There was one, followed by another one and then four together like a square, followed by four more in a single line. Then, one by one, each flew higher into the clouds until out of sight. They appeared be bright yellow in color.

My wife and I were sitting outside on our terrace approximately between 7 and 10pm. I was looking up at the night sky enjoying the view of Mars. At around 9:30pm I noticed an object cruising at a very high altitude between Mars and the first star of the big dippers handle. I first thought that I was watching a satellite, but it's speed was too slow. I showed my wife what it was I was looking at and when I pointed it out right before the first star of the big dipper the object stopped. Within the next few seconds the object got very bright and shot straight up and disappeared within a few seconds.

Our back garden faces south. Approx 70 degrees up from horizon, this object I spotted with my partner against a cloud initially. Ran inside and got my phone to record what I could. Speed appeared to be constant until end when I felt it was accelerating and changing direction slightly. No sound. Object was black, spherical, no wings no vapour trail and not anything I have seen or could recognise. The snap shots of the object in screen shots appeared to show a slight halo or could just be the image distorting at max zoom

Middleburg, FL
I was star gazing as I do every night and I saw this one weird looking star I thought it was a planet but my guy said it was a plane so I decided to download a stargazing app so I could prove him wrong but by the time I pulled it up I went to look to see which planet the object was and it had moved to right above my head. So I videoed it for about 20 minutes before I got a friend to verify and double check to confirm I wasn’t crazy. So he came out and thought it was a plane until he stared at it and was like “ No way, that things not moving” and he proceeded to freak out with me. This object was NOT a plane, it wasn’t a planet, nor was it a drone because it was in the sky looking like a star and really far away. I’m hoping my video will send so you all can see and check this out with me!! Good ole Middleburg has now confirmed a real ufo sighting !!!

The ufo was in the tree line right outside my window the object was too close and fast to be a plane and made no noise from what i could hear in bed. 6 very orange lights in a almost perfect circle moved straight ahead almost seemed like it was heading toward my direction and went past my window. Very strange and looked nothing like I’ve ever seen it seemed too large to be a drone but too small and quiet to be a plane.

They were not flares. Had a thunder sound with automatic sounds. You could also feel some sort of energy. No airport in that location. Two to three at a slow steady pace. Possible UFO ship, because it slowly paced at the same level for five minutes.

One single ball or circular light traveling at high speed from west to east. My husband and I watched this UAP for about 3 min. In witch it faded out and disappeared. I recorded this UAP from my back yard we were burning off some brush do you will see that flame light in the background. The fire on video makes the UAP to look like it flickers a few times. But this UAP was a solid bright light . I did take two videos. The second video shows the UAP behind the tree in my yard. So you will see what looks like flickering but it's just behind the tree branches.

The object did not move. It stayed in one position the whole time. The sun was reflecting, quite brightly off the bottom of it. Through a pair of binoculars, I was able to see the lights rotating counter clockwise

Initially thought it was a plane at first glance but the object shape made me second look. Object was still solid and super flat and large. Couldn’t believe my eyes. I was driving and trees covered the area for like 15-20 seconds and once I reached the freeway there was a streak of light smoke going up. The only thing my son was able to get a picture of. A small plane later flew by the area and I know for certain that the object was huge and not a plane. Picture taken 5-10 minutes after it disappeared

I saw a small craft flying at low altitude directly above me as a was looking at star constellations. I'm not against it being a drone but it was travelling at a high rate of speed. It took about 5 seconds for it to cross the skyline. It was very dim. Drones I've seen have bright lighting for pilot visual identification. This was no drone I've seen. Also I believe it was flying at an altitude of @ 2-5 thousand feet. Drones don't fly that high.

I noticed a round, metallic object in the sky that was flashing. I took some videos and zooming in it looks like it is spinning rapidly. It hovered in the same spot for about half an hour, then disappeared in the blink of an eye. Saw it next to a plane that flew by, and it was over double the size. I have a few short videos but did not take video of the entire visit. I had problems loading the files, but I can send all videos if required.

I was looking out my bedroom window at the rear of our home. My original goal was to see if neighbors were still outside so I could let my dog out. The brightness of the object caught my eye. I grabbed my phone with the intent of enlarging the object but I decided to record three videos. In the video the object can be seen as what I say is either a jelly fish type motion or that of a beating heart, an in and out motion. This motion is not from myself or my camera the object was really moving this way. I lay down in bed after watching it for about 15-20 min. I got up about 1/2 hour after lying down, looked out the window again and the object was gone. Please forgive my language in the video. I guess you could say I was shocked. 40.79241° N, 77.83972° W Coordinates

My husband and I spotted what looked like one large white weather balloon about 10,000-30,000 ft (airplane height) moving very slowly in sky at the speed of a slow cloud. Moving southeast. Object did not appear to emit light but reflected sun - was initially yellow orange from sunset, then white after sunset, then disappeared as it grew dark. Observed with naked eye and binoculars. Object did not photograph well with cell phone. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Probable]

San Diego, CA
A random monsoon cloud started sprinkling but it was sunny so I went out to take a slow-motion video of the raindrops and saw it while I was looking up. I thought maybe it was a meteor coming in or a satellite reflecting the sunlight, but thought it was too early for that I soon realized it was flying in a straight trajectory at a high rate of speed, was very puzzled by its donut shaped appearance. It was also very, very reflective as if made of chrome I research weather balloons and couldn’t find any donut shaped weather balloons, and this was moving way too fast to be a balloon as well. I’ve seen weather balloons reflect in the evening before, this was different. It was clearly traveling faster than an airliner would. As a point of reference, I can see the planes coming in to land at Lindbergh field from my house and it was moving much much faster. That’s all I got.

I woke up after midnight. I saw, what I first thought, to be a star. It was very bright, after few minutes it started eminating light as if 2 lightning bulbs were close to each other. Then it started to move in a weird manner. As if it was hanged in the air, the move was slight but apparent, effortless, sometimes to the left, sometimes, to the right and up and sometimes doing a circle. In the duration of 1 hour it was in a complete different location on the sky. Sometimes it just hanged without any motion. What was really freaky is when I flashed my camera light, it made it to make a slight move, as if it saw my light. I was under the impression that whatever it was, it was watching

I saw it first, and I didn’t say anything. Semi straight line, but not perfect. Yellow haze around the objects. There was 4 circular objects, flying from one star to another. It came from one star, past at least 8 stars, then disappeared behind another star. It lasted for about 5 minutes, but when my family saw it, it disappeared less than 30 seconds after.

I was filming and noticed a bright object not blinking flying towards a stationary object of the same form. The object leaves the screen a bit because I lost sight of it and comes back quickly into the video and is flying back by the object it had originally flown by. No explanation or reason and I’ve never seen anything like it before. The second video is of the same object that night. As I was filming it around 230am as the object was stationary and if you look closely- you can see an object zoom by very quickly past the screen. Again- no explanations and when I was originally filming I didn’t even see the object pass by.

This object is moving so fast it could not be seen by the eye in real time. I happened to catch this when filming the Blue Angels in 30fps and did not notice until the following day. The object is moving from South to North across the sky at very high speeds. For reference at this moment the Blue Angles are moving at 200+ MPH in this video. The object appears at the 10sec mark of this video, between the Blue Angles grouping and the person in frame, at the top of the screen. I have confirmed with my camera that objects entering the frame after the record starts will also be slowed to 30fps. I know that it is requested to only submit objects seen, but this is object is moving so fast it would likely not been detected.

The 3 bright white circles were positioned dead center in west sky when I first saw through west facing kitchen window around 1015PM CDT on Aug 11, 2023. Constantly solid bright white. 3 circles moved super slowly right toward the north but still remained in western sky. Circles slowly drifting north stopped for a few moments as very stunning bright white swash, wider at top and tapering down at bottom looking almost like a tadpole, flew between top white circle and white circle on the left or north. The 3 circles, seemed interesting but unremarkable, but this swash felt to my eye and sensibility extremely energized. I am 81 years old. I neither believe in nor have I ever seen ghosts or UFOs. I am not attracted to sci fi and have never watched the series Star Wars because it would bore me. I report this only because of the swash which was quite spectacular and gave off an unmistakable energy when I saw it. I would have kept looking at it if had stayed in the field of the three circles but it appeared and left in about three blinks of my eyes. It was very beautiful. Wish I could see it again. If I do I'll let you know.

Silver cylindrical object with sequential orange lights. It was moving very slowly. It was reminiscent of a plane in its trajectory but was much more elongated and had a series of horizontal orange/red lights alternating with white lights. What really stood out is that it disappeared instantly.
