I was showimg real estate up Coniff Creek a hawk started flying around. We took photos saw a object in photos later

Showing 160 acre parcel up Coniff Creek, A hawk started acting upset, but kind of far from us. My client and I both took photos. When I got home I was looking a my phitos and saw an object. We could not see or hear it when we were up there. Perfectly peaceful, except the hawk. After a couple minutes, it calmed down.

NUFORC Note:

Possibly an insect in the close foregraound.

We were flying a plane and seeing what looked like stars with lights which would bright and dim zipping around the sky at high altitude

While flying an airplane me and the other pilot and flight attendants who came to view saw lights circle white zipping around the sky fast and slowly. The light would get very bright to nothing and would move all around up and down. It moved at speed far greater than any fighter aircraft even and up and down at incredible rates. They would form triangle shapes and v shapes or just random assortment. Some would be seen only at once then appear in groups. Saw some in an entire different part of the sky much higher 2 moves also in random form but these only for a short time the others were which while flying easy looking like about a 030 heading over Canada going all over but stayed in the same small general location of the sky.

We saw two lights moving slowly, fading in and out, several miles to our west.

Local conditions: Clear sky, no clouds, no Moon. Temp: 18° F

While sitting on the living room couch I observed what at first appeared to be a star very low on the horizon to the west. As I watched it grew brighter and was moving at slow speed from right to left. It then faded out. Within several seconds it reappeared in the same area and was still moving slowly. I turned off the lights and went to the window with binoculars and watched as a second light appeared in the same proximity. Both lights moved in apparently random directions and both faded and grew in intensity. The color was the same on both: about the same orange color as the planet Mars. But Mars was almost directly overhead and nowhere near the sighting, so it was helpful in the comparison of color, size and brightness. There was a star a very short distance to the left (south) of where these lights were moving and it provided a stationary reference and color comparison. Their intensity varied from slightly smaller than Mars to very dim and fading out. At times they were both visible and sometimes only one was visible. The lights were about 5° - 10° above the horizon. The objects were present and moving, fading in and out, for approximately 15 minutes.

There were no commercial aircraft visible during the sighting. We typically see commercial (or military) aircraft at altitude and are familiar with their appearance and flight characteristics.

Local topography: Our house is at an elevation of approximately 5, 980 ft above sea level. There is a neighborhood road to our West-Northwest, called Valley Drive. To the west of this road is a ridgeline lying parallel with the road. In the distance Mount Emerine is visible approximately 12 miles away and perpendicular to the line of sight. These two lights were moving around above the horizon, and between my location and Mount Emerine. Their heading from my location was between 288° and 293°.

I contacted a neighbor, Kiera Smith, to ask if by any chance they were operating drones just then and she replied no, they don’t own any drones. No other neighbor lives in that direction that I could contact. All the land in that direction is open cattle range land. There have been cattle mutilations reports to local law enforcement in the past.

My wife was also present and observing the lights. She confirms the same description and movement given above.

Bright low altitude orb with oscillating with light, hovering in place for about 25 minutes then disappearing.

The other witness and I were walking up on to the front porch when I looked up in the sky and a bright light caught my attention in the west, looking out towards the airport. The light was orb shaped approximately 500 feet altitude and seemed like it was just above the neighborhood on the Westside. It was not far away and was not moving and looked like it had rays coming off of it because it was so bright. I had the other witness grab our 20-140x80 zoom binoculars and I started to take footage on my 2022 Motorola Edge Plus cell phone. At first from the naked eye the orb looked bright white/golden orange with rays. It kind of looked like it was oscillating or the rays were moving. The witness with the binoculars zoomed in super close and said its appearance was unexplainable. I zoomed in with my phone which isn't as good, and saw the orb more bright white with a warped or oscillating effect. I got to check it out in the binoculars and when I saw it zoomed in, it looked a bit different. It had an orange/white aura and a nucleus like center that was red. I could also not explain what I was seeing in the binoculars. The witness and I observed the orb for about 15 mins at different angles and locations on the property. We went inside for about 10 minutes. I went back outside to see if it was still there and it had completely disappeared. From when we saw the orb to when it disappeared was about 25 minutes total and didn't move, but maybe seemed like it shifted at times. We are both open minded but skeptical individuals. We both agree the location, appearance, duration was not anything we knew of and we both can't find a logical explanation besides UAP.

Saw bright light above mountain, was staying in one spot. Disappeared after 15-20 minutes

My mom and I walked outside of our house to my car and saw a bright light above Mount Helena. I took a video and it eventually disappeared after 15-20 minutes. It wasn’t moving up or down but it did look like it was maybe spinning.

NUFORC Note:

There is a trail to that spot so possibly some kind of light that was carried up there.

The first object looked like a helicopter and the second object was a luminescent orb.

The first object flew around erratically, then an object flew fast down from a nearby mountain range, then I noticed a bright yellow orb, which changed colours constantly, yellow to red, in and out, moving from side to side. Hard to answer your other questions because the two objects were very different.

Woke early to go hunting and while making coffee noticed 3 orange/amber colored orbs while looking due east out kitchen windows. Moving left-right/north-south at varying altitudes. Light/color intensity changing as objects moved from side to side. Quickly checked flight radar and starlink to see if it could be conventional aircraft of possible starlink satellites. Only registered crafts I could see currently in the air were were far away near Great Falls and Billings MT. Size from my vantage point roughly 1.5 times what Venus looks like with the naked eye from Earth.

Bright light appeared and then silver craft descended over highway

This was reported to me by my co-worker last Monday and I am filing a report so there is a record.

Co-worker said that he and his wife were driving east on I-90 and were between Greycliff and Reed Point when they saw a bright light high in the sky over their car. He joked that it must be one of the drones people are freaking out about. Then his wife said it wasn’t a drone and leaned forward to look (she was the passenger). The last guy was moving very fast and then zipped in front of them directly overhead. It came down low over the highway and they could see that it was some kind of silver object with lights. It hovered for a second and then shot away very quickly and completely disappeared. I asked my co-worker what he thought it was and he said he had “absolutely no idea” and had never seen anything like it. Did not look like a drone to him.

I noticed an odd star formation in a precise line, three ‘stars’ in a row. I’ve never seen them there before. I began recording. They were hovering and one by one began floating up toward the atmosphere and disappeared. About 10 minutes later, they reappeared. Eventually, something floated over to one of the lights and then left. One by one, the lights moved up and disappeared again. I have all on video

Myself, my husband, and our 6 year old child had driven up to a recreation area out of the city in the foothills of the mountains to get a view of the (I think it was the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) comet. My husband walked up the hill and under the trees, so he was not with us in the parking lot when we had the sighting. We were viewing west with binoculars to get our sights on the comet, which we found above the tree line and upslope of the mountain. Presently, we saw a shooting star in the same vicinity. A few minutes later, we looked up again and saw a series of white lights slightly to the north of the comet (but still within the same sight-view). It was difficult to discern the distance and size of the series of lights, but it seemed obvious to us that the many lights were part of one large object. After a moment, we could tell that it was moving toward our direction. The lights were oriented in a straight line and at approximately a 60 degree angle. There was one larger light at the top end, and set back a space behind, a series of perhaps ten smaller white lights. My son and I perceived the exact details of this object differently. We agree on these basics of the description, but he also saw a central "stick" with the small lights traveling in a loop around the entire thing. We heard no sounds. The lights did not flash. They did not travel across the sky like the starlink satellites appear to in the videos that we watched. After viewing this UFO for a few moments and seeing that it appeared to be getting closer, I got scared and took my child to hide in the car. I didn't even think to get out my phone or try to get a better view with the binos. My husband returned 2, 3 minutes later. He had not seen anything. We got out of the car and looked around and the object was gone.

Large Multiple Cubes

A large or multiple cube object, illuminated by five or six lights was located in the sky towards the west of the city. This was an extremely large object. It was visible for about two minutes. I would estimate the object to have been at a minimum of one thousand feet long. There were several airplanes in the sky towards the north which were normal. It was hovering in the shape of a backslash on a keyboard. It didn't seem to moving any specific direction. It was the largest thing I've seen in the sky. After about one minute and thirty seconds, the lights went out.

Fastest flying object I’ve ever witnessed, defied the laws of physics for how fast and sharply it turned.

At first I thought I was seeing a shooting star except it never burnt up, then I knew it was something when it suddenly veered 90 degrees without losing any speed. All of a sudden it was going back the direction from which it turned. It didn’t appear to even stop before doing the 180. It was if it were somehow able to be going the speed of light without ever stopping or slowing down through any turn. At the end it either vanished or was going too fast for my eyes to see it anymore. I couldn’t tell how high it was exactly but noticed a bunch of planes flying right around where it did two abrupt turns. that appeared to be lower than whatever it is I saw. I live by an airport so I’m hoping a pilot or someone else looking up saw it too.

Heard a fighter jet, ran outside, saw it and cylinder off to the side quarter mile

Was lying in bed typing on my smartphone like now. Heard a very loud plane, not near the airport at all, normally they are very high altitude here. Thought immediately it was a fighter jet (strange things about the sighting though!)
Knew it was probably hauling so I hurried or ran to the door. Partly cloudy, under the clouds not far from treeline, under the clouds, buzzed over the house low altitude screaming by.

Tried to locate it quickly in the sky before it disappeared over the horizon.
Caught sight of it in a patch of blue sky for a split second, saw defined, sharp wings extended, swept back, not folded in a triangle it seemed, medium distance, it already passed overhead undetected by me except loud sound I'd identified as a fighter jet before I saw it. I've got very keen hearing and it's saved my skin once for certain! House well soundproofed, little road noise, still was loud inside, everything closed up.

This is where it gets weird. Had been above left of mountain peak, lost sight of it. Then I see like a gleaming cylinder, slightly larger than the plane I'd just seen, appear in front of the Peak, seeing it lengthwise, not the end of it, as if it had turned, nose up, not quite parallel with the ground. Hovered there a split second and it had been so fast I almost didn't see it. It appeared in a different place from where I'd seen the plane shape for a split second. Left in view quarter mile or more, half mile, maybe more. That gleamed almost bright as the sun, sitting there a split second where there's normally nothing, no metal, syspended in the air, didn't really look metallic kind of like a solid cloud, smooth edges type look, gleaming in the sun.

Then, on the trajectory of the original plane, that disappeared very low over the shoulder of the mountain. So low, that I hope they took into account the high tram cables on the summit. Previous location of the skier tram base they would have been uncomfortably close, and even closer to a chairlift that runs along the top of that ridge, steepest in the United States somehow.

Saw something more like the original plane dart over that ridge fast. What was gleaming a quarter mile off to the side? How could it execute such a sharp maneuver in front of a very large, steep mountain? Seems dangerous, crash hazard.

My distant vision is weird, normal sunglasses and googles seem to correct it to being sort of sharp, wasn't wearing any, so a little fuzzy, sharp enough to make out the pounted wings at first. I normally don't need glasses, would have helped with this, though they can get smudged easily. I only have a slight prescription that hasn't changed, yet distant slightly more blurry. Maybe I don't squint as well to correct as a few years ago now, getting older, don't know. I don't really have an explanation for it, stare at this mountain a lot, resident, nothing where that cylinder was more than 1,000 feet up from the basin there on the mountain. Cylinder disappeared before jet screamed over shoulder of the mountain. Quite confusing sighting.

Never seen a fighter jet immediately over the peak, like 100 yards or less at closest when it disappeared. I've only seen them in the area a handful of times, saw military cargo once, very low, years ago.

Had a different sighting of 2 very bright green orbs very fast, falcon bird flew erraticly prior. Reported before, got 1 photo of it. Might have been a bollide meteor exceptionally bright. Separate report, you asked for animal reactions. The falcon, kestrel flew in a parabola, flew up before, I raised my camera, then as the orbs approached overhead, silent, slight contrail, it said I'm outta here, metaphorically, and dove back into a gully.

Email only. I've also seen UFOs in nightvision, pins of light that make sharp like right angle turns immediately, except like 30 degree change in direction. In Arizona.

Fast moving, erratically moving light

It was a bright light that I first thought was a satellite, but too bright. So maybe the space station? Then the light went straight up, straight down, zoom right, zoom up. Zoom down, zoom up, faster right…and stopped still. Then more of the same. 15 minutes later it had not moved again. About 1 am.

The curious thing is there was a very sudden. Strong & very brief windstorm that woke me. I wish I had looked out then. Maybe I would have seen the UFO up close!! I wish.

I am a psychologist and ordained in the United Church of Christ, well traveled, 16 years of formal education, skeptical about such reports as this one.

We increased speed to go to where we thought it went and there was nothing there.

My friend and I were enjoying some outdoor family games when he noticed something in the sky. It appeared at first to be a stationary light. But it didn't move for over half an hour. We then went to his house and observed it through binoculars where it appeared as a self laminating ring. Then later we observed it through a telescope where it appeared to be a balloon with individual lights arrayed in two arcs. Then we noticed an off center light between the arcs. Then in a few minutes there were straight beams coming from the central light to the ends of the arcs. Initially the sky was clear with sparse clouds, eventually the object was totally obscured by clouds. Total duration of sighting: over 90 minutes. Five people observed it through the telescope.

Saw a white light. Assumed plane. Dismissed. Then noticed a bright blue light in the north horizon. I went out to look. It fell like a meteor and then stopped and moved backwards. It would "zip" around the horizon. Go behind the horizon. It came back three times. It flew over the top of me and almost looked identifiable like two blue lights in brown housing. Mabs drone? Pearl Jam is playing at the university. "Zipping." It came back in the western horizon and made a frisbee type drop to what i assume was a landing.

A bright cigar-shaped craft traveled slowly across the night sky until it was hidden by the local hills

I woke up around 3:30 a.m. and could not sleep. I went upstairs to make tea. While it was brewing, I went out on the patio to look at the night sky. It was very clear; all smoke from the fires was gone. I thought I saw something moving in the sky. My night vision is not all that good, so I hurried downstairs to get my glasses and hurried out the back door. Yes, it was exactly the same as the sighting in Belgrade, Montana in June 2024. I went to get my phone camera, but by the time I got back out and tried to film it, it was gone behind the hill east of the house. The craft traveled at a lower altitude, because I can see air craft from much further away than those hills. Also, it appeared to be traveling at an angle from west to east, just as in the Belgrade sighting. The whole craft was bright white, like the stars. The angle was about 45 degrees, and it seemed bigger and closer than the Belgrade video. My roommate stated she has seen that multiple times over the last five years at different times but in the same place in the night sky. I don't think it's a satellite; it looked way to big and too low in the sky for that. Now I know it's out there, I'll keep watch. I'm often up around that time, but when I am, I will be camera-ready!! Thank you.

Suddenly large formation of lights in triangular shape appeared and moved quickly but smoothly in all planes. I could make out general shape based on changing lights. Second smaller light high above main appearing “vessel” moved far faster and changed altitude rapidly with striking speed. Larger vessel mainly moved in horizontal plane until directly above canyon while smaller light moved in all directions but rapidly in vertical motions. Both would nearly disappear, reappear and then finally vanished.

Saw 2 red orbs moving when no fireworks were in the air

While watching the fireworks being shot off in my neighborhood....I witnessed what I first thought were part of an air explosion firework....but as the sky cleared from all aerial explosions, I noticed two red orbs....that were still high up and visible. As i watched they moved in unison for about 30 seconds...then abruptly...one orb shot straight up at a high rate of speed. I watched it as it disappeared from sight. It looked like a rocket being fired straight up! I continued to watch the other orb as it slowly moved to the east. At first it slowed to almost a full stop, then it moved at a sustained rate. Not moving very fast at all. I watched it until it was out of sight over the horizon to the east. No other lights were observed on the orb. It was just Red. No flashing or blinking white or green lights. Clearly not a commercial aircraft. The speed of the first Orb which went straight up was very fast, while the speed of the second orb was relatively slow.

Came out of my house and looked up to a blue sky with spotting of white clouds. I saw this black cylinder like craft traveling at a beyond a high rate of speed - it seems like it was gliding; my sighting lasted less than 10 seconds and all of sudden the craft disappeared into the Blue Sky (Poof !)
Gone ! It was headed directly north from Helena. There were no contrails. I would compare this to released videos of objects flying that SMOOTH up in the air seen by pilots. Best way I could describe what I saw.

I have tracked Aircraft and Satellites before and this Craft seemed liked it was going 10x-100x faster than any aircraft etc. and VERY VERY SMOOTH.
I came back inside my house and shook my head - did I see what I saw ? ...and the answer is Yes - I saw this - but don't know what it was
But I know what it did and what it looked liked.

One Large stationary Craft with 6+ smaller craft zigzagging across the night sky

I was awake at midnight as I was packing for a permanent move from Montana to Michigan. I took a break from packing by stepping out on my front porch, without turning on the torchlight so as to not attract insects. I sat on my porch chair and right away noticed this huge craft hovering above the treeline to my left.

I can only estimate the size and distance of the large craft to be at least 800-1000 yards in diameter, hovering above the neighbor's ranch roughly a quarter-mile high. The distance from my porch would be about a half-mile from my porch, behind the Fishtail Family Park. The Disk was stationary, I could only see the underside of the craft, and only one light was visible, located at the bottom of the concave underbelly. It was visible yet, when I tried taking a photo with my phone camera, only the night sky was visible. The smaller craft were zipping across the sky, going in one direction, then reversing course and going in the opposite direction. I watched them throughout the 30 minutes until a point of time when they all returned to the large craft, when they all disappeared inside the larger craft, the large craft blinked out of sight. I can't say if it just went invisible or if it sped off so fast it was in the blink of an eye.

My town of Fishtail, MT is a rural Ranching community, with a population of about 50 people. I lived in this same duplex apartment for fifteen years and I know the night sky very well. There is no mistaking what I witnessed. I tried reporting my experience to the local police but, they just dismissed it. Due to the type of community, there was nobody awake at midnight.

Humming sound drew my attention to look out window, saw flying object move toward/over where our home is and neighboring property

My wife and I got home late from an event and while getting ready for bed noticed a humming sound coming from the front yard/street area outside. It was loud enough to wonder what was outside so I opened the curtains and couldn’t see anything but humming seemed louder and I could feel vibration on the window. It was 0° so the window was fogged and couldn’t see much but it was very concerning that I could feel vibration on window. Made me feel like it was a machine inside our home. Then I noticed an orange / reddish set of lights much like an airplane but too close to be a commercial airplane flying somewhat slowly for a plane toward our home and the neighbors and over. Then it disappeared and the humming/vibration was gone with it. Maybe possibly a helicopter but the sound and vibration was very odd and why would a helicopter be around our neighborhood at 10:15pm.

I saw what appeared to be a 2000 gallon propane tank flying north bound against Teakettle Mountain.

On the morning of October 16th 2023 at 7:30am I had just got in my vehicle to head to work. I was still in my neighborhood just at the corner of my property when looking east through my passenger window I saw a UAP so I stopped the car. The UAP was white in color and the shape of a cylinder it looked like a very large propane tank I estimate it to be 25’ long and 10’ wide. When I first noticed it it was not moving it was just still but very close to Teakettle Mountain, after watching if for 10 seconds it began to move quickly to the north at approximately 50 mph staying close to the mountain. I lost sight of it after about 500-600 yards it continued north at the same rate of speed. This is the 5th UAP sighting I’ve had.

Driving from Many Glacier to Essex MT through Babb Mt. Headed south on HWY 89, we had just turned left onto State HWY 464. It was the faster route back. We looked to our left saw Chief Mountain, I asked my girlfriend to grab a photo, all she grabbed was a quick 2-second video, so then I could screen shot a photo of Chief Mt. (We do that, grab videos then take screen shots) Later that day reviewing photos I was trying to find a good screen shot from the video, as I slowed the video down there was a spec in each frame of the video. I blew it off at first but it looked as if the spec was following a track/pathway. Each frame the spec/sphere/shape moved and looked a bit different and followed a path with a slight turn/arch in the last couple frames. This video is shot with an iPhone14Pro while we are traveling at least 75mph. I will send you the original video but you don’t see it until the speed is decreased. I would have never seen this if I was not editing a random 2 second video, just for a decent photo. It’s pretty remarkable that this 2 sec clip might have caught something. Definitely hesitant to send this is, because as it is odd it also could just be a bug, bird or debris. I guess why it’s unidentified. Hope the videos uploaded. Thank You

I am going to keep this brief because I can’t believe I am reporting it. I saw a cube shaped flying item, it appeared to have louvers, too high for a drone and too low for a helicopter. No means of propulsion: no heat trails, no propeller, no noise. It was steel and white. I only saw one angle. I went right tf back inside. Less than 30 min thereafter three jets flew low overhead.

Two Black cubes flew between clouds

I went outside to see what was going on after a huge gust of wind hit my house (I almost got knocked over when I stepped outside), when I went outside there was almost like a comet trail in the sky. The wind would die down and creep back up again. I watched the haze for about 5-10 minutes as it moved Southwest. After that I decided to go back inside the house. But before I got back in I saw a super quick flash of light, almost like lightning, but way faster (like under a second long). In total I saw 2 flashes. I decided to stay back outside since it startled me. I looked back up and there was an opening in the clouds directly over my house. I saw two black cube objects with no lights visible fly from one cloud to another moving South. From what I saw both objects were gray/black and were in the shape of a cube. I have had UFO encounters before, such as objects in the sky similar to tonights. I have had one encounter with what I think is Bigfoot. Through-out my life I have had multiple weird encounters with UFO/Un-documented creatures (I.e Bigfoot).

I posted about this on Facebook and multiple people (In Montana & Utah) have stated similar encounters, the encounter in Utah, which occurred roughly 1 hour ago, saw similar flashing lights. Him and his friend grabbed their phone to try to get a photo/video but were unsuccessful.

Other people in Flathead County are saying they saw the same haze effect before I saw the UFOs. I strongly think the haze is Northern Lights although what strikes me as very weird is every time I have seen the Northern Lights they have been towards the North. Not to the West like tonight. I have provided a short time lapse I took of the haze. I did not see any other streaks of haze in the sky.

I was outside going to the bathroom before I leave for work and noticed a really bright star. I thought it was kind of shimmering/moving but really couldn’t tell for sure. I said to myself on my way back to my camper that if it’s still shimmering that I was going to grab my phone and start recording. It really starts moving around and blinked once, when I start recording, I held my phone as still as possible.

I think the video speaks for itself. I’m a simple person, live simple, don’t have much. I don’t do social media and never been on Facebook etc. Not the kind of person that takes pictures or videos of things.

Two persons observed a light high on the southern horizon, at a distance of 2-3 miles moving in erratic geometric patterns

On the evening of August 16th 2023 at approximately 10:00pm, myself and another individual observed a single point of light high on the horizon, moving in erratic geometric patterns. We estimate the object to have been 2 to 3 miles distance. Skies were clear and visibility excellent. We observed this object while looking for satellites in the night sky. Our first impression was that it was another satellite moving west to east. The object then stopped its progression abruptly and began moving back towards the west, a short distance. The object then began moving up and down, side to side and I would guess towards and away from us. In some cases the movement was slow at other times quite fast. We observed the object for 10 to 15 minutes, however the object may have continued as we went to bed.

This object is moving so fast it could not be seen by the eye in real time. I happened to catch this when filming the Blue Angels in 30fps and did not notice until the following day. The object is moving from South to North across the sky at very high speeds. For reference at this moment the Blue Angles are moving at 200+ MPH in this video. The object appears at the 10sec mark of this video, between the Blue Angles grouping and the person in frame, at the top of the screen. I have confirmed with my camera that objects entering the frame after the record starts will also be slowed to 30fps. I know that it is requested to only submit objects seen, but this is object is moving so fast it would likely not been detected.

Fiery "ball" object seen way up in the distance - it hovered in one spot, then moved to the east maybe 1000 yards and paused again.

To the naked eye, and at 10x true optical zoom, the UFO was a fiery ball, way up in the night sky. It hovered South of Mount Helena, beyond the city of Helena, for about 30 seconds it stayed in place, then it gradually moved laterally to the east and stayed there for about another 30 seconds before vanishing. 6 people saw this. I took a photo at 10x zoom, and it still looks like a fiery sphere-shaped object, though when I zoomed in to 100x zoom, it appears to be more rectangular with a darker center (giving me the thought that this object is outputting a very strong coronal glow. After taking the last photo, the object disappeared 10 seconds later.

A round object that didn't move in one spot.

I have to share with you guys what I saw in the sky on the way home from work in Bozeman, Montana in the morning of June 2nd, Thursday. It was around 5:45am in the morning. I thought I saw UFO. A little shiny metall round or something that didn't move, just still in one spot. Color...grey or silver that looks like dark shiny metal or something. I was on West Oak Street on the way to North Rouse Avenue. There's a few warehouses, small restaurants and stores like a tiny mall. I drove past a building that blocked my view for about 5 seconds. After I passed a building, it disappeared completely. No time to take a picture during I was driving.

FYI, I am a deaf paranormal investigator.

One of the times I casually looked up I saw a white Sphere travel very quickly from the left side (NW) where I spotted it and it zipped off towards the right away from me (NE). I don't know where it went because I had lost focus of it. The object moved faster than any plane can and very smoothly. I have to guess also it was about the size of a small vehicle.

Noticed stationary structure on mountainside of national forest land with no tracks or visible way of having gotten to location

While in Somers by Flathead Lake I noticed a large dark non snow covered structure on the mountain side. This mountain is land that is not allowed to be accessed with gas powered vehicles and had just had fresh snowfall. This structure was stationary and I did not witness it get to its standing location but there is no evidence of tracks or snow disruption showing how it got there. There are two avalanche appearing areas below the corners of the structure that would be consistent with a landing large structure. No lights or motion was seen around the structure. It was there for several hours and I had left the area and am unsure if it is still presently there. My spouse saw the same structure at what we believe is the same location from Bigfork. I saw this structure while with a friend who agreed that it did not make sense that an object that large would be on that mountain. I have never witnessed UFO nor do I claim to have ever experienced an interaction with extraterrestrial but I do believe in extraterrestrial beings and believe that this structure may very likely be an extraterrestrial vehicle of some sorts.

Two lights moving in symmetry.

I noticed two red lights in the sky. They were holding still. If a line was drawn between the lights connecting them, it would be at about a 30 degree angle to the horizon. They stayed in this position for about 30 seconds. I called my kids to see it. We watched the lights remain at this 30 degree angle until they started to drift away from each other. Each light move at the same pace as the other light. They each moved symmetrically away from each other, but remained in that 30 degree angle. Then the lights rotated around each other symmetrically. One light went lower as the other light went higher. Each light's movement and speed mirrored the others. This rotatation was about 180 degrees and only took the lights 3-5 seconds to complete. The lights then moved upwards and west into a cloud bank. I did not see the lights again. No sound was heard.

UFO/ UAP over Bozeman Montana. Ship was at least 100 yards width and 20 yards hight hovering for two min and disappearing in a flash

We were driving from Bozeman to the airport in Belgrade with a blue sky and no clouds present when my father said, "Matt what's that? It doesn't look like a plane." That's when I saw it. I looked out the window to my right over the mountains between Sacagowea Peak and Saddle Peak. there was a Huge silver/foggy disk or maybe a cigar shape with a dome on top. I estimate it to be 100 yards in width by 20 yards in height according to the elevation and how close it was to the mountains. It was hovering at the same elevation as Sacaagowea Peak for what we recalled as two minutes. Then suddenly it either disappears or becomes invisible and you could no longer see it. This is not my first sighting but it was my dad's first. I have seen this happen twice in California but this was the biggest ship I've seen yet.

Silver metal boomerang shaped object that moved across the sky and changed shape.

I HAVE TWO VIDEOS THAT WERE TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD. On 15 October 2022 at approximately 1:44PM we were attending a football game at the Grizz stadium in Missoula Montana. An object in the sky caught my attention as the sun reflected off it. It was not a plane or glider and did not appear to be a drone. It changed direction too. The object was silver metal in the shape of a boomerang. It was flying quite a distance beyond the stadium and not over it. It flew across the sky and appeared to change shape before it disappeared. The sky was clear with no cloud cover.

Bright stars and started dancing and moves sporadically with colored lights.

My friend has seen these ufos before. She pointed out this bright star that was originally a red tone and as soon as I directly looked at it, it started dancing with colors. It had some sparkling lights around it and never stuck to a singular pattern or color. She then pointed out several other stars that were nearby and were doing similar things. It appeared like they were moving but it stayed in the same general direction in the sky. As if they were getting closer or farther but stayed in the same space. I believe they were communicating through the lights. The brightest ufo was probably as close as a helicopter flies but that’s hard to tell. I was so shocked I was out there for probably 30 minutes without looking away. I said “Hi!” out loud, and I swear, little lights started blinking on one side of the orb as if it was waving. It also appeared as though there was a bigger ship behind the ufos. It looked like a huge shadow directly behind the lights. That parts hard to describe. I felt safe and it didn’t feel scary… they are looking of ways to contact. Maybe we should start consciously thinking of ways that could happen. Maybe we can figure this out together!

Metalic sphere moving from east to west just south of my home. No noise, no lights. Flying low level at about 3000ft elevation. You could see lines on the side of the sphere (structural ?). Moving fast than normal aircraft. Encounter lasted about a minute before it went out of sight. Size was roughly 3x's the size of our local medical helo, who routinely flies a similar path. It could be a bit bigger. I have video of the encounter. The video is not great but look left of the top of tree. This is the latter part of the encounter. When I first saw it...it was much closer and it took me a few second to get video going and track in on it.

It was kind of hard to see, but it was bright yellow and flashed red

I was standing on my porch at around 10:58 pm, and I was trying to see a star because it was flashing. I assumed that it was either a star or a satellite, so I stepped off of my porch to record it better. As I was recording, I could see something slowly hover over my house, and turned my camera to face it. It was slowly moving, but faster than a drone and higher than a drone. As I was filming, it moved slowly and it looked like there was a top and bottom light flashing red every second. There was only one, and I was the only one out there. It wasn’t moving very fast and i could only see it moving and the lights on it. The lights looked like a triangle, but those were only the yellow lights. It only moved for a few more minutes until it stopped right next to the star that I had been recording minutes prior. The night before this, I heard a large whirring sound that sounded like heavy machinery in the sky, but it lasted for about 6 minutes. Each time I have recorded, it seems like there has been a filter over my camera, but it’s never like that normally. Once it had stopped, I could no longer film it and then I had also started to hear thumps near my house or heavy machinery starting. I was not able to capture anymore. The last image uploaded is circled, which is where the UFO stopped when i decided to stop recording. The other one that isn’t circled is the star I was trying to record while it was flashing.

This was above the concert Chicago, others may have seen - hundreds were there

One star trailed to the right and disappeared into light congestion.

Then in the middle of the last song three stars go racing at the speed of light to the left one chasing two, when they all got to above the mountain I saw one crash into another and both hit the last one and disappeared over the mountain into light congestion, silent no noise - the distance of stars

I was DD for my father at this concert and may have caught one on footage

They may have been disturbed by the concert, definitely not related, there was a jet following shortly before and after which promoted me to look up.

It was night and you could see other stars, but the light pollution made it difficult to capture- if it was pitch black you could have seen the impossible speed these stars were going at. It literally looked like a star battle in the sky.

A vehicle stopped on the freeway for a lengthy period of time shortly after the “possible crash” could have happened

The sky was getting dark with stars just beginning to be visible. We could still see the neighbors house and apple tree clearly. There was a light layer of thin cloud. We were seated & a long rectangular bright light suddenly appeared roughly the height of the power lines above the house roof, traveling downwards in a southerly direction. It was bright and looked like a fluorescent light tube. I ran into the house to get my camera but when I came into the garden the object was disappearing as it moved southwards.

For the last week we have seen approx 10 crafts some flying 3 in a line all different separate crafts they will fly over then hover

My husband and I and our daughter like to star gaze at night for the past week we have been using a red pin point laser to show our daughter the stars we have encountered multiple crafts flying above our heads at close range some flying in a row of 3 to 4 different crafts all displaying white flashing lights some have red lights green and blue, the crafts will fly over hover above our heads then float in the air for a while then shoot up into the stars but stay where we can see the bright lights in a row of 3 to 4 lights going across, we have encountered red small lights passing over our heads some white some stop and hover then the crafts will come flying over yesterday there was a craft that flew through the trees with a huge white light almost blinding then it flew so close to us we could feel the heat off of it when it flew over our heads something black came off the bottom under side of it and slithered like away across the road it was the weirdest thing after the black liquid hit the ground it seemed to slither away then we seen it on top of the trailer across the street. we have seen many planes and helicopters pass over our house these crafts are a lot different they fly a lot closer then stop and observe then the lights turn red and they begin to fly up into the sky reaching extremely high heights. I have checked the satellites around us to see if there's any satellites and in fact there isn't, I have also called the air port and asked about possible airplanes flying closely over our house as we live close to the air port and they told me absolutely not their pilots wouldn't risk flying that close to residential homes as its too much of a risk. last night when I went out at 3am to let my dog to potty there was bright white lights surrounding our house and there was little glittery lights all around those Huge ones all moving all at multiple altitudes in the sky some of the lights would come really close to where I could feel heat and hear a sound almost like a generator starting up some of these shapes are circular some are V shaped some boomerang shaped all different shapes and sizes. with the increased amount of aircraft flying so closely to our home we are a bit concerned as it seems more and more are coming to let it be known that they are there also when these crafts come close to our home all of the street lights turn off and all of the lights on our house and the porch light. we have seen a bright green light almost like a fat laser beam point into out back yard multiple times. around these big white lights that are close there is a circle aura around them and almost like strings on the bottom of them they seem to let out lighter white circles and they shoot across the sky so fat its like a shooting star.

over the past week I have woken up with allot of bruises on my arms 3 on one arm and on the other arm there are 4 finger like bruises

my dog barks and gets scared anytime these objects come close to our home or us when we are outside.

It was circular in shape, very bright, looked metallic as it reflected the sun's light. It was following one of the jets at the exact same speed but had no contrail unlike the two jets. We watched it until it went behind the horizon.

Silent item falling from sky leaving huge cone like trail that took up sky.

Friend told me to look to what I believe was the east. There was a fuzzy spot in the night sky and we thought maybe it was the Andromeda galaxy. I quickly noticed the spot was getting bigger. We immediately gasped when we realized this was an object coming toward us. Suddenly multiple people stopped and watched as this point in the sky was coming down at an angle with a huge cone like plume behind it. There did not seem to be a fire trail, no noise, no giant flashes of light. The object itself seemed too just be a small point of dim light. The night was so dark and the light dim to where cameras weren't able to pick it up. We eventually watched as it went behind the mountains and that was it. No noise or anything. The cone plume left behind took up quite a portion of the sky but eventually dissipated.

In driveway after seeing lunar eclipse saw these lights and then they disappeared mere seconds afterwards.

At 10:49pm my fiancee, 30 M, and I, 26 F, were walking back from viewing the lunar eclipse. We headed out around 10pm so only out there for max 30 minutes viewing the moon. My fiancee had randomly stopped in our driveway and then looked up. That when I heard him go "beautiful what the fuck are those lights right there?". I turned around and looked up and saw these lights that looked like they were rotating and blinking. I automatically grabbed my cellphone and recorded since this wasn't my first time seeing ufos. It only lasted mere seconds when he pointed out it was disappearing. It just vanished into the night sky as if nothing was there. I automatically stopped the video sent it to my parents and then looked up the starlink satellites to double check that it wasn't that. The starlink satellites had appear above us around 10:00pm and lasted around 10:05 pm so these were not part of it according to the website. Which I provided both the website recording and my actual recording.

We watched the “bar” of light fly across the sky and then disappear

We were driving home and we notice a bar of light flying from west to the east. It was moving very fast. It was a very bright and steady light. We can provide more details if you think it is worth it based upon the photo. We do not want to waste your time if it is something you have seen before. It was not anything we have ever seen before in Montana.

3 lights coverage into a triangle, spin and disappear

Just sharing an experience my boys and I had last night.
Me and three of my boys were out in our hot tub looking up at the stars, which is pretty common for us on an evening, we frequently see satellite activity, and airplanes and point out constellations and specific stars. It was a very clear moonless night, with 0 light pollution. At the same time, three of us each noticed a different "satellite" moving seemingly slowly, across the sky from different directions. They all converged into an exact isosceles triangle, not very far above us in the NE sky. The triangle then spun in a clockwise direction three times, putting the three "lights" each back into their original positions in the triangle. They then spread from each other a small distance at the same speed, then disappeared. My boys were all exclaimed, "whoa, we should have videoed that!".

Very unusual light appeared above mountain ridge, stabilized then continued slowly up and out of camera view

Our weather live stream camera (plus a second camera that was recording timelapse footage) caught a large oval light, northeast across the Boulder Valley from our location, rising slowly from the ridge of the Elkhorn Mountains and up, until out of the camera view.
The timestamp from the camera footage indicates first appearance at 6:10am on Tuesday March 9th, 2022, which was 500 seconds after the camera started recording, completely disappearing before 6:14am. The sun hadn't yet come over the horizon, so the light showed up quite brightly in the left 1/3 of the sky, above the mountain ridge, which is approx 12 miles from our location.
The light orb moved very slowly; there was no way it was a jet or plane crossing at high altitude. We first thought it was a searchlight from a search and rescue helicopter. It initially seems to blink and 'tumble', then disappears momentarily before continuing. It seemed to maintain an upward trajectory. It took 180 seconds (3 minutes), from when it first blinked into view before it eventually disappeared from camera view. I don't know if it originated from the ridge, or from beyond the ridge, or if it was actually high in the atmosphere and only became visible as it got closer to our location.
This light/object appeared to be headed 'up', but if it was actually on a lateral trajectory is was travelling from Northeast to Southwest - this rules out the ISS or any other equatorial satellites. I submitted an email and the video links to NOAA and asked if it could possibly be a polar weather satellite, but they have not responded even yet, six weeks later. So I assume it isn't one of theirs??
I am an amateur weather nerd and maintain two cameras pointed Northeast to obtain weather footage that I upload to YouTube. There are two videos on my YouTube account (hunt1803) that document this sighting.
One is Youtube's archive of the 12 hour livestream, recording the sighting in real time. The sighting starts at 500 seconds into the video, then continues for 180 seconds before disappearing. The other is a time lapse recording of event, taken at 1 frame every 6 seconds, so the light naturally appears as a streak near the beginning.
In real time, the light initially blinks on, get brighter, then seems to disappear in haze before reappearing and starting its slow climb.
I've attached shortened clips that we managed to take from YouTube's archive, but after processing the quality is VERY POOR.
Much better quality for both videos is available on the YouTube account. If you are able, for the real time recording go directly to the livestream archive on YouTube, which I've cued to start just before the light appears, at: https://youtu.Be/o-um9-meb0u?T=500
The full, much higher quality time lapsed video is at https://youtu.Be/umharf3lthm
I would be interested in finding out if anyone else saw this, or if it matches a schedule for launching some kind of weather balloon, or military balloon, or what??

It was super fast looked small but surrounded by a blue like flame around it. Was going so fast and just blinked out.

I got out of my car on poplar st. I noticed something to the west. I started yelling at my mom “do you see that?” As I was running down the road. It looked small but was going so fast that there was light in the middle but like blue flame around it and leaving a tail. In approx 6 to ten seconds it went from when I seen it clear past me to the south and blinked out into nothing. It happened at 7:14 pm on Saturday. Please let me know if you do know what it was. I have seen two other encounters like this. One over Idaho 2005 I believe. That one we did call the police. It was a huge fireball going across the sky and then down the highway we seen the top of the mountain on fire. If you have any info on that please tell me. Last night’s incident has me going nuts. Any information please

Grey Spheres flying fast, and low above city, appearing out of nowhere and disappearing into nothing.

My fiancé and I stepped outside our business for a cigarette. We run an exotic animal rescue and actually live in the back, there is an apartment. We were talking and I was looking at the sky, the next I thing I see is 5 grey, metallic looking spheres flying very low above our business and off into the distance disappearing. When the spheres first appeared they where in an uneven triangle formation then all switched positions, some overlapping others( looked higher up in the sky). The whole event only look seconds and my fiancé saw a large flash in the sky afterward. I’ve gone through a few options of what they could such as drones or helicopter, they made absolutely no noise and it was extra quiet when they went by. They didn’t have any lights, and I got a clear shot from how low some dropped to when they split from the triangle formation. Some of our animals have been acting spooked, or even just on edge since the incident occurred. Which is odd because we have no windows in our unit, so they wouldn’t be able to see anything anyways. Sometimes you can tell if it’s man made, or even the government…this time I have no idea what I even saw, hence my reason for this report.

Orange round circle in western sky by Bozeman MTmall and East main area was not fireworks it hovered and shot up into northern west sky

We went outside to watch some fireworks that were going off for the new year celebration and I looked up into the sky to the western or southern part and I saw an orange hovering object and I told my husband and daughter to look and then they saw it as well it was low and round and orange and hovering. It seemed close to us I asked my daughter to go in the house to get my phone and by the time she came out and I got video to work it went halfway up towards upper sky and then it disappeared into a tiny dot. They were also intrigued and said definitely it was UFO! It Was very strange indeed not the first Ufo I have ever seen but definitely a unique experience! Just wondering if anyone else in Bozeman Montana saw it tonight?

I took my puppy out to go potty and decided I would take a picture of the full moon, there was a green orb in my camera but could not see it with the naked eye. I took 2 pictures came in and showed my uncle cleaned my lense and he went out and took pictures himself and ended up with 3 pictures with orbs in it. I went back out to take another and the orb moved rapidly downwards which I caught a picture but freaked out and ran in the house.

String of Attached Lights with No Sound Moving Towards Us

On May 15, 2021 at approximately 11:30 PM, my partner and I were sitting on a rooftop looking at the stars at a home outside Emigrant, Montana. There were no clouds and we could see the stars. At approximately 11:37 PM, we noticed an object coming across the sky from the southwestern sky (near Yellowstone National Park). The object was a straight line of attached lights and it was moving in our direction. The flying object looked to be made up of over 40 white lights and appeared to be about a mile long. As it came towards our direction, I took a photograph on my Iphone. The object appeared to stall as it moved closer and the lights could not be seen as well. It appeared to remain in this location, about 10-15 miles away from where we sat, for approximately 1-2 minutes. At this point, I called a family member because I was scared and then the object started to move again towards the northwestern portion of the sky. As the flying object started moving toward! s the northeastern sky, the lights were still visible at the bottom, but there also was a shadow that was not lit up that was visible. It appeared as if the object had multiple sides and not just the bottom lights. The object made no sound and there was no sound of nightlife at that moment. (There was an owl hooting before the object appeared and stopped during the event.) Prior to this event, my dog did not want to go outside to use the restroom and was anxious when we went out on the roof to look at the stars, which was not normal behavior for my dog.

I estimate it was 1/2 mile from me at an altitude of approximately 1500 feet, flying a set trajectory from west to east down the middle of Fort Peck Lake at Fourchette Bay, speed approximately 100-150 mph. It made no sound on a particularly quiet night. I am in possession of a picture of this object.
