Bright orb like UAP flying towards earth, leveling out and changing course

While looking at the western sky last night (Tue, 5/27/25) I observed a bright yellow orb like UAP flying towards the east at a low altitude and seemingly from nowhere.

Once orb was at a lower altitude a plane approached with red and white lights…the orb stopped, dimmed in brightness, changed course west, and shot back up into the sky while dimming in brightness causing me to lose sight of it.

Afterwards, I observed multiple dimmer orbs coming from all directions and moving in all directions. There was also a heavier than normal aircraft presence, all with the same red and white lights and mostly heading north. Additionally, 3 military helicopters flew over UF, the next day (today, 5/28/25), I have never seen or heard them on campus prior to today.

I do not feel like this was any type of space debris, satellite, or meteor due to the fact I observed these orbs shooting up into the sky, coming down super low leveling out, and moving N/S/E/W.

Multiple crafts, flying oddly

One craft flew from west to east — it flew mostly straight, then started making odd maneuvers that I can’t imagine a military plane would need to make. Another had flashing multicolored lights, but we also saw/heard a plane overhead and compared to a passenger plane what we were seeing was completely different. That one flew mostly straight. Multiple odd lights that almost flashed — we’d see it move, then it would disappear the reappear.

Kept seeing smooth, bright orbs moving like bugs in erratic patterns. They were bright but would dim smoothly after a while

I don’t know where I was in terms of North, south etc but I do know the star Arcturus was directly above and to the right of me because I was using the sky view app trying to see if the lights I saw were some sort of celestial body- they were not.

Number of objects: [5-6]
• Color: Some white, some blue
• Shape: No visible shape, just lights
• Light behavior: Smoothly faded in and out—not blinking, not strobing
• Brightness: Bright at first, then dimmed until invisible
• Movement: Erratic and unusual. Some moved fast, others floated slowly. Movement was more like how a bug zips around, not like planes or birds. Some moved in circular patterns or strange directions.
• Altitude: Much higher than any visible planes
• Sound: Completely silent
• Duration: Observed for about 30 mins


NUFORC Note:

The ISS became visible at 9:45, which would explain the video if the time is off a little.

Explanation: Balloon - Possible


Two dark objects linked by a cable or rope, each about 2-3x size of large trash can, moving North about 30kts, near STS airport

I live in Windsor, CA about 1 mile NE of Sonoma County Airport (STS). At 8:35pm local time on 5/26/2025 I was in my back yard with a clear view to the West, and noticed a set of two unusual small dark objects in the sky a short distance to the West that appeared to be linked together moving through the sky from South to North, about 1 mile North of main runway threshold, at around 1,000ft elevation. This is in the same area that is the typical takeoff flight path for the STS airport. Each object was roughly oblong or rectangular in shape and similar in size to the other, each about 2-3x the size of a large trash can. They were moving too fast to be unpowered balloon(s), probably 30kts +/- or more, and roughly maintaining altitude.

The objects were out of view in about 30 seconds after initial sighting. I was able to get photos with my phone at highest magnification, no time to get a larger camera or binoculars. There was no engine sound heard. The objects were moving together in a fashion that suggested perhaps the lower object was hanging or swinging from the upper one.

An orange light ball going up into the sky

I was walking through the parking lot when I just so happened to look up. I saw an orange ball slowly go up into the sky. As it got towards cloud level, the light got dimmer. It went higher up then went white. It then started blinking red and white lights like airplanes do. I don’t think it is an airplane though.

It seemed to be a white aircraft carrying a sign or a flag

On Monday, May 26th, 2025, at approximately 11:37 AM, while driving eastbound over the Walt Whitman Bridge from Gloucester City toward Philadelphia, I observed an unusual aerial sight. There appeared to be a white aircraft flying at a relatively high altitude, and directly beneath it was a dark, rectangular object that resembled a flag or a banner.

At first, it seemed like the aircraft might be towing the object, but the altitude was unusually high for a typical banner-towing operation—too far from any visible crowds or events on the ground to serve a practical display purpose.

After conducting independent research, I was unable to find any scheduled flyovers, commemorative flights, or aerial advertising events in the area for that date and time, despite it being Memorial Day. The rectangular object remained in close proximity to the aircraft during the time it was visible but did not exhibit typical banner flutter or motion—it seemed more rigid and geometric than expected.

The sighting occurred under clear daylight conditions with good visibility, and I managed to capture a short video showing the aircraft and the object. I'm reporting this in case it correlates with other sightings in the area or is of interest to your investigation.

we were just visiting cali for context but when we reached for our phones to record it all our phones shut down. Even our smartwatches and Bluetooth earbuds lost connection. It was like everything electronic just died at once, The only sensation was a subtle vibrational hum not audible, but felt internally, almost like a low-frequency pressure in the chest and ears.

I look at that same night sky every single night and I have NEVER seen anything like this. These are not normal blinking red lights like airplane traffic. dozens of lights blinking not in synch in the same area almost like a traingle. It looks like a very very dim outline of a long oval horizontal along the sky. It was in front of the mountains. I know with certainty that those lights were air traffic or construction.

I was sitting inside the rv watching the stars from my bed, than this orange balls appears I go to the front wake up my friend I filmin

I was lying in bed inside my RV, looking out the window at the stars. We were parked deep in Valley of the Gods, completely off-grid—no surrounding lights, no towns nearby, just wide open sky. Suddenly, I noticed a large, glowing orange orb slowly gliding across the sky. It had a clear round shape and seemed to spin as it moved, emitting a strange radiance unlike anything I’ve seen before.

Startled, I jumped up and ran to the front of the RV to wake my friend. We both stepped outside, and I began filming the object. The sky was perfectly clear—no clouds, no planes. As we watched, the orb continued spinning and drifting, until it vanished abruptly into the open blue sky without a trace.

Later, when I reviewed the footage, I slowed it down and zoomed in. What I captured is even more bizarre: the object appears to rotate through multiple colors, and in one frame, a distinct green hue appears with what looks like a capital “P” inside it. The effect is visible only in slow motion, as if something was encoded or imprinted during its rotation.

Egg shape, bright light, too close to be a planet

At a wedding reception outside, around 20 minutes after sunset, looked up to the northwest and saw an incredibly bright, egg shaped light. Too bright to be a star so I thought it could be a planet. Venus was over on the horizon and it was not in the right position for Jupiter according to Star Gazer. As I kept looking I noticed the shape was not round like a planet is. I also noted the this was way too close to be a planet. I was at a table with seven other people and pointed it out to them as well. All agreed it was not a planet and the shape was odd. The light did not move in the 10-15 minutes I watched it. Unsure the duration of the light as wedding festivities redirected my attention. The next day (May 26th) I was discussing this with other guests from the reception and they observed it as well. I also got a report from a friend 27 miles away to the northeast that he had seen the same light in the sky. He had binoculars and reported the light was two toned. He called 911 who instructed him to submit a report here as well.

Circular white object stationary overhead

Was painting exterior and looked up to see white circular object overhead and stationary. Sky clear with no clouds/stars or planets. Obtained my Celestron Skymaster binoculars(15x70) and it appeared circular,stationary and had two areas on inside edge reminiscent of rocket launch type effect but different. Slowly receded upward over 15 minutes. Attempted picture with iPhone but did not appear on phone despite several scans of area.

Crash Landing UAP nearly hits Columbia river before flashing and disappearing

I was driving west bound on I84 around 4:30am, by this time it was already pretty light outside.

Suddenly and centered in my line of vision was what appeared to be a comet or aircraft rushing directly towards the Columbia river about to crash. It was not glowing as if on fire from breaking through the atmosphere or smoking as if a small aircraft was malfunctioning. It was as if a contrail was heading straight for land with no aircraft leading the way.

I began to panic because this falling object was moving very fast and close enough to affect me if causing an aftershock upon arrival. When suddenly the contrail cleared, there was a UAP heading straight for the river. The aircraft looked like a combination of a small military jet and an arrowhead spear, without any divots or bulges. The oddest part about its appearance was that it was glowing bright green and purple in its entirety.

As it rapidly approached the river (maybe about 40ft above water) the UAP flashed and disappeared with a short and quiet boom.

The unit appeared out of nowhere in the middle of my windshield and then disappeared in a flash before hitting the water. This all happened within about 30 seconds.

High altitude spark! dimly -flashed!- twice before disintegrating...

Early early morning on a mostly clear sky and outside for a fresh air break and while standing, facing in an easterly direction I (for whatever reason) whip my head to my left (looking north now) and at an altitude of say 25,000ft. or above, a familiar item is sailing on from the west to the east - a spark!, and as it scoots along its trajectory it intensified its illuminosity twice before disintegrating, literally crumbled apart in sky.... pretty regular display IMO of the high altitude UAP's that come and go with much regularity. No matter of personal location.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

Something appeared beside a small jet plane. Thought it was a spark from one of the engines until it started maneuvering.

Around 2:00 am, I stepped out on the front porch to have a cigarrette. I saw a light travelling westerly from the north, then heard jet engines that seemed smaller than the usual commercial jets that have flight paths near our home. I like watching planes, so I watched as the plane proceeded with its lights on towards our home for about 10 - 15 seconds.

Something then suddenly appeared beside this plane that I'd never seen before. At first it was red-orange in color, and from my viewpoint, it seemed to pop up from near one of the engines, starboard side. Like a spark from a bonfire. My first thought was that the plane may have had a bird strike one of its engines, or it was experiencing mechanical problems. But this single "spark" seemed to stay travelling with this plane, flitting from starboard to port, nose to tail. It was very quick and aggressive, similar to an angry wasp. I would estimate the time it stayed with the plane was around 20 seconds. The color of this "spark" also seemed to pulse orange & red. No other lights were observed.

The plane proceeded to turn southerly, and the "spark" just disappeared. I stayed outside on the porch until I heard the sound of the engines drift away to the south. The engines seemed to be operating normally during this entire sighting, which lasted ~45 seconds to 1 minute. I went inside and looked up the flight path on our desktop computer, and watched the map anxiously until it touched down safely at Boeing Airfield.

Object that resembled a satellite began behaving strangley.

We began watching what we believed to be a satellite moving across the sky. The object was silver/white and appeared at an extremely high altitude. We began to notice that the object seemed to slow as it moved almost directly overhead. The object then came to a complete stop and flared to a more orange/red color. The object then began moving in the opposite direction and made an arc until it was moving at almost ninety degrees of it's previous direction. It then came to another stop and dimmed to it's original silver/white. It then moved very rapidly in it's original direction until it was lost from our field of view. We attempted to explain what we had seen (moving clouds giving the illusion of movement, meteorite entering at a strange angle, etc.) but nothing seemed to quite fit for a reasonable explanation.

Ball of light moving very fast and silent

The ball of light was silent and moving fast there were no blinking lights and no noise. I was taking my dog out for a final bathroom break and looking at the clouds thinking how pretty they were tonight when I saw it moving through the sky. It happened so fast that it was gone in less than a minute.

I recorded on my iPhone a strange moving light in the night sky that changed colors and shot a beam of strong light out.

I noticed a strange and silent round light moving from the west of me to the southeast direction. The object was pulsating different colors and at times showed a dotting of small lights around its circumference. The object sent out a bright beam of light for about ten seconds and then went back to its rhythm of colorful pulsating lights. The object was definitely not a plane, or a drone. The object traveled for many miles in my sight. I have a video of this occurrence.

Low-altitude, slow-moving aircraft appeared to change form and defy conventional flight behavior

After leaving a wedding in Kittery, ME, my partner and I mistakenly got on I-95 North, exited, and looped back south on Route 1. Around 8:30 PM, while driving southeast on Lang Road in Rye, NH, we noticed a bright white light facing us in the sky, resembling an airplane. As we approached a stop sign at Central Road, we observed that the light was stationary and extremely bright. While stopped at the stop sign, we we could make out the silouette of wings and blinking red and/or green lights, confirming that it was not just a large light, but possibly a huge drone or commercial plane that was flying straight toward us and just looked to be stationary.

I exclaimed that the plane looked suspicious and my partner agreed it was weird. I jokingly said, "ask it to follow us so we can be sure."

After turning right onto Central Road, the object appeared to “follow” us, maintaining position to our left behind the trees. When we reached a clearing, we both clearly saw what looked like a hovering helicopter. Then it changed—without much movement—into what appeared to be a large commercial jet, traveling slowly (~20mph) just 75–100 feet above the ground.

The most striking part: the object appeared to be heading east or southeast—then, without turning, it reversed direction and began moving north or northwest, directly alongside us.

I stopped the car in the middle of the road (no other traffic), turned off the music, and rolled down the window. It made a jet-like sound, but not as loud or turbulent as expected for its size and altitude. We resumed driving when I noticed headlights behind us, and the craft gradually accelerated northward, away from the road.

Additional Notes:
• Despite it being after sunset, both of us recall the field and object as being “bright” or “daylit” during the sighting.
• We discussed the object aloud the entire time and felt like our thoughts may have influenced how the object appeared.
• We believe the object changed form (helicopter → plane) or at least how we perceived it.
• The reversal of direction without turning was especially surreal.
• No photos or video were taken due to the surreal and unfolding nature of the event.

We are submitting this to document what we saw in case it helps correlate with other sightings. We’re both grounded people and simply cannot explain what we experienced.

White teardrop shaped craft about 35/40k feet in altitude. Hovered in place then instantaneously darted up and westward

My wife and I were tending to our horses. We are surrounded by open farm field for miles. It was a bright sunny day with clear sky’s. I looked up past one of the horses (looking south) and saw what looked to be a perfectly white balloon. Within a few seconds my eyes adjusted and realized it was much too high (estimated around 40k ft) to be a party balloon or something similar. We watched as it came towards us (losing some altitude to around 25k ft while heading NE) and hovered in the air for 5 to 7 seconds. After hovering it shot away at in incredible speed flying higher in altitude and heading SW. I checked 2 separate flight radar tracking apps. Both showed 0 aircraft in the area or near the area at the time. I am an aviation hobbyist and attend many airshows annually and have never seen any aircraft show similar characteristics.

Tumbling cylinder with bright reflections or lights

We were in outside enjoying the nice weather this afternoon and saw a cylinder tumbling end over end. It was moving from east to west towards O'Hare while the wind and clouds were moving in the opposite direction from west to east. One of us thought it was a dark color, had a flashing light, and had some sort of disturbance/distortion around it in the shape of a ball. The other person thought it was brown and was reflecting the sun in a blinking fashion as it tumbled. It moved fairly quickly at first and then stayed in place for a bit before being obscured by clouds. By the time the clouds blew by, it was no longer there.

I've been seeing dozens of unexplained objects since Nov/Dec. Only at night. I assume drones but 0 sound and inconsistent patterns.

Nightly for months I've been seeing unexplained hovering and sometimes flying (or shooting) objects. Many times they will resemble a star and then randomly dart away. Some have been quite low and right outside our bedroom window appearing as a neon/green/blue ball that randomly darted off. There is never any noise and despite having a decent phone with a good camera, its hard to make out what I am seeing. Tonight, its been clear for thr first time in days and I've been dozens. Many are solid white and fly across the sky then seemingly disappear.

Nearly every single night for months around 9:30pm I see an orange "ball" emerge from behind the trees (north) and then fly west. Over and over again like a take-off area for different craft? I'm not sure but sometimes they are low and it worries me.

I've also seen a flash like a rocket taking off but it went just overhead. It didn't shoot upwards.

What appeared like bubbles popping caught my attention. I realized there was something white that was visible, then invisible. I couldn't determine the shape well with the naked eye, as the reflection was bright, but I could clearly see it cloak/uncloak with the naked eye. Other than the shape of the object, the videos are exactly as it was seen in person.

I was alone in my back yard, and I practice meditation daily. I'd just wrapped up an evening session and went out to play with my dogs. I'm a 32 year old white female.

Saw a radiating light in the sky, soaring across my line of sight

I was in the front yard gazing up at the sky. I noticed rapid movement of a bright white light. Identical to the other stars in the sky. But this was moving at a wildly high rate of speed, faster than commercial aircraft (its flight path intersected a plane with appropriate lighting) at which point I could tell that the light I was watching was at a much much higher altitude than the plane. I’ve seen a few shooting stars. This was not that. I’ve seen it twice. Same time of day in both instances.

Weird light patterns I never noticed on this tower since I’ve stayed here

Off Conway Blvd there’s an abandoned lot that has some sort of tower when I first noticed the strange multi colored lights beside it I was thinking maybe the county placed new light on it and I just didn’t noticed or maybe my eyes aren’t adjusting to some weird star activity going on in that direction but then the patterns of the lights started blinking in a weird pattern and just disappeared like it was sucked in like a tiny black hole then I saw a dark shadow figure rising up blending in with the night clouds ..I honestly don’t care who believes this it’s nothing we can do honestly.

Like clock work

I am a police officer and began observing these lights on Thanksgiving night 2024 st around 2:30 am. I have observed them nightly and have many videos and photos of the lights. These lights usually move west to east and sometimes fly in a circular pattern. I am reporting now because I changed agencies to a dept that is 32 miles from where I first observed the lights. Tonight, I once again observed them in the same place. I confirmed what I was seeing with an officer at my old dept who was seeing them as i was, 32 miles away.
