Bridgton, ME
I was outside at midnight on April 20th 2021 when I saw what I think was multiple UFOS. I was out in the backyard in Bridgton, Maine, when I looked up next to a big star right above the tree lines, right next to the star was a bright light that floated up and disappeared. Then another light came right after and did the same thing and then it started repeating this cycle of lights going straight up then disappearing. I was with a group of people of more than 10 persons. They all saw this as well. This lasted for awhile,I’d even say for more than 10 minutes. The UFOS were silent,you could not hear anything.

Clarion, PA
I was outside and looked up. Seen three total of the same kinda of light. Almost like a Christmas tree light twinkling. One was hovering very close like helicopter. And another was along a tree line. And the other was wide open over yonder. The one wide open stayed the longest. They all seem to be hovering and twinkling with light. And I got my gun spotting scope and could tell they were gaining altitude and the other two seemed to disappear in a blink of an eye. Thru the spotting scope. They looked like trianglar in shape. But was twinkling at a frequency most stars wouldn't.

Lafayette, CO
I noticed a lone brightly blinking star of an unusual/changing shape in the night sky, and got my binoculars. The "star" was pulsing sharp bright flashes of red, blue, and green, and multiple colors could be seen at the same time. My roommate witnessed a portion of this phenomenon also. After about 30 minutes it began flashing mostly red. I had put my phone down and turned my back for about 10 seconds to get the phone to take one more video, and when I looked again it was gone.

Spanish Valley, UT
My husband and I were driving to Moab, UT, coming from Houston, TX. The stars were so bright that we pulled over to stretch our legs and look up at the sky. We were traveling north on 191 and pulled off to the right in Spanish Valley (coordinates from our video are 38.4527000, -109.4381000) and almost immediately noticed a bright blue and white flickering light across the highway, just barely over the horizon (there was a hill it appeared to be hovering above, about 200 ft up). At first we thought it could be aircraft marker lights, navigation lights, or even windmill lights, but then it moved! It appeared to be a pillar shape, or maybe two lights one in to of the other. The way it flickered at first, my husband thought it could be police car lights in the far distance and I thought maybe a drone, but then it shifted so quickly to the right - we've never seen anything move that fast, almost instantaneous. My husband got out his phone to film at that point, a! nd we did capture it (albeit very faint). Within a minute of filming, it either disappeared behind the horizon or just stopped blinking.

Nanaimo (Canada), BC · Canada
About an hour after sunset, I observed a distant high altitude “satellite” due east of my position -moving south. It looked as bright as a distant planet. Suddenly it accelerated, making a downward swoop then quickly regained original altitude, continuing south. The object maintained a steady path for about 8 seconds. It paused briefly coming to a complete stop, then began a 45 degree descent. I assume it was no longer reflecting the sun as it grew dimmer, and disappeared. I have maritime experience as well as an aviation background. Definitely not a drone or typical aircraft. Thanks for your work.

All the time see this u.f.o outside of my house, it has been outside of my house for about 2-3 years now. I see all throughout the year at many times throughout the night, and it just flickers and sits there. Now what got my attention of this u.f.o is the flickering, but after dismissing it a few times I started to see different colors in these flickers, and so I was like let me look at this closer, upon looking closer at it, it mesmerizes you with the perfect circle of flashy red, and blue, and greens, it's like how is it flashing like this and noone can see it or it goes un-noticed. Anyhow finally wanted to report this thing. It sits in the southwest to south east skies, and it flickers like a star, but if you look close it's full of colorful flashes!!

West Linn, OR
Cloudless night, i stepped out the front door to stargaze. saw what i initially thought was an approaching commercial jet, but after several minutes i realized it was not perceptibly moving. at a glance it had about the size and brightness of venus or some other prominent star, but it was flashing and alternating colors, orange and blue. called my daughter a few blocks away and she corroborated. it was probably by a small margin the brightest thing in the sky. it seemed to be stationary for at least 30 minutes and then moved gradually away (got dimmer/smaller, less flashy) and somewhat to the west and eventually out of view.

Streetsboro, OH
Driving from Hudson to Streetsboro along E Streetsboro St, I saw a formation of lights in the sky. They were clustered in a nonspecific formation. The lights were so bright they produced a glare. They pulsed, then faded away and disappeared. After this, I turned to my mom and asked if she saw lights too, and she said she did. We checked to see if we saw the same thing, then decided we must have and began to look for them again to see if they had moved or would reappear. We thought we had lost them as we drove East in the direction of the sighting, but a few minutes later we saw them again. This time they did not disappear but we were unable to sustain a line of sight with them due to the surroundings. They had moved a considerable amount of space and were much closer to the horizon and more Southeast now. We continued to look but were unable to find a line of sight again and did not see them again. We could not pursue our search any farther because we had to! go to school/work.

Battle Creek, MI
I can’t remember the exact month this happened but it was last year, 2021. I was on my way to work and it was dark, so the pole lights were on along the side of the road. I was driving along and happened to glance up into the sky and saw a bright circle of light stationary but right above the road and my first thought was , “that’s a pole light, and I must be tired, now I’m seeing things”. But there wasn’t a pole, and as I started to pass under it, it moved to the right not super fast, but fast enough that I saw it move at the top edge of my windshield and disappear over the tree line on my right. I looked in the mirrors and behind me and there was no sign of it. I’m not sure if it was a drone or what but I never did see it again in that spot. To this day , when I come through that same area I’m always looking up to that area and I never see anything.

Valdosta, GA
On April 13th 2021 at around 10:30 PM I was out on my back porch sky gazing when I saw a small round light moving from the southwest toward the northeast much faster than an airliner say at 33,000 feet. Based on an airliner speed of 400-450 knots at altitude moving across the night sky, I would estimate this object was moving close to 1200 knots. I’ve seen what a satellite looks like moving across the sky, but this object was nearly 4 times the size of what a very small satellite looks like in the sky. They are very difficult to see. This was very easy to see. I don’t believe it was a satellite. There was no sound associated with it, no anti-collision lights, nor a contrail and it flew in a straight line northeasterly and dimmed out of view.

One, maybe two UFOs, flashing their lights and moving around in the sky for 10 mins.

Palatine, IL
Three sporadically moving zig zagging lit objects just below the overcast dark clouds. Witnessed them mid morning for about 5 minutes in the Westerly skies. After approximately 5 minutes the three flying objects went straight up through the clouds and disappeared. I have no idea what this could have been.

Cayucos, CA
I was sitting at the pier on the beach having a bonfire. There was a group of 6 of us, the 2 of us that were sitting at the fire both saw the same thing at the same moment. The light of the fire drowned out any other stars and the clarity of the night sky. All of the sudden it looked like a shooting star but there was 4 perfectly aligned lights spaced all evenly, and they were bright, but perfect bright sphere lights unlike anything I have ever seen. These lights were significantly brighter than any star in the sky that night by a huge margin. The line of lights was above the horizon line of the Pacific Ocean and shot across a small portion of the sky and disappeared in mid air within a matter of a split second. We both looked at each other in disbelief of what we had just witnessed.

Dingman Township, PA
I was taking a bag of trash down to our garage. As is my habit, I paused in my driveway to look up at the sky. I like looking at the stars. The object caught my attention at once because I had never seen a bright star in that part of the sky (south west), and never any star as bright. It did not appear to be a solid light. The best description I can give is was it seemed to twinkle or glisten. I could see no real shape, just light. Moreover, as I stood staring at it, I saw it move. It would drop down a short distance, then move back up to about it's original position. Then down again, only then at about a 45 degree angle. then up again at slimmer angle. Then it moved in a straight line a short space to it's left. It repeated this pattern again and again. After watching this for about five minutes I ran into the house to wake my wife and had her come to see what I was seeing. The two of us watched this thing for about 15 minutes, and it terrified her. We have lived on this property 33 years. We often sit our on the deck nights looking up at the sky. We have seen passenger jets fly over, small aircraft and even medivac helicopters. Never anything like this. What spooked her most was it made no sound. My wife said she no longer felt safe standing out in the driveway and headed into the house, insisting I go in with her. I have no idea how much longer the object reminded in sight. I only regret it never occurred to me to grab our handycam and recorded the object. I am not a drinker and the only drugs I take are to treat my Rheumatoid Arthritis. This is what I saw and am reporting it thinking it might be important.

We were sitting outside in our backyard talking when the UFO appeared out of nowhere in the sky. It was ascending upwards. The UFO itself appeared as broken lights in a line it was about 2 miles long and as it ascended higher it disappeared. I caught it on video.

Intensely bright white light steadily hovering in place–no other lights. Checked against tree to be sure not moving, it was not. Watched for 5+ & went inside house. Not a plane, planes move & have other lights/this did not.

As we were driving we looked up in the sky and saw the object in the sky. It was just hovering in one spot it looked like a bright light, it wasn’t moving or flashing like an airplane and it was too close to be a planet. Within two minutes it had disappeared. I have videos of the object.

A fleet of lights that flew across sky. You could see them speed up to another and was unlike anything I have ever seen. At top of the line, there were a few others on each side creating a T like formation. Solid white lights

Surprise, AZ
I wake very early every morning(2:30 am)I look into western sky and see what looks like a star. It moves sometimes erratically left and right or in a particle circle.I have been watching this for weeks.I must say that it's movements remind me of a new driver. It's movements have become more erratic over the weeks.It is moving further now when it moves. Some times it moves extremely quick for a moment.I am not sure why I am reporting this but I find it strange and amusing.

Grovetown, GA
I was in the backyard with my wife and son just gazing at the stars and the clear night sky before going to bed. We saw 2 lights that were unlike anything we’d ever seen before. These two lights seem to be very high in the sky, and for a moment we thought it was a satellite…until it changed direction and the light it was emitting also changed in intensity. My wife thought it was a firefly since sometimes they show up near the trees in our backyard, but we concluded that they were not fireflies because fireflies cannot fly that high in the sky; they were not airplanes because we could not hear it and they didnt have flashing lights like airplanes normally have, plus they seem to interact with each other which is impossible for a manmade aircraft; they were not drones was for the same reasons. So since we could not identify them, we concluded they were UAPs. One thing I found curious is that we live like 20 minutes from the NSA Georgia.

Albuquerque (west of), NM
On the night of April 4, 2021 I was captain of a commercial passenger airline flight. A FAR part 121 airline flight from KTPA to KLAS. While in level cruise flight I happen to see an object out my left window south of our position slightly ahead of our 90* abeam point moving from left to right at what I believed to be supersonic speeds. The object appeared as a dim yellow/amber single point of dim light approximately 15* above the horizon and diverging slightly from our tract traveling in a westerly direction. The light increased gradually in intensity slightly dimmed then increased again before fading out of view. I estimate I tracked the light visually for 1 to 2 seconds and approximately 10* of arc horizontally. I could not estimate it’s altitude however it appeared to be in straight level flight and diverging slightly from our track in a westerly direction. As the light faded away I observed what I would describe as visible atmospheric disturbances similar in appearance to the trail of a shooting star but emanating from the front of the object as though it was moving so fast that it heated the air ahead distorting the atmosphere like a bow wave but did not leave a tail. The light intensity I observed was much less in intensity then any shooting star that I’ve ever seen . The object/light did not streak across the sky at high velocities in the way that I’ve seen shooting stars behave, it was slower but obviously much faster then our Airbus 319. The object traveled at a steady rate in high speed level flight leading me to believe that it wasn’t a shooting star or another airliner. I observed this object sometime after we past Albuquerque NM in route to Las Vegas NV at 36,000 feet on a moonless clear night approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours prior to landing. To my knowledge I was the only observer. I recently became aware that there is a way to report such sightings and this sighting is the only truly unusual thing I’ve observed in my 20+ year career in aviation. Sincerely, Captain *** ATP Airbus pilot
