Weird sighting in woods

so last week, i was hiking in the woods near my house. it was getting close to dark, and i was just walking when i saw something strange in the sky. at first, i thought it might be a drone or a plane, but the way it was moving was unlike anything i’ve seen before. it was darting around, changing directions super fast, in a way no plane or drone could. then, it stopped in midair, hovered for a second, and shot off at an insane speed, faster than i thought possible. there was no noise at all. i even thought it might have been a helicopter, but there was no sound. after that, it just disappeared behind the trees. i stood there, staring at the spot, completely freaked out.

when i looked at my phone to check the time, i realized a full 30 minutes had passed and i couldn’t remember where that time went. it was like i had lost track of time completely, and i couldn’t figure out what happened in those missing minutes. i started freaking out and thought maybe i was just imagining things, but i didn’t want to tell my parents because i’m 15, and i knew they’d probably think i was just being dramatic or making it up. so, i decided to look up if anyone else had seen anything like it. i did some research online, and when i looked up reports of weird sightings, it said if you see something like this, you should report it. so, here i am, reporting it. it might sound crazy, but i know what i saw, and it wasn’t normal. now i can’t stop thinking about it, and i don’t know what to make of it.

The disk was not flat but horizontal and traveling very slowly under the clouds for a few seconds than disappeared immediately.

The background was sunny and a few clouds in the background. The object was a silver disk standing up but moving west to east in a slow but steady pattern. It disappeared after moving west to east for a few seconds. There were no clouds near it. I thought it could be a reflection but there was clearly an object.

Stationary white light connected to some unmoving dark object

As me and my wife were pulling out of an auto parts store located on Lexington Ave across from Logan Rd in Mansfield, I spotted what I thought was a plane coming towards us from a northeast direction. As we proceeded, I noticed this "plane" was not moving. So I figured it was coming straight in our direction because this usually will give the illusion of non movement. However, as I drove down Logan Rd, probably a quarter mile there was still no change in direction of the object. We then proceeded down s hill and lost view of the object behind trees to our east northest. When I continued driving going back uphill, the object was no longer visible anywhere.

Red and white pulsating/flashing light in the sky to the northwest that remained stationary for at least 10 minutes.

At first we thought the light was just a plane and didn't think much of it, because the flashing red-white nature mimicked a commercial plane's lights. Then we noticed it was completely stationary in the sky. It remained completely stationary for at least 10 minutes. We also noticed it would occasionally "disappear" from view before "re-emerging" despite it being a completely clear and cloudless night.

Characteristics: Changed Colo

Sky siting, about 40kft., had left & right stubby fins close to the back, silent, no trail.

At 5:39PM on April 16, 2025 I was in the backyard pruning a pear tree; so I was looking up a lot. Clear day, lots of blue sky, barely any clouds. As I looked up I saw what I thought to be a strange bug flying. It was very strange in that it:
- was flying very straight and had zero side to side or up or down movement
- Flew very still
- Seemed perfectly cylindrical with 2 stubby fins in the near back, one on the left and one on the right.
- Was iridescent/white

I originally thought it to be a bug because I thought it was much closer than it actually was due to my depth perception being off because I’d been focusing a lot on the tree I was pruning. Also, it’s early spring so a bug flying around would be normal. It came from 326 degrees NW (40°32'32" N 81°6'30" W), then turned at 55 degrees NE (40°32'32" N 81°6'30" W), & then headed at 164 degrees SW (40°32'32" N 81°6'30" W). When it started turning (around the 55 degree direction mark) I finally realized it was no bug and it was a lot higher than I figured; around the height that a jet flies. As it headed off to the SW direction, I also noticed it made no sound and left no trail. Jetliners had been flying earlier and they made sound and left temporary trails. The whole event took about a minute and a half to two minutes. After that minute and a half to two minutes, I couldn’t see it anymore.

Noticed a bring colorful light. Once I focused on it with a camera I saw multiple points of light and an energetic haze.

On Tuesday, March 25, 2025, at 11:12 PM, I was in Toledo, Ohio, looking southwest when I noticed a bright colorful light in the sky that seemed to flicker rapidly. Using my phone camera, I saw it change colors quickly and it had at least four isolated points of light surrounded by an energized haze having complex movement without a consistent shape. The object moved slowly westward and I watched it under clear conditions until I went to bed at 12:30 AM, when it was still visible in the distance after over an hour of observation.

My wife and I were looking at the lunar eclipse when we seen two lights zigzagging across the nights sky

While looking at the lunar eclipse at 3:40am March 14th my wife and I saw what we at first thought was a shooting star. It was fast like a shooting star but there were two lights and when they shot across the night sky they were not going in a straight line. The first light zigzagged and the other one followed it. It reminded me of watching two birds chasing each other in the sky. I’m glad my wife seen it too because it happened in a few seconds and if it was not for the fact that there were two and they zigzagged following each other I would have thought it was a meteorite because it was going so fast.

As I approached my driveway, I looked to the north west and witnessed a black object in the sky

At 1:20 PM this afternoon, I looked at northwest and noticed in the sky a black object that was traveling slightly to my right as I watched it. I pulled out my camera and took a couple photos within 15 to 20 seconds it started to turn and drift to the left at that time. I switched over to video the shape just changed quite often and the video needs to be observed to understand what I’m talking about. I’m extremely mechanical. I have not witnessed something like this before. It was silent as silent could be I would say roughly a half mile from my location.

Round silver object sitting in a cloud

My granddaughter and I were driving north I believe on the road adjacent to i-75 from Bluffton Ohio to Findlay Ohio. I can't remember the exact name of the highway. But I was about 3 mi or less from Findlay and I had looked up because something shiny and round had caught my eye. It almost looks like aluminum foil large round shaped object. I stared at it for about 10 seconds and tapped my granddaughter to look. And then I literally watched it drop like a heavy sack of potatoes down. I'm not sure if it actually fell or landed anywhere...

Because driving into Findley you're seeing buildings houses and etc. I was expecting a possible explosion after it dropped... Maybe red flames or something... But nothing exploded. At first I thought maybe it could have been an airplane that just dropped from the sky. But it was definitely a more round object. I'm going to say visually it was approximately a mile or more into the sky away. But if I had to guess the size from that distance, it was the size of an automobile.

Triangular craft spotted in ohio

I stare at the sky often, and normally I don't see the stars moving, nothing else in the sky was moving but three what looked to be stars in a triangle shape moving in unison coming towards my way I was going north. they were heading from north to south, the one at the front was a gold color and the two behind it were a white color it was moving pretty slow until it got about overhead, and then it just immediately just disappeared like nothing was there to begin with, I felt really nauseated really sick to my stomach like I wasn't supposed to be there, my boyfriend summed it up as Chinese lanterns because it is the new year, yet we have released lanterns before and those definitely were not lanterns, we have seen drones before and those definitely were not drones and it was too triangular and moving and synchronization for it to be a army plane set or a drone of sort, there was no noise but everything in the vicinity was super quiet and when it just appeared it was like one flicker of light from all three of the lights that blinked at the same time on the craft and then it just disappeared. Like if the power was immediately cut off.

If it is something that can be explained please let me know as I am somebody who does not believe in UFOs or aliens in general. but this was very unexplainable, even if it wasn't a UFO spacecraft at least make me aware because one other person has seen this too and they were pretty nerve-racked about it so if I could ease their nerves that would be great. Thank you for your time.

On Jan 28th, 2025, I witnessed a silent, low-flying UFO with complex lights & turns that didn’t match C-17 flight data.

On the evening of January 28th, 2025, I witnessed an unidentified flying object that has left me questioning what I actually saw. The object in question seemed to be a large, silent craft performing a maneuver that did not resemble anything I’ve seen before, and based on my observations, I believe it qualifies as a UFO. Afterward, I checked flight tracking apps like FlightRadar24 and ADS-B Exchange, which indicated a C-17 flying near my neighborhood at the same time. However, when I compared the reported flight path and altitude with what I saw, it became immediately clear that the two did not align. This discrepancy has led me to wonder whether I was witnessing something far more unusual than a typical military transport airplane.

I first noticed the object at approximately 20:47 in the evening. My mother and I were out in the neighborhood, taking a stroll and looking for drones. There has been a surge in sightings of drones across the country, flying in coordinated patterns at night, often with blinking white and red lights—similar to what I initially thought I was seeing. As the object appeared over the treeline, it displayed these familiar drone-like lights: three white lights and a blinking red tail light. I immediately assumed it was just a low-flying drone. However, as the object got closer, it quickly became clear that its size was much larger than the drones we had been witnessing, and the lights on the object became more complex.

The object made a U-turn, almost a V-shaped turn, and while I did not observe any significant altitude changes, it was clear that it was flying at an extremely low altitude for an object of its size—likely below 1,000 feet, much lower than what the flight tracking apps suggested for the C-17 at 3,250 feet. The UFO appeared to be much closer to the ground than the reported data indicated, which further adds to the mystery of what I was witnessing.

As the object flew over my neighborhood, I started to notice more lights on it. I could clearly count at least six lights: two red lights, a solid white light underneath the belly, a bright white light on the front, a white wing light, a blinking red tail light, and a red blinking light in the middle of the object. The longer I watched the object, the more lights became visible. About 10 seconds later, when the object passed the treeline at the other side of my neighborhood, I could clearly see 9-10 lights on the object, confirming that it was far more complex than just a simple drone.

Another unusual aspect of the object was the complete lack of noise. Despite being a large object, likely around the size of a C-17, it was silent as it made its turn, and I did not hear any jet engine noise. In any normal circumstance, I would expect to hear something from a plane like the C-17, even if it were at 3,250 feet, but there was no sound at all. C-17’s fly over where I work all of the time, and the noise shakes the whole building. It baffles me that such a large object could not make any noise, given its low altitude. This quietness, along with its strange maneuvers, leads me to believe that it might not be the C-17 after all, despite what the flight data suggests.

When I checked FlightRadar24 and ADS-B Exchange, I found that a C-17 was indeed in the area during the time of my sighting. However, the data showed it flying at 3,250 feet and following a path that did not match the turn or the low altitude that I observed. The C-17 was reported to be approximately a mile away from my neighborhood, but the timing of its flight closely matched the sighting. This discrepancy raises further questions. Was the C-17 the object I saw, or was there something else in the sky at that time? The flight data for the C-17 could have been either inaccurate or deliberately altered, as I have heard that military aircraft can mask their flight data for various reasons. The ADS-B data showed high accuracy in the system’s reporting, with metrics of NACP: EPU < 10 m, SIL: ≤ 1e-7 per flight hour, and NACV: < 3 m/s, suggesting reliable positional and velocity data for the C-17. However, the reported altitude and flight path did not align with my visual observations, indicating potential discrepancies that are still unexplained.

One theory I considered is that the C-17 might have been a decoy aircraft for another experimental aircraft. The object I saw could have been a military or experimental UFO, with the C-17 flying at a higher altitude and masking the real operation. The possibility that I was witnessing two aircraft operating in tandem—with one craft performing the U-shaped maneuver while the other remained farther away—seems plausible, given the discrepancies in the flight data and the odd nature of the sighting.

After reflecting on what I witnessed and the information I have gathered, I’m left with the conclusion that what I saw that night was most likely a UFO. The strange lights, the lack of noise, and the flight behavior don’t match anything I’ve seen before, and the C-17’s flight data did not align with my observations. Whether it was part of a military operation or something experimental, I can’t say for certain, but the object I witnessed remains unidentified. I do not understand why there would be a military operation near my neighborhood though, because I live close to an hour away from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

I have attached 3 different videos. I recorded one of the videos on my Iphone 14 Pro, and I recorded it in 4k 24fps. You will hear me running and panting, this is because I had chased the object to try to get closer to it, before it flew over the treeline again. The last two are from my neighbor and my Mother.

My grandfather is a soldier in the Air-force with 30+ years of experience, and he tells me this does not look anything like a C-17, and he has no idea what it is. I trust his opinion, and I believe what I witnessed that night was a UFO. I hope I have made my thought process understandable, and how I have come to this conclusion. I have no intent to deceive anyone, and I have tried my best to write down exactly what I witnessed.

NUFORC Note:

Likely the C-17 mentioned. Light pattern matched a C-17.

Object became illuminated

As I was driving, an object suddenly appeared out of thin air above me. It was illuminated in green and circled around something—whatever it was. The green illumination started at the 6 o’clock position and moved around the object until it reached 6 o’clock again, at which point it turned red. However, unlike the green light, the red didn’t move around the object—it remained underneath while the green illumination stayed all the way around.

The object seemed to phase in and out of our dimension, then suddenly accelerated at an incredibly fast speed. In an instant, it either vanished into another dimension or left Ohio in the blink of an eye. I couldn’t determine its shape, only the illumination. At first, I almost thought it was a drone, but it didn’t flash like one. The green color resembled the glow of the Northern Lights.

It appeared and disappeared so fast—one second it was there, and in a blink, it was gone. Someone was driving behind me, and I hope they saw it too—unless they were distracted on their phone.

Explanation: Drone - Possible


At 10:40 AM EST, I saw a metallic, X-shaped object in the sky. No planes were on radar, confirming it wasn’t a conventional aircraft.

At approximately 10:40 AM EST (15:40 UTC), while driving south on I-68 and approaching an exit, I noticed a peculiar metallic object in the sky at my 2 o’clock position, about 60 degrees above the horizon. Initially, it appeared to be a metallic airplane, but as I continued driving, I realized it was too small to be a plane and had an "X" cross shape. Due to my speed of 70 MPH, I only observed the object for about a minute and couldn’t analyze its shape in detail. The object had an unusually intense metallic shine, more like a reflective mirror than any airplane I’ve seen. It appeared to be about the size of a car and was at least 300 feet in the sky.

Additionally, I used a flight radar with playback to check for any aircraft in the area at the time of my sighting. The radar, which displays time in UTC (showing 15:40 UTC for my sighting), indicated that there were no planes in the location where I saw the object. This further strengthens the likelihood that what I witnessed was not a conventional aircraft.

I will include a map of where I believe the object was located, as well as my best representation of the object drawn out. I wish I had a video of the object, but again I was driving when I witnessed it.

Possible drones but do not know why there are so many or why they are out every night.

I think these are drones, but they are often out every night. I do not see them in the day time. They have multi colored lights like blue and red. It doesn't appear to be a helicopter because a helicopter would not hover all night long. They are pretty high up, but I can see the lights when I look at them through the binoculars. I reported this to law enforcement, but they did not call me back to state what they found. They go up and down, and they will shift positions to the other side of the house.

I used to scoff at UFO believers. Tonight I saw my first UFO. I saw dim blue flashing lights on a disk just hovering around the highway

I am in complete shock and awe. I saw a blue disk hovering around route 77 just north of route 271 interchange. I was headed south from Cleveland to Akron. I was driving when I saw something strange in the sky. Blue disk, flashing dim blue lights. It was just hovering there. I am in disbelief. But at the same time I know what I saw. Eventually as I slowed on the highway the blue light disappeared. Maybe it became aware it was being watched. I watched it from my vehicle for around 5 minutes. I used to think UFO people were ridiculous; now I’m a believer.

Massive unknown outline of changing lights & shape appeared in view of security camera growing more solid for over an hour.

Around 4am on January 24, 2025 a faint light started to come into view of the screen, look to the far right side at the center around the only 3 bright stars farthest right/center screen, as it got brighter and more solid the size seems to be very massive, which without good enhancement capability I'm unable to see the full line. It stayed in the same place until the earth rotated out of view, shortly over an hour. Zooming in and making the video brighter the are bright dots that seem to disconnect and stretch down/outward from the top points as the video plays on. There seems to be a large amount of red colors as well as white and some green. The sky was very clear and dark that night and very little if any airplanes were in the sky at the time. I have never in my life seen anything like this, ever! The videos are recorded with Reolink E1 Outdoor CX that I received as a gift to go with my Reolink home system so I would have a camera fixed on the night sky while I am sleeping or it's too cold. I want to add the photo attached is has been enhanced to show the exact location of the object and it's shape, there was nothing added or removed from any images and footage (I don't know how to do that). I do have all original quality photos and videos saved as well. The form would not let me upload the full size videos so I included a short zoomed 5 min 30 second video clip. I would be happy to send the full length videos at request. Thank You!

was driving north on I270 and through my front windshield me and 2 other coworkers saw a very bright light in the sky. as the driver the object was on the far left of my windshield and had exited the view of my windshield in about 10 seconds. it appeared at least 8-10 times faster than an airplane. as the object continued east for another 5-10 seconds it disappeared from our sight. It's possible it went into cloud cover when it disappeared, but we did not see any clouds. I checked the flight data from this morning from that area and confirmed there was no known craft in the area. This was not a satellite, or star link, or another planet.

Then the light just disappeared. It seemed to be spinning in like a clockwise motion. No sound emitting. Just a feeling of being watched. I looked around afterwards and I saw a normal airliner and constellations.

I looked outside to see if it was snowing, noticed large bright light high in the southern sky. Watched for about 15 minutes it never moved so I started taking pictures. Called a neighbor he also took pictures and went out looking for it, he saw about 10. After about 30 minutes still stationary and it just disappeared. No trail and no sound. 30 miles away, Portsmouth Ohio 5,000 acres of Lithium plant, maybe something was watching it.

A triangle shaped craft about the size of a 727 flew over I70 just north of Dayton, OH at 3:20am this morning. It was very low, ~800' high. The pointed end was trailing and the flat edge was leading. Speed was ~100mph. At first I didn't think much of it but as I got closer and could make out the shape, it was very unconventional for an aircraft. Was hoping to see other reports of it on here as it's a fairly populated area.

“Drones,” spotted hovering over and around home.

That evening my partner and I were watching a movie when she noticed out of the window a craft approaching from the west and headed east in a straight line. The craft had been what appeared to be hovering for a few minutes before it started moving in our direction. We noticed red and green lights on the craft, and as it got closer over our home we ran outside, and watched as it flew over head very slowly. The craft made zero noise whatsoever, and we collaborated with flight tracker to confirm it was not a registered aircraft at that time. The craft was about a few hundred feet up, and flew east, straight line, no deviation. About 4 days later we noticed 2 more crafts in the distance intersecting each other, one moving north, the other south. I believe what we saw was apart of the, “drones,” that have been spotted all over america the past few months. Again, the craft that flew over ahead had zero noise or motor sounds. The craft was very large, determined by the space inbetween the blinking green and red lights, but was moving much slower than a standard aircraft.

Formation was box almost, than went into a v formation heading towards Sagittarius

I was meditating in my head for some guidance and coincidently asking for a sign, chanted a quick mantra. Looked up into the sky. I was scanning the sky looking to the north. All of sudden I seen something emerging at first looked like a box formation. Almost like one craft. Appeared at first in my thought to be an Air Force plane with no lights on as it was moving in the sky my focus became better and the objects were white orb like objects went into a v formation heading towards Sagittarius quickly went out of sight. These were flying faster than any human aircraft could ever fly. I’m not sure as to how many there were for sure because it happened so quickly. And I was taken completely off guard. But it was 5,6 or maybe even 7 orb like white objects. When I first noticed them they were dim white than when they went into a v formation the white became a little brighter. Than they were gone.

Was on its side flying straight line extremely fast and as loud as a plane. Had 4 lights on it. At first I thought it was a plane until it got closer and I saw the shape and how fast it was going. It was very dark out I couldn’t see the total shape but it definitely had more body to it than any drone I’ve seen. Could have been a drone because it had 4 lights but really can’t say 100%. It was boxy like a triangle or diamond shape. Not round. I immediately checked the flight radar and nothing showed up.

Bright light circle that moved slightly every once in awhile then dimmed a few times during this then abruptly disappeared

I woke up to see what I thought was a star or space station located lower in sky than other stars or even airplanes. On many occasions I saw the object move to the left or right, slowly and not a great distance. The light would dim every now and then, return back to its original brightness. One time, there were about 6 lights, circular and smaller than the main object, that arched above it. It then dimmed for a moment then disappeared by becoming unlit. I observed this out my bedroom window. It was above the treeline of a wooded area a few miles from my home. I live in a rural area where there aren’t many homes.

2 were very high up like a satellite but was moving oddly & 2 were low & hovering/moving slowly.

A strange quiet plane flew over very low getting my attention on the sky. Then noticed 2 lights very high similar to satellites moving towards each other. Then the lights stopped moving for a bit. As I was staring at them they started moving oddly unlike any satellite I’ve ever seen. Then one started moving north. As it was moving the light got very bright briefly. Almost like a spotlight. I then turned towards the southwest sky and saw one bright white light hovering/moving very slowly east and it was lower like a small plane might fly but it did not move like a plane.

After a few minutes a bright reddish orange light just appeared near the white light. It hovered and had minimal movement. After watching a few minutes I lost track of the white light and the red light disappeared. I looked towards the southeast and saw that the white light appeared again. It moved very slowly towards the northeast and I lost track of it as it went low behind the tree line. None of these lights moved like any aircraft I’ve ever seen. The two lower crafts could have possibly been drones as they moved slowly.

I witnessed at least 15 large drones with flashing lights flying in coordinated patterns at night, some appearing to spray substances.

During the nights of December 17th and the 28th, I documented at least 15 large drones flying over my neighborhood sky. Each drone was equipped with flashing lights on their wings and a white light at the front, with some also featuring a white light on their tail. Due to the observations occurring at night, the body of the drones was not visible. However, based on the positioning of the lights, I assume the drones to have a somewhat rectangular-shaped structure. Based on their dimensions, I estimate the size of these drones to be approximately that of a car.

The drones exhibited coordinated flight patterns, moving in multiple directions across the sky. Their lights—red, white, green, and occasionally blue—appeared to facilitate communication between the drones, as evidenced in video recordings where multiple drones can be seen interacting. Additionally, some of the drones appeared to discharge a substance into the atmosphere, a detail clearly visible in the accompanying video evidence.

To support this report, I have chronologically dated the video recordings and compiled them into a single video for convenience. This compilation clearly shows the patterns of movement, the communication-like behavior of the lights, and instances where certain drones appear to spray a substance into the sky. I took all of the videos on my iPhone 14 Pro. Additionally, I have added a photo highlighting a trail left after a drone sprayed a substance into the sky.

It is worth noting that these drones have been observed on several occasions, underscoring the need for further investigation into their purpose and operations.

Unlit crescent moon shaped craft flying over very loud airplane sound and orbs that looked like mini shooting stars flying from craft

I was at my home in Canfield Ohio and kept hearing what sounded like low flying loud airplanes flying overhead. It kept happening repeatedly from midnight on. So finally around 2:30 am after hearing this numerous times, I decided to go outside and see what was happening. I turned off all of my property’s exterior lights so I could see better and took a 13,000 lumen flashlight with me. I kept hearing the craft flying over and that’s when I noticed a crescent moon shaped craft flying overhead with no lights on it and what appeared to be mini shooting stars quickly shooting out of it and going in multiple random directions. I used my phone to look up if there was a meteor shower because I kept seeing these orbs shooting around and could hear the louder crescent shaped craft flying even though they were difficult to spot with no marker lights visible. I then witnessed some actual shooting stars from the meteor shower and they were noticeably different as they were larger and obviously more distant. I heard someone in New Jersey report the same exact incident around the same time. He made a post on Reddit about it. There’s obviously something very weird happening here.

Huge bright light in the sky diving down.

I was outside walking my dog and turned towards the north and saw a huge bright light in the night sky. The light was going almost straight down very fast. I stood there for about 30 seconds waiting to hear a sonic boom or crash sound but there wasn't any noise. I'm not exactly sure how far away it was from me but it was off in the distance maybe a couple or few miles away. As fast as it was going it had to have hit Lake Erie or the ground. I've never seen anything like that before.

I was looking out in back yard and looked up at the sky.

As I watched it I saw a red trail behind it. I think it was just seeing the trail of it as it was moving fast. As it went to the tree line about 49 feet up I saw the trail zig zagging and the red orb looked like it broke up in tiny orbs right before the tree and just vanished like it was never there.

A black triangular craft with three lights on each corner was hovering & slightly rotating in the clouds.

I was driving across the bridge over the Miami River to go home and noticed three orb like lights in a triangle formation. I realized they were attached to a craft that was so black it was almost invisible. It was hovering over the river but rotating slowly but noticeably. The craft seemed to be hovering in the clouds. I was driving with no way to safely record and therefore only witnessed it for maybe 5 minutes. It hovered & rotated that entire 5 minutes.

Triangle shaped UFO (2 witnesses)

I want to report a sighting of a triangle shaped UFO that my 12 year old daughter and I both just saw in Wadsworth, Ohio. It had three lights on it and I would guess it to be about 10 feet wide. It was hovering over a house as we were driving home from my daughter’s dance class. I jokingly said “there’s a UFO” and then we realized that it actually was. It turned away to the right and I quickly turned the car onto State street to follow it and as soon as I was around the turn it made a half spin and shot off into the distance. It was completely out of sight in about two seconds. Did I mention I was a skeptic until this? It was cool and scary at the same time.

Pulsating, color changing anomaly that looked like 2 worms dancing

Around 5am I was looking out my window because I could not sleep well. I was observing Jupiter and Orion and other constellations like Taurus. just to the left of Orion I noticed what at first appeared to be an airplane, because I saw flashing and pulsing. However, It was not moving so I eliminated that possibility.

To my naked eye it appeared to be pulsating various different colors so I thought it could possibly be a star but the pulsations and colors were very noticeable. Alot more noticeable than the glimmering stars I've seen before. So I set up my telescope to look at it closer and what I saw was 2 very bright, very sharp, color pulsing tendrils. They were slithering in an S-shaped movement. They almost looked like 2 bolts of lightening, snaking and pulsing and whipping. Their shape kept changing frequently and at one point they formed a sideways Y shape, then a triangle shape. At another point the thing completely morphed into what I can only describe as a tendril palm tree blowing in the wind. In this instance there were more than 2 of these tendrils, there were several. I checked several times to make sure my telescope was in focus, and it was. These tendril lines were sharp and not blurry. This thing moved with seemingly the same speed as other stars and planets and after observing it for approximately 30 minutes, I lost it behind a building close to the horizon

What looked like a plane heading my way disappeared

While looking out my back door I saw a plane heading my direction. As the plane approached closer I saw another plane on the same flight path right behind it. I stepped outside, as I was letting my dogs inside, I could hear the jet engines of the first plane as it approached. As the plane passed overhead I could see the plane until it passed over my house and went out of view, I could hear the jet engines fading. I looked at the second plane and it was at a spot where I should be hearing it but I do not. I step inside my house real quick to grab my phone off of the kitchen counter so I can take a photo of it. When I am back outside the lights are at a 55 or steeper degree angle up and still no sound, the lights go behind a fast moving small cloud crossing its path for a couple seconds after which it should be right overhead, I look at my phone, while the cloud blocks my view, to turn camera on. I look back up and there is nothing, the cloud continues on it way and there is no sign of a second plane. I downloaded the FlightRadar24 app and it showed the first plane (united express UA5352) which was from Chicago heading to Akron, but it showed that there was no second plane. The skies were mostly clear except for some small fast moving wispy clouds. The second appearing plane seemed to be following the first plane exactly and too close, its lights looked completely identical to the first plane.

It was sitting in the sky way up above the house across the street from me . There were jets and other aircraft flying nearby almost like they were trying to get a closer look also . I couldn’t say how high up but close enough for me to see , for about 3-4 hours before takeing off very fast towards the lake -This is the only one I got on video I seen a row of them , about 6 or 7 ,right above me when I was walking home two nights later but did not get them on video

Line of 3 lights, with each of the end lights alternating flashing

I was driving back from the grocery store and saw some strange lights above my old High School about 300-800 feet above the ground. The object seemed to be roughly car sized.

There were stadium lights also on, and the UAP lights were Exactly the same color. It was about 100-200 feet above the stadium lights, with a center light that was constantly on, with two side lights that were alternating blinking on and off. The side lights were the same size and brightness as the main center light.

It was so Obvious and bright, and also above a large group of people, i did not think to take a video. My first though was its some type of tethered drone or some filming equiment.

I did a u turn about 1 mile passed the school to go and see it again. By that time, within 90 seconds of first seeing it, the craft was no longer there.

There was a cylindrical object in the sky with no inscription or wings like a plane, which moved at a high speed and stopped abruptly.

My mom and I had just dropped off my sister at middle school, and we were driving down Langley on the way to the High School where she worked and I go to school. My mom pointed out the peculiar "plane" in the sky that was glowing pink, probably from the sun. I was thinking that it might not be a plane because there was no inscription, colors, visible wings, or propellers. I saw it start moving forward in the sky pretty fast before stopping completely and abruptly. That was when we drove behind a patch of trees and the object was no longer in either of our sights. When we were out of the trees the object was gone.

Took picture of glowing oval UAP above car. Picture shows possible black cylinder also. Rocket going upwards.

I was driving to work at 5:30 a.m. My eyes kept contact with a strange noiseless dark object to the west which was direction I was driving. It seemed to be moving slowly, but it could have been stationary and I was moving on the road. It was not a plane or helicopter. It was large. I got to a redlight while on route 73 and waited for the traffic light to turn green so I could turn onto route 75. It was now 5:45 a.m. As I was sitting waiting for light to turn green, I looked upward and saw a glowing blue object slightly to my left, but high in the sky. There was no noise. I took two pictures with my phone. Once I got to work, I looked at the pictures. I noticed not only the blue glowing oval, I noticed something going upwards towards it. It was a rocket (I believed) launch or a missile(??) going upward in the sky near it. I did not notice the rocket while I took the pictures. The picture also seemed to show a dark cylinder or cigar-shaped object to the middle/left side of picture. The land there is flat and the objects were quite high in the sky. I used a snipping program to copy what seemed to be the rocket and enlarged it to be sure it was some type of rocket/missile launch. I have included the two untouched pictures and the two snipped copies of the rocket going up. You can clearly see the rocket going up in the picture with the UAP's. I then had to get onto the highway when light turned green and go to work. I open the building for all workers. I saw the original dark object with something hanging down again on my way home around 6:30 p.m., but it had moved and was towards the northeast now towards Wright Pat Airforce Base. The day before my sighting, it was rumored that jets were deployed over Dayton. The base was also closed at a later date due to drones. I have no idea what I saw and more so, the rocket launch - where was it launched from. The Internet did not say there were any launches that day. I am curious if there is an explanation for what I saw or were they UAP's? I have never had an experience like this before. I have nothing else to ad. I used my cell phone to take the pictures. The land there is flat. There are really tall evergreens on the northwest side of the highway that block the land behind it. The UAP's were way above them.

NUFORC Note:

Does not look like a typical rocket. The ovals appear to be refelections?

It was clear. I could see stars. There were no red or green lights and no strobe lights. I have 24000 hrs of flight time and an aircraft can't do that -the light source was steady still visible after the turn and not a projection like a laser plus it was clear no cloud cover.

I got out of my dump truck and looked up in the sky towards the north and silently moving south, a tight group of what seemed to be maybe 8-10 lights flew overhead. Upon first observation, the group seemed to be in an “L” shape; one of the lights made a quick move within the group, which led to making the formation into the shape of a “V” as they flew directly overhead. I yelled at one of the guys I was working with to look up; he said he had no idea what those lights were.

At 3 a.m. in McDonald, Ohio, a power outage preceded hearing muffled tones and seeing a bright, sparking white streak moving across the sky.

Last night right before 3 am I was outside in my shed and all the power went out so I assumed i had blown a fuse so I went inside to flip the switch on the box but none of the fuses indicated that I had blown one. So I didn't think much of it I flipped a couple sswitches in the area I remembered it to be and went back outside. As I was turning it back on I remembered that I didn't hear the clicking sound the power strip makes when its safety switch is activated and the orange light didn't come back on until I flipped it a couple times. Still not thinking much of it I turned everything back on and was standing there getting ready to go back inside and I heard something from outside. It almost sounded like a dial tone with 3 rings close together with a pause followed by three more. But it wasn't a usual night sound i would hear and it immediately grabbed my attention. I stood there for a moment and tried to figure out what I had just heard. It was loud like on a tornado siren but with the volume turned down or muffled like underwater. I would say about 5 seconds passed and I decided I needed to go look outside. As soon as I opened the shed door and looked into the sky a white streak went across it from north west to south east direction. The white streak did not look like a shooting star it was way to close to be that. It almost looked like it was a firework distance away if that make sense and it was bright and white and a almost sparking looking to it. I was frozen in fear. (Written the night of)

Overview of Event

On 11-25-2024, at approximately 3:00 a.m., I experienced a series of unusual phenomena at my residence in McDonald, Ohio. This report documents the sequence of events, observations, and potential implications for review and analysis.

---

Sequence of Events

1. Initial Power Failure

Description: While working in my shed, the power unexpectedly shut off. I inspected the circuit breaker panel, but no fuses appeared to be tripped. This anomaly indicated a disruption unrelated to typical electrical issues.

Notable Behavior: The power strip in the shed exhibited inconsistent behavior. Its safety switch did not engage as expected, and the indicator light failed to illuminate until toggled multiple times.

2. Acoustic Anomaly

Description: Moments later, I heard an unusual sound outside. The sound consisted of three distinct rings, followed by a pause, and repeated. It was loud but muffled, resembling a tone underwater or from a distant siren.

Characteristics: The sound was rhythmic and deliberate, distinct from the usual nighttime noises in the area.

3. Aerial Visual Phenomenon

Description: Upon exiting the shed to investigate, I observed a bright white streak of light traveling northwest to southeast across the sky.

Details:

The light appeared closer than a meteor and had a sparking, firework-like quality.

It moved rapidly but in a straight path, with no noticeable deceleration or erratic behavior.

The duration of visibility was approximately 2–3 seconds.

Emotional Reaction: The sighting elicited a mix of fear, awe, and disbelief due to its proximity and anomalous nature.

---

Geographic and Environmental Context

Location: McDonald, Ohio, a small town in northeastern Ohio.

Conditions:

Weather: [Insert details if known, e.g., clear skies, minimal wind].

Surroundings: Suburban residential area with minimal light pollution.

---

Analysis and Hypotheses

1. Electrical Interference

The power failure and delayed reactivation of the power strip suggest a localized electromagnetic disturbance. This aligns with documented UAP encounters where strong electromagnetic fields temporarily disrupt electrical systems.

2. Sound Patterns

The rhythmic, repeated sound pattern may indicate:

An intentional transmission or signal.

Atmospheric or environmental resonance from an unknown source.

3. Aerial Observations

The characteristics of the light streak (brightness, trajectory, sparking effect) are inconsistent with conventional explanations such as meteors, fireworks, or aircraft.

This sighting aligns with descriptions of UAPs exhibiting advanced propulsion systems and non-ballistic motion.

4. Contextual Factors

Ohio has a history of UAP sightings, particularly in areas with sparse populations and minimal air traffic interference.

I submit this report for review, analysis, and potential follow-up

Twinkling orbs

At first I noticed 2 parallel white lights that were fairly close to each other and looked like large stars traveling at an unnatural speed at an angle. Shortly after I see twinkling white round orbs a bit bigger than your average star. They flash in and out and there’s at least 4 in a vertical diamond formation and around 10 in total. Some are traveling somewhat randomly and travel in a way that’s like a laser pointer. They flash for a least a minute because I’m able to get my partner from inside the house to outside so he can see what I’m seeing. So the orbs are still flashing and traveling southbound and a plane is suddenly flying towards a cluster and look like they are about to intersect but then they slowly fade and travel away from the plane. I tried to get a video/picture but it was difficult to capture on my phone.

Light moved from left to right then stopped directly above the road I passed under and stopped to watch and it vanished

I was traveling east on Jericho road between Hicksville and Sherwood Ohio at approximately 4 a.m. on my way to work. About a mile from the intersection of Jericho and 127, I noticed what I thought was a star brighter than the rest in the sky. Then I realized it was moving slowly and thought it was a plane until it stopped above the road. I was still traveling at about 50 mph so I glanced at the road, then back to the light a few times before I slowed to a stop at the intersection. I could see the light through my sun roof and was about to get out of my car when it just blinked out. I couldn't see it anymore so I made a right turn to the south and went to work.

The light didn't move very fast, but was steady. Flashing yellow to white and continued flashing even when I was under it looking up through my sun roof. If I had to guess how high it was in the sky, I would say a couple hundred feet or less. When I first noticed it. It didn't seem like it wasn't very high above the trees because the closer I got to the intersection, the more trees I could see silhouetted from the clear sky's that night.

And there were no clouds in the sky.

Explanation: Aircraft - Possible


I saw what looked like a massively oversized B-17 flying fortress that moved and existed impossibly.

I looked to my left and saw a silvery gray object too large for a small passenger plane at least a good two miles to my left. It looked far too large to be what I thought it was, as it carried a silhouette nearly identical to a B-17 flying fortress. That said I also must add that anything with even a matte finish would show some palpable amount of light reflection in the early morning sun. It seemed solid grey over the farmland. Even if I had gone mad my mind knows better. How could such a mental ruse fool me? My mind knows better than to think such a crazy would show stormcloud grey in the sun. I felt my vehicle hitting the shoulder as it seemed to stop its motion. I swerved back to the road and in that two seconds it was gone. I slowed to a snail's pace, rolled down my window, looked at the entire horizon and found not a trace of anything. Gone across 3/4 of the horizon in two seconds time?

We both witnessed a dark silent craft with no lights or sound moving across the sky at night, lit only from ground lights

My wife and I were on the second story of our back deck skywatching for a bit (meteorites, aircraft, etc.), while the dog was making his last rounds of the property for the evening. We live in a rural area surrounded by farmland and a few homes on the north, south and east. To the west are a couple of truckstops, warehouses and Interstate 70. The highway and the businesses and highway put off quite a bit of light, but the sky looking north is still somewhat dark. We had been sitting out for about 15 minutes, and our eyes were well adjusted to the dark.

I stood up to whistle for the dog and looked in the western direction, scanning the sky one more time, I noticed the dark object moving across the sky at this time. The sky was clear, and the object had no lights. It looked to be around 50’ in length and maybe 10’ tall and was only visible because of the lights on the ground. It appeared to be rectangular/ long cube shape with some sort of appendages. It was moving from WSW to the northeast about 300’ away from us and about 300’ off the ground. As soon as I saw it, I pointed and told my wife that there is an object floating across the sky right there. To my surprise, she saw it instantly and we both followed it until it went beyond the trees and out of sight. There was no sound.

Obviously, what I described resembles the description of an airplane. The object was dark and in a dark sky only illuminated by lights from below, so not seen perfectly. I have watched the sky from this exact location most nights for the last 20 years. I am familiar with aircraft, lights, drones, stars, planets, lanterns, etc., we have both lived close to Wright Patterson AFB our whole lives. If it were a conventional aircraft, it was totally silent and flying with all identifying lights off. As close as we were, we should have heard it, whether a prop plane or jet.

Possibly something secret from the AFB?

Multi-colored orb seen moving in random pattern in the night sky.

**Weather and Visibility Conditions:**
The skies were clear with no cloud cover, making for excellent observing conditions. There was little to no wind, and no precipitation.

**Description of the Object:**
The object was orb-shaped and initially appeared similar to a star in the sky. Upon closer inspection, it was clear that it was not a star. The object displayed rapidly shifting colors, transitioning between red, white, blue, and purple. These flashing colors had a slight translucent quality, adding to its unusual appearance. The object appeared to be about the same size as Venus when observed from the ground.

The object performed several rapid movements in multiple directions, following a seemingly random, zigzag-like pattern. It moved with precision and speed that seemed impossible for conventional aircraft. Throughout the sighting, no sound was heard coming from the object. The entire event lasted approximately 10 minutes.

**Witnesses:**
I, along with my brother, witnessed the event while stargazing. At the time, I was also engaged in astrophotography using a tripod. My brother first noticed the object, observing its movement and shifting colors. Initially, I believed it to be a star, but after further observation and reviewing video footage, it became evident that it was not.

My brother used my tripod to stabilize his phone while filming the object. Upon reviewing the videos, the erratic movement of the object is clearly visible, confirming that it was not a stationary celestial body like a star.

Our mother later joined us outside and also observed the object. All three of us independently witnessed and verified the sighting, agreeing that it was an unidentified flying object (UFO).

**Recordings:**
We captured video recordings of the object using a phone mounted on a tripod for maximum stability. Two videos were taken:
1. A 7-second unedited and uncropped video that shows the object and its movements.
2. A 22-second cropped video that focuses on the object’s movements for easier viewing.

Both videos were filmed using an iPhone 13 Pro on October 20, 2024. The wide camera setting was used at 26 mm with a focal point of f/1.6.

**Additional Notes:**
My brother and I are credible individuals, and I attest that these recordings are genuine. The videos were filmed with a stabilized setup (a tripod placed on a table) to ensure accuracy and eliminate shakiness. The sighting was observed by multiple witnesses, and the event remains unexplained.

2 blue round lights in front of full moon, one darting, other stationery.

I was standing on my back porch after 9pm, 35 Town St., Pataskala, OH 43062, 18 Oct 24. A full moon was on the rise out of the east, which I was admiring. Suddenly I saw 2 blue orbs darting rapidly back and forth in a zig zag fasion. By the time I grabbed my phone, one had disappeared, to the north, I think. The other was stationery long enough that I could snap the photo and was gone. I don't recall which direction it went if I even saw it. I just know it was gone. I am a retired Army Major with 30 yrs of service. I was active duty, NG and USAR. I retired in 2016, when I turned 60. I worked as a civlian for the NG and USAR for 20 yrs.

Saw this line show up, disappeared and then showed back up and so I pulled the car over and took out my phone.

My son and I were driving home after seeing my wife at work and I happened to notice the string of lights appear out of nowhere and within 2 seconds they disappeared so I kept going and within 5-7 seconds, they showed back up. I pulled over, across the opposite lane of traffic due to having a place to pull over, proceeded to record the sighting and looked up Starlink tracker before submitting this, none to be seen for 5 days in my area and I was raised on Air Force bases, this isn’t anything I’ve ever seen.

This is not the first case where it was definitely starlink but the tracker app did not register it.

Front yard looking up. I see planes all the time and can identify them easily. It flew South to North. Unusual Pattern for area.

I was looking up as I often do. This was a small white ball. smaller than a plane. low enough that if it was a plane, I would hear it or see the shape. It was within typical flight altitudes but certainly not at the lowest. It traveled faster than a plane would in my area. Probably 1.5 times the speed of a commercial plane at low cruising altitude.

The weirdest part that I noticed, is that in my area, planes usually move E-W or W-E. Sometimes on the diagonal. This was perfectly South to North. Very Unusual.

The planes that day had left lots of trails and this had nothing.

It was in and out of frame, from my unobstructed view, in about 40 seconds. I'm about 2 miles from Lake Erie West of Cleveland. I cannot explain what I saw logically.

Orb following an aircraft at the same exact speed, approximately 1000 ft behind the aircraft.

My daughter and I were outside in the driveway and I looked up and saw a silver orb following an aircraft at the same speed. It seemed locked at the same speed and same trajectory. We tracked the orb and plane for about 6-8 seconds. The plane and orb both disappeared behind clouds eventually.

I personally saw the same exact type of orb a different day with no aircraft, moving at approximately the same speed as the one seen before. This should be a separate report but I am unsure of the date on that one, and is very close, within a month of this sighting. That one was only tracked for 2-3 seconds.

I determined through process of elimination that this was in fact a UAP or UFO.

1. They were both moving too fast to be weather balloons.
2. They were both mid-day or at least not close to evening or dusk.
3. They were much too large to be satellites. About the same diameter of a Boing 747 wings at 20,000 ft.
4. Planes do not tow orbs, at least from what I've found from doing as much search on the subject as I can.
5. Moving at lock speed with the aircraft was bizarre enough to give me extreme pause when I saw it.

When returning to apartment, saw three glowing lights in a triangle shape. Could not make out color of craft.

My girlfriend and I were returning from dinner. We were approaching our apartment from the rear side. She grabbed my arm, pointed to the sky and said "What the fuck is that". Looking to where she pointed, I saw three lights in the shape of a triangle slowly moving towards the apartment building. The lights were glowing orange as if on fire. As they moved they stayed in perfect formation. We quickly ran through the building to the front, street facing side where we could only see two of the three orange lights, still moving towards our apartment. We entered the apartment building and took the elevator to the second floor. The craft(s) were gone by the time we reached the second floor. I am not sure whether we saw three craft flying in triangular formation or 1 triangular craft with three lights. It was late at night. So, If it was one triangular craft, I could not make out a color. As for my background, I am currently a graduate student at a nearby college.

Glob of lights in a stationary position slowly changes formations while pulsating its lights through the sky.

I was on my roof top when I noticed what looked like a “glob” of stars floating in the sky. These star like objects slowly moved into a different formation and formed what looked like symbols. This was not a drone show and there were no starlink satellites reported. These objects pulsated lights in a synchronous way while floating through the night sky.

Estimated Speed: Fast. Very fast.
Explanation: Spiderweb - Certain
Characteristics: Lights on object, Made a sound

Never seen anything like it before. It was fast and strobing And you can hear the noise.

I heard a bang towards the back of my house so I turned my ring camera on live view and I was just looking around. Then I saw these strobing lights coming from the NE above a house across the street towards my house in a South SW direction. You can hear the noise in the air. It sounded heavy like a tunnel in the city sounds. It was very quick too and seemed larger than a drone would be. And the lights… were like ones from that classic movie. I’m assuming it was disk shaped the way the lights were. Never seen anything like that before. I couldn’t see anything on my back camera as the tree limbs were blocking. But you could hear the noise. And hear the difference in sound in clips several minutes before and after.

A series of white lights in perfect line spaced perfectly apart until they rose into the sky and disappeared

I went outside to let my dogs go to the bathroom when I noticed in the northwest sky perfectly spaced apart white lights (10 to 15 objects) rising into the sky before disappearing. As they rose into the sky and disappeared the light next in line rose at a faster speed to extend the space between objects which means it sped up. I have witnessed both jets and helicopters in my life as I am ex US Coast Guard and know that these were neither planes or helicopters as none of these lights were blinking in no way whatsoever and not flares as they rose into the sky. I took a video as proof of this and have it saved to my phone

Two groups of slow moving bright orbs moving east to west after severe weather and tornados.

Saw bright distant orbs at early dusk under cloud layer as pointed out by two persons. Watched and saw two groups of three orbs with other single objects move east to west over a period of 14 minutes. First group had total of seven orbs or lights, second group had six, all moving at same speed at cloud base, then each in succession moved up into the cloud base and disappeared into the cloud base.

Saw another craft with two green aft lights and one each red and white light moving fast a lower altitude but going in the same direction, probably a copter. Took still photos and vids of each group and single objects.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 182407
Occurred: 2024-07-27 21:55 Local
Reported: 2024-07-28 07:27 Pacific
Duration: About 1 minute
No of observers: 1

Location: Wadsworth, OH, USA
Location details: I was facing South and the star Vega was East and Arcturus West and Hercules was directly above me.

Shape: Triangle
Color: Black
Estimated Size: Large enough to fit into the "body" of Hercules.
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: North
Angle of Elevation: 85
Closest Distance: Not able to determine
Estimated Speed: Not able to determine due to not seeing distance
Characteristics: Lights on object

Observed object enter from the West, by Arcturus, proceed across the Corona Borealis and stop in the "body" of Hercules while rotating

I was sitting outside from about 21:30 hrs. which allowed my eyes to adjust to the dark. There were no clouds in the sky and no moon. Little ambient light from the city, which was several miles North of my location. I was looking West to Arcturus to locate the Coronae Borealis and see if the star which had gone Nova was appearing. As I was following the stars, I observed what seemed like 3 satellites travelling East at the same speed in a triangular shape. As I watched, the lights rotated on an axis clockwise while maintaining the same distance from each other. The triangular lights entered the constellation Hercules, which was nearly directly above me. The lights stopped moving East but continued to rotate on a center axis for about a 1/3 turn. The object/lights then proceeded South for a short distance and then the lights went out. No sounds emitting from the object. After seeing the object, I grabbed my iPhone, which was already recording, which I do when outside at night, and pointed it directly up. At about the 50 second mark, I utter "What the hell." and the house window will appear at the top of the screen. The video was too grainy to observe anything except for the bright star Vega. The lights being emitted from the object were at the three points of the triangle. No other lights were observed on the object. I regularly observe satellites at night, so I know what those look like.

NUFORC Note:

Nothing could be seen in the submitted video.
