Reported: 2025-05-08 05:02 Pacific
Duration: 5 - 10 min west to east
No of observers: 2

Location: Happy Valley, NM, USA
Location details: Rural area

Shape: Light
Color: Bright white
Estimated Size: Large - look at video
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: I was looking due west when I spotted it
Angle of Elevation: 45
Closest Distance: No idea on the distance but flew over my head
Estimated Speed: Faster than anything I know of
Explanation: Rocket - Certain
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Emitted other objects

Object was seen flying west to east towards me. Thought was plane at first but too fast, too bright. Emitted something out the front.

Object appeared as a large bright glow, flying fast out of the west. Moving much faster than any Plane. Watched it as it came over head. Object traveling fast emitted a large vapor like plume out of the front, that carried in front of it like a bow wave, clearly seen in the video. This ‘wave’ appeared to be spinning and accelerated ahead of the object, the object never caught up to it. Also after the ‘emission’ it appears that the object changed shape too. After this emission occurrence the object lost bright glow and appeared as what I would describe as a large satellite that can be seen in this area in the summer months. Object disappeared out of sight to the west.

For clarity, realize as you look at the video, the plume is coming out the front of the object, not the back. One person I showed presumed it was from the back.
Also there was no sound.

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Color, Animals reacted

Multiple light changing orbs in the eastern sky that stay in the same position for more than 5 hours observation.

Opened my window around 12:00 a.m. on September 24th and first noticed what I thought was a planet. I quickly realized it was changing colors from hues of blue, yellow, white red and green. I observed this light and about 4 others similar for 1 hour with zero movement in the sky, after being a little more courageous I moved from my bedroom to outside for a more clear view and noticed over 50 more changing orbs in a range of closeness in the eastern sky. I watched them for another hour to make sure none of thier positions were not moving. I woke up my family and they were shaken by the encounter. I've spoken to several other strangers and they too also witnessed what did last night, with color changing orbs with zero movement throughout hours of the early morning.

Please note the photo attached was taken through an apartment window and does not reflect my full view of what I saw. I did not think my 0hone would even capture any light. I can upload a current picture at the same time of night to show I could not take pictures of any start or satellites through my bedroom window

A blue-green light silently moved back and forth for approximately 5 minutes. The green light appeared to be the brightest part of it. As it turned, a dimmer white light was visible. I have no idea what it was. I've never seen a meteor, satellite, plane, or other aircraft behave this way.

Shape: Rectangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Large silent slow Glowing orange and red but lights looked like they were foggy

I was outside smoking and I was walking home when I looked up and I could see a rather large low-flying object in the sky. It was flying over one of the buildings in my community. I couldn’t really make out what shape it was because of the lights that it had, but it wasn’t quite round maybe close to a wide rectangle. The whole bottom of the object was glowing an Amber/orange color and on the left and the right side each side had one red glowing light. The way the lights looked was so strange because it was like looking at lights glowing through a fog. You couldn’t distinctly see the light but it was glowing and you could see the color. There was no fog or clouds this night it was clear so I thought that was odd. The object was moving slowly and silently as it moved. It move north over the building and I started walking very fast because I wanted to get around the building to not loose my line of sight. I did lose sight for about 5 seconds as I rounded the! corner of the building and in those 5 seconds it was gone. I remember thinking I wanted to record it, but didn’t want to look away from it because I didn’t want to miss it. I wanted to keep looking at this because it is something I have never seen before. This was the first real ufo I have ever seen. This blew my mind

Very large slow moving orb over Portland Area.

My property sits at 1000 feet on Mt Scott, facing West. Approximately 6:45 we observed a very bright orb emanating colors of green, red, blue, but mostly bright white. The object moved very slowly south-west. From Happy Valley, the object appeared first from the direction of Wilsonville. We observed the object for about 20 minutes as small aircraft in the area apparently saw it as well. The smaller planes over Portland started flying in circles over the area and towards the object. It was far bigger than any landing lights as there is a flight pattern over Portland that goes from South to North. I verified the sighting with a Meade Telescope using a 22mm lens, and binoculars of very high quality. I captured some pictures and video, but quality isn't much to share.

Shape: Egg


Egg shaped objects with a flame-like tail, three in triangle formation, video link included

(Description written/recorded the night witnessed. I intended to previously submit this, however circumstances following the event caused the submission to be forgotten following drafting the description and posting the video. I showed this video the Clyde Lewis and he encouraged be to submit the report.) Video of object can be seen on Youtube: https://youtu.be/NU6_C_Gqgnc Me and my mother were traveling south-east bound in my car, taking a fork in the road when I spotted and pointed out three objects that appeared to be comets (first thing that went through my mind).. I only saw one at first but two more came into sight moments later as I winded down the curvy road. (total of three) I pointed them out in a bit of a panic because they appeared to be really big. They started out half the size of the moon, though shrank as they moved and appeared to be moving away over and past the mountain. Their movements were 'graceful' being the only way I can describe it. Their tails were white with a bit yellowish toward the end. I slowed to a crawl as we neared an intersection, and noted they were totally silent.

It was not like a firework, nor a flare, the tail seemed to emit off the object so slowly (especially at first when they were quite long). The objects continued making sharp banking turns side to side independent of one another.

The tails curved in response to the movements, glowing fire-like tails lingered quite a ways behind the objects creating them (to such an extent that when they made turns, the tails formed C-shapes).

At this point the third lowest UFO dipped below the houses and vanished as they moved over the mountain. (picture them in a triangle pattern with a flat face down of the triangle, the left most point was lower than the right most two points, with the top point high near the moon in the sky viewing SE) I hurried as quickly as I could into the school parking lot (trying to take care, there were still cars and possibly kids around) at that intersection and parked as quickly as possible.

At this point the right most light was dipping below the house's roof lines, and as I struggled out of the car, flipping my phone on and trying to get it into camera mode the object took one final turn from right to left. Finally I got the camera up and started taking video of the final object which had drastically slowed it's banking movements, and was now slowly descending before vanishing behind a house's roof top.

Towards the end of the sighting, about the time I parked, the object's tails significantly reduced in length.

I know exactly where I parked, and I was facing down towards two homes. So I know right where it was in the sky in what direction. We proceeded to rush in the direction of where the objects dipped behind the houses (which are, in turn, on a mountain/hill. If the objects were still in the sky they could still be fairly high in elevation just on the other side of the mountain. This was our line of thought as we attempted to get on the other side of Mt. Scott.) My mother riding with me got a better look (since I was driving). She reports "The object was silver/metallic egg-shaped. The flame was undulating and was being emitted from object's widest perimeter in a ribbon type form." The video picks up moments before the final object disappeared behind the houses to the other side of the mountain. By this time the objects had grown much smaller due to the distance they've moved and two of the three weren't visible.

The phone's camera shifted to a red tone, ruining the color representation of the object. (I have no idea why). The video is unedited, and the zoom was digital zoom on the phone. For a brief moment before I zoom in, you can see the moon and surroundings for size and perspective.

Exact location information and directional information available upon request.

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Landed

Two separate fireballs descending slowly, in different parts of sky,one touching ground very near us, the far one vanishing at horizon

Thought we should report this since news this morning about the satellite plunging into the Pacific and that "scientists may never know" if any debris from it landed in North America compels us,,,last evening (Friday) we spotted two descending balls of fire, one descending straight down and landing in a small field and not causing a fire, the other moving diagonally near earth and near our location.

Both were firey and both were descending at a speed best described as leisurely, not meteoric.

We are returning to the first site and will report back if we find any remains.

I was driving down Happy Valley rd.saw what I thought was a deer,no then is it a dog,no. The thing I saw was trying to push what it was in my mind,I just kept repeating in my head I see you. It was also doing this to the other two people in the car. It was very skinny with four legs that seem to be longer than its body, skin that was pinkish and paper fine,almost see through. It didn't seem to have any eyes and it's face was long. As soon as it realized that it couldn't convince me that it was a animal it shrank down to the ground and it's crawling almost like a spider. It crawled over to a fence post and wrapped itself around it,there was no where for this thing to hide, I could feel fear coming from it to.My teenagers where afraid and wanted to leave,so we left. Don't know what it was, but I know it's was trying to do something to my mind,and I know it didn't belong here.It was lost or left,a feeling I got from it. I never reported this because it's seems nuts,! and you guys probably think it's a joke or I'm crazy.

bright neon object moves from west to east, then darts to the unknown. with the blink of an eye.

i witnessed a bright light moving from west to east at about 20000 ft or higher i estimate.. it moved without no sound and it was extrememly bright like a neon white light.. it wasnt blinking, i also know it wasnt a plane becasue there was a plane on the opposite horizon and looked nothing alike... with blinking lights. it was almost a star shaped light... i saw the same light/object a couple nights before on the oppsite horizon, but it wasnt moving... i kinda thought it was the north star but it was way to big to be a star... and it was moving last night and in a different location.

Observed Meteir/Fireball

I was driving southbound (near Happy Valley, Oregon) on I-205 & noticed the meteor traveling East to West.

It was located high in the sky-I would compare it to the a degree as Venus (when you can see Venus @ 18:00 here in OR) It was blueish/white in color. To my knowledge media hasn't covered it. (I don't see how anyone else traveling in the same direction wouldn't have noticed

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Bright pulsing light moving at fast speeds over Milwaukie, Oregon

I noticed the object when it was at a distance of about 5 miles away and probably several thousand feet high. I was on my third floor balcony having a smoke at about 10:30pm on the evening of 1/22/07.

At first I thought it was a star because it just appeared to be a weak white light in the sky. Then I realized it was moving slowly in a straight horizontal line, and so I assumed it was a private aircraft. After I watched it for maybe 10 seconds, it suddenly dropped straight down in a vertical line about a thousand feet or so in just a few seconds, so I knew immediately it was not a conventional aircraft.

I called my friend to join me outside and take a look, because I didn't know if I could trust my own eyes with what I was seeing. He witnessed the same thing I did.

Next, the light began to shine brilliantly, pulsing between red, blue, green, purple and white while flying again in a perfect horizontal line - only now it had dropped below the tree line. But because it was winter and many of the trees had lost their leaves, it was still fairly easy to track. The light would extinguish sometimes and then reappear in seconds a mile or so away - and at different heights. And after watching it for about 7 minutes, it finally disappeared. It was a perfectly clear night sky, so I know it could not have been a spotlight reflecting off of a cloud. Additionally the craft generated no sound, and no other aircraft were observed during the sighting.
