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.

Two bright interlocking rings fixed in the sky for at least 10 minutes w/o moving

I saw the object just before the sun started to set. It was too bright and too big to be Venus, and also was not in part of the sky where Venus would be. I ran to get my binoculars and saw that the bright shining object appeared to be two very well-defined interlocking rings of light. The outlines were sharp and crisp, perfect circles that interlocked. It had to be at least 10,000 feet in the sky. I had to look almost straight up to see it. It didn't move at all for at least 15-20 minutes. I called my two kids and they saw it, too, but assumed it was some military thing. I don't know of crafts that can remain stationary like that for 15 minutes. I went and took the dog for a walk, keeping my eye on the object. As the sun set, it disappeared, but I never saw it move. It just was suddenly no longer there.

What looked Venus but overhead instead of at horizon and about 3x size was in sky and apparently reflecting light of setting sun.

Over the course of 30 minutes the object very slowly became smaller and ultimately changed from white to orange until it looked like a small faint star in the twilight after the sun had fully set. The object was in line with the current position of Arcturus. The object did not seem to waver from it’s seemingly perpendicular movement away from Earth. Maybe this was a WorldView space balloon, but there is currently no reporting of a launch.

Beam of light visible to the north

I went outside to turn off and lock up other house nearby and toss the cat out. Saw a beam of white light to the north point straight up. I Initially thought it was someone with a powerful spot light down the valley below. After spending about three minutes inside the house powering down everything and looking for the cat (unsuccessfully), I went back outside and the beam was gone. i went to check around the property and drove around seeing if it was any suspicious activity going on down below to the north (Cops, thieves, parties). I saw nothing so went about my business, the next day i went to Page, AZ to eat lunch with relatives who visited. I saw the pics on FB of other sightings from others in northern AZ. Other patrons at the bar were also discussing the lights seen that previous night.

NUFORC Note:

The beam of light observed over northern Arizona on May 16, 2025, was primarily due to the ZhuQue-2E rocket launch by LandSpace, with potential visual enhancements from concurrent geomagnetic activity.

While enjoying a night at the park I noticed two lights constantly fading in and out of the sky pacing back and forth for an hour.

Located in southern Arizona, me and my girlfriend decided to go park at a park to enjoy the nice night while listening to music and talking. Facing north towards the Chiricahua mountains my girlfriend and I both notice a light in the sky fading into sight. The light would become brighter illuminating a white light that would become orange when most visible. The light would pace to one direction before slowly fading away until no longer visible. This was occurring at random times within a 30 minute period. After about 30 minutes an identical light appeared alongside the first light. For about another 30 minutes the two lights would pace back and forth repeating the reappearing and disappearing pattern across the sky.

Bright orb that disappeared and reappeared 3 times

I could see a bright orb type light through the kitchen window that was bouncing around a little but mostly staying in one place. I got the binoculars and watched it for approximately 1 minute and decided I needed to go out and get a video. While I was recording it, this light disappeared and reappeared 3 times. It was very unusual.

Cloudy-looking orb

Tonight 5/6/25 in Sun City Arizona at about 7:50 pm I saw a weird white light cross the sky from the northwest to the southeast.

It was weird because it was blurry - not clearly defined like the airplanes I saw at the same time. Also this was just a white light - no blinking red or green lights at all. The light looked like it had a small spherical cloud around it that traveled with it. When it was in the southeast it appeared as if a pulse of cloudy light sort of burst off it in a shape like a fat raindrop with a blunt point which was at the front of the light. The light was white and I think spherical but with a cloud around it. It took about as long to cross the sky as a regular airplane but it just didn’t look like one at all. After the burst of light came off it I couldn’t see it any more even though it hadn’t reached the horizon yet. I didn’t hear any sound from it. Although there were a few clouds near the horizon, the sky where this light flew was cloudless except for the weird fuzzy orb.

Location: Tucson, AZ, USA
Location details: I was walking home from taking my dogs to the park. I was on the sidewalk in my neighborhood.

Shape: Light
Color: White
Estimated Size: A bus.
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: Started 294 degrees NW and ended 100 degrees E before disappearing.
Angle of Elevation: 40
Closest Distance: 10,000 feet
Estimated Speed: 120 mph, about the same as a Cessna.
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Emitted other objects

I saw a fuzzy light in the sky, like it was shining through fog. It moved west to east slowly before fading from sight.

It was dusk, and I was walking home with my dogs after spending time at the park. I happened to glance up to see an unusual light in the sky. It looked different from the few stars that were in the sky around it. The light from the stars was clear and crisp, where the light from this object was fuzzy, as if it was shining through a light fog, even though it was a cloudless evening.
The center of the light was round and white, a little bit larger than Venus would be. The aura surrounding the center light was hourglass shaped, fanning out from the light in an upper left/lower right configuration. The light was traveling Northeast to Southwest, at an estimated elevation similar to that of a small plane or helicopter (10,000 ft?), and about the same speed as a Cessna taking a lazy flight. I could see no other lights, such as wing or tail lights, and the object made absolutely no noise.

Facing West with the sunset sky in the background, I could only see the light. No other material or solid object could be seen. As the light traveled East with the sunset behind me, I began to see a faint shape of a craft behind the light, leading me to believe that the light source was at the front of whatever it was. I could only see the faint outline of what you could call a fuselage of a plane. I could not make out any definite details, however. It was long and narrow, and about the size of a city bus, maybe a bit longer. I could not see any wing or tail shapes, just the body of the craft and the light. The shape of the light did not change as it moved across the sky. It remained as a round, fuzzy center with an hourglass aura.

After the object moved overhead and to the East, it seemed to drop a plume of dust that was illuminated by the light. The plum spread symmetrically from under the craft, expanding in a rather tight ring of material before fading away. The light faded from sight a few moments later.
Some background on me. I grew up in Utah, am an eagle scout, studied music education at the University of Utah, and served in the Utah National Guard for six years. I am the oldest of five children. I now live in Tucson with my wife and two kids. This is the first time that I have seen an object like this that I could honestly not explain.

There were no clouds or haze in the sky above, but the object had a hazy glow around it like it was cloaked in a cloud. There were no blinking lights on it that we could observe. We watched it for approximately 5 minutes as it moved from west to east in the sky. Just as it was getting out of our line of sight, a burst of cloudy haze exploded from around it and it disappeared.

Thought it was a seagull but flying at an extremely high altitude.

It was not a seagull or an Air Force jet. We are about 4/5 miles from Luke AirForce Base but I know my aircraft and this wasn't a fighter. It looked like a flat white bird, somewhat opaque, gliding over the pool area then suddenly flashed like a laser, morphed into a straight string and zoomed off in an easterly direction. I thought maybe it was water reflection off my sunnies. I tried to recreate that but couldn't. I heard someone say "that was weird" at the same time. I feel really strange now.

Spotted the object in the night sky and observed it for a moment before it took off and disappeared

After work my boyfriend and I were sitting on our patio smoking a cigarette and talking about moving, I spotted the object behind him in the distance and tried to get his attention but by the time I could articulate what I saw and got his attention it had darted off and vanished.

After this, maybe an hour later we were laying in bed, my boyfriend had gone to sleep and I could hear a sound that’s hard to describe, almost like a loud refrigerator sound, kind of high pitched but quiet coming from outside, this lasted for about a minute and then was gone.

On April 27, 2025, between 9:30 and 10:30 PM, my wife and I witnessed a large, circular, extremely bright object hover silently over our backyard in Anthem, AZ. It projected a powerful spotlight directly on us, with green scanning beams moving across us like a barcode scanner. The object was half the size of the full moon, surrounded by a moving haze. After hovering for approximately two minutes, it shot straight upward at incredible speed, followed by a low-level boom and an orange flash. Clear sky, no clouds. Full report attached.

I was driving from Tucson to Florence when I noticed a strange light surrounded by a greenish haze/mist. It was a clear night with no clouds and I could explain the strange mist surrounding the object. The object itself was shaped somewhat like a droplet and the greenish haze/mist surrounding it was shaped like an oval. It was moving from West to East. I pulled over and took two pictures. Within a minute of pulling over, it started to move over the road in front of me and slowly disappeared.

UAP Silent, 2 foggy bright lights on each side

I am my friends saw a flying craft. It was silent. Had two bright white lights shining out the sides, rather than the front. These side lights cast out really far and appeared foggy. The sky was clear. The front light was round, small and not nearly as bright. It did not flash and there was no color to any of it. It flew at about helicopter height. It came from the west and was just north of us but over us. Once it was over us, it disappeared. We went to watch the video back and I happen to look up to see it with a bright flash and it disappeared again in the east, not far away. The flash was quite big and reflected on some light clouds there. The video does not really show how the lights cast out in wide fans.

White glowing orb seen in the night sky, hovered and disappeared.

On April 27, 2025, around 8:40 PM in San Tan, Arizona, I observed a white glowing orb in the night sky. It appeared to have the shape of an airplane but was completely surrounded by a glowing white light, creating a misty halo effect around it. The object remained visible for a few minutes and then suddenly disappeared without a sound. It did not have any blinking lights like a normal airplane. There was no noise coming from it. I observed it with three other witnesses. I captured a photograph showing the glowing orb. The sighting made no sudden movements and simply vanished from view.

UFO Sighting Report – Duncan, Arizona

Date of Sighting: April 27, 2025
Time: Approximately 8:40 PM Arizona time
Location: Duncan, Arizona, USA
Duration: Approximately 45 seconds

Description:
While outside under clear night skies, I observed a white, circular object ascending upward into the atmosphere. The object emitted a steady glow, with a halo-like effect surrounding it. The glow made it appear as if it were behind a mist or a cloud; however, there were no clouds present in the sky. None of the nearby stars showed similar distortion or glow.

There was no tail, trail, or contrail behind the object.
It moved silently, steadily, and directly upward, slightly toward my position, before disappearing into the sky after approximately 45 seconds.
No sound was heard at any point.

The sky was completely clear and calm.

Shape: Circular
Color: White with a glowing halo
Movement: Straight upward into the atmosphere
Sound: None
Weather Conditions: Clear sky, excellent visibility

Additional Notes:
I captured a photo during the sighting, showing the object's central bright core and the surrounding glowing halo.
(Attach your photo when submitting!)

There were no known launches or meteor showers scheduled to be visible at this time. Given the object's silent ascent, appearance, and disappearance, it did not resemble any conventional aircraft, satellite, or natural phenomenon I am familiar with.

Around twilight (after sunset, but not fully dark)

While observing the sky during twilight, I noticed a bright white light with a slight cloudy or misty appearance around it. The object was moving steadily in a straight line across the sky for approximately two minutes. It maintained a consistent bright white color the entire time without flashing, blinking, or changing shape. Toward the end of the sighting, just before it faded completely from view, the object appeared to subtly change direction.

Once it shifted direction slightly, it rapidly faded out and was no longer visible.
There was no sound, no trail, and no obvious blinking lights like a commercial airplane or satellite might show. The sky was mostly clear, and the light stood out sharply against the twilight background.

Other Notes:
• No known aircraft, satellites, or weather events were immediately visible nearby.
• The movement and behavior of the object did not match that of a shooting star, airplane, or drone.
• The sighting felt unusual due to the cloud-like glow and the way it faded while changing direction.

On April 26, 2025, around 9:00 PM in Chandler, Arizona, a glowing, tumbling orb was observed moving erratically in the night sky. Witnesses reported it making sharp turns, hovering briefly, and then flying off. Some speculated it was a training aircraft, but the object’s lack of navigation lights and unusual movement challenged that explanation. Video evidence was posted to Reddit, with additional sightings shared on TikTok. The incident remains unexplained and is considered a possible UAP.

This evening my brother and I were stargazing, in the desert, it was a perfectly clear night with no clouds and we were hoping to see a few fallings stars. After only a few moments we noticed an unusual light high in the sky. It seemed to be traveling in our direction, as it got closer, we noticed what I can only describe as a magnetic field around the orb that moved in a figure 8. It was a very bright yellowish gold color and moved towards us until the light was about 3 times bigger than a full moon. I watched it for about five seconds until I pulled out my phone out and videoed it for 58 more seconds. We observed it doing a 180° turn upward into the sky and then it continued straight into space until I couldn’t see it anymore. We had no obstructions between us and the craft just a perfectly dark night sky.

White blob moving pretty fast, faded away through the sky

A single bright, white object was observed in the night sky. It appeared as a glowing, cloud-like blob with a faint halo surrounding it, standing out clearly against the dark background. The object moved at a steady and relatively fast pace across the sky. Its edges were soft and undefined, giving it a misty or diffused appearance. The object did not emit any sound, nor did it display any flashing lights or sharp structural features. No other objects were visible nearby, except for stars. As it continued moving, the white glow gradually faded until the object completely disappeared into the sky, as if dissolving or being absorbed by the atmosphere.

At my pool and saw this aircraft flying pretty low and very visible. It’s a clear night. It disappeared quickly after video

I am very familiar with aircraft. I recently moved to Arizona and pay close attention to night sky as it is usually clearer than I have ever seen before. There was a haze around this object, but the sky is completely clear. No sound. Too close to be a helicopter because I would have heard it. No flashing lights, and no spotlights. Objects haze disappeared, then i could see object clearly, then it disappeared into a clear night sky.

Flew from west to east, bright light, flashed like a small fireworks, dimmed, then disappeared.

I spotted the light, and it didn't look like an airplane. Since it wasn't typical, I got out my phone to vid it, but it did not appear on the screen. As it flew from northwest to southeast over my house, I followed it because I was curious. As it got closer to the full moon, it looked to "explode" like fireworks in a strange half circle of light with stars between the object and the circle. It took a few seconds for both the stars and the circle to fade. At that point, the light of the object dimmed. I was again unable to get a video or a picture of the object. It flew past the moon and disappeared entirely. I speculated that it may have been a drone, but as I could not capture any real evidence on my phone, I have no idea. One of my neighbors saw it with me shortly after it "exploded." I've never seen anything like it.

I’m not sure if this was a ufo but it had no blinking lights so I don’t know what else it would be.

It looked like a spotlight moving through the air like a plane but it has no blinking lights. Even in thin cloud cover it had nothing blinking. I could see planes lights blinking in the thick clouds so this was strange. It never emerged from the cloud line either.

I witnessed two orb-like lights high in the sky, spinning around each other and changing colors rapidly—red, green, blue, purple, yellow, etc. They stayed in the same spot and made no sound. The event lasted about 5 minutes. I have both a photo and a short video of the lights showing this behavior. My aunt and uncle witnessed it with me and described the same thing. The orbs did not resemble drones, planes, or any typical aircraft, and they made no sound at all.

Four white orb like lights appearing and intersecting at same time creating triangular shapes before departing in opposite directions

At 8:46 PM I noticed a white orb light object traveling directly south eastern direction at a height of approximately 10,000 feet in comparison to the light clouds to the north of my location. Watching the object I began to analyze the object for approximately two minutes as it continued to travel in a straight line. The white orb light traveled away from my position in an eastern, southeastern direction. My first inclination was possibly a star link satellite.

Following the object with my eyes, I noticed other white orbs approaching the orb I was watching from multiple directions. A second white orb got brighter, traveling from a location north of me and traveling in a south western direction. A third orb I noticed approached from the west of my location, traveling in a north eastern direction and appearing brighter. A fourth white orb appeared and got brighter from the southeast of my location, flying in a north western direction. All white orbs appeared to drop in elevation and intersecting in a common area of the sky.

The intersection of the orbs was very curious from my location. I noticed constellations in the background with geometric shapes and as these orbs intersected, they created geometric shapes with each other and stars in the background. The first interaction was between three orbs, as one orb trailed slightly. Then all orbs intersected and appeared to change flight paths. The orbs then departed in different flight paths from their original. I observed the orbs departing and they faded over time in different directions from each other. The lights took a few minutes to fade into the night sky as they crossed the sky.

As the orbs departed, I noticed a commercial plane approaching from the east and flying directly west. The plane appeared higher in the sky than the orbs observed.

It was like seeing a flying black hole moving at a relatively quick pace.

I was walking my dog and I looked up, and spotted a black object flying pretty high up. At first, my brain decided it was a bird, but the more I looked at it, the less like a bird it seemed like. It was too high up, it was like looking into a black hole, and it was moving in a straight line at a very quick pace.

Duration: 19 seconds

Location: Sedona, AZ, USA
Location details: This is Bell Rock in Sedona, AZ. Not sure what this is?

Shape: Unknown

Explanation: Camera Anomaly - Certain


White light encrircled 3 tmes around Bell Rock in Sedons

Not sure what this is. But while standing and taking a video of Bell Rock for 19 seconds. When got home, looked up the video and saw this white light going around the Bell Rock 3 times. Did not see this when the video was being taken. Some reason the camera caught this phenomena. Any idea what this might be.

NUFORC Note:

The detected outline intensity is relatively low, suggesting that the white outline moving around the rock formation is likely caused by one of the following: 1-

Compression Artifacts – If the video is compressed (e.g., using a lossy codec like H.264), it can introduce edge artifacts, especially around high-contrast areas like rocks against the sky. 2-

Sharpening or Edge Enhancement – Some video processing techniques, like artificial sharpening or contrast enhancement, can create a "halo effect" around objects, which may appear as a moving white outline.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187970
Occurred: 2025-02-26 11:45 Local
Reported: 2025-02-26 13:26 Pacific
Duration: About 60-75 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Prescott Valley, AZ, USA
Location details: I was in a local neighborhood park that overlooks an open prairie grass field.

Shape: Sphere
Color: Black & silver metal
Estimated Size: Each orb was about 30 inches across
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: I was facing North, so I was south of the group
Angle of Elevation: 60
Closest Distance: Maybe 100 feet
Estimated Speed: 8-10 mph
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

I was walking & noticed a group of 5 orbs moving in a line, I stopped and watched.

I was walking in a local park and noticed a group of 5 small orbs (about the size of a beach ball each) moving in an angled line. I thought they were birds until they got closer. The orbs were dark like matte black on the underside and a metal like silver on top and they did not make any type of sound. As they were moving together, they were shaking so they were reflecting the sunlight when the tops were tipped towards the sun. That’s what made me look closer.

I watched them pass me about 100 feet above me as they moved west about half a mile before making a 90-degree right turn towards the north. They moved maybe 25 feet in that direction and then turned right again to face east so they were moving back towards me. When they got a little past me, they made a left turn towards the north and then shot off real fast and were gone withing a second or two.

I watched the group the entire time, except for when I turned to look to see if there was anyone else in the park seeing this, then turned back to watching the group. Besides the side to side shaking the orbs never broke from the line they were in. There was one other person in the park, but he was looking at his phone and told me he hadn't noticed the group.

Within minutes a Cessna style prop plane flew in from the same direction, made a similar right turn and then a second right turn but then headed south. With in maybe 10 minutes I noticed 3 jets, I can't say if they were military or private, at a very high altitude circling the area but they went off in different directions. I do live near a small regional airport so the planes may have all been a coincidence.

It hovered much of the time it was visible.

Something extraordinary large streaming across the sky. Object then stopped and looked like a flood light in the sky

Me and my wife were driving west on interstate 10 between Tucson and Phoenix when we saw a very bright light just sitting in the sky to the west in front of us. After watching the light for 5 minutes or so we noticed an object streaming across the sky from the south west. This object looked like a shooting star except it was extremely large (I mean extremely large). After crossing around 40 percent of our view of the sky on our left the object just disappeared then a couple seconds later reappeared in the exact spot it had disappeared. Only this time it was sitting still and appeared as an enormous flood light in the sky. The light just hovered for about 10 minutes then disappeared completely. The original light we saw to the west disappeared at some point while we were watching the object to the south.

The object came up from the hills. It was spinning and dimming out and then getting black. It was big with no wind.

The object starting coming up into the air from the hills on the other side of town. It seemed like a long black cylinder that was rotating along its short axis and also its long axis. As it spun along the short axis, it seemed to spin around the long axis becoming a dark black color (like very black) and then dimming out, over and over. It floated up into the sky past the clouds over hot air balloons that go up in the air most evenings here in Glendale, AZ. There was absolutely no visible wind for miles.

Black rectangle with odd movements

In broad daylight above Tempe Arizona a black rectangle I spotted moving slowly westward and slightly up. After approximately 2 minutes it took a sharp 90 degree angle and slowly disappeared into a smaller shape to the north at a fast pace. Only captured the slow movement to the west on camera.

Blue diamond shaped object, staying very still in one spot. Very visible, reflecting sun from one of its surfaces

I work in the area and always take a lunch break at noon, there's an airport near by and as an enthusiast of flying and aircraft, I often look up at the aircraft that are taking off.

As I looked up at the passing plane, I noticed a dot in the sky just past the aircraft that was standing very still. My eyes automatically refocused on the object and I started picking up details. It was an object kind of diamond but prolong oval shape, had flat sides to it. During this time of the year, we get hot air balloons in the sky and I know how they look and behave. However, this was not a hot air balloon, it stayed very steady against the moving light clouds that were moving eastward with the wind. It probably was no more than 400ft altitude or even lower as the planes that were taking off were just below it. It had a weird rotation to it...it would spin vertically about half way for a few seconds, then spin back to previous position, then repeat same spin...never a full rotation. Whenever it would rotate, it would catch the reflection of the sun, perfectly in my direction and I would see a very true blue light coming off from the object for a few seconds before it would rotate and the reflection would stop, then happen again. It was really interesting, like trying to grab my attention and also very pretty, but unnatural looking.

Lost sight of it after about 3 mins as I kept walking and looking back at the object...hope it returns, would love to see it again.

Btw, right by my work there's an FBI building, im wondering in anyone other than me caught something in the area or someone from the ATC of the airport
