I’m a pilot for a US airline. I feel inclined to mention this. I’ve seen a few interesting phenomena that had an explanation. Not sure about this. My girlfriend, daughter, and I Saw a formation of lights. 7 white lights, perhaps unequal number on one side. Chevron describes it perfectly. It flew in the direction the chevron was pointing. There was a scattered layer of clouds, I verified at 12,000’ from the SJO airport METAR. The object was under the layer of clouds, I’m guessing 11,000’. At first I thought it was a design from a spotlight on the ground projected on the bottom of clouds that movie theaters use, or a more advanced laser projection because it was Halloween. But the lights maintained static brightness even when passing under an area without clouds. It moved flawlessly on track, with no variation. It wasn’t a projection from the ground. It wasn’t a flock of birds. Birds don’t have lights. It was completely silent. The formation of lights traveled from the southern edge of San Jose to the northern edge in Less than 2 minutes. This distance is about 10 statute miles. 10 miles in 2 minutes is 300 mph. Maybe a Completely silent, flawless formation of jets or a B2 bomber. The angle of lights was steeper than a B2, but wider than an F-117. It was much much bigger than an F-117. Without red beacon lights or strobe lights. I’m going with ETs... I didn’t even think to get a photo lol.

A substantially visible, thick, contrail-like plume was following an aircraft-like craft from a low altitude over Puget Sound to a higher altitude, with the plume spreading as it moved. Traveling west to east. It resembled a rocket or missile but was probably too slow to be a missle and was not clear enough to determine with the unaided eye. The bright, wide plume following it partly obscured the back end of the craft. This was not like a normal aircraft plume. It was highly unusual. The path was also unusual (a long arc changing from vertical to horizontal) and the plume was thicker than a normal airplaine. I captured video but parts of it are fuzzy (high contrast from tree silhouettes at sunset) and my viewing angle was not ideal (trees in the way). There is an airport here but this did not appear to originate from the airport. It appeared from Puget Sound or farther west over the ocean. Plume was bright orange due to the sunset effects until it reach a hi! gher more easterly altitude and more easterly trajectory, then it appeared as a normal whitish color. I've never seen anything like it. It did not look like falling satellite debris, it looked like it was self-powered or launched and then self-powered heading east toward eastern Washington State. If I held my finger up when it was traveling upward, it took several seconds for it to reach the other side of my finger. It was more rocket-like than plane-like but I cannot guess what it was. It traveled a considerable distance to the east (this was not a small local phenomenon like fireworks rockets, it was something bigger) and disappeared into the distance.

My girlfriend and I were in our backyard around 8:30pm and 9pm star-gazing when we noticed what we thought was a shooting star. As it started moving overhead it then transitioned into a black boomerang shaped craft. The craft was silent moving from West to East. It seemed to blend with the night sky yet at the same time repel it's surroundings. The only way we can describe it is that it was pushing through the sky. We could see some type of 'aura' or some kind of 'field' emanating off of the craft. The entire sighting lasted about 10 seconds.

This looked like an iridescent boomerang or like a stealth bomber with a sheath over it. It moved about the speed of a jet but silent and it was lower than the planes in the flight path . And you could almost see through it like a cloud but ghosts like. Like a plane with a sheet over it. Both myself and my husband saw this.

Burnaby (Canada), BC · Canada
I am a fifty-nine year old male writer. My distance vision is excellent. At about 10:45 pm, on October 16th, 2020, I was walking eastbound on Arcola Street in Burnaby, BC, Canada, near the Tommy Douglas library. The area is semi-urban. I stopped to look up, south by southeast. The sky in that direction was mainly clear and Mars was very bright. Small cumulus clouds were blowing past rapidly, eastward, creating a picturesque view. The clouds appeared to be at an altitude of about 1,000 feet over my position – roughly 1,400 feet above sea level. I suddenly became aware of something unusual in my field of view: an extremely large, chevron-shaped object, moving at roughly the same altitude as the clouds blowing past. It was, however, flying directly opposite the direction of the clouds, westbound. It seemed to meander in the sky, following a curved path. Its speed was leisurely. Given its approximate altitude, based on its interaction with the clouds, the object appeared to be several times the size of a Boeing 747. It showed no lights, but was illuminated by light sources on the ground. I can only guess at the color of the object, as it seemed to reflect the ambient light, blending in with the color of the sky. Equally, it may have been semi-transparent. Its sharp, perfectly geometric shape, however, was highly visible. I listened carefully and heard no sound whatsoever. A jet aircraft would have been extremely loud at that altitude. (My location was about 26 km from the Vancouver International Airport in Richmond, B.C. (16 miles.) The object did not follow a straight path, but curved back and forth in the sky, oddly like a gigantic bird riding the wind. I was able to observe the object for approximately one minute. It moved steadily westbound, disappearing behind clouds low enough in the sky that my view became obscured by light pollution and I lost sight of it.

La Loberia (Argentina) · Argentina
Date: Tuesday, October 13, 2020 Time: 9:00pm Local Time Location: Just North of La Loberia, Coastal Village on Atlantic Ocean, Northern Patagonia, Argentina What was observed: My wife and I both saw a dark grey boomerang shaped aircraft flying due East over the beach toward the Atlantic Ocean and eventually disappearing into the horizon over the ocean. It was a clear, calm night about one hour after sunset and I was the first person to spot the craft directly over head (90 degrees above the horizon) and my wife was the second to see the object seconds later in front of us (about 45 degrees above the horizon) while we were walking due East on the beach toward the ocean. I saw the dark boomerang-shaped object for approximately 8 seconds and my wife saw it for about 4 seconds. The object was completely silent and was traveling at an extremely high rate of speed but did not appear to be accelerating. The object completely disappeared into the horizon very quickly and had two, very dim red lights on the bottom-side of what appeared to be the wing-tips or “ends” of the boomerang. It was difficult to assess the altitude of the vehicle,! but we both estimated it could have been between 250 to 500 meters above the ground. The size of the object was also very difficult to ascertain but it was quite large as the event happened so quickly. I don’t think many people really understand how difficult it really is to approximate altitude or size of objects when these events occur so quickly during the night like a flash in time and with no time to react to perhaps take a photo or video with our phones. I am not sure even if we had the wherewithal to snap a photo if it would have even registered due to the darkness of both the night and the object and the remarkable dim red lights of what might be described as a nearly dead battery powering these two points of light at both ends of the object. I am an engineer and a former surveyor and I have had previous training in distance, angles, measurements, and orienteering prior to the use of the most modern technology, but I still am having difficulty with the size, altitu! de and velocity of what we saw that night flying through the s! ky. What ever it was, we both thought it was not of this world. It is also worth mentioning that the night sky was completely clear and star-lit, with the milky-way starting to become visible toward the East over the Atlantic Ocean; however, there was still a small amount of light over the western horizon from the recent sunset. There was no moon or artificial light present during our sighting and we were truly amazed at what we saw together as this was the first type of observation of this nature for either of us. It is important to note that we live in a village where we see almost no commercial air traffic and due to the coronavirus pandemic almost all flights have been grounded in Argentina due to government restrictions. When we do see aircrafts, this may occur once per week (or sometimes once per month) and they are typically flying at cruising altitude maybe at 8000 meters (very, very high above sea level) and what we saw that night was nothing like a commercial aircraft with ! exhaust trails taking minutes to traverse the sky and only observable during daylight.

We were enjoying a hot tub when directly overhead we saw a faintly lit chevron traveling about twice the speed of a plane traveling north to south. It looked more like reflected light than light that was generated from a source. At first I thought it might be reflected light from a flight of geese but the asymmetric chevron held an unchanging uniformity. It was comparable in size to a full moon, maybe a bit larger. The lights were somewhat faint and your average star like blue in color. They were steady and unchanging. There appeared to be maybe 4 linear lights on one side and 3 on the other side of the chevron. We heard no sound. I am an amature astronomer and this totally blew me away. I have never seen anything like it. Unfortunately we were in the hot tub so I have no images. Would love to know if anyone else saw it.

The aircraft was flying too low to be an airplane though, and it was not flying in the direction of our local airport: It was heading NW to SE towards Washington (we live in South Central British Columbia). This aircraft made no noise at all as if it were simply floating through the air. It moved slightly faster than an airplane and maintained a straight trajectory across the sky. There were five lights set in rows; one at the front, two mid/rear, and three along the back. All five lights consistently glowed yellow, with the front light flashing red and the rear corner lights flashing red on the port side and green on the starboard side, not quite the same frequency as a regular airplane but mimicking the pattern with a slower flashing frequency.

We were headed from Las Vegas to Ryolite. We were run off the road by lice/ military vehicles at a high rate of speed carrying an aircraft of unidentified origin. They never slowed an literally came right at us until we yielded to the shoulder. I have am immediately hand drawn sketch of the transported Oversized craft. We were headed in the opposite direction and litterally run off the road by police in both roadway lanes. This is bo joke

Note: I will put a full detailed description of the craft at the bottom of the report for extra clarity At 10:10-10:15pm on Saturday night (date was 9/19/2020) my best friend and I had just gotten back from getting some food from a local fast food restaurant. We pulled into the driveway and parked my car and had our usual end of the day catching up before getting out. Once we got out of my car I took about five steps and was standing behind his car, which is parked directly to the left of mine, and noticed movement in the sky above me. I looked up and to my shock saw a boomerang shaped craft about 150-200ft off the ground cruising slowly over our house, the wildest thing was that it was completely silent. I could hear crickets chirping and cicadas all around us but not this thing. It was heading towards the southeast. I watched it for a good two seconds before i slapped my friend on the shoulder and told him to “Look at that fucking thing” and he saw it as well, we both watched in complete disbelief for another two seconds before it disappeared behind a tree that’s in a neighbot’s yard behind our house. After me freaking out for a good two minutes I told him to get in the car because we were going to try to follow it since I thought it would be flying towards a specific area that has been known, by my family at least, to be a small hotspot for UFOs/ UAPs. Unfortunately we did not end up seeing it again after we lost sight of it behind the tree. If i had to guess I’d say it turned before we got in the car to try to follow it, I genuinely believe there should be other witnesses to this somewhere in town because of the simple fact that it was flying so low. Description: The craft was boomerang shaped and 25-35ft from wingtip-to-wingtip. It was mostly black but the perimeter of the craft was white with lights(?) that were turned off lining the outside of it. The tree it eventually disappeared behind is probably 75-80ft tall and this thing was NOT far from the top of it at all. It was moving very slow, it’s hard to put a MPH estimate on it but it went from overtop where our pool would be to disappearing behind a tree in about 4.5 seconds.

Around 20:30 I saw a blinking light, similar to strobe light. At first I assumed it was a plane or a helicopter, but after a minute or so, the light didn't move. Only the blinking light was visible. The object was in a clearing between the clouds. During dusk, it was still pretty bright, so I took my binoculars an looked at the source of light. I saw an object, dark in color, chevron shaped. Facing me with one side, blinking light in equal time intervals . Looked like the object had the same light on the other side of it. Smaller lights were visible on the bottom of the object, changing colors from green to blue and purple. My wife witnessed the object as well and confirmed the shape and lights. After around 20 min hovering in the same spot, 70 degrees above the horizon, the object began to move Westbound.

At approximately 11:00pm, on the night of August 23rd, 2020, amateur astronomers viewing Jupiter witnessed a comet with a fiery trail to the left of Saturn travelling downward in Saturn’s direction. About a minute after the comet 3 boomerang shaped objects appeared traveling from the comets direction toward the North; they were a dull orange colour slightly glowing, they flew together but not in unison. Approximately 15 min later, ending at 11:03, a second sighting was made by 2 of the 3 witnesses; there were an estimate of 50-100 of the same boomerang shaped UFOs travelling in the same direction as the previous 3. The UFOs made two scattered V formations while traveling; ending the sighting, 2 of the UFOs from the large group travelled south, almost directly above the witnesses, moving much slower and then turned back North and sped away disappearing into the sky. One of the 3 witnesses saw a large hexagon-shaped object with no glow or light, leading t! he large group of UFOs.

My husband and I were enjoying the evening in our balcony. As I was looking up at the stars, I noticed what seemed to be a Chevron object, almost with a infrared glow, coming at a very fast rate. My husband quickly saw it. It made no noise and left no trail. I'm going to guess it was about 2,000 feet up. It moved past us and then we saw a ball of light and it was gone . I have been searching local sites since last night,in Hope's that someone else saw it as well.

Hello Peter Davenport. Thanks for taking my call Tuesday, 8/18/20 and per our conversation here’s my account of the UFO sighting I noted that occurred on 8/15/20 at 12:45 A.M.. I, and a friend named Rob, was doing some deep sky imaging astronomy at a friend’s anch in Burnet Texas, when around 12:45A.M. Rob spotted what looked like a “blinking star”. Initially, I figured it was either a satellite, airplane, pulsar, or something else, but initially looking at the object naked-eyed it didn’t appear to move against the background stars, or moved imperceptibly slow that I could not detect movement, so I took a break from imaging and went over to use my other telescope to look at the object visually. When I saw the object through my telescope I could hardly believe what I was seeing. The object wasn’t any of the things I thought it might be, and I don’t know what was, nor have I seen anything like it before. The front of the craft was semi-circular, and the rear of the craft was less distinct but appeared to pan out in a wedge shape. The craft had 4 distinct very bright lights on the bottom, two towards the front, and two at the rear, which flashed in succession (two in the rear flashed, then the two in the front) along with small pin-like lights around the perimeter edge of the semi-circular portion of the craft that flashed third (front of craft). I shouted to Rob “Oh My God, you’ve got to see this!”. When Rob saw the object he too was amazed, and he confirmed what I was seeing, describing the craft exactly as I saw it. Initially we looked at the object for about 20 minutes, then I decided to train my imaging scope on the object and take some images. I took a few images starting at 1:02AM CST. My imaging scope is a wide-field setup so the resolution isn’t what I would have liked it so be, but nevertheless, I took some images which I will send to your email address. You will have to zoom in to see the object. I am sending a couple of JPEGs, but per or conversation I do have the “FITS” images which is an astronomy file standard that contains various pieces of data including the date, time, equipment used, resolution, etc.. If this is needed, I’m happy to send these too; one image is over 16 meg so I am not sending these files at this time, but the JPEGs are a direct copy. The pictures I’m sending were taken with a 106mm objective at 530mm Focal length and at roughly ¼ second exposure. Also, the craft lights flashed repeatedly as noted above, and continuously throughout the time we observed it with no change in intensity nor frequency. I did revisit the object twice after the initial sighting and there was no change in the flashing behavior. We initially spotted the object in the constellation of Lacerta, and the object seemed to move very slowly and not is a straight line like a satellite or aircraft would. The object started out (from our initial spotting point) in the north-east about 68 degrees up from the horizon, traveled west by southwest crossing the zenith, traveled north, the then moved almost due south. This occurred over a period of about 3-4 hours. Let me know if you would like to discuss this sighting or need anything else.

It seemed to glide across the sky, and was relatively slow moving. At first I thought it was a plane, but then it seemed much too close, just above our heads. So then I thought it was a large bird or a maybe a large kite, when it seemed to move faster and was getting distant. At this point I noticed about 6 points of light around the perimeter of its shape, right before it disappeared. It didn’t disappear on the horizon though, it just vanished out of the sky. Both my wife and I saw it. We saw a second one about 10 minutes later across the sky in the opposite direction. And I saw a third much fainter one far up in the sky about another 10 minutes later.

Eugene, OR
At about 1:03 a.m., in the early morning hours of August 10, 2020, I saw something out of the corner of my eye coming over the distant trees to the south. It was faint but very distinctive. The sky was completely clear and dark but this object resembled something as it might be traveling through clouds because it was very hazy and muted. Yet, I was able to make it out clearly. It was shaped like a very wide V but the point was a bit more curvilinear-kind of like a boomerang. Each side of the V was made up of about three rows of thin, parallel striations of light that crossed the V lines. Think of train tracks, or a flock of geese flying in formation. That is what it reminded me of, with the outstretched wings representing the lights. Only you would have about three rows of geese side-by-side. The color of the lights was a golden yellow to orange. This object was about 5 times the size of an airplane that you would see way up in the sky, where sound from the plane can no longer be heard—from where I sat it appeared as about a ½” to ¾” object. There was no sound whatsoever--it was completely silent. I saw the UFO come into view as it passed over the trees to the south of me. It moved faster than a plane that passes overhead, but it didn’t streak across the sky either. It moved at a consistent rate in a completely straight line from the south to north, and my gaze followed it until it passed over rooftops and trees in the distance. I would say I watched it for about 10-15 seconds. I came inside and drew a picture of it, then took a photo of the drawing, altering it a bit to make it look similar to what I saw if anyone is interested in seeing it. It is the strangest thing I’ve ever seen and I can’t get it out of my mind.

I was in the back yard area of my apartment complex with only my dog when I saw what I thought was a drone. 1 solid black object that appeared to be a pentagonal pyramid flying slowly through the air. It looked to be about the size of a small car and less than 1000ft or so from the ground. It was about a mile from my location. It moved from the NE to the North gaining altitude in a slow bank. I saw lights like big LEDs that lined the edge of the craft and were colors like red and green that lit in sequence like a wave. The movement was the strange part since it wobbled like a poorly thrown frisbee and rotated clockwise in relation to the ground fairly slowly. From what I can tell it had to have crossed I-35 from East to West. I continued to watch it move in a Northerly direction until it got out of sight still gaining altitude. Hardly a cloud in the sky, at least in that direction. I have 20/15 vision, and I'm a veteran. I have never seen anything like it and I've had interest in aircraft since childhood having attended a handful of airshows. It wasn't a conventional craft. It wasn't a piece of trash because this thing was clearly rigid and to well defined, especially considering the lights. Hence, why my first thought was a drone. I knew something was wrong when I noticed the strange movement of it. It also had no trail or noise signature. I have recorded some video of it on my Snapchat.

This occurred 5 minutes after I saw the Black shiny object in the same part of a clear blue sky. I went back outside to see if I could see any more of the object that I had just saw. I was looking up in the sky and I saw to my left a white chevron shaped object appear. I watched it thinking it was a seagull. But a seagull wouldn't be in the central part of Ct. It wasnt. It was solid and it flew on an upward trajectory then accelerated to a speed greater than any jet I have seen. It flew right up where the Black object had dissappeared, did a loop dloop, and zipped up so fast I looked around to see if any of my neighbors had seen it. It was that crazy fast. Then it was gone.

The objects were one small above one large and one small below the large. I went into the house and picked up my iPad to take pictures. When I returned with the iPad they split into one small high in the sky and one small on the left of the large one that were closer to the earth. I took pictures of this formation.
