Direction from Viewer: (From the camera position vs me), it was West.
Angle of Elevation: 4

It changed shape from square to zigzag, changed direction and ht, in my barnyard. Faced the coop and moved to front of my wood shed.

I checked my Arlo security camera on the barnyard before bed. Recently I have had a fox problem on the farm the past 2 weeks with afternoon attacks on my freerange birds and have been checking more than usual. Even as the birds are locked up at night (because a DEC trapper came out and set traps this morning).

I saw 4 lights in a square shape on the camera, as if the corners were lit up only. It was low lying mostly by my wood shed / corn crib. I watched to see if it was really just 2 animal eyes. It sort of hovered back and forth, and to the side and back. It changed shape to a zigzag and a vertical line and an irregular patterned line at times. I saw it move in front of the corner of the corn crib at one point.

It appeared to "face" left and "face" right (or, north and south) at times. Sometimes only two vertical lights were visible when it did. But usually I could tell by a slight tilted angle. It was on the small side I think (maybe the size of wreath) and stayed low mostly. But it rose up to about 4 ft at times. I was watching via a live feed of the camera from my Samsung phone. I don't think this particular camera model takes video without being triggered and I had, rather, turned it on myself. I went outside the house with my dog on leash (which isn't too close to where this was happening) and watched the live feed the entire time. This thing froze in position while I was out and only moved when I returned. I also noticed the neighbor dogs were barking wildly at the time. And actually my dog didnt want to go put whichnever happens. At the end of the half hr or so I was watching, it moved back about 100-200 ft to in front of the coop. It turned left and right and then moved to the side of the coop, lifted, and appeared to face the large window of my coop. It stayed there for about 5-10 minutes seemingly looking in. I don't know. That sounds crazy.

I'm a scientist (meteorologist/ climatologist) and I only look for rational explanation. It just couldn't have been an animal with 4 lighted spots. And I never stay up this late but it's sort of scared me.

At the end of the sighting my camera had trouble connecting to my wifi (though I had 3 other cameras on live feed oat the time and all were connected). That happens, I suppose. But when it did connect again the object/lights were gone. I might have seen it a few minutes later higher up than before by sheep barn but the trees on that part of the property blocked my being able to confirm that. So I'm not sure but I do have a feeling I was seeing it just with an obstructed view.

This is the first day of a heatwave and the temp was about 72-75°. The winds were light gusts to non-existent (stable nocturnal boundary layer).

I'm super perplexed by what this was but I did take a ton of screenshot of the live feed and they are time stamped. Some are zoomed in as I was trying to get a really close look. But the camera isn't that sophisticated with night viewing. The images do explain what I was seeing clearly, however.

Duration: >5 minutes
No of observers: 5

Location: Bainbridge, OH, USA

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Emitted other objects

Bright object that changed shape with protruding poles was observed over Bainbridge, Ohio for 5 minutes by several individuals.

10/31/20 @ approximately 14:30 hrs granddaughter asked about a star in the sky above our farm. Upon looking at the object with binoculars I could see what appeared to be craft emitting a white/silver light with two thick black downward protruding pole and with a third pole that crossed at the bottom of the two downward poles but was extended further out to the port side. The body of the craft slowly and repeatedly cycled between the shape of a diamond and a circle during the entire time of the event. The body had well defined edges and I never had any visual obstruction or blurring caused by the light during it's shifting. It appeared to be at an extremely high altitude with a moderate velocity. Two other aircraft (airliners) were in the vicinity at the time but were well below it's altitude and they both had different headings. I immediately check online at website FlightAware.com which showed only the two scheduled airline flight already mentioned. This we! bsite doesn't show military flights. The objects approximate location was 39°13'58.22"N 83°10'28.67"W with a heading of approximately 100 degrees. Altitude appeared to be in excess of 50k. My point of observations would of been about 10-12 miles west of these coordinates. The sky was clear and sunny, temperature was in the low 50's and the sun would of been to my back during the siting.

Flashing white lights moving at incredible speeds.

My wife and I were camping at Paint Creek State Park, Ohio and shortly after dark on Sept 18 (appx 9:30 pm) I noticed lights descending in the distance (toward Hillsboro, Oh).

There was one lighted object and then immediately below another exactly the same light and then that was followed by three more immediately below the first two.

After that we observed flashing white lights above those and then saw the flashing lights in various areas of the night sky to the north and south of the first sightings and then the flashing lights were in the sky to the north, south and then to the east and then to the west moving at incredible speeds (I would estimate at least mach 3 to mach 4).

I have never seen anything like this before. I have worked in the aerospace industry for more than 25 years and have never encountered anything even close to this.

Black craft that blocked the stars from the sky

When I was younger I had friends that would spend weekends and summers at my house. One summer night me and another friend of mine were meeting up with a girl who had snuck out to talk to us (young men usually have one goal in mind) so this sounded exciting.

We meet up behind my house and we are talking for a little bit when my friend goes "WHAT THE F**K IS THAT!?!" And points to the sky. We immediately look in shock to a giant object, that we are unable to make out what it is but we can see it is closer to the ground because it is blocking the stars from the sky behind it in a giant triangle shape. It looks like 3 orange glowing lights in each corner of a triangular object with a red light in the center. This object was COMPLETELY silent.

We watched the object spinning slowly for maybe 2 minutes. Stunned and amazed nobody had even thought to take out their phone to record. Nowadays we have HD-4k cameras in our pockets but in 2011 camera phones weren’t that good (although I wish we tried). After about 2 minutes the red light in the center shot down what I could only describe as a stage light looking beam. The light seemed to be very precise with its motion as if controlled by a computer or coordinates. We were completely speechless and stunned by what we were witnessing.

I was so terrified and confused I suddenly got a rush of adrenaline started running away back to my house and my friend and the female followed behind me. We had looked back after reaching my house and it seemed to be out of view.

I REFUSE TO SPECULATE WHAT THIS WAS BUT IT IS UNEXPLAINABLE AND SOMETHING THAT MY FRIEND AND I STILL THINK ABOUT TO THIS DAY. I never believed in UFO’s but this skewed my ideas and thoughts on our world, reality, and what’s physically possible.

Red-orange lights spotted in night sky over Bainbridge, Ohio

At approximately 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, August 10, I was traveling home from a trip to the grocery store when I noticed a red-orange light in the sky. I noticed the light because of its color, and the fact that it appeared to be at a low altitude, lower than planes would occupy, and it seemed to be hovering over the area.

When I reached my home, about a minute and a half later, and looked in the direction of the light, it was still there, but seemed to be moving slowly. My husband and I watched the light for several minutes as it seemed to drift away from us. Before it disappeared from view, another light appeared from the same direction as the first one, and behaved in the same manner. Before it too, drifted away, a third light appeared, again from the same direction. There were three red-orange lights total. All were at a low altitude, and all seemed to hover or move very slowly before simply vanishing.

he night sky was clear last night so we are unsure how the lights simply disappeared from sight.

My husband, nephew and I witnessed the lights. We’ve never seen anything like this previously and we are not UFO afficionados.

I mentioned the sighting to one of my brothers and he claims that he saw the same type of lights on July 4th weekend in Chautauqua Lake, New York. He and his son saw four lights of the same description over the lake at around 10 p.m.

triangular object with three large green lights

we were at my brother-in-laws house celebrating a birthday. at 10:00 p.m. we were outside on the deck. I had not been drinking and nobody that saw it was drunk. leaned back in my seat and saw three large green lights in a triangular format. it was slowly moving across the sky from east to west with a slow rotation. unable to distinguish its altitude I can say how big it was. I said holy shit look at that then everybody looked up and watched it as it moved. my sister-in-law tried to take a picture and it showed up on her camera's digitle display but after taking the picture it didi not appear in the picture. any way after moving to the left it stopped then proceeded to rapidily rise then move to the right and then off out of view because of the trees. I put on my sneakers to run down the road to see if I could continue to see it and in the distance it was hovering counter clockwise circle. Two airliners were approaching from two different directions but bot! h traveling west to east where at that time it disappeared during the time I looked at the two airliners,

Saucer flies straight towards us slowly from 45 degree angle down, zooms quickly straight backwards at same angle

I was with a friend and we had just gotten home from her family reunion. It was about 11 PM so it was dark out. Her Dad walked inside ahead of us and her and I both stopped and looked up (I don't know why because we didn't hear nor see anything to make us turn). Above her barn was this bright light, like a sliver in the sky. I had no idea what it was. As we stared at it, it very slowly got bigger and bigger. It was very hard to tell how far away it was in correlation to its size because it glowed in the strangest way. It didn't blink nor did it have lights that I could see. More like it was just made of light. The shape was like a smooshed football, kind of like () if it were horizontal and thinner.

It seemed to me like it was right in front/above us, it started out small above her barn then got very large as it traveled straight towards us, and due to it coming straight towards us like that it seemed like it grew in size (it didn't grow in size it was just the illusion).

It hovered in front of us for a little while and after a minute or so this thing zoomed straight backwards so far it disappeared/was too small to see anymore. Like this thing zoomed back and blinked out of existence. The speed it zoomed back and how far away it got was like nothing I've ever seen before.

While I watched this scene, I was awestruck, I didn't feel anything at all, just watched it with no emotion. I'm a very scared/cautious person, but I just stood there and watched this with no feelings towards it whatsoever.

Once it disappeared my friend turned towards me and said, "Did you see that?!". I replied, "Oh thank god you saw it too!".

We proceeded to go inside and tell her father and he said, "Oh you crazy girls, you have quite the imaginations!". Which made me angry because I needed validation after such a sight.

We went upstairs to go to bed and she just falls right asleep before she even hits the pillow! I was up ALL night and waited for the sun to rise before I could even close my eyes. I was scared to death of looking out the windows but also of NOT looking out the windows.

It was a very nerve wracking night for me with plenty of hiding under the blankets and being too scared to move.

Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object

I was driving West on NY state I88 when I spotted a UFO in the shape of a disk/saucer hovering above a field. It was silver/gray with blinking orange/yellow lights evenly spaced all the way around it. It was about 8 stories above the ground. There were no houses/buildings anywhere in the immediate area. It did not appear to move at all, just hover. The vehicle immediately behind me turned his lights off, back on, then turned his high beams on several times, flashing me to get my attention I assume. I slowed down to get a good look at the object but did not stop, as I was alone with my 3yr old son. I arrived home about 10 minutes later & told my boyfriend what I had seen, and we got back in the car with our DVcamcorder and went looking for it. I backtracked and was able to locate the field where I saw it, but it was not present. We drove a way in both directions to see if it had moved, but did not see anything.

I went out to check my mail box. Something caught my eye and I looked up and I saw a craft moving no more than 10 miles per hour. It was a perfect triangle, deep purple in color, about 40' long and 20' wide. It made no noise whatsoever. It was traveling west. Then all the sudden 3 minutes later it shot up straight into the air at an incredible speed and vanished thru the clouds. I live in a rural town. I was the only one outside. It was no more than 100' feet the ground. I thought ufos were a hoax or some secret goverment craft. But not anymore. No one believes me when I tell them what I saw. I thought about calling the Airforce base or the police but I was too scared too. I do not want to get involved with the authorities of the goverment.

Strange "Passenger Jets" I first thought it was a passenger jet, but it was extremely low over my house. I, too, heard very little noise, nothing loud enough to be a jet engine. I even checked out some air force sites, and told myself it must have been one of their low-flying bombers like the B1B Bomber. We have several air bases in a 100 mile radius. It was broad daylight on a sunny day around 2pm. When I read the account of the sighting featured on your website, I realized that I saw the same object as this person in Trenton. It flew very slowly and I remember the shape was similar to your graphic on the site, maybe a little longer.

Thought I post this - maybe the person who posted the other siting will see it.

Low-flying triangular object

(sorry, do not remeber exact date, but thought someone might be interested). I was out walking my dog. I looked up and saw an aircraft flying in a NW direction. It was flying very low. It appeared as though it were less than 200 feet off of the ground. I noticed that it appeared to be triangular shaped and I thought it was trying to land somewhere, but there are no airports within 40 miles of us, and it appeared as though it were going to land in the next mile or so. I watched it pass overhead and then I noticed there was no sound. I picked up my dog and went in the house. I heard nothing on the radio about plane crashes or any other strange sightings. I lived near an area that has also recently had crop circles form. Here is a link of some pictures and info of the 2003 crop circle.
