Garden City, SC
The five of us were walking on the beach that night when one of my friends just exclaimed “What’s that?” And we all look to face the ocean and a few miles off the coast directly in front of us we all see a large orangish-golden orb. It stays motionless for a moment and then splits horizontally into three smaller orange orbs/balls of light. They stayed motionless once they broke from the original until they just disappeared like someone had turned off a flashlight. The way the object split into three was simply unnatural, and the way the lights moved. About 20 minutes later we saw the same three objects, but oriented differently, in a tripod like shape and faintly, miles away in another direction away from us, before disappeared a second later.

My girlfriend and I witnessed 30 or more star-like/satellite-like objects traveling in a straight line from west to east at about the speed of a typical satellite. They traveled from west to east at 4:45 a.m. No noise or aviation lights.

I was out on the back deck. I was in a pretty good mood and was being a little silly. I have seen so many UFO’s or unusual things that I was kidding around by swinging my head quickly looking in directions so as to catch something. Like trying to catch it in the act. I was laughing with myself playing this game. After about seven times or so I was going to stop when to my left an orb floats in over the yard right next to the deck. It was about the size of a baseball. It was about eight feet off the ground moving about average walking speed. It was not floating in a perfectly straight line. It had a slight fluid like motion to it. It looked natural. The orb was undulating with sudden outbursts of energy. There were globs of It surging and swelling out of it but then retracting into the round shape. The undulations were short. Each one about a half second. It was a very pure white light. Very intense. Not like a flashlight shining in your face though. If you d! idn’t look right into it, you would not be bothered by it. I was looking right at it though. It was about seven feet away from me at the same height as my eyes. The undulations were about every two seconds. It had a personality. I could sense it immediately. It is a living creature. I felt that it had some anxiety or that it was a little tense. I do not know why. I think that I was hearing a slight sound from the orb when it undulated. It was kind of an energetic electric sound. The moment was so incredible that I was overwhelmed. I was looking straight into the orb but had to look away because the light was so intense. As it past right in front of me it let out it’s most intense undulation and I felt that it was looking at me. I had to bow my head to recover from the intensity for a slight moment but when I looked back up, I put my arms out and said loudly “Hey!”. I wanted to communicate with it and didn’t want it to go away. I don’t know exactly what happened at that mome! nt, but I had to look away again. I crouched down into a kneel! ing posi tion then I lifted my head up to look. The orb got spooked and started zigzagging into the sky very quickly. I watched it as it disappeared into the clouds. The whole experience lasted about ten to twelve seconds.

Folkston, GA
While driving to work around 05;18am EST I notice an object roughly at a 60 Degree angle of our truck to the North East of Folkston in the air burning leaving a trail of silver sparkles. I got my workers attention and he too witnessed the object Break up. We could see pieces falling in a curved slowing manor burning as they was falling. This was no meter, was way too slow. The who event lasted maybe 12 seconds by the time we got stop in a good clear area it had faded and all you could see was a smoke trail. We started driving again and as we was heading down Hwy 40 heading East North East we spotted a Orange Sphere traveling at a high Rate of Speed to the Area where the Object had came in at this Orange Sphere Disappeared when it got to the Area. Roughly 3 mins later a Large White Sphere appeared in the same area this sphere was very bright, and there was a smaller orange sphere flying to the side of the big white one. The Big White one gave a! bright flash and appeared to accelerate at a very high speed directly straight up as it got smaller and dimmer in a matter of Seconds little one was not seen again roughly 20 seconds later the Original Orange Sphere appeared again and headed back to the east at a high rate of speed and disappeared behind some clouds.

Glowing orange lights moving from South to North. One would be a bright orange glow then another would follow on same path. Each would start to dim then brighten then eventually dim again, moving upward. Eventually they all formed a semi circle that was caught on camera. They were not drones or Chinese lanterns. They were glowing not shining light. They definitely had a path & had converged together in a formation.

Austin, TX
Hello, I saw something strange last night pictures attached) that may or not be of potential interest to you. Around 9:15 p.m., my wife and I (both PhDs in different fields) were getting back home from our usual evening walk in our South Austin neighborhood. While arriving toward the last bend of the road before the straight stretch of road that reaches our house, we saw looking West what seemed to be two approaching planes. What looked strange to us is that the furthest away “plane “ was catching up with the one closest to us. Then they both suddenly disappeared from our view. A few seconds later, at another spot also looking West, we saw two bright orange lights what seemed to be stationary in the sky. Looking at them for a minute, they did not move at all. I took pictures with my iphone , first of the two “planes” before they disappeared from our view, then of the two stationary orange lights. We then kept walking back home. Maybe this is nothing, but just-in-case, the pictures are being sent via email.

An orb flashed overhead in a bright flash for approx 1.5-2 seconds. It was a clear night and I saw no other aircraft or similar celestial disturbances since that moment.

3 of us were eating lunch on a curb, I saw what I thought was a white ballon very high in sky. I pointed out to the 2 guys with me, after 5 min of debate, a cloud passed n front of the object which wasn’t moving, the white object appeared to turn black or grey in the cloud, then bright white like a star in the day once the cloud passed. At that point 3 women walked out of an adjacent pharmacy. I asked them as they passed us if they could first see the “day star” then If they could identify it,... no one could explain it away. Another construction worker passed, we showed him, he pointed out,with polarized lenses, there appeared to be a purplish ring around object. We had to unfortunately return to work at that point, after taking 2 short videos with my iPhone The weather this day was partly cloudy/mostly sunny. 80 degrees, 38% humidity- Object never moved, only got blurry, and brighter then clear.

This in a summery of an event, of a unexplained flying object encounter on a flight between Anchorage and Hong Kong. I was flying as a relief pilot sitting in the captains seat on a commercial cargo flight when I first spotted the object. I immediately pointed the object out to the first officer who also saw it. The Captain was in the back on his rest period. The location of the event was on an airway, R220, between NOGAL & NIPPI intersection, 21.4NM NE of NOGAL at FL400. The coordinates were N4632.8/W15332.6. The closest land was 67.7NM off our right. This land would be the Kuril Islands SW of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia. The only other know air traffic were two other aircraft that were on our TCAS. They were on our route same direction of travel within 60NM ahead of us. It was daylight as the time was 1346 local (0346 Zulu). There was a low undercast layer of clouds, some towering clouds 100+ miles in the distance, but clear at our altitude. Our ground speed was 408 knots, true airspeed 476 knots, MACH # .830, wind 252/73 and total air temperature -20 something. Our magnetic heading was 238° While I was sitting looking at the first officer in conversation, I noticed a bubble like object off the right side of the aircraft. I immediately pointed it out to the first officer. He quickly grabbed his phone and tried to take several pictures of it. Unfortunately due to bugs or dirt on the side windows, the camera focused in on the window instead of the unexplained object. The object looked like a clear sphere or bubble. It appears to be rigged like glass or plastic, however I can’t rule out a balloon. The size is relative to the distance it was from our aircraft. This is where the first officer and I have a difference in opinion. In the window, it was the size of pencil eraser. I felt that the object was within a couple of hundred yards and was maybe the size of a car. The first officer felt that it might have been more like a couple of miles away and therefore much larger. The strangest thing about this object was that we didn’t speed past it. We did overtake this object but slowly. We were moving over the ground at 408 knots into a nearly 70 knot headwind. If the object was a balloon, I feel we would’ve blown past it very fast. So what ever this object was, it seems it was propelled by something. There was no visible engines, exhaust or any thing else that resemble a know aircraft capable of traveling at such speed. Needless to say, this consumer or conversation for the next several hours. When the captain returned to the flight deck, we explained our siting and continued to discuss what it could have possibly been. The Captain was a previous F-18 pilot and both the first officer and I were civilian pilots.

My kids and I were at city park swimming and my son ask how high could birds fly. Due to all the Vultures that were flying over head. I told him pretty high, as my son had seen one really high something had caught my eye. Just beyond where the bird was flying, was a stationary object that look like a sphere near the edge of the clouds. It was to the NE of where we were swimming around 30 thousand ft. I pointed it out to my kids and other kids that were with us, which everyone at this time saw it. It would get bright for a second then dim out to where you couldn’t see it then appear again. We had watched for about 10 mins until it disappeared into some dense clouds and we couldn’t see it anymore. We had stayed another 20 mins hoping we would see it again, but nothing appeared.

West Los Angeles (Brentwood), CA
Hello, I want to share an experience on an object that I observed hovering on June 7, 2020, in Brentwood CA. (West Los Angeles). I also reported the incident to MUFON (Case # 109330) hoping they reach out to me but they still haven’t. On June 7, 2020 (Sunday) from 11:20 AM - 11:25 A.M., I was working a security detail in Brentwood which is considered West Los Angeles near Santa Monica beach. This particular day was beautiful, there were no clouds, it was warm/bright (74°), and it was windy with a wind gust of 8.1 mph (per the weather map). My attention was drawn to what I thought at the time was a chrome helium balloon. I didn't think much of it because it's normal to see neighborhood children or people at the beach releasing balloons, but this one captured my attention. While staring at the object for several seconds, I kept asking myself why wasn't the balloon flying away in the direction of the wind and why was the object hovering over residential homes for several seconds. Then for a quick second, I thought maybe someone decided to tie this balloon to a very long string and let it loose, well I was wrong. As I kept looking at the object, my analytical mind went on overload and that's when I realized, I wasn't looking at a balloon, a plane, a helicopter, a blimp, or even a drone. The object I was looking at was white or chrome and it was in the shape of a round sphere. The object kept hovering up & down in a very fast manner. At times the object will move from side-to-side and on a few occasions, the object will hover downward and disappear showing a circular flashing light then it will reappear in a different location. During the movements, the object appeared to be slowly rotating while it produced a glowing brilliant light. While the object continued moving, I saw it morphed into two round spheres. Both objects were connected and glowing. It almost looked like a dome but I wasn't sure. The objects were producing what I call a strobing light as it appeared in and out of the camera frame. As the object hovered, it turned into what I call a "donut" shape. It had a black circle in the middle of the strobing object while it hovered towards Santa Monica beach. I lost the object for several seconds allowing me the opportunity to retrieve a pair of binoculars from my car. It took me seconds to find the object, but when I did, it was a spectacular sight the object was rotating counter-clockwise as it produces a brilliant chrome light, that's when I saw the second sphere (or dome) that was connected. I eventually lost the object as it traveled west towards the beach. To remove any doubts, this object was not a plane, helicopter, blimp, or a drone. These mentioned items make some type of noise, the sphere never made any noise and hovered in the direction towards the wind. I’m a retired Law Enforcement officer with over 20 yrs. of patrol and investigation experience. As a lawman, you are trained to see, hear, and find rational explanations of what’s occurring. You also develop a “7 sense” that many people will never have. In my career, I have seen my share of strange, unusual, and unexplained things but this time it's beyond my explanation. For reference, I recorded the object on my Samsung Note 8 cellular phone. I recorded the object three times and I took several still images. On some of the images, I added a dark background showing unusual things within the flashing pictures. Thank you,

Buckner, KY
6/6/2020 11:15pm EDT Buckner, KY 40010 I am an amateur astronomer and computer engineer as a career. I’m accustomed to understanding the world around me and what I see. Saturday night, my wife and I both saw something I can not explain. It was an orange orb moving across the sky. I’m guessing it was between 5-10,000 feet in altitude and roughly the size of a 747 at that height moving at about the same speed as a commercial airliner at that altitude. The most common explanation online is a Chinese lantern, it was not one. I held an ATF license for commercial fireworks for 3 years and have set off many Chinese lanterns. It moved in a straight line with no changes in speed or direction. We watched it for a solid 60 seconds from directly overhead to disappearing over the horizon moving north to south. Comparing it to a full moon, it appeared to be ¼ to ½ of the size. It was very large compared to anything else I’ve ever seen. It also made no noise. No sound of an engine, no hum, nothing. I am attaching a very poor video where I captured the last 15 seconds of the object as it disappeared over the horizon.

Saw an illuminated orb-shaped object while traveling North on 202 (was a passenger in a car, driver did not witness). Object was traveling relatively slowly (similar speed to a bi-plane) towards the South in a consistent linear path. Orb-shaped object appeared to be metallic and was highly reflective. The object was not remotely shaped like a conventional commercial aircraft, nor did it have any sort of hazard lights. Witnessed object traveling for about 5-10 seconds, turned away, then upon turning back the object was nowhere in sight. Tried to monitor that section in sky for a few minutes after initially seeing the object but couldn’t identify it a second time.

I went to relieve one of the drivers at my job. He asked me if I had seen the UFO and pointed to a single silver looking sphere in the sky . It looked like a weather balloon to me. Only thing is the “balloon” did not move for at least 2 hours . I observed it until the sun dipped over the horizon at which point it faded into the night sky.

At approximately 10:00 on on June 3rd,2020... I walked out onto the deck of my 2nd story apartment looking south... I noticed a solid orange/yellow sphere hovering approximately 1,200-1,500 hundred feet and at a 30-35 degrees off the horizon... with the moon shining brightly, it was easy to see the objects west to south easterly movement...it made no sound that I could tell...no flashing lights...solid orange yellow sphere that was not stationary... I tried to record with my cellphone front facing camera but the video doesn't do the eye to object any justice

Out of the west clear sky a circular object high in the sky with a strong solid bright white light traveling extremely slow was heading eastward. Got my binoculars and saw only a powerful orb of solid white light. As an airplane on the northside approached and with me still viewing the object with binoculars this orb went completely dark and dissapeared.

Almost every night for the past 15 days we have strange bright lights shining on our house. (We back to BLM) At the same time we can see lots of orbs flying in and outside our house. We checked the cameras outside and noticed up on the mountain some type of vehicle was shining a bright beam of light over towards our home. We have on film one strange orb/craft flying in front of our house above our deck. We also have what I would describe as a large very bright “bug” flying around the deck which changes shape.(We have a photo of this). We have also noticed that these are not seen with the naked eye, these have only been spotted on our cameras that recorded motion.

They were bright white orbs, very high in the sky, moving back and forth. I'd estimate 7 or 8, and the date I saw this was approximate. I'm just perplexed why I knew to look straight up to see this. It kinda freaked me out.

Columbia, KY
The objects I have seen are orange in color and circular. About 5 times the size of a normal star. Much lower than the stars in the sky though. They seem to be like a glowing orange orb and they dart around but stay in the same area. This makes the 3rd time I have seen these objects. All from the same location and spread out by a few months over time but all look the same. First time it was one object to the south and high up but over trees, it stayed stationary and then just kinda of burned out, so I wrote it off as maybe a lantern. Second time there was two together, to my East and they we’re definitely high enough to not be a lantern but still way lower than the stars. Same glowing orange circle as before, one of them seemed to dart around some but not moving far away from the other. One faded out and then about 10 seconds later the second did the same. The third was 3 together, same objects but this time to my north and in a wide open view. There were no! other planes in the sky to really gauge this. Quickly after I spotted them one seemed to move around some and then burned out. Then the second one about 20 seconds later, and then finally after about a minute the 3rd did the same, but this time where the second one was it lit back up and then quickly faded out again. The third did the same. I mentioned there were no planes in the sky close by but just after they all faded out an aircraft with normal red and blinking light like most planes travelled straight toward where they were at This plane was traveling much faster than any that I’ve ever seen flying through the night sky.

Amelia (suburb of Cincinnati), OH
UFO – Cincinnati ,Ohio Bright red very large orb heading from the west to the east travelling at a high rate of speed came to a dead stop. The orb then turned color from a bright red to a very bright white. It then released a small green orb out of the bottom. The green orb started a slow eastern trajectory then gained speed out of sight. The very bright white ‘mother’ orb still stationary turned back to bright red and traced its original path back west. A few minuets later the bright red orb came back and stopped again and again it turned bright white and another bright green small orb was released from the bottom. The green orb took the same path to the east as the first one and in the same manner. The ‘mother’ again turned back to bright red and took a western trajectory at a high rate of speed and continued out of sight. I stayed outside for about 15 minuets watching the sky but it did not return.
