Mueang Chiang Rai, CHIANG R · Thailand
I was travelling to Baan Dam Museum in Chaing rai, Thailand. I was shooting a photo of a bulding and during those time I had not seen anything on the sky. After that I take a look a my photo I see one moving object in the sky and i did zoom in and see another black dot shape object over the roof of the building. And there are also another two black dots objects over the tree. And another one is over the roof in between the tree. [NUFORC annotation: Bird - Possible]

My sister and her 3 sons are seeing these nightly. It reminds me of the Aurora Borealis the way it shifts but there are some type of crafts accompanying the atmosphere changes that morph color and play tag. I have tried to find a reasonable explanation but there is none. Law enforcement refuses to respond because our county is very meth stricken so they think she is on drugs hallucinating and she isn't.

Sacramento, CA
(This is a direct transcription from my hand written notes I wrote right after seeing it). I swear I just saw a ufo around 5:45 looking due South from my apartment in downtown Sacramento near the Church Of The Blessed Sacrament. The light in the sky caught my eye because the yellow / white incandescent looking light looked rather strange. There was a brighter light at top but other similar less bright lights below. It almost had a Santa and reindeer effect if you use your imagination or another way it looked was a sort of cross because there was a time when the light extended out to the sides and made the light in the sky resemble a cross. During this time the light looked like it was coming toward me and lowering in elevation, (Flying due North towards my direction) but then the lights changed to blinking strobe type white lights that where dimmer and seemed much further away. I know this probably sounds like an aircraft but as a long time aircraft enthusiast and former Air Force Airman this phenomenon looked different to me. Now the object seemed much higher in the sky which seemed to happen quite quickly. Also, the blinking strobe type white / blueish lights looked like they where around the perimeter of a more spherical looking object but again it was much more faint and distant looking at this point and high in the sky. It finally moved out of my view in the apartment as it moved to my left, (Going East). I gathered my keys and wallet and put on my shoes and sweatshirt to go outside on the terrace but by the time I got out there I couldn't find it in the sky any longer.

The object was the size of a large star. It was blinking and pulsating rapidly, and it was changing colors. It emitted all colors of the rainbow. It was not moving, and a shape could not be discerned. It could be mistaken for a star, but I have never seen a star behave this way. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Probable]

Cape Girardeau, MO
I viewed the object from the Kentucky Fried Chicken building on William St. in Cape Girardeau, MO. on 11-29-2023 at 12 noon. I first noticed white birds circling a parking lot street light at 2136 William St.. Then, above this lamp, I saw a vertical cylinder shaped object constantly rotating and going in and out of visibility as it turned. It was shimmering in the sunlight with sparkly light and silver spots then completely disappearing and reappeared over and over. It resembled a translucent veil covering a tin can. I estimate the size as big as a box truck. I watched it for several seconds trying to decide if I was really seeing it. I was with my father at the time but he was unable to see it as his clear view was blocked by a sign. When I reached for my phone to snap a photo the object vanished. Immediately, I noticed two helicopters in the area and counted 17 other aircraft within 30 minutes of the sighting, which was weird for Cape Girardeau! I am not crazy and know what I saw. I did check with the locale police department, but they had no other reports of sightings. I included a pic of the exact location where I saw the object above the light in the center of the photo.

I woke up on the couch in my living room, to seeing changing colors of lights coming from above the house from outside my window. I remember looking at my phone and it said it was 4:54 am but I don’t remember anything after. I then woke up again in a panic, around 6:20 am, not remembering until later in the day what I had seen.

Sun City West, AZ
At 10:15am three of us were watching the Luke AFB fighter jet fly over Sun City West. Above the jet was a group of small what objects that quickly changed shape as the jet flew below them. The objects were much higher than the jet. They then slowly changed to a "V" with one side longer, then several shifted from one side to the other side very quickly, not movement a bird flock could accomplish and this group was way too high to be birds. Watched the group from about 60 degrees in NW direction to 90 degrees directly above Sun City West then lost the visual in the sun. The group constantly changed shape. At one point several of the objects broke off from the group and could be clearly seen individually then rejoined the group. The one photo we have is very very blurry. It's the faint white object in center. There were NO clouds in the sky, it had recently rained so the sky was exceptionally clear and blue.

Grand River, OH
This was a very bright sunny day clear blue skies as I looked up above my apartment I noticed a large group of what I thought were flares because they were orange and extremely bright. The objects had moved north towards the lake and eventually disappeared within two minutes the objects reappeared and came back the same direction they had just went. They had changed colors shape and size. I went through and took screenshots of the video in slow motion and you can see there was at least three different objects that they changed into including a saucer shape and I had some pretty clear images that looked just like a perfect saucer.

I went out on my back deck that faces north at approximately 8:30pm. Looking off to the West on my left I could see one bright light,which isn't impressive as my wife and I live 5-10 minutes away from an airport. There were no landing lights, no strobes. Just a solid bright white light moving slow. A 2nd light appeared from nothing below it. It was dimmer, slightly yellow. As the 2nd started to rise up, the first light moved to the left, allowing it space. A 3rd light appeared off to the lower right of the 2nd,and started to rise as well. The 2nd and 3rd light grew in brightness to match the first light. They all 3 started to rise higher to about 45 degrees, instantly fading to smaller pin spots that moved off left,and right, at different speeds and disappearing. I could see this with my eyes. I ran inside to get my binoculars,and to get my wife to see them. As we're coming back outside, 4 lights of equal brightness are all moving in different directions at different speeds in the same area I viewed them individually through my binoculars. As they moved left and right, they would get dimmer the faster they went,but still visible. Briefly, a 5th light appeared acting with the same mannerisms as the other 4. At this point I did notice more aircraft in that part of the sky, approximately 4,but I couldn't tell you if they were commercial or military,but their lights definitely blinked like standard lights on a plane. They all disappeared momentarily again, with 3 reappearing with the same brighter white, and one dimmer yellow/amber one moving back and forth at a faster speed. By 9pm, only 2 were visible but dim, and moving slowly, and they gradually disappeared. When my wife and I came out with the binoculars,she witnessed their movement as well. Like I said,we live pretty close to an airport,and see all kinds of lights attached to planes. These didn't move like planes,or give any signs of typical aviation notifications. I'd give anything for the Akron/Canton airport to look at their radar records for that time span today.

There was a reptilian looking alien thing standing on my front porch. Head shape changed smaller to large, neck was vibrating, had a gold orb thing floating around. Boyfriend couldn’t see him at all when looking directly at it.

My mother and I saw several objects in the sky at approx 430pm this afternoon November 9, 2023. It was about 80° with mostly clear skies and some stratus clouds way up. They were heading about 30°N and flew across half the sky for about 30 seconds while we watched from the dock. Waaay high up - they went into super high stratus clouds towards the end but we could still see them through the clouds for a bit. I saw 2 aircraft with no wings - but there was something folded over on the sides. And they were big enough that we could see that detail from that high. I saw the 2 aircraft flying in perfect formation, but one of them kindof twisted and looked like there could be two craft on top of each other, then they merged again. They gleamed white in the sunlight. There was no trail behind them and absolutely no sound. Mom agrees that we have absolutely no idea what they were. My father was an engineer for the Air Force and designed several planes, including working on the B2 stealth bomber, so my mother and I are both familiar with different aircraft. We currently live near NAS JAX and are used to seeing all sorts of aircraft, but these were like nothing we have ever seen.

My attention was caught by a blinking light that presents on the left, top portion of my (attached) video. The light was blinking but also bouncing around in space in a localized area in about one second intervals and with no seeming pattern or succession. Then a lower second UAP appeared on the bottom right hand side of the video and it looked like it had "white exhaust" intermittently spewing from it, which did not appear to be completely attached to the UAP. Then, when I slowed down my video and took screenshots of different frames of the video, it looks like this (bottom) UAP was rotating in space doing multiple somersaults causing the UAP to "shapeshift". This UAP first ascended slowly and then eventually swooped up higher into the sky more suddenly like it had gained momentum. I took zoomed in photos of some frames in the video that show more detail. It looks look "a mothership" spawning UAP's. It looked like the UAP would split into two or something would spawn from it which started out as a single light being spawned and later turned into two lights. If you have access to technology where you can view the video slower frame by frame it might show more related detail. Due to the quantity limitation of submitted pictures, I wasn't able to post a picture where it actually looks like the UAP turns into a pair of lit up "skis" that are two straight lines that start ascending higher, the UAP turns into a ballish shape and then it turns into the pair of "skis" again as it swoops up seemingly toward the blinking light. Sidenote, if you ever need a remote employee there I would love to be considered! [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

Craft hovering further than airplane distance. Would change shape from round to oval. I thought it was Space X, but there was no trail. The craft started to drop small lights which quickly disappeared. I then thought it might me a meteorite, but it remained in the same spot for 15mins, finally disappearing.

My first report was hurriedly done and pics were trapped in my camera. I watched a very bright light through our leafless tree for a couple minutes. I called my husband and we watched together a couple more minutes with binoculars. My husband saw a blue aura. I saw a blue light burst from upper left of object. I got my canon camera and took still shots and 2 videos for 5 minutes. Object started below the trees and then went high. Would go farther than closer. Sighting ended as it seemed to spin and disintegrate. An hour or 2 later a chopper flew over and headed east to where we saw the object. There is a cell phone tower with a burned out red light. When that happens a white light blinks like a strobe light. We wondered if the UFO was attracted to the cell tower. I inquired at the sheriff’s office about any reports. They said no. I didn’t leave my name. Area is sparsely populated.

Very bright white light through leafless tree. Gained elevation and omitted blue light. Changed shape and direction. There is a cell phone tower with a blinking white light because the red light burned out. Thinking it was observing the cell tower.

White circular light moving in what seemed to be a fog on a clear night. It moved across the sky staying as a white circle for a few minutes. It appeared to stop, change shapes, get brighter, then a plume expelled from it. Before the plume happened you could see a perfect circle in the center, inside another circle. There is a moment before the plume that the white light reforms as a triangle inside the circle. Then it started to head away from us and became dimmer. [NUFORC annotation: Rocket - Possible]

It was like looking at the night sky but in the day time. From about 30 to 40 objects as if they were forming patterns in the sky. Then I took out my phone and filmed for about a minute and 15 seconds. Incredible.....

This morning at 7:55 AM I was walking my dog and looked up into the sky and saw the moon. I was standing on Spring Street at the corner of Fourth Street at that time. To the lower right of the moon there was an odd shaped flying object in the sky that was clearly visible and not a plane. It was whitish-silver in color, it had the appearance of a solid object that resembled a rounded edged double decker bus. At one point it briefly changed shape into a flatter version within a gray cloud of dust then returned to the rounded double decker bus shape and the gray cloud of dust disappeared as quickly as it appeared. The object flew in a northern direction for approximately 5 minutes as I walked along the street with my dog and then it disappeared from view when the bright sunlight struck the object as I reached the corner of Spring and E. Morehead Streets. When it was visible it was extremely high in the sky and there was no exhaust trail.

This is not a hoax!! I would never report something fake!!!! I was sitting in my SUV at 8:12 pm on Oct 29, 2023. I noticed this light in the sky and it was moving. It was circular and moving around. I thought oh its probably a satellite. So, I used my iphone 14 pro max and zoomed in 15x and took some rather unusual photo’s. Some were taken with flash off and some with it on. I noticed when the flash was on and I was snapping pics the object got closer to me. It looks like an Alien being born. Not sure about the mans face but, that was taken at one point aiming right at the object. I put a few pics on a UFO facebook group and people were making fun of them. I took them down. I did not alter these photos at all. I would take a lie detector test to prove it. I am baffled as to what this is and what this means. Any thoughts??? I actually got scared and ran inside the house. I watched and took pics from 8:12pm to 10:55pm.
