I was outside in the hot tub when a long white light was shooting horizontally across our front yard, it was below the tops of the trees, maybe 20ft above the ground. As the line grew in length the front of it expanded into a circle which seemed to grow about 12 inches in circumference and then poof, disappeared into thin air. It was very quiet after and I was a bit in shock.

It was dark outside and I was in my basement. I looked out the window at the back of our house and saw a massive light pink jellyfish two houses down in front of the neighbours driveway at 150 Elkhart Lane. It was so big, about the length of two cars from top to bottom and the width of one car. All I could see was the jellyfish through the window with no flying saucer or other light source that could have projected the light. Although I do recall seeing a strange large silver projector like device at the end of the driveway recently.

I was walking my dog this evening around 7:00 p.m. when I looked up in the sky and I saw a cylinder shaped object flying towards our direction. I couldn't quite make out the color but it looked whitish. As it flew closer to us it shifted about 180° and at that point looked like a black donut. I thought it was strange because I could see the sky through the center of the donut. It bopped around for a while and then started flying at a high speed. There was no sound emitting from the craft nor lights or wings.

The vertical object was plainly visible yet my phone was unable to pick it up. It was difficult to judge the distance, it appeared to be moving down and away from me, I say away because it became smaller and smaller. It was so shocking to see because it was so visible and bright, no clouds or anything obscuring my line of sight. My first thought was it is moving down towards the ocean but then realized as it got smaller that it was moving east, away from me. The light had a white look and were in an organized dotted pattern. My first thought was of an LED type glow.

Very low flying extremely low flying object. No “wings”. Light at front and rear. Couldn’t really see object because of darkness but could see it’s shape from it being solid against a somewhat cloudy sky. What you could see was dark however at rear there was a white area. You could hear a hum of engine. Definitely not a plane unless a large cargo but no wings.

I am an early riser and as I do most clear mornings I was outside watching the sky for meteors, satellites, and rocket bodies. I have an app (SkyView) on my phone which identifies around 50% of what I see. The sky was starting to lighten up so I was getting ready to go inside when I spotted what I first thought was a contrail forming off to the north. Then I realized that the size was not changing as it moved across the sky getting closer. As it started to cross in front of me I was caught off guard by its cylindrical shape with a stainless steel kind of exterior and no sound. Not expecting what I was seeing I only had my phone to snap a couple pictures. Starlink

Montara
Large cylindrical structure was seen at the top of mountain adjacent Montara State Beach area in the vicinity of Montara CA. While travelling North on Highway 1 (Cabrillo Highway) along the Northern California coast, as we rounded a bend in the highway we spotted a large, cylinder-shaped “structure/object” at the top of one of the mountains in close proximity to another (man-made) structure. At first, it appeared this structure was some sort of large parking garage as it had a cork screw pattern running up its side. It was tall, completely smooth and a cylinder in shape. It was white with a black stripe moving up the structure in a cork screw pattern. At the top of the structure were a number of smooth silver cylinders that were capped with smooth silver spheres. To the right of the silver cylinders was some sort of object appearing to hang over the edge of the structure. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a good look at this hanging object. The structure was tall and looked very out of place for the surroundings which is why we first noticed it. Both myself and the other witness studied the object for one to two minutes before our attention was momentarily drawn to the surrounding highway traffic. When I looked back to continue looking at this cylindrical object, it had vanished and was nowhere to be seen. As we rounded the mountain where the cylinder had been, we could see the backside of the mountain which was vacant with no indication any type of structure/object had been there.

My name is (deleted) I live in Southern Arizona and captured these pictures September 1st around 8:37 pm. The one picture was the flash on the iPhone flashing, the other photo is with out flash, and the video is not the craft moving around but me trying to keep the view of it in the screen, I don’t have super fancy video editing controls but I was able to manipulate the contrast hue ei and you can defiantly see metallic shape, in the video which was after the snap shot the 2 lights were now only one light. This area is restricted airspace, and in 2 years living here I have never seen nor heard aircraft in the area from my back yard. I hope this finds you and you can give me your thoughts Thank you

I submitted a detailed report yesterday. Strangest thing yesterday is that ravens were squawking while I was videoing the object yesterday morning. I rarely see ravens around this downtown area. This morn I heard a huge commotion on my rooftop patio, only to go out and find two ravens there - and they were unafraid of me as I walked out and stood only 3 feet from them, and they just looked at me. One flew to the West edge of my patio, where I then, behind the raven, saw the SAME TIC TAC-looking object again this morning! I ran & grabbed my phone & immediately began to video, and even in the video you can see a raven flying in it - LOL! I don't know if the object cloaked/disappeared or what, or if maybe my trying to zoom in or focus with my iPhone 12 caused this - but again, it disappeared, then was so vague I couldn't see it again until it was almost out of my sight near the roof turret. Same activity: It basically just strolled over the western Denver metro area up from the South (AFA/NORAD/Cheyenne Mountain/AFA maneuvers areas) and all along the foothills toward the north where I lost sight of it. I forgot to wait and look for any post-sighting B52s or other aircraft but didn't notice any or hear any before returning inside to look at what I'd captured. Shorter video today but you can see it's the same thing, or one like it. How is it that I'm the only one seeing/reporting this that I know of, I wonder. The video is about the same length as yesterday, same thing - it goes invisible or fuzzy, whole scene goes fuzzy in my video, then clears up again near the end of my ability to see it. I heard no sound at all. Same height, maybe 200-300 feet high-ish? Maybe at a 15-25 degree angle from the ground from my perspective. Video is attached. Love to know what it is if it's 'ours'. Hoping to hear from you. Thanks!

Littleton (Denver metro area), CO
I may be a bit behind the times on UFO news as I don’t typically follow it but I’ve seen UFOs before, one within 10 feet of me a few decades back, and thus direct evidence has proven to me they exist. While reports suggest UFO sightings are on the rise and even the military is reporting them regularly and in droves, however, it remains almost impossible to figure out where to report events like this. There doesn’t appear to be any ‘official’ protocol for it unless one is military. Even the Air Force instructs one to report them to independent, non-military reporting organizations. Local police won’t take a report since it doesn’t involve a ‘crime’. The feds now have an “All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office” but I didn’t find an option to report sightings to them and the names and groups of federal task forces for our country’s defense seems to change like the wind. Streaming groups and organizations like TV shows and such dish out info but don’t seem to accept it. No doubt volume and crazies play into this but there really seems to be a need for an official in-take system for legitimate sightings, a place for the rational public to share information that one would think is of interest to them. Then again, maybe they already know… Yesterday morning, Sunday, August 28, 2022, I was enjoying a cup of coffee on my downtown old Littleton rooftop patio when a slow-moving object to the West caught my eye beyond and just above the level of the roof of the apartment building across the street. I could immediately see its shape and observed that it appeared to look just like the ‘tic tac’ objects reported in more-recent news affairs. It was white and appeared to be shaped like a ‘Tic Tac’ or propane tank. It was not far away as the foothills are approximately five (5) miles west of my residence. The object appeared to be between me and the foothills, closer to the foothills, and moving along northbound following the edge of the foothills. Lighting was good as the sun was up and shining directly at and on the object. It’s height was low, perhaps at the level a very small plane or local helicopters might travel. It was coming from the south which area includes the USAF Academy, Cheyenne Mountain/NORAD, etc., and its path was close to the same area the USAF sometimes does maneuvers on Sunday mornings or quiet days when it has the skies. What was most unusual to me and made the object stand out, or I may not have otherwise noticed it, was not any unusually rapid speed or directional change at speed, but the slow speed at which it was moving in comparison to its size which appeared to me to be about 30-40 feet long. It left no observable propulsion trail. It was surrounded by an aura. It was silent. I grabbed my iPhone 12 and took an initial video of 59 seconds which is time noted as 9:40am. I took a second shorter video after moving around a rooftop turret, not seeing it on that side, and then going back to the original side of the turret and realizing I could still see it in the distance, still moving along the foothills, northward, it appeared. It’s speed did not seem to change much although the image seems to jump, including forward, a bit here and there. It’s not possible for me to know if that was a camera anomaly or the object itself. Within only a few minutes I observed directly straight above my head, possibly coming from Buckely Air Force Base on the east side of Denver because it came from that direction, a pure white plane-shaped object that I thought looked unreal due to its whiteness/luminosity. It almost seemed transparent and it was in a bird-like shape I was unfamiliar with. I immediately videotaped it, as well, but objects on a phone screen are so small one can barely tell if you’re capturing the object or not and I didn’t get much of that. The ‘plane’-shaped object appeared to turn north in my video, perhaps behind the ‘tic tac’ object which by now was perhaps over the Arvada area, I’d guess, but I’m uncertain where the plane object ended up. It disappeared from my eyesight before I could tell where it went. Planes fly overhead often during the day and much of the night here and from my roof I can observe quite a lot. The sound in the original video I took is not from the observed object but from a commercial plane that had just gone overhead of me from SW to NE toward DIA and which sound was fading. I believe the sound in the plane video is also background noise and from a different direction, possibly echoing off of the turret/metal roof. I have excellent hearing and did not discern any noise whatsoever from the direction of either the ‘tic tac’ or the second object, although I was less focused on ‘sound’ when observing the plane-looking object, which seemed higher up in altitude and so farther away, as well. I right away began reviewing my video images for a closer look. There seemed to be a black area oscillating in the middle of the object and in some still frames the object almost appeared to be two halves with black in the middle. I also performed some image editing on my phone which resulted in interesting pictures, one with quite unusual black background images (possibly a phone anomaly?) and one which, once ’noise’ and such was removed, made the ’tic tac’ object appear to be more linear in shape under the outside whiteness, with lights perhaps at the ends or rotating around it, or back and forth such as in Physics’ ’String Theory’. I did not alter the original videos at all and they remain as originally taken. Still images provided are frame shots taken from the video(s). Both objects seemed to be able to ‘cloak’ but I’m not able to tell if the disappearing and/or blurring/cloaking is a phone camera anomaly, possibly related to focusing?, or actually what the camera saw. It did not seem like it was the camera though, and even when looking at the videos zoomed in you can still see the haze around the area where the object is. Additionally, the ’tic tac’ object later came back into clearer view once it got further away from me. I’m not a camera expert, though, nor do I know the limitations of an iPhone 12 camera. Today I video’d other planes in the same area of the sky in the morning time and those same ‘disappearance from view’ and ‘cloaking’ events did not occur… I have a couple more freeze-frame photo shots I can share but was limited to five uptake images. Please let me know if you cannot open any of the five attachments and I can re-send them via email or something. I next began searching through online information to determine where and how to report such a sighting. I found nothing other than a local Colorado website accepting submissions and other social media sites discussing same, none of which were ‘official’. I found advertisement of the History Channel’s “Unidentified” show and I’ve seen some shows about Skinwalker Ranch, both of which purport to consist of teams of former ‘official’ personnel so I tried to find ways to contact them but have been unsuccessful. I called my local Littleton Police Department (Officer Oren) who advised me they don’t take reports but he asked for the video so I sent it to him. He verified no other persons had reported the sighting to the Littleton P.D. I looked up the U.S. Air Force information about reporting sightings and found, shockingly, that their official instruction is to report sightings - of UFOs flying immediately over a heavily-populated metropolis such as this Denver metro area of around 3M or more, to an independently, privately-run site called "National UFO Sightings". I called there and spoke with a seasoned gentleman who explained they are rather a UFO ’newsletter’ source for all other news or agencies to pull reports from. He encouraged me to submit a report and the imaging and I plan to do so. I sent a brief notice to two local TV news stations (9 News and Fox News) but no one reached out to me. Interestingly, and perhaps it’s confirmation of my sighting, I now believe the ‘pla

A cylindrical object appeared in my north east facing window which attracted my attention because of its brightness and color and smooth motion. I went to look out the back door of my house and watch as it headed northwest briefly but it quickly faded and was lost to sight. It was unusual because of its shape and brightness and orange color, but also because it appeared to have two dangling legs that were bright and orange also. Not something I have seen before. It move quickly but not like a meteor more like the speed of the ISS when it flies over. It appeared bigger so I assume at a low altitude. It seemed to have some twinkling or movement to the light. It was traveling southeast to northwest. I have seen Chinese lanterns before. Could be a new and improved model but the whole thing seemed to be reflecting light? No center burning look. Just unusual and that is why I am reporting. No time to get a photo unfortunately. It would be nice to know if anyone else in the area saw it.

Coming back from walking my dog, on my sidewalk by front door, I see a flowing cylinder shape coming over my roof top. It was green I believe and silent. I thought it was a firework from neighbor and grabbed my dog thinking its going to explode on us or near us. I ran the house with the dog, went right back out to see what happened and the object was rising up in the sky. I grabbed my phone and filmed it. I was thrown off by the reflection on the screen. I think it is a reflection of moon that is bouncing all over and I kept moving around to see if there were other lights floating around. But they light TV at is more stationary above the street light was the one I was filming. It moved very slowly and eventually moved out of sight. Thought probably a drone but not convinced. It came over my roof almost like and animation or laser beam type light as it left a trail. Completely see through. And when it rose was more circular and no trail. Contact me by text only please.

I was standing outside on 23/8/22 at approx (21:30) 9:30pm facing north north west looking in the direction of Cygnus when this fast cylinder shape came out of the north heading south illuminated only by the city lights with no sound. The size at arms length would have been an inch and I approximate it's speed to be around 1500 to 2000 mph as it covered my field of view in less than half a second if that. It was so fast that had I not have been looking in that direction it may as well as not to have happened. By far the fastest thing I have ever witnessed and am glad to have at least seen it. I actively scan the night sky nightly for such things and have caught some on video and will continue to do so but this item flew by in a blink of an eye. Keep looking up!

I glanced out of our front window to look for the Northern lights.which were supposed to be visible in NH skies this evening. I saw a long bright cylindrical light in the sky traveling from the Northwest towards the Northeast. I shut of our light and called to my husband. He watched it moving through the sky and told me to get the camera. He said it looked a bit orange to him and while I tried to get the camera to come on he said it just faded away like it was cloaking itself. I could not get a picture in that time frame. The object did not have any blinking lights and it moved very quickly. There was not any difference in brightness or mass on any part of it's shape. It was the same brightness from one end to the other. NUFORC: Starlink
