Location: Roosevelt, MN, USA
Location details: northern Minnesota, close to the Canadian border

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

brightening and dimming light traveling across the sky in a large arc then disappearing.

First off let me state that I am an amateur astrophotographer / astronomer. I know the difference between things such as the ISS, meteors, satellites, planes and iridium flares. On the night of May 15th I had set up my telescope to take some pictures of the lunar eclipse. I was taking pictures every 10 minutes or so to see the progression of the lunar eclipse. Soon after the moon was is the earth's shadow the stars became much more visible. That is when I saw what at first I thought was the space station since that is about how bright it appeared. As I watched it I noticed that it was cycling in brightness (approximately 2-3 seconds from maximum brightness to minimum brightness). At first I thought it could be due to very small and light clouds coming across the sky that night but it was not random and continued with a repeating cycling pattern. Also it did not cross the sky in a straight line, it did a large arc from almost straight above me then to the east and then traveled back in a SE direction. The speed did not seem consistent either (it would speed up and almost seem to be stationary at times). When it got to a point in the eastern sky it brightened one last time and immediately disappeared. I tried to get the telescope on it but I don't think I changed the settings on my camera correctly to capture it (it was set up for the eclipse). I ran in the house fast to grab my phone to see if I could get a video of it. I began recording it but could not see the object on the screen so I stopped recording. Later I checked my phone and I must have just caught it on video for maybe a second. Due to it being a screen grab of the video (or my camera moving) it appeared as a streak. You could see on the paused video that is was appeared to be a square object with lights on the corners and maybe one light in the middle of each side. I went to bed that night thinking when I woke up that I hear about it in the morning on Facebook or somewhere on the internet due to the fact that it was during the lunar eclipse and a lot of people would have been looking in the sky at this exact time, but no, nothing. I also thought maybe it was an prank with a drone but I don't think it could travel the distance it did in the short 2-3 minutes it was visible. I kept trying to explain it away but could not.

Red shiny globe making manuevers in Southern sky over Oregon being seen from Washington.

This can be seen from here, but, it is in the southern sky and looks to be over in Oregon. I saw it moving side to side then drop down lower and come back up, it is reddish and bright.

Called my husband to come see it and without me telling him what it was doing, he said, "you mean that red light that's going up and down and moving," now 22:07 and went out to see if still there.

It has dropped lower in sky and is now making maneuvers like a bee going from flower to flower!! It is too far away for a photograph. A plane could not move like this object is doing.

We are retired, middle class people.

UFO caught on tape

I was visiting my family for the holiday. My cousin, Uncle and I were talking I looked up in the sky and seen a bright light. I asked my cousin and uncle if they were seeing what I was seeing and they confirmed what I was seeing. We watched for a little while and then I told my Uncle to go get the camcorder. When he got the camcorder he started to record the object. The object would move in different directions, change color and size and pulsate it was amazing we have footage!!!! NO JOKE!!!!!!!!

UFO sighting on Long Island, the night of the blackout.

It was bewtween 5 and 8pm, the night of the blackout, on Long Island, I saw a low flying formation of white and orange lights. I thought it was another type of popular aircraft that I'd seen before but it was too low, extremely slow moving and very quiet. Being that there was no noise outside, that was obvious.I couldn't make out a shape at all. Then it disappeared behind a group of trees.

Occurred: 1987-12-04 22:18 Local

Location: Roosevelt, AZ, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

One light, then 2 lights west of Roosevelt, AZ observed by 2 adults camping.

We were looking west while camping east of Tortilla Flat. While we were observing the stars we saw a single red light lasting about 10 seconds. After a minute of staring in the same area, we saw a commercial airliner going south to north and all of a sudden 2 red lights showed up. In perspective, the lights were as large as the commercial jet. With my hand extended, they looked to be about 12 inches apart (from our vantage point). I am not sure how far away from us they were as it was night time.

They stayed in one position horizontally for about 10 seconds, then the southern one went up and the northern one went down, slowly at first, then quickly. They both then disappeared and we didn't see any additional lights over the next hour or so. The one that went upward seemed to moved extremely rapidly the other not so fast. We were both in disbelief and asked each other if that just happened.

I searched an have not found any similar incidents online. We were just merely out camping and saw these lights. We are both professional adults.

Here is a link to the google maps link approximately where we were camping:

NUFORC UFO Sighting 172016
Occurred: 1973-07-19 22:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2022-09-24 17:35 Pacific
Duration: Maybe 5 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Roosevelt, NJ, USA
Location details: Quiet Lake outside of town in woods. Just trees, no houses nearby

Shape: Unknown


Craft appeared out of nowhere, was totally silent, no noise. Hovered at treetops maybe 75 yards away from us.

This was likely in the warmer months of either 1973 or 1974. A friend and I went to the lake outside town one night. We took our bicycles, so I know it was before I was driving which is at 17 in NJ. We were out at night, not all bundled up, so that would make it warm enough for us to be outside for a while. Don't recall the exact month.

It happened at the lake outside of the town of Roosevelt. Roosevelt is not far from Ft. Dix, McGuire AFB, Lakehurst Naval Station, so throughout my life, we always saw numerous planes and helicopters, and all type of aircraft. They were a regular sight. So could this have been something from one of the bases? Always a possibility, who knows.

Anyway, this particular night we took our bikes up to the lake outside town. It had an embankment which surrounded parts of the lake and we would lie down on it and watch the lake and stars. It was something the teenagers did.

On this night, all of a sudden there was an object hovering at treetop level maybe 75 yards from us. At first, I thought it might be a helicopter (it was about that size), however it made no noise. Absolutely 100% silent. Further, helicopters you can see and hear approaching from a long way off. We didn't see or hear it approaching. To the best of my recollection, the object was just there at treetop level when we looked. Just hovering, no noise. Again, don't recall seeing it coming or how it got there.

As we watched the object, the situation became odder and odder. Realizing it wasn't a plane or helicopter, I was wondering how did it just get there and why was it just hovering, silently at treetop level? And not just for a second or two, it was hovering for a period of time. And as more time went by, the more I didn't understand what this was settling in. The more frightened I became. It was there for a while, not sure of time, but definitely more than just seconds, it was minutes.

I remember eventually being so scared and trying to scrunch down as close to the ground and as low as possible. I also remember thinking as this went on, how much I just wanted to crawl under the ground and disappear, be hidden/invisible. I was really afraid. The person I was with and I did not speak at all. We were laying maybe 1-2 feet apart, watching this thing, but we didn't say a word. We were silent. We got as close into the ground as we could and tried to be invisible. This lasted a few minutes, maybe 1-2, certainly guessing less than 5, but hard to tell exactly.

Looking at the object, I don't recall seeing lights, or even an exact shape. As I said, it seemed at first that maybe it was about the size of a helicopter, and we could see it, but I don't recall an actual shape or lights. And it just silently hovered there.
It appeared suddenly, don't recall seeing it coming, it was just there. How it got there, don't know. Hovered there silently for a few minutes, and then it was just gone. Again, it wasn't like I saw it leave, or it went a route off I followed, it just wasn't there anymore and I'm not sure how that happened. I was staring at it like laser beams. I was panicked and scared out of my mind. But even with that, I have no recollection of it leaving. It was as though all of a sudden, I sort of woke up or regained awareness, and it was gone. I don't feel like there was missing time, or if there was but a very short amount. Just always couldn't remember how I was staring at it so intently, and then it was just gone without me seeing it leave.
However, once it was gone, all the fright basically left me. It was kind of like I was normal again. Just thinking what was that? My friend and I looked at each other and agreed we should get on our bikes and leave which we did.

Odd thing also is that my friend and I never once spoke about this. We never asked each other "what did you see? What was that?" We never said a word to each other about it, and we both lived in town, saw each other. That also always struck me as very odd. I've often thought over the years of contacting her and seeing what if anything she saw and remembers. Just has never happened. I told this story to another friend recently and she was like you have to tell this story, you have to get it out there.

Anyway, I was about 15 or 16 when this occurred. No idea what I saw, but it's remained a story of mine for my entire life. I don't think there was any abduction, pretty sure of that, and I don't recall any other UFO incidents in my life. This was the only one as far as I know. Also, I don't think there was any missing time, though how the UFO was just gone with me not seeing it leave, yet watching it so intently, has always struck me as a bit odd as well.
