2 Orbs flying faster than anything flew across my field of vision, drifted apart then together, instant acceleration, on cam

On 4/28/25 at about 9:30 PM, I witnessed 2 Orbs flying together in unison. They were flying faster than anything I've ever seen moving in the sky before, and they were clearly flying independently of one another, yet next to each other the whole time. Luckily I was video recording the sky before this moment in anticipation of this (because I have been seeing them constantly), but because they were moving so fast, I had trouble keeping them in the frame.

I was watching this one patch of sky when I suddenly see two satellites flare up simultaneously and on a trajectory that was rather unusual. They were about to criss-cross, and they were both in the perfect spot of the sky to flare up significantly, and it just created a really cool visual effect. This was going on near the Big Dipper, which I was not looking at at the time. So, these satellites drew my attention from one end of the sky to the other.

I get up and pick my tripod and iphone up, which was still recording. I had been recording for about 30mins at that point, hoping to see something unusual. I was about to pack it up and call it a night, but before I did, I wanted to see if the camera was good enough to at least detect the two really bright satellites I was watching criss-cross in the sky.

Within a few seconds of planting my eyes on that part of the sky, 2 white orbs suddenly blast across my field of vision and over the treeline. When I say "blast", I mean these things were bookin' it, they were moving wildly fast. They were 2 orbs of white light flying together in unison. As they passed directly in front of me, I could clearly see the two orbs drifting closer together and then further apart as they flew, confirming to me in that moment that this was two separate, independent objects moving together.

I couldn't believe my luck - not only was I already recording, but I was pointing the camera at the exact patch of sky that it came out of, and managed to capture a large chunk of the event. Especially the parts where it displayed some really crazy maneuver, including what I perceived to be instant acceleration.

Anyway, these two things fly directly across my field of vision. They came over the treeline close together, and as they zipped passed me, they spread further apart in flight. Then, as they continued on their way and turned left a little bit, they got tighter together again, coming out of their left turn and now turning right a little bit to resume a straight flight path. Then, as I was watching them fly off into the distance, I could clearly see the two orbs do a sudden "juke" or "zig" to the right, instantly. On the footage it appears similar to a camera artifact one might see when somebody moves their arm while recording or has shaky hands, but I saw this sudden movement with my own eyes - the sudden "zig" to the right you see on video is what happened and was witnessed by me and my naked eyes.

Then, right after it did that instant "zig" to the right, the 2 orbs suddenly began spreading apart from each other again and started banking left. Right before it began banking left, the one orb drifted into the 1:00 O'Clock position, and the other positioned itself at the 7 or 8:00 O'Clock position (in relation to one another), and together they banked left as if they were a single body, and I lost sight of them in the distance.

NOTE: This is not the first time I have seen something exactly like this. I have spammed your website with reports in the last few days because I am filing the reports all at once. I did not file right away because I wasn't entirely convinced what I was seeing was anomalous. Now, I know. This isn't normal at all. The first time I saw 2 orbs, they were exactly the same as this time. It was 3/25/25, some time between 6 and 7:00 PM. They were moving the same speed, looked exactly the same, were flying in unison just like this time, and they even pulled a 90 degree right angle turn without deceleration, and when they did so, they turned into pitch black pointed ovals. Upon leveling off from their turn, they began resuming a circular shape. I believe what I saw and what I captured on video on Monday, 4/28/25, is the same group of orbs (or at least the same phenomenon or technology) that I saw on 3/25/25.

Saw the V-shaped cluster of lights/orbs 2nd night in a row. They flew over very fast, then banked and turned while climbing in altitude

On the evening of April 24, 2025, at approximately 10:20 PM, I observed an unusual aerial phenomenon while skywatching from my back deck. After letting my eyes adjust to the darkness, I detected a tight cluster of faint lights rapidly approaching from over the horizon to my left. I immediately raised my binoculars and locked onto the object, revealing a formation of small, steady, star-like lights arranged in a lopsided V-shaped pattern - identical to the formation I had seen the night before (also reported to NUFORC right before this).

Unlike the prior sighting, however, the lights were more easily visible to the naked eye, appearing as distinct, self-luminous points without any blinking or strobing. The formation moved extremely fast, transiting a large portion of the sky overhead in roughly 1–1.5 seconds. As it passed above me, the V-shape gradually shifted into a clustered appearance due to my changing perspective. In the final moments before it disappeared over the treeline, the object performed a distinct banking maneuver, tilting sideways in a manner similar to an airplane turning, and appeared to climb in altitude while doing so. No sound was detected throughout the sighting, and there were no visible navigation lights, strobes, or signs of conventional aircraft. The consistency, speed, and behavior of the formation ruled out birds, drones, or known aircraft, and reinforced my impression that I was witnessing something truly anomalous.

One thing I forgot to include in my initial sighting from 4/23/25, though, was that I have the flight numbers for two airplanes that were also within view while this object flew toward them. No idea if their radars or instrumentation caught it or not but it could be worth looking into.

Brown smudge-like V gliding across sky. Through binos, it resolved into a cluster of glowing lights.

Shape: V-Shaped, with one side of the 'V' longer than the other

Number of objects: 1 object flying alone, but when viewed through binoculars, several (or more) solid dots of white light flying in a cluster

Size/Elevation: No clue. If you were to measure an inch using your index finger and your thumb and then hold it up to the sky at arm's length, that would be about how big the whole V-shaped formation appeared to be from one tip of the 'V' to the other.

While standing outside looking at the sky on the evening of 4/23/25, I noticed a very faint, brown, smudge-like shape gliding quietly and slowly across the sky above me. It resembled a very light cloud drifting across the sky by itself, one that is semi-transparent and very hard to see against the backdrop of a inky black night sky. My initial thought was Geese, even if it was a bit later than they'd ordinarily fly, at least for what I'm used to. I took a closer look at it but found it was very hard to see. When I looked directly at it, it became harder to make out.

Using my peripheral vision to try and get a better idea of its form instead, I was able to make out that it was a V-shaped object, with one leg of the 'V' longer than the other. Within the brownish, smudge-like flying 'V', I could just barely make out several individual objects that were within it. This had me thinking it was definitely Geese at this point, especially since the lop-sided 'V' formation is a form they take on consistently when migrating.

I decided to double check, though, so I looked at them through my binoculars. What I saw though didn't at all resemble the brown, cloud-like "smudge" I was just viewing with my naked eyes a second earlier; rather, it was dozens of small little circular lights/orbs, white in color (the same exact color and luminosity as non-twinkling stars). There were dozens of them, and they were flying in this very tight formation, very close to each other. None of them ever wavered or moved from their position relative to the other while flying in this cluster/group/formation.

No blinking lights/navigation lights, no changes to the luminosity or color of each dot of light were seen either. No indications of bird-flapping or other standard Geese/bird behavior I'd expect to see while they're flying in formation.

At this point, I had a solid lock on the object, so I began rapidly alternating between binoculars and naked-eye views - lifting the binoculars for a magnified look, then quickly lowering them to compare it with the unaided view, repeating this process several times. What really threw me off was how the object(s) looked completely different in each one. The thing seemed low enough and distinct enough where I was confident that should've been able to see those lights with my eyes - at least a few of them since there were so many - and yet could not. Also, I COULD make out little individual bodies of mass within the 'V' initially (as mentioned above), but they were not white lights at all - they were brown and smudge-like just like the rest of the formation when viewed initially.

The lights were perfectly circular and appeared to be self luminous. They looked to be about the same luminosity as stars, but were not twinkling in any fashion - their color remained constant and unchanging. I do not know how many dots of light this V-shape thing was composed of, but there was a lot from what I could see in the 5 seconds I had it in my sight. Easily more than 10. These weren't like, little lights on an aircraft's wingtips and such - this was what seemed like dozens of little balls of light flying super close together without wavering or bobbing or shifting at all. Just silently flying together.

I could not see the entire V-Shaped formation when I was looking through my binoculars - the object was big enough I guess to fill most of the magnified field of vision they provide. When magnified, though, I could see anywhere between 5-8 of the little balls of light. Maybe more.

From there, the object began to fade into the light pollution and then was gone.

One last thing: this was the first sighting I had of the object. The second sighting came one night later, on 4/24/25. So, I saw this thing two nights in a row - and this is being reported by somebody who has stargazed avidly for over 20 years and hasn't seen anything like this at all. I will file a separate report for the 4/24/25 sighting.

4 red/orange lights moving south southwest approximately 1500 feet up in the sky

I was driving heading east towards Chester, PA on Edgemont Ave in Parkside, PA when I noticed 4 red/orange lights in the sky moving from my left to my right. So I made a right turn on the next street to get a better look at the objects. By the time I pulled over to get a better look, there was only one object still visible that I could see. It was approximately 1500 feet up in the sky and was now stationary. My first thought was that they may be helicopters but there was no sound that I could hear. I carry binoculars in my car so I used them to get a closer look at the object. That's when I could see it was oval shaped and there were no other blinking lights on the object. It sat there for about 1 minute and then it just blinked out. I couldn't tell if it left or was just too dark to see any more. It all happened so quick that I didn't have time to grab my phone to try and record it.

3 orbs appear out of thin air in a flash, fly low & fast in triangle formation, begin spiraling around each other, then vanishes

It was just after midnight on 8/15/24, and we had a lot of rain the previous week, so I was making up for lost time, since I didn’t get to stargaze during that period. I went over to this walking path I use almost daily; it’s not a path in the woods or anything, it’s one that is on the edge of town, but snakes through a suburban neighborhood at certain parts. The path is perfect for lazy stargazing, because I don’t have to travel very far to get there, and even though it doesn’t provide the best view of the sky, the fact that it’s on the outskirts of town minimizes the light pollution I’d see otherwise, so I get a pretty good view of the stars there.

I’m walking down the path, and a bend is up ahead. On the left of me are rows of mid-sized homes on a slight incline, basically the middle of suburbia. Behind the rows of houses is a tree line, which from my perspective juts upward above the houses, and obscures a part of the sky. Just above the tree line is where the reddish-colored haze of light pollution begins, but it is very minimal.

Directly above me is a clear look at the sky - bright, but crystal clear.

On my right, another row of houses just like on the left, with some trees behind them too. This is irrelevant though, since everything occurs straight ahead, above, and to the left of me.

As I came out of the bend and the path straightened off, I resumed looking up at the sky. Despite having a fairly limited patch of sky to work with, the patch was big enough, especially in combination with the path, which was not brightly illuminated. It was crystal clear out, there was zero cloud coverage, definitely some humidity but there wasn’t a visible soupy-haze hanging in the air either. The bright moon did drown out some of the stars I’d ordinarily be able to see with ease, but it was still clear enough to look.

The Perseid meteor showers were around that time. I am very familiar with meteors. I’ve seen many, and see them regularly. I’m aware of how they travel, their general speed, their sometimes multi-colored fiery displays, etc. Same goes for most things in the sky and space, such as airplanes and satellites. I’ve seen Starlink. I’ve seen the I.S.S. I’ve seen satellites that are not the I.S.S. I’ve seen things that look like satellites but are actually junk that came off a Chinese rocket after its booster phase. I use flight radars to verify the air traffic above me while I’m looking. I’m not a trained observer, but I use all the tools at my disposal to try and identify unknown things in the sky, and am good at it.

Anyway, I’m coming out of the bend in the path now and am walking straight ahead. I’ve got my headphones on, head craned up at the sky, eyes glued to the stars. After a few moments I glance down at my phone for a second to change the song I was listening to when I suddenly noticed a flash in the sky at about the 11 O’Clock position from my perspective, in my peripheral vision.

Typically, when this happens, it immediately draws my gaze, and is almost always a plane that just became visible from behind clouds (or just close enough for me to see), a fast-moving lightning bug, or even a shooting star if I’m able to look at the origin of the flash fast enough to catch the tail-end of it before it burns up.

In the micro-second it took for me to shift my eyes from my phone up to the sky to see what the flash was, I remember subconsciously assuming it was a plane that just became unobscured by light cloud cover, or maybe the light pollution or something; or, maybe the plane had just its position in such a way that made the lights become more pronounced very suddenly, which happens a lot.

I fix my gaze at where the flash was, and that’s when I saw it.

I saw three white, but sorta cream-colored balls of light in a perfect Isosceles Triangle in front and above me, headed almost directly for me, just off to my left a little. It was moving fast. I could see all of it. Or all of…them?

My first thought was “holy shit, I’m seeing a classic black triangle UFO, I can’t believe it!” and I remember my adrenaline spiking here, I felt it. The excitement. I didn’t see a red light in the center of it though. I was frozen in place; this thing stopped me dead in my tracks. This was way out of the ordinary.

It was coming closer, and as it passed sort of over my head, I began to think that it wasn’t a solid object at all. I couldn’t see any structure to it. These were three orbs, three white/cream-colored balls of light in a perfect triangle that are fucking flying so fast above me, they appear and move more like a spotlight does when the circular light reflects off the bottom of a cloud deck. Except what I was seeing were clearly real physical objects that I can see depth to as it passed above me, even though they moved as if they were just reflections from a spot light. There was something about the quality and way it glided across the sky that stood out as radically different than any other object in the sky that I had ever seen before. It seemed weightless, but clearly physical, and maneuvering perfectly. Smoothly. Together.

I don’t know what altitude they were at, but I can tell you that each of the three orbs was a bit smaller than a dime held at arm’s length. And they were getting closer. And because they were so low, and because the trajectory of the path they were on, I knew they’d be flying above me at such an angle that I could see both the front and the rear and the side of them as they pass, if there is such a thing.

It took less than a second for the realization to set in, that what I was seeing was no plane, nor a classic black triangle I’m so familiar with from UFO history. Any sense of familiarity was gone at this point as this incredible set of objects glided silently above me.

Immediately after realizing that it wasn’t a plane, I remembered to check to see if I could hear anything. I ripped my headphones off my head without taking my eyes off the thing and listened. It was silent. No noise was coming from it. Not a sound other than the comfy end of summer night bugs could be heard.

Then, the next instant, I thought about recording it for a brief second, but knew I didn’t have long given how fast it was moving. My iPhone storage was also full, and I would have been unable to take a recording anyway. My phone was operational immediately after the sighting, and I noticed no disruptions to its functionality or the lights/electricity around me.

Keep in mind, this entire sighting lasted only two seconds. I am able to recall all of this because I am not really recalling it at all - I wrote all of these details literally after the sighting concluded at 12:28am. I know how faulty memory can be.

At this point, knowing I could do nothing but watch the show and try to remember as much as possible, I just stood there motionlessly, looking up at this thing as it silently glided over me. The orbs were in perfect formation. Perfect. They were kind of turning, actually. The whole formation was. As if it wasn’t on a perfect trajectory, but a slightly curved one, and the apex of that little curve is directly above me. It’s hard for me to explain, but from my specific vantage point, the perspective granted me a view of them pulling not really a tight turn by any means, but definitely not completely straight either.

I realized it wasn’t a structured craft so I spent the remaining seconds studying each orb individually, since they were seemingly separate crafts.

Trying to articulate the following is very frustrating to me, because I simply cannot find a way to describe how strange those lights were. They were not like any lights I have ever seen before anywhere, ever, at all. The quality inherent to them was different. Think of all the styles of lights and bulbs and lighting equipment you’ve seen over the years, from streetlights to college dorm room LED strips. No matter how different any of those styles of lights are from one another, they still retain a shared quality amongst each other. There is no situation where you look at a light and wonder “what the fuck is that?” Right? You know it’s a light, it’s just you don’t know where it’s coming from, what it’s fixed to, what building it’s on, etc. You’re not confused about what it is.

What I was looking at were clearly three glowing lights, but they just…were not like those normal, everyday lights we see. These lights weren’t like any lights I have ever seen before. They appeared simultaneously flame-like, but diffuse and contained. There was no blinking, flashing, nor any movement in the center of the lights. There was no flickering. It did not change color. However, I will say that they were just rich in a way I cannot articulate or communicate. They were unnatural, cartoonish, akin to a rendering in Blender or a product of some CGI program. There was something about them that was just... totally different and unnatural. Those are the two points that I really want to drive home to you guys: it was both the way it moved as well as the inherent essence/nature of the lights that was unnatural. It wasn’t what it did, it’s what it was that was so unnatural. I don’t mean “unnatural” as in “synthetic” or “manmade” or “artificial” - I mean it seemed like a light that ordinarily isn’t on the visible spectrum or something.

Slightly easier to explain (though still quite difficult for me I think, I’ve tried and erased so much of this already) is the other strange quality to the lights that appeared slightly more familiar to me. Present in front of the lights/orbs, especially the bottom two, was what appeared to be some type of light wispy haze whipping by as they flew. However, the whispy haze/clouds/whatever was fairly transparent, meaning I could still see the lights/orbs perfectly fine behind the haze/wispy stuff. The wispy haze stuff was flicking across the lights/orbs the same way you’d expect to see them flicking by a large airliner as it flews through light cloud cover. You know what I mean by that?

If you’ve ever seen a passenger plane fly behind light cloud cover, you’ll recall that it becomes partially obscured and then unobscured as it flies through patches of clouds of varying thickness. At night, if the aircraft is low enough, you can see the clouds and haze whip by the lights of the aircraft as it flies fast through the sky. It sort of looked like that, as if there were some type of clouds or haze around these orbs, constantly in front of them, but not around them, or enveloping them.

As soon as the realization set in that this wasn’t a plane or even the classic black triangle UFO, my body and mind reacted in a way I did not expect it to. I was literally living something I have always wanted to experience, and hoped to experience. In the first split second, when I drew my eyes to the flash, I was composed and logical; I remember running down my mental checklist at lightning speed (e.g was it making sound? what time is it? how fast? how low? electrical disruptions? lost time? Animal disruptions?). I tried to soak in as many details with my naked eye as I could before I lost it.

But as it flew over me, and I saw the quality of those lights, and how fucking strange it moved across the sky, I was hit with a pretty visceral reaction to what I was witnessing. I felt suddenly flushed with adrenaline, like my entire body’s blood supply just got re-rerouted to where it needed to go in order to deal with a fight or flight scenario you were just confronted with suddenly and without warning, a really bad one. It was similar to that sudden sinking feeling people report feeling in their gut when getting bad news, or seeing something awful, or gross. My adrenaline spiked, and even as I type this now, I can feel my hands start to tremble a bit. It wasn’t really fear though. I don’t really know what I was feeling actually. But my point is that the thing was so obviously anomalous and other-worldly that the instantaneous recognition of that fact just frazzled my entire system in an instant. It was so outside the realm of familiarity that it shocked me, I guess. I understand now why even witnesses who have time to record these things almost never end up being able to avert their gaze long enough to grab the camera. It was truly incredible, and yet all I had seen up until this point were three lights/orbs flying in formation on a relatively straight path. As I said, at this point, it was its very nature that was so unusual.

It continued to glide across the sky, now going from the 11 to my 10 O’Clock position. I’m beginning to pivot on my heels a bit now to keep my eyes on it. I have to turn my body as it moves to my side. The altitude of it stays the same throughout. Same with speed. At this point in the sighting, it is now clear to me that this is much lower than I initially thought it was because I realize how quickly I have to turn my body to keep track of it. This wasn’t high at all. I remember feeling small and vulnerable at this point, now that what was happening was becoming clear to me.

As it continued gliding, it then reached a point nearly directly to my left, gliding from the 10 to the 9 O’Clock position, and is about to get lost behind the treeline of those houses I told you about at the beginning. I only had a few more moments before it would fly behind the trees and out of sight, or get lost in the light pollution.

This next part was really important, because it confirmed for certain that what I was seeing was not a single, structured craft. As it flew from the 12 O’Clock position to my 9 O’Clock position, and as I was pivoting on my heels and rotating my body to the left to compensate for it’s very fast movement, I could see that all three lights/orbs were performing some sort of turn in unison, which basically from my perspective enabled me to see one of the orbs pass in front of the other at the apex of this minor turn in trajectory. This allowed me to see the distance between the orbs, and the space in between them, for a split second.

This incredibly brief moment really highlighted how freakishly perfect these orbs were in formation. The tightness of their turn, the smoothness of their glide. None ever deviated. They were not floating like a balloon, bobbing around. These were not balloons strung together. It’s like they were fixed to a specific quantum point in physical space, and gliding across that invisible track in the sky, in accordance with the programmed path of the others, equally smooth and unwavering. All three performing a perfect turn in the sky, no sound, as if they were reflections on a cloud deck, yet with depth, and whispy haze wipping across the brilliant, but very strange, lights.

It’s as if they were magnetically aligned with the others and tethered to each other so perfectly that they didn’t move at all. Even the individual fighters in the midst of the tightest of ‘V’ formations float around a little bit while holding the ‘V’ . Even autonomous drone swarms, at least the ones I’ve seen on Youtube, deviate a bit.

And then there’s just the way the whole thing glided across the sky. The way it actually moved across the sky didn’t resemble anything I’ve ever seen. I don’t know how to explain it or what even could explain the difference, but it flew differently then the way planes do. If you watch a fighter jet at top speed and a commercial airliner at top speed, there are differences of course - differences in appearance, differences in speed, one breaks the sound barrier, the other doesn’t….but they’re both objects flying through air and experiencing friction. The way this thing moved, it was like it was weightless. Reflective. Ethereal. And yet undoubtedly physical, and with depth between each other, moving with precision I have not seen in aviation.

I think that weird reaction I had when seeing it was the uncanny valley thing, or something similar. Like an immediate subconscious recognition of something unfamiliar to me and the entire genetic lineage of my species. It made me think about all the close encounter stories of landed or low flying crafts, and how all the dogs and cattle and horses flip the heck out when these things are in the vicinity. It’s like they’re reacting to a predator.

Anyway, the best way I can describe the movement of the lights/orbs was that it resembled a video game cutscene, like the CGI from it. It looked like it wasn’t real. It had that reflective quality to it, that is recognizable in the same way you see a spotlight moving on the cloud deck and know it isn’t affixed to an airplane. There was an inherent quality to it that just made it seem fake. I wish I could describe it better…I feel like I should be able to, but I know I can’t, and that’s just another thing that makes me feel so fucked with after this incident. Like, it’s a joke that I even saw something like this, and it’s also a joke not only because I literally can’t explain it for you fully or in a way that encapsulates the true nature of it, but because I’m even trying to at all.

Now, back to this little maneuver it’s doing, and the nanosecond of time I saw the one orb pass in front of the other as it turned and banked simultaneously, like a giant triangle in the sky being tilted by invisible fingers.

I tried my best to find a video that best captures the type of angle I was viewing this from, and what I mean by an orb passing in front of the other. Watch the below video of planes flying in formation, starting at 1:49. Note how they approach from nearly head-on, then fly past the camera, giving us a glimpse of the formation of planes from the side. That’s what I mean. I was able to see these things from the side for a split second (btw, I don’t know if the UFOs in the clip below are real, I just needed a good video of airplanes in formation captured from a perspective that was close to mine).

Eventually, their maneuver/turn is finishing off, and they’re sort of beginning to reorient themselves back to how they were before, but not quite out of it fully yet, and it’s beginning to fly away from me now. It was like they were re-adjusting while still in formation. Straightening back out.

But then, it didn’t really end up straightening back out. As it rotated and was seemingly about to resume its original position (while still gliding across the sky), it does something that stuns me.

Very suddenly, the orb I was mostly fixed on the whole time (the bottom right) suddenly began to violently vibrate in place as it stayed in formation and flew with the others. It was like a slightly loose lug nut being violently rattled, and it’s slightly bouncing in place as the other properly screwed-in lug nuts remain properly affixed. Envision some type of lug nut or screw slightly loose on a vehicle driving down a bumpy road, and you can see the nut slowly vibrating and swiveling as it loosens and spins due to the vibrations of the bumpy road. Make sense? That blew my mind when I saw it happening, and really startled me, because it’s like it was being shaken out of place, while staying in place, in formation, in the middle of some type of trajectory change.

Suddenly, it did the most incredible thing. As the one orb continues to vibrate, it gets more intense and more intense as if it’s vibrating to the point that it’s about to become detached and shook loose from the invisible quantum dot it was fixed to.

And then, the exact moment it fully “shook loose”, it initiated a spiraling maneuver - all three orbs simultaneously. Each orb began circling around an invisible center, perfectly. As it glided over me, the orbs were spiraling around and around and around. The lights were not perfect circles now; they left a tail in their wake, sort of like a comet, or the vapor trail of a meteor if that makes sense, but just as luminous as the light itself. The speed of the spiraling motion seemed to remain constant, but the orbs seemed to be getting sucked in to the center slowly, with each rotation becoming tighter and tighter.

Three orbs are spiraling across the fucking sky around an invisible center like a fucking sci fi movie directly above me at this point. I can’t believe it. It was literally like the above video, but if the orbs each had their own comet-like tails behind them, and the plane wasn’t there, and the orbs were gradually converging into the center where the plane originally was in the video. The way the spiral happened was otherworldly, and so perfect in its precision that it looked like an animation you’d see in a videogame loading screen where there are animated/CGI graphics of celestial bodies orbiting around a sun. Smooth and perfect. No deviations. Like the path each orb was on was plotted with precision.

The way they converged into the center was was as if someone pulled the drain plug to the aether, and the orbs were being sucked down into it, circling the ethereal, invisible drain and being pulled closer into the center as they spiral around and around and around more and more quickly, still gliding in a relatively straight path. Literally think of the specks of dirt in a gross bath tub and how they swirl and spiral around and around until it gets to the center and sucked down the drain. It looked like that. But with scientific precision as if it was a projected image, or simulated.

Then, each of the three lights, spiraling around the center, got closer and closer to the center until they finally converged at a single point in the center. The instant those lights met eachother in the center, they all blinked out of existence right before my eyes, in a crystal clear part of the sky. Similar to how it appeared in the first part, except when it appeared, it seemed to emit a bright flash before becoming visible. However, that flash that intially drew my attention to it also happened in the crystal clear part of the sky.

I copy and pasted this from a report I wrote and posted to my newsletter on Substack, so I apologize if the wording seemed a bit strange. And apologies for the length too but this really impacted me a lot.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183305
Occurred: 2023-11-01 09:30 Local
Reported: 2024-10-03 12:46 Pacific
Duration: About 4 seconds
No of observers: 2 - Military

Location: Chester, VA, USA
Location details: From our kitchen table which faces a north pointing 6-over-6 kitchen window.

Shape: Orb
Color: Silver-White
Estimated Size: small cantaloupe to a large orange
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: 15
Angle of Elevation: 5
Closest Distance: Two and a half feet.
Estimated Speed: It went 8.5 feet in 4+seconds
Characteristics: Emitted beams, Made a sound

Object emerged through widow and flew to kitchen table across the room where it disappeared. Projected a narrow beam off the bottom.

My wife and I were having our morning coffee at our round kitchen breakfast table. Abruptly, a silver-whitish orb burst through the kitchen window (it was closed and did not break). The orb paused momentarily above the kitchen sink which is directly under the window. It then raced across the room towards our table where we were sitting on opposite sides of the table. It traveled in a straight line but angled slightly towards my side of the table. It seemed to be beaming a very narrow (no more than an inch wide) beam towards the floor from the middle portion of the orb´s rounded bottom (my wife did not observe the beam as she was awe struck by the orb´s abrupt appearance). When it got close to the table, it paused momentarily. The orb had a seam that ran the length of the orb in the middle. During that moment I could see into the beam and it was like looking into a deep-sky photo of distant stars. I could not see through the beam to what should have been the other side of our kitchen. At that instant, the orb abruptly disappeared and the beam collapsed. We were flabbergasted and it has taken us almost a year to decide to report our experience. As for size, I would describe it as a small cantaloupe while my wife thought it more like an orange. I also thought that I could hear a slight whirring noise that I thought came from the beam. My wife did not hear anything. The weather was clear with no storms.

My wife and I are both retired with masters degrees. She is a former teacher and I am an industrial engineer and veteran.

I saw a large silver/white glowing object moving across the horizon

I live in rural Vermont and saw this moving object in the sky when I took my dogs out early on Monday morning. I am a science teacher and have taught astronomy for years. This was nothing I have ever seen and I am baffled. The craft was large but there was no noise. I saw no wings and the craft moved at variable rates of speed along the same trajectory which seemed inconsistent with Newtonian physics. The craft looked metallic and shiny but it was too bright to determine what type of metal from a distance. I checked below that there were lights on the object but it actually seemed as if the object were glowed and emitted light all around it.

Was looking at the jetliner then a bright shape took my attention and the other persons too. It was like traveling against the wind maybe, it looked like it was expanding maybe it was the effects of my camera but it was just no sighting of propulsion or anything that can explain how it flies. There was an aircraft flying when this happened then no other airplanes flying afterwards. Approx direction is attached.

extremely low flying & slow moving triangular/stealth, emitting intensely bright and moved through the air like it was floating

On Wednesday, March 4th, around 8:30pm I was driving on 93N between exits 1 & 2 in Salem, NH and I noticed an extremely bright light in the distance ahead. It was a very clear night so I assumed it was a planet or something I missed hearing about being able to see since I’m not so big on social media anymore these days and I don’t watch the news. About 30-45 minutes later, I was heading home on route 102 in Chester from Derry. I was on the phone with my friend who lives less than a mile from me in Chester and who was home and getting ready to meet me at my house.

As I approached the center of Chester at the 102 and 121 intersection I saw an insanely bright light coming from the 121A area toward Sandown. I took the right onto 121A while telling my front what I was seeing, he said that he had “something weird in the sky” himself a little while ago. He got in his car and headed to mat house at the same time as me as we stayed on the phone. I took a left onto a side street off of 121A in Chester, the closer I got, the brighter the light got, it was so low, and moved so slowly, like a crawl. The light was this different kind of bright. Much stronger and wider than a flood light. Like a globe of bright of off-white hue. As I took the left it was to my right coming toward me it looked as if almost barely missing the roofs. As it passed so. Fucking. slowly. Above me, I saw that it looked like a stealth bomber or something similar, and the whole entire underside of the left wing was light up red, the middle was that massive bright I was se! eing but it seemed to be dimming now, and the right wing under side was lit up in blue. It crawled over 121A toward Hampstead out of sight for just a short second, and then it reappeared- it had taken a right and was a little further in the distance. I got out of my car when I could still see it and it was silent but in its path behind it left a trail that felt and sounded almost like a wind tunnel or a subway arriving while waiting inside and underground station. It stopped what looked like over the Chester General Store area for a good a 45 minutes, it just hovered in the air.

My friend arrived while I was still in the driveway and saw it turn and where it was hovering. We were on my back porch smoking while we watched it hover through the trees in the distance and seem to play tricks on us With the lights. Flashing greens and reds. All of a sudden we see it start moving toward us, again, so. fucking. slowly. Through trees, it goes right over my neighbors house, takes a right, we go inside and watch it through the windows, through the trees. Down the middle of the street, crawling through the air, and we go out the front door. It takes another right, so now it is where it was the first time I saw it about an hour ago. It turned slightly so it was now angled a little more toward us, then it stopped and hovered for a minute or so. Suddenly odd flashing lights catch the corner of our eyes to our right, we see what looks to be another one but seems to be smaller or look as if it were fourth in the distance. It come closer, stops and hovers. The other! one turns toward it. They both go directly at each other, a little faster than they had been, but still slowly, while red and white lights were flashing like lasers almost from each other, then they meet nose to nose and go directly over/under each other behind a thick cloud. We lose site of one for a few minuted while the other one stops almost immediately from the cloud. Then we suddenly started seeing orange and green blinking lights from much further away all and seemed to be in some kind of formation.

We saw the same things in the sky just at a further distance the next day. We both felt like it was “watching us” through the trees when we could see the light. It had a creepy feeling. I was so grateful my friend was there to witness it with me or I literally would have thought that I had lost my mind or had been dreaming, it all seemed so unreal, like a movie.

12:45 PM-shiny, disk/saucer shape seen in daylight over 101 north towards Chester, NH. Seen swaying side to side.

On 2/24/20 at aprox 12:45PM I was driving West bound on HWY 101. I had entered the highway from the Fremont/Raymond exit. As I neared Chester/Auburn I looked up to the right in the sky because a shiny object caught my eye. I initially thought it was a plane, but then I noticed its radical swaying movement and shape. It appeared to look just like a saucer with the round bulb shape on top. Very, very shiny, looked seamless like there weren’t any noticeable wings or other shapes coming off of it. But because it was swaying, I may not have seen details anyway.

The object was swaying or rocking back and forth. I can equate the movement to that of a swing going side to side. Very few whispy clouds in the sky at the time and none on the side of the sky I was looking toward. When I took notice, I was of course driving so tried my best to keep it in sight. I saw this for maybe 4-6 seconds. The craft then disappeared, but only halfway. That lasted for maybe 1-2 seconds. It was like half of the object was gone —just gone. It looked cut in half. Then it completely disappeared for maybe 5 seconds or so.

I’m tyring to give a realistic time frame on this event, but I have to admit I was so amazed at what I was seeing each detail I describe may have been a second or two longer, or possibly even shorter.

The whole object reappeared in the sky further to the right by like 5 inches from my perspective. It then swayed for a few more seconds—side to side again, then it just disappeared entirely. No fading away into the sky, just blip, and gone.

My wife was driving southeast on a fairly populated main side road, it was dark out side at about 6:43pm, And my wife exclaimed” falling star baby look quick!” When I looked up I saw not a falling star but a bright ball of light , one that was closer than any shooting star I have ever seen, it had a blue glow changing into green colors of light as it fell from the sky. It fell as if falling from an invisible opening in the sky... the night was a crystal clear night sky so no clouds or precipitation to obstruct our view and the object was closer than any I have ever witnessed before. The way the object fell was too slow to be a meteor or falling star, also noting that there was no “light trail” following behind the object as it fell. We watched it fall for about 5 seconds before it disappeared into the dark night sky somewhere close to the earth surface. It was the strangest light; object; ufo... I have encountered and felt a duty to report it.

I was driving home from work on 95 south at mm 59 at 11:30pm on 1/21/19. I saw a large object that I thought was a plane or helicopter about 1 mile ahead just west of the highway. It appeared to be hovering. I knew it wasn't a drone because it was too big. I first only saw the top and bottom lights. The top was pulsating between red and orange and the bottom was pulsating between blue and green. After about 10 seconds it slowly moved east towards the highway. It stayed at about 100-200 ft Altitude. The two side lights appeared as it moved over I95. They were yellow/white. They did not pulsate. There was no sound as it passed almost directly overhead. I slowed to nearly 20mph.the surface of the craft became visible. It was a dull dark gray or black and was smooth. As it moved east past the highway, the full diamond shape was visible. Red light on top, blue/green on bottom, and white on the sides. It continued east until it disappeared below the tree line. Thi! s was no normal plane, helicopter or drone. I estimated it was 30-50 ft long. Very odd.

Large square hovering object spotted over Virginia 12/8/18

1 large rectangular object hovering at approximately 2k-3k feet elevation. It was dark outside so I was unable to see the color of the object; I could easily make out the square shaped silhouette. On the bottom of all four corners there were circular shaped white/silver lights. There were a few lights along the vertical side wall around the corners (they were small and I was unable to determine the shape). There were long horizontal linear lights in the center of each side. These lights extended approximately half the distance of each side of the object and stopped approximately 1/4 from each corner (they seem to be sort of centered on each side). There were a couple other randomly located lights along the underside. The object hovered for approx 45 seconds then rotated 180(+/-) degrees and slowly and smoothly moved away toward the SE. During all of the movement it never appeared to change elevation, or pitch. It just appeared to pivot and glide. The total amount of time that I had it in sight was approximately 3 minutes.

Side note: I was driving on my way home when I saw this object. I was in mid conversation with my wife and subconsciously stopped in the middle of the road and became fixated on this object. I stepped out of my truck and just stared at it. It was completely quiet. Even during movement it did not produce a sound. It was by far the largest object that I have ever seen in the sky. The shape was unlike any plane, helicopter, etc. that I have ever seen. My wife apparently kept asking what was wrong and all I could say was “hold on. Wow that’s crazy...what the??” Apparently I was so captivated by what I was seeing that I couldn’t put it into words. After getting home I thought about calling the local police department and reporting it but did not do so for fear of any potential backlash. I wish I could figure out what it was and hopefully provide some closure for myself. I keep telling myself it’s probably something top secret military etc., and hopefully it is, but as of now I have been unable to find anything related to the military that looks like what I saw. The closest object I found was something that some guy in North Carolina posted a picture of not too long ago. The biggest difference is that the object in his picture looked rectangular and what I saw looked very square

Extremely bright electric blue perfect circle or ball of light super super fast flying from N to S in PA towards the moon; 2-3 seconds.

I was sitting in my car talking to my buddy who was facing me. As I looked up at his face to respond to him I saw a super bright electric blue perfect circle go flying by in the sky way above the cloud shelf. It was flying faster than anything I've ever seen in my life and I am 30 years old. I've seen plenty of shooting stars some in person and meteors in video. It was not like those at all.

I am having a hard time describing what I saw, but I would say it was a perfect circle, it was electric blue very bright possibly the brightest thing I've ever seen. It flew faster than any man made object. It was flying at a million miles an hour, it was that fast and it had absolutely no trail behind it and no rays coming from it and it did not flash or flicker it stayed lit. It was flying from the north towards the direction of the moon. The only reason I lost sight of it was because of very thick cloud cover and then it was gone.

I hope this is descriptive enough for others to envision what I saw. I am not a huge believer of UFOS but I'm not closed minded either. I don't know why we are so special that we are the only things that exist. But I can say this is the first and only time I have witnessed anything like this.

I'm still having trouble understanding what I just saw. It is not man made in my opinion because the G's this thing was pulling due to its speed would surely kill anything from this planet.

My background is that I am 30 years old a white male and work at a private golf club in PA. College educated and extremely mechanically inclined and I am an avid fan of cars mostly muscle cars. I own a supercharged Buick daily driver and a 68 Chevelle Complete and a 69 Camaro in progress.

Okay so that's about it for me. I hope Im not the only person who saw this tonight in PA.

The object dwarfed a nearby plane. The object was emmense, extremely large. It dwarfed a jumbo jet...just trying to stress the size of the object! I am sober, coherent and sane.

Quiet, swift moving craft

Moving swiftly across southern sky moving west then an abrupt turn to north, moved directly overhead with 1 solid white light and blue to red at its points. I believed it to be an orb until it was overhead. The birds were loud upon its approach then silent when close and as it moved away. Craft made very little noise when directly above me and made no noise coming or when moving away. Just a whirring sound when above head, Most likely a government secret ops craft but nonetheless weird and awesome. No chance to grab camera and I don't know I have a good enough one to have captured it, sorry. There was no visible exhaust or trail.

Bright lights, shaped triangular with colored lights around that change staying in the night sky.

These have been appearing since 4/6/16 Extremely bright light in center. I have seen them every night. On 4/6 I was up around 4AM, noticed light shaped like a jet pointed upwards in Western sky. It has lights around it, blue, red, green that changed around perimeter. It stayed stationary until 5:30AM just over tree line. On 4/19 there was one that was in the Western sky that was stationary and began to move slowly due West it was around same time. The light was so bright that you could see the reflection off of our lake. I see them every night in sky in different directions, mostly East to West. Sometimes they are grouped and other times not. I have noticed them blinking before also. They are much brighter than stars and I do not think they are satellites. No sound, always clear skies.

I have called my son in another area to look and also a friend that lives 8 miles away. My husband and I watch for them. I tell him the buggers are in the sky! Very freaky.

Hi Peter,

One sighting tonight, March 24th, of a luminous bright gold colored, saucer shaped, object for about two to three seconds though our den window. My wife, Nancy, and I saw it at the same time about 10 minutes to 11 pm and it was approximately 200 yards from where we were sitting. Nancy said she thought it might be an extremely low flying jet – but there was no sound coming from it. We live just south of Chester, Virginia, and the object was north of us. I am wondering if anyone else happened to see this gold glowing object. I have seen hundreds of meteorites and this object was much larger and moving somewhat slower - controlled (?). It seemed to be descending towards Route not from where I-95 connects to Route to 10.

Thanks for all of your work.

Fireball With Long Tail Witnessed by 3 Observers in Chester, SC at 1AM on June 29, 2015

At approximately 1:15-1:30 AM today (June 29, 2015) my wife, 12 year old daughter, and I were returning from vacation on a late night flight from the Charlotte, NC, Airport, going South on Highway 121 headed home to Saluda, SC. We had just passed thru the town of Chester, SC and were about 6 miles south of Chester on Hwy 121.

Suddenly, all 3 of us noticed a fireball in the sky with a magnificent long tail for at least 20-30 seconds in duration (until it was out of sight) that was traveling at what seemed to be the speed of an aircraft. The object was traveling parallel to the ground with possibly a very slight descending projection although it did not appear to be in an emergency situation. No erratic movements or speed changes like portrayed on UFO sightings were seen. The object was heading in a northwestward direction. The altitude although hard to estimate, seemed to be what one would expect from a helicopter flying at its maximum height capability, but again distances can fool you and I cannot verify. I can state however, that the object was blocked for a few seconds from the tree line. I was able to get out of the car to observe this phenomenon, but did not hear any noise whatsoever. The speed was consistent, the path relatively straight. My daughter did mention that at times she tho! ught she observed pieces following each other, she described much like a train. My wife and I did not share this description, but she has far better eyes than either of us.

Although I am not a meteorologist, this did not resemble a typical meteor burning up in the atmosphere, and it lacked the excessive speed and downward projection of a “falling star”. It had a consistent path and offered little change in its course or speed.

I told my boss about this incident and he related a website from TV Channel 12 in Augusta, Georgia with reportings of it being seen there at the same time as we witnessed this occurrence. Augusta is about a 2 hour drive from where we saw the event. Lastly, my wife just reported that witnesses in Charlotte saw the occurrence at 1:30-1:45 (a little later than us) and it is being reported as a Russian satellite.

Triangular UFOs spotted in Chester, West Virginia.

Around 1:00am on the morning of March 20th, 2015, my two sons and myself saw a triangular shaped aircraft fly over the treeline behind our house. It had three points. The two points in the back were white and the point in the front was green.

It hovered over the trees for about 30 seconds before flying away at an excellerated speed.

Three minutes later we saw another one fly by, without stopping, and it looked identical to the one we saw only minutes before.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

From our backyard catwalk, I saw an extremely bright white light suddenly appear almost overhead. My wife and her sister were with me but could not see the small white object probably due to a large tree branch hanging just above them.

At arm’s length, it was approximately one-fourth to one-fifth the size of a pencil eraser, and it was really bright.

After its sudden appearance, it stayed in one spot for five to six seconds, next – it moved to the left about 20 times it width, then, it moved to the right about 40 times its width.

About this time, I tried to get my wife and her sister to see the object – telling them that it looked like a really bright star, but they never saw it.

To get a better view, I got out of my chair and moved away from the over-hanging tree branch. Just as suddenly as it appeared, it disappeared into the blue. Total viewing time was 15 to 20 seconds.

What made this sighting a little bit weird was that a large jet airliner flew ! directly into the same area where the UFO had been less than a minute before bringing with it a long, wide contrail.

Light over the Delaware.

The object looks like a star but there are no stars out because of the recent snowstorm we currently had. If there are any they are not this bright.

The object seems to float there and it's not an airplane because it has remained stagnate for at least 30 min and more. The light on it is bright and there looks as if there's another light going around it. It is not a helicopter because of the wind and it would still be moving in someway or another.

There is only one and its shape is hard to tell since it's just one light but looks there are multiple lights moving around it.

A little about the observer is that I have never seen a UFO and not really a believer in aliens but I felt like this needed to reported to possibly help support someone else's observation.

Also I wanted to be able to report this because it looks out of the ordinary and wanted to share it.

Three friends were hog hunting at about eight o'clock PM. My brother saw the orange ball first. It appeared to me and my other friend that it was just a foxfire! But eventually it changed directions and we all saw it.

I looked at the object through my gun scope to get a better look. It was 4 big orange lights and there was nothing blinking. Eventually it changed completely to where it had blinking lights like an airplane. Then we saw two other orange balls do the same thing.

Ten to twelve orange circles flying in formation southerly over Chester, Connecticut.

We were in our boat in a cove in Chester last night (9/15/12) looking up at the sky (which was very clear). We noticed a few airplanes (blinking lights and /or sound). Then we saw a line of orange lights, non-blinking (relative size as a bright planet from river surface)starting to move in the sky from the north to the south roughly parallel to the river. They seemed to be flying in group formations: one or two of them were in a tight formation perpendicular to each other, and the others in a line of sorts. Clearly they were navigating and moving together. As each one got to a certain point in the sky it seemed to just disappear (can't say that they just took off into the sky or not). We listened carefully for sound but there was none. In total there were probably about a dozen that crossed the sky over about 5-10 minutes. They were round, bright, orange, very distinct, and very coordinated in their movements. We are educated, normal, and sane people an! d were affected by this enough to report it here.

helicopter like body, jet plane wings, miniature jet

I am a 18 yr old male, high school graduate, college student. I have always been somewhat skeptical about UFOs, but until the night of November 8th 2009 (I believe) I saw something completely incredible!

I was walking out of my girlfriends house to kiss her good night at around 8:12 pm. We looked across the lake up towards the mountains and noticed what seemed to be two sets of headlights (meaning four headlights total) coming through the sky( I thought it was coming down the mountain but that was about 6 miles away) my girlfriend too thought it was a car way off in the distance, so she walked inside. I stood there for a few moments noticing the lights getting closer and closer. I noticed a man jog by as I was staring at these lights, which were now only 100 yards away from me and getting closer.a sound of a VERY HIGH PITCHED jet engine came closer and closer(it was so high pitched it was almost a whistle) by this time I was looking straight up in the sky a! t this thing directly overhead me. It had a helicopter shaped body but with wings that were slanted downwards at a slight angle, and at the end of these wings were large “fans” which appeared to be angled down causing the fans to act as propellers. But under the main body was a jet (meaning I saw a small flame shooting out of the bottom which was maybe 2ft long) the object in question seemed to be about 30 ft long with a twenty foot wingspan and was only flying 50 FT OVER THE TREELINE. It proceeded to keep its pace which seemed to be about 100-150 mph I then ran into my girlfriends house screaming and yelling when I told them what I saw and heard thet were amazed because they couldnt hear this thing fly over. In all my experience living around planes, I have NEVER seen anything like this…the guy who was jogging said he thought it was a low flying B12 bomber or something…but it wasn’t that big. I don’t know if this is alien craft but It looked man made…but either way it was! unidentified. There were no blinking lights just one light on! the bot tom and the four “headlights”. this is not a joke or scam. You may Email me at ((e-mail address deleted))

Yellow orb, no noise, disappered after 2 minutes.

Yellow orb in western sky. No “aircraft running lights” (green, red, or white). Partly cloudy, but light was between clouds and us. Was moving fairly fast, left no “trail”. No aircraft type noise. Traveled from north to south for less than (2) minutes, then simply disappeared. Did not fade, or grow dimmer. It was there, and then it was gone. We do live close to a local airport, and can easily identify aircraft (planes, helicopters) in night sky. This was not any type of aircraft lights that we have seen before.

Large, steady red light. Observed 6 minutes minimal motion, accelerated and disappeared in 10 seconds.

I observed a distinct red light through the kitchen window. I went outside to make sure it was not just a reflection off the glass. High in the western sky and above the broken cloud layer was a large bright red light. It was slowly traveling west to east for possibly 3 minutes. The thin cloud layer did not impede the brightness of the light at any time. After being stationary for 30 seconds, the light became a rapid acceleration to the south and completely disappeared in 10 seconds. I am a private pilot (instrument-rated) and can say definitely this in no way resembled a commercial airplane at the approx altitude of 10,000 feet. I frequently watch commercial aircraft over my house on approach to Pittsburgh International Airport. This object would have been in PIT’s airspace or above. Possibly a contact with Pittsburgh ATC could verify a radar contact. The object was much larger and brighter than a commercial high flying aircraft. The color was always a distinct red. It was not airplane navigation lights.

Observed steady, stationary red light in the sky for several minutes; pulsed & disappeared in 3-4 seconds

I looked out of my kitchen window at approx 10:38pm est and noticed a stationary red light in the sky toward the west (it was definitely not moving, as it remained in the same spot in relation to the window frame). It was not pulsing, twinkling, or flashing, but remained steady. It was larger than a star or a planet (4x approx) (it reminded me of a warning light at the top of a cell tower, but it was much, much higher in the sky). I went outside to observe further. There was a very thin and broken cloud cover, and I could see that it was well above that. The light was very bright red and the clouds never obscured it. I watched it for about 6 minutes (looked through binoculars also, but it still just looked like a steady, round red light).

As I continued to watch, the light slowly started to move (3 or 4 seconds, eastern direction), then it pulsed rapidly and moved rapidly (southern direction, still pulsing) and was gone in another 3 or 4 seconds. It didn’t gradually fade out of sight, but rather seemed to disappear as if it had been shot out of a cannon. Viewing concluded at 10:45pm.

This occurred well after our small town's fireworks display was over. I live away from city lights or anything that would distort the night sky. I am approx 30 miles from Pittsburgh International Airport and see aircraft with landing lights on daily. What I saw was not an airplane, and was not in or near the normal traffic patterns. I don't drink alcohol or take any medications.

Long Shiny Object that bobbed and dipped just above the tree top level, no sounds.

I noticed it when I was out feeding my chickens. They saw it first. They turned their heads and looked skywards.

I was thinking I would see a hawk circling. It wasn't a hawk. It moved slowly towards the S.E. Very shiny reflecting the sun,,glowing like. It didn't fly to staight. Bobbed up and down,,,pitched back and forth. Almost looked like it was in trouble. It didn't have wings, tail, or markings of any kind.

What is strange,,,is I just talked to my sister who was coming back from town. She saw it to. She stopped and watched it for quite a while.

THE OBJECT I SAW Shape Oval Oct 8, 2008 Around 12:00 noon Chester, Arkansas

I was in my backyard working on my hen house. I had been out there for a couple of hours. As I was walking over to pick up a hammer, I noticed my hens were looking at the sky.

I turned to look at what had caught their attention. I stared at this object, at about 2:00 clock on the horizon, just above treetop level. The sun was above my head. The object was Oval shaped, and very shiny. It seemed strange to me. It had no tail, wings or windows. It almost glowed. I could make out the reflection on this craft from the sun’s light. One end would be shining more than the other end, as it pitched and dipped.

It appeared to be a craft in trouble. I compared it with a large tree in my yard, that it had just passed over. It was about ¼ the size of the treetop. This tree is a 200+ year old oak. It was so close, yet never made a sound. It vanished behind the trees and out of view. I felt ‘strange’ afterwards. I went back to work building. I have drawn the object that I saw below. It looked very metallic.

I’m sending the image in a separate email. Thank you.

seperate beads of light ( either relecting light or self illuminated) with a stiff black line trailing from the bottom

September 20, 2008 Minutes ago my husband saw what appeared to be something moving very slowly across the sky above our Blooming Grove, NY farm. Through binoculars it appeared high in the sky as we could see birds which appeared to be at the same height much clearer. It was an indeterminate color and either possessed it own source of light or was reflecting light from the sun, i.e. it appeared to glow brighter and dimmer.

Although moving slowly, and at times changing course it was hard to keep a bead on it.

During my best visual of this object it appeared to be separate round balls of light. It also had what looked like a black line trailing at the bottom. My guess is that it might be a released bunch of silver Mylar balloons, the black line, however was not wavy as a string for balloons would be suspended in air.

The day here in NY is calm and sunny and at last sighting the object was headed in a north westerly direction. I would appreciate knowing if anyone else has seen this thing.

Thank You,

Three UFOs in formation seen by many on the night of July 4, 2008 in Chester, WV.

---My name is XXXX XXXXXX and I'm from a small town called Chester in Northern West Virginia. On the Fourth of July (2008) my town was having it's usual festivities as we always do when out of no where three bright red lights appeared in the sky. They appeared to be in a triangle formation and moved together in a very slow, very creepy "floating" motion. At my house more than thirty of my family members, anywhere from age 5 to 83, all saw exactly what I saw. There was a concert in town and the city was probably host to around ten-thousand people or more, most of which saw the lights. I have attached three photos that my aunt took from a different point in town, and I have two poor quality videos on my cell phone that I can send once I figure out how to upload them.

When I saw the lights it was approximately 10:50pm. I filmed two quick videos and took off in the direction of the lights. I eventually lost sight of them but I have friends who were in different parts of the town who claim two of the lights moved in very close as if they were being sucked up into the sky, and the third followed. I originally thought there was only one craft due to the steady formation but now that I have seen many photos and talked to a lot of different eye-witnesses I believe we saw three seperate crafts.

No newspapers or stations have reported anything on these lights, and I as well as many others are frustrated by this silence. We would love to be able to shed light on this.

Shiny Silver Oval Object Over Chester, Arkansas

Well I guess its your basic " I was driving down the road story". I was coming back from mountainburg and was already in chester. I was heading "west" on old crossroads when I noticed a flash in the sky. My first thought was "wow, that plane is flying low".

Then when I looked back up I seen it was making a sharp curve just above the trees. I realized then that no plane can fly that way. So I did a u-turn and went to a spot close by where I knew I could pull off the road. I got out of the car and stood in the road watching this object. It was flying and making curves that a plane could never make. It would then straighten up and fly normal. Then it would slow down and wiggle from side to side. It did both the curving maneuvers and wiggling a few times. It seemed to move more of my way so I was able to get a good look. There is really nothing to explain cause it was very plain looking. It was oval shaped. Toward the edges of this object it got thin. Meaning it was alot thicker in the middle then the edges. There was no markings or windows. It didnt make a sound. But what I consider the most fascinating was the color. It was the most shiny silver color I have ever seen. It was amazing how the sun reflected from this object. I want to say it looked like a piece of polished sterling silver, but it was more shiny then silver. I can honestly say I have never seen such a brilliant piece of metal before. I literally had to shield my eyes from the glare. After it did its funny flying and wiggling a few times it slowed down again. I figured it was going to wiggle like it already had several times. But instead it took off like a bullet. It was so fast I cant even explain how fast it was! It took off in a northwest direction over the top of a mountain. It was still just above the tree line when it took off. It wasnt a large object. As a matter of fact it was rather small. I'm making a guess here, but would say it wasnt over 30 feet long.

a small, yellow, plain disk that hovered slowly moving down the back road.

I saw it in the middle of the day and it was sunny outside. I looked out the window, into my back yard, and saw something yellow moving from behind the trees above the back street. I thought it was some kind of yellow bird, so I watched it as it came into view. When it came out from behind the trees I saw that it was disk-like in shape, and from where I saw it looked about two-three feet wide. It was just plain light yellow with no special markings or lights or anything. It was hovering a little lower than the power line but not directly under it and it gradually moved up higher above the power line. It moved slowly from the left to the right of my view, lightly bobbing up and down as moved. I watched it disappear behind more trees. My dad, my grandma, and other people in my family have all claimed that they've seen UFO's. I'm pretty sure I was the only one that saw it. I was about 10 or 11 years old.

Early this morning(november 3) my two young daughters aged 5 and 8, along with their friend(9) and my girlfriend(26)woke meto explain to me what they had witnessed just hours ago in the early hours of saturday november 3rd. It unfolded like this: At 2am of november third my oldest daughter and her friend were awaked by a very loud sound, described to me to sound like a rocket leaving the earths atmosphere(lot of thrust), upon looking out the window, which faces west and is right alongside bed, she saw over the trees of our property a rocket shaped craft speeding toward the sky at a reasonably high rate of speed and holding a steady course up. She then awaked her friend who was sharing the bed with her, as well as my girlfriend laying a bed away, to look out the window at the rocket ship ripping through the sky. The window is on the second floor and faces west. The visibility of the area of sky, from top of trees on property to highest visible point of sky is ample as the trees are low and the windows high.

Note: this morning i had both my daughter and her friend both seperately draw what they had seen and they were exactly the same. Also, my girlfriend cooborated the intense rumbling at the time of the sighting, so i know the children weren't fantasizing/dreaming/playing.

Description: A perfect rocket shaped craft, long(vertically) shape with a conical tip. 2 to 4 unblinking yellow lights sat at the top area of the craft and did not flash or otherwise blink in such a way the FAA would require of an aircraft. They also described the presence of intense flames shooting from the rear, in true rocket fashion, as well as the possibility of some sort of window(s) along the lateral side of the craft. Lights were also seen at the bottom portion of the craft above the exhaust area. As it moved skyward it created a contrail of either smoke or steam.

The entire sighting may have lasted no more than a couple minutes, long enough for it to appear over the treeline until it was no longer visible from the window.

Not being a scientist or otherwise, i immediately assumed it was a launch of some type of rocket or military type craft headed for the great void. This after some thinking didn't sit well with me or make any sense for the following reasons. First off there is no known base in this immediate area, the description of the size was that of a large house, this coupledwith the level of detail they described led me to believe it was much closer than any launch from neighboring states etc. Also, my girlfriend, whom never turned to look at it as she was tired, described a dopplereffect. The sound she said began as a low rumble and peaked so loud she believed whatever it was would crash into the house, so it was close. The sound was that of a space shuttle launch on takeoff and not the whine of a passenger jet turbine. The most dramatic feat in question is that of it changind direction i.e altering its course in a marked fashion by turning about 45 degrees and keeping a course more or less straight up.

Anyway, first thing after hearing this i phoned the local police station and was promptly accused of making a crank call. I spoke in length with the desk sargeant about this and he soon realized it was no joke an listened. He claimed no one els\e reported the event after checking through the nights log and so on. I also asked him whom i should call to report the event and claimed he didn't know and furthermore there was no reason to as any military activity would have beed reported to them beforehand, which it wasn't.

Could you please contact me with any information regarding this event, military rocket activity, etc.? And did anyone else see this in the north jerresy area? I thought maybe it was a Vandenburg rocket launch, but whywould it be so close and so lowhere in new jersey?! thanx and please contact me when you can

Rectangular Object In Virginia Sky

Tonight at 8:43 EDT I observed a rectangular object traveling from east to west approximately 10 miles south of Richmond, Va. at approximately 10 to 20 thousand feet. The object was traveling at a speed that would equal, but not exceed that of a commercial airliner. What caught my attention was the fact that the object had atleast 10-12 white lights and 2 red rotating beacons located both fore and aft of the object. I happened to be looking at the moon at the time with a set of binoculars that I had just cleaned, so I was able to zero in on the object. Most commercial airline traffic that crosses this particular airspace does so in a south to north path at approx. 35,000 ft. Local air travel to the Chesterfield County Airport crosses my property from east to west, but does so at altitudes of approx. 500ft. on approach. Chesterfield handles small private aircratft as well as some business jets.

Two orange orbs flying around for 6 hours

I was about 13 at the time messing around in the yard around 7 that evening. It was getting dark when I saw through our trees a bright orange orb about as big as a car. I stopped and watched it when another appeared kind of floating around. I stood and watched them for what I thought was a minute at least and felt faint like I just woke up in the morning then they went away quick. I went back up to the house to my parents freaking out asking where I had been. I asked what do you mean I've been in the yard, it was 1 in the morning. They looked everywhere for me. I'm 35 now and only a few have I told this to. To this day, I still have nightmares about this .

Seven UFO's zigzagging in formation across the night sky

I was working as a ((deleted--employee)) in a ((deleted name)) building on the Dover/Chester road outside Chester, NJ.

I was on my own doing ((deleted)) outside the building when I came back and happened to look up in the sky. It was a very clear night, no clouds and cold.

I saw these circles high up in the sky (I would estimate the altitude to be higher than where airplanes fly). They were zigzagging across the sky from a direction north to south (from the Dover, NJ direction toward Chester, NJ) in formation. It was the strangest thing I ever saw or I believe I will ever see.

I stood there not believing what I was seeing and it was about 3 to 4 minutes that I stood there watching this. The only thing I regret was that I didn't call back to our base in Morristown saying what I was seeing since I had a walkie talkie with me. I reported this on the nuforc.org site.

To this day I believe they were UFO's since it couldn't have been comets or asteroids and I don't think they were military craft of any sort doing these strange manuevers at night that high up in the night sky.&

6 chevron shaped objects seen in the daytime sky doing "loop-de-loops" at high altitude

I was around 15 years old at the time (very good eye vision at the time too), and was riding my dirt bike. I stopped on a hill by the town's water tower to take a look at the town below. It was a clear day, with a brilliant blue sky.

I glanzed upward and noticed what i thought were birds flying in single file. I did a double take, and realized these objects were manufactured, but were following each other in "loop-de-loop" motions.

They were confined to a small area of the sky (about 80 degrees from horizon in NE sky). 6 of them were triangle in shape and took on the appearance of silver, kind of like a Jet at a high altitude on a cold day.

As they did a loop , they disappeared out of sight.I could only figure they were going in & out of our atmosphere. Only did this for a minute or two , then they vanished.

Three bright star like objects moving across the night sky at the speed of light and stopping on a dime.

It was a chilly night in October, there wasn't a cloud in the sky that night. Living in the country there were no lights on or around, thee sky was full of stars. While I was laying on the hill on my front lawn staring up into the sky at the stars a super bright object that first appeared to be a shooting star shot across the night sky. This object had no tail trailing it and it stopped on a dime. It was very bright, larger and alot brighter than the north star. This object stood out among the stars and seemed to pulse a little bit. Seconds later two more shot across the sky one behind the other and stopped in the same location as the first light, it appeared to be in a triangular pattern. After a few seconds these super bright star like lights sstarted shooting across the sky as if the were following one another. The speed was incredible, they would move from the western portion of the sky to the eastern portion in a spilt second and each would stop on a dime. After a couple of minutes it appeared as if the came closer to the earth because they increased in size and the bright white light became more intence. After zipping around for a few minutes each object zipped off towards the eastern skyline following one another and vanished in a split second. I layed there for a couple of minutes to see if they would come back, they did, as fast as they disappeared that had returned. They were shooting all over the sky as if they were playing some kind of game, after a few more minutes they seemed to shoot off into space because they did not travel across the night sky the way they had been. Needless to some I tell the story to this day and people laugh about it.

Three white lights in equilateral triangle move across night sky, multiple witnesses, summer camping trip 1974.

On our annual family camping trip near Chester, California, my sister, my cousin and I would occasionally see what we thought were satellites floating across the night sky. It has always bothered me that I have never seen anything similar to these "satellites" since then. After stumbling upon an online account of "black triangles" I came to the realization that what we saw was probably NOT a satellite at all. In fact, I think is scientifically impossible for what we saw to be a satellite. So now, 38 years later, here is my belated report on the "three-star satellites" witnessed over the Potato Patch Campground near Chester, California in July/August of 1974.

I can remember it as if it were yesterday--one of those clear childhood memories that sticks with you in a very visual way. I remember talking about it with my sister as we lay there on our sleeping bags, looking up at the stars and wondering what those slowly moving triangle of stars were. We have talked about this as adults, though not in recent years.

The first time we saw them, it must have been between 9-10 PM, as it was fully dark and the stars were out. We were just lying there, looking up at the night sky when we saw what looked like stars formed in the shape of an equilateral triangle drifting overhead. There were three white lights, one in each corner of a triangle. I could not see any body or an edge to a triangle, just the three lights. What made them unusual is that they moved, and that they moved together in such a way that you knew they were physically connected. It must have been really high up, because the lights looked the same size as the stars, slightly bigger, but also slightly brighter than the stars. Anyways, it moved slowly against the other stars in what I think was a northern direction. The three unified lights would speed up then slow down along it's path and slowly turn or rotate around itself. The movement was very graceful, not at all like an airplane. It just looked like it was floating and spi! nning past us up there in the night sky. It seems like it took about 2 minutes before it went behind the trees.

I can remember seeing this at least twice for certain, and probably more like 3-5 times though I can't recall the exact instances of each. I do remember that it became commonplace for us to see these that summer. I remember that we would lay out and look for satellites, and we were successful several times. We were not all excited about the satellites. I am sure a shooting star would have been more exciting. We certainly didn't think we had seen a UFO. We just figured they were "three-star satellites" (that's what I called them) orbiting the earth. But, satellites don't speed up and slow down, and as far as I know satellites don't come in sets of three that move synchronously about at various speeds across the night sky. In retrospect, If it were indeed a satellite, then it would have had to be miles wide.

I have not mentioned this Black Triangle correlation to my sister. Though we have discussed the satellite sitings as adults, I have not discussed this with her in any detail within the last 10 or 15 years. It would be interesting if a third party could interview her to correlate the details of this story as I remember them.

My parents & I & my brother were walking to a resturant & we saw 4 flying objects flying in formation.

My father called out to two woman walking on the other sidewalk & they also saw them, but got very scared & left.

We watched for about 5min.

I was about 6 or 7, my brother about 5.

It was very strange, being so young & seeing that. We were on our way to Linton's resturant in Chester, Pa.
