Culver City, CA

I initially thought this was a guy using a jet pack wearing an all white wing suit. The shape was like the Christ the Redeemer Statue. I observed it from the 405 freeway between the 90 and the 10. It appeared to be over Culver City, Cheviot Hills or maybe South Beverly Hills from my perspective. It was hovering and then moved slowly straight upwards. Someone else posted a sighting of this same object but a couple of hours earlier than me.

Los Angeles, CA

What looked like a stationary point of white in the sky seemed to disappear and re-appear from site. How ever it was so small in view it’s hard for our eyes to focus on it even just seeing it seconds before. Originally I thought a single object was moving to slightly different points in the sky. But the last time I saw an object it very much slowly drifted across the sky. By the last time seeing it/them I believe it was a sort of balloon at high altitude. And I feel now thinking about it that there were 3 separate ones that went by during my observation. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

Enterprise, NV

I began to take pictures and a video all the photos are gone? The video shows nothing. There was an aircraft floating motionless, it looked like a disc I guess but almost like a jet floating in the air. I pulled over on Russell ave heading towards Durago in Spring Valley Las Vegas. It was there so long I pulled over and started taking pictures. It like vanished, i dont know if it turned and moved away but it looked like it got smaller and vanished. I called the hotline 2 times and it sounded like someone hung up both times. Somebody had to of seen what I saw. Hopefully this helps, I’ll be honest Im not a ufo/alien guy. I mean in recent times of course things have been released but until now I kinda brushed it off. Im telling the truth I saw something really strange floating there. Also a southwest plane flew by relatively close to that area heading north. Maybe the pilot or plane radar picked up something. Im not lying about what I saw and Id take a polygraph test. It looked silver? I didnt see any lights. It almost looked as if it backed away and vanished. So weird. There is nothing in the video? I looked down to make sure It was there and it wasnt. The pictures were never saved in my phone? Im freaked out by the situation. Where did the pictures go? Sorry I didnt give more personal information Im just kinda weirded out by the entire situation but will 100% tell you what I saw.

Cambridge, OH

While out in the yard with the dog, I glanced up at the sky and notice a dark colored elongated teardrop shaped object speed through an opening in the clouds. It was moving at a high rate of speed, reentered the clouds and was gone in seconds. The object's flight paths was from West to East and south of my location. I didn't hear any sound coming from the object and there wasn't any contrails or noticeable means of propulsion. No flight surfaces where visible and the object appeared to be larger than normal air traffic common to the skies above my home. If I had to estimate, I would say it was about twice as long as an airliner. I was unable to take any photos or video due to the briefness of the sighting. But I did think to take a photo of the sky for reference of the object location and cloud formations present during the sighting (making sure to capture landmarks). I immediately went in the house and did a sketch of the object. It was flat black in color like a weathered car bumper. I will attach the location photo that I took for reference as well as the sketch I did.

Yakima, WA

I was driving eastbound on I-82 coming up the Umtanum mountains. It was 9:38pm. My 12 year old daughter was in the front seat not looking up. I frequently drive this route with her. A bright flash of light occurred in the distance behind the mountain and then a very bright white light began rising from behind the mountain [position through my windshield was at 11 o'clock to my left and started at about 45 degrees and rose to about 60 degrees]. The initial bright flash was so bright, it backlit the entire hill/mountain it occurred behind. In fact, I had thought at the time, was I seeing an explosion? {but there was no sound or blast waves}, was I seeing a flare? {but the object was very briefly illuminated, no longer than 5 seconds... so... lousy flare, maybe...}, was it lightning? {but the skies were totally clear}. ((( for example: imagine a large flash of lightning very momentarily illuminating the sky, but with zero sound, and nearly 1 second after, a bright white light object rising from it, hovering for 5 seconds while lit ))) Similarly, when someone walks upon you with a bright flashlight, I couldn't make out the shape of the object until 5 seconds after the initial flash - that is when the white light went out. Then I could very distantly see the vague shape of the object that had been this rising light. It was either shaped like a tear drop or shaped like a cigar - from that distance and that angle, that is what it looked like. Then it appeared to move away backwards and upward. At that time I continued in shock with my daughter (she never saw the initial flash or hovering light because she was looking down at the time). Then my daughter points in the same direction and says "what, what is THAT?" At that time, an object appeared to be nearing, with 3 steady non-flashing red lights affixed to different points on the craft. This craft was extremely close to the freeway and was operating parallel to I-82. It was so close above us... no more than 75 feet up. It was about 15-20 feet across. 3 red lights. No sound {I rolled down the window expecting to hear helicopter blades whirring or an engine sound of some type, but no, it was totally silent}. I vaguely felt like the object might be a helicopter, and as it passed very close above our heads, to me, it looked like it was shaped like a teardrop or a cigar. It was dimly lit by the steady red lights. My daughter got a better look. I was careful not to prompt her, and she drew the shape of the object with her finger describing it, similar to what I had thought I'd seen. As we passed by this large object, there was no way to turn around or to observe it. I was going 70mph and that road is scary, dark, twisted, and unforgiving. I noted we were very close to Burbank Creek bridge near mile post 17. Whatever this thing was, it was too close to the freeway to be considered a safe flying distance {pretty sure the FAA would've not allowed that}. It is important to note that the Army range is very close to that area, as well as some alleged NSA listening operations. However, if that was a military exercise, that was extremely dangerous doing that on a random Monday night so incredibly close to the freeway. The light was blinding and the whole event was shocking and distracting, and we could've been hurt by driving down that treacherous stretch of freeway while simultaneously being distracted. Interestingly enough, when I was about my daughter's age {also a pre-teen}, my own mother and I were out for a walk in Seattle and we also encountered a low flying silent craft. She and I also lost a little bit of time on that walk {my dad noticed it took longer than usual to get home from our walk though she and I didn't stop walking our normal pace, except to stop and look at the craft "briefly"}. That being said, I find it interesting this Umtanum ridge sighting was also only with my pre-teen daughter. Something about mothers and daughters, maybe?

Belen, NM

Brightest light I have ever seen at 7pm. Totally light out. Looked at it through binoculars and it was a tear drop shaped large object that appeared to be stationary. I was able to view object in my telescope and the object was teardrop shaped with an orange color. Over the next 1.5 to 2 hours the object slowly moved West. The object appeared to illuminate from within. I thought it may be some type of balloon, but this object was the opposite shape of commercial balloon and was way too high in the sky to be a commercial balloon. Unfortunately, I do not have a cell phone attachment for my telescope and the object was too far away for me to take video or pictures. If I had the cellphone attachment for my telescope the pictures would be amazing. I have never seen anything like this in my telescope or my life!

El Dorado Hills, CA

While driving on US-50 eastbound, right at the end of Folsom City and before the sign of El Dorado County line, saw a very bright/white descend very fast from my right to left. As it got closer to surface, light faded and it appeared to travel towards Folsom Lake or Auburn area

Irwin, PA

I was in my pool on a raft looking at the sky, large clouds that day. Wind was 5-7 mph from the west. I saw a black object about 150 ft from the ground, traveling east to west against the wind , approximately 100 mph in a straight line until it flew behind a large tree out of sight. It had the sun behind it so I couldn’t make out much detail on my side. It was the size of a large bird like an eagle and shape was like a wing of a plane looking from the side , very aerodynamic. It shot through the sky in a very straight line neither going up or down from its flight path. No sound at all. No lights. Nothing like a drone , no wings or propellers that I could make out.

Saw weird-looking light on a relatively clear night while walking back from the gym in late evening … took a photo … went back to see and it was gone.

I watched it zigzag like a bee headed north for a good 10 15 seconds then like a light switch the bright light just went off disappeared

Pensacola Beach, FL

Clear blue skies and windy day at gulf islands National trail in Pensacola Beach, 8-10 miles past the city, 2 miles past portifino hotel. Watching the clear skies and tops of trees, facing south easterly. Location near old abandoned fishery near the bay side of the trail. A large bright flash of light appeared. 7 miles away over the gulf waters from my location. The light was as bright as the sun, but the size of a coin in my hand with my arm extended. After the light, a teardrop shaped silver craft hovered for no more than 8 seconds and then flew straight up into space. Faster than any jet or craft I have seen. (Home of the Blue Angels.) There was no sounds, and a few minutes afterwords a military plane flew by and then commercial and private airplanes. This happened around 2:36PM to 3:15PM estimated time frame.

Brighton/ Fairfield, IA

3 travelers saw multiple sightings on these black snake like objects moving in the sky. They would appear to be falling down and then zoom to the left or right before heading back up in the sky. Shortly after we saw a plane of some kind chase it. A Lazer like light came out and an explosion ensued (fireball maybe?). A third party in Washington Iowa witnessed this as well. When we made it to fairfield it seemed like we were all missing time. It should have been light out Still. The time on the car went from 7:30 to 9:26. We were missing almost 2 hours of time. There were glowing orbs in the sky around 1030 and one seemed to have crashed at Water Works. We went to investigate but it felt off. We came home and still felt off. We heard something moving in the alley and I decides to snap a photo without flash (my camera did something weird that I've never seen before.). In the photo there appears to be a humanoid shape. We went to investigate and there was nobody there, or animal.

Imperial, CA

I was on a Delta flight 652 on 3/12/23 and we were about 20 minutes before landing in LAX. At 7:21 pm, I took 3 consecutive photos of the horizon with my iPhone. I noticed the 3 blue lights in the photos the following day. The location on my iPhone showed “Imperial”.

Lincoln, NE

My boyfriend and I saw 3 tear-shaped lights... we had stayed up late watching movies. As we went to smoke a cigarette, he looked at the sky horrified and ran up the street, I followed him trying to catch up to ask what was wrong, there was a massive orb very opaque, and as soon as I saw it too it vanished. we started to question if we should've seen this or not and got paranoid. he looked up again the same time I did to our fantasy and horror there were 2 tear-like lights, one looked as if it was above the other but at a great distance. we saw them zip through the clouds but never saw them come out.

Over the alps (may have been Italy), PROVENCE · France

1 object which was of black colour and teardrop shape flying low and very fast over the top of the alps. I was above it in a plane which departed from Dublin at about 13:45 going to Rome on the plane company Ryan air. The craft appeared to be small about the size of a fighter jet completely travelling very fast as it covered a huge distance in 10-20 seconds. The object had a beam grey smoked coming from the bottom of it into the ground below. This was not making a mark on the mountains though.

Driving on the freeway while both witnesses faced forwards. A large teardrop shaped object flew overhead. The object was either all black or didn’t reflect light. It had some kind of texture or rough surface. The object has no lights. It didn’t emit any sound or resonance as it flew over the vehicle, about 20-30 feet over head. The object flew over the vehicle from the front to the rear as it traveled overhead going in the opposite direction of traffic. The front was rounded and Estimated to be 4 ft across and tapered like a teardrop

EDITED- this is my second report, I just realized I completely did not check off the authorization box on my last report. I will resubmit it with authorization if you think that is necessary [NUFORC annotation: Contrail - Probable]

Miami, FL

A bright green light caught my attention one early morning. But still dark out. First I thought it was a shooting star. Then realized that shooting stars don't remain still, then shoots up and disappear into thin air. It all happened within a few seconds. But I honestly thought, who would ever believe a black dude from the hood. After reading everyone's else's possible sight seeing stories. I thought that I should also share mine as well. I personally know that it's no way possible that we're the only one's here in such a enormous solar system. Their's just too many other planets and too much space out there.

Las Vegas, NV

Last week, I had just picked up my wife, Rowena, at work. We were in the northern area of the Spring Valley district of Las Vegas. It was shortly after 10:00pm and the weather was clear. Suddenly, our attention was drawn to a glowing green tear drop shaped object flying over us slightly to our right. It was traveling north to south. Seemed to be at a low altitude (at about the same time, I spotted a north bound airliner at a much higher altitude) and the object was moving very fast. Much too fast to be any normal aircraft. I estimate it was moving at rocket speed. But was silent. Hard to judge size. Maybe 20 or 30 feet long. Wow! It was real and not a little scary. It was brightly illuminated, jade green and glowing brightly. Nothing stealthy about it.
