Saw VERY large object levitating upwards then completely vanishing in the sky

While driving I noticed lights, green, some flashing, I assumed it was a plane as I was near BWI however it caught my attention because of the size. I noticed it was extremely large so I kept my eye on it… thinking I’ve never seen a plane that big. I noticed it did not appear to be taking off or landing as it was raising upwards in a “levitating” type of motion. As I continued to watch it.. it completely vanished in the sky. I looked all around and never saw it reappear. I continued driving then spotted what actually appears to be a plane taking off, it was a cloudy night so I made sure to watch as I noticed the plane fly through cloud cover then reappear out of the clouds. Further raising my concern as to what the first flying object I witnessed was and why it COMPLETELY vanished from the sky, and was it was extremely large.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE WE WITNESSED THIS!

Around 8:15-8:30pm, I was visiting my god parents who were staying at a campground for the week. We had just finished eating burgers from the grill, so we were all sitting around the picnic table hanging out, listening to music and talking. There were 3 of us in our party. I was sitting facing south and out of the periphery of my eye, I noticed something white and bright appear in the sky. Since I'm constantly searching the night sky for anomalies, this caught my attention as it was not there previously. It had just turned nightfall not too long before this and the stars were coming out. This campground is directly next to the only airport within 30 minutes, so there was aircraft taking off and landing as well the entire time we were out there. I watched this bright, round, white orb light for a minute before saying anything to the rest of the group. Before long, I noticed it was dimming in and out pretty sporadically. I then said to my god mother, "hey, do you see this? I've been watching this light in the sky for about 10 minutes and it just keeps dimming in and out." She looked up, and noticed the same thing I did. Together, we're now watching this object and it dimmed out, as it was previously doing, but when it came back brighter, the circle shape had shifted into a linear shape. Now, with what appeared to be white, green and (I think) red lights that looked as if they were making up the front of something. We continued to observe this together. By this time, I'm freaking out, saying to her, "YOU SEE WHAT I'M SEEING, CORRECT? I'M NOT GOING CRAZY, THAT CIRCLE JUST SHIFTED SHAPE INTO A STRAIGHT LINE WITH DIFFERENT COLOR LIGHTS!" She reluctantly agreed because she isn't a believer, but she couldn't argue what was happening right in front of our eyes. She said to me, "I see exactly what you see." We together watched this linear shape then shift shapes AGAIN into what appeared to be a linear line with almost a hook at the end, still containing the previously mentioned white, red and green lights. This object was just above the tree line in the sky because I was watching it for movement. It stayed in the same spot, didn't appear to move other than to shift shape. It would dim out and come back brighter every few minutes or so shifting between a circle object and a linear object that contained this segment of lighting. I kept my eyes to the sky when she pointed out to the west of this initial object, another object, with the same qualities as the first, appeared in between 2 trees at the tree line. We are now observing 2 separate objects in the sky that are not mimicking each other directly, but both had the same shape shifting movements at different times. If one was a circle, the other might've been a line, etc. They most definitely had the characteristics of each other.

Over the next hour or so, 2-3 more objects appeared within the same general area as the first and second. The third object appeared more southwest than the first, but once again, mimicking the same patterns as the first and second object and again, at different intervals. They were never making the same shapes at the same time. As I was getting ready to leave, which was right before 10:00pm, I noticed the first object had moved from the top of the tree line to the top of the cabin line. By using the calculation of where it first appeared to where it was as I was getting ready to leave, I could infer that it was very slowly moving down. Once I was getting ready to head home, I counted 4-5 objects in the sky that were previously not there. It was almost as if they were communicating with each other in some way by changing shape and colors. I texted my god mother to let her know I made it home safely around 10:30pm to which she informed me that she had just gone inside and they were still in the sky. I wasn't able to get any video of the shape shifting, however, I was able to obtain 2 short clips of the pulsating/dimming in and out lighting of the object(s) in circular formation. I cut the clips short because the video would go out of focus as soon as the object went dim. The pulsating light seen in these clips is EXACTLY as how I witnessed it in the sky. It is NOT because the video is trying to focus; it visibly represents what our eyes were seeing. In one of the clips, you can sort of see the circle object of the third one that appeared but I mainly focused on the first circle I witnessed. In the other clip, you can see a green object at the bottom of the screen that was not apart of the objects in the sky, it was something on top of the roof, but it depicts how when I zoomed in on the object in the sky, the zoom did not effect that green object (pulsating) but clearly shows the object in the sky pulsating. All in all, I was able to get about 4 clips that CLEARLY depict this object pulsating, especially when compared the green object on the top of the cabin. I'VE SLOWED THESE CLIPS DOWN TO 50FPS SO YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE PULSATING LIGHTS (you can see them as well in the 100fps clips as well)

Triangular craft with lights at the vertices, hovering over my house for less than a minute then disappeared.

Was outside my house at 11:14pm, noticed a triangular shaped craft in stationary position above my residence, several thousand feet perhaps in the air. I have seen these triangular craft on several other occasions and with enough visibility to determine it is NOT a commerical flight or plane, it is triangular not shaped like a normal plane. I have very clear night visibility here and am able to discern the difference. I also have checked my commerical flight apps that I use as a licensed drone operator and can confirm no flights have been recorded in the area on the flight radar apps. I recorded for 15 seconds or so after my eyes adjusted to the darkness and I was surprised, then it disappeared.

4 flights of pale white lights traveling in a Chevron formation

Witnessed 4 separate flights of dim pale white lights traveling in a Chevron formation. First flight was 5 objects in a symmetrical Chevron traveling due east to due west. Second flight was also 5. Third flight was 7 with two on the left side and 5 on the right. Fourth flight was 2 objects headed south east to north west, headed directly for Washington DC. Objects were above the clouds, which are cirrus and roughly 30,000ft+in elevation. Formation appeared to be several times the size of easily visible commercial air traffic. No strobes visible on any of the objects. Objects traversed horizon to horizon in roughly 5 seconds. Right estimate based on cloud height and traversal speed outs them at roughly 8000-8500mph. Zero noise. Spotted within 20 miles of Washington DC. Uh1 Helicopter was doing a low level search type pattern as soon as the first flight went over. All crickets and peeper frogs silenced when the objects flew over

I observed at first one large oval shaped aircraft then was joined by two smaller aircraft looking to be same design and colors.

On 13 April 2025 at approximately 2027 hours (8:27 PM) while on patrol of McDaniel College, I was located on the SW side of the campus. I observed what appeared to be a bright white light moving it appeared to be moving to the NE at a slow speed. I looked and did not observe FAA lights. There is the Carroll County regional airport close to us, it is a small airport. It would be located behind and off to my NW. I was able to rule out small private aircraft one by the size of the light and what I could make out of the fuselage of the aircraft. I could just make out that it had an oval shape and was a silvery to white color. A couple of seconds the main craft was joined by two smaller craft of what appeared to be the same design, just smaller. Same coloring, the two crafts moved to about a 45-degree angle formation to the front of the larger craft. The small craft on my right there left all of a sudden, shot super-fast to the other side of the second small craft, then up and back over to the original location in the formation. This maneuvering was super-fast and stopped on a dime instantly. After approximately a minute, the two smaller craft split off from the main craft at proceeded off to the SE at what appeared to be the same speed. The larger craft was slowly phased out and was not observed again. I lost track of the two smaller crafts behind some trees. Approximately two minutes later, a Carroll County Sheriff unit came up on the dispatch channel and asked, " Do you have any reports of drones up in the area?" Dispatch replied, " There was a report of drone activity looking for an animal on the other side of the county." There was no further radio traffic.

Approximately three minutes after that radio traffic, I observed three military black hawk helicopters blacked out and moving fast in the direction that the smaller craft had last been observed heading.

I am an officer with McDaniel College, and I am on the 2000 hours to 0600 hours shift. We do regular patrols of the campus and surrounding areas all night. Please feel free to contact me if there are any further questions/

3-4 Objects in the Sky

I was outside walking my dog and I looked up (as I always do) and watched the sky for a bit while my dog roamed around. Normally, I'll see random things that I think are UAP's because of the way they move. I do live near an air field, so it's not uncommon for planes to fly around. I absolutely 100% know the difference in what an airplane looks like (lights, size, sound, etc.)

Tonight, however, I look up and I see this small (pretty far up in the sky and it's a bit cloudy) object flying in a straight line (north), stopping randomly but then would continue on its way. I watched this one object for a minute or so when all of a sudden, it disappeared. So while I'm still looking to see where this object went to, all of a sudden, another object, same size and shape, same distance above my head as the other, appears out of thin air and starts going the opposite direction (south) then abruptly stops almost directly next to yet ANOTHER object (same dimensions, etc. as the others) and the two objects look as if they're communicating with each other because their lights start flickering back and forth...the one object that was moving before, continues on as the one it was communicating with, literally disappeared.

Definitely made me say out loud, WOW...Those were 100% UAP's. Pretty amazing to see and even more phenomenal to know that we aren't alone.

Looks like a bright star in the Northwest sky but is very fast. Moving and blinking. Movements are very remarkable.

At about 12:04 noticed a flashing blinking bright star in the Northwest sky above Potomac Maryland. Viewed from 20814 zip code in Bethesda. The blinking star made remarkable movements that cannot be an aircraft or helicopter. It hovered for about 25 minutes blinking and seem to have other colored lights besides white. The movements were inverted triangle and semi-circular pendulum movements. Disappeared within 25 minutes.

Rotating strange shaped object flying a few hundred feet above the ground traveling maybe 100 plus miles per hour

Saw a rotating object coming towards me from the south. As it got closer the shape became more clear. It didn't resemble a craft or a drone. It had a strange angular shape that looked like 2 pieces of metal stuck together off center and spinning. Sunlight would reflect off it as it spun. No noise at all as it passed over. No visible means of propulsion. Not an aerodynamic shape at all.
Speed, direction, altitude and spin rate were consistent the whole time.

Whatever it was, it was headed in the general direction of the Montgomery County Air Park. My concern is that it could hit another low flying aircraft in that vicinity. I had my phone with me and it never crossed my mind to take a picture or video. Hopefully someone else also saw it and had the presence of mind to take a picture.

9:30PM observed strobing lights flying East to West and then abruptly stopping and hovering.

The lights seem to move around a bit, and there appears to be 2 or 3 of them. They are giving off a strange arc of light from whatever they are attached to. There is no noise. Local police said they have nothing in the air. Despite the wind being very gusty, it is extremely stable in the air and does not seem to be affected by it. These are not lights you'd see from a star, from a plane, or a helicopter. The police suggested a star link, but this is not a string of lights. There is one light which appears to be on the left side of whatever it is, one on the right side, and then one possibly underneath or at the back of it. It is hard to see any distinct shape of the craft as it is dark. The lights all seem to be primarily white, some shade of green once in a while. They are not strobing or blinking, they seem to be more flickering, almost like the twinkle you'd see from a star. But this is also giving off a sort of cone of light from the light sources.

Thin Boomerang shaped, see thru cloud moving fast.

My wife and I are not UFO believers in anyway. We were in our hot tub to observe the lining up of planets that she had heard about. We were getting ready to get out when I observed a boomerang shaped cloud flying toward us and over our heads. I immediately started pointing up at it and getting her to look at it. She saw it for about a couple of seconds, but enough that she was like what the heck was that. It started out in the southern sky and came straight over our heads and ended into some denser clouds. The sky was fairly clear above us, but had some misty clouds around the edges. There was no wind anywhere in the sky and no other clouds were moving. It was like the size of a flock of geese flying low and probably that same height. It had a perfect boomerang shape but was like a thin misty cloud and I was surprised at how fast it was moving and it was gone in like 5 seconds. I don't think clouds could move this fast or even stay in this perfect shape for that distance it traveled. I am one of those people who looks up at shooting stars and satelites and I have since I was a kid, so this is a first for me and I will never forget what I saw. I can only hope that someone else saw it as well.

And it was not a Lenticular cloud or anything like that. It was something unusual and for now unexplainable.

8:22pm Mt. Airy, MD 2 very bright orbs appeared in the sky and moved slowly for over an hour with multiple witnesses.

We were leaving Mt. Airy's downtown around 8:20pm and as we were driving we noticed the brightest light in the sky, like a spotlight. We checked the skymap and nothing, I check the sky radar and nothing was on it but the light was getting closer and brighter, it was like bright white and orange and kind of pulsing but hard to see through the trees of the winding road. As we crossed the bridge onto Bartholomew we saw them, bright as anything and diamond shaped. Just kind of lightly bouncing and moving ever so gently away from us now. They were both in the sky for at least 30 min. There was a perfect view of them at my friends house on her street and I stood watched them outside for about 20 min. and was almost exactly west of one of them but that one was very close to Bartholomew Rd and moved east and away towards my friends house, she recorded a video and was able to get the 2 orbs it. The dogs were all barking. I had another person on another side of the county who also saw them and someone posted on a Mt. Airy page about them so, it wasn't nothing! The other thing moved SW. They were pulsing and almost diamond in shape. They were so bright it was almost like the eye of freaking Sauron up there. This isn't the first time I've seen something weird in the skies in the area but this was the first time I've seen it with so many people in so many other places also experiencing it but no one else really talking about it.

NUFORC Note:

​On February 22, 2025, at 8:22 PM in Mount Airy, Maryland, two bright objects low in the eastern sky were likely Mars and Jupiter. During this period, Mars and Jupiter were prominent in the evening sky, with Mars appearing as a reddish-orange dot and Jupiter shining brightly. Both planets were visible to the naked eye and would have been positioned in the eastern part of the sky at that time.

I saw a slow moving craft with 4 bright lights and a strange "L shaped" light below it

I was driving to work along Penns Hill Road, Maryland when I noticed strange "plane". I live in an area with lots of air traffic to BWI and DCA, this was unlike anything I've ever seen. It moved slowly, but was clearly moving, and I noticed 4 very bright, very white lights in a row, and underneath those lights I could see what looked like an L-shaped structure, also covered in lights. This was in the middle of the morning with the sun out, so I was surprised to see lights so uniform and so bright. I watched it on my drive for about a minute, then it just simply disappeared. I tried again to keep searching the sky for it and I never saw it again. I thought maybe it was a sunlight reflection, or something explainable, but I can't put my finger on it. I haven't seen it on any other drives in the morning. I have a dashcam so I pulled the footage, and there is nothing there, which really freaked me out, and also leads me to believe it may have been a reflection on my windshield, but...I don't know. It's not sitting right.

From a distance the first one looked like a giant “star” and a plane flew over it. That is when I realized it was massive. When it got close I saw red, green, and white lights flashing. The craft got even closer going over my car and it was massive like house size massive. I got a blurry picture while driving before it got super close. Maybe 5 minutes after it past two much smaller ones past over.

Have been looking out my windows for weeks and tonight I see a bright light with multiple aircraft/drones flying around it

I have been looking out my windows every night since November trying to see if I see anything different. Tonight when I look out, I see a bright light that has never been there before with multiple aircraft/drones flying back and forth around it. I called my family to come out so they could see it too. When I videoed the bright light, it looked like it was changing colors. We thought that the bright light was stationary but after about 15 minutes we noticed that it was very slowly moving down and after about 20 minutes we couldn’t see it anymore and the drones that were flying around it were gone too.

I noticed a super bright star putting my son to sleep. I realized it was lower than a star and MUCH brighter. My friend saw one later

It was still and too low in the sky to be a star. It didn’t move the whole time I looked, snapped a photo, or anything. I walked away and told my friend over the phone and when I went back to check it was no longer there. This is not the only time ive seen this either and I’ve always considered it strange because of how bright and low it is as well as it’s not moving. My friend couldn’t find it in the sky by her house so it wasn’t a star and it couldn’t be viewed from my other windows as the building blocked it, that’s how low it was. It almost looked like it was made of light. My friend saw very similar by her own house which I will include in the photos as well but hers had green lights. Mine was pure white. Also, this was visible with the naked eye so I know it wasn’t a light trick. It was physically there. I also had dreams of aliens the night I saw it before and am having sleep disruptions tonight which I don’t often have.

Craft hovering directly over highway

Driving down eastbound 341, I saw what I at first thought was a drone hovering directly over the center of the highway ahead of me. Getting closer, I realized it wasn't a drone. It was so close to the ground and did not move. It could've been triangular, but I'm pretty sure that it had 4 extensions; 1 on each side and 2 on the side facing east. These extensions were not wings, they almost looked like landing gear without wheels. It rose to a dull point at the top. It was a very dark color, darker than the sky, but very obviously not black. It was very low to the ground and had rapid flashing white and red lights. There was also a much slower, smaller flashing green light that was on the on the point of the top of the craft. When I drove below it it was easily at least twice the size of car. Probably larger.

It was dark and I was driving so I couldn't get the greatest look as I drove beneath it.

Two objects that looked like stars, circling each other

An object that appeared to be a star came flying toward what looked like another star at a high rate of speed, then stopped. Then both objects spun around each other in a clockwise rotation approximately four times, then the one on the left took off at an extremely high rate of speed down and to the left, and the other trailed off slowly to the right. Both objects appeared as a ball of light (like a star) and had no trails behind them or any flashing or navigation lights. These were not drones, planes, satellites or asteroids. I have been working night shift on the highways for almost 20 years and have never seen anything like this.

I was on the beach, when I saw a bright light on the horizon, then another came, and 3 more!

I was on the beach, looking at the sea, when I saw a distant light on the horizon, it appeared out of nowhere, it was about 200 meters above the sea I think. Just when I thought that was incredible, another smaller one appeared below. The biggest light disappeared, turned off the lights, but then came back. After that it remained static in the air, changing color, varying from white to yellow and red. The biggest light disappeared and never came back. The smaller one headed east, and appeared to change size, becoming bigger, I think the size of the other. It also disappeared out of nowhere. This must have lasted about 3 minutes. After 4 minutes, a large ball of white light appeared in the east direction, and flew west, until it became small and disappeared. 1 minute later, a light shaped like a tic tac, cigar, I don't know, headed east until it disappeared from sight. Then 2 other objects came, and they were one below and one above, they were different sizes, and the larger object that was on top changed color, from white to yellow, the one on top was shaped like a cigarette, ticking, but not it was the one above, and the one below was an orb of light. The last one I saw looked a lot like the drones that are being seen out there, it shined a lot and emitted different colors, blue, light green and red, sometimes white. It appeared out of nowhere, went down a little, close to the sea, and suddenly rose, and continued rising until it disappeared from sight. I was traveling

Multiple Drone sightings near Baltimore, MD

While driving North on I-95 in Rosedale, we noticed a drone hovering NE of our location approximately 300’ high. There were several others in various directions about a mile away from our location. The first few seconds of the video I got are the best quality. I was not able to focus my camera after that. There were no signs of a propulsion system such as a helicopter from what I could see. The lights flash in a strange pattern, changing from red, white, and green. As can be seen from taking screenshots of the first few seconds of the video.

We slowed down to try to get video, however, the drone began to move to the west - I could see it as I drove but by the time I reached powder mill road, the drone had moved too far off to the west to be seen.

Saw 4 UFOs - orbs bouncing and changing directions, speed, and shape rapidly. Also saw countless drones and airplanes.

I live on a secluded waterfront property next to a nuclear power plant in Prince Frederick, MD. I went outside last night, and I saw a glowing orb that was changing shape and colors moving throughout the sky and kind of a bouncing pattern. It was coming from the area of the nuclear power plant going towards my house, and then there was also another one coming from the area above my house towards the nuclear power plant. In total, I saw four, each came at a different time from the other one, but in very close succession, and from one of the two directions that I just described. It would appear like it was coming closer to me. At the closest point it was approx 300 ft away from me. The footage is shaky because I was not looking at the camera and I was excited. I saw it changing color and shape in the sky and it confirmed it when I zoomed it in.

I also saw several drones. These were triangular shaped flying object objects with a steady white light or a red light or red and white lights, but not like that of an airplane, and not moving in the same path that the airplanes fly, and extremely high in the sky.I’ve been outside every night for a week and a half, and this is my first time seeing something other than a plane. I am submitting the best footage, but I have more if you want. The 1 minute video is the original clip, the next video is a slowed down and zoomed in clip of that video. I also have footage of planes, drones, and stars from last night, but none of it looked anything even remotely like the UFOs. For context, I am a 26 year-old judicial law clerk studying for the bar. I’m a rational and logical person, but what I saw has no explanation. After this experience, I heard what sounded like jets for the next 2-3 hours. I also heard what sounded like a swarm of bees later on that night around 12:30 and it lasted for an hour. It was windy as hell but the buzzing/humming was clear. There were tons of planes and drones flying around. What I saw in person was crazy, but this footage is absolutely mind blowing.

10-20 fast moving white lights that appeared to be satellites at first but changed directions mid-flight before fading away

Exited my car with my 10 year old daughter. Looked up and saw two white lights traveling side by side with two objects directly behind them (similar to a T shape).

These initial objects continued southeast before turning northeast and fading away shortly afterwards.

Following the initial four objects, at least 10 additional objects (possibly more) followed the same flight path and turned northeast before also fading away.

These objects were spread out significantly more than a starlink launch, these had an estimated five second flight speed delay between them and took several minutes to pass.

They appeared to be traveling significantly faster than a plane that was also visible in the sky at the same time as these objects.

The plane and one of the objects got so close that I thought there may be a collision, but this did not occur.

I have no way to estimate the altitude of the objects.

This also occurred in fairly close distance to both Edgewood and Aberdeen Proving Grounds.

Me and a friend saw a light that looked like a really bright star in the air, it very suddenly started moving and dissapeared

Me and a friend were walking home together, and we were looking up since it was an uphill walk, and I noticed a really bright looking star hidden behind the tip of the trees. I didn’t even get time to say anything about it before it started moving in the sky rapidly, with no acceleration or anything and just vanished. I was in shock, I couldn’t believe what I had just saw so I turned to my friend and he had his mouth wide open and his arms behind his head, and he asked me if I saw that, at the exact same time I asked if he saw it. Nothing else happened but it doesn’t look like anything that’s commonly mistaken for something like that, and it didn’t have any red or green helicopter lights or anything like that.

It then seemed to descend towards me in an erratic pattern. It moved left to right in front of me just above the house lines. I tried to keep my camera still so that it could be seen moving erratically. Finally it quickly moved to the right, then above my head to left. Once again it shot up into the sky and made a crackle sound like a small sonic boom. (My video will not attach)

I saw a reddish copper fireball flying up from 118 SE, it moved southward and then moved eastward. Its was a brilliant light, it was too low to be a plane and no sound came from it. Once I yelled for others to come outside it flickered dimmed, became bright again then disappeared. I saw a white streak in the sky where the fireball was. The white streak was not visible while it was light. I don’t know the angle of elevation but it looked about 10 stories high. Planes were in the sky but they were way higher and looked like a dot compared to this fireball object.

Bright light came into view and hovered, dimmed, then shot up into the sky with a tail like a comet

My boyfriend and I are vacationing at the Ocean High condos that face the canal off Wight island in Ocean City MD. Last night we were sitting on the balcony watching some ducks arouns 7:11pm EST and saw a bright orange light that appeared to ascend from the southwest. It hovered for a moment before going dark/very dim, then it moved northeast (now with a very bright tail) and shot straight up over our building where it disappeared into the sky. As it crossed overhead, the ducks all got out of the water and were suddenly silent. The other birds/crickets also stopped chirping. There was a trail of white smoke that appeared to spiral slightly left in its wake.

There is a festival this weekend but fireworks are not until Saturday and there was only one light last night.

Camping, was stargazing and about ~100-200m above me, a bright white (almost glowing?), "tic tac" shaped craft zipped by overhead

Stargazing at campground. VERY bright white - almost a glowing white, tic tac shaped object (I want to say I saw some black on the craft in the front - perhaps windows like an airplane would - but it did not have wings & was moving SO fast I could be wrong) zipped by above me and I caught the entire thing! It appeared then DISSAPEARED. It had a visible white trail behind it - I'm not sure if this was a visual "distortion" from my eyes, unable to pick up the speed so my eyes made the trail (like a camcorder FPS too slow for an object would create a trail) , it zipped by and then either A) Went through some type of portal B) Shot off so fast it disappeared (it was already traveling very high speed way faster than anything I've ever seen! No f-16 could catch this) or C) Operated some kind of cloaking, or it's cloaking perhaps "glitched" out for those few seconds, allowing me to see it? I'm unsure but it was Incredible!!!!!

Over residential neighborhood in rural area

We observed an enormous flying object in the sky. It was completely silent and glided smoothly and slowly in the shape of a boomerang. Initially, I mistook it for a plane accompanied by smaller planes, two on each side, flying in formation. However, they were unusually close together and flew in a slow, almost purposefull manner without making any sound. They moved in perfect synchrony and the object had a peculiar outline, resembling a transparent boomerang ring with lights inside. It flew directly above us and then curved towards the park. I ran home to retrieve my camera to record the phenomenon and call on my husband to witness it. By that time, the object had transformed its shape, and the lights were blinking, forming a perfect triangle. Subsequently, they dispersed in different directions and then back to triangle again. I managed to record a video of the lights appearing in various locations. I certainly know that other people in town saw that too who described it similar to what I described - boomerang shaped, big, silent and etc..

Golden fire ball, but with a big trailing fan of sparks

This was the night of the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS (also called C/2023 A3 and Comet A3) in the western sky. At about 7:39 PM, the sky was dark and I turned west to walk to my car. In the south west portion of the sky at the horizon but above the tree tops, in the distance an dark yellow/gold object was flying from south to north. There was other planes or helicopters in the air, but the object in question had a huge fan tail of sparks that seemed to be coming form the object as it moved northward at the speed of a passenger jet. The tail lasted for 2 to 3 minutes and then went out as the object continued northward.

I later checked the news to see if there was some mention of it, or some special air show show in Howard County or PG County, but there was none. It sounds silly, but the object and trail reminded me of a small goldfish with a huge tails.

Responded to our asking? "Jumping" movements, along with slow but steady 'gliding'. Many videos taken.

Came out onto porch and saw a low 'hovering orb' orange in color in the distance. Pulled out phone to record as still as possible to show its movement - it 'Jumped' as it moved at first around 11:45-12pm. Thought it may be drone at first but it clearly wasn't unless it's something I dont know of because we watched it for a good ~2 hours it should've landed to charge right. It's "jumping" movement was also impossible for a drone to do. We decided to walk towards it and I was filming on and off taking short to long clips. We are near Ft. Detrick (within 2 miles) so thought it could've been some new tech. but by the end of night I doubt it. Anyway. As we walked toward it, we watched. As it changed from orange to white. It looked like a cross almost.

I wanna say around 12:30 ish, we stood on opposite side of willowdale Dr and kept our eyes on it. I had a flash light and my gf did too so we both had shined our lights at it, I did some "Morse code" type covering of the light toward it and told my girlfriend to "ask for it" to come, or show us , "do a circle" prove it was intelligent. I played a frequency at 936.Xxhz off my phone as well. And directed it toward the object. Fascinatingly it moved towards us! I couldn't get that part on camera , I had vocally said "im putting my camera away" cause I didn't know what this thing was, I felt scared, or as if I was being watched so I kept turning around and checking my surroundings in between taking videos.

I did catch it moving on camera. It was hovering almost. But when we were "asking" for it to "show" if it knew we knew it was there, it was strange it had moved toward us as if answering us. Also - we both heard an audible, pulsating "woowoowoowoowoowoowoowoowoowoowoo" come from the distance, and another, higher pitched but constant tone noise coming from our right, or south direction (just in the air?) don't know if related just weird, and I have never experienced or seen something like this before. Also I counted at least 4 "shooting stars"! More than I've seen in my entire life! Two seemed to have been flying towards the object. I don't know if I got this on video or not I haven't gone through and watched all the videos yet - I took a lot.

We walked backwards watching after a good hour or so watching the thing sat down at a gazebo in the middle of apartment complex and I sat phone camera and hand on the table to stabilize it to try showing the object "raising up" into the sky slowly but surely, and we sat and watched at a gazebo as the object looked like it turned from vertical (it looked like a cross?) to horizontal, and slowly raised up in the sky up and up as we sat and then walked back across the street to our house. It was way up in the sky by that point and looked similar to a star. No blinking lights. It was not a plane. When zoomed in, it looked very similar to what I had seen about 10 years earlier, like a metallic sphere warping all colors of the rainbow but I don't think my phone captured that and it wasn't as colorful as the object I saw the time before. Just thought I'd mention the simularity to a "UFO" I saw over/near Andrews air force base In DC while driving truck home from work.

NUFORC Note:

Witness describes it rising form the east which would be consistsent with a bright planet/star.

Flash of light, object appeared out of nowhere and flew off.

Object came out of nowhere north/left of Cassiopeia as a flash. It looked like a spade facing to the right that appeared with a flash. The middle was black, but white lights came out of all sides of the object. As it flashed and appeared it immediately flew north/to the left. It appeared (out of Cassiopeia and flew towards Polaris. The whole incident lasted maybe 5 seconds. It was large, like a quarter of the size of the moon. It didn't look close, in fact it looked like it was in outer space.

Single orb of light no blinking. Surrounded by haze on clear night.

While driving to work this morning, I saw a bright light out of the corner of my eye. My first thought was moon because of the pure white light, but I was clearly wrong when I looked. It was a stationary orb of light surrounded by an odd shape of haze/fog. The light coming from the orb didn’t seem to behave light normal beams of light; it seemed to create a tail like a comet even though it was not moving. As I rounded a bend in the road, the angle of the event changed slightly so I knew it was close; I would approximate about 300ft up. I had my music up loud and did not think to turn it down; not sure if there is any noise associated with the event. Trees along the road obstructed my view; I was able to slow down due to no traffic behind me, but I never came to a complete stop. After loosing sight for a bit, I then saw more of a horizontal beam of light that appeared to be traveling away from me at a steady (but not extraordinary) pace. It looked like it was heading into more cloud cover and had more of an orange color. The haze/fog that was left behind was glowing even after the orb was completely gone

Notes:
-Pitch black; perfectly clear morning. While walking to my car this morning I stopped to stargaze because it was so clear and dark
-Approximate time was 5:30am on 9/10/24
-Haze or fog surrounding object on an otherwise clear morning
-Haze remained in original location after object moved on and continued to glow
-Single stationary orb of light; no blinking

Approximately 10 to 15 strobing lights in a cluster slowly moved from one side if the sky to another. The lights would pause at times

On August 28, 2024, at approximately 9:23 pm, i, and my family witnessed a cluster of strobing lights in the distance. There were around 10 to 15 lights in the cluster. The lights were first spotted from our home in Mardela Springs and moved gradually from the from the North west to the east the lights would pause in areas and remain stationary for a few moments before continuing on . The lights eventually began to move down to the horizon where we lost sight of them, north east of my house. I recorded the lights on my phone and have the recording saved. I have seen numerous airplanes and helicopter before and this was not a match. It did not seem likely to be a cluster of drones either due to the distance they had travelled and the number if total lights. There were times where the lights were reduced down to just a few in a single cluster, with others further away independent of the cluster. I have worked in federal law enforcement for 15 years, often working at night. This was the first time i have ever seen anything like this.

Note: my daughter claimed to have seen a red light pass between two of the strobing lights one time. I did not witness this exchange as i was not looking upat the time. She stands by her account. She is 14 years old

After this incident, there was the sound of 2 jets crossing the sky, i could not see the jets, but it sounded as though they were moving from south to north. Unknown if it was related.

Buy the time I got my camera I see multiple orb-like stars of different brightness and speeds coming from all directions. A few even turned around and went up and out of view. They seemed to have been going from one area in the sky and then coming back, like they were delivering something.

I noticed a very intense white pin point source of light at the lower portion of Ursa Major at 11:30PM. This light was a white color which lasted about 5 seconds and then completely vanished. I ignored this until I saw within minutes two other lights behaving in the same manner but not as intense in
brightness. This drew me to get my binoculars and get on my deck to observe the area better. The intense bright lights fading away went on over and over every 2-5 minutes for over an hour, while I also noticed multiple UAP (most in a 2- flight formation- one above the other - and at times three flight
with one above another and a third UAP trailing the other two- see my drawings included). These less bright UAP were visible to the naked eye, but were much better observed through my binoculars. I tried to video and take still pictures with my IPHONE 13, however it was not capable of imaging the UAP. I also observed one object go in the opposite direction (from NNE travel to a NNW track and make an abrupt change in its flight path going at a right angle before fading out At that point I called the Carroll County Sheriffs Office, The Maryland State Police Westminster, MD barracks as well as Leidos Flight service (1-800WXBRIEF) to see if they had any PIREPS or radar hits. None of the aforementioned agencies offered any ideas or help. I stopped viewing the objects myself at 1:30 AM as I had to get to sleep, however at the time they continued to just keep showing up every 2-3 minutes.

These WERE NOT star link satellites, as I have observed these many times and these objects did not display ANY characteristics of Starlink satellites. I have never witnessed regular satellites that fly in formation or flights of three and or appear so rapidly in succession. These objects appear to have been close enough to P40 (Camp David -site R) to be concerning.

My daughter, who is 18, also witnessed these objects with me.

Who am I:

I am a licensed medical profession and a private pilot (200 hours, single engine land). I was not under the influence of ANY medication or alcohol.

I thought it was a star until it shot closer at high speed. Completely silent, it slowed, then shot into the sky and vanished.

My son and I love to use the telescope to star gaze and look at the moon. That's what we were doing when the sighting happened. My son and I are both familiar with satellite activity, and I know that this was NOT one. My son was lining up with the moon when to the southeast I saw (what I thought) was a very bright star. I tapped my sons arm and showed him where to look. We both agreed that it looked like it was moving. It must have been traveling northwest at a very high rate of speed. I thought this was a star, that's how small it looked. But it was almost on top of us in 10 seconds, and it was much bigger. It was also higher up than any commercial flight I have ever seen. It was completely silent and slowed its rate of speed to almost a hover. It then shot straight up into the sky and vanished in a matter of seconds. We stood there watching to see if there were any more moments where it disappeared, but there wasn't.

Three Silver Orbs Flying from the North Over the Inner Harbor Towards the East

Yesterday, late morning, while I was on my back patio, as I drank some coffee, I looked up towards downtown Baltimore, between Camden Yards and the Inner Harbor area of the city, and I noticed three distinct silver orbs in the air. They appeared to be at the altitude of where commercial jets fly. As mentioned in my summary, they were coming from the north. They didn't appear to moving fast, but that could be inaccurate since I was on land. They intersected with one another from time to time. They moved across the sky towards the east over the Inner Harbor. I witnessed their movement the entire time until they disappeared from view.

Saw it moving from the sky downward

I saw the object moving from the sky downward in a fast sideways motion. Almost looked like a shooting star, but it was coming from the sky to the ground and it has a bright light on it that was green and blue but it was bright like a white light. It is really hard to explain. It had all those colors, around the middle part and the light was shining off of it and following it also. It did not move like a plane, it was more like a vector of a shooting star in an arched motion that was falling. At first I thought it might be something from space falling into the atmosphere, but it would have not had the type of lights it had. It was extremely bright and I said out loud, "what the f is that? What the f is that"? Because it was just something I had never seen before. I could not see if it landed because the object went out of my view due to the surrounding area.

Circular Drone type Craft with 2 green blinking lights to the rear of the drone or craft.

I was out feeding my feral cats when looking up into the night sky I noticed what I thought was a helicopter but with no sound. I then realized it was a drone type object, silver in color, small circular object - smaller than a soccer ball but bigger than a softball. It was hovering over my neighbor’s house at 12 Roaches Lane in Reisterstown, Maryland up about 50 feet off of the house. It had one red blinking light. It hovered for about 15 seconds and then shot over to Roaches Run Park across the street, lowered itself and hovered over the park and within 15 seconds took off in a northerly direction. When the object was hovering over the park, the one red light turned into two green lights. The object took off in an enormous amount of speed when it finally disappeared.

The object then returned for a second night - basically did the exact same thing and I have not seen it since. I have never seen anything like this in my entire life (aged 59 years of age).

White circle seen falling, with white vapors coming from the bottom and flowing back around and behind the object

Object was visible in the early morning sky appearing to be white, circular and falling straight down through the atmosphere. Time was right around 5am, Eastern. White "vapors", a la contrails, were clearly visible and appeared to emanate from the bottom side of the object and trail back around and behind the object.

The object did not appear to be on fire, as there were no visible flames, indicating a possible fall from within the lower atmosphere.

The vapors seen did not extend out from the object, as if they would if they originated from a rocket motor, but rather they resembled what is commonly seen with objects falling from miles above the earth, from a much colder atmosphere into warmer air.

Driving-bright light "vehicle" came out of nowhere in the country made no noise was close enough to touch us for 1.5 mi & disappeared

Alien? Ghost Car?

Last Friday night a friend and I were driving down Old National Pike Road in between Mt. Airy and New Market MD around 9:15pm and as soon as we turned onto the road this vehicle comes barreling down on us. I'm driving the speed limit, and then start going a bit faster because this thing just keeps coming and is flashing these lights, but the lights weren't the color of normal headlights. The lights were a blue, but not dark Christmas light or cop light, but this like dashboard blue and when they were flashed they were super bright. Kind of like the new techie car high beams and very “sparkly” for lack of a better word. The lights were also not the shape of any car lights I've seen before, rectangular and then with this weird flourish above them.

After they first flased their lights many times at me immediately my first thought was maybe something was wrong with the car, I checked the mirrors (no axe murderer in the back seat) no gauges lit up my car was driving ok, so I assumed the guy was just a jerk. So, my friend said that I should pull over up ahead and let him pass and I said he needed to get a grip, or something of the like and I also wanted to find a better place than just the shoulder of the road in the middle of the country (hello, horror movie 101) to pull over going now over 50+mph on. So, the vehicle is just barreling down us, no guessing what his intentions are, very menacing, you really couldn't get much closer to my car at this point, but as I look in my side mirror I can see a car a few car lengths behind this thing driving the speed limit so at least we weren’t completely alone in the country with this asshole. All the while we feel like we are a part of the most freaky 3 minutes of our lives.

Finally we see up ahead a slow driver right hand lane place up ahead and I gun it and get ready to pull over there and let this thing pass us. As I do, I was getting ready one or two things. 1.) We were about to get full on rammed from behind or 2.) This guy is gonna go zooming by swearing and honking at us. That's the other odd thing, this guy never once honked.

So, as I gun it and pull to the right getting ready to check out whoever this asshole was that harassed us for the last three minutes ….fucking nothing happens……Nothing. We didn’t get rear ended, didn't get honked at, didn't get sweared at. The thing, just disappeared. It never passed us.

The car that was a few car lengths behind whatever this was came driving by about 15 seconds later, but not in a huff, not quickly, not in the order of which things were supposed to happen. The thing, the well lit aggressive thing behind us for most 2 miles, just ceased to exist.

NUFORC Note:

There is some confusion on the date as the witness reports 6/21 yet stated it was a week ago when the report was filed on 8/14.

Two discs with orbiting lights were observed hovering above Baltimore, Maryland port.

While flying back to Baltimore International Airport from Puerto Rico, I looked at my window and saw two disc shaped crafts hovering above the city’s port. These two crafts were hiding within the clouds that hung over the city. At first, I thought there were more than 2 crafts, but after observing for a little bit longer, I was able to discern that the lights were seemingly fixed to the craft and were orbiting in a circular motion around them. They didn’t seem to move from their spot at all as we were flying by. Video attached shows the 2 crafts, it is also reflecting my planes operational lights from the glaire on the window. The crafts are located on the lower portion of the video.

Strange object in Western MD

I was walking down East 1st Street in Cumberland, Maryland when I noticed something strange in the sky. At first, I was about to lose sight of it because of the houses lining the street. However, once I passed the houses, I could still see it, so I began recording. Shortly after, a friend walked up, and I pointed the object out to him. I stopped recording, and he insisted it was an airplane, but there was no way it could be. Just as we finished our argument, I turned back to look at it again, and I saw it dip behind the mountain.

Group of lights in night sky looked different than the rest

My wife noticed a group of three stars in a row, similar to Orion's belt, that looked cloudy when the rest of the sky was very clear. These were spotted looking over the top of our house to the east, altitude varied. As we watched, the westernmost or trailing star became very bright and the entire formation seemed to get closer. A gaseous cloud emanated from the formation in a conical shape and the formation began gaining altitude until it faded away into the sky. A quick check of air traffic in our area showed zero aircraft in that direction. Aircraft headed south towards BWI or beyond were flying steady and at a different altitude than the formation.

Also it had green and red lights emanating from it which seemed to form a sort of diamond shape at one point. But then the lower beams directed outward away from the central body while the upper portion seemed to reflect lights toward each other (meeting above in the center). I tried to get a photo with my phone but it looks blurry.

I have seen shooting stars which usually appear yellow and streak across the sky and this didn't look like that. This was a big green looking ball. At first it was stationary, just appeared to be sitting in the sky like a star or a planet. As soon as I pointed it out to my husband, it dipped downwards and then disappeared. Did not appear to be a plane or anything else I have ever seen before. I do not know if this was a UFO. I thought maybe a possible meteor but found no reports of meteor showers at this time.

The red light looked like a laser shining down on the capitol building. Then the laser shut off, then it suddenly started moving at an incredible speed to the North-West. It looked like the TR-3B but with no white lights. I have seen other people file reports on seeing triangle UFOs in Washington D.C. too. I think the Air Force is trying to guard the White House.

At 1st glance lights (4) appeared slightly higher than street lamps but change into just 2 larger bright lights that tilted & vanished

I was traveling North on I-81 in Hagerstown, MD at around 5:15 in slow moving traffic. Street lamps had just come on but it was still light out when I seen 4 lights that may have been in a diamond formation or just a cluster that I thought were just a bit than taller street lamps but were offset a good ways from the interstate. I was never able to pass them, so they were not stationary at all and kept the same height and distance as I drove 8 miles of driving distance.

They continued to travel and I lost sight of them briefly when traffic slowed down. Once the traffic sped up to 50 mph I was able to regain site of them, until I was even with Hagerstown airports runway. The runway is on the eastern side of the interstate, on the western side of the interstate is farmland. Once the lights reached the farmland, they merged into 2 square lights that resembled the Lotto Shoe logo (2 squares joined but with a space) the bottom of the 2 squares was extremely bright. Much brighter than the upper portion.. Then they were gone. I did not see them go up or down or anything. Mind you this entire event lasted maybe 10-12 minutes if that long and I was driving in decently heavy traffic.

I went to take a photo of the full moon, thought I saw a star, went to show my nephew and it dropped from the sky.

At 4:16AM in the morning of October 29th, 2023, I decided to take photos of the full moon + clouds. I took the photos and noticed, what appeared to be a star to me, a singular, bright light, maintaining one spot for over 5 minutes. I went inside to show the photos to my family, talked for about 5-7 minutes then brought my nephew outside to see the moon/clouds. I pointed out the “star” to my nephew, and not soon after, we both notice it quickly drop down from the sky, at least 200 feet, then go straight back up, above the clouds.

I looked at my photos and noticed the object was hanging directly below cloud cover, right on the edge of the cloud. I know it wasn’t a plane, it maintained the same space for an extended period of time and the speed it accelerated to as it dropped would be unmaintainable for an aircraft (possible a missile could maneuver like this, but it couldn’t sit stationary).

The object was in the western sky, situated to the bottom left of the moon.

Location: Easton, MD, USA
Location details: 8736 Brenton Drive, Easton, MD 20601

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Lights on object

One continueous light with dispersed red and white lights, moving on line, not inline, SW to NE, low altitude

Long string of bright yellow light with dispersed dots of white light and one red light on left end of string as it moved across the sky from southwest to northeast. Yellow string moved as a broad front, not in a linear fashion (similar to a starlink as I understand it), along the axis of advance. Absolutely silent as it moved. Altitude estimated at 2000 to 3000 feet. Shape of the line appeared to change, as can be seen in the two pictures attached. Multiple images of the yellow line in the pictures are due to camera shake during pro-longed exposure. Unfortunately, the entire line of light is not in the pictures due to haste in grabbing the camera and taking the pictures.

white roundish size object captured on doorbell cam

On October 20th 2023, I examined my doorbell camera footage from October the 16th through the 19th and discovered a bright light the size of an aspirin over to the south/southwest direction from my home. As it ascended, the roundish white light seem to have shifted direction away from me because the size immediately shrunk, but still ascending. As the object got to the top of the video, I noticed another smaller bluish/white orb following behind it.

Location: Baltimore, MD, USA
Location details: Seen from 5th story apartment window, looked to hover far away but above guilford ave

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

2-3 flying objects that did not move much that were close enough to create a bright flash of light that fell vertically down & vanished

I returned home around 2:30 am & in my window saw 1 aircraft that I assumed was a plane. I watched it for several minutes & when it continued blinking colors I grabbed my binoculars & saw that it was not a plane. It had stopped moving when another craft appeared near it. I woke my partner up & we ended counting 3 crafts near, but not next, to each other. They were amongst/hidden by clouds for a couple minutes, however, you would still see the lights. After watching for 30 minutes we witnessed a bright light shoot vertically from in between 2 of the aircraft’s down toward the ground. The light disappeared & we had not heard a sound or any news reports. We watched them for a total of 3-4 hours before fall asleep. We assumed they remained in the sky.

Reported: 2023-10-23 17:16 Pacific
Duration: 5 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Centreville, MD, USA
Location details: I was looking SE at about 30 degrees up.

Shape: Light


Saw a distant light moving slowly and then rapidly accelerated horizontally, eventually disappearing.

As I was leaving a family member’s house, I stopped in the driveway with my girlfriend to stargaze for a few minutes. We usually like to pick out constellations, identify satellites, and can sometimes see the faint glow of the Milky Way - on especially clear nights. I am not an expert, by any means, but I do love to stargaze and can tell the difference between comets, planes, satellites, etc.

While looking SE, at roughly a 30 degree angle, I noticed what I first thought was a satellite moving relatively slowly and in a horizontal line across the sky. After moving at this rate for about 3 seconds, the white object accelerated at an incredible speed, and then disappeared.

I thought that it could be a shooting star, but when I’ve seen them, they last about a second and are moving rapidly the entire time. The object I saw, in this instance, picked up speed at a quite unbelievable rate. Another thing that set this experience apart was how long I was able to see it - 5 seconds is much longer than the length one would see a shooting star.

I also considered the possibility that it could be a satellite. However, when I’ve seen satellites, the light is much dimmer than what I saw, in this instance, they move at a uniform speed, and you can track them throughout their journey in the sky. This light was only visible for a few moments and disappeared while there was plenty of sky left.

I would say I am a UFO/UAP skeptic, but seeing this object compelled me enough to actually think a report may be useful. Maybe I am missing something here, but it was extremely impressive. I again would like to reiterate just how quickly this object accelerated. Not to be cliche, but it was like seeing a light moving at the speed of a plane, and then it accelerated like the Millennium Falcon jumping into hyperspace - no joke meant here, but I feel like it is a good analogy to really help illustrate its speed.

Location: Baltimore, MD, USA
Location details: The area is located less than a mile north of Baltimore City.

Shape: Orb


I saw this orb or something like flying very fast above my head.

I was at work, up on a extension ladder, assisting a co-worker, who was up on a steep roof painting a dormer. My job was just serve as a “weight” so he would not fall. At some point, I saw an object flying at high velocity, flying toward the northeast part of town. I told my co-worker about it, but he could not turn around on time, plus he thought I was messing with him. Then, I stopped seeing the object, mainly because my sight started seeing “dots” in sky! The one thing I am sure I saw, was an object flying very fast. It wasn’t a plane (it was too fast), I wasn’t a paper. It did look like that TicTac ufo that was reported by the Navy video that I saw on TV. Everything lasted less than 20 seconds.

Bright light then it had small "stems" coming from it like a 4 legged spider.

We were driving down Pinefield Rd going towards Christ Church Rd. We saw what we thought was a bright star or planet. We have seen it before. Tonight it appeared to be moving. The closer we got to the end of the road, it appeared to have "stem" like things coming from the center.

Shape: Other
Explanation: Contrail - Probable
Characteristics: Left a trail

Streaks of light/clouds coming down; sometimes stopping in mid air: typically making a beeline for a cloud; one turned and went back up

On Monday October 2nd, I saw multiple streaks of light/star/cloud trails enter the atmosphere. This was around 1p.m. At first I thought it was airplanes or satellites but the streaks would come straight down or come in diagonally, and go straight into a cloud. Sometimes coming out sometimes not. Or hover and get smaller and disappear. Around 6:15 the same evening, two streaks came down, one behind the other, stopped in mid air, and joined together. There was no trail; they now looked like stars. Just hovering. (The one streak came down and joined with the other that had stooped mid-air). Another streak hovered then very slowly turned around and went back up into the sky into a cloud directly above it. These seem to have consciousness. There was a round metallic sphere that went into a cloud nearby (and did not come back out while I watched) in the same vicinity around the time all these streaks were coming into the atmosphere. I only saw that once.

White orb 182° South moving very fast

Went out on the deck just looking around. White orb moving very fast 182° South in the sky. No blinking lights. Went in to get my binoculars in the kitchen (I like looking at the moon, also have 2 telescopes) and it was no where to be found in the sky. Checked the location of the ISS @ that time it was over Australia. I checked that because I thought perhaps that's what I was seeing. That's it.

Driving in my neighborhood I saw bright circular lights over the houses. They began to make formations like a straight line. The lights scattered from a formation and slowly deminished one at a time.
