We saw about 30 moving lights in varying speed at different moments headed in different directions over the course of 1.5 hours.

Around 9 pm we looked up and saw a moving light, it was not pulsing or flashing and was moving relatively fast. Over the next hour and a half we saw about 30 more lights with about 2 or 3 of those lights being blue. They did not alll appear at once and they were headed in different directions coming from the north, south, and west but none from the east. None of the lights made any sound as they traveled. One of the lights got bright twice and then its light turned off. There were no visible craft bodies to any of the lights although at one point we saw two lights traveling close together that almost appeared to make an outline of a craft. It could be unrelated, but about 30 minutes in we saw 2 military helicopters on a flight tracking radar app flying over the city. The sightings continued and later around 10 pm we saw 3 lights that zipped across the sky VERY quickly that were only visible for a second. All of the lights faded out of sight. Some of the lights made deviations in their flight pattern with 2 crossing by eachother in an x pattern. At one point our wifi went out on our cell phones.

Lights in the sky that went dim and bright

I was flying at 43000 ft from Phoenix to Nashville early in the morning on 5/5/25. We departed PHX at about 2300 CT and landed at BNA at about 0200 CT. For about two hours of the flight until landing I observed 3-5 lights in the sky pulsing bright white light. The duration of the brightness and which object illuminated seemed random. Sometimes just one and sometimes all three. With it being light it is difficult to know how far away they were. Could have been a couple hundred miles. They appeared to be at a higher altitude. I’m a pilot and have seen airplanes, satellites and stars before.

Giant white rectangle light boxes in night sky

Looking SW to watch airport traffic, I witnessed what looked like two enormous fluorescent fixtures oriented narrow side up. Adjacent and above the trees past the lake. White light coming from cylinder source inside. So bright I could see the lines of the box. Pulsating to very bright.

First it was L-R alternating intensity, then in unison. About 20 times later or so lights altered distance in between and pulsated white to red, a very very bright red. Then they just shot up and vanished. All sound stopped during encounter. I could make out the lines of the light box extremely intense but comfortable to gaze at.

I saw a green laser from above at least, 1.5ft in diameter, and it was facing, south but im also doubting it could be a normal laser

I observed a vibrant green laser cutting through the night sky, its beam at least 1.5 feet in diameter. It pointed decisively toward the south, casting an eerie glow in the darkness. Yet, for some reason, I found myself questioning whether it was an ordinary laser, as its brilliance and size seemed almost otherworldly.

Direction from Viewer: Aprox 320 degrees and vanished aprox 0 degrees
Angle of Elevation: 45
Closest Distance: Not sure
Estimated Speed: Not sure
Characteristics: Emitted other objects

A string of 5-7 golden lights moving in a line. The lights joined into one then disappeared 4-5 times. Starlink has no record of it.

Date and Time:

February 26, 2025, around 7:27 PM (Central Time)

Location:

South of Nickerson, Kansas

Northern sky, moving west to east

Sighting:

A string of 5-7 golden lights moving in a straight line, with each light trailing behind the previous one for 2-3 seconds.

The lights would join together into a single light, then that light would disappear.

After a few seconds, the lights would reappear in the same formation and join into one light again, disappearing each time.

This happened 4-5 times over about 20-25 seconds before the lights vanished completely.

No sound was heard, and the lights moved smoothly and steadily. They were aprox 45 degrees off the northern horizon. The lights began in the north west and dissappeared aprox due north.

Additional Observations:

As soon as the lights vanished, I recorded a video of the sky, but I believe I missed capturing the lights since they disappeared so quickly.

Right after the lights vanished, we observed other blinking lights in the direction they were traveling, possibly as if the original lights had scattered. This was recorded right after the lights disappeared.

Orbs fading in and out, many nonstop for over an hour.

I was outside January 14, 2025, rural Louisburg, KS around 8 pm having a cigarette. I noticed a bright low star like light in the sky to the west of me and then it faded out. It was a crystal clear night so no clouds to cover it. I saw it happen again just seconds later and it appeared to float upwards as it faded out as well. I kept my focus on that part of the sky after seeing it twice. It was nonstop every few seconds a orb of light and sometimes more than one would form from a pale white glow to a bright illuminating orange color. They would illuminate brighter than anything in the sky before they faded out and new ones would form. I stood outside in freezing temps recording this on my phone for over an hour. My roommate and my son also witnessed this. I have over 20 individual videos of individual occurances you can see them form, float and fade. After the orbs stopped another bright white light appeared and hovered for over 10 minutes in the same area I saw the orbs. The light then rapidly came my direction and as I recorded it you could see it go from a solid white light to blinking colored lights like a plane has. It looked like a plane to my eye as it got overhead but I witnessed it hover in the same spot for 10 to 15 minutes before coming my direction. I have video of this as well. I see lots of lights in our rural sky most so far up they look like stars but they're zipping threw the sky. My niece and I witnessed a light very high in the sky split into two lights and zig zag then collide returning to one light. These experiences happen so fast or are so high I could never get videos. But to witness these orbs (plasmoids?) for over an hour and then a craft seem to investigate the area and to record it all was an experience I've never had. I can't look off my back porch the same now.

But the distance was like where they would look like stars but they were clearly moving some fast some just moving across like a plane speed but they were stopping and then going different directions. That's how I knew it wasnt a satellite a star or a fallen star.

Above me. There was another flashing light and connecting then it made a triangle. Tonight the lights are back, stationery and blinking.

3 Orbs in a triangle formation hovering about 500 ft above me

I had left work at 8pm and stopped at the Dollar General before going home. I was a bit distracted but before getting into my car I noticed what I can only describe as a “breathing” whitish orange light above me and slightly to my north. I then noticed there were 2 others completing a triangle formation along with it. I needed to get home, but I stayed in my car to watch what I was seeing. They weren’t flashing, but breathing getting dim and then brighter. They moved in unison around for a few minutes and then stopped. My car was on, as it is 20 degrees outside. My car’s radio screen shut off and my odometer went to over 100mph while I was sitting still. My engine also revved up in its own. A car will naturally idle a little harder in the cold, but this was an insane revving being that I was sitting still and my car was in “Park”. After about 18 minutes of this it jumped extremely fast outward toward space and faded from sight. It seemed to move up and out of our orbit. Never seen anything like this in my life and it kept me awake all night last night contemplating what I had seen.

Uap/drone appeared and performed evasive maneuver

I took the dog out just after 7 p.m. I was watching geese fly overhead (they're migrating, coming in to find a place to rest outside of St Marys, Kansas). I also saw an aircraft with FAA lights (green/red) traveling along a vector from west ( fort Riley) flying east. At this moment I noticed a "star" above the geese get really bright, winding up slowly, as the plane approached, uap just zipped out of the way, but wound up its spinning lights directly proportional to the distance moved. It sat in one spot for a few seconds as the airplane went right by it, then those blue and white lights wound up and the thing corkscrewed across the sky, the frequency of spinning and the brightness were very bright and that thing was gone. I'm 47. Never have I seen this before. My phone was on the charger in the house. I didn't look at my phone for hours after, I was trying to write down everything I saw before my brain could corrupt it with videos on the internet.

Three fast rotating bright orbs with expansion and contraction and a few extreme super fast zip movements, seen over 90 minutes

We watched and recorded them for about 90 minutes. We saw one and the noticed two more. We were outside on a remote rural dirt road. We could still see one when we returned to our nearby Strickler family ranch area. They were slightly more golden than stars and were star-like twinkling lights from naked eye vision. We tried to get closer to one in the truck but it kept its distance and then it followed us back when we returned…they would come close… 500-1000 feet? and then retreat. The angle in the sky varied from 5 degrees above horizon for one orb to about 45 degrees. My husband Dale, called his brother who lives a mile away and he saw one too including through binoculars and a range finder and using this magnification Todd said the center looked triangular and the orb would shoot a ray in a direction to move the opposite way. They were still when seeing them with the naked eye but rotated and bobbed on video with expansions and contractions. Dale and I saw them zip back and forth super-fast a few times. There were brief red flashes occasionally and Dale thought there some red towards the top but I didn’t see this. We have more videos. We would like to know if others have seen such things and what they might be.

Lights, fading in and out, moving back and forth and circling each other

I was watching the lights toward Great Bend and taking pictures. There were about 4 in the sky this time doing turns and going back and forth. As one of the lights got brighter it looked like it split in two and the new ball of light started circling with the other lights, fading in and out, until they took off and went dark. It wasn't until I came in the house and looked at the photos that I seen it was triangular shape going in a downward direction. The photos attached, the original photo and zoomed in screenshot, shows both the triangular shape and the object above where the triangular shape came from.

Note: All questions answered were based on this night only.

There were 3 objects, changing colors, and sometimes they moved fast and erractically and sometimes they were stationery.

We were out to watch the Northern Lights — and there was one object that we thought was a star but the colors kept changing and then it was moving very strangely, sometimes it seemed to cover a vast distance incredibly quickly. Sometimes it would stop moving altogether. Sometimes it moved in a circle, sometimes a zig zag, sometimes backwards, sometimes forwards. Then we noticed 2 other objects to the Left of this one, also moving in similarly fast and erratic ways. This was definitely not a plane and not a satellite, which we saw moving in a straight line at a steady speed. I never thought I would be reporting seeing a UFO. I don't know what it was, but it wasn't anything that I had ever experienced before. We all saw it. We were mesmerized and a bit scared too. I have no idea what was going on.

Was hovering over cattle field with big spotlight then it moved quick with no sound.

At first thought it was military training because it stood still with a beam/spotlight but then it moved really fast towards us and made moves not rational to flying crafts known by man and made no sounds and then disappeared.

Angle of Elevation: 60
Closest Distance: 1/2 mile
Estimated Speed: 200 to 300 MPH


Small metallic object, low altitude, straight path, constant speed.

Sitting on back porch at about 5:30 PM August 24, 2024. Not really sure about the exact time. Saw the object approaching from the south southwest. There are some fairly tall trees both to the south and north. The object flew in a straight path and constant speed. The time it appeared over the south trees to when it was out of sight to the north northwest behind the north trees was about 15 seconds. The object was fairly low for a flying craft. Hard to judge how high, maybe a 1,000 feet or so. Hard to judge how fast it was going, maybe 200 to 300 MPH.

The object was dark when I first saw it. When it got by me the sun shown on the back side and it looked metallic silver. The shape looked like 2 oval or egg shapes attached, but offset. It was not very large. I’d guess about 20’ diameter total. It did not look like it had any wings. There was no exhaust trail. I had headphones on that block exterior noise and was listening to music, so I heard no sound. But I suspect it wasn’t making any.

I’m a 74 year old civil engineer. Still working.

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Noticed a Cylindrical shape with an oval cross-section. A ring on top, and below. I had polarized sunglasses on, not viewable without.

I was laying in the pool with my sunglasses on which are polarized. I was staring up at the sky towards the sun and noticed a moving bubble. I took my glasses off and could not see anything. I put them back on and saw it moving in the same direction. I thought it was an eye floaty but I confirmed it was not since my eye floatys are straight and wiggly. This was an iridescent, kind of see through object. Almost shiny. Looked like a bubble on top, and bubble below with a cylindrical shape with an oval cross-section. I could make out the lines of the curves to the object as it was moving. I tilted my glasses down to see if I could see it without glasses since it had traveled a little up past the sun rays, but I was unable to view it. I then put my glasses back on out and that’s when took a the picture I uploaded. The photo does not capture the detailed lines I saw with the polarized glasses on.

Bright white orb zig zagged from west to east, then shot off to the south with diminishing brightness.

On August 12, 2024, my sister and I went to look at the Perseid meteor shower west of Easton, Kansas. While looking southwest, we noticed a stationary bright whitish-yellow orb that we thought may have been a planet like Jupiter (about the same brightness). It then moved slowly in a zigzagging motion for 10 seconds from west to east, then made a sharp right turn and sped off to the south. The brightness diminished in a few seconds, and then it completely disappeared. We thought it could have been a meteor, but the fact it made such a sudden, fast change in direction after moving slowly made us think otherwise.

I witnessed a gold and silver black bottomed oscillating orb moving N northwest.

I was outside watching airplanes and bird. The weather was going to be stormy that day so I knew that high altitude currents would be lofting birds way up in the air. I was watching a pair of Mississippi kites flying at high altitude. I could barely see them with the naked eye. But I was using a pair of 10/50mm binoculars. When an object passed through my periphery behind the birds, appearing larger than the birds catching my eye. I immediately began to track it as it moved towards the north northwest. It was moving at a continuous rate of speed. I can only estimate that it was between 5000 and 7000 feet. It was a football/orb shape. At least that's what it appeared to be. It could not be focused upon it, as if it appeared to be blurry. The top half of the object was turning silver to gold, silver to gold, but I think it was silver reflecting the noon bright sun. The bottom half was extremely black or shadowed, with a slight curvature in the middle, like a Ying Yang symbol. The Ying Part Yang's part was oscillating, like moving back and forth. The black wouldn't go to the top, it would stay on the bottom, but it was like it was probably maybe spinning. I dropped the binoculars from my eyes and could not see it at all. It was too far away and too small to see with the naked eye, but I was immediately able to pick it back up with the binoculars and watched it as it disappeared into the horizon. I immediately went inside and told my wife. We discussed whether to report it and she worried that it would bring me undo stress to do so. I am doing it because I am a patriot, and I am hoping it is one ours. If not, I want my military to know that I saw something strange.

Then all 3 lights stopped, the top light stayed as the bottom 2 lights started to move farther apart, one going left, the other right. Then lost track of them.

4 white lights of changing intensity resembling stars moving in a portion of the night sky.

We were operating a commercial flight from LAS to ORD at an altitude of 37k’ over eastern Colorado. The first object was seen as we approached the vicinity of the HGO vor… we watched them move for approximately 30 minutes or so until we reached the waypoint identified as KK57C. After which the objects seemed to become more faint, ultimately becoming impossible to see. The objects moved in a portion of the sky approximately 25*-35* above the horizon and between headings of 070* and 110* as we flew an approximate track of 080*.

Early during the sighting the 4 lights would appear incredibly bright, remain illuminated for approximately 5 seconds then gradually fade only to reappear again in a different position. The objects when lit, would also be moving. They appeared to move in all directions, sometimes independently and sometimes in unison with one another often times in pairs as they moved parallel to each other. A few times the objects seemed to rotate around each other as they moved through the sky. Their motion appeared smooth with no erratic movements during the entire event. We were not the only aircraft to see these objects, as pilots of other aircraft were broadcasting on one of our common frequencies asking if other people were seeing these lights. Early in the sighting when the objects were the brightest, it appeared as if they were within the earth’s atmosphere at an altitude that was much higher than our own. However, as time progressed the objects appeared to be more distant, having the appearance of moving stars until we could no longer see them.

I’ve seen it before but never recorded it. Pulsing orb with “solar flares” coming from it. Hovers for 15-20 mins then disappears.

The summary is pretty much it. I sometimes can’t sleep so I will look out my window and will sometimes see this object, sometimes I see plans coming and going from the airport nearby. This object struck me as different because it doesn’t move like a plane, it just hovers. It always pulses white, blue, and pink light with what looks like solar flares coming from the main body in those same colors. Sometimes it will disappear and reappear within the same second in a different area of the sky and will hover there for a while before disappearing altogether. I can’t tell if it is hovering high above Eastern Lawrence or if it is closer to Kansas City. It doesn’t behave like anything I know. My husband is a retired Army pilot and he says it freaks him out.

So ever single night orbs every I mean left going all different directions all different sizes and heights. They only come out very early like 545 to about 7 PM. After that they hardly show themselves. I go outside look up in just seconds I see them. They legit post as Stars. Your see a Star as you look for more then the a star you just looked at, starts flying threw the night sky. Damn military planes.ars flying over every day and night. How do I know cuz flew next each other and right at each other. I thought they were gonna crash at times no joke. Now theses a huge UFO thats.flown right over my house 3 times seen it 4 times. This is no orb. It's huge the speed of it I can only compare it moving a Lazer it's that fast. No sound either nothing. This thing was low too. Triangle/dimoamd shape..you could only see the outline of the shape of the craft it's self. 6 to 9 very dim Green lights made the outline. Last night the lights were circling the Craft it's self as it flew over us.. we've seen Star Link fly over our town 5 times in last 2 months. I think that's very weird giving that I've only seen that once before 2 years ago. So yea I need a documentary crew out here lol I can't get any of this on my phone camera

3 stationary larger lights in triangle shape with 5 smaller lights on the bottom

It was very foggy when my husband went outside to let our cat out. He saw the lights shaped like a triangle at a 60° angle. Three larger lights seemed to form the triangle with 4 or 5 smaller lights in between the two larger bottom lights.They were not moving. The moon could also be seen at a higher angle north of the triangle lights. We live on a small lake and there were approximately 20 or more Canadian geese right in front of our house just floating in the water and making no noise. At 6:35 A.M. my husband came and woke me up to see the lights. I went outside with him and also saw the lights. I thought they looked like Christmas lights on the peak of someone's roof. My husband pointed out that they were way too high in the sky for that. We kept going out to check them and could no longer see them by 6:50 A.M. I was able to see them better using night vision on my phone camara.

My husband said whst are you looking at? I pointed up at the bright light and told him it hadn’t moved for about 15 min. Then in the blink of an eye there was a metallic object in my face. It was about the size of our truck. It was inches away from our windshield keeping perfect pace with our truck going 84 miles per hour. It didn’t stay long then it went up and over our truck and disappeared. I looked at my husband and I said did you see that? And he said I saw that. I said what was that and he said he had no idea He doesn’t like to talk about it much but once in a while we do. We never seen anything like that. It was a clear sunny day with some high up clouds

There was a black but yet reflective basic saucer shaped UAP.

Sighting was viewed from my back yard. Visible just above the tree line looking to be but only a few city blocks away was one reflective black UAP. It zig-zagged about left to right and up and down for several minutes I'd say about 4 or 5 minutes. Then it just disappeared NOT zipping off but just diapering, poof gone!

Looked at the UFO through 15X56 Vortex Binoculars when it was very close over head and going away.

My 40-year-old son and I had met up at this point on a dirt road after we had been deer hunting. We were talking when we notice a super bright light coming from the west at a low altitude, it was moving very slow. Our first impression was that it was an airplane coming directly at us with its landing lights on. But from working on a fight line in the Air Force for several years I told my son that I had never seen lights that bright on any plane. As it got closer, I then noticed the light appeared to be surround by a small cloud. This light was so bright it was like looking at a welder's arc. Then even closer I could see the craft was creating heat and as the heat rolled away from the craft it was forming a vapor cloud around it. (No clouds in sky, only stars) At this point I guess my son got spooked and told me to turn out my trunk lights as he ran to turn out his. When I reached in to turn off my lights, I noticed my binoculars on the seat, so I grabbed them. The craft proceeded to come at us then turned South. As it came over us, the brightness of the light began to fade I could start seeing the shape of it. Looking almost straight up through my binoculars I saw a perfectly round disk. The belly was a light blue color with black looking burnt marks (stripes). It had a band of light around its circumference. Also, around the circumference, I could see heat waves going out in all directions and forming the vapor cloud around it. As it moved still slowly away, I saw what looked like a blue rocket flame shoot up at a 45degree angle from the rear. My son said he thought it was a blue laser beam. But through the binoculars I could see tiny orange dots in the flame. A few seconds later (10 or so) the craft turned sightly to the right and pointed (nose) up about 45 degrees. Then from the rear (facing us) two chevon shape orange lights lit up (like a jet exhaust) and at the same time a vapor ring came from each. The craft accelerated at a high rate, as I watched the vapor ring hit the ground and cover the field like fog. Also, I was able to see the top of the craft briefly. I was black with several humps. It climbed a couple of thousand foot then leveled off. When it leveled off, the brightness came back with the cloud around it. It then turned back headed east again and left at a super high rate. Faster acceleration than any jet plane I've ever seen.

NOTES: The whole time this craft flew over us, there was no noise. Totally silent. As far as how high the craft flew over us, I leave north of Barksdale AFB in the landing fight path of the B-52's. Judging from how high they are when they come over, I'd say the craft was about 1000 ft high. My thoughts are that the high intensity light was coming from the energy source of the craft 360 degrees around. Maybe something similar to nuclear energy. Also, there were no other lights or blinking lights.

A light moving southwest to the east then changing to a southeast heading

The light seemed to be flying through a cloud, had a haze around it and seemed to be a directional light changing where it was pointing a couple of times. I am an air traffic controller and the light was verified by a pilot but not seen by our radar services. When the light got south of the airfield it had a seemingly burst of gas the shot out in front of it like a cone shape and then the light slowly faded until it was spotted again about 30 seconds later further to the southeast looking more like a bright star while moving and faded out very rapidly after about 10 seconds and then faded again until it was no longer visible or observed.

I saw multiple ufos.

I saw anywhere from 7-10 dots of light going really fast. Faster than airplanes and they would go in one direction for about 5-6 seconds and stop and go back in the other direction. After about 5-ish minutes of watching them disappear and reappear, I saw a flash of white light in that general direction. Like if you stood on one side of a football field and I was on the other side and you flash a flashlight at me for a quarter of a second.

Shape: Light
Explanation: Rocket - Probable
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Emitted other objects

A bright light seemed to be descending with a plume constantly around it and then a large halo plume emitted before heading eastward.

We saw a (1) bright slow pulsing northern like star with a constant plume or atmospheric vapor surrounding the object, descending downward as we drove westward on KS-96 at 7:30 - 7:35p on October 13th, 2023. Right before it took off it emitted a large halo plume that appeared to be cloud height. This is currently being reported as a spaceX launch, but if that’s true, the object didn’t appear to be more then a couple thousand feet in the air. The additional spotting(s) in Oklahoma and Texas were reported later than 7:30p (closer to 8pm there) so that has me wondering if we all were seeing the same thing at the same time, or was this same aircraft being spotted later since we saw it dart off to the east? The light was a warmish white color and pulsated brighter at times, but the plume surrounding the light gave it a very “God-like” radiance.

Location details: Back porch at dusk, partially open sky

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Emitted beams

15-20 clear, metallic orbs gathered at tree line, pulsed light in unison, left together, totally silent and disappeared.

It was dusk, just around 6pm on Saturday, October 8th in Wichita, KS. I was sitting on my back patio on a beautiful early evening. Our backyard has some trees on the perimeter but is mostly clear so that the sun can shine on the pool. Out of nowhere, I noticed at our treeline, which isn't extremely high, 15-20 clear, metallic orbs that were descending lower together. The formation were lines of 3 and 4, coming down together, like Space Invaders(pardon the pun). They were not in one long chain, so this was no Starlink. I couldn't believe that I actually had time to count them or that I was seeing so many at one time. There was absolutely no sound, so this was not a drone. They were self propelled and not swaying with any wind changes, so not a balloon either. They hung there for about 5 seconds and I got the feeling that they were checking me out? Then they all started pulsating light together, nothing that hurt me and no sound with the lights. They then moved up together and disappeared. There was no trail to follow, they simply vanished. I took a video, but it is very short and difficult to view. By the time I realized that these could be UFO's the event was partially over and I was very nervous so the filming is jumpy. The video is below. You have to enlarge the video with your fingers and then move around to view the objects. At 3 seconds if you stop, enlarge and move around you will see several of them.

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Somewhat low to the ground, silent, black, with many reflective points.

Happened to be outside a little after 8pm CDST in Topeka KS. The object seemed large, black, wing shaped with many light areas, possibly street light reflections. Not bright lights. Brighter than starlight.
No sound, no bird sounds, no engine sounds. Only had a pocket flashlight on me with 130 lumens. The object was out of range, flashlight didn't help.
Object might be 300 feet above me??? The night was breezy, kind of moved like a "balloon" riding the wind currents.

The object was out of sight in about 20 seconds. Not enough time to get a larger lumen flashlight.Object seemed to be traveling SSW. It wasn't a flock of birds, but that could also be used to describe the size of the black wing.

Looking at the object as a whole, it looked like the shape was gossamer with 40 or more reflection areas/lights and black.

Small orange orb gaining very fast diagonal altitude and pausing for a second about 5 times before speeding west over head.

I noticed the object because of the rate of climb and pause. It would ascend around 2 or 3 hundred feet diagonally southward and pause for a half second. It did this a few times and then flew directly westward with no pause after it's last climb at a ridiculous speed. There was ample daylight still as it headed west, but no telltale sign of any type of aircraft body. It remained a dull orange colored orb as it flew out of sight.

Bright white dots (4 pin heads) coming up in a vertical line from ground level northwest approximately 3/4" apart traveling southeast.

Very distinct bright white solid lights which appeared slightly vertical, rectangular to horizon (4 pin heads; larger than planets, stars, aircraft) coming up individually in a very straight diagonal line from ground level approximately 3/4" apart travelling northwest to southeast. Approximately 8 in number. Within the course of 3 minutes they each disappeared sequentially at the same point roughly 1/3 high in the sky to dead center above me. I was observing stars in the Flint Hills when this occurred (i.e., no one else present). I took pictures with an iphone7 (i.e., obviously an old model) as they sequentially came up but unfortunately flash was on (i.e., can't see black sky/white objects; may be able to photoshop though I tried a couple of techniques with no success). Hadn't intended to take pictures on outing.

Silver disk hovered at cloud level near Salina, KS, midday 9/10/23. Still for 1 min, then cloud hid it. Me & dad saw, no photo. UFO?

Date: September 10, 2023
Time: Approx. 12:00–1:00 PM CDT (midday)
Location: Near Salina, Kansas (exact road unspecified, driving from a wedding)
Duration: ~1 minute (60 seconds)
Description: A silver, disk-shaped object hovered motionless at cloud level (est. 3,000–6,000 feet) under mostly cloudy skies. No sound, no shimmer—just rock-solid. After about a minute, a cloud drifted over, obscuring it before I could take a photo or video. Seen from a car (passenger seat) while driving back from a wedding.
Witnesses: Myself and my father (driver); both described it as a UFO, no other explanation fit.
Weather: Mostly cloudy, 82°F, SSE winds 5–10 mph (per Weather Underground).
Additional Notes: No movement, no lights, just sat there until hidden. Felt deliberate but could’ve been coincidence.

I spotted two objects flying fast in the same direction minutes apart.

I spotted the first object flying very straight and fast. I tried to get my co worker to see it but she did not spot it. It vanished from my sight and I was not able to get a photo. She went inside and I sat back down and looked back at the sky. I saw another object in the same spot flying in the same direction. I quickly snapped some pictures of the sky with my phone. The objects both looked the same. They were white looking in the sky. They made no sound I could hear and it was very quiet where I was. They did not appear to have wings. There was no sign of exhaust behind them. They were tic tac shaped and looked longer when I was looking at them in the sky than they do in the photos. They moved as fast as a jet plane and flew very straight and smooth. They both seemed to vanish around the same spot. There were no clouds in the sky.

Shape: Orb


Bright bluish-white orb seen for several seconds in sky, then disappears suddenly in a cloudless blue sky.

While driving southbound on E 1100 Road, south of E Hunter Rd in Kensington, KS, heading towards Agra, KS, a very bright blue-white round orb was seen in the southern sky moving from west to east. It was thought to be a plane reflecting the bright setting sun, but it then quickly faded away completely, leaving no trace. This was after about 5 seconds of observing the object. It was thought for a bit to be seeing a very wispy black or gray cloud in the same spot where the orb object had just disappeared from, also dissipating nearly immediately. This was generally a cloudless blue sky on a very hot and sunny early evening. The passenger of the vehicle stated seeing two flashes of long bright lines travelling the other direction, but that was unobserved by the driver of the vehicle and cannot be accurately described for the purposes of this report.

But this UAP was a solid bright light . I did take two videos. The second video shows the UAP behind the tree in my yard.

Rectangular object traveled east north east over head coming into view fast with a white hot light very low and then slowed down

This object was rectangular and appeared to have rear fenders. It came from behind me over my right shoulder from the west south west direction. Once it was over head it was white hot and bright but the light was on the bottom portion only and towards the rear of the object. It was traveling east north east rapidly. When it was directly in front of my view facing due east, this fast moving object then changed its speed. It noticeably slowed down to 1/20th of the speed it flew in at. After it had slowed down to a crawl comparatively, with the white light still glowing at a slow speed, the lights turned off. I could still see it in the air without light for another second. I lost sight of it after that. I do not think it is far away right now because of the slow speed, I just cannot see it in the dark. This was very low flying with a almost horizontal trajectory. I would estimate it was at most one mile above ground and perhaps only a quarter mile above surface once it slowed down by me. This is the second object in two days, but this was much lower and visible. This was a naked eye siting. I am in a rural area. Very dark and clear out tonight. I am a night time sky photographer and I sit in this spot for hours every night. I am practiced on the subject and this was the first time I have witnessed one of this shape. Again, it was very low, visible, completely quiet, and slowed its self down. Only minutes later and still now, there is a helicopter in the distance moving in a flight pattern like a grid search. I was unable to capture a picture but am including the sky as it is now.

Lighted object came from very far away, stopped suddenly, made very quick horizontal movements, then slowly moved towards us.

As I was stargazing on the dock at a private lake I just happen to see lights coming from a great distance. At first I just thought it was a plane. But it was descending and moving quite rapidly. Then it suddenly came to a stop over the west side of the lake and moved a few quick times side to side. Now it really has my attention! I call my wife and tell her just drop whatever you're doing and get out here as quick as you can. She is by my side now and the lighted object is slowly coming towards us like it's zeroed in on us. I finally get my phone that takes amazing pics at night to take a picture of it. I had my stupid flash on and it like spooked it and took off. I hurriedly turn it off and take another pic. It quickly disappeared into the far horizon sky. You could see the light still as far as the eye could see. We both exclaimed at the same time WHOA, now that was weird!! I was kicking myself for not taking any video but if you zoom in on the original photo around the bright light that looks like thrusters, you can see a circular shaped object lined with small circular lights.

The objects appear from between 2am and 4am and will appear to "dance" around the sky, changing altitude, direction and traveling at insane speeds.

The first morning I witnessed 4 of the objects together, the second morning two, and this morning I seen 3, however I was only able to get a partial picture of two of the objects before they faded away.

The objects do not appear to have any lights similar to that of aircraft also flying in the sky, as you can see airplanes in the sky with their flashing beacons where as these objects are a solid color that fades in and out as they move.

I did check multiple flight radars to see if there was a group of aircraft in or around the area where they might be flying, but nothing was found.

The fact it has occured 3 mornings in a row, either tells me its the government testing some secret aircraft near Whiteman Air Force Base, or the objects are indeed UFOs.

There were two white lights in the sky that were too low to be a plane and would change shape so knew wasn't planets.

I was driving to the locall convienenve stor and it was almost 8 pm. I seen two strange lights in the sky that were FLYING really low to be aircraft from here. I went into the gas station convienence store and mentioned the object. Several people seen the objects but they thought they were the planets we were suppose to be able to see but I though differently. When I left the gas station I seen it again so I pulled over to a side road and I got out my phone and began recordng. I filmed it for 45 seconds in one video and also two other very short videos. Watching my video play back the lights changed and I don't think they ate planets at all but I don't know what they are!

There was a circular object with 2 lights. It was hovering low. It hovered low for about 45 minutes then took off very fast.

I saw the object as i was driving home from work. It was hovering very low. It looked like a circular object with 2 bright lights on each side. Kept moving as i was driving. I then saw it hovering low and stayed in my driveway watching it. I called my neighbor and sister who lives behind me to come out and see what they thought it was. They also confirmed it was very strange and bright lights. I watched it for about 45 minutes then it took off high in the sky and went out of sight.

Location: Wichita, KS, USA
Location details: Facing north from near the 1400 block of North Charles Ave.

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

I went outside, looked north, saw one orange light start to move then another appearing to do the same, shortly after both fading.

It starts with me going outside around 9:13 P.M. (I know exact time due to video timestamp) to smoke by the river in my backyard. On the way down I see something catch my eye towards the north and I see an orange light in the sky. Ive been outside a good bit at night and I have never seen an orange orb like that in the sky (not mars or venus). It wasnt blinking either, which made me think it wasnt an aircraft. I pulled out my phone and started filming the first orb. It begins to move upwards at a slight angle for a few seconds, and then a second orb appears. The first orb fades (not sure if I get it on camera) while the second orb moves up. The second orb goes to roughly the same spot as the first, flickers gently, then fades back into the night sky.

The video has a lot of noise which is unfortunate, but I assure that there were no trails coming off of the orbs. These orbs were tens of thousands of feet in the sky, and traveling vertically. It is important to note this was a clear night, there was almost no cloud coverage whatsoever, and certainty not in the direction I was looking (north). Upon taking a screenshot of one of the videos and zooming in I can see that one of the orbs has three light sources in a triangular pattern. This is what led me to believe that it is a triangular shaped UAP, but could also be a chevron in form. I was the only one to witness it from what I can tell.

As far as how I felt during the whole thing, I would say surprisingly void of much emotion. Initially I was trying to debunk what it could possibly be, but then accepted Ive no idea and pulled out my phone to record. I wanted to take in as much information as possible, I just stood there and stared seeing what they would do and where they would go. It kind of just felt run of the mill in a way?

I do want to disclose that this was a couple weeks ago as apparent from the date, but the details are still fresh in my mind. It helps that I also have the video to jog my memory as well as show what I saw. I did not initially report it because I wanted to see if something was on the news or if someone else perhaps saw thae same thing and it was debunked.

Seeing as its important I will always give some details about myself. I am a 22 year old college student who also works a part time job as a technicians assistant. I am one to frequent being outside at night and especially looking towards the stars, even using an app to help memorize locations of planets and constellations. To put it one way, I do believe that there are things that we do not fully understand as humans however, I am not quick to assume these things either. If I see something unfamiliar in the night sky I am much quicker to pull out my phone to see if its rocket debris, a planet, etc. before I assume its a UAP. This has happened before and every time Ive found something to explain it, but this one I could not. This looks different than anything I have seen before, and I am convinced these objects were UAPs.

Video 6501 is the first, 6502 is the second, and image 6504 is a screenshot from 6502.

For several days I and sometimes my children have seen a light that hovers in Douglas County off Farmers Turnpike (N 1800 Rd)

I throughout my life have seen UFO's and they do not scare me as I find them fascinating. Lately since March 2022 I have seen objects above Douglas county while driving on Farmers Turnpike. Not every day but enough that my children have been in the car with me and have seen them as well. The object has it's own white light source and doesn't move from it's seemingly stationary place. The object has had a halo around it and sometimes it fades out to nothing and other times it moves off quickly. I have seen it no less than 8 times since March and it always seems to be in the same area. I have seen it anywhere from 5 pm to 9 pm. I normally wont report anything but I was talking to a co-worker who said they saw something similar to what I saw when they were in Lawrence. I have heard this from several other people in the area so maybe it may be something that should be on your radar. I have a picture on my phone from one of the times but I can't zoom in very well on the object but when I do it looks like it is a double image or two objects. The photo was taken heading W on N 1800 Rd at the cross of E 1000 Rd in Douglas County, Kansas. The object in the photo was the first one that I had seen as my daughter took the picture. The objects that I am seeing are bright and located in Northern Douglas county North of Lawrence. They look round to the naked eye and do not have any colors or trails. They are fast when they move and I have seen on one occasion it seemingly fly up away from the small planes that come from the Lawrence airport.

Thought to have been an air plane until it came closer to my house. Slowed down. Descended to around 20/30 above tree line.

Open the living room curtains to see if the winter weather had started, we were expected to have ice and wet drizzly stuff. Notice what I thought was a plane west of my house. As it started to come closer I realized it was a ball of fire almost in the shape of I kid you not a stingray. As it got to the actual city of maize it's slowed down and descended to about 30 to 50 ft above tree level. And when I'm looking up it is just fiery substance. No actual lights that I could tell and no other material that I could tell. It has no sound.I go to get my camera and as soon as I snap the photo it's gone past my house. I run inside to tell my husband who is asleep and at that point I'm shaky and almost in tears. I calm down for a couple seconds decide to go look out my back window which is facing East and there it is. And coming towards it is an actual airplane. So I run and get my husband and tell him to come see within the 30 to 45 seconds it took us to get there it was gone. And the plane was gone.
My eyes after seeing this thing hurt for the rest of the evening into the next night.
I'm still trying to understand the materials of it's being and why slow down above my house until I try to get a picture.

saw a floating transparent white orb that for really bright then disappeared in broad daylight

As I was talking to my father on the phone while walking my dogs in a small field near my apartment I looked up and noticed a white transparent orb in the sky. I couldn't tell if it was moving but it definitely looked out of place. I didn't think much of it at first then the more I looked at it the more confused I got. It appeared to be much higher in the sky than an airplane, but the size of it would be much bigger than an airplane. It also didn't make any sound. I continued looking at it to see if it would move (maybe to see if it was a weather balloon or a drone). But it was also very windy that day so if it was any sort of balloon it would be moving around rather quickly. The object I saw appeared to be still or hovering. Then as I continued looking at it the object almost appeared to turn or shift. And as it turned or shifted it got really bright. But not light on an airplane bright or star bright. It was as if it was a very bright reflection off of a shiny metallic surface. This was especially odd to me because of how far away the object appeared in the sky. It was even almost difficult to look at but I kept my eye on it as long as I could (2-3 minutes maybe). Then my dog pulled me in a different direction so I looked down to see what she was doing. It couldn't have been more than 3-5 seconds then once I looked up the object was gone without even a trace of where it was. I looked for about 15 minutes in the sky after it disappeared to see if I was maybe just overlooking it or to see if it would show up again. But I saw nothing else. And this was on a perfectly sunny mid-afternoon day where there were few clouds in the sky. So it would have been easier to track something down if it had moved in the sky. Unfortunately I didn't capture anything on my phone camera because I was on the phone with my father and processing what I had just seen. The final thing I noticed is this time of year birds are flying around everywhere as they prepare to fly south for the winter. But during this sighting there was nothing in the sky or even anywhere near where I was looking. I didn't think this was odd until I thought about the two times I took my dogs out before the sighting and the next time after the sighting when birds were flying everywhere and making noises. There was none of this during the sighting. But that could have also been a coincidence or me just not paying attention to anything but the object I saw in the sky.

On the way to topeka from Lawrence I spotted two egg shaped floating with no sounds one hid in the clouds going down then up slowly.

Was heading to topeka and I had been watching the sunset and I had noticed that there were 2 egg shaped shiny objects in the sky. One was going up and then a second one came down almost like a elevator in it's motion. Before I could grab my camera and get a picture one of them disappeared into the clouds moving a little faster as though it had realized that it was being observed. I was unable to get a picture of the first one. Then I seen the 2nd one coming from the clouds as I was getting back into the vehicle. I grabbed my camera and it was below the treeline for a couple of seconds and then slowly decended towards the clouds where the other one was barely out of sight of my camera. It was trying to remain hidden in the clouds and as they moved the ship corresponding with movement of the clouds to stay hidden. It was like it was aware that it was seen because it was originally decending down until I stopped and got out of the vehicle and it stopped and went back into the clouds. The 2nd one was on its way down. Neither of them had any blinking lights on them but they were both a shiny silvery color. They maintained the straight line going up or down like it was an elevator or a transport pod of some kind. There were no vapor trails and had a strange hovering like I had never seen. I came across a documented sighting in the same area same day that was a formation on nuforc and I had remembered that I had seen these two egg shaped objects that silently went in a vertical path between ground and the sky. Only one of them had made it to the ground while the other was trying to remain hidden in clouds.

Seen a bright perfectly circular pulsating object in the sky disappearing and reappearing ... But was disappearing and reappearing to the left and right, up and down in the same little area... So I started recording it on my phone. It looked like a really bright star pulsating before it starts to fall. But when I zoomed in on it, it was perfectly circular and was not pulsating but looked as if it was spinning in circles extremely fast that it looked like it was pulsating

It looked like round disks along leading edges that had more of a reflection type glow.

Object made no sound.

Object made left no trail.

Hard to say altitude as we had been staring at stars as they became more visible.

As it went over I said I hoped you saw what I just saw….glad she said yes!

The one behind it, looked different. Unfortunately, I only got a couple of photos and didn't think of taking a video, I really was surprised that I got any photos at all.
