MOUNT OLIVET, KY
Ok so it was between 9 or 10 pm, Like early December and believe it or not it was not that cold out yet, And it was a clear night sky, I needed to grab something out of my truck and as soon as I stepped out my front door I could not help but notice that the moon looked way brighter than usual, At least that's what I thought it was, As I was making my way to my truck which was like around 30 yards away, I got around 10 ft away and all of a sudden, And I mean fast the light came down and had to be around 30 to 50 ft above me, It was circular and fully lit but not like a flash light, Like the moon, It takes a lot to scare me, And this did, When it came down over top of me, I remember I opened my truck door tucked my head inside, Like I was trying to hide from it, Instantly I knew that was not working so I slammed the door ran back to my house, Slammed that door, Locked it, Ran to my bedroom slammed that door Locked it, Jumped into my bed and just layed there totally silent and trying to figure out what I saw for probably an hour, Freaked me out.

This has been going on for quite some time. Finally catching the attention of others in the neighborhood with the frequency of aircraft with spotlights now a nightly occurrence. Last night was 2 passes of low flying helicopters over me, with at least 8-10 passes of small aircraft at a very low elevation. The object are very well camouflaged against the its surroundings. Following light patterns with objects up high, the lower small crafts can be seen with close attention. The shape is seen when you pick up a the camouflaged distorted image. Once locked on to it, it can be easily tracked. they come down as low as 10ft from my back yard. I have taken many videos, does not come through well. The camera picks up on the lights, which are moving in unison together at a rapid rate. I have been trying to edit the exposure to better see, it's just not my something understand enough to know how to properly edit. The video I attached, is the best i got so far that makes out the shape of the craft, if you look closely, again, the object has good camouflage technology

West Salem, OR
On December 7th 2022, at about 5 :30 pm, I was driving with my children in the car when my daughter shouted that there is a ufo in the sky when we were driving in West Salem. The object was a black, oval shaped, it had lights on it, and was very large. It was hovering in the sky without moving, it was hovering there, silent. ( We rolled the window down and didn't hear anything. Something that large...so strange for it to be silent.) We absorbed it for about a good 30 seconds. We had to turn off the road so I never found out where it went, it was not there on the way home down the same street. I previously reported a few years ago how I saw disk ufos and I was with my daughters at night around the same time. This one seemed to be triple the size of the ones I witnessed a few years ago. Incidentally, about a month ago I looked out my window one evening and saw a large, black, disk shaped craft hovering over my neighbors house. It was so quick, so I couldn't capture it on camera. I have pictures of this event the other day, they are blurry, my daughter took as I was driving.

While in cruise, a bright, oval shaped light appeared ahead and at a slightly higher altitude than our aircraft. A second, similar light suddenly appears much closer and to the right of us. Both lights suddenly disappear. After the encounter I started to video similar objects but at a much higher altitude (at least above 50,000 feet) and much farther away. As you will see in the video, there are several lights that accelerate at an astonishing rate only to come to a stop. In over 30 years of flying, I have seen meteors, satellites and even a comet (Hale Bop) but never anything like this close encounter followed by the moving lights in Space. I have recently spoken with a few fellow airline pilots including a close friend of mine that have either personally witnessed or have at least heard of similar lights.

My son recorded a UAP while on a commercial flight going from Florida to Puerto Rico. The UAP is a dark circle/dot and moves through the clouds, changing the color of the clouds as it nears each cloud it passes by and through. The clouds change an orangish red color as the object nears them and completely passes through them. This happens multiple times until my son loses sight of the object. Kevin Smith

On our way home from Santa Cruz. We were driving north. I was in the backseat and looked west and began staring at what i thought was the moon at first because of its size and brightness. after about 10 seconds i began to realize the moon wouldnt be in that location at that time of night. the craft was glowing a bright yellow color. it was about 2:00am. about the time i realized what i was looking at the craft moved inside of a cloud which began to glow the same yellow color. I told my friends in the front seat to look. i became very emotional and began to cry out of amazement from what i was looking at. this object was massive unlike anything ive seen in the sky before. it was about 200 yards in length. my frienda began to freak out when they saw the glowing clouds. we were still driving north and about 20 seconds later the craft and cloud had dissappeared behind a hill. we turned around to try and find it again but it had vanished. we drove west instead of north attempting to chase it but no other lights were seen.

It had 4 alternating flashing bright white lights. Then it stopped moving and just hovered way, way, way up in the clear blue sky. Then a passenger jet came flying right up under it. Then while I was talking to 911 operator reporting it I looked in the sky and it was gone. Vanished into thin air. It just totally vanished. It came into the sky from nowhere then it just totally vanished!

On a flight from São Paulo to London, flying at 36,000 feet above the English Channel at 2:15PM UTC I spotted a strange object flying at a similar altitude from my window seat. I thought it was some kind of military aircraft to begin with, however it quickly changed into a flat, oval type shape, rotated vertically and horizontally. Once this had happened, I began to film the video that I’m going to attach to this report. The still photos were taken when I believed it to be a military aircraft. The object appeared to remain in the same place for a short while, before flying off leaving a white trail behind it. The colour of the object was a grey / black, it did not change, however its shape did, as I mentioned previously. There was only one and I did not see any other strange movements / activity.

Portsmouth, NH
While running in my neighborhood in the early morning, I took these photos of some strange oval objects in the sky which I did not immediately notice until I looked at the photos afterwards and also noticed the objects left a trail as well. I later remembered that about 10 minutes earlier I saw a flash of light in the sky out of the corner of my eye from a different angle but thought nothing of it and presumed it was a shooting star. Still thinking maybe these are just balloons or drones but not sure.

First noticed sometime right after 11 pm from my back yard. The craft was West of me moving slowly and silently a few houses over; it was close enough to see individual lights on the craft. It appeared to have red lights on the top and white on bottom. Ran up stairs to 2nd story balcony to visualize again as it was flying so low that it disappeared from my view behind trees and neighbor's houses. Craft was flying slowly in a SE direction. Filmed for about 2 minutes while still visible. Returned downstairs to star gaze from the hot tub. Approximately 5 minutes had past since it disappeared from the vantage point of my South facing upstairs balcony when I noticed a large star that was directly South of me and looked unusual. It was the craft just hovering in the sky, at this point it appeared to be higher in the sky than when first visualized, maybe 100 ft or more above the ground. In a sudden and unexpected burst of speed it zipped in a straight line flying directly South. From my vantage point it almost looked like a shooting star and had a downward looking trajectory, but I believe it was actually flying horizontal to the South and the appearance was based on its height above and South of my view. Total time of craft being in my area was about 10 min, but I did not have eyes on the craft the whole time as it was being blocked by trees and houses.

I was driving south east on Rand Road, and saw an oval shaped object that was sitting vertically made of shiny metal. The object disappeared suddenly and then reappeared to the far right of me while I was driving, hovered there and then completely disappeared in thin air.

Moving east to west, inside atmosphere. Moving too fast for satellite and elevation deceptive. Could have been 10’ wide at 10,000 ft. Or ? At 50,000 ft. Silent.

Bright lights all around red color remembered the most.. round or oval looked like a space ship..I was looking that way..at it..by chance. ..the light.. I look at the sky alot when I'm outside. Then all of a sudden it went straight up.. lifted up. Shocked me cause it all of a sudden lifted up..then flew over.dont remember any noise..at a decent.. medium speed flew over..no pictures. Also .what are the clusters of lights in the (city )sky now.. That don't look like night stars anymore ..I'm from the country where skies dark filled with stars..here in city.. These don't look like stars… spike clusters of light..clear..and reddish.

I was checking my oil in the Dollar General Store parking lot and saw 3 objects flying over me. Close enough that I could get a good look. They looked like 3 small silver Goodyear shaped balloons with no markings

I Saw it just as dawn was coming. Not sure if it was illuminating or smooth white because the edges where defined. It was egg shaped or oval and had no wings or green and red blinking lights. It flew into a sharp elongated cloud and I expected it to come out the other side but didn't. Then other clouds overlapped. After this I lost sight of it. It did not go fast or fast any right angles.

I take sunrise/sunset pictures almost daily, same spot by my home, and one day I say a cloud that wasn't moving, and had an odd shadow for it's position. When I zoomed in, I saw it was shaped like Saturn's rings, but when I checked the maps, that's not where Saturn was, found something similar now a month later on the opposite end during sunrise, so I'm posting both starting with this one! The pictures are from a 4 minute time period

working outside and one flew over my left side toward brooks hill.then another came right over my head looked like a orb.It was huge .Had a orange light or fire on right side.Had shadow of a thing like flying squirrel in the center.I called my girlfriend and had on the phone when I seen it and was telling her.It took off real fast before I could get a picture.It looked like it came down a bit and was going to crash into brooks hill .Then I could not see where it went.Five minutes or so I seen a shooting star and a thing that looked like a blue rocket came from from the other way .Then another one was over my right side and went to the right of brooks hill. These things are flying super fast.Nothing like a jet.It went so fast I could not get a picture.I was not going to report this ,but it's been bothering me.

I was driving east on the m65 when I saw a floating oval/potato shaped object in the sky. It moved really strangely to the right, quite a distance in very little time. I say very strangely because it was very smooth and almost instant. It then shimmered, like a wave, like it was reflecting light almost. It was then that i could see the full shape of it, which was a potato/ oval shape. It then just disappeared. I genuinely cannot name what it was.

I was outside with the dog, who started barking. There were no other people or animals in sight. Then I saw a very fast moving, oval but slightly rectangular craft overhead increase in speed and suddenly move across the sky and out of sight. I thought maybe it was a drone at first, but it was absolutely silent, too large, and accelerated way too fast to be a drone. It seemed to reflect the light of the moon and street light, but did not have any lights on. It was bigger than a canoe, but smaller than a car. No aircraft that I know of could be that silent and close to the ground while moving through the air, or accelerate that quickly at a low altitude. I could not hear it at all, just the wind rustling nearby leaves. Then it flew out of sight past the tree line toward the lake.

Rio Rancho, NM
I saw what I believe to be some sort of flying saucer last month. I was coming home to visit my parents after work and saw it when I got out of my car at their house. It was a windy night and I could visibly see the clouds moving but these lights weren’t moving and they blocked out the stars behind it in an oval shape and that’s what caught my attention. Some facts: • I was located near Rio Rancho, New Mexico • I saw it when visiting my parents. I parked and was walking around the car to go inside when I saw it • We are approximately 15miles North of Kirtland Air Force Base • The object I saw seemed to be at around 40,000 feet above ground level • It was tilted around 30ish degrees to the side • It had one bright light in the middle and several smaller ones on the “back” (my guess based on the direction it was tilted) with one smaller one on the front • It stayed still in one spot for approximately 5 minutes. I was able to run inside and grab my camera and change the lens to my long lens and get a few photos of it in about 1 minute before it just vanished. It was very hard to get focus on it (not unusual at full zoom, the lens is old) • When it vanished it kind of just faded. The best (nerdy) comparison I can describe is shadowmeld from WoW, like it just increased in transparency over a split second until it was gone • I am a published photographer- It was already dark so I had to handhold the camera and manually set the shutter speed as long as possible to minimize the ISO and get the clearest shot possible. I used a 300mm lens on a micro 4/3 camera for an equivalent focal length of 600mm. I had trouble getting focus and I tried a few combos of shtter speed and iso so I have more out of focus shots than in-focus ones • It seemed to be on the East side of the ridge of the Sandia mountains • There are several radio towers near the crest of the Sandia mountains. The object was far too high to be one of them, as well as the fact that the towers have red lights and the object was bright white light. I have taken pictures of the towers before and they look nothing like the object. I told my friends about this encounter and 2 of them told me it has to be the radio towers but I know it wasn’t. • I’m a minor aviation geek and it was absolutely not a plane, but it did seem to be about the height that commercial airliners fly. If I had to guess, the size would be about twice as long as a 767 • The elevation where I’m at is about 5,280 feet exactly, the mountains are about 5,000feet higher than that.

The object was bright, high altitude, stationary for some time, then high speed erratic flight movement, then stationary again. Viewed from yard looking south southeast (probably over Tampa, Fl) at approximately 30-50,000 feet altitude. Not a drone, not a starlite, no tail. Please advise.
