One craft broke into two objects and flew into different directions

I was sound asleep, probably about nine in the morning and was awakened by a very loud crash noise. I live near a fighter jet training Air Force base so I am used to loud planes flying over quite often - sometimes very low. This noise was much louder!! Honestly, it sounded like a crash. I jumped out of bed and ran to the window and saw what looked like a missile flying by. It was bullet shaped, metallic looking silver gray, and moving quite slow at a very slight decline. It was flying at about my eye level from the house and then disappeared into the trees. I waited to report this because I thought people would think that I am crazy. I have never seen anything like this before in my entire life. I hope this information is helpful.

I was seated in seat 4A window seat on Allegiant Flight 3145, an Airbus 320 aircraft, that was at 34,000 feet cruise altitude at 450 knots (as related by the piloting air crew). As I glanced out the window I witnessed an oblong, cylindrical wingless object at an estimated 15-20 thousand foot altitude. This object was on a course parallel to Flight 3145 but on a 180-degree trajectory. Allegiant Flight 3145 was out of Austin-Bergstrum International Airport, Texas, with a destination of McGhee-Tyson Airport, Knoxville, Tennessee. The object was visible for an estimated ten seconds off the port side, below and disappeared aft. At the completion of my flight I spoke to one of the pilots after I identified myself with identification and asked if they had had a radar contact at this estimated altitude at 08:58 CDT during our flight. This pilot stated that the flight crew had not had a radar contact at that time. I asked if this observation was reportedable to the FAA and he stated that it was. A check of the FAA website referred me to your site after a second search. The object was completely white, cylindrical without lights and without wings. Estinated size was comparable to an airliner. Weather was scattered clouds and the object was above cloud level. My professional background is that as a paramedic with thirty-four years experience as both paid and volunteer.

Seattle, WA

On my way home on the Edmunds to Kingston ferry. I had seen a large part of orca on my way there, so I got out of my car with my phone ready to take photos. There were three lights in a triangular patent at a moderate altitude off the coast of SeaTac airport and Boeing Field. The brightest of the lights had a fluid movement in a vertical Position, the light was very bright. The objects at times seemed physical when they were at their brightest, and then more oblique as they dimmed. Spontaneously they disappear. I have timestamp on all my photos and it will show you that they were there one moment and then gone.

Grand rapids, MI

I happened to be looking up to the South and in between the clouds I could see a white cylinder standing on its edge floating West above the clouds about the speed of a jet plane. The wind is about 15 to 25 miles an hour and it was going against the wind. I watched it for approximately 20 seconds before a cloud passed underneath it and it and obscured my view.

Parker, CO

I was sitting on my patio when I saw a plane fly by then I heard a very loud sound that sounded electronic. Then I saw a massive far away orange thing that looked similar to an airplane, but it had a giant sphere in the middle and I think it looked like it had the head of a bird but near the end I almost remember it not having that. That part is something I barely remember which is weird, this happened yesterday. It was way too big to be an airplane and it was going in tight circles somewhat fast. Too fast and tight for an airplane for sure. Then it vanished right before my eyes. I looked for it for a little bit longer and found it again lower to the ground but still high up. It was like the wind did not affect it at all. This is when my vision got a little fuzzier. Like on a 1980's camera but it was my eyes. So it was getting harder to see it. I pulled out my phone to record it. I couldn't find it I turned off my phone to .look again and it was gone. This time I didn't see it again

International Waters

Looking to the east from our ships balcony. Object appeared north of us as bright "fireworks". Flew in and out of clouds gaining on the ship. When it was right in front of us, the colors faded and a grey metallic cylinder appeared. Nose of it was shaking from the friction of its entry into the atmosphere with white "trailings" coming from it.. It passed us flying behind a cloud and that's it. No splashdown, no noise ... we never saw it again. Probably 100's of miles from us, yet to us it was the size of a planes fuselage as they land a block from us where we live right by an airport, sans the wings and deafening noise of a jets engine . We thought we were getting attacked and neither of us thought of actually getting a video of it. I've contacted a government agency that deals with rockets and they told me to let you know.. Description of circumstance? Star lit sky with intermittent clouds. 2 sober and straight old ( 55 and 66) ladies enjoying looking east from our balcony on a cruise ship. Light from our room was on, so it was not hard to see the water, thousands of stars and partial moon every now and then. Whole encounter took no more than 2 mins.picture is the sky in front of us. Hand drawn slop tries to explain object. So sorry !!!!

Hueytown, AL

The first night I only noticed one oblong shape hovering. The second night I was more aware and the sky was full of movement along with many in different shapes ( triangular, oblong, circle, sphere) hovering. I even seen beams of light scan around the said UFO's. I noticed something falling from the sky on several accounts As I was sitting out watching the sky I heard tin crashing in a neighbors yard. When I looked in that direction I seen something that seemed to be crawling and the eyes were like lights. Then I heard dogs barking in another neighbors direction when I seen the same lighted eyes except this time it was walking with a slump. I will be watching tonight but I have no camera to take pictures or video. I do apologize, I wish I did.

Old town, FL

An object travels in a straight line at a very high speed, not like an animal flying. I can only relate my impression to a bullet but I didn’t hear anyone shooting. The object came out of the woods of my backyard and traveled straight towards the front yard passing between the house and the shed at a height of 6-8 ft. I took the image on my iPhone from my tv screen and recorded it in real time and slow play. The object appears to be opaque and leaves a trace image of its trail. I’m guessing it traveled 50 feet in one second? I don’t know why the camera triggered and then happened to catch the image. The next camera in the direction it headed was not triggered to record but did capture the image of that area about 10 seconds before the moment that was recorded. The night before there was a light in the area that the object came from. [NUFORC annotation: Bird - Possible]

A few miles north of Osawatomie, KS

The object was hovering in the sky completely stationary. I noticed it out of the car window. I'm not sure how far away it was. It was a clear sunny day and just caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye. Zoom in to the right side of uploaded pictures to see object.

Red Bluff, CA

It was early morning and very dark. The light in the sky was first observed as it moved from the western sky and was moving east. It looked like it could be a plane as it was about the right height. It looked like it could be a star as it was a single light. It glowed the same color as a star would. There were no additional lights associated with the object. The object moved faster than the planes we typically see pass overhead and it moved in a zig zag pattern as well as moving in a straight path from west to east. The zig zag movement did not appear to be overly broad as it deviated from a straight line of flight, but the motion was noticeable enough to attract our attention. The zig zags did not appear to be a part of a standard pattern. The object flew in a straight line for a matter of seconds, would zig right, zig left, return to original flight path heading east...a second or so later the object would again move in a random pattern left and right and then return to the original flight path. It continued flying east until it flew out of sight.

Payson, UT

Driving south on I-15, I saw a smooth, Tic-tac shaped object about the size of a helicopter. This object had no propellers, wings, engines, tethers, or any other identifiable features. It was smooth white with two flat spots on the bottom at each end. It hovered in place, unmoving just about 100 feet above the nearest foothill peak. It did not move the entire time it was within my sight.

Ambridge, PA

It was just a line that was very high up it moved north to south over the sky. It wasn't a shooting star with a fast flash point and trail. It moved I don't want to say slowly but at an even pace. There were no lights or sound. It stayed the same color the whole time moved in a straight line. It wasn't a satellite, I know what those look like. There were numerous satellites in the sky around that time but this was a straight line not a dot like the satellites. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

Pulled off at flying j to point it out to my buddy, get out in the parkinglot and pointed at it.. my buddy see’s it too and then it started to move about 60 seconds later like it knew we saw it. From standing still to moving at a fair pace across the sky instantly, no chem trail and not sure about sound bc the truck is loud idling

Youngstown, OH

I watched ufo for 4-5 minutes. When I got to Youngstown, exit 223, the ufo was on my left. I had to look out and up of my driver's side window. The ufo seemed about the size of a car or big propane cylinder. I did not see any propellers, wings, tail, or jet engines. It did not look like any type of balloon. UFO was light in color, maybe white or silver. The UFO never moved the whole time I watched it.

Alachua, FL

I saw all white tic tac shaped object moving across sky in blue sky. It was traveling faster than I’d expect N airplane to then it appeared to quickly slow speed. Trees got in way of view and after few seconds didn’t see it anymore. There were no wings to object. I was able to take video just at very end of seeing it. I have the video but I’m not sure how to upload here. I also took screenshots from the video.

West Lake Hills, TX

I thought I saw headlights reflected in my window, but they kept getting closer and closer. Then, I saw the lights shine on my window with blinds, and the light was so bright white it was almost blinding. All of the sudden, this yellow drone looking object with a 3D base of a cylinder with a dome on top comes racing towards me. I could see the shadows reflected on my wall, and I closed my eyes because the light was too bright, and when I opened them it was gone. Maybe it disappeared or flew up? I did hear a faint humming noise. Not sure if the lights on the ring were connected to the base. It seemed to me like it could be something domestic, but it was too big and technologically advanced to be someone’s personal drone. There are not images of anything like it online. It was also the fastest drone I’ve ever seen.

Wesley Chapel, FL

I was going into five guys burger joint while I was driving. I saw what looked like a flat long cylinder object moving at a slow rate of speed and was glowing an orange. Altitude was probably between 12,000 and 16,000 feet. Came back out it was gone, checked both flightradar24 and ADSB exchange and there were planes in the area but not that matched the flightpath of this object and were some distance away I felt as if honestly when I was looking at it that it was observing everything in the area.

Probable conventional

Hendrix, OK

String of white cylinder lights, very bright, white, non-blinking, traveling in a straight line, airline, traveling from west to east. No noise noted with the objects. The speed of the object appeared significantly slower than satellites, and appeared much larger than we normally see satellites, and seem to lower in atmosphere, they disappeared once they reach further east closer to headed toward the Milky Way and then Bella disability was completely lost in seconds [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

Millersburg, MI

Observed the object overhead. I was facing the northeast. The object appeared at about the 2 o'clock position and moved to my 12 o'clock position before disappearing behind a tree. The object was about the size of an aspirin on edge. There was no sound.... No wings and no apparent exhaust plume. The sky was clear deep blue with some wispy white clouds. I am a trained weather spotter.
