portland, OR
I was travelling home from work from portland to washington northbound across the interstate 205 bridge, about halfway across the bridge just after passing governmnet island I saw a glowing pulsating amber yellow sphere parallel to the bridge, there must have been atleast 50 other vehicles on the bridge within sight as well, It was travelling south to north parallel to the bridge. I only got to look at it slowly moving across my view for about 5 seconds before it flew off with astounding acceleration north at a slight upward curve until it dissapeared into the clouds. I've never seen anything move like that before. The portland international airport is within a mile of this location, i could see 3 planes in the distance a few miles away coming in to land at the airport as reference points the orb appeared much much closer to the bridge I would guess 100 yards, I was driving with my window down and I could not hear any noise coming from the object, just! the wind/ noise from the passing cars on the other side of the freeway. I did not believe in Aliens before seeing the way that sphere moved with my own eyes, I've believed in the possibility of alien life on other planets, There are so many other planets out there some of them have to support life, But I didn't think they would be advanced enough to travel here until i saw the way that orb moved. They are watching us.

Las Vegas, NV Feb 17, 2020 at 3:14 PM UNLV parking lot behind Thomas & Mack Arena, near the Student Center. I checked the pilot weather. Mccarran Airport, a mile away from the sighting, was reporting broken clouds at 25,000 feet AGL. It was a very thin layer. The objects I saw were at or slightly above the cloud layer and smaller than the airliners flying at the same altitude. I saw 7 fire colored objects in a delta formation and the 7th object right behind slot object. It looked like an arrow formation. There were also two white orbs to the left and right off the objects in the wing positions. I did notice there was a rotating white light from some of the 7 fire colored objects, but no green or red lights like you would see on a standard aircraft setup. Then in an instant they all scattered in spilt second reverse directions. Nothing in our military arsenal can make such maneuvers, that I know of! Seconds later 20 or more appeared and disappeared into thin air. It seemed l! ike they phased in and out of this dimension. One fire colored object and one white orb remained, kinda dancing around each other doing crazy maneuvers. At times the fire colored object looked like it had 3 lights on the bottom of it, similar to the triangle shaped UFO I hear about all the time. The white orbs were just pure white plasma like I've seen many times before. Other objects would appear and disappear during the sighting. This went on for exactly 10 minutes. I filmed a lot of it with my phone camera. As good as it films UFO's, this one too high and the sky was too bright. I'm gonna see if I can filter the UFO's out in Photoshop like I've done in the past. The rotating white light makes me wonder if they were some sort of secret military craft. I'm not that far from Area 51. Maybe it was some kind of joint Alien/Military exercise! Whatever they were, I'd like to pilot one!!

I went outside at 5:20 AM. It was a dark sky. I immediately noticed 2 bright stationary star-like white lights (brighter than any other star or planet then visible) at about 10 degrees west of straight up or at an altitude angle of 80 degrees from the Western horizon. The lights were aligned in North and South direction and were spaced about 4 to 6 diameters of the moon (2 to 3 degrees) apart. The moon was quarter crescent. They then faded out beyond visibility within about 15 seconds at the same time as if there were coordinated. I thought I should report this because it is the second time I have noticed this same type of event. About a year ago in the Spring I saw the same thing happen with a pair of star-like white lights in the evening about 8:30 PM at an altitude angle of about 45 degrees above the North horizon. Those lights were spaced about the same and were aligned East West. Maybe these were both satellites but they must have been in high orbit because they did not move perceptively. I have found references to Iridium Satellite flares being seen in pairs but they were moving fast enough to leave a streak in the photo taken of them. http://www.astropix.com/images2/beginner/iridium_flares.jpg I have seen many satellites in low Earth and they move quite quickly. These object seemed to not move at all.

Round, bright blue light about the size of a basketball 200ft in the air, hovered for a second, shot to the ground, and shot back up into the sky and out of sight.

Today I could see 50 to 80 gray lights (light spheres) that were in the sky for less than 2 seconds as they appeared they disappeared in less of 2 seconds. The sky was blue without no clouds.

Fredericksburg, VA
On Valentine’s Day 2020, at about 6:30 AM, I was walking to my bus stop 1 minute away from my home. I saw an orb of light in the eastern sky. This was under cloud cover, so I know it was not a high-flying craft. The light was white, and it didn’t flicker or change colors. It stayed stationary for a few minutes; I captured a (fairly low-quality) photo on my phone at 6:34 and soon after, it started moving to the north, seemingly staying the same distance from me. It moved fairly quickly but didn’t zip off. As I saw it move, I got scared and turned around. Two of my classmates got to the stop about two minutes later. They didn’t say anything about seeing something, so I didn’t say anything to them. It should be noted that I live near a very small airfield, although I’ve never seen anyone out that early, and when I see those planes, they are always very identifiable as planes. This didn’t appear to have any sort of craft attached to it. Planes from Dulles and elsewhere never fly below the clouds near here. I am a high school student, so even though I have a profound interest in UFOs, I may not have the knowledge that could debunk this.

I saw a very bright orange/red/pinkish sphere to the northeast of my house. At first, I thought it was a planet until I realized it was way outside the ecliptic, and then I thought I needed to check what star could possible be that bright. I looked away for a moment to check on my dog and when I looked back, I thought it was gone until it reappeared and then seemed to flicker/spark and was gone. It was not moving so it was definitely not a meteor; however, the flickering out was very similar to the way a meteor breaks apart, but in this case, in a stationary position. As an object in the atmosphere it would have been low enough that it was some distance away. It never changed position. My wife an I saw three of these several years ago and they had the same color which I can never quite decide if its reddish, orangish or pinkish.

Ellenton, FL
this was a round abject. It was traveling due north. I was watching a jet fly east when I noticed this ball traveling at a very fast speed. i could guess it was going 3 to 5 times faster than any jet I have watched. After it disappeared I waited for the noise of the object But there was nothing. ball shaped dull silvercolor unbelievably fast no noise

Two spherical objects approached and hovered near my window. They approached slowly, appeared to notice me, and then hung around for about 8 seconds, before zipping off to their next location. The local avian community also appeared to notice, as many birds (more than normal) also began coming to the window and investigating. I've asked them (the birds) to let me know what they find out.

Janesville, WI
I was driving south on Harmony Town Hall road between Rotamer and Wilcox roads approximately 3 miles northeast of Janesville, Wisconsin. The sky was dark and clear, visibility was unlimited and the stars were shining brightly. My wife and I both noticed two groups of bright lights in the sky which appeared to be similar to aircraft flying in formation. The unusual thing was the color, all 5 objects were round and solid orange in color. I am a pilot and very familiar with aircraft lighting, there were no visible navigation lights (red or green) nor any white strobe lights. I pulled over to the side and stopped near the Wilcox road intersection. Despite the temperature being around 20 degrees (F) we opened the front seat windows and moon roof window to reduce internal light reflection in order to see clearly. One group of 3 lights was at our 2 o’clock position moving to the left (eastbound). The other group of 2 lights were at our 1 o’clock position moving in the same direction. At arm’s length I probably would relate all of the lights size to that of a BB that was bright orange. The two orange lights at our 1 o’clock position maneuvered unlike any flight formation would. The trailing light, which was to the right following the lead light, sped up and appeared to either pass through or around the other and it became the lead light still heading east. As they continued eastbound, the lights dimmed until they disappeared. The following group of three, continued moving east and two of the three lights dimmed in intensity and disappeared, leaving one light visible which by now was just about over the top of our ! van. With the moon roof open, we could not hear any sound from the light. As it passed over, it accelerated to an incredible speed and disappeared towards the east horizon in a matter of two or three seconds. I could not guess what the exact altitude might have been of any of the objects, but my guess would be based on the angle in relation to the horizon when we first noticed them, I would say maybe around 3,000 feet. The distance that last one covered would probably have taken a commercial airliner at altitude probably 5 minutes or more to cover. I am a licensed private pilot and worked for 4 years as an air traffic control specialist (tower) at one time. I since have retired from many years in manufacturing management. I am very familiar with the different types of aircraft but have never seen anything like what I saw tonight. The other witness, my wife is a registered nurse.

Snow Hill, NC
Out looking at the moon with friend, sun rises in East faint glow of daylight, full moon beginning to set west, few high level clouds but faint, looked up at moon and noticed, a row of high speed objects in very upper atmosphere or low orbit, appeared as dots, or about like stars, moving at a very high rate of speed spaced almost identically apart first 6 crossed entire sky in less than 30 secs, next row of lights flowed in same direction but not in the same line. First thought it was satellite but the sheer number and closeness together and speed was not like satellites I've seen before.

Watch a large stationary craft for about one hour. It would get brighter then dimmer. It appeared to have lights around it changing colors, mostly yellow and white then all blue at one point. A smaller orb light appeared under and to the right of the large object it moved quickly up and down then left. An airplane flew a ways under the craft. The airplane was lower and was tiny compared to the other object. An hour later another triangle shaped craft appeared farther away. It had 3 distinct lights on the back. Have pic, not high quality. Have photos and vids. Not that good of quality, but do show the object.

While sitting in morning traffic on highway 270 southbound right passed the Wooten parkway overpass I looked up to the left and noticed a bright orange orb/sphere to the East between college park and Baltimore approx. 5,000-10,000ft in altitude. At first I thought it was the moon with a orange illumination, but I was to small and to bright. That morning it was a heavy drizzle, so I thought I was stopped under a bright lamp and the beads of water on windshield was causing a refraction of light. I rolled my window down and looked with my eyes and saw a a bright orb just in one spot not moving as far as I can tell for about 2-3 minutes. Then, like a light switch, it moved slightly then just sped off, but faster than I’ve ever seen.

Northfield, ME
We were driving home from Bangor Monday evening (Feb. 9, 2020) and saw a large, round, bright white orb in the sky between Northfield and Marshfield. We were traveling south on Highway 192 on our way home to Machias, just talking, and the orb appeared in the sky to the east of the road. It was moving at a high rate of speed in a direction that looked like it might be heading for the bay, or maybe even Hadley Lake. When it got below treeline we lost sight of it. We’ve been watching the paper today to see if there was any mention of it, but there’s been nothing. We have both seen plenty of meteors and shooting stars while living in Colorado prior to moving to Maine, and this was nothing like it. No tail, no elongation, no color differentiation. Just pure, glowing white and round like a giant luminous ball. There wasn't enough time to pull over to try to take an image. This struck us as significant because of another recent sighting in Maine while approaching B! angor International Airport on a United Airlines flight from Newark to Bangor on Dec. 10, during which I saw numerous orbs in the sky as we dropped in for landing (my husband was not with me on this flight). Those orbs seemed to be orange-ish in color and were stationary. Again, there was no mention of anything in the news. I attempted to take a photograph with my phone, but it didn't come out. Those orbs were less clearly defined and seemed to be hazy or blurry around the edges.

White sphere moving from northwest to south east, no noise or any other lights indicating it was an aircraft. The sight happened from a driveway and was filmed with a cellphone. Later a helicopter flying on the same direction. Two witnesses, me included.

Glowing ball of light over West/Southwest sky. Did not move at all. Definitely not Venus.

Lying in bed at 2:00 am looking out the window I saw a (round) shiny red sphere in the sky flashing by, passing behind the trees. It was a matter of seconds.

Comstock Park, MI
Around 12 am is when i first noticed outside of my window, I’m on the second story of my house and my window looks out north towards Sparta. I was smoking a cigarette and blowing the smoke out of the window when the light caught my eye. There is a phone tower around 40 miles that i can see from my house and it has a red light that flashes.From about the same distance but 10 miles to the right of that, I saw a red light that had flashes of green. It looked like the red was rotating around the green light to make an orb shape. I honestly really didn’t think anything of it at first but then i kept watching it and it sat there hovering for about 3-4 minutes. Eventually the light just went out. I left my bedroom at that point and really didn’t think anything of it. I went back into my bedroom at 1:15AM to smoke another cigarette, and I was looking out my window to see if i could spot it again. That’s when i saw it again but this time a lot farther away. It was to! wards Battle Creek. I observed it for about 25 minutes, it was moving side to side and going up and down. I spotted it pretty quickly from red and green lights but it was so far away that it was easy to miss. I watched it slowly move towards the northeast. It was moving up and down and side to side. This is the second time I’ve seen an unidentified object in Comstock Park. The first time i was convinced it was a ufo because of the size of the ship and the tracks it left behind. The tracks dissipated in about 10 seconds. This time I’m not sure what I saw because i got to observe it for so long. I can tell you I’ve never seen anything like it though. I’ve never seen something in an orb shape hover in the sky with that light pattern. I am a 21 year old sober man who is in relatively good shape. I have no history of mental illness.

Carver, MA
The incident went on for well over, I first noticed its lights and it was suspended over the cranberry Boggs. It didn't move very much it just hung there in silence. I watched it for quite some time. I had my girlfriends , friends pull over up the street. At it was then I thought it would be a good idea to walk out to the far side of the boggs, it was quiet and much darker I snapped 10 pictures of the craft. I looked away and engaged in conversation when I looked back it was gone I did not see it leave and it didn't make a sound. i only witnessed one craft, it moved strangely when it did it had lights on all sides
