Dingwall, HIGHLAND · United Kingdom
It was almost 2 years ago now but at the time didn't know how to or who to report a sighting. I wrote down at the time what I had witnessed and now will share it with you. 15 minutes ago, 2300 hrs, Sat 11th Jan, 2020. Dingwall, Scottish Highlands. Went out to my apartment balcony for a cigarette, was looking towards the West when I saw a bright orange light emerge from the back of the hill about 5 miles away. I at first thought that it was an aeroplane but the light wasn't flashing just a faint pulsing glow. I was waiting to hear the sound of an engine but there wasn't any sound at all. It was difficult to guess what altitude it was flying at, but guessing I would say 2-3 thousand feet. It took about 4-5 minute to pass my view point. I have seen Chinese lanterns before and this was definitely not one, it was travelling at a steady controlled speed. I then came inside to view it from my East facing window for about another 10 to 15 seconds until it just disappeared as if to go behind a cloud, its a clear night and not a cloud in the sky. Really freaked me out. Was very sceptical until now. Highlander - 11-Jan-20 @ 11:33 PM.

Various shades of Blue lights traveling northwest. Followed it for about 2 miles till it was lost then reappeared on the order zen more than 5 miles away. It would flash from a central position and then change locations. It did this maybe 6 times. 2 times it lit up and radiated light for long enough to tell it was moving very fast. Lost it then found a clearing in the tree line and could see it far away radiating about 5 beams of light from a central position. Then disappeared.

At approximately 520 mountain time, my partner and I were driving home from the store. A silver, metallic orb was suspended about 3 stories across the street from our house. There were bright red, green, yellow blinking and rotating lights around the bottom of the orb. We got out of our car and walked across the street to look at the orb, trying to identify if we thought it was a drone or some kind of satellite. The object was hovering initially and then, without a sound, and very quickly began to move upward into the atmosphere and eventually appeared as if it had “star like” qualities, and then disappeared UP into space.

I have noticed a extremely bright ball of light the resembles a star or planet in the night sky sometimes ever night and then nothing for a long while. It comes from the East or Southeastern hemisphere or night sky and move very slowly and quietly to the West or Northwestern Horizon. I have made several videos and will continue to do so as It comes. You can see very clearly that it is within the atmosphere of the planet and not a star, planet, drone, or star link sat.. flying in orbit. Its as high as a passenger airliner and fairly big you can tell from discernment of good observation. It looks like the ufo that appeared over the temple mount in 2011. When ever we first noticed thi ufo several years ago, me, my wife and daughter all had a paranormal experience with a really bright fl ash oh light. My daughter seen it flash above our home one evening about 3 years back and about a week later I had just lay down for bed at around 5am my bedroom has no uncovere! d Windows that light can come through from having heavy dark fabric covering them. About 5 minutes after laying down I seen a bright flash of light only for a millisecond and immediately arise and woke my wife and said did you see that? and she said what that flash of light. .I said what????? how did you see what I seen and you snoring with your head underneath a body pillow. WOW!!! It's been coming around every since that happened. It seems people all over are posting videos like the one ai already mention on YouTube of the same type ufo from all over the world either orange in color or pure white color as I see quite often. If anyone nows what this is or have information That might further our enlightenment of what this is please say on here in a report. Thanks God bless.

I saw a black sphere travel for approximately 45 seconds in a completely straight line until out of sight. This was shortly after 11 AM and there were no lights on the object. It was quite far away from me. It was about the size size of an M&M held at arms length. I would guess that it was several miles away if not further. There were other commercial jets in the sky that I could compare it to. It was well below the cloud cover and other plane traffic lines.

I was driving into Austin it was still dark. Noticed the Big Dipper. About 20 minutes later I noticed a plane at a high speed underneath. The sun came up I noticed it was a plane with a chemical trail behind it. To the right I seen a bright orb. It disappeared quickly after two minutes max. I noticed this dark cloud with a bright light from the top of the cloud and a bunch of planes coming out of it from the top right. They too were producing a trail. I noticed one plane coming out the bottom left as well. Then a smaller orb close to were the plane was. The orb disappeared fairly quickly. The other orb was faint and didn’t stay long. I also noticed a bomber plane while I was driving toward Camp Mabry disappear not cut through a cloud just not visual.

Date of observation 1/06/2020 00:23 to 00:28 Sitting on my back porch when I happened to look up and saw two extremely bright, stationary lights directly to the south. The sky was cloudless. One round light was brighter than any star I have ever seen, the second light, also round and below the brighter one, was not quite as bright but still brighter than any star I have ever observed. After approximately five minutes, both lights suddenly disappeared without any obvious movement. It was like turning a light switch off. Neither of the two objects moved from the positions I observed them in, the lights just “went out”. I thought that perhaps some clouds moved and covered up what I was seeing so I went inside to retrieve my binoculars and used them to observe the area of the sky where I had seen the bright objects. There were no clouds in the southern sky at all. This freaked me out.

On Sunday January 5th 2020 at about 7:45 PM. There was a white sphere hovering over the ocean. Object could be seen from the beach in Isla Vista and from the hills in Santa Barbara. Was neither The Moon nor Venus. Object was not a plane landing at Santa Barbara Airport either. Object seemed to hover for about 40-45 minutes and then proceeded to enter the ocean quickly and abruptly. There was a plane flying around over Isla Vista doing several loops for about 20 minutes when this object was in the air. That pilot might have been aware of the object and extremely likely the pilot witnessed the bright white sphere hovering out over the ocean. We could not judge distance or size of the object due to the black night sky other than we can say it was over the ocean. There is video footage of the object taken from the hills of Santa Barbara. Unfortunately the person filming did not take good footage and the clip is short and at times out of focus. Very curious if an! ybody else saw this object. I have yet to find any info or reports on the object. I am versed in astronomy, physics, and have flown planes. When first observation of the object, we suspected a helicopter or plane, yet the characteristic of the high degree of intensity of the white light and silence factored a more curious examination. Watching the object fly into The Ocean convinced me it was indeed a UFO of some sort. I have combed the Internet for any reports of the object. The only thing found was a youtube video that left much to be desired. So I am logging this report into the database.

I'm sitting in my truck in the drive about to come inside. The wife just came up to me asking what I'm moving so slow for. I AM a joker by nature, I love to be weird and get laughs so I'm screwing with her, doing my country(er) accent thing. Then I see a faint glowing reflection off the top of my driver mirror paint. Just car headlights somewhere..kk. THEN my wife looks up, shifts her entire head and full attention into the air. Well she's a bit of a nutcase sometimes so nothing weird there. Literally, my mind went straight to, "she's looking at whatever I just noticed reflect off my mirror..whatever it is...I'M going to pretend she's seeing things." But then I see this glow out of my close peripheral vision come into view from under my trucks roof. Now I got a clear line of site but my comedian ass is still joking with her so I'm not looking at this thing directly yet. But during this whole bit, I'm thinking OK, even through peripheral vision I'm understanding thi! s is something I haven't seen before. Finally I look as it's fading off...what I would assume is 50 miles away. My wife stared directly at it from start to end. Finally I quit joking with her and said, "ok, real talk though, you seen that too?? That was weird right?" I imagine this detail might be significant to other obnoxious husbands...for me to abandon a dumb bit I'm playing to annoy my wife....I can only imagine it WOULD take a ufo. I've been out doing ranch work since the sun came up, same thing yesterday, and so on. My only entertainment is toying with the mental state of my wife...and I go all in. But heh, sure enough, look at that. Now, from the instant I noticed a glow reflecting on my mirror to seeing this disappear...maybe only 5-6 seconds passed. Visually I would describe by asking you to imagine a high power spotlight shining up into a clean layer of fog setting at 1000ft. Or roughly where you would see low level clouds. The glow of the light hitting the fog would create an aura in that spot in the fog. Almost as if it was a glowing segment in the fog if you ignored the spotlights existence. Tonight though, in NE Oklahoma, specifics specifically at 2020 time. 8:20pm There is still no cloud cover at all, much less fog. Rationally I can't explain how this, without some form of translucent matter surrounding it, would glow since there's nothing in its vicinity to reflect a light. And there is no physical object that i can see, just a high speed glow. So..Clear skies, highspeed glow travelling at a speed I WOULD closely compare to meteorites when you see them fly from one horizon to the other in seconds. Being a (just gonna call it glow blob but use discretion as that is slight humor the rest is simply strange enough to find myself reporting it, to a site I had to look up "google, how would I go bout reporting a ufo?" lol) Ufos and aliens are topics that are unfortunately ridiculous now. Its IS truly unfortunate and most of society would hate what I attribute the majority of that fault to. My point though is any story requires credibility now for it to even be entertained. Take this for what it's worth. I'm US Army Vet. From 82nd Airborne 2nd brigade 2nd battalion. 2Fury. Jumped and sometimes just fell from a LOT of C130s and C17's traveling faster than you ever would believe people are ok with jumping out at. Jumped day, night, hollywood(no ruck), and full combat loads. Took part in Operation Jade Helm and Operation Trident Juncture and couple others. I began in an 18x contract going straight into Special Forces. Completed all preliminary courses and finally after months of the most difficult and gruelling punishment the US government could legally bestow upon us..I had a major fracture in my right ankle during Selection phase of the course. I mean, my foot turned black, blue, yadayada, but it also had a giant green streak from my shin to my little toe. I don't know..but it was bad. 1st of many injuries. Spent the rest of my career in the earlier stated unit! . Listen, I know drones and everything else. All that crazy stuff most of y'all go nuts over, they are constantly training and running drills over Ft. Bragg with. At any moment you can search and find a drone. Which reminds me, this ufo made no sound whatsoever. No afterburner or late detect due to range, nothin. I cant evaluate size or elevation since a glow blob provides zero reference but it was surely at least above 800ft. Likely much higher but I'm only confident giving the low range limit. Lastly, for knowledge sake, I have theorized how aliens and ufos could exist that make logical sense to me. But this didn't even exist on THOSE extreme variables. Something else. Flying from east To west btw.

Quay, NM
They looked like large stars and appeared to be coming right out of the Mesa. They made an arc very low on the horizon and moved from north to south. The last ones got larger and then all went out at once. They didn’t move really fast. Maybe 75 mph. They were spaced precisely the same distance apart! No noise at all. There are no homes in the area. Very isolated!

My boyfriend and i were going to chipotle on powers and s. Carefree. we were at stop loght and looked south down powers,saw the ufos. There were 2 . One would go up past the other then back next to down and the one standing still would then get brighter.. it did this for about an hour. Then the one going up and down dissapeared. i watched the one left until it dissapeared a little later. it would stay still for the most part. though a plane was passing by and i saw it get dimmer and move down, as to keep distance from the airplane.

During new years fireworks I observed 2 orange glowing orbs moving at a slow speed, In a perfectly straight horizontal line across the night sky. They were higher then any of the fireworks that went off and they had a constant brightness that never changed until they faded away. They moved in perfect unison together at a constant speed. After moving for about 5 min they slowly faded out and then 2 more immediately appeared where the other two appeared and then repeated the same thing.

On Friday, December 31, 2020 ((sic. January 1st, 2021)) just after midnight at 12:03 AM we were outside on a neighbors patio celebrating New Years Eve. We were admiring how bright the moon was that evening. After looking up for a minute or so I noticed a bright Blue Orb moving rapidly in different directions around the moon and pulled out my iPhone since it was so strange and there was no visible light coming from the ground to the Orb. My wife also pulled out her iPhone to record at different times. The ORB moved very quickly in the sky and was visible (as it appeared close to the Moon) both with and without cloud cover which was moving rapidly across the Moon. We have recording on 2 iPhones of this weird event. On my wife’s recording the size of the Blue Orb appears smaller and then larger. The Blue Orb appeared, disappeared and re-appeared on several occasions and moved very rapidly. We sent our video to several folks who noticed the same things we did. I’ve never reported any UFO sightings in the past and believe this was not a natural phenomenon or some type of laser pointing / sourced event. One of the individuals we sent this to indicated they watched an NBC report from the same day in Hawaii about Blue Orgs. When we heard this we decided to file a report. We have these videos. We live in the Hill Country of Texas and this event was witnessed by 6 to 8 people.

Pflugerville, TX
At approximately midnight on New Years 2020, I walked out onto back porch in Pflugerville Texas to admire fireworks on the horizon. During the display, I witnessed three orbs ascended into the air. At first thought, I was trying to figure what kind of firework they were. Then I realized they were too in sync to be fireworks. They had almost the exact distance from one another; too close together to be commercial air planes. It would be like planes taking off from an aircraft carrier in the heat of battle. From the ground I’d say just a few hundred yards from each other. The orbs were sparkly, not blinking, not red, blue or white. They were like the glow of sky lanterns but obviously they were in a synchronized flight pattern ascending into the air until they disappeared over the clouds. The fact it happened during the midnight firework display was almost as if they were trying to camouflage themselves. I was lucky enough to get my phone out and snap video of! the lights. Researching online, I found a similar encounter with three orbs back in 2015. The witnesses photo's and video look very similar to what I witnessed on this night.

At work on New Year's Eve. As I looked up in the sky watching the fireworks. I noticed a glowing orange red orb around 70 to 90 feet above my head. There was no sound and moving at a slow pace. Once that past by my head I noticed a second orb moving in the same direction from the north to the south.

We saw a two tone orange object/lights above the tree line. It moved very calmly and calculated across the sky and headed toward the lake. Suddenly a second one appeared in the same spot and traveled in the same path and direction of the previous. Then a third one appeared in the exact same spot and headed along the same path. Then a fourth appeared and did the same thing. It was dead silent and we could not hear any noise what so ever coming from the lights.

3:31 AM Monday, December 30, 2019 Gasquet, Del Norte County, California As seen through Bedroom window with no lights on inside room or house I woke up and opened my eyes. Looking out the bedroom window, I could see a cloudless sky full of stars (Orion and the Seven Sisters were both visible). It was then that I noticed movement across the sky from the treeline towards the house (roughly moving from west-southwest to east-northeast) of what appeared to be a whitish-blue satellite. I rubbed my eyes and grabbed my glasses to watch it as it moved, as it appeared to be deviating from its course in sporadic bursts that were perpendicular to its direction of travel, at times seeming to zigzag back and forth across its general direction of travel. I call them bursts because each time the object appeared to return to its main path, and the speed of the bursts was eight to ten times faster out and back than the speed of the general pathway that the object was taking. I have watched the skies since I was a kid and have seen countless satellites-- including the space station, but I had never seen that kind of motion that high up in either the outer atmosphere or in outer space. I checked the data from the Heavens-Above website and could not find a satellite traveling along that orbit at that time on that night, so I do not know what I saw which is why I am reporting it here https://www.heavens-above.com/AllSats.aspx?lat=34.11036&lng=-118.44846&loc=house&alt=300&tz=PST
