Gilbert, AZ
I recall seeing a tiny black dot in the distance appear and move very fast from left to right in a straight line. A second later a black metal sphere with a red flashing light appeared in front of my bathroom window where I was showering. It hovered and was wobbling a lot from right to left and left to right, but stationary in the same position just wobbling. It looked like a bomb was my first thought. I ran out of the shower screaming for my boyfriend to come look. He saw it for about 5 seconds then it was gone in the blink of an eye. He ran outside to look for it but it was gone

I was standing outside of holiday inn express looking towards the mountain to the northwest of town when I saw a reflection in the sky, I pulled out my phone and zoomed in on it to see that it was a very large, metallic cigar shaped object that was moving from left to right with no visible signs of propulsion.

Hajdoše, Starše Municipality, Slovenia
When I got to the room, I saw a strange light. I walked to the window and immediately saw very strong lights that were somehow spinning. When I looked once, I saw a very small disc with round rotating lights. Then it was as if this object detected me, came a little closer and started measuring me like a laser with this light.. It moved extremely fast, a little up a little down, left and right. I thought I heard some kind of buzzing. It was an amazing experience and I know what I saw, I'm sure it was something extraterestrial. And there was my cat in the room, she acted very strangely, and she hid under the bed. My boyfriend was at the bathroom at the time, i. called him on the phone. He didnt answer. When he got in the room, he saw what i saw but just for a few seconds. Then the object dissapiered. He looked on the phone, and there was no missing call from me. He said he felt strange in the bathroom, like the time stopped.

My friend and I noticed a light brighter than anything in the sky stagnating over Winfrey Park at White Rock Lake. We were too far to see anything with the naked eye, but the light was insane. After about 30 seconds, it slowly flew to directly across from us, over a neighborhood, before it began a 5 minute flight directly into the air. It was at a gradual pace, still much brighter than anything in the sky. We never saw it on the ground. I have a video of it flying. After the 5 minutes, it flew towards us over the lake at a speed that I couldn’t even imagine. Spacex launch form Florida [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Certain]

I was going on a midnight walk when i looked at the sky and saw what initially looked like an asteroid burning up while entering atmosphere but then realized it couldn't be because after i saw streak of fire behind the ufo it briefly disappears then re appears and continues moving then when moving a haze or aura appeared trailing behind the moving object SpaceX [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Certain]

Not only did we see things flying through the sky for hours above the Sol Duc river, we also had strange phenomena happen at 11:30, 12:30 and 2:12 am involving a bright flood light type light shine on our tent ( remote camping ) without a sound. Every time my husband got the tent window unzipped it went off. I was truly and still am petrified about what happened that night.

Both me and my girlfriend were in the car driving home from a baseball game when we mutually observed 3 red/orange craft in the air hovering at about 500 feet in a stationary triangle-like formation. The 3 craft then began to drift slowly to the east, when 1 by 1 they began to fade into the night sky. My girlfriend was able to take a pretty good video as well as a photo of the event and has left us very convinced of what we saw.

Watkins, MN
My wife and I live south of Watkins, Mn on a farm slightly higher in elevation than much of the surrounding area. We have seen strange lights when looking to the East, generally towards the Buffalo area. We have seen these on multiple locations all times of the year. Typically they are white to red in color and varying in intensity. Sometimes they hang out for several minutes other times it for a brief moment. Almost always they will just vanish without moving much. They will show up just above the horizon, maybe a finger or two width from our vantage point. We have seen as many as 3 of these strange lights at one time. We have had multiple friends and family that have been with us that have also witnessed these strange phenomenon. Most leave unsure of what they just saw. We moved into this place in the fall of 2019 and have seen them the whole time, the latest sighting was just a couple weeks ago on July 15th 2023. We were hanging out with a friend of ours at our grain bin bar that has a view of the eastern and south east sky. We saw these lights on and off for a couple hours. Our friend had not seen these lights before and was surprised to hear how common of an occurrence this was for us. He was so bothered by those lights that he reached out to me yesterday July 27th 2023 about it and this is what has pushed me to post this. These lights are not planes, radio towers, drones, or anything that you could reasonably use to explain it. I have seen them just after dark as well as 2:00 am, middle of summer or a cold winter night. I'm not saying I know what they are but it sure is strange.

We were out just before the international space station was to fly over at 9:50 PM Pacific time. At 9:46 I noticed what I thought was the ISS near the star Arcturus (too early) and it was flying straight east the only thing different this object covered the sky from Arcturus to the horizon in about one minute, it takes the international space station 11 minutes to cross the sky. I checked all my online star maps- looking at recent launches and I don’t have an answer, Its description, About mag 0 maybe -1. No sound No course correction. looked like a satellite. (Just so it’s not from North Korea) [NUFORC annotation: Satellite - Probable]

Asbury Lake, FL
I with other witnesses were having a conversation while looking up at the sky when we saw an object that seemed odd. It was just a bright light moving from west to east across the sky at what appeared to be an extremely high altitude. However it moved faster and was brighter than what I have normally seen from satellites. As it gained more attention from the group the objective instantly made a 90° turn to what looked like straight through the atmosphere with an acceleration that I have never seen in my life. I was transfixed and shocked and confirmed others saw what I had just seen. Fortunately I also had my girlfriend on speaker and she could hear the others confirm what I saw. Now I'm not sure if what happened next was right before or right after the object accelerated away an orange stationary orb appeared in the sky. It was just stationary and silent before just disappearing.

While having diner, people around us noticed blurred white circled unknown object bouncing in the sky and changing locations fast, being seen on one location standing still, then shifting to another location in the sky. Sometimes it was very visible and sometimes it looked like "it dived deeper in the sky". We were surrounded by people seeing the same object and seeing yesterday's article about British pilot seeing the identicaly described object in the Slovenian sky, we decided to let you know that we also have it recorded. It was definitely not any light play in the sky, as the sky was clear and just before the sunset, the object was strangely changing locations in the sky. In first and second second of a video you can notice whitish circled object on one location, and in 11th second it being seen northeast from the initial location.

Doyline, LA
I was standing outside my home on the west side smoking a cigarette being directly between my house, and a strip of trees that separates the adjacent home. As I was smoking my cigarette, I noticed what I then believed to be a neighborhood drone, or the direct neighbors drone, meandering in the wood-line approx. 10 yd. high and 12 yds. away. The craft as essentially invisible with a prominent, yet soft, green light at its center. I had guessed the craft was helicoptering to stay aloft, but it made no sound, and no mechanical movement was observed. As I watched it, it became aware of me and began to watch me through the darkness. I felt no danger whatsoever. Soon the light, as it swayed and bobbed almost imperceptibly, hid itself from my direct line of sight by placing a very skinny tree between itself and myself. I honestly found this humorous, as if it were a game, but then I was still thinking it was a drone from a kid. I would walk forward somewhat and again have line-of-sight on the green light, and it again would softly and slowly position itself with another skinny tree between the two of us, perfectly breaking line of sight each time, with no accidental deviance to reveal itself if i stayed stationary. Soon I noticed another green light, higher by 2-3 yds., and closer by 1-2 yds., not trying to hide at all as it entered the area amongst the trees. It was at this moment I began to feel unease. I continued to try and maintain line-of-sight on the first light, but soon it was positioned behind a large tree and I could no longer advance to change my vantage as the bramble of the woods blocked my advance. I wasn't completely done with my cigarette, but I snuffed it anyway as I left with haste to go inside, almost fleeing. Never once did i feel danger, but I was at once put at unease by the appearance of a second light. I also felt as though there were many lights that were unseen, positioned array-like among the trees, yet this is likely to be nothing but paranoia induced by the appearance of the second light. Until Yesterday morning I had forgotten the incident, thinking it nothing more than a childs toy, until I watched the UAP open conference and have come to understand the intensity of our situation as people on a planet among many. I will and can freely admit to any and all experiences related to this matter as truthfully as possible. And, to know, no one in this neighborhood has any drones, and especially not the family and kid nextdoor, as I had assumed at the time, makes me believe it was an UAP. My friend may have been with me, I don’t recall if he was or wasn't.

Seattle, WA
We noticed a strange metallic object reflecting light in the sky and spinning around and drifting. It looked to be the same distance away as the jet planes we also saw flying that day, but further away than the planes taking off from the nearby SeaTac Airport. Based on this distance it was around the same size as a small jet plane. It was S shaped (letter Z, number 2 or 5, etc). It spun around but did not follow the same direction of the wind that the clouds were being blown in. It changed direction, descended a little bit once, changed direction again, and then ascended out of view. It is unclear if the lights that we were seeing were from the aircraft or if it was reflecting sunlight, but it did seem to be propelled by its own power source.

Singaraja, BALI · Indonesia
Saturday, June 15, 2023, around 17:10 WITA in Bali. As I finished swimming at the beach, I bought some meatballs and sat down in the beach sand. Unaware, I looked up and saw an object flying very high. It had a bit of shine, like light was piercing through it (transparent), but it was still visible due to light refraction. I observed this object flying for about 1 minute and then it suddenly disappeared without leaving any trace. I tried to continue watching, but the object had completely vanished. I am a person who doesn't believe in such things until I see them with my own eyes. I didn't manage to capture it with my camera, as I didn't want to lose focus on the object and my mobile phone camera was not good enough to photograph it. I really love space, that's why I always observe the sky. Sorry for using Indonesian language to explain the situation. Original report in Indonesian: benda bercahaya terbang sangat tinngi, dan hilang tiba-tiba tanpa ada jejak. Saya cek di flight radar tidak ada pesawat di dekat saya Sabtu, 15 juni 2023, sekitar jam 17:10 WITA Bali, Saat saya selesai mandi di pantai, saya membeli bakso, dan saya duduk di pasir pantai, tanpa sadar saya menengok ke atas, dan saya melihat objek yang terbang sangat tinggi dan sedikit berkilau seperti cahaya menembus objek tersebut (transparan) tapi tetap terlihat karena pembiasan cahaya, saya mengamati objek tersebut terbang kurang lebih 1 menit dan objek tersebut hilang tiba-tiba tanpa meninggalkan jejak, saya mencoba memperhatikan terus tapi objek tersebut sepenuhnya hilang. Saya adalah manusia yang tidak pernahmempercayai hal-hal seperti ini sampai saya belum melihat dengan mata kepala saya sendiri. Saya tidak sempat mengabadikan dengan kamera, karena tidak mau saya menghilangkan fokus ke benda tersebut dan kamera HP saya juga kurang bagus untuk memotret benda tersebut. Saya sangat menyukai angkasa itulah alasan saya selalu memperhatikan langit. Sorry I using indonesia language to explain the situation

Royal Park, SOUTH AU · Australia
While smoking a cigarette in the backyard approx. 5 - 6:30pm Saturday 15/07/2023 - I observed an object east of my position in Royal Park - above the Adelaide Hills(20 - 30km away)- It caught my attention because of it's altitude; it seemed rather high for a helicopter. There were 4 x lights flashing red & blue like car indicators - one light to each corner of a narrow(flat) rectangle shaped object; Every now & then; a brighter white light would flash like a light house(3 - 5 secs). Appearing Helicopter like as it moved slowly southward; it then stopped and hovered for about 8 - 12 secs. It then moved again slowly in a southern direction(4 - 6 secs) and then stopped again hovering(5 - 8 secs). It then began to travel west towards me(2 - 3 secs); and then bank to a northern direction while increasing speed( 2 - 3 times faster than a standard commercial passenger jet). It then adjusted its heading a final time while increasing speed again; to a north east direction leaving a plume in its wake - disappearing below the Tree & roof line of my neighbours property. It didn't seem to change its altitude during the event. Incredible

I was exercising(walking)in a park, mostly was stationary to breathe some fresh air. The day was sunny(beautiful and very windy)with allot of huge clouds in the sky, then I noticed a shining light that hurt my eyes, I then saw a black disk like object close to a commercial plane for a minute a so, and decided to take pictures of the plane. As I looked at photographs to my surprise there was what I saw to be a UFO hovering near the clouds close to a commercial plane as if it was examining it and anything around. In the photograph is the same type of disk like shaped UFO with a light aura around it as captured by air force pilots on TV, in the next photo you can can see the UFO has clearly vanished without a trace. Before the sighting I was experiencing headache, anticipation and anxiety for unknown reasons. Also I suffer from sciatica and was experiencing terrible neck and back pains.

I saw the object and began watching it taking photos and videos. It did not appear to be an airplane and it did not appear on the FlightAware app. It was moving in a straight line and was circular, shiny in color, reflective and there was only one. I’m not sure what it is but thought it was worth reporting. In the video an aircraft flew somewhat close by perhaps someone on board is a witness. I did call earlier and I spoke to Peter Davenport about this.

The only way I can describe this. I went outside at 5 o'clock in the morning Saturday morning. I sit down as drinking some coffee. I look up and I see 2 objects in the sky. And I'm thinking it's a plane or it's a drum. The more I got to look at it more it was not a drone one of them wouldn't Come down close to me , but the other one did and I seen it I because it was like it was playing a game. It would look at me and go back up then it would come back down . It look like A fairy. It was flapping his wings so fast, This did this for over an hour. Then I got tired and I turned around and was going into the house. I seen another one This one was bigger, it had multiple colors and it was just sitting there. I got some footage of this one actually moving and the other 2 going over to it. I cannot explain it by writing this. That 1 did look like UFO..

Shasta City, CA
My fiance, his dad, and I were visiting my fiance's cousin and her boyfriend in Shasta. After we returned from dinner, we sat out on their porch to look at the stars for about an hour and a half, from about 11 pm to about 1230 am. We were facing Mt Shasta, looking in a Northeasterly direction. We saw the milky way really clearly, a couple of satellites, a plane, and a few small shooting stars. Then a few minutes after midnight, a single, very bright white light (brighter than any star, satellite, or plane we saw that night), entered into our view coming from the N/NW direction (to our left). It was oscillating (going up and down). It moved like you might expect a drone to move (kind of jerky, constantly adjusting its altitude) but it was SO much bigger. So bright we could see it clearly from almost 10 miles away. It was gradually descending, all the time bobbing up and down. From our perspective, it was going slowly. If we were watching a car for example, I would have estimated it as going about 5 mph? It was slow. We didn't know what it would do as it lowered to the mountain, but when it reached the silhouette of the mountain, the light went out. It looked as if it either landed on the mountain or went behind it. It did not ascend again. We waited outside for another half an hour but didn't see anything else. None of us could understand what it was. All of us were completely sober (we don't drink, and none of us were intoxicated in any way at all, and only had mint tea and cookies after dinner). Three of us were not from Shasta. It was our first time visiting. My fiance and I are about 40, my fiance's dad is 70, and my fiance's cousin and her partner are 65. The latter two believe in UFOs; they live in the area. My fiance and I had never seen a UFO and weren't looking for one while we sat outside that night. And my fiance's Dad is a chemist and is totally skeptical, but even he couldn't think of anything to explain it.
