red towards the end of the orb shape. They did this for about 7 seconds before simply vanishing.

Observed thru spotting scope and telescope. At the 9 to 12 O'clock area there were 6-8 red circles at the outer edge. Clear inside but seemed to show different images inside, such as clock hands at 10:10 and one time looked like a comet inside. Have photos of this. It slowly dimmed and drifted away and at this time cell phone picture showed several discs flying by it. (there's a chance they could be birds, but very unusual).

I video taped for as long as I could, the UFO continued moving in its point but stayed still in location. After staring for 3 minutes, I went back to bed. It was very early in the morning. I woke up again at 5 am and nothing in the location an hour ago, not a shooting star or bright planet. The item was gone. This was neither a drone or helicopter. This was a little sphere moving on its axle.

My husband and I were taking a walk in Bloomfield (15224) near the intersection of Cullen Street and Choate Way. We were taking photos of the sky and sunset after a storm. We noticed a strange light effect in the sky a few minutes before seeing the UFOs. The light looked like 2 wide horizontal bands that were a little darker blue. We remarked that it almost looked as though some giant craft had gone through the air, pushing the clouds off to the side of its path. A few minutes later, to the right of the light bands, I saw 2 small orbs of light appear from behind the clouds. The 2 orbs moved around each other almost like 2 flies. I managed to get a video, although it is shaky in the beginning. I have still photos as well. The orbs changed their proximity to each other several times. The second orb disappeared and the remaining one stayed motionless in the sky for as long as we stayed to look at it. If I hadn't seen and taken a video of them moving, I could have been persuaded that the remaining orb was a star or planet.

Le 8 juillet 2020 entre 04h30 et 05h10, un témoin est intrigué par la présence dans le ciel d'un PAN lumineux qu'il voit plusieurs fois de façon discontinue. Le témoin estime qu’il a vu le PAN pendant 5 minutes, en cumulant 3 phases de l’observation. Il prend des photographies avec son téléphone portable. Le PAN reste au même endroit entre 4h30 et 5h10. Rentré chez lui il est intrigué par ce qu'il voit sur ses photographies et ressort une à deux minutes plus tard mais le PAN a disparu. Un seul témoignage est recueilli. D’étrangeté faible et de bonne consistance (témoin unique, mais témoignage assez complet, photos du PAN), ce cas s’avère être une méprise avec la planète Vénus (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). La description du PAN ainsi que son apparence sur les photos sont caractéristiques d’une méprise astronomique. Or, il s’avère que la position du PAN correspond à celle de Vénus. Seule la disparition soudaine du PAN, une à deux minutes après sa dernière vision par le témoin, peut paraitre étrange, mais il est à noter que le déplacement des nuages à ce moment de l’observation permet d’expliquer la disparition de Vénus, masquée par l’un d’eux. Le GEIPAN classe le cas en "A" : méprise avec Vénus. [GEIPAN classification A — Vénus]

My daughter and I were looking at the stars in her new telescope when we noticed a orange/yellow sphere shaped light really high in the northern sky. This was higher than where we see planes. It hovered for a couple of minutes,so we thought it was a star until it started moving very erratically. The same thing happened again the following night in the northeast sky over my house at around the same time. There is nothing that I know of that can move so silently and erratic. My daughter is now afraid to go outside at night!

Bright metallic shaped orb in the southern sky. It hovered for 2-3 minutes and then began moving slowly to the west for 10 seconds and vanished.

Larnaka, Larnaca District, Cyprus
Sometime in the early afternoon I had noticed a relatively large spherical object hovering between two buildings in the Drosia area of Larnaca. I know the skyline relatively well and so it caught my attention. The object seemed to be built in 3 parts, the top was seemingly a polished silver, the middle was also a similar color but with square indents across the center, possibly windows but I couldn’t make it out for sure as I was approximately 2km away. There was also a red light that separated the middle from the bottom portion that spanned across the center of the sphere to the right edge from my perspective - a long thin light that did not blink or spin with the object. And the bottom seemed a darker metal like iron. What was strikingly odd was that the object was hovering in place but the top and bottom parts were spinning counter to each other, I cannot recall which directions but for example the top was spinning counter clockwise and the bottom was spinning clockwise while the center portion was still. I had observed this for a considerable amount of time with my glasses on.

Duncan (Canada), BC · Canada
July 5th 13:30 pdt Duncan, British Columbia Saw a small bright object, white, or perhaps metallic reflection, very high, moving north. Looked like a satellite, or perhaps the space station. The odd thing was, it stopped. We watched for some minutes as the object went from a clearly northerly path to what seemed like a geosynchronous position. After some minutes it faded, obscured I think by atmospheric pollution. This object was very high... My first thought was Starlink, but the sudden cessation of motion was pretty weird. Anyway; green men is my last suspicion; so if there's anyone else who saw this who has some explanation..

A bright orange spherical light was seen moving from the southeast to the northwest like one would expect from a low altitude plane. However, there was no noise heard and only a single light, no beacon. I immediately started recording the object with my phone. The light appeared to travel in the sky as a typical small aircraft would. Approximately 2,000 feet in the air and moving in a straight line while maintaining altitude. The object was lost to view in the clouds to the NW after approximately 2 minutes.

There I was, sitting on the dock of the cove. I was minding my own business, enjoying some tobacco and the company of people around me. All of a sudden, within the Southwest night sky, a spherical, red craft appeared. The craft was moving steadily at approx. 4.8 knots. The craft traveled approx. 0.8 nautical miles across the sky.

Bright orange light in black circular vehicle. Seen twice first time was a 20 seconds. It came back around second time it was seen longer for about five minutes. My neighbors are lighting fire works all around, so it's not a firework and vehicle is at about 1,000 feet. Can't be a helicopter heard no motors. After a few minutes the bright orange light dimmed and the vehicle was out of site. I am located in the LaGuardia Airport flight path, so it the same height of a plane, but it seemed larger than jetliner.

I have seen meteors, that streak and burn out fast, satellites as well as the ISS many times and know that the time it takes for them to travel across the sky is much slower than the object I observed .

In backyard watching community fireworks from a distance and saw a orange orb in the sky that moved to a couple different spots very quick. It would stay still then it took off extremely fast and we instantly knew what we saw but knew no one would believe us. started hearing similar stories so decided to post it here 6 months later.

I noticed a single red circle going at a medium slow rate from the south to the north. Then noticed three other crafts .much smaller than the first object moving the motion and direction. The first craft just faded away as the other three where in pursuit of the single craft.you could see all three red balls streek off into a Cloud.and then only two came out into the clear sky as one of the three disappeared, I watched for the third one to come out of the cloud, but never came into sight .these things didn't make any sound

We went outside to watch the neighborhood fireworks. I observed 2 red orbs over the neighborhood directly south from us. I pointed them out to my wife and son. We had originally assumed they we drones but never saw them go up or down. After hearing the report of 2 red orbs over Beloit, WI, (about 60mi SW from me) I'm starting to believe we witnessed the same 2 orbs.

As per my previous report, I just filmed a red UFO in my backyard. I came into the house, went upstairs to put my bird inside. I looked out the front window and saw a very very bright light outside and the sky in front of the house. I immediately went downstairs went out the front door, and began to videotape the object. I have extensive footage video. When I was observing it it was at least 20 minutes. are times I videotaped and other times I just stared up at it. It seemed to change colors. It was initially White, but then it looked like it had like rays of colors coming down from it. It moved, it was way too big to be a drone. Much too bright in the way it maneuvered it definitely was not a done. Actually I layed down on my driveway drivto try to hold my camera steady. It was right up above the street. It almost appeared to be watching the fireworks. 5 doors down my neighbors are blowing off fireworks with their kids. after observing this orb for a period of about 20 minutes I walked over there and ask them if they could see it and I pointed at it they were amazed. Three adult males and three adult females and one child witness this event. I believe at least one person video taped it. it had moved from where it was when I initially saw it almost to have followed me and as soon as they put up their phones to videotape it it shot off into the distance and then dropped straight down find that houses. This event happened within just a few minutes of the previous Avant all right orb and the backyard. Will send link to photos still shots video. Thanks Denise

While watching private fireworks in the neighborhood, while in my mother's back yard, she and I observed and unusual light traveling from the ESE to WNW, traveling nearly directly overhead. The light was reddish and seemed to did not blink. I immediately began to record the object on video using my phone camera. I have attached the link to the videos in a separate email to ufocntr@nwlink.com. There are two videos on my cell phone, which I've upload to my Amazon photos account. Twenty minutes after the first observation, I witnessed a second object, identical to the first. It is possible that I observed the same object twice. The second object was traveling the same trajectory as the first, just a few hundred feet to the north of the first path. Though not clear in the video (at least on my phone screen), the object(s) appeared spherical, especially the first sighting after it passed over my position (was headed away). At first, it appeared to be just a reddish light in the sky, but then clearly had a size that was not illuminated. When reviewing the video, as it retreated to the WNW, the first object has an interesting pattern visible in its structure upon my zooming in with the camera functions. Unfortunately, the microphone on my phone's camera was disabled, but the objects produced no sound, although they appeared to be only a few hundred feet in altitude above my position.

I was sitting in my backyard the night of July 4th watching fireworks. I saw a red light above my head at first I thought it was a drone, but the way it moved no drawn that I know of can move like that. It moved back and forth up and down sharp angles and very quickly. I went to grab my cell phone to capture it on video. By the time I pulled my camera up, it appeared to be hiding behind a cloud. I could see a faint red orb. then from behind the cloud I saw a bunch of flashing multi-colored lights like a strobe disco light. I came out from behind the cloud and I was videoing it or trying to. I followed it, it started to move away as soon as I started recording it. I followed it for several yards I think. The orb went straight back went straight back and then dropped straight down next to the Moon I also saw a flash of something out of the corner of my eye on the right hand side but I was busy trying to video the red orb. I examined the video and there are cle! arly three objects in some of the frame 1 being the Moon, two other objects unknown. literally 5 minutes after this encounter I brought my bird inside the house without the front window I saw a bright white light in front of the house and I will make a separate report for that sighting that one there were several adult witnesses and a couple of children. I have extensive footage of that for that event lasted about 30 minutes. I have both still shots and video.

On July 4th, 2020, we saw a strange amber orb descend from sky. After zooming in I noticed two lights aligned vertically. Bottom one faded in and out and finally disappeared. I have to mention it was eerily quiet ..and it was the 4th!!!!

walking on street looked up and noticed One reflective/bright sphere shape object moving from NW to SE. about 5 minutes later another turquoise/blue bright object (sphere) appeared and then disappeared after 30 seconds. First object continued moving towards SE and faded away.
