Mandeville, LA
Saw flying objects in the air and started videoing it ,it appears they are spinning like a top but can change shapes and with their speed or maybe for it with burst of light and swift movements. The energy around them in photos are obvious as well and aren’t in any photos taken of planets or sky unless a UFO IS SPOTTED AND YES IVE SEEN THEM MORE THAN ONCE, actually 4 different times & just recently first sighting was this one.

Le 12 aout 2022 entre 18h et 18h10, le témoin sur une terrasse privée est interpellé par la présence dans le ciel d’un objet qu’il ne reconnaît pas ni à l’œil, ni aux jumelles. Il pense tout d’abord à un aéronef, mais l’objet n’a pas d’ailes, ni d’empennage (dérive). Il est d'un blanc très vif, très éclatant. Le témoin pense alors qu’il a peut-être observé un dirigeable. Deux autres témoins présents observent également le PAN. Durant l’observation le témoin prend une photographie avec son téléphone portable. Le témoin note la présence d’avion de ligne plus haut à un axe presque perpendiculaire à la trajectoire du PAN environ 2 à 3 min après. Cet avion laisse une trainée de condensation. Un seul témoignage sera recueilli. La consistance est correcte : témoignage unique mais plusieurs témoins et photo du PAN (sans métadonnées). L’étrangeté résiduelle après enquête est faible (voir le compte rendu d'enquête). L’analyse a montré que le témoin avait observé un avion de ligne, l’avion Mitsubishi CRJ-900LR, vol DLH3AJ, opéré par la compagnie Lufthansa. La description et l’aspect visuel du PAN sur la photo : cylindre d’un blanc très lumineux, évoquent l’observation d’un avion, et plus particulièrement de sa carlingue, vue en pleine journée et se détachant par contraste sur fond de ciel bleu. La mention de l’observation du deuxième avion 2 à 3 minutes plus tard sur une trajectoire perpendiculaire à celle du PAN, a permis de retrouver les deux avions : le PAN et l’avion bien identifiés par le témoin. Les conditions d’observation, en particulier, l’angle d’observation modéré, la distance, la forte réflectivité lumineuse de la carlingue blanche de l’avion et les effets de l’atmosphère empêchent les témoins de reconnaître cet avion. En ce qui concerne la visibilité de l’empennage, celui de l’avion incriminé était de couleur bleu azur, pouvant passer inaperçu sur fond de ciel bleu. La trajectoire rectiligne à vitesse constante confirme l’hypothèse. Les deux avions n’évoluant pas à la même altitude (environ 600 mètres d’écart) il est probable que les conditions de pression, température et humidité soient différentes et expliquent que seul un des avions ait généré une trainée de condensation. Faute de données plus précises (le radiosondage le plus proche ayant lieu à environ 200 km du lieu d’observation et une heure plus tôt), ce point ne peut être formellement confirmé, mais reste tout à fait plausible. Des situations similaires ont déjà été observées et étudiées par le GEIPAN. Le cas est classé A : observation d’un avion de ligne. [GEIPAN classification A — Avion de ligne]

Mt. Rainier National Park- Ashford, WA, WA
In August 2022, I visited Mt. Rainier National Park with my cousin. I took a bunch of pictures with my I-phone 8. It wasn't until I got back to my hotel in Ashford that evening that I saw something in the photo. While zooming in to the left of the mountain, it appears to be something that resembles a typical "UFO." It looks like a gray object in the clouds to the left of the mountain. I took 3 pictures back-to-back, and it only appeared in the 3rd photo. I did not see anything or hear anything at the time of taking the pictures. The location was near the Henry M. Jackson visitor center, on the trail to Myrtle Falls. You may contact me if you need any more information. Thank you.

In the images, the small sphere to the left is a star, possibly Vega. A small white object appears moving upwards (it may be a bug near the camera, I don’t know) and a sphere also rises from the bottom of the screen toward the right. Then a cylinder either shoots up, or lengthens upwards from a shorter “barrel” form. The bug continues upward, the sphere begins to sink, and the cylinder lengthens. The cylinder suddenly begins to separate and contract, but it appears to contract into the barrel shape; the barrel then abruptly exits along the same path and direction from which the cylinder emerged. The sphere rises and exits the screen to the left. It was quick.

Littleton, CO
I was sitting on my back patio watching a storm move in (facing North) and I saw this object cruising along just above the treetops about a mile to a mile and a half away. It maintained the same speed, and at times almost looked like it had a tail. It made no sound and had no lights of any kind. It looked close to a flat grey color, although it appeared to change color at times. I watched and filmed until it disappeared behind some trees.

Ontario, CA
While driving east bound on 10 fwy, I saw this cylindrical object just past the end of the runway at Ontario airport, maybe one or two miles. The object was not moving. It was in the direct flight path. It was at the correct altitude of a plane coming in for landing. The craft was cylindrical but wider than it was tall by at least double. The object had shiny metallic looking panels. From my viewpoint the center panel was taller and wider than the panels next to, as they wrapped around the object. I believe there were at least five large metallic panels. Some smaller panels. The reason I noticed it was because it was stationary. It was difficult to see, at first, because the color looked like different shades of metal, from dark, almost black to shiny almost white. Behind it were the San Bernardino mountains, which were gray brown. The sky was clear. Once noticed the object was easy to see. It made no sound. Had no lights. No smell. No windows. Did not move. Hung in the air. After seeing the object on 8/4/2022 I forgot about it completely. Then on 8/25/2022 while driving past that exact location, I remembered it again. Then quickly forgot it. Yesterday 10/4/2022, while driving on the 10 freeway in that exact location I remembered it again. During the day I repeated seeing it in my mind to try to remember when I got home so that I could write it down. Not only do I remember it today but I did a sketch of it. The object was a bit darker than shown. It had more panels than shown.

I noticed the object in the NW it traveled west until it went out of my sight. It was black in color, cylinder or barrel shaped. No sound. It was traveling fast. It went behind the clouds once.

Above the habour, right before fireworks began. My son, Mother, and I noticed a bright vertical craft moving oddly towards the beach across the water. It was very bright and low in the sky,, it had a faint blinking light under it. It didnt emig any sound or trail. It stopped 1-3 times very briefly, then slowly faded out into nothing beforw our eyes. It happened within 1-2 minutes.

Medicine bow, WY
We were stargazing and noticed some lights coming over a small mountain on on the northeast side of our camping spot (#15 @ willow campground) there were 6 sets of two lights down the center of the vehicle and a single light at the tail end. It made absolutely zero noise as it floated from above the tree line to the opposite side of the campground circle tree line. We could see a shadow behind the lights of the vehicle that made it appear to have a cylindrical shape. The vehicle appeared to be big. And because of its size and closeness it should have made noise but it didn’t. The lights didn’t reflect onto anything and there didn’t seem to be a front vs back in regards to where a person would be to pilot it. We were next to a loud river and while the object was passing over all the outside noises stopped until it fully passed over us.

Was running boat north bound and noticed the object stationary over the lake. It was not moving and was extremely bright. Took a photo then it slow faded away as if it got further and further away.

I was swimming in my swim spa when I noticed a dark shadow in the sky no light was being emmitted to the naked eye. I could see nothing except a slight shadow .When I put my infrared binoculars on it I recorded 2 minutes of what I described above. At about 1 min a dark matter entered the cylinder and all the colored particles dissapeared The object slowly faded and started to dissapear. It seemed the camera was malfunctioning, but it was not. The infared records in B&W, I see color through the the lens. I have other recordings . Mt Shasta is about 50 miles away. I can send the video

A blue fierily cylinder shape object just flew across the sky. As it passed us, the object faded and turned into a ball and disappeared. But left a blue haze or aura in the line the object was going.

I was outside smoking a cig with my wife & roommates and looked in the sky and saw this white light then all the sudden it shot up 1000 ft in a second and stayed still. Then it started shape shifting and showed a white light then red then green for about 5 minutes and then all the sudden boom it just vanished! All of us couldn’t believe what we had just seen!

We have the date to if you need it get a hold of us . Thank you Susan and Travis Reft . We have seen more than this in Alaskas skies and have decided to share theses pictures now . You can see in the picture of the huge ufo ther is a worrmhole shadow circle that opens up that’s where it dispersed into and how it appears you can also see what appears to be exhaust coming from the ufo also . It was shinny on the top like a reflection of the sun was giving it power or camouflage appearance..

It was a glowing cloud behind a flashing light and it looked like there was a spotlight all over the cloud but more specifically from the light. It was moving in downward/ side ways across the sky. Nufroc note: Rocket launch

Beaver Island, MI
Five of us, ages 20 - 79 were sitting around a campfire. Weather was clear and no wind, about 70 degrees. Sun still fairly high. There was a medium loud, EXTREMELY FAST huge whoosh from west to east over us. We experienced/felt a sensation (energy/air?).. At first, we just looked at each other in shocked disbelief, then out loud to each other "did you hear that?". Our mixed breed dog immediately ran to the east then back to us very fast with all hair on her back and neck standing on end, She was obviously freaked out. Twenty-year-old Ethan happened to be already looking up at that moment and saw two objects flying side by side, shinny metallic, about 2-3 feet wide and 4-6 feet long, about 100 feet in the air. Because of the speed, he said it was actually a blur, but this is his best description. The rest of us saw nothing as we looked the direction it was going, and there was no visible tail. Note: none of us were predisposed to believe in UFOs, but probably not 100% disbelievers either,

White to silver gray colored cylinder, no tail or wings, no sound or con trail, no lights. It was moving too slow and low for a commercial jet.

Van Nuys, CA
We saw a round, tuna can-shaped object (a little deeper cylinder than my drawing) with white lights on its two parallel edges, that may have been at jet travel height, flipping over and over while traveling in the same direction it was flipping, in a completely level-looking horizontal trajectory, due east to due west. We had gone out to observe the ISS pass over and when the ISS was almost directly overhead, this thing almost crossed paths with it (although at a lower altitude), its trajectory almost perpendicular to the ISS. Not a satellite or drone. I immediately stopped watching the ISS. I was so awestruck I didn't have the presence of mind to film it with my iPhone until it was miles away, a tiny speck. But, I think I see it flipping in my zoomed-in edit. The original 25 second video became 20 seconds, beginning with10 seconds of nothing prefacing the UAP. As it was only a speck at that point, I did not watch it until it was out of sight. It was only after I zoomed in that I saw that its odd flipping motion was apparent even miles away.

Van Nuys, Los Angeles, CA
After much research, I have come to the conclusion that the lighted, flipping object I saw was most likely "space junk." There must be many UAPs with lights on them that are actually lights on the circumference of a rocket booster or similar. The lights are probably mounted so that the rocket boosters can be located after falling back to earth. And I surmise that rocket boosters are disengaged at a lower altitude and could come out of an initial orbit to end up in a trajectory against the direction that satellites typically rotate around the earth. Still, at the time, it was marvelous to see!

Concord, NH
July 10, 2022 8:09 pm. Sunset 8:27 pm. From my vantage point standing stationary facing South on Curtisville Rd. at the north end of Beaver Pond. Conditions were clear skies, no wind. While filming the sunset against the south bank of trees surrounding Beaver pond on Curtisville Rd. in Concord, NH, I looked up at the moon which was 3 days shy of being full (Full Moon July 13). The moon was to my right, South/Southeast. I noticed contrails above and to the right of the moon travelling from right to left which corresponded roughly with a West to East heading. I decided to take several pictures and then zoomed in on what I would describe as a fast-moving UFA: Unidentified Flying Aircraft. When I zoomed in (30x) I noticed 3 heat signatures that looked like 3 jet engines in afterburner mode. Since the aircraft was moving roughly West to East, I concluded that I was looking at 3 jet engines on the port side of the aircraft. I also noticed a puff/plume of dark smoke in the contrails that gave me the impression that it was either 'throttling up' or may have been experiencing engine trouble or a 'flame out' on the starboard side (which I never saw). There was absolutely no sound which may indicate that it was travelling at a high sub-sonic speed or it was a greater distance away than a sonic boom would travel. Below are several pictures. The object was only visible to me as I zoomed in. It had a roughly cylindrical shape and was flying straight and level the entire time. It covered what was open sky in less than 30 seconds. It has been difficult for me to describe the shape. It looked like a blunt white craft with 3 jet engines visible almost like a rocket but did not seem to be moving that fast.
