Orbs waving

As me and a neighbor were looking up for the Flame Nebula, I was watching this orb waving around in one direction for about 10 seconds before I realized what I was even witnessing. I could only snap this last second video because I was in awe and never thought I’d ever see one in person. A second orb not shown in the video came from the side and fainted away after the second orb. Absolutely no sound came from the orb

2 orb like craft was flying towards New Jersey. The ufos were going so fast that before I even could take my camera out it was gone

The two UFO aircraft appeared to be flying towards New Jersey at an extreme speed! It almost looked like 2 stars flying together that’s how bright it was. And the emotional feeling of witnessing that was unlike anything else.

I saw 2 triangle shaped craft moving very slowly 20 ft above the treetops

A friend of mine was visiting at my house and stepped outside for a few minutes. He began yelling for me to come see these two triangle shaped crafts hovering above my backyard, about 20 feet above the tree tops. They were moving ever so slowly and seem to go in and out of each other. There was a bright white light that was constantly on in the front of the craft and a blinking red light at the rear. They hovered about a minute or two moving slowly and all of a sudden went straight up in the air in an instant like it was going to speed of light and completely disappeared. It really freaked me out.

Orb or sphere with erratic movement brighter than stars and multiple lights after viewing through binoculars

The observed object looked like a very bright star that was moving in an erratic pattern above a mountain ridge. After checking for registered flight/ drone/ weather balloon activity and all coming back negative, the object was filmed and with the help of magnification turned out to be an unfamiliar shape. It had a spherical body with bright lights around it. It stayed visible for around 8 minutes before moving further NNW and dropping behind a mountain ridge, cutting line of sight.

Object size and distance are hard to discern. But the exact shape was visible through binoculars.

UFO Seen in Franklin TN

This was the second time in the past month I have seen these. Last night I let my dog out front and while I was standing out there with I heard a very loud sound from the sky, but could tell didn’t really sound like an airplane probably because how close it was. And then out of nowhere this huge UFO came over my house flew. Little further horizontally then all the sudden I saw it descending straight down like a vertical line. Then it disappeared. It was soooo big that I don’t think it could be a drone. It was the size of like 3 or 4 cars put together .

Characteristics: Lights on object

Ovular white light, pulsating in intensity, maybe 100 ft above the tree line.

I was driving and saw an ovular-shaped bright pulsating light just above the tree line off to my right. Imagine a bright, thin oval.. kind of like an LED bar that you might see on the front of a car, but it was one solid light, slowly pulsating in intensity in the air. As a Navy veteran who used to pilot a ship every day and stand lookout, I am very familiar with the running lights and headlights required for air craft. Having seen other ufo’s and uso’s while at sea, mostly off the coast of San Diego, I can say this one was unique to all of those.

Observed a white orb traveling through blue skies

Last night,Sunday June 23, 2024. I was sitting in our backyard taking a break from screens, enjoying the fact that there was a breeze and respite from the heat, as the weather had cooled tremendously from the previous many days. Our two dogs were hanging out with me, lounging. My family was in the house. I was seated facing west and just woolgathering. Birds were singing. The sky was perfectly blue with just a few random clouds. The sun was in the west just behind the trees, and there was still more than an hour before it even appeared to be dusk. As I was looking at the sky, I noticed a white something, appeared spherical, and was exceedingly bright white, almost hard to look at. It's like it wasn't there, and then it was. The object moved purposefully, it wasn't floating. No trails, no wings, just a bright white dot. It appeared to stop for just a split second and there was a flash of light, extremely bright. Then it continued on its path south for a quick moment and winked out and could no longer be seen. It was there, then it wasn't.

This is my second sighting in two years,both reported here. The experiences were nothing alike, other than both times I was in my backyard alone, nearing dusk, with our good dogs.I wonder if it's because I'm often looking up at the sky?

I am a mom of two young men, in a relationship of 23 years, and work as an independent music promoter and booking agent, from home. I dabble in vintage with a booth at a local shop and volunteer for community events. Average everyday people, that's us.

Location details: Several hundred feet above the tree line - along rt. 140 and over the CVS w. Central St.

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Silent low flying small saucer shaped craft

I first noticed a bright orange light while traveling on Rt. 140 from Bellingham towards Franklin. While stopped at a red-light on the highway bridge I noticed the light traveling over the tree-line towards the center of town. The light was bright enough that as I got closer to it I could see it and track it clearly through the trees. Way too low to be a plane and I rolled down the window to see if I could hear a helicopter (it was silent). I watched it fly fast above the trees about a half mile then stop (hover) somewhere between a shopping plaza and beaver st. I arrived at my destination at CVS and I could still see the light- I was closer and noticed there was an orange light in the center and a blinking green light on one side and a blinking red light on the other. The craft then started moving again but directly towards me (standing in the CVS parking lot) slowly. It passed over my head then over the roof of CVS and even through the glare of the CVS lights I was able to make out grey circular shape around the lights. It was hard to tell how large it was because I couldn't really tell how high up in was maybe 100 ft over the roof of the CVS and roughly the size of a small car. I was freaked out when I saw the craft shape and went into the CVS when I came back out two minutes later I could no longer find the craft. It was completely silent I could not even hear a drone propeller. The sky was also clear very few clouds.

Shape: Cigar
Characteristics: Changed Colo

Shiny silver cigar craft with a clear blue sky. Had 2 very small wings like a government drone but hovered and disappeared.

Driving south into Franklin on Franklin Rd, look to my left and see what looked to be a silver, cigar shaped aircraft that was extremely shiny and appeared to have 2 small wings with no tailwing. It must have been as large as a passenger aircraft. Seen directly over the Harpeth river and it must have been at least 25-30,000 feet up. It was briefly moving at about 100-200mph but then stopped, and began hovering in the sky. It left no trail. That is when I stopped my car on the side of the road to get a better view of it, rolled down my window and as I pulled out my phone to take a video, the craft slowly faded out of existence. This was a 5 second process where i could literally see the craft fade into the sky like it was slowly putting on an invisibility cloak. During this process, the craft was hovering and was not turning in any direction.

Hovering bright light with satellite lights expelling from it

At 4:11 am, I noticed a very bright, clear light moving through the sky. At first I thought it might be a plane but then realized it was moving far too fast. I woke my husband up when I noticed it began hovering in mostly the same spot, with the exception of some zigzagging for the next two hours until we could no longer see it with the morning light. The entire time, other smaller lights appeared to emanate and break away from the larger light source. Some leaving at a high rate of speed until vanishing and others circling nearby before returning. The main light source was also disappearing and re-emerging in the same spot. We aren’t sure if that was from clouds obscuring our vision but the sky seemed mostly clear to us. At times, there appeared to be some type of spot light or haze coming from the main source of light.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Emitted other objects

I went outside for a smoke a bit late at night, went outside, closed the front door, looked above me and saw it.

it was a clear cold night in NH. I told my fiancee i was stepping outside for a cigarette. i got my coat on and went to the front door. opened it, went outside, closed the door, and i looked directly at the sky, like i normally do when going outside at night, since i love staring at the stars. theres a tree directly in front of our deck where we lived (we since moved back home up north where family is) i looked right at the tip of the tree toward the sky and saw this massive black, greyish, silent triangle. it was moving west, id say about 30 mph. it was about 150-200 feet above where i was outside on the deck. it moved silently across the sky. it had small white/cream colored lights and as the base of the triangle shaped craft was about to dissapear above the trees, i noticed 3 large circular blue colored lights, they reminded me of engines of some sort, almost as if the craft itself resembled the Imperial Star Destroyer from Star Wars. thats the closest explanation i could give to similarities that we are familiar with. i was a bit shocked and ran back inside to tell my fiancee what i had just seen. (ive seen a similar craft in fairbanks, alaska in the winter of January 2013, it was further away and dissapeared into the air it seems at 8:20 PM) i did not chase it, although i regret not doing so now. I wish i took photos of it. i continue to watch the skies more carefully now.

Looked like fire in the sky. Objects moving too slow to meteor or comment. Kept disappearing and reappearing every 5 or so minutes.

My roommate and I were driving down 65 south toward the shelbyville exit 91. When my roommate said “Look, the sky is on fire.”. We kept driving and got off the highway and turned left on state road 43 toward Shelbyville IN. The objects disappeared once we were off the Highway but then returned. This went on for about 20 minutes of them appearing and disappearing coming back with larger proportions and often splitting from one object to two. We pulled over in a corn field to study the sky and then the object after appearing for the 4th time disappeared and never came back.

This craft seemed to stay floating in one spot and did not move. It vanished for a few seconds and seemed to change shape.

At first it looked like it was a massive star, but the size of that light was an anomaly. It’s position in the sky would not have made sense for it to have been a star. It was too far down and i live in a city so light pollution makes it hard to see any stars. It did not move in a pattern consistent with a plane or helicopter. It was very large and EXTREMELY bright white light. It moved in irregular patterns and would vanish then reappear before evolving into a much smaller light and zig zagging into nothing. I noticed other cars braking in the road. Two street lights were affected (the hue of the lightbulb) and i believe 3 other cars seemed to noticed. I do experience these situations often. This was my 3rd time seeing something similar. I have had many sightings. Particularly when looking through Snapchat filters. Unfortunately, i was driving and missed some of the time in the video attached. I have had a similar experience in the same area where a long period of time was lost. This was also in the company of the same people i was with for this sighting.

Location: Franklin, IN, USA
Location details: My backyard, older suburban neighborhood near city center

Shape: Circle


Observed doughnut shaped craft moving over my yard with excellent visibility conditions.

Early evening Aug. 6, approximately 7:30pm, I was in my backyard along with our two dogs. My son was in his bedroom, my fiance was dozing in our room. The sky was clear and really stunning, with gigantic thunderheads south of us and a bright moon. In the west the sun was going down but the view was absolutely clear, birds were still singing. Beautiful evening, very still and peaceful. I decided to water all of our potted plants and fill the birdbaths despite a chance of rain. As I walked to the rear of our property, I saw an object moving over our neighbor's trees. It was about the altitude of a private plane, maybe a bit lower, and I could see it very clearly although I had no idea what it was and my brain was just trying to make sense of it. It was a black and thick round disc, looked metallic but not shiny. Graphite came to mind. It moved slowly, silently and *deliberately*. It floated with intent. It came over the trees like a frisbee, but then turned on its side like a wheel, and I could see a hole in the middle, like a doughnut. It kind of undulated when it turned to its side. I was transfixed and everything was just silent for many minutes. Suddenly I came to my senses and ran as fast as I could to the house to grab my phone from the charger. I ran back out trying to get my phone started up and pull up my camera. By that time (seconds had passed) the object had turned due north, oriented like a frisbee again, and had moved with high speed away, to where I could not find it in my camera viewfinder. Then it was a speck, then gone. I was flooded with adrenaline and realizing I'd seen something I'd never ever expected to see. I then had an overwhelming feeling of foreboding and uneasiness, and thought to myself "I hope it didn't see me watching it".
I came in and told my son, who then pulled up a number of YouTube videos, photos, of "black doughnut UAPs". They were exactly what I saw over my yard, although I had no knowledge of that shape prior to my sighting. I've told very few people, and with trepidation.

About me: I consider myself an open minded individual. I am a mom of two nearly-grown sons, age 57, hold a bachelor's degree, am involved with community events and sit on a board for a local nonprofit, and started my own small business in the arts during the pandemic. I'm imaginative but not delusional. I was one hundred percent sober, awake and fully cognizant. I've always been a sky-watcher and find the subject of UAPs/UFOs fascinating and completely plausible. I'm glad that the evidence is finally recieving the grave scientific attention that is warranted.

Side note: the dogs made themselves scarce, I did not notice them near me or any interaction between them at that time.

NUFORC Note:

MADAR DATA

Twenty miles to the north of Franklin is site MADAR site 21 at Indianapolis. The data from that site shows that the dataprobe had a system recalibration at exactly 23:30:20 UTC, or 7:30 pm EDT! Right before that, at 23:27:18 UTC (9:27 pm) site 21 had a significant spike of 11.25 milligaus during that minute. Unfortunately there was no variation or MSV (multi-sensor verification) with the onboard compass. The only thing that comes to mind as a possibility for the sighting was a drone, but there was no sound ever reported from the object and when it turned at right angles and the "doughnut hole" appeared a drone would have "peeled" towards the observer. and lost altitude, The MADAR correlation would have been too much of a coincidence, the highest magnetometer reading on the page.Last but not least, since this would have been a "probe" of some sort, the parent craft could have been anywhere near Franklin or Indy and there were a couple of spikes of 7.5 milligaus at 23:23:18 UTC and 23:25:18 UTC preceding the event.

III. STATUS OF INVESTIGATION

08/06/2022 - sighting
09/18/2022 - witness filed a report with nuforc
12/20/2022 - CIR filed with nuforc
12/20/2022 - Contact information received from nuforc
01/02/2023 - Interview by CCO, conclusions below.

IV. CONCLUSIONS

After the sighting she was flooded with adrenaline and realizing she'd seen something she'd never ever expected to see. She then had an overwhelming feeling of foreboding and uneasiness, and thought to herself, "I hope it didn't see me watching it'. She then went inside and told her son, who then pulled up a number of YouTube videos, photos, of "black doughnut UAPs". They were exactly what she had seen over her yard, although she had no knowledge of that shape prior to her sighting. She considers herself an open minded individual. She is a mom of two nearly-grown sons, age 57, holds a bachelor's degree, is involved with community events and sits on a board for a local nonprofit, and started her own small business in the arts during the pandemic. At first, the interview suggested the time of the event was 7:24 - 7:26 in that range, and that is a closer guess. The CCO tried to get a idea of how she knew the event time and she advised it was 7:30 when she entered her house at that point she noticed the time. The event duration was not 10 minutes as she states in the NUFORC report. In her words time kinda stood still and it seemed like ten minutes. From the interview the CCO thinks it was at the most a one minute event and he was being way generous. He thinks 7:27 pm would be more of an exact event time based on the interview. He based this exact time on the fact she knew it was close to 7:30, she saw the object, observed it pass overhead slowly, then thought she would run into the house and get her phone to take photos. Once she returned it had sped up at a high rate of speed as it was nothing more than a speck in the sky and her camera could not see the object at that distance. No photos, he does think she could have taken a photo and possibly saw the speck in the sky but she didn't try. With what she told him, the time frame for all of the above to occur he believes 7:27 is a close exact time. This object came over a neighbors old tree, proceeded over her property , south to north, he would guess the altitude to be 600 - 1000 ft, rather close sighting. She estimated the size as her holding a half dollar at arms length. Disposition: Case closed - UAP at close encounter range.

Reported: 2022-07-09 21:27 Pacific
Duration: About 1 minute and 15 sec
No of observers: 0

Location: Franklin, OH, USA
Location details: The unknown object was travelling from Northwest Germantown toward Cincinnati.

Shape: Orb
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

It was a glowing red orb with a tail, then it stopped and was a fuzzy red ball. There were no other colors.

I saw a red glowing light, which I thought was a missile of some kind. It was flying rapidly from the direction of Germantown, Ohio in a Southeast direction toward Cincinnati, Ohio. It stopped at a certain point and stayed there. I ran in to notify a facebook friend to try and get a witness, but it was gone when I ran back out. I’m living in the most Western part of Franklin, Ohio, in Franklin Township. That’s all I know except that it was all red and not travelling in a perfectly straight line, but first straight, then it turned Westward and came to a stop. It was there and stopped for about 30 seconds before I thought to get a witness.

Saw a white triangle flying through blue sky and clouds making no sound.

I leaned back and looked out our chalet wall of glass and immediately noticed a small white triangle shaped air craft. It was moving in the opposite direction of the cloud movement. It was moving SSW. I jumped to my feet after seeing it for a couple seconds and opened front door and stepped outside to listen for noise. I heard no noise from a jet or other sound from air craft. It simply disappeared behind the clouds.

Reported: 2022-02-11 16:03 Pacific
Duration: approx 1-2 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Franklin, VA, USA
Location details: Rural area. Clear, blue sky with very few clouds.

Shape: Circle


Roundish object spotted moving in a steady, straight line. Very high up in the sky. No contrail, no wings. Disappeared unexpectedly.

My daughter and I were taking a walk on a dead-end road that runs behind our home in rural Southampton County a few hours ago. Beautiful warm day, slightly windy, and blue skies. Little wisps of clouds here and there, but mostly clear. The road we walk on has trees along each side of the road here and there, but the area we spotted this object in was right above our heads with an unobstructed view. About five minutes into our walk my daughter, who is slightly behind me, says, "What is that?". I turned to look at her, and she was pointing up in the sky. I looked up and spotted what to me looked like a round object at a great distance in the sky, almost directly above us. It looked white-ish in color and was clearly moving. I think the direction it was heading was south. It didn't appear to be lit-up/illuminated. My first thought was that maybe it was a bag, or balloon, that was caught way up there in the wind somehow. However, I'm certain it wasn't since it was moving in a perfect straight line, no wobbling or bobbing, and moving at a steady clip in the same direct line. It was clearly moving, but it wasn't zooming along at a super-fast speed either. It's distance in the sky was very high—I can only say it was higher than any bird I've seen fly, and low enough we would have seen wings had it been an airplane. Neither of us saw airplane wings or tail, and there was absolutely no contrail behind it. We see planes all the time when we walk. We saw several today after our sighting. (We have been walking this road for almost five years now and have never seen anything out of the ordinary.) So, I was studying this object for a good minute, trying to understand what I was looking at, and saw no wings, no tail, and more importantly, no contrail at all. It was moving at a steady pace in the same direction, and I decided to try to get a picture of it on my cell. I looked away for roughly 10-15 seconds to open my camera app. Apparently, my daughter took her eyes off it for a few seconds as well, because I hear her say, “Where did it go?? I don’t see it!”. I immediately looked up, figuring it was probably further along and she was just having trouble putting her eyes on it. I tried to spot it but was unable to. I looked all over the sky, and it was nowhere to be seen. Based on its speed, I am certain of about how far along it should have been based on how long I looked away, but there was nothing to find. The sky was clear where we were looking, so no way it could have blended in with the clouds. All I know is there is no way possible it had enough time, moving at the speed it was going, to clear our area and get completely beyond our view, in that amount of time. The rest of the walk we kept an eye out, but never saw it again. We saw several planes, at varying heights in the sky, and all were immediately recognizable for what they were—and all had contrails! I asked my daughter her observations about what we had seen, and we agreed on all points except one slight variation in her perception of the shape of the object. To me it was round-ish (it was too far away for me to tell if it was perfectly round). My daughter said that while she agrees it looked round-ish as well, to her it looked like ‘a fat arrowhead’. Her words. Her eyes are a lot younger than my own, so I’m assuming she could probably see it a shade better than I could.

Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Made a sound, Animals reacted

Loud whooshing noise craft flew over.

I was on my ex gf cabin porch at night sitting with my dogs. All of a sudden it seemed like every dog and coyote within miles were either barking or howling all at once. My dogs were going nuts. Out of nowhere a completely dark very large craft drifted over the house moving at what seemed 10 to 15 mph smoothly. It seemed so large that it blocked the moonlight as it flew over. It made a strange whooshing noise like no other flying craft I have ever heard. But the noise was only while it was right above the house. I did not hear the craft coming or leaving. It was so low that the large trees were shaking and it seemed to kind of rumble the house. My dogs retreated inside terrified and as quickly as the craft arrived it was gone and then there was complete silence for a min. Which if you live in the woods you know there is always noise. This was silence, no frogs, no crickets, no cicadas, nothing. It was the wildest experience with a ufo I’ve ever had. Just typing this story has every hair on my body standing up.

Estimated Speed: Slowly rotating as seen in video
Explanation: Starlink - Certain
Characteristics: Lights on object

Horizontal succession of 6-7 lights in a row that seem to be revolving, so the dots of light were moving left to right

I saw the linear lights in the sky to the north of my house while walking the dog. I walked home (3min walk approx) with my eyes fixed on the lights above. I told my husband and daughter about it, and we all went outside so I could show them what I saw and they were still there!!!!! There were up to 7 lights we could see at a time. They were horizontal, all equal distanced apart and they moved as if they were rotating from the left to the right. To explain further, by rotating I mean that at the time the 7th light on the right would disappear, another would pop up like clockwork, equal distanced apart from the rest, on the left. They were above the tree line but very easy to distinguish and didn’t seem too terribly far away but I’m certain they were higher than we could tell. ***Video description: look in the sky in the right top portion of the video.

Large flat black rectangular shape just hanging in sky.

My husband and I were driving north on S 76th St between W Forest Hill and W Rawson Ave and I noticed this large, flat, black rectangular object just hanging in the sky. It was pretty big. It was not moving except for turning sideways or straight up and back again. There were no lights on it. I said to my husband to look but he was driving and couldn’t see it. I kept watching it until some trees got in the way. Once we passed the trees it was gone. There was no wind at the time either. It happened so fast I didn’t get pictures. Weird!

Franklin Ohio October 2020

3 of us were on the porch at 10:00 pm looking at the skys as we do every night. No drinking or drugs involved. I was taking pictures with my night vision camera phone of the sky.I saw nothing.Then I turned around again and saw this bright star looking thing that was white bright glowing object about, a street over.We live in the country. Then it moves to the left. My family said, it's a plane. I said, it's not moving, it's not a plane. So they kept laughing at me until it disappeared. It re-appeared farther away and dipped down behind houses then suddenly it rose up and lit up lights that circled around it, that's when I snapped a picture again but my camera hesitates on night vision and it got it, but it didn't get the whole craft. I got 2 different pictures of lights that were red and a picture of the clouds where you can see something huge and red in the clouds. Then it left. This is happening almost evening Every night here. I just didn't believe myself until last night.

The color red that appears on my pictures is quite different quality of light. It's not a color I've ever seen before. The brightness is like a star brigbt. If that makes any sense.I have pictures but of course they aren't the best.

Could not tell how thick or tall. Then it seem that a bright spot light appeared it came from under the craft. As It fell from under the craft I saw it was a orb of some kind. I was freaking me out at the time did not know if it was going to come towards me or if I should call the Police, Air Force, ? then I thought they were going to think I was crazy. The orb then went done the river south towards the lake made a lite humming and static sound . The big craft would keep going North up the river no sound that was spooky and it went out of site. I been afraid to say anything to anyone I know. Have not to this day said anything.

At around 2:40 Am I went outside and saw a line of lights in a line in the sky. At first I thought it must be a reflection on the clouds but then it moved very slowly in the direction of the next town over. The lights seemed to be oval shaped and had a slight wobble, there were 6 of them very close together. From my perspective, I assumed they were part of the same object. I watched for a few minutes and then it disappeared.

Exited sun glint off of a satellite.

Object appeared to be a satellite moving from southwest to northeast. When object west about 60 degrees up from the horizon and west/northwest of my location, there was a bright light shining in my direction for about two seconds. I am a military/commercial pilot retired after 41 years and over 12,000 hours of flying. Probably half of my time is at night.

The light looked like a sun glint. Could it have been a brief sun reflection off of a satellite like the Hubble? The angle to the sun below the horizon could explain it. Except for the two second flash, the time of travel from overhead to the horizon was about one minute.

I saw a big ball of orange light moving in the sky. It looked like it was moving rapidly up and down. My brother also noticed the light and we saw it was much different than the normal types of objects you would see in the sky. This was no star, it wasn’t the sun. It also seemed to change to a greenish color after a few seconds. My dog perked up when he saw it and began to back away from the window. He did not come out of his crate until we fed him dinner. Then, after about a minute, it disappeared into thin air.

Saw two craft last night from my backyard. Although the sky was overcast they were in clear sight of stars and a black night sky. The crafts were oval in shape and lights were a blue hue spinning very quickly around the crafts. The craft to the left of the sky was moving in an unusual pattern left to right in a zig zag like pattern before it just vanished. The second craft was off to the right moving towards the first when it arrived to the exact location of the first craft. It then slowly descended behind the tree line all the while red and white lights flashing. There was absolutely no sound whatsoever from either craft.

Growing up on military bases and relocating from a very large military community in VA I would know how to recognize the sounds of military aircraft. I do believe the second craft was a man made craft although I could hear no sound. There tends to be a lot of activity in my area. I just discovered this reporting page today. I will keep you posted.

A friend and I were on our smoke break In Franklin, Tn (near Nashville), when we noticed a flying white object in the sky. It looked like to could have 3 wings around the circle object but it was moving too fast to see.

We first saw these white fluffly things falling from the sky is what made us look up when we noticed the flying white object. It was going too fast to be a plane or helicopter. It was going all over the sky.

We first thought we were seeing things, but we were out there for about 15 mins and it was still flying around.

I am not sure what this could have been, so I decided to search google that’s when I found your website.

We took several videos on our phones.

In September of 2018, after obtaining fuel at the Duck-In, while driving slowly southward on Deleware Road toward Camp Parkway (Virginia Route 58 Business), my son and I saw a very shiny vertical cylindrical object hovering in the clear blue sky very near Franklin, Virginia. After sighting it for approximately twenty-seconds, it started cloaking itself from my right to my left in vertical increments, one vertical section at a time, until it was fully cloaked and no longer visible.

Red/Orange Shapeshifting Object Spotted and Flew Away

Object appeared out of nowhere, and steadied over the tree line facing southeast. Within minutes, it was changing colors (from orange to white, to blood red, to yellow and even hints of purple). Green was also emitting at certain moments. There was no definite shape to the "object" and a red aura was noticed by three witnesses around it.

Random spots of red, shapeshifting objects were spotted coming out of the main object itself, which we caught via photographs. With the main object, there were three smaller objects progressing around and from it.

After about 25 minutes of moving at a slower speed and changing shape, the object zoomed off into the sky within seconds, disappearing into the sky.

Multiple craft, flying both n formation & on their own for about 2 hours, with 2 huge triangles & one box shaped craft shining a beam.

There were multiple craft seen almost in every direction for 2 hours or more. It was unbelievable. There were craft flying in formation, there were craft hovering, there was single UFOs at times that would go from sitting still to shooting off at great speeds. There was also tons of airplanes in the area that looked like they were flying in search grids it looked like & that went on for about an hour or more and then died down & went back to a normal minimal amount of air traffic.

I was with my brother & his two sons & we all saw most of the activity. I say most of the activity because my nephews are quite young & would excitedly just look around in all directions & not quite focusing on specific parts of the sky at times, but I know they saw quite a bit of the unusual activity.

I have watched the sky for many years looking for anomalous activity & would be lucky to see one unusual light in the sky for just a few seconds before, but this amount of activity f! or the duration of time tonight was beyond mind blowing. My brother and I were like two excited kids as all this happened tonight.

Aircraft flew north over home towards Jacksonville Illinois. About half as far up as jet liners, large flying V shape. Had a north/north west flight path. Flying much slower than jetliners. A jet liner flew over about 5 minutes after it, approx same path but much higher and louder than the V shaped aircraft. The V-shaped craft had only a slight rumble. Not nearly as loud as a Jet liner. Aircraft left no Con trail unlike the Jet liner.

Shape: Formation


Orbs in Northern NJ

Last night at 6:45 PM EST, my wife and I were driving to dinner towards Sparta on Route 517 in Sussex County, NJ, about 1 mile east of Route 23. We were driving southwest, when we noticed a formation of orange/red lights in the sky to the south of us. There appeared to be between 15-20 individual light flying in formation about a quarter-mile from our location and about 300-400 feet from the ground.

The lights were flying in formation, but they also flew at varying speeds, with some lights overtaking others or flying around them. The string of lights stretched back about 1000 feet, and formed some shapes as they flew past such as triangles or squares. No other lights could be seen, such as would be required on aircraft or even drones.

I rolled down the window, but did not hear any sounds of ultra-light aircraft or drones. They moved too fast to be lanterns, approximately 40-50 MPH on a night with no wind.

I couldn't pull over in time to take a video of them, and by the time I could stop they were too far away heading northeast. I am very familiar with all types of aircraft and I could not identify these lights.

I've also spoken with friends who are pilots and they are stumped as well.

Large and slow moving object

I was sitting on front patio when I noticed something overhead causing a shadow to cast over my home as I look up to the sky there is an object slowly moving directly above me. The only thing I can compare its size to is the size of a football field. It was very dark rectangle in shape and made no noise. It did have 3 straight lines of white non blinking led looking lights evenly placed on the underside, there were 6 to 7 lights on each of the 3 lines of non blinking lights. I watched it slowly move toward 441 highway going south towards Franklin NC when I lost sight of it possibly from mountain interference. When the object was gone from sight it was a clear sky again with stars and moon visible. This occurrence happened at the base of the Cowee mountains

My son and I were at the end of my driveway, watching the sw sky because we thought we had seen a fireball on the 11th and he says there it is. We watched as a dim light moved slowly toward a tree line, then did a 90 degree turn in mid air and just flew the other way.

We lost vision as it entered the tree line. It flashed as it turned and flew away. It looked just like a ball of light.

Went outside to take a night walk and noticed it was starting to lightning and sprinkle. We looked into the sky to see how frequent the lightning was and noticed a floating light moving across the sky from low in the south southwest horizon in a low arc and disappearing in the north northeast sky at about a 35 degrees above the horizon.

The light looked like a single flickering flame and was moving about like an airplane would fly, but there was no noise and they were just below the clouds.

After we noticed the first one, there were 6 more that came behind it, perfectly spaced apart in the same arc.

At around 10.30, I headed upstairs to bed (following a dismal packers game) and saw the same bright multi colored light in the air that I reported on 10-24-16. Appears to be above I 94 near Racine/Caledonia, Wisconsin, border. This light appears to be many times brighter than any other object (excluding the moon) in the sky. This was not an aircraft since the light never moved from its original position. Object continually shifts colors (red, blue, white) like a colidascope.

White flashing light seen over the I94 interstate. Caledonia/Racine WI

Woke up at about 1:00 am and saw a bright light to the south of my home. The light was as bright as an aircraft landing light however this light remained stationary in the sky and flashed rapidly (several times per second) shifting colors (white, red blue/green). It appeared to be several miles away from my house and probably 1000-2000 feet above the ground. The flashing lights remained in its location for 2+ hours. From this position I would estimate the light to be directly above the I-94 interchange on the north end of Racine/Caledonia WI.

I was watching the RNC on tv when I heard a loud humming noise. I listened as it got louder and louder. It got so loud that I couldn't hear the tv.

At first I thought it was thunder in the distance but as it came closer to the house i truly believed it was either a tornado or plane crashing into the house. It was a clear night and the moon was full so I knew it wasn't bad weather.

I ran outside as it went over the house and into the field across the road. The shape was blacked out and all i could see were the different colored lights as it slowly moved further away. It stopped at one point, turned and flew slowly in a different direction. Scared me so bad, I thought I was going to have a heart attack!

We seen red flaming orbs in the back field several years ago that were flying straight up, then went 3 different ways.

An orange ball shaped object suddenly arose in west, changed to a rectangle going east, light began pulsating before it disappeared.

An object suddenly but slowly rose up in the western sky above the trees very close to where we were standing. It then began traveling east right across our sight line. It changed shape from a ball to a rectangular shape and the color shifted from orange to white. It was completely silent. After it crossed in front of us, the light began to pulsate several times. Our view was then partially blocked by some tree branches as it continued to pulsate and then never reappeared from behind the tree branches as expected. It just completely vanished as if it slipped behind some clouds but the sky was completely clear at the time.

It was a circular looking ball of fire falling towards the west. There was just one in the sky. It was burning as it was falling.

2 orange balls of light approaching from the West and moving East-SE slowly and silently, disappeared one by one as get closer.

I was looking out at the snow we had today and out on the herizon were two bright orange balls of light, rising out of the hills and moving towards my house.

They approached from the West in perfect equal distance, the entire time they flew. There was no sound, and as they got closer to me, the orange hue got brighter. Almost immediately, one of the lights pulsed, and then went out...and about 10 seconds later, the second light did the same.

I caught the whole thing on video and there were tons of kids outside playing in the snow at the time, not sure if any of them saw it, but it was clearly visible because it was already dark outside and these lights were very noticeable.

I took a 2-minute video of the whole thing. And this was weird. It definitely wasn't military planes either, I watch all the planes as they come in, and know the flight paths to BNA. This was different, there were no blinking safety lights on these and they were fluorescent orange with a bit of a hue around them...and the lights were too close together to be planes, and too high to be drones.

Not to mention the lights disappeared as they got near me.

On the night of December 14th, before during and after my drive from Murfreesboro to Franklin, I saw (similarly described by others) a small flash of a green light going through the sky. I sat and watched for hours, counting up to 41 as I saw them flying by every few minutes.

The 19th had a small explosion in the air bursting out red and white. The 29th went over above me and I saw a similar explosion.

Before I left Murfreesboro my uncle and girlfriend each witnessed one or two themselves. If someone could please shine some light on what I've discovered I would genuinely appreciate it.

Flying bright triangular object hovering over neighborhood

My cousin, my child, and I were driving coming down a hill and I noticed bright lights in the sky right above the tree line. At first, I believed it was an airplane, but it was too low and the lights did not move instead they remained stationary. My cousin sitting next to me in the passender seat also noticed these light without me saying anything. I told him to try and record it and we did catch it on video.

What caught our attention was how low the lights were to the ground the shape as we approacued closers was triangular and had about 6-8 very bright lights surrounding the triangular shape. The object was directly in top of the neighborhood we were heading towrds. The light then proceeded to move across the street and directly above the tree line in the neighborhood across the street from our destination. We lowered our windows and did not hear any noise coming from the flying object, it was completely silent outside.

In the video you can here me saying, " is it landing?" As it appeared the object was falling towrds the ground very slowly. Then it started to move along the tree line parallel to the road we were driving on.

As we turned into the neighborhood of our destination, we felt uneasy because the object was literally flying parallel to our neighborhood and we still had a very clear view of it. The flying object appeared very large in size and triangular, the lights were bright white, did not flash, and seemed as if they were attached to the object.

We got to our destination and looked out the house window to see if it was still visible, but the trees obstructed our view. The whole incident lasted about 5 minuses that we personally saw, though there is no way of knowing how long it had been hovering above the spot where we first saw it.

It seemed to be spinning but not so fast that I could not make out the light colors. I was in shock and walked closer to my door in fear but continued to watch. And then it just disappeared. It was definitely not an airplane. My dog was outside with me and began barking as well.

Orange horse shoe shaped, silent, moved much faster then any aircraft, came almost to complete stop, then proceeded and vanished.

I decided to go to the church and school of which I work, to lower the flag to ½ staff at midnight on 9/11/2015. I did this so I wouldn’t have to get up so early since I work another job at night, and I wanted it up before everyone arrived in the morning.

As I was lowering the flag and looking up, something flew silently across the sky right above and slightly to the south from where I was standing moving from west to east. I was facing south. It was kind of horse shoe shaped, orange in color, and looked slightly like a sparkler.

Normally, I would have thought it was just a meteor however, it almost came to a complete stop, then went slightly further east, and then vanished.

It made me feel kind of creepy and I got the hell out of there.

That’s about it! I’ve seen comets, meteors, and satellites all of my life but nothing that stopped and then proceeded on.

Shape: Fireball


Slow moving fireball, with no sound, in North Carolina.

Three of us were sitting on my porch in Franklin, NC, when one of us saw the fireball come over the mountains from the west. We all looked at it and I thought it was a comet of some sort, but it didn’t make any sounds, didn’t leave any kind of trail and it was moving much more slowly than it should have been I thought.

It moved from West to East just south of us and it took quite a long time to do so. It was glowing like it was on fire but again, no tail. It seemed like a giant hot ball of iron glowing after being pulled out of the fire. Compared to the size of the planes in the sky it was either quite close or very large.

After seeing it move through the sky and behind the mountains on the east, it felt more like it was something that was made to look like a comet or meteor.

After we couldn’t see it anymore we all waited outside for any kind of sound. Thinking if it hit somewhere we would hear or feel something you know. There was no sound though, even when a jet passes at 30,000 feet overhead you can hear the roar of the engines after it has passed, so it was quite strange that there was absolutely no sound at all.

Not sure what it was, but I thought it was worth reporting.

Thanks!

My fiance and I were driving our normal route home and I saw four very bright orange lights hovering in the sky. I asked her if she saw them and she said yes. I knew right off that it wasn't a plane because the objects were one single non-blinking light and they were all sitting there perfectly still and then they started moving to the side all in perfect unison. They ended up behind the tree line and I knew of a clearing were you can see everything. They were gone no trace or anything just vanished. A plane couldn't go that fast. Naturally, I start freaking out because that was the coolest thing I've seen by far.

triangle hovered low for several minutes and went nne slowly and silently.

  --Lat, long,-- (39.536510, -86.077044) --GPS coordinates-- 39° 32' 11.4360'' N86° 4' 37.3584'' W I was working delivering pizzas on February 17th, 2015 and it was about 8:05pm. We had several inches of fresh snow and it was still overcast, no stars or moon. I was pulling up to a red light (A) on US-31 at the Franklin/Whiteland town line, central Indiana, USA. I was the only car at the intersection. I was pulling up to the light, facing east and i noticed two lights right behind the tree tops off to my 1 o'clock, they didn't seem to be moving but i didn't think twice about it because sometimes planes seem to be standing still from the right angle.

I came to stop, checked it was clear and saw the two lights, white, steady on, still hadn't moved. And i noticed they were pretty far apart, roughly a city block and tilted down to the (my) right maybe 20°. I'm guessing ¼mi to ½mi. away(B).

I turned right on the red light, eyes now glued to the lights looking for distinction. As i moved south down US-31 a third light came in to view to the right of the first two. Nearly the same! distance apart it appeared, it was also white but flashed red at a little faster than once per second. I drove nearly a quarter mile, under the speed limit, rolling down the window, turning off the music and heat, and staring.

I pulled over (C) realizing how unsafe i was being, silently watching, as it remained static, pitched, for around two full minutes.

At this point i had still not heard any noises that wasn't one of the ten cars that passed me the entire time or my jaw hitting the road outside. After the approximate two minutes of watching three lights and hearing no sounds the aircraft leveled off allowing me to see the two white lights move together and reveal there was no further leading parts of the aircraft ahead of those points. Straight across that edge. After leveling it continued to pitch, this time to the NNW at maybe 10° and began moving, blunt edge first, in that direction.

I saw it start moving and threw my car into gear and zipped to the next pass thru in! the median watching it the best i could. Still almost no traf! fic i wa s able to get going north bound before it got far. It didn't leave quickly, just suddenly. I'm having trouble estimating it's speed, it seemed to triple mine at the least, but not shockingly fast, no bright flash or anything. I got turned around and up to 60mph+ and was looking at the tailing end of it. The craft never ascended or descended. Remained just a few hundred feet off of the ground. I never saw any other lights, or heard any sounds. Even though i was able to watch it from two different positions I never got a glimpse of its silhouette, just the shape of the three lights and the angle change when it pitched forward at the "front" before it left. I followed the best I could, maybe 30 seconds watching the two steady white lights at the sides, and the white light flashing red centered right in between them, until it again faded behind the tree tops a few miles ahead of me in straight line(D). I saw no other planes helicopters or crafts any time before or after.

Characteristics: Lights on object

There were 5 or 6 lights in a row blinking, whites and reds. It was just sitting there over top the ridge of the mountain, then it just totally disappeared. This was my very first sighting...skeptical at first at what my eyes were seeing, but now other explanation. We live in a very rural area in the mountains, now houses up on that knob, and very little airplane traffic, and a plane doesn't just sit there anyway! I'm kinda excited!

Blue light that changed colors, directions, and disappeared

We saw one light in the sky. It started out a bright blue and was stopped midair. Then the light turned off and it turned into a flashing green light as it moved sideways.

Then it turned into a bright blue light and moved back the other direction that it came from. The light turned off again and turned into a smaller white flashing light.

Then it flew off quickly.

Object with about 6 green circular lights with a centered red light above.

Walked out of the house. Looked in the sky and saw one huge object with about 6 green circular lights and a centered red light above the green lights. The green lights were so pretty. The object was traveling northeast. I saw the object from the back. In about seconds the object seem like it was 10 miles away. I saw it make a sharp left turn at a slow pace then gradually speed up and instantly came to a stop. The object did not tilt while turning. Then made a super fast right turn at an alarming speed not seen before and fell down. It popped back up, took off, then disappeared before my eyes

Fireball moving in the night sky.

I was sitting on our back deck with another friend as we witnessed an orange light, moving from west to east, almost in the trajectory and speed of an airplane. We had seen many airplanes that night flying above us, but this was orange in color, and instead of having blinking lights on the wings, this would get brighter orange and bigger in size like it was pulsating while it moved. It would totally fade out to black, And then pulsate again while it held this horizontal trajectory. Finally it just disappeared. It was very odd.

Lights of large object over Franklin, Louisiana.

Two lights perpendicular to each other in the shape of a colon move from the horizon in a 45 degree angle towards the sky followed by another set and another completely synchronized with each other. I'm not an irrational person I immediately took into consideration possible explanationshowever what I couldn't explain was that the top row of lights never moved out of alignment with the bottom it remained in the shape of a colon signifying a solid object the lights came in sets distanced a few seconds apart until there were roughly twenty to thirty pairs of lights moving perfectly in sync with one another like the world's largest plane taking off from too sharp of an angle not one light dimmed or strayed from the shape it kept structure until it moved into the zenith and was no longer visible.

3 Glowing Yellow, Medium Large "Trucks." Have no visible Wheels, Painfully Bright Lights all over surface

Witness awoke in bed due to strange noise outdoors. Looking to road, saw a "truck" with lights on the front, lights on the back, lights on the top. Object had lights all over the surface.

Witness said some lights were white, some lights were orange, some were yellow. Looking at surface of object, on the side witness could see, it had at least 14 lights visible on that side of the object. Lights about same size as car headlights, or somewhat smaller. Light intensity was so bright that it hurt witness's eyes to see it. Object made a "swishing" sound.

Witness could not see any wheels. Entire surface of object glowed because of the light intensity. Witness could not say if the light was emanating from inside of object. Object appeared to travel on road surface. Witness thought this was a service vehicle, by which witness meant that it was probably military. Object was moving on road at about 25 or 30 mph. Distance from witness about 100 feet.

After this object passed by, the road was dark again but witness could hear the same sound approaching again from same direction as before. Watching, witness saw identical object moving along the road, same speed, same description, same color etc. (Color described as bright yellow glowing.) Brightness still so intense it hurt witness's eyes.

Another witness was not able to awaken in time to see the objects. Same thing occurred; object passed, with weird swishing sound. Witness did not think this was a "streetsweeper" but again, a service vehicle, by which the witness meant "military," and "secret." "There are some things we are not supposed to know," witness said.

After this second object passed, the road was briefly dark again, and another identical object came by. (Three objects total sighted.) Witness could not understand why a road vehicle would be covered, absolutely covered with such powerful lights. Some light emanated from underneath the object also. No wheels were noticed.

Bat-shaped glider over Franklin, MA.

Odd black bat- or bird-shaped object a couple of hundred feet up, drifted lazily northwest until it disappeared behind the tree canopy horizon.

Object never flapped, so it seemed unlikely to have been a bird. It appeared to have something rope-like dangling from it, so we think it may have been a kite.

I looked at it through a 9x scope, but couldn't gather any additional details.
