Miami, GA
I was driving northbound on I-95 to visit my mom with my daughter and I looked to my east (our right side while driving north bound) and noticed 3 lights that were in a triangle formation like an equilateral triangle. I asked my daughter what she saw she said "what are those mom"? she seemed as surprised as I was. We kept looking and saw the moved in synch. They were moving from equilateral to scalene triangle smoothly, but stayed in a formation of three the whole time we observed them. One became really bright and faded from view, the other two appeared to be moving toward us and my daughter noted "its coming this way" but then those 2 remaining lights also seemingly vanished. We live by Miami International Airport, we've observed drones at the beach, satellites while hiking in other states, this was not was not a helicopter, plane or drone. It was three lights forming a triangle, moving strangely and vanishing. The whole time we observed them we saw commercial planes flying by and are certain these were not other planes.

Objected passed by a plane during sighting. It had not flashing lights like the 4 other plane flying at the time. No sound was heard during sighting. It seems to be circular, emulating lights. No signs of propulsion or streaks emanating from object.

Riviera Maya, QUINTANA · Mexico
A strange light was moving back and forth in the sky. I captured it moving on film. While not on film, it eventually went from bobbing to moving in a straight path overhead. As it passed I saw the UAP had three lights in front. The three lights were only visible when it was going forward. I couldn’t see the shape of the object just the lights.

I was taking a picture of the sunset, and I didn’t notice the object at first. When I did, I thought it was a cloud, but that didn’t seem right to me since there were no other clouds in the area. I zoomed in on the picture and noticed the triangular shape and lights. When I looked back at the area of the sky where it was, it was gone. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Probable]

Union, ME
I was watching the demolition derby at the Union Fair, when I noticed a light in the sky out of the corner of my eye. I looked up and saw an apparently silent square (though it was more of what Google tells me is a squircle) of bright white light moving slowly across the sky. I glanced back to the derby, and then looked up again. The object was gone, but then reappeared. I looked back at the derby again, and when I checked again, the object was gone. I looked back, observing the sky but it was gone. Throughout the remainder of the demolition derby, I'd look back up, but I never saw it again.

Glencoe, MO
Last evening I was mountain biking to the top of Bluff View Trail in Glencoe/Eureka, Missouri. I got to the top and took 5-10 pictures of the view over the Meramec River. I didn't notice the UFOs in the images until I got home. The object only appeared in the 2 attached images within 5 seconds of each other. It is clearly moving south to north towards me at a high rate of speed. I checked my other images and there are no birds or objects in the sky. Based on the map it moved over 3+ miles in about 5 seconds., I'm estimating it was moving at over 2000 MPH. I didn't even see it in person, only after the fact on my photos.

Two black rectangular objects flying adjacent made their way from floating over the Long Island sound to disappearing below the tree line behind the Milstone Power Plant. It was noted that the craft were silent, had no lights, had no visible emissions, and there was no planes around these objects. They moved at a consistent rate.

Elk Grove, CA
I have seen and documented things flying around above elk grove for 20+ years. More in the past 2 years as I have started paying attention more. Today was different, almost nightly you will see white balls moving. Some fast some slow. Not planes and not any satellite I've ever seen. I've shown them to multiple people. I am also not actively hunting or looking. I see this when I'm walking to my house after parking or out front smoking a cigarette. I have never seen in broad daylight though. Few hrs ago. Blue sky day, no clouds, I went out to have a smoke. I look up and see a plane moving east. I'm facing east. We'll off to the left of the plane I see a little white ball. First thought it was a party balloon. But then it 90 degree turned left and it startled me. Then I got out my phone. I have the galaxy 23 ultra. Best camera on a phone. My zoom takes high res moon pics ok. I zoomed in at 200x just to see what it was and it was a sphere and was moving strange hard to keep track. That's where I snapped a few pics then switched to video. You can tell how zoomed in I am due to the size of my neighbors roof shingles and it helps see its movement since I'm surrounded by 2 story homes. Object was not a party balloon. It was massive. Much higher up than I thought originally too. At least commulercial jet height. It darted off behind the roof and I lost it. Then it reappeared to the right again and went back again behind the roof and I lost it. Tried running upstairs to a window but it was gone. It had incredibly speed and was able to change direction instantly. Absolutely amazing sight to see.

The 2 men who first witnessed the object, said they had been watching it for about 10 minutes. When they first saw it, it was 2 blocks away, near St. John Hospital. It was floating about 50 feet in the air. It "appeared" to be a black umbrella, 4 feet wide, with a white handle. There was no wind. When it was first pointed out to me, it looked like it was 300 feet in the air, and slowly ascending. After the 3 of us watched it for 10 minutes, one suggested I film it, which is when I started taking pictures and filming. From the moment it was first spotted, it was upside down the whole time. As it "floated", it maintained a swinging motion. When I first started filming, it was maybe 1500 feet high. It probably climbed another 500 feet, and after about 25 or 30 minutes, it went into a cloud, and never came out. Friends have told me there are many pictures/videos posted of this object on face book, taken from the Walmart parking lot, about a half mile from where I was. That was the general direction the object was headed. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Probable]

Millen, GA
Two friends and I were flying from Hilton head SC to Monroe GA in a Cessna 172 at about 6,300 feet. At approximately 1430 hours on July 30th 2023 over Millen Ga, I was looking out of the right side of our plane at some pastures below. I see a black sphere that looks metallic and reflecting sunlight, flying opposite of our heading roughly 1,000-1,500 feet below us. It seemed to be traveling around 80-90 knots while slightly turning right. It seemed to be no bigger than our Cessna.

Bedford, NH
No clouds, clear crisp blue skies. Breezy. In back yard doing yoga, laying on my back facing NW/W sky, heard & watched a helicopter pass thru my line of sight. Not common but not unusual for helicopters to fly in the area.... did noticed it looked gov't/official. I can't remember if my music turned off before or after the helicopter... either way I had to restart my playlist on my phone. I'm only mentioning this because you ask below.... otherwise no other issues and it started right back up. Not sure how soon after the helicopter, I noticed a distinct black dot above the tree lines (NW 320°). Suspended, not moving and completely still. The lack of movement against the vibrant blue skies are probably the only reason I noticed it... as we have a hawk nest near by and lots of bird/wildlife activity in our neighborhood. Don't know how long it was there or how long I watched it... maybe 30 seconds give or take the time it took me to comprehend this wasn't a hawk or sun spots. Then it moved. A fast smooth burst, stopped and moved again (W 270°). At this point, I'm thinking drone or UAP. I grabbed my phone, stood up and took 2 short videos capturing the object while it was hovering & flying in area. Note that while taking the videos I made the mistake of looking thru my phone and lost sight of the object on the screen. In video 1, I only saw a bird flying on my screen and actually dismissed the whole thing and stopped recording. However when I looked to the skies with my naked eyes I saw both the bird and object. I immediately started recording again and was able to zoom in a bit and pick it up. The object then vanished. It didn't return. A description of the object is difficult as I couldn't distinguish it's true shape as it seemed to look different depending on the angle it was flying. Black in color. I'm guessing that though it appeared to be the same size as a hawk/eagle or drone to the eye, it was a lot bigger and father away then appeared. Birds and drones also don't disappear into thin air. Object briefly visible in videos.

Gladwin, MI
Yeah, just lay down to start watching shooting stars my mom and my two kids. Within five minutes my mom said look at that shooting star which it was not. It was very low, very bright round, light coming from the south west from the direction of town. It was lower than a plane, but still high in the sky. It was headed in the north east direction, and when it started shifting directions, it got brighter like the source was angle at us. And then started heading north or more of a north west direction and rising. There was no sound. It was much faster than a plane, much slower than a shooting star. It was no tail. It was like something I’ve never seen we kept her eyes onto it and continued actually into the direction of the big dipper. And actually disappeared ( continued out of our sight) into the center of the big dipper. That night, we also seen planes and seen a jet even heard the jet, but nothing to do with that light, just wanted it to be known we know the difference we like stargazing..

Ann Arbor (Pittsfield), MI
Walking my dog I looked up and saw a metallic sphere I initially assumed must be a drone, but wondered why it was flying so close to the Ann Arbor airport. As it approached where I stood and flying at perhaps 150-200 feet of altitude, I realized that it had no visible propellers or other means of propulsion and there was no sound. It maintained a steady speed of perhaps 35-40 miles per hour and steady course heading southeast. The entire sighting lasted a minute or less. There were few dogwalkers at the park and no one else seemed to notice.
