Explanation: Searchlight - Certain
Characteristics: Lights on object

I saw four white orbs in the sky moving in perfect synchronization. They grouped together in a specific spot, then dispersed and group.

On April 5th, 2025, between approximately 8:30 PM and 9:55 PM, I observed four faint white orbs in the sky above T Street, Springfield, Oregon. The orbs were moving in perfect sync, grouping together and dispersing in various directions (N, S, E, W). They appeared to move smoothly and efficiently, pausing briefly before resuming their coordinated movements. The lights were not overly bright, and the sky was mostly cloudy, but the orbs were still visible. Several people, including my family members and a friend from a nearby street, also witnessed the event. The orbs moved in smooth patterns, at times forming shapes like squares, circles, or rectangles, before dispersing and starting the pattern again. There was no sound associated with the orbs, and they remained visible for about 90 minutes, becoming less noticeable as the sky cleared.

I was standing out back on my porch just talking with my wife when this bright slow moving light caught my eye

The object was bright yellow/white it looked like a bright slow moving ball. There were also planes flying in the sky at the same time and my wife and I both witnessed it flying right under them. It wasn’t making any noise just silently going through the sky. I took a video and a picture and when you zoom in on the picture it looks to me like an egg yolk no solid objects in the center but an orange glowing ball and the outside is yellow/white.

I was curious about an object that I noticed in the air flying by with different colors and no sound. I took my iPhone and recorded

I went out for a walk and decided to go to the River Front Park and just sit and look at the CT river. All of the sudden I saw craft just passing by very quietly and I started to record it and all of the sudden it disappeared. I decided to continue to record and noticed that the craft was literally invisible, coumaflage with their surroundings. You could see little lights flying and coming close to me. It was bizarre

I had flown into SGF from ORD which I do 1-2’s per month at the same time and same day. I had left the airport and was 5 minutes in when I noticed what I thought was a life flight helicopter due to the altitude and bright white lights on the belly. It was traveling NE as I was traveling south at a slow rate of speed (10-20 MPH) as it crossed in front of me it slowed to a near stop over a warehouse just north of the 1st Baptist Church of Brookline. When I got close I slowed and rolled my drivers side window down to get a better view and couldn’t process what I was looking at. I fly a drone often, travel often for work (4-8 flights a month) and have driven well over a million miles and never seen anything like this. I called my son and took the shoulder then made a u-turn in an attempt to get a video of it. As soon as I made the u-turn it sped up to approx. 50-60 MPH and continued to travel NE within a mile of the airport without gaining any altitude.

Shape: Cross
Color: Metallic Gray
Estimated Size: About the size of a car
Viewed From: Land
Angle of Elevation: 60
Closest Distance: Unknown
Estimated Speed: Unknown
Explanation: Drone - Possible


At 10:40 AM EST, I saw a metallic, X-shaped object in the sky. No planes were on radar, confirming it wasn’t a conventional aircraft.

At approximately 10:40 AM EST (15:40 UTC), while driving south on I-68 and approaching an exit, I noticed a peculiar metallic object in the sky at my 2 o’clock position, about 60 degrees above the horizon. Initially, it appeared to be a metallic airplane, but as I continued driving, I realized it was too small to be a plane and had an "X" cross shape. Due to my speed of 70 MPH, I only observed the object for about a minute and couldn’t analyze its shape in detail. The object had an unusually intense metallic shine, more like a reflective mirror than any airplane I’ve seen. It appeared to be about the size of a car and was at least 300 feet in the sky.

Additionally, I used a flight radar with playback to check for any aircraft in the area at the time of my sighting. The radar, which displays time in UTC (showing 15:40 UTC for my sighting), indicated that there were no planes in the location where I saw the object. This further strengthens the likelihood that what I witnessed was not a conventional aircraft.

I will include a map of where I believe the object was located, as well as my best representation of the object drawn out. I wish I had a video of the object, but again I was driving when I witnessed it.

Bright round white object is stationary then moves until a smaller orb absorbs into it causing the object to change red.

At 5:49pm facing the northeast sky I observed a bright stationary object. It was slightly bigger and brighter than other stars in the sky but I noticed it started moving shortly after I started watching it.

At first I thought it was star, then once it started moving and I realized it wasn’t flashing like an airplane I started to record. It was round and very bright. Larger than an airplane and if I had to take a guess its altitude was between 8-12,000 ft. It moved constantly from the northeast to the east/southeast. The color of the object was still white but growing and fading back and forth. Kind of like a candle light.

After recording for 31 seconds, I looked at my flight Rader app to verify it wasn’t an airplane because the object wasn’t flashing any lights and wasn’t at the right altitude either coming into our airport (object was flying away from our airport) or leaving from our airport (altitude would have been to high in proximity from airport if object just took off). The flight Rader app showed no flights to the direction I was looking above Springfield matching what I was seeing in the sky.

As I was watching the object I noticed a very small light white orb zigzag over to the object (still moving to the east/southeast). As the tiny orb zigzagged up to the white round object, the orb was absorbed into the larger white object. Immediately after the orb was absorbed, I started recording again and the white object was now flickering and changed to a deep red color. The object flickered out and just faded out, vanishing. The viability was clear with no clouds.

Estimated Speed: Crossed the entire sky in about a minute.
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Massive, shadowy, triangular, object that crossed the entire expanse of sky without a sound, nav lights, or contrail.

I’ll start off by saying I don’t know what I saw, my mind is still trying to make sense of it. The moon hadn’t cleared the tree line to the East of my location, but it was up, possibly accounting for my ability to see it (the object) at all as it had zero lights displayed. Larger than a Super-tanker, 10-15,000 feet up, moving North to South just West of the address indicated on this form. There was no sound, no discernable glow from engines, no trail, just an eerie shadow floating at high velocity across the sky.

I was practically raised on boats, and as sailors do, spent a lot of time gazing upward. Later I became a navigator in the U.S. Navy, again, detail-oriented eyes mostly scanning the horizon on up. Excelling at celestial navigation and weather observation I am very familiar with just about everything that graces the sky, the average elevations they cruise at, and the speeds at which they travel. The relative time it took for this object to cross my field of vision is what prompted this report. I’ve seen a few unidentified flying objects over the decades, all with some kind of lighting, yet none left me feeling uneasy afterward. The figure wasn’t exactly clear, resembling something that was ineffectively removed from a photograph, leaving obvious dithering in its place.

I’ve watched all sorts of objects in the sky; satellites, the space station, celestial bodies, manta rays, whales, and once, a B52 bomber as it came over the horizon, out over the Pacific, right over the FFG I was on; so close it looked like it was going to hit the mast. I was raised in Southern California, visiting my grandparents in Death Valley and cheering the sonic booms produced by hot dog pilots and spotting experimental aircraft. My family frequently visited relatives at the China Lake facility and Edwards Air Force base, just to add to the variety of places I have been where flying things were paramount. Additionally, I am extremely interested in transportation of all types, especially technologically superior types constantly being rolled out, so I have a good idea what people are making out there.

What I saw this morning, I don’t know, I’m still trying to wrap my head around it…; so weird/out-of-place it looked fake. Nobody produces anything that massive.

I'm not looking for attention, and don't particularly need/want to be contacted. Out of national/global security concerns, I felt compelled.

We both witnessed a dark silent craft with no lights or sound moving across the sky at night, lit only from ground lights

My wife and I were on the second story of our back deck skywatching for a bit (meteorites, aircraft, etc.), while the dog was making his last rounds of the property for the evening. We live in a rural area surrounded by farmland and a few homes on the north, south and east. To the west are a couple of truckstops, warehouses and Interstate 70. The highway and the businesses and highway put off quite a bit of light, but the sky looking north is still somewhat dark. We had been sitting out for about 15 minutes, and our eyes were well adjusted to the dark.

I stood up to whistle for the dog and looked in the western direction, scanning the sky one more time, I noticed the dark object moving across the sky at this time. The sky was clear, and the object had no lights. It looked to be around 50’ in length and maybe 10’ tall and was only visible because of the lights on the ground. It appeared to be rectangular/ long cube shape with some sort of appendages. It was moving from WSW to the northeast about 300’ away from us and about 300’ off the ground. As soon as I saw it, I pointed and told my wife that there is an object floating across the sky right there. To my surprise, she saw it instantly and we both followed it until it went beyond the trees and out of sight. There was no sound.

Obviously, what I described resembles the description of an airplane. The object was dark and in a dark sky only illuminated by lights from below, so not seen perfectly. I have watched the sky from this exact location most nights for the last 20 years. I am familiar with aircraft, lights, drones, stars, planets, lanterns, etc., we have both lived close to Wright Patterson AFB our whole lives. If it were a conventional aircraft, it was totally silent and flying with all identifying lights off. As close as we were, we should have heard it, whether a prop plane or jet.

Possibly something secret from the AFB?

Erratically moving star-like light in the sky zig-zagging from one side of the sky to another.

We were enjoying a beer on the back patio when we noticed a star moving in the sky. We view the stars very often and are well aware of drones, planes, satellites, etc. This was not that. It was indistinguishable from a star in the sky in a appearance (if it would have stayed still). Yet it would move all around the night sky in zigzags and loops erratically changing direction and speed. It was going, at times, about twice as fast as a linear-moving satellite or plane. At other times it was much slower. There were several in the sky at some points. We watched for approximately an hour and would see it look like it split into several other lights that would fly in different directions. We would track it's movement by comparing it to stationary stars (eg. "it's about to cross that star, oh it just turned around, its going down now toward the bright star" etc). We both saw the exact same movement. It was NOT the slight movement seen by atmospheric variation (ie. movement that would stay in the distance of the tip of your thumb at an arms length) as it would move all over the sky. It seemed to stay mostly in our field of vision. Twice it got slightly closer and may have been spherical but this was only seen by one party, not both. After an hour of watching it dance in the sky, we saw three of them in a line at equal-distance and fly off into the North-West sky (complete opposite direction) to disappear and not return. We waited about 20 minutes for a return and it never did. For the whole hour we viewed, it was seen in the sky for approximately 30-40 minutes, so pretty often. It would appear out of no where then disappear. It also seemed like it stopped refracting light at times but could still be seen very faintly. It was seen at approximately 45 degrees from the horizon.

Above-link is a great example of what we saw. NOT our video as it was too faint with light pollution to capture on camera, but it looked very similar to this.

I picked my son up from highschool and as we were driving North bound on I-5 as we were going over the Willamette river bridge I saw a white object about 45 degrees above the horizon and slightly right of the freeway. It at first looked like a drone or possibly a distance airliner with no contrail. I pointed the object out to my son (17) by saying " Is that a drone or what?" He says he was able to observe the object but shortly after we both saw it fade out of visibility with out getting smaller.

30-50' diameter light burnt orange sphere which came from the west/southwest over my farm, flew for 20-30 miles before disappearing.

At approximately 12:30pm on 3/15/2024 I was sitting on my couch speaking to my dad on the phone when plain as day in a completely unobstructed view a 30-50 foot diameter round object that was a light burnt orange color, approximately 200-300' up in the air, flew from the back of my property, from the S/SW direction into my view looking South. It was heading North/Northeast. It was moving about 50 MPH. It was plain as day in a cloud free sky flying across the wide open 60 acre field directly across the road from me. I immediately went outside to video it from my Samsung Galaxy S21+ phone; while describing what i was seeing to my dad. I noticed that it was a light burnt orange color, but at times would appear bright white and then back to its original color. I'm not sure if it was changing colors or if it was the sun reflecting off of it. It was flying in a upward angled trajectory increasing elevation as it flew heading North to Northeast. Once it was about 7-8 miles away from me it just disappeared; however just a few seconds later it reappeared a good mile or more to the left of its original flight path but was still heading in the same original direction. I was able to observe it for another minute or so before it was out of my view. I was the only one home at the time. I came back inside and was excited to send the video I just took to my dad. However when I opened my photo gallery there was no video there. I went back into my camera app, because I started panicking that I didn't have the video. I opened the camera app only to see a note saying "Video Cannot Be Recorded While Speaking On The Phone". After finishing my phone call with my parents, I'm 57 & my parents are 74 & 75 years old, I contacted the local police departments Non-emergency line, they then directed me to the County Sheriff's department and I made a report with them. I then called our local news station in hopes that someone had also seen it and reported it. The news station told me his hands were tied on stuff like this & that he was in the same boat as I am in reporting it. I then contact the airport to see if they had any reports of it. The airport executive office connected me to the tower control, I reported it to them. The control tower told me to contact you guys at the National UFO Reporting Center. I contacted by phone the N.U.F.O.R.C. and reported what I saw & they asked me to file a written report; which I'm now doing. It was the most thrilling & spectacular experience I've ever had the pleasure of viewing!

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object

12 or more dim lights in a perfect chevron or boomerang shape

I was observing the night sky for only a few moments, when I noticed motion in my peripheral, to the north and about 80 degrees up from my location in my back yard. It was 12 or more very faint points of light forming a perfect chevron or boomerang. I watched the shape move in a linear constant speed from East to West with no sound. At first I thought it could be birds migrating, given its apparent size and silence from my perspective. But its shape was perfect and its path was perfectly straight. I could detect a shape that was greater than just the points of light as it passed over the stars, again like that of a boomerang or plane wings with no fuselage.

From my perspective, if the form were a known aircraft, it would be most similar to a B2 Bomber. However, if it were a conventional aircraft, it would have been no more than 1000 ft above the ground. Which would have produced immense sound.

Lastly, the appearance of the shape was mildly streaking or fluid in its motion. Almost like it was passing just below the surface of water.

I observed it for 10-15 seconds, starting at approximately due north of my location, until I lost sight of it over the West horizon.

strange lights over Coburg Hills, tracking south. Videos can be seen @sky_phenomenon on youtube

My wife noticed the light over the Coburg Hills around 10:30. Oddly enough this is the same location as my 12/10/2022 "chicken coop" sighting documented with nuforc. Light looked strange and behaved very strange. Appeared to he very "glitchy", hopping left and right so quickly it blew my mind, literally at blurring speeds. Some of the videos are crazy. There were at least two others lights lurking around it at times. It's tracking was consistent and slow, but it's micro movements were incomprehensible. It was a shape shifty, highly erratic, multi colored plasma like ball probably at 10,000 feet? Not sure..... If interested the videos are posted on YouTube @sky_phenomenon. This experience is the only reason I made the channel. Photos and video were taken with a s22 ultra, stabilized by our slider door, I used everything from a 1x to 100x zoom. Enjoy.

Location details: I was driving westbound on I-70, South of Springfield.

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

There was a northbound helicopter being followed and circled by this smaller craft.

I was driving westbound on I-70 and saw a helicopter heading north. This helicopter was followed by a smaller craft which made rapid changes of direction and speed, circling the helicopter a few times but keeping mostly behind it. The smaller craft first looked oval in shape but became triangular, then back to an oval, and repeated this shift as they headed out of sight. The object was a darker gray, not quite black, easily seen against the partly cloudy sky.

Shape: Circle


Circle shaped object travelling very fast in West-southwest direction.

Circle object dimly reflecting light from the city moving west-southwest in a straight line. It disappeared from view as it got close to the horizon. It made absolutely no sound, appeared to be around the size of a medium sized airplane, and was moving much faster than the speed of normal commercial air traffic. I was in the US Navy, I've seen all kinds of aircraft, and I've travelled all over the world, but I have never seen something like this, much less move at that speed and make no sound at all.

One side of craft had 2 rows of lights on

Seen a large long light in the sky
About 800 ft away over the neighborhood. Craft moved east right over us. About 15 ft tall
And 100 ft long. When it past over I moved to be directly under it and it was clearly a triangle shaped craft.The lights flickered and went out. Craft completely faded into. The mist. I had seen the same craft around 3 years ago at the corner of Bob Straub and Mountain Gate sitting directly over the house on the corner. At that time it had one very bright light on the top. I parked my truck under it and got out it was 65 feet up but seemed smaller by 30 or 40 % it then moved west over Eugene. Made no noise and the light stayed on until out of sight.



NUFORC Note:

Photo appears reminiscent of Starlink but the triangular description contradicts that.

I saw a bright linear light slowly move from the horizon up towards the sky in a diagonal direction and then disappear.

I looked out my back door and saw this line of light moving slowly from the horizon upwards in a slow, diagonal direction towards the sky. It looked almost like a shooting star, except moving up instead of down and moving much more slowly. I am terrible with directions, but I believe it was coming from the west and moving in a north-westerly direction.

I called my 2 children out to see it and to bring my phone to record video. My 11 year old son took the video on my cell phone. The object got then disappeared. When you zoom in on the video, it appears to be a line of lights.

There is an airport nearby, but this object did not come from the direction of the airport.

Location details: back pation of our home, facing Eastward.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Changed Colo

Blue, pulsating light, below 7,000ft cloud ceiling on a rainy night.

I stepped out on our patio to lock our garage door in preparation for going to bed. I looked Eastward and immediately saw a very strange, blue-colored light, hovering over and behind trees next to the McKenzie River. It was raining out, so I knew that this object had to be below the cloud deck.

I snapped a couple of pictures with my new iPhone 14 Pro Max (raw mode), then immediately went inside to grab my Luna Optics night vision binoculars. I returned to the patio and went to turn the binoculars on, and found the batteries were dead, even though brand new. I returned inside, grabbed my auxiliary battery brick, and powered the binoculars using the external battery source.

I have been around aviation for my entire life, and I knew this was not like anything I had ever seen. We have a large hospital immediately to our North, and I enjoy watching the lifeflight helicopters flying in and landing on the hospital roof. This was not a helicopter, and was not a drone, which I see flying over the river often.

I had enough time to check all of my flight programs for aircraft in the area, and there were none. I called 911 to report this sighting, just so there would be an official log of it. I tried calling our local airport control tower but could not find a number. I did access the airport's weather data and found that the cloud ceiling was 7000ft. I took approximately 8 minutes of video using my phone and night vision binoculars.

The "6005" video is a video I shot of the moon and clouds after this sighting, to show that the wind and clouds were moving in the opposite direction of the object's movement.

I love watching the night sky, and my wife and I sit for hours every evening during the Summer watching satellites and aircraft fly overhead. We are very adept at identifying aircraft types, and are very familiar with space stations, StarLink, etc.

I have a library of reference objects that I have recorded with my Luna Optics LN-G3-B50 binoculars, so am very familiar with the appearance of most flying objects at night.

PLEASE contact me for a link to the 7 minute 1.3gb video file that I have. Your site won't let me upload it, and I don't want to shorten/modify it.

Noticed a very large bright circular light above my home hovering ..

I had stepped outside my house to have a cigarette at approx. 9:30pm on 10/28/22 .. A light caught my eye that was position above my house but more toward the SE part of the sky .. I watched it for a few minutes and decided to grab my phone to take a video. It was a very large circular sphere . At first I thought it was a star but it was far too big to be a star .. it also was not the moon nor a plane. It was emitting a bluish green light and a bright white light that seemed to pulsate . There was a tree blocking my view so I positioned myself in the driveway to get it on video the best I could . It did not move in any direction while I was watching it , it only pulsated ...almost like a heart beating is the only way I can describe it. I am ex Navy and am familiar with what different aircraft looks like from multiple distances .. This was probably 30,000-40,000 ft up and looked to be extremely large .. Bigger than a football field . I went inside to get my roommate and by the time we got back out (within 1 minute) it was gone .
There was no clouds in the sky and the weather was clear . There was other stars present as well as a crescent moon but nothing this else remotely this bright . On my video it seemed to split into two separate objects , although I did not see this with my eyes. It did not make any sound.

Moving north I guess, took photo, looked down, but when I looked back it was gone

I was driving south on I-395 today, 9-24-2022, and noticed a bright light in the sky. At around 7:30, the sky was still light on one side, but I was looking slightly to the southeast, so it was a bit darker. The light beacon coming from the object was exceptionally strong, as I could see the very bright beam from my very well-lit area (the “mixing bowl), and I didn’t think it could be a plane or helicopter. It looked like a beacon starting from a slender line beaming out wide in a single direction, but not at anything in particular. I couldn’t tell if it was moving while I was driving, and I wanted to get a better look. I took the Springfield / Old Keene Mill exit and pulled into the Springfield Plaza Shopping Center. I parked in the lot north of Panda Express facing the Homewood Suites. After watching and realizing it was moving in a northerly direction, I decided to take some photos. I looked at the photos closely after taking each one, and then would take another photo, three photos in all. It wasn’t moving very fast. After looking at the third photo, I looked back up where it should be (based on the speed it had been going), and it was gone. Looking back at the photos, I noticed that there was a “spot” on one of them. I zoomed in to see a flat square object.

Weather was calm and mostly clear. I started to drive home, and then thought to look at the clock. It was 7:44 when I looked, so I think it was around 7:35 when I first noticed it.

Sitting at a campfire in front yard. A guest noticed an triangle shaped area of the sky with no stars showing.

Looking due west at approximately 60 degrees up, there was a triangle shaped area that was completely black with an occasional tiny white light which showed on the west edge of it. It was a crystal clear night and we had seen numerous satellites and shooting stars. We observed a satellite approach the triangle and actually disappear as it passed ( presumably ) above the triangle. It then appeared on the other side. Something was there blocking out light. We then saw three smaller lights fly in different directions around the object and eventually disappear at the object. It remained in the area approximately an hour and was just suddenly gone. Never saw it move, it just was suddenly not there. Stars which had been covered were then visible. None of us had seen anything like this.

Stationary green light in the sky for about 3 minutes maybe longer, zipped all weird directions then descends down and disappears

I was taking out the trash at work to the outside dumpsters of the building facing south towards the coastlines and if followed in a straight path, would my guess be, past Delaware. Potentially out in the ocean in the sky. It was a green light that just sat in the sky for about 3-5 minutes and could have been there longer than when I first stepped outside and saw it. I questioned if it were a plane at first but realized it was impossible because there was a plane in the sky pretty further east and I actually was able to compare the two. Once I had finished with the trash, and keeping a close eye on the green light, it had started to zip left and right. It obviously had no indication of being a plane or even some sort of radio or cell tower given it had started to move and was really high in the sky. Higher than any tower man would probably build. I just stared in amazement and astonishment because I’d never seen anything like it before. It zipped left and right and I could just tell it was probably all these weird directions that any flying object know to the public wouldn’t be a plane. Then it almost just rapidly descended downwards and disappeared. My guess is it was probably in the ocean off the coastline of Delaware and potentially a little bit further east than that sprightly. Not east enough to be past Philadelphia.

Two large cylindrical ships, one above the other with colored lights like moving Christmas lights. They remained stationary.

I left my parents house on Elm Hill around 7:30 to walk down the hill to my apartment. At the end of their driveway, I happened to look up (due west) and saw two large seemingly stationary objects with colored lights along the bottom. The lights on the top one made one blinking pass like Christmas lights. I observed them for maybe a minute or so. When I continued down the hill, they were still there. When I got home, I couldn’t sleep for most of the night thinking about what I saw. They were definitely not airplanes. They made no noise and did not change shape or size as long as I observed them. I now wish I would have observed them longer, but it was really cold out!

I saw a star-sized light zig-zagging high in the dark morning sky.

At 6:20 am I let my dogs out. It is a very clear morning. The stars are very visible and clear. I look up every morning to check the stars and sky out. Today, I looked up and saw a star-sized object moving at a very high rate of speed. It zig-zagged. I first thought it was my imagination the way it zig-zagged. I kept watching, and no doubt, it was zig-zagging, like it was avoiding objects in its path. As I watched, it disappeared into the dark sky as if it was climbing higher. It was visible for maybe, 3 minutes. It looked just like a star.

Characteristics: Lights on object

A stationary red circle moves down straight in sky, emits light, stops briefly and moves in a perfect straight line to its left.

It was early morning, overcast and before the sun had come above the horizon. I was outside facing southeast when I noticed a red circle in the sky. I figured it to be a bright planet or satellite till it moved directly downwards in a perfectly straight line before coming to a hovering stop once more. I believe I may have seen a white light also come from the bottom of the the red circle around this time. After staying perfectly still in its new position for a few moments it then started to move to its left in the same unwavering, straight motion as it had when it dropped position. During this movement trees obscured my vision and I did not see what happened after. The distance I perceived the circle to be at was far but within the cloud layer. To my eye it looked as though it was moving fast during its perfect movement. I did not see anything other than the red circle and what may have been white light from the bottom of the circle.

Saw a stationary black craft twice as big as airplane.

I was riding in the passenger side of the car, looked out the window and saw a huge stationary craft hovering maybe 75 feet off the ground. I starting exclaiming to everyone in the car about it to look, but they didn’t see. I noticed the craft was completely silent and huge, twice the size of a large airplane and black with a sort of damascus metal design all over. I was pretty shook up and couldn’t understand why nobody else could see it. I felt strange sensations in my mind like I was trying to be confused or controlled what I thought. We drove by the spot again a few minutes later and it was gone.

Fast moving v formation high in the night sky.

I was looking up at the stars and just happened to see a very faint movement in the sky. Once my eyes focused, I could see what looked like a formation of very faint lights in a formation. I would say it was a v formation but it was more of a check mark as there were more to one side than the other, about 7 or 8 lights in total. They moved faster than any aircraft I’ve ever seen flying at what seemed such high altitude. I’ve seen shooting start, satellites, meteors and all sorts of aircraft flying in the night sky. Nothing I’ve seen has ever moved the way these lights were moving. I’m 100% convinced I saw either one big ufo or a cluster of multiple ufos.

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

Triangular shaped object moving into a cloud.

As I drove down the street on my way to the store at 8:11 pm on the evening of 1/8/2021, I glanced up from my windshield as my car drive in that direction down 17th st, and saw 3 strange lights in the spaced aprx 100ft apart from each other and grouped in the shape of a triangle. I immediately assumed it was a radio tower when I realized I had driven down that street 100’s of times before and there is no radio towers within that line of sight from that vantage. As I slowed down my car trying to figure out what I was seeing, I noticed that the lights in the shape of a triangle were almost drifting, but clearly steadily moving away from me, under power, with the leading end of the triangle angled down at what I think to be roughly a 30 degree angle as it flew horizontally, much the way a helicopter would fly with the nose slightly down. The red lights didn’t look like normal lights as they slowly pulsated and looked more glowing hot unlike aircraft lights. I then assumed I! was seeing 3 drones spaced apart moving in unison. As the triangles got closer to the cloud bank I could see a black triangular mass in between of each of the three glowing pulsating lights that was clearly what the lights were attached to. At this point I can honestly say I felt I was looking at something I have never seen before. I come from a family of pilots and have been in aircraft big and small, am familiar with a range of different types of fixed wing and helicopters (more than the average person) and have seen aircraft lights at night from the ground and am able to identify these vehicles at night quickly. I am also familiar with drones and know what they look like in the dark and their flight characteristics. Again, my estimate of the size of this object was roughly 100’ between each point of light and my guess at its altitude would be 300’ to 400’ max. As it slowly moved over the area near a local supermarket a quarter mile away, I lost sight of it as it entered! the cloud mass. This cloud mass was moving S West to N East a! s the ob ject was moving at a Northern trajectory, intersecting the cloud as it moved almost true north towards the Mowhawk hills north of my position.

I want to make it clear I have no opinion of what I saw but It didn’t strike me as organic or man made in flight characteristics or appearance, I do not believe one way or the other when it comes to UFO’s and other supposed paranormal activity and I lean more towards the skeptical side of the phenomena. But what I saw disturbed me especially given its size. It looked as if it was flying into the cloud deliberately.

I’m reporting this in an effort to ascertain if anyone else witnessed this and reported it and would appreciate someone contacting me if that is the case. This entire event transpired over the course of 20 seconds and I have no video footage given the fact I was behind the wheel.

The dim lights are all that we could see with no flashing. And no visible trail or sound.

my friend and I were on my back patio smoking cigars and I noticed a group of what I first thought was a small group of birds but quickly realized it was not. It was 4 dim lights, 3 in a triangle formation with the 3rd just outside the triangle traveling from west to east. I have no idea how high they were so I have no idea how big the craft was. They appeared to be traveling at a very high rate of speed and did very slightly from flying in a straight line. we observed them until we could not see them anymore. The event only lasted about 6 seconds. And we also noticed that they made no sound that we could hear.

I am a USAF veteran and now my wife and I own a small restaurant and I'm a musician. My friend is a tile setter and is also a musician.

I witnessed two strange lights along with a set of parallel lights hovering above, that I filmed!

On July 4, 2020, I had visited my parents home to celebrate independents day. Around 9:30pm (21:30) I left to return home. When I got to the intersection just below my parents house, I noticed a round flashing light in the sky.

My first thought was an airplane, headed to the airport. But then I noticed a second light at a distance behind the first one. Our airport doesn’t receive airplanes that close together. It’s a rather small airport with not much traffic.

I grabbed my cell phone and snapped a quick picture. I wanted to get out and watch it but a car pulled up behind me and so I turned and pulled to the side of the road.

I stopped the car, and got out. This is when I decided to film the lights. I was a little shook up and fumbled around with my cell phone but I was able to get three short video clips. In the last video, I panned from the light in the front to the light in the back and stayed with that second light until it disappeared.

The light was red and yellow like fire and flashed in pulses. (All caught in video!) then it just dissolved into the sky. After the event,I reviewed the still picture I took and noticed a third set of lights above the other two with very faint lights in two rows, exactly parallel to each other. These lights were NOT visible to me with my naked eye and only appear in the photo. I also zoomed in on the initial ball of light and could see it wasn’t completely round. There was a “stem” of light on the front.

The event lasted for several minutes. Much longer than any pyrotechnics would

Orb ufo that moved like a hummingbird.

I was out having a cigarette on my porch. I saw a bright star I've never seen before.then it got brighter and bluer. And from a stand still it moved to the right at a fast pace faster than anything I've ever seen. Then it hovered and started to move erratically in circles, stopping maligning right angle or sharper turns and abruptly changing direction. I did take notice that it would increase in brightness everytime it would go from a stand still to moving. We have three videos two from a iphone, one from a S9 the iphone ones definitely needs brightening and my phones video is pretty bad as I'm a horrible cameraman but you can see it move behind the tree and then change direction suddenly to leave. In my life I've always watched the sky, I've seen jets, copters, balloons, Chinese lanterns and other things so when I saw this it completely left me at a loss. After tonight I'm a firm believer.

White balls of light Springfield Illinois

Was in my car on the highway heading to jacksonville Illinois from springfield Illinois it was around 930 pm I was looking out my car window at the sky and I noticed two light balls not flashing but definitely moving they were larger balls of light than the stars in the background so it stood out to me. They were side by side so I could not tell if it was one ufo or two separate ones. They were just balls of light no color I flashing or anything and it was moving slowly what seem like maybe upwards towards the sky then it just completely vanished. It stuck around for a good two mins and seemed to be moving same speed as the car just only was getting smaller as it moved upwards before finally disappearing.

10 plus orange lights seen in Springfield, MA

I noticed about 3 bright orange lights in the sky in East Springfield area looking towards Chicopee. With in 10-15 seconds of seeing the first lights about five more appeared in very close formation. The lights were bright and sold orange color, there were no flashing strobes as you would normally see in aircraft. The lights then turned towards the north and stared to fade. As the lead would fade out another light became visible at the tail end of the formation. I witnessed this for roughly 2 minutes and there were around 10-15 total.

Black Saucer UFO Spotted Over Springfield OR

I was out fly fishing the Willamette River for trout at Clearwater Park here in Springfield when I had an encounter with a black saucer UFO. I was getting out of the water after wading out and heading to the main trail to find a different spot to wade out to a fish when I happened to look up in the sky and spot what at first I thought was a black balloon. After a few seconds I realized it was no balloon, since it was slowly moving up and down, then paused to hover for a few seconds, and looked nothing like a balloon. I watched it move like this for about a minute before it sped off and disappeared behind the treeline. I would guess it was about 400ft off the ground. It was heading northeast towards the hills, about the side of a helicopter, shaped like a black saucer, and made no noise as it moved.

Crashed large cylindrical object in a neighbors yard. Lit up extremely brightly and vanished without a trace.

My dogs started barking and out of the blue, my power went out after a loud explosive noise. I walked out to my garage to check my breaker box but found nothing. When I walked outside to see if any other houses had the problem I saw the object two houses down. The object was very metallic but not in a normal way, Almost like a black silver or a locked phone screen. It was about 8 feet long and around the circumference of two adult oak trees. It looked as if it had crashed in front of my neighbor's house who came out with her husband along with me. The object after about 4 minutes after we looked at it changed its deep black color to a very painfully bright white light before vanishing without any marks on the ground or any debris anywhere. When I walked back inside my dogs we're barking at my front door and my power was on.

Bright red, circular fireball object, that gave off a bright glow.

I was on my balcony, about 50 feet from the ground, i saw one bright red object that looked to be a ball shape. It was giving off a glow that was so red it looked to be blurry to my eyes, if that makes sense. I could see it above the tree line, approximately 3 miles away, east. Within 5 seconds it was hovering right over me. It's flight patterns in the sky was unlike anything I've ever seen. It moved in circles, it would hover low, then back up high again repeatedly.

Once the object decided to stop hovering above me, It was out of my eye sight in a matter of seconds, I watched it until it left. It felt as if I was staring at it for a very long time (probably because I was awe) but it was only a minute. I've never seen anything like this, I'm a UFO sceptic but I saw something, something that wasn't of this Earth and I cannot explain to myself, so I'm here posting this. I just wish other would've saw it too. It was beautiful. I felt very calm and relaxed the ! whole time. I wish to see it again soon. Unfortunately, I didn't take a photo. The object gave off absolutely no sound at all.

There are hundreds, possibly thousands of these things.

These sighting's have been going on for some time now, I can't be exact when I first noticed what started out as "strange things".

To be honest, after I realized it was not my eyes playing tricks on me I thought perhaps I was losing my mind. That would be easier to explain I think, but I assure anyone who reads my report, I am not crazy nor have I lost my mind. I am however beside my self trying to grasp the reality of what I have been witnessing.

When I first noticed something "odd," it was some kind of "something" I didn't know what, that streaked across the sky at a quick as lightning speed, it was by accident that I happened to notice these things and they were so fast if I blinked I would miss it. After some time I then realized the origin of where they were coming from. To the East of my location I have a pretty good view of the mountains a good estimate of the distance from me to there I would say somewhere between 2 to 4 miles, 2 at the least and 4 at the most, this being a straight shot. This is Weyerhaeuser property. When the day light begins to fade and dusk is setting in, just on the ridge of the mountain top there you will notice a illuminating light coming from behind the mountain, if you see the light an watch closely you will notice what looks to be something like an orb, light in color, white/bluish most often, occasionally red shoot straight up in the sky, so fast it almost seems like it was just shot from a sling shot, if you blink you will miss it. As i became more aware of these things and knew what to look for the more i questioned my reality, i am trying to grasp and comprehend what this is that i am seeing.

Recently i have noticed some changes in what i knew as routine, also in appearance.

Each Orb, as i referred to them as that shot off from over that mountain top came directly over head of my location, gradually made a u turn and shot off into the distance, destination unknown. Then i saw one, closer and reduced speed i noticed after making a u turn the object is not an orb at all, they are disks and from looking underneath it's clear to see it is a disk shape outlined with lights. Now that i know this i can recognize these disks at random in the sky and what i suspect trying to hide their presence behind what i thought were clouds. The "clouds" also illuminate the white lights shaping the discs so although one could easily not notice, one could notice if they knew what to look for.

These sightings have been going on for months now, i have been committed to watching, observing, and trying to learn more about these objects. What shocks me and the more i learn the more shocked i get is, I sware on my life and everything i love, even on my only child i am telling the truth when i say there are hundreds of these things, possibly thousands. There are signs of some kind of intelligence from these things might i just add. They are there every day, and every night. I really hope that there is somebody out there that can tell me what these things are exactly, what their purpose is, possible their intentions, something. Tell me i'm wrong, but don't tell me i'm crazy.

I can't help feeling frightened at times wondering what is the meaning behind these things? And i can't help but to feel some excitement of the idea. what are they doing here? and what could there possibly be over that mountain top that they are so interested in? Where do they go when they shoot off into the sky? Why are there so many of them? And why the hell has nobody els seen these things? Who do i even tell about what i'm seeing? And would they even believe me? Well that's why i am writing this now, where it goes and what comes of it i can only wait to find out.

I will follow up on the situation in soon time for those that are curious, and believe what i am saying. I am telling the truth, i don't care to be ridiculed over something i hesitated and debated even speaking up about. Don't pass judgement until you see for yourself, that's fair enough and all i ask.

Unknown very, very fast objects in a formation followed by other objects moments later.

While observing the lunar eclipse, I noticed objects in the sky going west to east at a high rate of speed. The objects were grouped in 3 vee formations side by side of 2 or 3. The objects were lighter than the clear black sky which is why my attention was brought to them.

The entire event transpired over only a few seconds which left me puzzling if I had actually seen them, but suddenly I saw 2 more objects following in a position that would have been to the left (as oriented looking to the east as the moon progressed) of the original grouping.

The sky was very clear and very black and the objects were at extreme altitude as they passed at a rapid clip and soon vanished.

These objects moved so much faster than any other extraterrestrial objects that I have observed since seeing Telstar as a youth.

Shape: Light


A bright white sphere seen by only myself traveling at a very hight rate of speed at a low altitude.

At approximately 23:00, I observed a very bright light speed across the sky at an altitude of what seemed to be about that of typical helicopter altitude would be. It was moving west to east at a very high rate of speed. It was completely silent. It left no trail as a meteor would. The light was solid bright white with not other identifying lights on it. I have worked in aviation for 3 1/2 years. Nothing that I am aware of could move that fast in total silence. It covered a couple miles of sky in about 3 seconds before going out of sight due to tall trees. Other than that there was no obstruction of view.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

UFO spotted after military aircraft flew by.

I was sitting in my car with the sunroof opened up at a local business. I heard an approaching helicopter flying over. The helicopter was a military style helicopter. The helicopter was flying around 3000 feet, headed in a southeast direction.

As soon as the helicopter flew past, I noticed what appeared to be a shiny rectangle like object in a near stationary position. The object resembled a jetliner's fuselage minus the wings and tail section. The UFO appeared to be about 15,000 to 20,000 feet high.

The object looked silverish and white in appearance with a light bluish light on the right side of object that was facing east.

The object was only moving slightly to the east at maybe around 5 MPH. After observing the UFO for around 20 seconds, it darted out of view heading northeast. I do not know the speed, but guessing I would say it was doing mach 1, or faster. The UFO made no noticeable sound when it was moving slowly and when it flew away at a sudden speed.

Side note: At the time the weather was calm, around 80 degrees fahrenheit with a few scattered high clouds.

Red ball steadily across night sky followed by second one 4 min later

Reddish flaming light ball moved steadily across sky as wife and friends sitting on back deck. Moved from west to south in the night sky. No green light nor any kind of flashing lights.

About 4 minutes later, a second one going about the same speed goes by using similar path. Interesting ... the ISS went by exacting hour later. What we saw earlier was very much different. I originally thought it was a meteor, but ruled it out when the second one went by. In my 40 years watching the sky since I was a kid, I never saw anything like it.

As a former pilot of 20 years professionally my friend called to my attention a white light coming directly over his house in Springfield, OR, from the the south. I estimated it was in the 30's as far as altitude. No sound but moving very quickly.

Might be an aircraft, but what was weird is the large bright light stayed bright even when it passed to the north. No beacon or strobes of any kind. In fact other aircraft were in the sky at the time and as a pilot I do know the difference.

I would say its speed was double of what the other aircraft were traveling at the time. We will be out tonight to see if it reoccurs. Thank you.

Silent, moving light or shiny object observed in full daylight over Northern Virginia

I live near a flight path for Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA). I was in our backyard, and had just watched (and heard) a jet fly roughly overhead (NE) in its landing pattern towards DCA. A minute or so later, I saw a bright light or shiny object moving in the opposite direction (SW). It moved at roughly the same relative speed as the jet, given the jet was probably 2000-5000 feet above me.

I assumed this shiny object was also a plane, with the Sun reflecting off it, but it made no noise whatsoever. As it moved away, it took on the appearance of two lights, but i can't vouch for that as I sometimes see slightly double at a distance. The brightness, considering this was broad daylight and a completely cloudless sky, and the complete lack of noise were enough to make me think twice.

When it disappeared behind a tree, I got up and exited our backyard to the parking lot behind our house to get another look. The trip took me three seconds, but when I to got the parking lot, the object was no longer visible.

Lights in the sky

My husband and i were getting out of our car and walking to the house, when I looked up and saw a sequence of four lights in a row. It was in the east. They were flashing from left to right. I've never seen any plane or helicopter do anything like this. They looked like chaser lights on a bar way up.

I told my husband about the strange lights that weren't moving and he didn't look, he went into the house. I watched for a few more minutes, then kind of blew it off until now. To know others may have saw something that night is why I'm coming forward.

I was traveling on a rural road outside of Springfield with my daughter and in the sky was a very low flying slow moving cigar shaped object with a bright white light on each side of the object and had no sound to it. It was traveling South east bound at a very slow speed.

Just after 3pm, I went outside to smoke a cigarette. It's a beautiful clear day here today, and I noticed that the sky was really blue for a change. So I was just staring up in amazement.

I look towards the east and it looked like birds circling around, but upon second glance, I noticed a pin sized light in each object. There were roughly 10-15 objects. As I watched, they continued flying in circular formation, criss crossing one another, at the same time rising higher and higher.

I ran inside to grab my phone and tried to record it, but when I got back out, (literally 3 seconds later) the objects were so high in the sky I could barely see them anymore. My camera could not detect anything. I continued watching them move up, and a little southeast until they finally disappeared completely.

All of this happened within the timeframe of 1 minute, just minutes past the 3 o'clock hour, central time.

3 very slow flying objects w/ red flashing light going due S, very high, maybe 100 mi apart

Seen outdoor at western edge of town, looking west. Dark sky. Body was a bluish light with smaller lashing red light. Objects seemed equally spaced, very far apart, much too high for commercial flight, moving ever so slowly. Went to quickly call ham operator. They were gone when I returned.

Witnessed a triangular shaped craft in the night sky while walking to my front door. It moved unnaturally smooth and fast. Not manmade.

Witnessed a triangular shaped craft in the night sky, while walking to my front door. It moved about 5 degrees one fluid movement; unnaturally fast for a plane or helicopter.

It remained in this spot for about a minute before quickly taking off.

It had bright red and white lights that moved around the craft on its edges and did not emit any noise, something I also found odd.

The speed at which it departed was unlike anything I’ve seen. I’m convinced it was not manmade.

It was a bright light, like daylight all around me, lasting approx. 1.5 seconds, then dark, then light again for .5 to 1 second.

Daylight at Night. On August 6, 2017, at approximately 1:03am pst, in Springfield, Oregon, I witnessed a bright light. (I was on I-5, going south towards Springfield, in my vehicle, about 1 mile north of the Beltline.) The bright light was not from high beams of another car, but a very, very bright light, like daylight all around me! I could see the mountains, or hills, to my left, and I could see the color of the grass and trees as if it were daytime! It lasted about 1.5 to 2 seconds, went back to dark, then back to the same bright light for about 0.5 to 1 second. I drove for approximately .5 of a mile or less, before pulling over to call the Oregon State Police dispatch, to report it, and to find out if anyone else saw the bright light, or if there was an explanation. I described the incident to the dispatch woman, and she said she would put it out there, and find out if any officers had witnessed it. To my surprise, after I made a voice recording of what I saw, there was a voicemail from t! he same dispatch woman! She called to let me know that 2 state police officers had indeed witnessed the bright light, and didn't know what it was either!

Since the incident, I have recalled it over, and over all day today (it is still August 6). I realize that it was a very big light, and a light that moved across the landscape and me in my car. I know it was a very big light, because it seemed to light up landscape at least 100 feet in front of me, and to my left at least 200 feet or more, in my best guess.

NUFORC Note:

The source of the report has reported accurately. However, the Oregon State Patrol Dispatch [(541) 726-2536] and Lane County, Oregon, Dispatch [(541) 682-5111] report that a bulldozer, working under dubious circumstances, had struck a power pole, perhaps knocking it over, which had caused a very dramatic flash of light, and a resulting grass fire. Emergency vehicles and utility repair personnel were dispatched to the site. We express our gratitude to the OSP and Lane County dispatch centers for their efficient, and cheerful, assistance, which allowed our Center to solve this case quickly. PD
