This is the 4th time in about a year we have seen a bright Green light shooting vertically across the sky and then disappearing almost similar to a shooting star but looks closer to earth. Once it shot directly in front of our windshield while driving. It’s in the same vicinity every time. Maybe a fireball but how would we see it 4 times in a year or less. Just seems odd.

Object was circular/sphere like in nature, color was bright orange. Object was very large and bright (larger than an aircraft). Object was sighted over San Francisco from Tiburon (the skies were clear). Object hovered between Trans America/Salesforce Tower for nearly 4 mins in same spot, and then quickly flew off.

My husband (sales Director), dad (retired police chief) and myself were outside after putting the kids to bed. Not positive on timing. Looking at the sky we were looking for satellites among the stars. Backs facing Long Lake (East), we were looking up facing West. The Big Dipper was behind us (we had to turn heads to view it). We all noticed this single bright light (brightest “light” in the sky) moving slowly, then stopped before changing directions then disappearing all together. The skies were clear, no clouds. We all saw it were all shocked! Eliminating planes and satellites, we assumed it was some sort of UFO. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Possible]

Hello at 8:30 pm. my brother and i saw an object/light above the mountains as if you were going to las vegas leaving 29 palms. I noticed the anomaly right after passing the palms restaurant on amboy road. I noticed it because it looked like a star but super bright and the only one. I looked around outside and confirmed it was still light out so no stars were visible yet. I mentioned it to my brother and he said something along the line of it's a planet or star. I told him to keep looking and that it looked as if there were two lights. A smaller one above a much larger light but so close as if they looked like one light. He said if anytime it was twinkling. After that he looked away. No sooner than looking away it just vanished. Just gone as if it was turned off with a light switch, instantly gone. As soon as it disappeared all i could say is " it's gone" (i never looked away after noticing it was the only "star" or whatever it was in the sky) i looked at my brother and his jaw dropped. When it disappeared we had just past the telephone tower next to our home. We pulled over in our driveway and my brother got out his phone and used two apps. One was for looking at stars and planets. Absolutely nothing was in that direction. The next app we used tells us the location of planes and helicopters. There was a jetliner two moutain ranges back but this is not what we saw. We agreed we would continue looking that way until we could see the jet. I ran to my home and charged my phone and called my friend at 8:42 and then 8:46. At first he didnt answer so i texted and called agin. He picked up and my brother and i told him what happened and what we saw. After getting off the phone with him we saw the jet and knew that it was way to high in the sky and it took roughly ten minutes to see the jet. My brother and i both agree that this is something we have never seen before and that it was definitely not a plane. It never moved from the position above the mountains my brother and i both agree on that.

I did not actually notice the UFO when I was taking the pictures I uploaded. It was only when I got home and started looking at the pictures and noticed that there was an unusual spacecraft in the 3 pictures it's included in, and that it was in different positions in each picture and the pictures were taken within a period of 60 seconds. I considered that it could be a lens glare but the object is too defined and detailed it looks like something that was definitely created. Hence, I concluded that it was a UFO.

I was in my room and I saw 3 almost translucent/holographic small sort of dark bell-shaped objects appear all in a row and of equal size in a straight line, they hovered around as if I was being observed - they moved around the room a bit and then disappeared. While they were present, I stuck my arm out and moved it through the objects from left to right, as I did that - the cross section appeared as maroon with some yellow where my arm cut through them, this is how I know they were not just a trick of the eye or something like that- I interacted with them by doing this. Perhaps multi-dimensional? Also on 13Jul23, I was sleeping at my parent's house (they live on farmland in Enumclaw, WA) and I woke up around midnight to the dog barking. As I lifted my head up, I caught a dark image through the blinds moving away from the window - the window is waist high so it had to have been a taller subject and I recognized the movment to be strange/not like any animal. I got up and checked outside from all of the windows and saw nothing however it is dark in the felds. I went to lay back down and I saw through the blinds a light move from left to right quickly and then disappear- there is no light source in their backyard and no aircraft moves like that (that we know of). The dog stopped barking. Never in my life have I experienced anything like this that I am aware of at least.

Just one craft visible, hovering red lights constantly on, then it looks like other red lights were coming towards it, and as soon as they all came together, they disappeared so we stopped. I snapped a photo of light in the distance, and then a zoomed in the same shot same angle, and I didn’t know what I was picturing until I looked at the photo and that’s what came out.

Saw a formation of orbs sitting in the sky off the coast toward San Clemente. They did not appear to move but would disappear then appear again in a new formation. As few as 3 and as many as 8. All disappeared for a minute then reappeared in a vertical formation. They were an orange mush color but seemed to get brighter/whiter at times

My wife is retired air force and knows a lot about satellites and planes. She can't explain this. It was 6 bright lights very high above, moving in a straight formation. They shot quickly through the sky but we lost them because trees obstructed the view. It was probably a coincidence, but dry lightening started right when we saw them. Too organized (followed in a straight line) to be a meteor shower. My wife thinks there's a small chance they were planes from the base, but they were very high and very fast. I watched the starlink videos you posted but this was much faster and there were only 6 or so. They were white lights, possibly other cars but I was so surprised that I don't remember. It was night, so we could only see the lights.

My location is approximately 6200 above sea level. The object was elliptical and lasted approximately 1-2 seconds. I'm not sure of the dated but, If I'm not mistaken someone reported a similar one in a location around Colorado Springs, Colorado.

It was a fast moving craft that looked like a fire in the sky but then all the lights went off on it and it was just a black craft flying in the sky. After watching it for a few seconds after the lights went out on it , the craft just kinda faded away and could not be found again. I did get video of it before all the lights went out but it is very shaky and hard to make out.

I noticed a light that disappeared then reappeared before disappearing again. It appeared to be a star at first which seemed odd. I noticed many aircraft flying in that direction following.

I observed a white circular light in the sky for about 3-4 seconds before it disappeared. It was very bright straight ahead of me. I would estimate it was at an altitude of 2-3,000 feet.

Driving out of the mountains last week I saw a metallic flying object that looked like a flying toaster but larger. It had a dark area to the backside or left on the object. When I stopped my truck to record it the thing vanished in a blink of an eye. There were no clouds in the sky or trees in the way to block my view. It happened so fast my son did not see it. The flying object was only 300 feet high at the most. It was moving fast laterally like it was paralleling our trucks travel direction observing us. I took a picture of the sky where I last saw the object after it disappeared. I stood there for a few minutes trying to figure out where the thing went or see if it was going to reappear. No sound I could hear like a plane. Right after it disappeared there was a white jet or drone that flew overhead where the object disappeared from. The drone looking thing was high in altitude compared to the flying toaster shaped metallic object I had seen. The flying toaster object was approximately 20 ft long and 10 feet tall. No flashing lights but there was a dark area on the back or left side of the object. It was traveling fast from my left to right in the sky.

Around 10:15 PM I saw this light in the sky. It was something traveling slowly from north to south (right to left in photo). It had a wide wide beam of light behind it (pointing north). The trail of light stayed in the sky for a few minutes after the object was gone. SpaceX launch from Vandenberg [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Probable]

Winder, GA
On the evening of July the 19th, I was outside at approximately 10:00 PM gazing upon the southern night sky. I noticed that about three to four, what appeared to be, commercial aircraft lights. Only one of the aircraft was following a rather typical flight pattern and that is what caught the attention to that of my curiosity. The three lights that were out of the typical flight patterns, are what I was watching. All three were at about a 30° angle from the south sky. One was traveling east and the other two were traveling west, with about a 4° gap spacing between. While watching the two lights traveling westward, the one lighted object, which was in between the other two lights, simply just vanished before my eyes. I've ruled out an iridium flare, for I am lucky to have witnessed one in the daytime years ago. I would also like to add that the lighted object that vanished, never had any flashing anti-collision lights.
