North Richland Hills, TX
I woke up around 3:50am to get something to drink as I checked out our patio windows due to recent breakins of cars in our apartment complex. I checked the sky and saw blinking lights of red, thought it was a plane at first but it was hovering, looked closer and it was flashing colors of green, red & white, almost like a pulsating flash. I had tried to capture with my phone but it just looks like a blob with how far it is. I continued to watch and noticed it was a triangular shape, very sharp & precise and was rotating, not even 15 minutes later another one popped up, directly to the right of it, maybe a few miles from where I looked but hundreds of miles from how far it was. This one was flashing more rapidly but couldn’t make out the shape. At one point the one on the left (the first one I saw) dissipated and reappeared seconds later. There were NO clouds in sight and I compared the sighting to stars around and I confirmed it wasn’t a star either. When I would capture on video there was a black haze around the lights but that was in a circle shape. I was on FaceTime with my aunt and my phone cut out as soon as I walked outside to get a better view. As soon as I started talking about what I was seeing we lost connection. My dog was whining the whole time I was in the living room and normally she’s very quiet.

Grand Rapids, MI
Saw a single object moving at what seemed normal high elevation plane speed, but it had no normal plane sound, contrail, and seemed lower than normal planes. After about a minute, another one appeared flying closer than I've ever seen a plane fly to another plane. It didn't come up to it, rather it just seemed to materialize right next to it. The new one matched speed exactly, both going Easterly direction. They appeared white and oval, but they were far off so cannot confirm their shape. They did match though. It was a bright sunny day.

I was star gazing and as I went to turn around to go back inside, I noticed a very bright object stationary above the tree line over my left shoulder. It looked like a bright white light/orb. It was brighter than any star in the sky. It then rapidly began to descend diagonally, and flashed with a green light once turned and faced towards it, fully noticing it. It shifted direction and broke eye sight below the treeline and nearby buildings for a few seconds before I spotted it again, very quickly moving suddenly horizontally and then it was gone from my eye sight. After about 15-20 minutes, an airplane showed up. No clue if military or not.

Abilene, TX
Since July 16th I have been seeing lights appear in the sky always around 2am and lasting till 3am. They move at incredible speeds. 11 of the 14 days it's been 1 light but a few of those days it's been 2 lights. It's not satellite, shooting star, plane, or drone, military planes or anything logical. These things move super fast and they don't stay lit up that long. They do maneuvers that don't make sense sometimes. Please have someone contact me, these are out there every night. I want someone to come see them and verify what I am seeing. This is in Abilene Texas.

Driving on expressway home from work saw 3 extremely bright white/tint of yellow or golden lights about 100/200 feet above. After the 3 lights it moved to the side where I noticed at least 5 to 6 lights & there was a narrow sphere almost like opening mouth or opening of craft with red lights, Definitely not airplane. They were going fairly slow were initially on my left side then went over me to the right. It all occurred within Maybe three mins

Davis, CA
At approximately 12:15 AM, I was standing on the roof of the Social Sciences and Humanities building on Davis campus and looking out in a north/northeastern direction. I noticed some bright lights in the sky, which struck me as being a few miles out; they were more luminous than any plane, star, or planet. At first I assumed they were planes coming directly at me, but I quickly realized that they were moving parallel to me rather than perpendicular. I took out my phone and began filming at 12:20. The two objects, moving in opposite directions, completed two long ellipse like maneuvers where one would pass over the other when they met in the middle. I also noticed at one point that the object to the right (east) appeared to stand still for about 20 seconds (at the point in the video where I point this out it appears to have just started moving again), although it is possible that it was just moving very slowly. About 9 minutes into filming, both objects dipped below the tree line in front of me (as I said they seemed some miles out, so I didn’t think they were as low as the trees, it just appeared so) and disappeared from sight. At 12:42 I saw one briefly reemerge above the trees. At 12:49 both reappeared and I began filming again. I still thought they might be planes executing some kind of long bank maneuver, because at one point the object on the left (west) appeared to glow the brightest at approximately the time that it changed direction and began moving the other way. They performed one more ellipse, and at this point I noticed that the light on top was red and the one on the bottom was blue or white. Shortly after this final maneuver, first the blue and then the red light disappeared below the tree line one more time, not to reappear for me. I noticed another bright light, but it was directly over Sacramento and heading my way, so I assumed it was a plane. I’m a history major at UC Davis, but I’ve always loved the cosmos—my favorite Christmas present ever was a telescope. I’ve become interested in UAPs specifically over the course of the last few years. I'll post a screenshot of exactly where I was in the images section.

Lights irradically appearing&varying intensity from not there@all-BIGGER&BRIGHTER than even CLOSE jumbo jets,Saw them go from 2 BRIIGHTTT WHITE LIGHTS, (BIGGER AND BRIGHTER THAN ANY/ALL-STARS/THINGS in the sky, about 2 fingers extended at arms length apart and slightly uneven most of the time. But have seen up to 4 lights total, ALL ALWAYS appearing RIGHT AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE RIDGELINE of Gifford Pincho forest LOOKING DIRECTLY EAST OF HIGHWAY 500. Its LITERALLY GOING ON RIGHT NOW! Last night they started around 11pm, and stayed clearly visible til 1am, then it would be active for about 20min intervals. It is NOT* A FLEETING RARE GLIMPSE OF AN EVENT! I'm 100% sure if u just sat outside for a half hour, THIS WILL BLATANTLY DEMAND UR ATTENTION!! I've had to get both my folks up around midnight, who NEITHER BELIEVE or even CARE about these kinds of things.. UNTIL they walked outside! And they couldn't even register what they were CLEARLY SEEING. Then the following morning/afternoon I felt like I HAD to tell my neighbors, if nothing else, ATLEAST to explain why they kept seeing me standing on top of my car with BINOCULARS the past few nights til the wee hours of the morning, staring in directions of nothing but dense forest farther than you can see. I live just this side of the last main street at the edge of the Suburbs-Rural farmland. Just across the street is nothing but un/under developed farm land. There are multiple stores, gas stations, restaurants ect. up&down the (N-S) street, 162nd. But NOTHING on the east side of it. So theres as little of light pollution as possible. I'm also just a few miles away from the PDX, where I've lived by the last 30yrs. So I've submitted all the flight paths and what all the aircrafts look like to memory. I'm 35ish, disabled night owl with no kids, no wife/gf, noone to distract me or requiring my attention except a doggo. I'm also a STRONG BELIEVER and ACTIVE SEEKER* of proof.. Point is, theres NOONE ELSE* more tailored to be more consistent, persistent, AVAILABLE and Active and therefore likely to see anomalies in the sky than me! I swear on EVERYTHING every word I've written here are 1000% TRUTHFUL ACCURATE AND HONEST! I read probably 75 sighting reports, n I'd say maybe half of them kinda seemed like bogus. Either because they sounded absolutely outlandish and didn't exude believability/honesty. Or because they say something INCREDIBLE! But have no details or specific details. Thats why I've LITERALLY BEEN WRITING THIS for an HOUR AND A HALF because thou III may know I'm telling the truth, I feel kinda obligated to portray the sincerity so hopefully people will go out and WITNESS this stuff for themselves so we can start to uncover the explanation of these things. I DO have my own personal hypothesis about what may be going on, but after scrolling up and seeing that this is ALREADYY the LONGEST, ABUNDANTLY DETAILED report this site has ever had, I'll spare you the rest of the novel.. THIS REPORT IS SOO LONG because its ABSOLUTELY TRUE! And I KNOW that if you live anywhere from probably Oregon City, OR-ish, to about probably Olympia, WA. Virtually any where in the valley of the i-5/i-205 corridor where you can see the tallest Gifford Pincho Forest Ridgeline. And I haven't traveled to Idaho, but theres nothing to impede you line of sight as far as I know from the i-5 corridor, and even all the way to the coast, to across the forest, (from coastline to about the Washington/Idaho border.) So theres *ALOTTT OF PEOPLE* that could potentially witness this if they just WALKED OUTSIDE and WEREN'T staring EXCLUSIVELY DOWN at their phone! What I can say FORRR SUREEE!! Is that this has been SOO-THE BIGGEST AFFIRMATION and REASSURING LIFE EVENT that its ABUNDANTLY RENEWED and CONFIRMED my drive/desire to get up when I may no necessarily WAAANT TO go outside and stare outside for hours. But this is so FANTASTICALLY UNEXPLAINABLE and IRRADICALLY INCONSISTENT and ANOMALOUS, It just COULDN'T be a man made device/formation ect. No matter how FAR AND LOOSE I streeetch my imagination, theres STILL-ZERO PLAUSIBLE logical explanations! So if you're ANYWHERE over here in the i_5 corridor area from Canada to California, look east towards paralleling highway 500 and give it just 15-30min(if its not ALREADY active) and I'll bet you'll be in for a MAAAJORRR STUMPER! I started writing this report at midnight, and its now 3am exactly, and of the 5x's I checked, every half hour, 3 of them it was ACTIVELY going on when I walked outside. I didn't have to wait. So PLEASE SOMEONE AT THE VERY LEAST TAKE A PEAK OUT THERE WHEN 7 CAN between 11pm-3am and PLEASE give me your opinion on WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON! Happened the nights of 8-2, 8-4, and 8-5-23. Saw something similar, but only lasted 10 or 15sec on 5-20-2023 at exactly 11:45pm, and PROBABLY a bunch times since then but I've been having intermittent medical issues that've kept my majorly bedridden the last 2-3mo. So itss VERYYY LIKELY been occurring the past cple mo. based on the consistency of the last week of which I first saw it. I can't explain whats going on exactly, but what I CAN SAY as previously mentioned, its SO AMAZINGLY UNEXPLAINABLE that tho I have no explanation for it, I KNOW I'D OF BEEN INCREDIBLY REMISSED if I hadn't witnessed it at all. And BTW I'm SURE anyone reading this is screaming at me thru the screen, "IF IT WAS SOO CLEARLY OBVIOUS AND LASTED FOR HOURS, WHERE ARE THE PICS!?!" But I only currently own an older-free govt. Cell phone which I haven't used for 2yrs., "Since cellphones are obviously *NOT* GOOD for CANCER, Of which I have stage 4 hogdkins lymphoma for 1, and for 2, Like i said its a CRAPPY, Probably 8yr. Old model anyway and the camera is virtually USELESS. Besides that I have a shotty tablet with an EQUALLY as useless camera. So I TRIED! But I need to go get some type of camera ASAP while this CRAZY PHENOMENON is actively present. But I've written SO MUCH ALREADY, I HIGHLY DOUBT ANYONE is still reading. But ALL THE INFO & EVERY DETAIL I KNOW are ALL RIGHT THERE for you to go and see this for yourself! PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHATS GOING ON HERE!! You can contact me directly at my secondary email, (since my primary one has my full name I'm using my OLD ONE here for this), at "Luckymistake69@yahoo.com" BE SAFE, LOOM UP, AND SORRY FOR THE NOVEL! But it DOES SAY to include AS MANY DETAILS I can! "Huge apology to the person/analyst/case worker responsible for reviewing my report.. HOPE YOU LIKE TO READ!"

When viewing a mostly clear sky and bright moon, a fireball craft darted from left to right above the tree line but far below the clouds. This phenomenon was to the right of the moon. The fireball was orange. Moments after the sighting a man in his underwear was disoriented and approached the observers from behind. The man said he was a navy seal.

Two orbs of light followed me and my Fiancé on our drive home, at the first opportunity I had to get a clear visual recording of them I turned on my camera. I'll stick to just the details that can be seen on video. The two orbs hung stationary in the air, and to the naked eye didn't appear to be changing in size or changing colors, but on my phone screen as I was recording, I noticed that they appeared to be "popping" in and out, they resembled a flat circle that was getting larger and smaller with no rhythm to the change in size. There did initially appear to be synchronicity between the two objects but upon placing the raw video into a postFX software known as Sony Vegas, I overlaid a chroma key to isolate the two objects from the sky around them and went through the video frame by frame, upon further inspection I realized that not only were they getting larger and smaller, they were in fact merging for milliseconds at a time, changing colors through the entire "visible" spectrum, and changing shape. At one point they both appear to split into three objects each, with each having its own unique shape and color. The lighting appears to be synchronized throughout most of the frames, and the shapes they took all appeared to be geometric in nature. We both felt a sort of empathetic connection to these objects, we felt fascination and curiosity, and the overwhelming knowledge that they were presenting themselves to us specifically. These objects followed us to Eisenhower highway before disappearing, but as we drove further I realized they were actually overlaying the trees and houses as we drove past them, by this I mean that I could see the two objects overlaid on top of material that should have hidden them from view.

Observed a bright light to the south/ southeast of my location, traveling towards the north. Object appeared to then turn directly east. Captured video. I first assumed it was a satellite until it turned and was quickly at a great distance from my location.

Le témoin principal de cette observation (T1), observe au travers de la fenêtre de sa salle de bain, un PAN de couleur orange, de forme trapézoïdale, se déplaçant horizontalement. Intrigué, il sort et prévient sa compagne (T2). Ensemble, ils repèrent un second PAN de forme similaire, situé à une altitude supérieure dans le ciel. T1 capture ensuite une brève vidéo du PAN, d'une durée d'une seconde, avant de constater, avec T2, que les deux PAN s'éloignent vers le sud-est en prenant de l'altitude. Le témoin précise que les PAN, vus de plus loin, avaient une forme sphérique et faisaient de petits mouvements circulaires. Aucun bruit n’a par ailleurs été perçu par le témoin. Selon les critères du GEIPAN, la consistance* du cas est bonne, avec deux témoins de l’observation, dont un qui adresse un questionnaire technique complété d'un croquis et d’une vidéo exploitable. *La consistance est la quantité d’informations considérées comme fiables et objectivées, recueillies pour un témoignage. Une seule hypothèse est explorée, celle de l’observation de lanternes célestes (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). La description du phénomène (PAN) fournie par le témoin, incluant une couleur orange, une forme trapézoïdale puis ronde, une comparaison avec une flamme et l'absence de bruit, reste caractéristique. Le témoin ne ressent aucune étrangeté particulière, puisqu'il compare à plusieurs reprises le PAN à une lanterne dans son témoignage. La trajectoire apparente du PAN, se déplaçant vers le sud-est, est cohérente avec le sens du vent, orienté à l’ouest-nord-ouest. Sa faible intensité est par ailleurs un élément en faveur de l’hypothèse, les lâchers de lanternes ne pouvant s’effectuer que par temps calme. La description du témoin concernant le premier PAN est par ailleurs très précise, avec la mention d’une forme particulière, « trapézoïdale », de « pieds » pouvant s’apparenter aux suspentes de la lanterne mais également de « petits mouvements circulaires » ; tous ces éléments indiquant qu’elle devait se trouver initialement à une faible distance des témoins, à l’est, avant de s’éloigner vers le sud-est. Les communes de Pralong (42) et Champdieu (42) n’ont pas eu connaissance d’un lâcher de lanternes célestes le soir de l’observation, cependant la bonne description des PAN et les conditions aérologiques accrédites cette hypothèse. Le cas est classé "A", observation de lanternes célestes. [GEIPAN classification A — Lanterne thai]

Grandson and I were looking at the stars in between races at the dragstrip. He noticed a bright white perfectly round one moving from the northwest. I looked on Flight Aware and Planes live but it wasn’t on there. We were at a dragstrip and it was too noisy to hear if it had any sound. Appeared to be over 5000 feet traveling southeast at maybe 250-300 mph and we watched it travel across the sky. It was very bright and 30 seconds before it faded away it became brighter, dimmed to normal before it faded out. I thought it might be some type of military aircraft but I took a couple of pictures anyway. The pics were taken with my iPhone 13 and they raised my curiosity. Maybe it’s just the way the camera works taking pics of light when it’s dark out but it seems odd to me. A few minutes later i saw an airplane fly close to the same path but appeared to be at a higher altitude but it didn’t appear on either flight app i have on my phone. The apps did show aircraft but not real close to where we were. My grandson is 6 and I’m a 57 year old area sales manager.

-Small points of light started appearing at dusk. They would start, stop, make sharp 180° turns and accelerate at a mind bending speed (travelled across the entire night sky in about 2 seconds) - Also saw a bright white/orange light fly toward downtown and disappear (didn't appear to be a meteor as it had no trail) - last I saw before heading to bed was a bright light that slowly appeared and then faded away shortly after.

I went out to my front yard to water plants at about 9pm. Something caught my eye and I looked up. What I observed was light. It was pulsing on and off, nearly directly overhead, and moving to the SW. It was not a single light but more like a cluster of many different lights and colors. The brightness varies as it pulsed on. Pulsing off it disappears completely. And when it pulsed on there was a very distinct triangle. All 3 edges were very clear as if it must be a solid object. However nothing of the object itself is observed except for the edge. The on and off occurs many times as the lights keep moving at a leisurely pace. The triangle appears several times, but at least one time the triangle was replaced by a rectangle with again only the edges visible. So it seemed the hidden object was capable of changing shape. Just as I thought it was about to move beyond my field of view the lights made a hard left turn moving back to where I had a clear look. There are many large trees where I live so I can only clearly see a limited part of the sky. The lights made a single loop to my east and.then returned to the orginal heading. And was gone from view. I could cover the triangle completely by holding my thumb above my head at arms length. So unless it's a tiny object it's probably pretty high up. No noise at all. And the movement was odd. Hard to describe but it seemed almost that it was sliding not flying. And then to my amazement it returned again. I had originally observed the lights from my front yard. For the 2nd sighting I was on my back deck. As I'm looking basically south it emerges from behind trees to my right. I've grabbed some binoculars and I'm trying to get a better look at it, when it's just gone. But in an instant I realized it's now all the way off to my left. To achieve that new position in a fraction of a second it has to have been nearly instantaneous travel. Trees to my left made viewing difficult. But I don't think it was at that spot for more than a few seconds. The trees made it hard to see exactly when and in what direction it went. Throughout the event the lights kept pulsing, and the intensity varied. And every time it pulsed off it was completely invisible. So at each off pulse I'm wondering where it will reappear having kept moving while invisible.

Coordinates of observation position is 21.26614° N, 157.81542° W A white, star-like object moved across the bright night sky in a NNW direction about 45 degrees. Altitude was at least 30K feet. It moved like a jet until it disappeared right before my eyes. The Northern sky was bright and clear. The Big Dipper was in the field of view and situated to the left of the moving object. The duration of this sighting was 5-10 seconds.

5:40 I saw a flashing green light in distance in night sky. I asked my wife if it was same as what she’d described two nights earlier. She said yes but there were more of them. She had passed them off as Starlink. Upon further inspection there were in fact 4 I could see. One due N, one due W, and two NW. S and E views are blocked. One of the NW pair is moving gently left and right. All 4 are pulsing on and off. The NW pair was actually seen moving into their current position, but have maintained now for over 3 hours. Video is real-time but movement more noticeable if sped up slightly.

Walking my dog, an Panther Trace Park I looked up as I noticed a small black object in the clouds far away. Initially I began videoing, and when I came home, zoomed into the video not only did I see multiple, but I got a beautiful linear one second video of an object flying right underneath from the left side the screen all the way to the right side of the screen. I have the one second video as well as the nine screenshots I took, and you can see beautiful formation of it flying across. (Uploaded 1second video and was only able to upload an additional (3) or the (9) second clips of the image- see for yourself ! :)
