Faint object with no lights, steady south-southeast path, possibly striped, appeared larger than a plane, slowly faded

On October 16, 2024, between 7:45 pm and 8:50 pm, I, along with my daughter, observed a faint, high-altitude object moving across the sky. The object traveled steadily in a straight line toward the south-southeast. It did not have any visible lights, which immediately caught our attention, as it seemed unusual for an aircraft at that altitude. The speed appeared to match that of a commercial airplane, but the absence of lights and the faintness of the object made it difficult to discern with certainty. I'm not sure if it was just faint or actually blurry. it was like looking at a camouflaged craft (no visible edges from which to discern a particular shape).

As we tracked the object across the sky, we noticed what seemed to be a horizontal stripe along its side, possibly red, yellow, or brown in color, but the faintness of the object made the exact color hard to tell. The object may have been larger than a typical commercial plane, but again, due to the distance, we couldn't be sure. It did not make any sudden turns or maneuvers; it moved in a continuous, straight trajectory until it became so faint that we could no longer see it. We noticed it at about 70-75 degrees above the horizon, slightly to our left (We were facing due east) and lost sight of it at about 45 degrees above the horizon. It moved along a bearing ranging from 70° to 135°.

We speculated that the fading could have been caused by the angle of the sun, which may have either washed it out, or the object may have simply flown too far to remain visible. The sky was clear at the time, and there were no obstructing clouds or light sources. It was only 15-30 minutes after sunset, so perhaps the object traveled into the darker part of the sky (earth's shadow). Either that, or the object was the color of the sky and just got too far away to be visible.

As observers, we have no professional aviation or astronomy background but are familiar with the appearance of commercial planes and satellites in the night sky. This object did not match the usual characteristics of either. We checked flight and satellite tracking apps afterward and did not find any commercial or known satellite matches for what we saw. The object’s size, faint appearance, and lack of navigation lights made it intriguing, and we are left unsure of its identity. We're unsure of exact height, but it could have been around 500 mph.

Two small fast moving orbs that glow

I was walking on a night in 2021 I always walked those two streets every night I can't tell you the exact time except it was at night I was in the street walking and seen two glowing type orbs, glow of greenish blueish white. It was a calm night. It happen between the months of February and June of 2021. It happen one night and only one night, just not sure what night. As I approached the two flying glowing type orbs the two started to kinda dance around me in air as I reached out to touch one it zipped away so fast it left tracers behind it and the other one stayed kinda close to me and it zipped away then one came back to me and started to fly around me then the other one came back the both of the glowing things seemed harmless it was as if they were playing a game with me like children's game of tag your it Then I looked up at the trees as I was still standing in the streeet and seen some type of sphere type thing with lights hoovering above the tree line then looked back down and the two glowing orbs type things disappeared. Nobody else was outside in their yards because of course it happen sometime on that night. I can't be certain of the time it could of been 9 pm to 3am or 4am. I did a lot of walking at different times threw the night and early morning hours.

Peanut shaped aircraft, completely silent hovering over a corn field in my town, only 50-60 yards above the ground.

I live near the Air Force base in Magnolia, Delaware, C5 and many other forms of air craft fly over my house about every half hour. This was not a plane.

I was on my way home, and I saw four lights that could’ve been no more than 50-60 yards above my local fire station. I could only tell that the craft wasn’t moving until I found myself on what looked like the left hand side of the air craft. With that being said, it was completely silent other than a very very low “hum” sound. One of the strangest things as well was that it almost seemed like there were fumes or “distorted space” coming out of the bottom. I don’t really know how to properly explain that part.

The craft looked like a peanut that was cut in half with the top half being completely round and the bottom half completely flat and just hovering in place. I realized that what I was seeing was very strange and unlike anything I’ve ever seen.

After coming to this conclusion I sped over to the parking lot! that it was hovering above but very slowing moving towards a corn field that is only about ten yards from where it was above the fire station and literally in the time that it took me (about 15 seconds) to pull into this parking lot to take a video or picture it had just as silently but quickly flown about a mile and a half over the corn field and just above a tree line until it was gone.

It was the single most incredible thing I have ever seen, I was shaking after being witness to what I saw. Wow.

Copper colored spherical object seen moving through the air at low altitude very fast.

I was in a light airplane about 1000 feet above the ground, when I noticed a copper colored spherical object moving through the air towards me at a very high rate of speed.

The ufo passed my left wing seemingly lower than me at an unknown distance.

I watched it for as long as I could until it disappeared from my sight. I could not gauge the ufo size very well but it seemed small.

Much smaller than any aircraft. But, it was very noticeable none the less.

Black UFO spotted with blue flames flying medium speed during the morning in 2015

During the morning hours between 7-9:30 sometime in 2015, in my backyard I spotted a black UFO object flying medium speed at least 1000 feet off the ground heading north. At first, I thought it was a B-2 Spirit but there's no way. It wasn't flat like the B-2, it was triangular/chevron. It had blue flames coming from the back of it and windows at the top with a door. I do not remember the exact day or time or even month because I was a kid. My father also heard the sound it made; it was a simple jet type engine sound. It also had lights, with a red flashing one. I hope this report helps, thanks.

Brigh,t round orange-red object flying across sky New Years Eve 2012 7:00pm

My husband and I went to a local convenient store on New years Eve 2012 approximately 7:00 pm. He went inside and I was just sitting in the vehicle when I noticed a big, bright orange-red round shape moving steadily across the night sky.

The light on this object was a continuous orange-red color, it never blinked, changed color, shape, or move any direction but straight.

I watch the sky pretty often and I have watched planes at night with their blinking lights, but this was different.

After watching the object for about five minutes my husband got back in the vehicle and I pointed it out to him so we drove down the road to follow it.

As we were driving down the road the object seemed to stop moving for a brief period of time.

For about 20 seconds it was out of our sight then as we regained sight of the sky again the object was just gone from the sky, it was nowhere to be seen again.

Bright Sphere

Upon coming home I always like to look into the sky to see the stars. That night, I saw an object that was flashing intensely and moving in a zig zag sort of direction. We are close to an airport the PHL of Philadelphia International. So, as always, I was skeptical.

I waited and watched the object and it was not flying like normal air traffic. The flashing was not the normal colors but bright and various red and oranges and a white. It was stationary for a few minutes like hovering in mid air.

The object zigged & zagged several times then flew straight up then down and a final 90 degree before shooting straight up into the night sky and vanished.

I do not own a digital camera that would be of quality for pictures to be submitted at this time.

I observed a bright object that appeared to be burning getting brighter and then dimmer.

AT approximately 5 A. M. on the morning of May 5, 2009, I saw a bright white light in the eastern sky. The light appeared to be inside the earth’s atmosphere as I could see stars behind the object that were nowhere near as close. From my position (in Magnolia, TX) I would place the object above the Woodlands, TX or just north of that location. The objected appeared to be burning in some manner getting brighter then dimmer. The fire appeared to be coming out of a central point at the bottom of the object. The object seemed to hover and remained stationary the entire time I watched. I went and got a pair of binoculars to see if I could see the object better, but the object was so bright I could not see past the glare. I then videotaped the object for a bit using the digital zoom to get as close as I could. At full zoom the object appeared to be a sphere; however I could not tell if this was an actual sphere or just a reaction of the camera to the brightness of the object. I checked the web to see if maybe there was a natural explanation for the light but was unable to locate anything. Clouds began to move in and I could no longer see the object.

Unidentified aircraft playing tag in the night sky over Magnolia, Arkansas

Driving north on Hwy 79, between Emerson Arkansas and Magnolia, Arkansas. I saw a light in the sky. White and of the appearance of a landing light for an aircraft.

Then I saw a second light come on very near and at the same altitude. Then I saw a third light come on very close to the other and in a straight line.

I thought of ECM flares.

The lights then went off. I could then see three flashing lights much like the strobes on standard aircraft. One strobe light went east and one went west at very fast speeds. If the altitude was 2,000 feet then the speed would have been around 500 mph. I saw the strobes stop moving and reconverge on the first sight. I then saw the strobes moving amost like playing tag.

During the next five minutes I could see the "Landing lights" turn on and turn off at random times. I thought perhaps three helicopters playing tag with their landing lights. They were much to fast for helicopters. They were too manuverable for fixed wing aircraft.

I have spent a very long time in the USAF and am a current pilot of fixed wing aircraft. I have seen just about all known aircraft under all possible conditions. I have not encountered this situation before.

My work is sensitive and I would rather not submit my contact information.

Shape: Cylinder
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Changed Colo

at 17:00 hours while looking at the western hemosphere just above the tree lines i saw what was clearly a bright orange cylinder shape slowly moving acoss the skyline.

at first glance i thought nothing of it, but then i saw some planes and a helicopter at a much closer distance and in comparison they were much smaller and certainly not behaving like the cylinder was.When i first saw the first object and grew increasingly curious i alligned my two fingers up in front of my vision to determine if it was in fact moving or not,Then it vanished abruptly right infront of my eyes.

30 seconds later I saw the same object appear in a slightly different location than as before yet to my shock as I glanced to the right, I saw three other objects that were exactly like it moving in the same fashion. At this point, there were four objects, and they were increasing in brightness and they seemed to be merging, forming one, and then they would separate. This was about 5 minutes into the occurance when a customer in the car next to me was exiting his vehicle and I asked him to look to see if he was seeing the same thing I was seeing. When I pointed to the direction of the objects, the gentlemen exclaimed, "yes, I definately see that...but I don't know what to make of it." He continued for a few minutes to watch with me, but then proceeded in to do his shopping.

Approximately 15 minutes had passed by at this point as I'm still observing, when my wife comes out with my kids to return to the car. I pointed it out to them, but the event was fading away, because at this point the horizon was succombing to dusk.

In the middle of our conversation, I stopped and exclaimed "holy crap!" Off in the distance, I saw three lights, shaped like a triangle, spinning and getting closer to us... finally, it got pretty close and lights were pretty large and they stopped spinning and just sat there.

The lights were white. No sound or anything... She saw it and we sat in awe for about 30 seconds... then, the craft turned back and jotted away very quickly.

I observed four white circles that appeared to be connected in a circular formation at a very high altitude.

My family and I were at the Magnolia parade near Queen Anne Hill and I looked straight up and observed what at first appeared to be a white weather balloon at a very high altitude. I had my compact 10 X 30 binoculars and spotted four separate white circles attached in a circlular formation. I estimate their altitude to be about thirty to forty thousand feet. They were clearly above the cloud layer that looked to be at least twenty to twenty five thousand feet. What struck me as odd was the appearance that they remained fixed in the same location for the five minutes I observed them. I periodically looked at them without the binoculars and they remained straight over my head. I also observed either an orange glow off of one circles's side or reflection of the sunlight. I was wondering why the jet stream and winds at that altitude was not pushing them away from our location. Maybe these were just some very large weather baloons at a very high altitude. After about five minutes the cloud layer moved underneith their location and obstructed our view.

I am located about 35 miles slightly northwest of downtown Houston, TX and about 12 miles directly east of Magnolia, TX. I observed two objects in the western sky emitting different color light flashes. These objects were stationery, then began movement.

Looking to the western sky, I thought I saw a red flash. I kept looking and saw two objects, both stationery, emitting blue flashes and occasionally a red flash. I kept watching and noticed some movement in a back and forth direction, first to the east, and then back to the west. After further observation, I saw some very erratic movement by these two objects. The object on the left moved in a southerly direction and then an easterly direction. The object on the right moved first northerly, and then began a circular motion. During this circular motion it would make occasional very fast darts to the east and then back. These objects were very high in the sky. The one on the left was as bright as a star, the one on the right somewhat dimmer. These objects were way to high to be any kind of helicopter or other aircraft that I am familiar with. After 50 minutes of watching this, i saw some kind of green flash of light go across the sky, much lower than these two objects. At that point, I went inside my house. I went back outside 12 minutes later, and the objects were no longer there. I am a 39 year old male. I have a BBA in management and have worked for the same company in sales for 16 years. I have never seen anything before I believed to be a UFO and frankly did not believe in them. Tonight I witnessed something that I can not explain. Again, these objects were not any kind of commercial aircraft. I do not believe any kind of military aircraft could make these erratic maneuvers.

Saucer-like object seen just south of Dover AFB.

I was driving south on South State Street (alternate Route 113) headed home toward Frederica. I had just stopped at a traffic light at the intersection of South State Street (alternate Route 113) and Sorghum Mill Road located at Rising Sun.

My son, who was in the car with me, and I both saw an illuminated object that appeared to be close to the ground in the next town of 2 and 1/2 miles distance south on that road. As the object was located along the road we were traveling, we continued to see it as drove along Alt Route 113. Before entering the town of Magnolia, it became apparent the object hovered directly above trees in the center of the town. Alternate Route 113 intersects the town and the Magnolia Fire station is located on the northbound side of alternate Route 113 at the intersection of Walnut Street. The object was hovering directly above trees and houses located behind the Magnolia fire station and along East Walnut Street.

The object was round, at least 900 feet in circumference. The saucer had 3 sections, a dome, a middle section and a bottom section. The dome-like top , had one large white or off-white light forming the top of the dome. The center of the saucer had lights of varying colors that were oblong (almost square) in shape, with rounded corners. These lights were either blinking or the center of the saucer was rotating. I did not focus on them long enough to determine which. The bottom had off-white or light yellow lights that did not seem to blink or move. The object was no more than 300 feet away from the road in front of the Magnolia fire department. I did not hear any noise coming from the object and the trees below the object did not seem to be disturbed by any wind. Just across from the fire station, facing south, there is a water tower. The unidentified object was directly behind the fire station (facing east) and hovered lower than the water tower. We were in clear sight of both the object and the water tower and there was absolutely no mistake that we were seeing an object other than the water tower.

I remember saying out loud to myself that I could not be seeing what I was seeing. I also recall asking my son, who was 10 years old at the time, if he would mind if we stopped and took a closer look. He seemed calm, but said he was scared and just wanted to go home. As soon as we got home - about a 5 minute drive further south along blank road, my son asked if we could go back and take another look. We had not even gotten out of the car yet and I immediately headed back. The object was no longer there.

Oval shaped object with flashing lights had no sound & it only was there few minutes & left as a flash thru the sky.

Late one afternoon my son & I were traveling home on a usually busy interstate but this day or moment we were the only ones there as this craft came over some trees about couple hundred feet maybe ahead of us it then came to a total stop n dead air, I slowed down and we passed under this object it had no sound what so ever. The object was greyish pewter color & had very small twinkling lights all around it. As we passed under & away from this object I slowed down & pulled over ( My son screaming & hollering that they want to take us) He's always claimed this. He was about 10 at the time & refuses to discuss this even now, But as we were looking back maybe few seconds passed & it just left in a flash & I do mean FLASH that all we saw was a blurr.

1985 ufo over Magnolia Public School

Appox 10 pm I was sitting watching tv with my parents.when the tv got fuzzy. we heard some people making noise outside a few minutes later. when my dad looked outside to see what was going on he called us all outside. directly across the street from my house is a school yard , aprox. 100 yards away. hovering aprox 200 feet above the school was a huge bright white completely illuminated egglike sphere with a band of changing colored lights along the perimiter of this craft. we are located about 20 miles from phila. inter.airport. we were out side along with all of our neighbors looking up at this object it was about the size of a football feild. when airport traffic paterns came in our direction the object would black out almost invisible but because of our close distance we could still see it. we tried to call the local news stations but all outgoing calls ended busy even to other phones in our house as if it was jamming the phone lines and the cable was messy too.the object hovered silent for apox. 20 - 25 minutes the ramped up i guess is the best way to describe it , (it started speeding up the color changing lights as if it was building power) and it took off straight up in the air at a speed unimaginable, so fast it left a visual trail of light in the air almost like if you span a picture of a moving light it trails.everyone stayed out side for a while and taked about what it might be. we never saw it again.
