Bright sphere flew over us and stayed there for 20 minutes

A very bright orange sphere flew from the horizon (east) right next to the evening star. At first we thought it was the ISS but when it suddenly just stopped moving, we also stopped and watched the sphere. It was extremely high. Light clouds passed beneath it and yet it remained visible. The evening star, however, was not bright enough to shine through the clouds. We know that it is an approach zone of the nearby airport and are therefore well acquainted with aircraft in the area. It didn't have any flashing lights or anything like that. It glowed a solid orange. Several airplanes flew past Cologne Bonn in the sky during this time. At some point thicker clouds came along and we could no longer observe it. From the approach of the sphere on the horizon to the gathering of the dense clouds, about 20 minutes passed.

Estimated Speed: 150-200km
Explanation: Drone - Possible
Characteristics: Lights on object

I saw 3 "drones“ with red lights on them as big as an SUV traveling south east in quite fast speed and low altitude

Looking south, I saw 3 SUV-sized drones traveling in one row in a south-easterly direction. They disappeared quite quickly over the hill so I couldn’t get a video or photo. What was extraordinary: they travelled at super low altitude (lower then the red blinking lights of the wind turbines), they made no sound (at least none that I could hear) and they had super bright red lights on them (no green or white/yellow lights visible). If I could guess they were heading to or coming from Geschwader Boelke in Nörvenich.

Grey, round UFO without moving in Krefeld, Germany

At 16:13 I observed this object in the sky. Round, gray shape, it seemed to be made of a metallic material because it reflected the sun. It was completely still, not moving. I took out my phone to take photos and video. And I waited about 5 minutes, but nothing happened. Then I went to a nearby store, and when I returned to the same place, 16:35, it was gone. There were quite a few planes flying over the sky, but I'm sure it wasn't a plane or a helicopter, or any type of aerial vehicle. The only thing I can think of is that it was a hot air balloon, but I'm not sure... I would love to solve this mystery!

Occurred: 2024-08-13 22:40 Local
Reported: 2024-08-18 13:32 Pacific
Duration: 20 minutes
No of observers: 2 - Pilot

Location: Wuppertal, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Location details: North Klondike Highway, Flat Creek region. 63° 56' 49.61'' N, 138° 38' 40.59'' W

Shape: Fireball
Color: yellow-orange flames
Estimated Size: Unable to estimate
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: Initially directly in front of us, at about 55 degrees from the ground.
Angle of Elevation: 55
Closest Distance: Unable to estimate.
Estimated Speed: Slower than a commercial jet moving across the sky
Explanation: Contrail - Probable


Initially we thought this was a meteor but it moved slowly across the sky.

Initially all we saw was a puff of smoke about the size of the moon directly above and in-front of us along the highway. At the bottom of the puff was an intensely bright white dot. At first it was about the size of the moon and by the time we got the truck stopped and I could dig out my camera it had dipped behind the clouds. My husband had a small spotting scope and we could see flames coming from 3 or 4 portions. I photographed it as it moved across the sky. As it moved more laterally away from the highway you can see on the photos that there is a black flat portion of the object sticking out front of the flames. We watched it for probably 20 minutes, possibly longer as we continued to drive along the highway and could see it for quite a while. I captured 5 minutes of still frames of its movement across the sky while I could focus on it with the camera.

I have never seen a meteor fall so slowly and gradually (we did not see it hit the ground) or be able to watch one for this extended period of time. We live in the bush and have no lights in our yard - we see meteors all the time but they are always only split seconds in duration. This time we had enough time to pullover, stop the truck, dug out the camera and spotting scope, watch and photograph it for over 5 minutes, then drive on and continue to watch it for several minutes after this. I have 20 pictures of it (the photos attached here ~5 minutes apart).

Formation Gyro axis like steered in Formation

Looks like something from the moon Titan. Has gyro axis alike moves with light bending around in circular motion in Saturn ring form and a little unsteady moving around in formation. Something weird I heard people saw others with cat like eyes, which I don't believe. But the aircraft I saw. I try to record this, I swear I find things like this. In another city they were at night circling a skyscraper in Bonn, like analysing or gathering information slowly in Bonn near UN building like 10 meters before around.

At first glance, a plane-like object with stationary behavior, unlit.


Viewed from a garden lounger facing north at an altitude of approximately 11-12 km, blurred in the sunny, cloudless sky. From the ground, it appeared to be about 60 cm long, with a "wing" span of around 35 cm. The triangular wings, flattened on the sides, were positioned in the rear quarter of the otherwise long, cylindrical or barrel-like body. It appeared overall as a dark, blurred shadow in the sky, but sunlight refracted at the tip, making the cylindrical or barrel-like shape visible. The object had an inclination of about 45 degrees, so it looked to me as though I was directly underneath. It was oriented towards the south-southwest, with a slight forward downward tilt. At that time of day, the sun was positioned in the south-southwest. Roughly estimated, it was located over northern Bottrop, where some small airfields are situated. The object remained silent, unlit, and stationary in the sky for about 20 minutes of observation time.

Original report in German:

Auf den ersten Blick flugzeugartiges Objekt, stationäres Verhalten, unbeleuchtet.

Vom Gartenliegestuhl in Richtung Norden sehend in ca. 11 - 12 km Höhe, verwaschen im sonnigen wolkenfreien Himmel.
Länge vom Boden aus ca. 60 cm, "Flügel"spannbreite ca. 35 cm. Die dreickigen, an den Seiten abgeflachten "Flügel" befanden sich im hinteren Viertel des ansonsten langen rohr- bzw. Tonnenförmigen Körpers. Insgesamt als schwarzer verwaschener Schatten am Himmel wahrnehmbar, jedoch brach sich an der Spitze das Sonnenlicht, wodurch die tonnen-oder rohrartige Form erkennbar war. Das Objekt hatte eine Schrägseitenlage von ca. 45 Grad, so dass es für mich aussah, als wäre ich direkt darunter. Es war in Richtung Süd-West-West, nach vorne leicht nach unten geneigt ausgerichtet. Die Sonne stand um diese Uhrzeit in Süd-Süd-West. Es befand sich grob schätzt über dem Norden von Bottrop, wo sich einige kleinere Flugplätze befinden. Das Objekt stand bei einer Beobachtungszeit von ca. 20 Minuten lautlos, unbeleuchtet und fest am Himmel.

A huge tube right in the sky in front of my nose.

I was pulling weeds with my children when one of the boys said, "Daddy, what's that?" He looked up at the sky. I looked up briefly and only noticed a distant airplane. I looked back down and he said, "I don't mean that." He pointed in a direction in the sky. There was a gigantic black tube. The surface appeared as if plates of various sizes were attached to each other/stacked on top of each other. It was rotating very slowly. I have never seen anything like it. It was sunny and no clouds were visible. It's hard to determine the height, but it felt like it was very, very high up, just "floating" there. I wanted to quickly go inside to get my cell phone. When I came back out, I couldn't see it anymore. I asked my son if he could still see it. He pointed in the direction so that I could barely make it out. When I wanted to point my cell phone in that direction, it was no longer to be found.

Original report in German:

Eine riesige Röhre direkt im Himmel vor meiner Nase.

Ich zog Unkraut mit meinen Kindern ,als einer der Jungs sagte:„Pappa was ist das?" Er blickte in den Himmel. Ich sag kurz auf und mir fiel nur ein Flugzeug weit entfernt auf. Ich blickte wieder hinab und er sagte :„ Das meine ich nicht." Er zeigte in eine Richtung am Himmel. Es war eine gigantische schwarze Röhre. Die Oberfläche sah aus als wären Platten verschiedener Größen aneinander/übereinander miteinander befestigt . Sie drehte sich ganz langsam. Ich habe noch nie etwas vergleichbares gesehen. Es war sonnig und keine Wolken zu sehen. Die Höhe lässt sich schwer bestimmen , aber ich hatte das Gefühl das sie sehr,sehr hoch einfach dort "schwebte". Ich wollte schnell hineingehen um mein Handy zu holen. Als ich wieder rauskam konnte ich es nicht mehr sehen. Ich fragte meinen Sohn ob er es noch sehen könnte . Er zeigte mit dem Finger in die Richtung so das ich es fast kaum noch sehen konnte . Als ich das Handy in die Richtung zeigen wollte war es nicht mehr wiederzufinden.

Classic flying saucer with extreme acceleration

I was about 5-7 years old at the time and was traveling in the car with my parents. My father was driving the car, my mother was sitting in the passenger seat and I was sitting behind. I looked out the window bored. I was small and looked slightly up from my seat over the trees at the side of the road. Suddenly a classic flying saucer shot into my field of vision. (First it was behind us and then at the same level) It was very close. I estimate 100 meters. The UFO itself was about 15 meters wide. It was like chrome, extremely shiny and very smooth. Years later I saw Bob Lazar's description of the "sport model" and that's exactly what it was. An orange shimmer, like that on asphalt in hot weather, was around the UFO. It flew at a 45 degree angle, belly first. It just stopped in mid-flight. It stood motionless for about 3 seconds and then shot straight up into the sky and disappeared. The acceleration was the most unreal thing. It was like shining a laser pointer at a wall and then quickly moving it away. You can hardly see the dot but you know in which direction it moved. I stammered to my parents that I had seen something strange and my mother turned around to look at me, her eyes wide open, and said straight away that she had seen it too.

Nightime saw 4 disk shaped lights, 1 light moved slowly then dissappeared. 3 lights remained

I was going home from sports practice, I was 13 years old, I was at the American High School in Plittersdorf. I lived at Kolombusring. It was dark there was nobody else in the area I crossed the green sports field (heading west from the Rhine) and when I came to the street (Martin Luther King Strasse) I noticed that it looked brighter than usual. I looked up and saw 4 bright disks in a square formation above the sports field. I did not know what it was, I stopped and looked for a few minutes. The lights were stationary, I thought it strange, because they were not attached to anything. After about 3 minutes, one, the lower left disk moved away, in a northern direction slowly at first and then just disappeared, the other three remained stationary. I got scared and fast walked away home, about a 7minute walk. I told no-one but I never forgot. The light disks were bright pale yellow, and were about 1.5 cm to the eye. The area I lived in, in 1969 was a secure diplomatic area. US Embassy Staff lived in the area as well as US military personnel (of high rank; Lt. Col. and above) attached to NATO. The Commander of US Army V Corps lived nearby. Also diplomats from Embassies friendly to the US lived in the area.
