Shape: Cigar
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

I was shooting long exposures and saw a line with small round lights along the length.

I was shooting long exposures hoping to capture the northern lights. I saw, to my left (north west) what appears to be a small very bright line with round lights along the length moving from left to right (West/north west to the east/southeast
it seemed like it was pretty high up, definitely not a meteor or aircraft. In the video, which is not great, you will see what looks like a “line” moving across the sky. The two still photos are
long exposures, so the detail
gets lost a bit. The size stayed pretty consistent although it did get noticeably bigger as it moved over my location and appeared to just fade out. I do a lot of night photography and have never seen anything like this. It was way too slow to be a meteor, or even an aircraft.

Occurred: 2021-08-18 20:25 Local

Duration: 3 minutes
No of observers: 4

Location: Barre, VT, USA

Shape: Triangle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Triangle shape with green and red blinking lights and one static white light hovering in the north sky over Barre VT before flying off

My daughter was outside with the cat and said she saw a UFO, so I went to look. To the north, seemingly at airplane altitude was a triangle with 2 or 3 green blinking lights on one side and 2 or 3 red blinking lights on the other with a white static light in the middle.

It wasn't moving. I watched for a moment and then called my wife outside to look. We watched for a minute and were both confused by it. It didnt seem to be moving, just staying in one place with lights blinking.

At that point I went to get binoculars. As I came back upstairs I heard what sounded like a furnace blowing and when I got out on the deck my wife said the craft just flew southward overhead really fast and was out of sight past the trees on the hill across the street and then a second later flew back overhead to the north and was gone. The sound I heard from inside was the sound it made while moving.

I tried getting a picture or video but the lights were barely visible on my phone screen, even zoomed in. The sunlight was nearly gone and the sky was overcast so on the camera it was too dark and all blended together.

I am a "believer" and seeking truth in everything. My wife is more conservative than me. I have a master's degree and work in healthcare. My wife has a bachelor's degree as an educator.

Duration: 10 minutes
No of observers: 0

Location: Barre, VT, USA

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

It was clearly some type of air craft round sphere with incredible navigational control and variable speed.

This 58 year old observer is prior military Seaman/U.S.Coast Guard/ ANT (Navigation Technician) technician trained to search for lights with many nighttime missions at sea in Maine and Canada.

I was walking home at night and made my usual stop to catch my breath at the top of the hill before my home, a cleared area where I look to the east towards Maine and look at the stars on clear nights. I observed one star far off in the distance that seemed unusually bright and looked closer at it to observe anything different.

When I focused more attention it immediately began to move across the sky and then directly towards me at first a moderately rate, then faster, and then suddenly silently stopped in front of me approximately 100 yards away and 500 feet elevation. It made no sound. The sphere shaped object appeared to be approximately 120 ft. in diameter and was clearly honeycombed with dimples like a golf ball, bright white light with goldish fluctuating tint. It appeared to be observing me as I just remained calm and stared up at it. This lasted about 5 minutes.

Suddenly what appeared to me as clearly some type of unusual flying craft, took off slowly over my head to the west then increased its speed to warp speed or mach speed and just disappeared off in the distance without a sound.

Bright light/disk shaped ship with 5 windows hovering for at least 45 minutes near exit 6 I-89

I came home from work about 1800. My wife told me she could see a strange bright light in the western sky. I told her it was probably the satellite that we have always seen in the western sky. She told me to take a look anyway.

I went out in my yard and this very bright object (about 10x a bright star) was hovering more south and lower in the southwestern sky. My wife had said it was slowly steadily dropping in altitude looking up to exit 6 ramp to I-89.

I figured to look at it from my bedroom window with binoculars to see above the trees obscuring my view. When I looked out my bedroom window, I had a perfect view of this light just over the apartment building across the street.

I estimate the distance to this light 1-2 miles. Maybe less. maybe more. Very hard to tell the distance but it was quite bright. When I looked at this light with my binoculars it looked light a disk/oval ship with 5 windows that I could see. It was like pulsating! The aura of bright! light all around it. I shouted for ((name deleted/wife)) to come confirm this as I really could'nt believe my eyes. I gave the binoculars to her,looked up and it was gone. No trace. Almost like it knew I spotted it. It was very strange but my wife asures me that this object was airborne and not a land based object on the hill.

Object with triangle pattern lights, two white, one red moving slowly

I witnessed what appears to be a single craft with three lights flying very slow. The object moved like a helicopter. Three lights could be seen on the bottom in a triangle pattern. Two white lights and one red. The lights where solid. I was driving and the road noise would have prevented me from hearing any sound if there was any.

3 reflecting objects seen in day sky in formation

3 lights in close proximity where witnessed on route to work at 8:30am. The lights resembled stars you might see in the night sky. The formation was that of an upside down L. The sky at 8:30 was very bright with the sun shining reflecting off the three objects. The objects where semi-stationary. When observed using a building top as reference it could be seen that they all did sway slightly left-to-right and up-to-down. The only explanation I can come up with is 3 super large silver balloons strung together. The 3 objects where not hard to see, as would be ballons high up in the sky. The objects clearly reflected sunlight and after a minute disappeared. The sky was cloudless.

1 Orange fireball not moving

My dad and I woke up for a few mins to smoke a cigarette and he said, what is that?! So I looked in the direction he was pointing and seen an orange fireball in the sky. We could see it at level to the tree lines through the trees in the sky. It was a round fireball. It was not moving, just sitting in one place and did not move as far as we know. It may have been there for a while longer we just noticed it as we woke up. Then after looking at it for about 4 mins it just went out, nothing. Like it just blinked out. We live on a hill and it was facing out through the trees overlooking the town. Before this happened a few weeks ago, have been seeing other strange things, hearing strange noises, and all different types of strange occurances.

Bright orange lights fading in and out in a perfect diagonal pattern over Barre

Driving on the south end of Allen st we saw a two bright orange lights toward the north east that didnt look like it was much more than 100 feet high. The two lights where in a diagonal pattern. The Bottom light would fade out and a new light would appear in a perfect diagonal pattern at the top. The the original top bright orange light would become the bottom and it too would fade out and a new one would appear in line above the one light left. It gave the appearance that the lights where "walking" but never actually going anywhere.

Comet-like object moving very slowly east over Barre, Vermont

From Barre, Vermont About 6:45 pm Monday evening (Dec. 10) I came home from work and looked up in the sky. It was a bit hazy, but almost directly overhead the sky was clear. I saw what looked like a "blobby" mass, at first thought it was the Pleaides, but they were farther to the east. I watched it for 5 minutes or so and it didn’t appear to move, or if it did it did so very slowly.

It looked very much like the photos I took of Halley’s Comet in Australia during the period of time when there was no tail.

I tried to find the list of comets in the "Farmer’s Almanac," but none were listed in the 2008 edition.

After about 10-15 minutes inside I went back outside with binoculars to look at it more closely, but it was gone. It didn’t seem to be moving fast enough to have gone out of my field of view so I can’t explain why I couldn’t see it the second time (this would have been shortly after 7 pm or so).
