Occurred: 2025-05-24 23:15 Local
Reported: 2025-05-24 21:41 Pacific
Duration: Approximately 5 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Greenville, SC, USA
Location details: Equestrian Park. Open view of the sky with little light pollution.

Shape: Star
Color: Silver/White
Estimated Size: Unknown. Presumably large given the altitude
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: WSW almost overhead
Angle of Elevation: 90
Closest Distance: Unknown
Estimated Speed: Extremely fast, comparable to planes in the air
Characteristics: Changed Colo

Object that resembled a satellite began behaving strangley.

We began watching what we believed to be a satellite moving across the sky. The object was silver/white and appeared at an extremely high altitude. We began to notice that the object seemed to slow as it moved almost directly overhead. The object then came to a complete stop and flared to a more orange/red color. The object then began moving in the opposite direction and made an arc until it was moving at almost ninety degrees of it's previous direction. It then came to another stop and dimmed to it's original silver/white. It then moved very rapidly in it's original direction until it was lost from our field of view. We attempted to explain what we had seen (moving clouds giving the illusion of movement, meteorite entering at a strange angle, etc.) but nothing seemed to quite fit for a reasonable explanation.

Occurred: 2025-05-17 22:10 Local
Reported: 2025-05-17 20:11 Pacific
Duration: 10+ minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Six Mile, SC, USA
Location details: I watched a procession for 10+ minutes from the barn which is behind and below my home.

Shape: Formation
Color: White
Estimated Size: Unknown
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: North to South
Angle of Elevation: 67
Closest Distance: Unknown. They were really high up.
Estimated Speed: Slightly faster than a normal plane
Explanation: Starlink - Probable
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

I watched a procession of aircraft, evenly spaced, headed in the same direction with no transponder lights such as planes would have.

I was doing my nightly feeding at the barn after work. It was a little after 10pm. I don’t know how many had passed before I noticed them, but counted 25 once I became aware and started counting. They were on a southerly direction flight path and the first 15 or so were evenly spaced apart, but the last ones, though on the same path, were not consistent in distance apart. They were too high up to see more than white light, but there was no blinking lights whatsoever such as normal planes are required to use. Once they reached a certain point in the flight path, they simply faded from sight one by one, but you could follow them for some distance across the sky before they reached this point. I watched amazed until at last there seemed to be no more coming. There were at this time also normal planes in the sky with the normal flashing lights on the normal flight paths that I typically see at this time of night. I like to watch them as I wait for the water trough to fill, but this was something entirely different. I have never seen planes fly this particular direction and especially not this number in procession. It was pretty amazing. Military planes might fly in procession this way, but not without navigation lights.

Saw bright lights above the treeline while driving to my mom’s house in rural northeast SC

I have photos and a short video. Was driving down Highway 34 and noticed three very bright lights out of the driver’s window. They were low in the sky and so bright I could see the lights shining out into the dark. It was like the headlights on a car on the road but in the sky. I was on the phone and I told my friend what I was seeing. I slowed down to take photos but at this stage the object had moved, so I raced down a side road to get a better view. I took two photos and then the object changed direction so I could see the underside of it. That’s when I noticed it was a triangle with three points of light at each end.

Location: Simpsonville, SC, USA
Location details: Observing the evening sky from East/Southeast to the West/Northwest.

Shape: Orb
Color: Thermal: White hot
Estimated Size: Apparent size appears to be fairly small, orb-like
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: Eastern sky initially, observing towards rising full moon.
Angle of Elevation: 50
Closest Distance: Possibly below 10,000 feet in altitude.
Estimated Speed: 7,200-10,000 mph (2-5 miles per second)
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail

Using an Sig Sauer CV25 handheld thermal optic observing high-altitude commercial aircraft 20-30miles, detected a white hot orb flyby.

While observing two distant commercial aircraft at cruising altitudes, testing the capabilities of the thermal optic, an orb-like object suddenly entered the frame from the East/Southeast and I immediately noticed and attempted to track the object from right to left before it appeared to go beyond my line of sight (due to a house roof in my view). The object moved so quickly the thermal sensor barely detected the object initially and it rapidly appeared as a crisp round shape and continued to be so until it was obstructed from view. The night was completely quiet and still, no sonic booms or aircraft engine noise whatsoever. The video footage appears to show a slight aura trailing the object. Since it detects IR spectrum only, this may indicate propulsion or could be an artifact of a 50fps optical image processing capability.

The Sig thermal is rated as follows: 640x512 VGA 12um 50Hz thermal core with 20mK sensitivity

Air temperature was approximately 67F with clear skies, visibility over 20 miles and humidity below 50% with no wind.

First appeared 2 white orbs, then there were 3, then there were 5 total.

As i was driving on I-77 north in South carolina this morning, I first noticed 2 BRIGHT white orbs hovering in the sky right before sunrise. A few minutes later another orb popped up. A few more minutes later 2 more popped up which totaled 5 orbs. One of them were flickering, one was a very dim, orangish color. They all were hovering in the same area close together. I could tell these were not planes or helicopters because i saw no Flashing FAA lights. 2 or 3 of these orbs would randomly disapper for about 10-20 seconds then reappear in a different spot. I only saw upward and downward movement of these orbs. This lasted about 15-20 mins, the last few minutes i witnessed this, the sun had already risen and these lights were still very bright in the sky. Just after sunrise all the lights disappered. I also noticed what i think were military aircraft flying around these orbs. These other aircraft i could see clearly, were dark in color and i saw no visble lights on those aircraft. I recorded 3 seperate videos of these lights in the sky as well.

Very similar sightings to NJ drones. Clearly not an aircraft with any sort of passenger. Saw 3 separate drones “surveying” skyline.

It was a very clear and chilly night so I decided to look to see if anything was going on in the sky. I was with 2 of my friends as well as my brother and we each saw multiple, very tiny “stars” clearly moving but too far to record. After seeing this, we all saw the drones with red & green flashing lights. In the later portion of the video, drones seem to interact with each other and then move separate ways. Street lamps also went crazy when drones first appeared overhead along with neighbors’ floodlights. So electronics were certainly messed with and it made it a difficulty to record as well.

Orb-like object floating in trees near movie theater.

My girlfriend and I were walking into the movie theater and I happened to catch this object floating in the treeline. It seemed to be sitting there and then took off (slowly) as I pointed it out. The object appeared to be somewhat translucent but also visible. It seemed like an orb but it had a long string like thing hanging from it as well (also glowing like the object itself). I have pictures as well as video.

Noticed a bright white cloud with rainbow/iridescent colors, appearing to have movement inside, 2 orbs meet through different clouds.

I observed from my backyard, near the moon in the eastern sky, a cloud that appeared to get bright white with rainbow/iridescent colors in it. It appeared to have movement within the cloud, like bright spots moving around. The cloud was changing shape and then I noticed 2 bright white orbs in the clouds approaching eachother and joining as one. It appeared very bright white, then began to dissipate, then build up brightness and colors again until it faded away.

Within 1 min later we saw a massive cigar shaped unit floating from the ring portal back the opposite direction. It was huge. No sound, no wings and no illumination from the craft. We could see it because of the reflection from city lights and it was a perfect clear night. Interestingly I had a feeling all day to go to this park to mediate and observe. I felt this was going to happen as crazy as it is.

Three different types UAP. I have more video. I have never reported before or ever seeing anything like this in all of my 60 years.

This sighting involves several different types of objects. The first thing I saw out my window in the sky was what looked like a drone I went outside and saw several drones and in front of my house. Low in the sky was a very bright white object that looked like a vertical line. I called my friend on the phone who lived several miles away and asked her to look in the sky. We both saw several super bright lights like this which we have never seen before. I am 60 and she is 70 and neither of us have ever needed or want any of type of attention. I took some pictures and videotaped it. I don’t think we saw the same exact objects necessarily. about 30 minutes later I went back outside and that object was still there in the same spot, but was starting to dim or maybe even move. I’m not sure but I turned around and behind my house appeared what I thought were several drones. I took a video and the remarkable thing is one of the objects which I didn’t follow with my camera, but got a good close-up is not describable as a shape, see photo. There were definitely drones nearby and one flew over my house that I recorded. It was not a helicopter or a plane. It had red and white flashing lights and did make sound. It seemed way larger than a commercial drone. I don’t know what to make of it all but the original light faded away and all the activity died down. I will attach the videos and the zoomed in screenshot. Know.

Observed a stationary orb begin to float upwards after an aircraft passed directly in front of it.

An evening in Jan. 2025, from my rural backyard with an expansive sky view, I began recording with my phone the south eastern sky with what appeared to be curious activity. I observed 2 large, stationary, white orbs (I thought were stars) that are really "blinky" and throwing off colors. They were positioned one above the other, low in the sky. I observed no movements before beginning recording. As I'm recording, an aircraft (seemed small and not fast) approaches travelling east to west, approaching the bottom orb and passes precisely in front of, or behind it. It appeared almost as if the bottom orb began ascending to be able to meet accurately with the aircraft. As soon as the aircraft passed by the bottom orb, it began to ascend in to the sky and travel at a moderate speed higher up and further away towards the east, behind trees until out of view. The other more "blinky" orb that got my attention in the first place, remained in the position it was in and I observed no further phenomenon.

Looked up and saw it slowly moving overhead and behind some trees

I take my dog outside at 9 pm every night. When I do I always look up into the sky to see what’s going on. This night seemed pretty clear. We came outside and I was standing on the side of my house and looked up and looked straight at it. Couldn’t really see the shape of the craft but the lights underneath were visible and in a v formation. 7 lights total. It was very dark the lights were very dim but still visible and I watched it move south at a consistent speed for about 5 seconds before it was lost behind some trees. Hard to determine size but I’m guessing it was probably 200-300 ft above the ground and about 40-50 ft wide. It made no sound

2 orbs travelled and stopped above my head.

On 1/24/2025 at 6:27pm, I had my first UAP experience. I observed from my backyard, in a rural subdivision with an expansive sky view, what I believed to be a satellite travelling from the east to west. It was round in shape, the same size as any other satellite, white in color and emanated light like a star. It was travelling at a moderately slow speed. I observed it approaching right over my head and then it stopped. As I continued to observe this orb, it instantaneously jumped from one position to another, right next to itself. I continued to watch this orb when I noticed another orb travelling from the south to north and reddish in color, appearing slightly smaller, and emanating light. It appeared to be travelling at the same speed as the first orb. As it approached, it suddenly stopped (I say "suddenly", but it really seemed as if it slowed down right before it settled in it's spot. This is the case for the first orb as well.) This orb stopped above my head, adjacent to the first orb. I continued to observe these orbs for another hour+. No further position changes were made, but I did observe slight, subtle movements, appearing as if they're trying to maintain a precise position.

Out this world

Ok well here we go my name is (deleted). I’m here to tell you that my first experience was very different and unexpected especially where I’m from. It was like 4am, really windy outside, like really heavy no rain, and I’m walking all by myself with my head phones on when suddenly I feel this urge to look up and the thing I saw was shaped like an egg. It was almost the size of a car and it was stationary and didn’t move a muscle in the air, powerful wind, and it was really close to the ground. I mean super super close, and it was in the air enough to see it also it was in someone’s backyard. But if I could get on the roof I could jump off and touch it.

And it was almost like it was breathing like a light, but one dim light in the inside, and it was glowing almost like a heartbeat. Never seen anything ever like this and I think this is very serious.

NUFORC Note:

INVESTIGATION REPORT

I texted the contact and identified myself as an investigator researcher helping NUFORC to investigate his case as reported in January 2025. He immediately called me back. He had a terrible connection, I called him back and it was only slightly better. The contact was reluctant to give me the location, but when he said it was across the street from a family member’s home I realized he didn’t want to identify the location for privacy. I asked if he could give me the zip code and he gave it as 29546 which is Gresham, SC in Marion County SC 33.89001, -79.35151 and not Conway, SC as initially reported, but is west of Conway. This is an area not well populated, the 2023 data indicates 2,574 people in the county and 18.13 per square mile.

The individual said he couldn’t remember the date which is not uncommon. I had hoped to clarify the date. He said he was walking down the street around 4 AM with headphones on listening to music. It was very windy. He said he felt a presence, didn’t know why, looked up and slightly above a house on the right side and then close to the ground about 5-6 feet from him, about 14 feet off of the ground, the size of an SUV, he said what looked like a large egg. It was silver almost translucent, light inside radiating like a slow heartbeat, the light was dim. No lights on the outside. He was very confident about something being inside it and not otherwise controlled, felt a presence that he couldn’t explain.

Family member’s house was across the street from the sighting, he panicked in shock, pulled his phone out like to take a photo, but it died. He ran, scared, he looked back and it was gone, he said very fast despite it being very windy. There was no sound, he felt like it was looking for something, couldn’t explain, felt some intelligence inside it. The episode lasted 6-7 minutes. No one else was around at that time in the morning. There were no environmental sounds like dogs etc. This was the individual’s first experience of any type.

I checked Wunderground for both January 16 and January 17 and the winds at 4:00 AM were CALM. Many sightings involve unusual weather patterns not otherwise documented, so whether this was part of the effect with the sighting, that is the only thing I can come up with. Sky object documentation not warranted with this type of sighting, as not seen in sky view. The moon was a waning gibbous moon per Wunderground.

MADAR site had magnetometer spike at time of sighting. Investigation showed the reported departure 6-7 mins later might have been recorded as well.

MULTIPLE DIFFERENT OBJECTS: orbs, drones, triangle with red light, and a glowing red streak of energy that appeared and disappeared

I HAVE BEEN SEEING ORBS AND DRONES FOR THREE MONTHS, in droves/waves, around the same time every instance. Sightings at multiple different locations here in myrtle beach South Carolina, down to Murrells inlet, sc. It’s not every night, but close to it. I’m not the only one witnessing it.
But last night, during the wave of orbs and drones, I saw two different things I’ve never seen before.

As I was watching the “wave”, a red glowing fiery streak of light/energy, appeared out of nowhere, and disappeared into no where. It lasted about 2.5 seconds. It had a long tail of fluorescent red light, it was neither a craft, an orb or a drone, and it was not a comet. I would have believed it was a comet or an asteroid if it wasn’t for the way it traveled. It was unlike anything I have ever seen before.

Secondly, the other “new” object I saw, at first glance I thought it was a drone, but it flew right over me and my boyfriends head about 150 ft above, and disappeared over the tree line behind my house. It was a TRIANGLE WITH THREE RED LIGHTS one light at each corner. It was Nothing like the drones I have been seeing, and it did not flash.

I was heading north at approximately 9 pm on Petigru Drive in Pawleys Island when i noticed a bright red flashing object in the distance. As I continued to drive towards it i could tell it was at a very low altitude. I was able to stop my car and get out for a better view once I was under it. It was stationary and silent. There were two bright red flashing lights in what appeared to be a fixed wing. I could see the lights were connected by a straight solid object, but there was no front or rear fuselage. I would estimate the size to be that of a school bus. I watched it for about 1 minute before the red lights turned to bright white and took off westbound at a considerable speed. There have been several sightings around the area over the past two weeks.

Some strobes were VERY VERY BRITE & then the craft started to move around. It even totally blacked out @ times too. I observed this thing for about 15 mins when it strangely did 2 tight circles & fell out of sight. Got video clips a lot of them.

A large body of traveling light.

I tend to star gaze and look at the moon a lot when I’m out at night. On this occasion I was observing the moon while driving when I noticed a large mass of light traveling across the night sky going I believe in a northward direction. It was slightly foggy out, the light was brighter than the typical shooting stars or satellites that burn up in the atmosphere when they fall back to the earth. When I noticed it, I thought maybe it was an asteroid or maybe even a missile, however the speed of this thing and the amount of light it emitted made me skeptical. The light might have slightly resembled the appearance of Heat Lightning, except it traveled across the horizon. In a matter of seconds it was gone. I’ve been asking around if others may have seen the same thing, thinking maybe someone witnessed it and has a rational explanation.

Electron orbiting ufos.

I came outside after eating lunch, noticed geoengineering trails in the sky. I looked over to above the tree line and saw 3 very fast moving small spheres. At first I thought they were just some small birds, but they became very reflective of the sun and did very fast electron-like orbiting around each other, disappeared for a second, came back into view with 2 more joining them in the same pattern, and just vanished beyond the haze. All of this lasted 1 minute. I kept trying to see if they would come back into view, but they never did. Then I saw a commercial airplane on the opposite side of my sky view that seemed to be the same size and altitude of the ufos, I verified the altitude of the airplane to be around 40,000 feet on a flight tracker website and 500 knots. These spheres moved faster than that airplane and performed very difficult maneuvers for an airplane to achieve in such a short distance and period of time.

Between 0.8 sec and 1.5 sec. so i am saying at the Least .8(1/2 sec) milliseconds and no more than (1/2sec).

Every morning i go on my 4 mile walk. i start this every morning between 4am-8am every morning. This morning i woke up at 4am.strated my workout at 5.
(i don't smoke weed, i dont drink, i am not around any drug users for the most part) i am not here to confuse. just listen to my story.

(5:55am)- i am walking up to the road before the baseball field, it is the road soon as you pass the train tracks, the same road Andrews trash dump is located on. Walking the direction of the ball field (the ball field is on my left hand side at this moment in time

(6:00) i seen a fast light in the sky GOING UPWARD through my peripheral(the corner of my eye)at this point im not sure but i am alert.

At this point i keep watching the sky

Seen it again 2-4 min later. again out my peripheral.

It would happen every 2 min i would say

The 3rd time i had seen it. but i am not sure the angle as it would only be in the air between 0.8 sec and 1.5 sec.(to small and to fast to see the shape, almost impossible to detect) but there was light which the light seemed faster than the planes speed. you could only see the light for about (0.6 - 1.3 sec) but the light was just a normal light (white light).no extra colors. so yes i would see the planes trail longer the the light(white light) itself. I don't know if the light was flashing i am just explaining the best way i can.

4th time i seen it i was looking dead at it. it was going downward at a 40 degree angle.

At this time I am walking on the other side of the ball field so the ball field is on my left hand side. And I am walking back the opposite direction(which is towards the city/or as I explained towards the train tracks)

Some lights were green, some were white, red, and only one was blue. They seemed to be going in one direction for the most part but a few went in strange patterns and came very close to each other when crossing paths. My husband and I were outside with our dog and watched them in the sky for around an hour. I’m sure the lights continued on longer but it was getting quite cold outside so we went back into our house.

8-12’ long small scale fighter jet-like with angled surface - two fixed wings and 4 quad copter arms protruding in front of and rear

The first observation was not on film but I couldn’t miss it heading away from the base down Yeamans Hall rd - it was just there hovering over a house. I saw it driving close up it was in the style of fighter jet with camouflage wrap , however, smaller scale and it was more of a shell made of metal in the shape of a jet. It looked like it was completely still, just hovering there, with four lights active revealing that it’s framework was more quad copter skeleton protruding through the shell of a body

Hovering with the lights active about 30’-40’ over the roof of home on side of Yeamans Hall Rd, approx. 8’-12’ long - shell structure was very similar to early to late F series USA fighter jets but not a smooth surface - more angled like anti-radar geometry even though it was well below radar minimum height detection - there were 4 quad copter arms protruding out in front and behind of the fixed wings. Solid red lights underneath flashing wingtip lights.

I back tracked to N. Rhett Rd for vantage point and have some video of the 8-10+ additional vehicles at various altitude - at least one that was several thousand ft in the sky at one point

The third encounter that night while attempting to track where I was almost as close (over and behind police station heading back down Yeamans) it sounded like a drone would - but almost like it was coming out of a speaker.

Father and I saw extremely bright, multicolored, shape-shifting orb while decorating Xmas lights.

On the evening of December 5, 2024 my father and I were decorating Christmas lights when we noticed there seemed to be some strange activity in the sky. Sightings begin around 12:30 A.M.; continuing on until around 2:30 A.M. I saw what looked like a “star” at a distance, & as I focused more I realized it was not a star at all! The orb was extremely bright. It was a very bright whitish/blue & I noticed it was frequently changing shape in a way that was unexpected/unexplainable. I did not notice until reviewing my phone’s footage the orb was actually burning so bright it was almost each color on the spectrum! My dad and I called it “inch-worming” because the orb would change from a spheroid shape into a thin bright line all the while moving extremely quickly and very high up. Some time went on and I also caught what seemed to be (military?) aircraft. I believe it was a jet of some sort with its speed but made a mistake during my recording, calling it a helicopter. However, I’m not sure what it was for certain. It just had dual exhausts and was moving extremely fast yet it was clearly something I’d be more familiar with. This “jet” seemed to be checking up on what this orb was up to. And I have to say it was bizarre. The jet left not long after having an interaction with the orb, almost like they were communicating? I am speculating here but I am just trying to make sense of it in the best way I can. After this encounter, the orb stayed another 20 mins or so and then left around 2:30 A.M.

Went from light in sky to giant craft hovering with red green and white lights above me then slowly moved away over trees

I was coming home from work and a I approached my street it saw a bright light that I thought was a satellite but was larger. It became larger so I pulled over to get a better look safely. I looked back up and it was a giant ship/craft hovering to the left of my windshield. I stared at it in absolute shock and started fumbling with my phone to get a picture. It began to move very slowly away. The street lights were making it difficult to see it on my phone so I tried to move to a cul de sac with less lighting. By then it was moving a little faster and beginning to move over the trees and neighborhood. While I was under the craft it appeared huge rounded in the back and protruded more in the front. There were lights flashing all over it in reds greens yellowish and white lights. There were details of the craft underneath. I did not hear a sound either when it was above me or when it moved away.

Large lit floating object in sky

Driving down 302, a large lit object caught my eye hovering above a cotton field (maybe further towards state park or srs). It was unusually complex gray, with an upper & lower set of exactly- spaced solid pink-ish lights. This was at sunset, maybe distorting light color. I shouted "what kinda plane is that?" Got goosebumps & realized it was not a usual sky vehicle. Before I could take photo, it disappeared from one side to the next, above tree lines, no obstructions. I turned around and saw nothing. There was enough sunlight left to notice it appeared as one unit. It was on right of & about 4:00-ish, under the moon, for coordinates. It lasted a decent amount of time after notice, maybe 10-30 seconds. Phone couldn't call. Dogs were barking all down the road home & did not see it, again. Silent. Idk if anything else was near it or blasting it because there was some light color change, possibly due to sunlight? It looked like a rectangular? Space craft. I feel strange recalling it but am mostly curious if it's a known object. Military tool, etc. It did not appear to cause harm but there seemed to be a slight bubble surrounding it, an aura. I was not high. I wish I had a photo. This lasted longer than a glimpse, was not a window reflection nor tower.

I have been fortunate experiencing 3 sightings in the early 70s and in 1966 and "believe" I saw one last night.

I usually always look into the sky hoping for a fourth sighting day and night. last night I witnessed a light moving oddly slow for an aircraft. what got my attention was there were no required port and starboard colored light, just a white light. Then watched light dim slowly and disappear.

My first 3 sightings were obviously UAPs; a parallelogram inverting itself green to blue repeating itself for what I believe was its propulsion system( Aiken SC in 1973. Then with a friend caught an orb speeding from horizon to disappearing within 1 possibly 2 seconds. My first one(1966) got my attention because of an unfamiliar sound causing me to look up and watched a luminous disk relatively low in altitude pass almost directly overhead.

Saw a perfect triangle shape with 3 lights on each vertex

Went outside for a quick smoke, and sat on the steps at the end of the building. I laid back to look straight up at the sky. Traveling from NE to SW I saw the equilateral triangle shape with 3 pale yellow/dirty white lights on each vertice of the triangle. It was completely silent, maybe 500-1000 ft up, traveling at a medium speed. It flew at a steady pace, but not all that fast. It was visible for approximately 10-15 seconds before it was too far away to see any further.

White light hovering and moving strangely in the sky

We saw a white light in the sky moving strangely and hovering. The light and strange movement drew our attention. We stopped and watched it. Then it stayed in one spot for about a minute. Then it moved out of sight behind the trees. Neither of us heard it make any sound. Possibly a drone. Not a helicopter or airplane. The size and distance was hard to judge. It was either small and close or big and far. We were seeing it through the trees.

We were heading to Charleston, I was driving, my wife was saying how great the new Bridge was and took a photo of the 1st span. We didn't see it till we looked at the photo later. It is directly above the Bridge and appears to following an Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyer, that had just gone under the bridge. Headed east, out of Charleston Harbor.

Black rectangle with cream/yellow lights in middle. Gone within seconds with no evidence of it being an aircraft

I was driving down on a hwy with blue clear skies. It was early afternoon. There was a rectangular shaped object that resembles to me like a banner you would see a small aircraft trailing behind at a beach but there was no fluidity to the object. It was black with cream colored middle. Don't recall if it was solid or if it has windows. It stayed up in the sky with no movement so I proceed to park at the parking lot which was just yards away (just 10 seconds) to take a better look at it. It was gone. There was no trail of smoke, sound or anything of that nature. Then about maybe 30-40 minutes later, I was coming home from the same direction I was at previously but on an opposite highway. There were several jets flying close to that vicinity. I cannot recall the date, but it was Sunday (likely rather than Saturday) sometime before Thanksgiving.

Saw 4 flashing white lights in sky.

Pulled over into the front lot of the old Diamond Hill Plywood factory in Darlington SC when I saw 4 pulsing white lights in the sky. Initially I thought they were a triangle ship, but they eventually drifted into a more irregular shape over a couple minutes. No sound. I'm one town over from a nuclear power plant and have seen a variety of ufos in previous years but never had a phone on me at the time or thought about it. Tonight I did. I have video.

At one point I do shift from vertical to horizontal so I can zoom in, which didn't net me much detail, but does frame the shot better.
Thanks for your service!

We don’t know what it is, but Reddit said to file a report, so here we are. They form an unfinished chevron shape, almost like a candy cane? They are white and yellow and they flickered in and out.

Saw an orange, shimmering, shifting, maybe even gaseous, ball of light traveling across the sky.

The object was very high in the sky, but was much larger than a blinking light on a plane. In fact, you could have fit 15 or 20 of those lights inside of it. It was orange and constantly shifting but still maintaining a circular ball shape. Certain points of it seemed to almost be so bright that it was like reflecting the sun, but it was dark with no other light sources. It was floating across the sky, again, at an extremely high altitude, and I ran inside to get my phone and it was gone by the time I got back outside. I’ve seen satellites, weird reflective clouds, and all sorts of things, but this was amazing. I’m hoping someone else saw it and got a video. I’ve never seen anything remotely like it in my 50 years of living. After staring at the sky for a few minutes to see if it would return, I noticed a plane flying along the exact same course

Watched one by one, eight seperate ufos originate from same starting point to the north (i think) of my home. They each flew along the airport path, east southeast, I believe, and disappeared once they gathered behind a giant cloud. All accelerated rapidly, and changed direction in a not normal plane-like manner. Watched as green propulsion came out of several as they made their way to join up together. Appeared to be circular, but too far away to tell for certain. Happened over a span of about 10-15 minutes and then I didn't see anymore. Occurred on November 2nd, 2024 at around 5:25am. I was the only observer.

Bright ball of light seen from a distance on the horizon moving slowly SW, we quickly faded away

While walking towards my car looking towards the northwest, I saw a bright white round light on the horizon. This ball of light seemed large and very bright and must have been miles away. The sky was entirely clear with no clouds and the sun was maybe an hour away from setting. I watched as the light moved slowly towards the southwest for 5 to ten seconds when it faded and vanished over about half a second. It seemed to briefly reappear seconds later for only a moment before disappearing again. I waited about two minutes and there was no sign of any aircraft in the direction. I could see other airplanes in the general area clearly. The ball of light appeared similar to a bright planet on a dark night, maybe larger.

This light really caught my eye, as I had never seen such a bright round light in broad daylight. I have seen airplanes catching and reflecting the sun, and I can't rule that out. This seemed far too bright and large.

I am a geologist with plenty of outdoors time and have seen plenty of funny lights that I know are manmade. This felt different.

NUFORC Note:

Adjusted the reported time of 6:05 AM to 6:05 PM based on the statement that the sun was an hour awyay from setting.

Lights in Sky Going in Pattern, Pausing Then Moving Again

Me, my fiancé, and our 2 young children were out on the back porch letting the dog out and when I looked up there was 3 lights going in a pattern in the sky. They were way too big and way too fast to be planes. At one point they stopped in a triangular formation for about 5 minutes before they began to move again in the same pattern.

Odd-shaped craft like a teapot with no spout and no handle, the top was brown, rest was silver color.

Had dinner reservations at 6 PM and sat down. Husband immediately pointed out an odd-shaped UFO that was moving toward us at a lower elevation slightly lower than we were. It was daylight and I turned to look to see it and it was very odd looking. There were no propellers, no wings, no type of visible propulsion. It didn't look like anything I had ever seen or heard of before and I have been a certified investigative researcher for UAP for several years. It certainly did not look like anything I would want to be in if it was some type of homemade device given the elevation of the Inn was 5,000 ft and only forest was around, but no type of propulsion was visible. It moved in below us slightly to the left and disappeared in the area below us. The restaurant was full and there had to be other observers than just the people at our table. The area is known to have UFOs of many types.

Angle of elevation - unknown due to the position we were in versus where it was located above the mountains.
Direction from viewer - the restaurant faces west for setting sun, it was west of us when spotted. The object was headed east toward us.
At the point it disappeared in forest below us, it would have been difficult to estimate distance since we don't know, but it could have been thousands of feet or much further, difficult to know at that angle and without knowing what was below us.
Estimated Size, based on holding finger out to gauge, and holding a full-size aspirin, I would say that's the proportion of size to where we were when we saw it.
Speed - I have no way to compare the speed for this, it was fast and smooth.

When my husband told me to look, and leaves were changing color already, picking this out among the trees and ridges was only possible because it was so odd looking that it stood out. I wish I had gotten a photo, but attempting to get it I knew would be nearly impossible with the speed it was going and I wanted a good look at it to know what I saw.

Please see my report

Background - Since 2019, I have experienced and documented wild, nightly UAP phenomenon. These encounters follow me from place to place, including during international travel, resulting in vast and unparalleled sightings & experience. The nightly events are characterized by consistent object descriptions, flight patterns, and behavioral traits. The longevity and consistency of these encounters offer a unique window into the nature of UAPs and related phenomena. I welcome collaboration with experts to further validate and analyze this extraordinary phenomenon.

Why Now? - I am coming forward now as I prepare to return to a metropolitan area within a large city following the career related impacts post pandemic. I am concerned that others may witness the UAP phenomenon and sophisticated surveillance during this time. My fear is that the tipping point of public awareness is unknown, and I could eventually be tracked to my home, leading to unwanted attention from individuals flocking to my residence and the surrounding area.

About Me - With both undergraduate and graduate degrees in finance & economics, I’ve built a successful career in financial services with top-tier firms in money management and investment banking. As a dedicated father of three, ages 12 to 17, I support my children’s diverse interests in motocross, horseback riding, and competitive cheer. All three of my children are in the honor roll. I have no history of mental illness and have enjoyed a stable, fulfilling marriage for 18 years.
Where I Live - We live in an upscale community of mostly college-educated residents, with homes valued from $500,000 to over $1,000,000. Our town boasts top-rated schools and Blue-Ribbon accreditation. Our home is valued at $850,000.
Why am I Telling You This - This background hopefully highlights the reliability and credibility of the material you are hearing about.
Transparency and Authenticity - My commitment to transparency and authenticity ensures that our findings are grounded in real experiences, fostering a deeper understanding of UAPs and their potential implications. I’ve included a variety of still screenshots however, a YouTube Channel has been created where I’ll continue to post videos.

Metadata Confirmation & Validation - Upon expressing interest, I will provide original photos and video recordings, complete with metadata, to validate authenticity. Due to the size of video volume, I recommend sharing accessibility to original material over a G-Drive.

In-person Confirmation & Validation - Given the skeptical nature of the subject matter. Seeing is believing arrangements are welcome to see it for yourself. Confirmation and validation can easily be accomplished in person on any night.

Please consider arranging for a conference call (phone call), Google-Meets & / or any preferred method of communication you’d like. I am eager to discuss this in person.

I read your website & found you to be the most down to earth (no pun intended) and relatable professional in this field. I felt comfortable breaking anonymity.

You won’t be disappointed & can guarantee you live in person and experience yourself. I eagerly wait to hear from you soon. Cautiously optimistic & looking forward to it.

Color: Orange and white

Angle of Elevation: 30
Characteristics: Lights on object

Bright, orange lights over the ocean seen with erratic, white lights.

At roughly 9:30p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, June 11th, 2024, my partner and I both witnessed something that neither of us can explain. We were seating on the beach on the northern point of Pawleys Island, South Carolina and stargazing when we witnessed the following phenomena.

In the distance, over the ocean, we saw two bright, orange lights appear in the sky to the east/north-east. They were larger than stars and shone for roughly two to three seconds, unmoving in the sky, before fading. We initially suspected that these might be flares and continued watching the sky. My attention was, then, very shortly afterwards, drawn more directly above our heads when I caught a single, white light blinking in my periphery. We watched the area of the sky and saw it blink again in a different location. It was about the size and brightness of a large star and it was difficult to discern how far in the sky it was (it seemed far due to its size). We continued to watch and noted that the object moved erratically around in the sky, blinking randomly (we counted the seconds in between each blink and couldn't discern any pattern) and moving in a way that no aircraft could (to our knowledge). There may have been two different origins of the light, but it was impossible to determine due to its speed.

It wasn't long until our attention was immediately back towards the horizon in front of us, where three more orange lights appeared. This time, they appeared in a triangle formation. They remained illuminated for a few seconds before gradually fading. In the meantime, the white light was continually blinking intermittently. A few minutes later, two more orange lights appeared on the horizon. They, too, faded, but one seemed to drift in a sine-like pattern before disappearing.

We could've waited to witness more, but I was very fearful after a period of pure shock, and I encouraged my partner to leave with me.

We were completely alone on the side of the beach that we were sitting on. There was no noise associated with this sighting. The horizon was fully dark but unobstructed by clouds.

Blinking light. It blinked very fast every couple of seconds. Blinked so fast impossible to freeze frame to see it.

About an hour prior to sunrise looking directly SSE over horizon of Atlantic Ocean from the beach, I observed very bright blinking light moving around between blinks. The duration of the actual blink was extraordinarily brief. Impossible to freeze frame it.

It disappered and reappeared over about 15 minutes. Finally, it got EXTREMELY bright and looked to separate into 2 separate objects with some red light visible but immediately disappeared and was not seen again.

Diamond shaped, matte dark grey, solid, massive

We were heading south on hwy 391 towards the Saluda traffic circle and my wife and I saw the most massive "thing" in the sky that we have ever seen. We came over a hill and saw it for about 2 or 3 seconds before it went behind the trees. This object appeared to be stationary and we assumed once we passed the tree line we would again see it and video it. About 20 seconds later we were in a wide open clearing and there was nothing there. It was completely gone. It made no sense. Even if it had flown a considerable distance, we would have seen this thing once we got in the opening. It was pretty featureless. It sort of reminded me of the state of SC shape, as it didn't appear to be portionately correct and may have had a rutter or something small (in comparison to the object) at the bottom. If a large airplane was next to it, this thing would dwarf it 10,20, maybe 100 fold. It could have been the size of a small town depending on the distance. It almost seemed like a hologram as the background of the clouds was very white and overcast. This was vivid and below the clouds and there was no denying what we saw.

Object was translucent, traveling northwest, much faster than familiar aircraft, and large.

On 3 April 2024 at 9PM, my wife and adult son were hanging out in the backyard. I was looking at the sky. My wife and son were not looking at the sky at the time. I saw an object. It was extremely difficult to see. It appeared translucent and its colors matched the sorrounding sky. It was difficult to identify any specific shape due to parts of the object fading in and out of the background. It distorted the sky, but I could see it. Most of the time, which was only 4-6 seconds, it was boomerang shaped. It was traveling faster, maybe two times faster, than any aircraft I’ve seen. It was traveling mostly north and slightly west. It appeared at a higher altitude than the many military fighters that pass over us. It was much lower than the commercial aircraft landing at Savannah Hilton Head Airport who pass over us.

I immediately pointed and called out that there’s a UFO. My wife turned and searched the direction I was pointing. The object was extremely difficult to see. It kept blending within its surroundings. I called out that its invisible and corrected myself later that I should have said it was translucent. Neither my wife or son saw it. It made no sound.

My wife and I satellite hunt at times. I mention this because she is often fast at spotting any movement in the night sky. I wish to emphasize why I called out immediately. I knew there was a chance she would see it. I knew she would reflexively turn and search. And I knew immediately I was seeing a UFO.

I thought it could be ours with a type of cloaking. I couldn’t explain there being no sound especially that low moving that fast.

The only additional information I can offer is our location to give an easy perception. If you were to follow the coast of Georgia north into South Carolina and slightly leaned left/west continuing north toward North Carolina, that would be the direction of the object.

Orb of fire flew/floated silently over and past me to meet up with a second

I was getting home from the grocery store after work. I was about to pull in to my drive way. Looking left (south) I saw an orange ball of light. It was low, maybe 100 to 200 feet above the trees. Maybe 150 yards away. Thinking it was odd I slowed to a stop to give it a good look. My window was down and I heard nothing. I opened the vehicle door, pulled out my mobile phone and began recording. It looked like a tumbling ember from a camp fire moving through the air with the forward moving direction side having multiple short “arms” reaching out randomly. Or maybe like a fire turned on its side with most of the flames being horizontal. It was following the direction of the power lines moving roughly south to north. Passing almost directly over me it then passed behind some trees and was out of view for a few seconds. Next I saw the orb I noticed a second orb and the first was moving toward the other similar orb. Seeing a second one made me immediately think military because I usually see aircraft in pairs. Mind racing, I went from a million miles an hour in my brain to disappointment. I stopped recording. Still watching the orbs I realized that the second orb as stationary and seemed to be waiting for the other. I was now thinking I was mistaken about my assessment. The first orb then stopped and both were just sitting there silent About 3 seconds later the first orb disappeared in a blink of an eye by shrinking down to nothing. I ran to my front door unlocking it quickly knowing I had my night vision device just inside the door. By the time I made it back out the other orb as gone as well.

Unmoving blinking light.

I observed a blinking light (very much like aircraft) in the same spot in the sky for about 30 mins until I had to go to work. It never stopped blinking and it never moved. The light would only flash about every 1 minute and 10 seconds to 1 minute and 15 seconds. I'm not sure of exact space between blinks as I was counting on my own. The light never moved from the same location which was approx. at M4 (according to Google Skymaps). The light seems to be coming from an altitude of satellites or further. Reason for report is that the object stays in the same location. I've never seen that before.

White object in the sky over Myrtle Beach

I was doing yardwork when I noticed in a corner of my eye on the sunny beautiful day out here there’s a white object floating in the sky about 60,000 feet I started videotaping the object it changed shapes on me. It barely moved. It went from looking like a jellyfish to look like a TicTac and it kept changing shapes I went on Facebook to see if there was anything on it and of course the news media was on there asking the public if they knew what it was or have they seen anything. I reported my video to the local news and they claimed it was a weather balloon from Albuquerque New Mexico, but this balloon kept changing shapes, so I don’t believe it was a weather balloon.

What I thought was a crescent moon; ended up recording something else!

Well I sometimes will record video of the sky mostly at night and I thought i was witnessing a really bright crescent moon but it was some kind of large craft and looked like something was open and it was letting smaller crafts out and it even looked like some things were going in the craft and then like out of a sci-fi movie the hatch or what not closes and then you can see the craft fly off into the distant space. A couple of key facts is unbelievably when i went to view it outside most of it could not be seen clearly with the naked eye but was visible due to the night vision on the camera. ALSO I would like to add that i have been a witness to multiple sightings of the only way I can describe them is In certain areas and in certain images I see these mostly metallic looking spheres shiny and smooth surface and of different sizes but mostly about anywhere from a couple foot in diameter to about several feet and the colors usually depend on environment possibly because of a reflective surface

Over the last summer, in this exact same siting area, I visually saw a stationary v-formation of five ufos…

Observed amber lights dancing in the sky with a green drone, creating a mesmerizing cosmic scene for 5 minutes.

Witnessed a mesmerizing celestial display tonight as unidentified objects adorned the sky. Initially, a singular amber-orange light gracefully danced, casting an ethereal glow. Its transient presence was followed by the emergence of two more enigmatic entities, creating an awe-inspiring cosmic ballet. Amidst this celestial spectacle, a green drone or helicopter traversed the firmament, momentarily converging with one of the luminous amber orbs, creating a momentary illusion of celestial convergence. This captivating cosmic performance unfolded across various sections of the night sky, enchanting the observer for a duration of approximately 5 minutes. In the middle of writing this i was able to get it on video not the best camera but it should help.

The time was around 7:25pm till now, 7:48 PM. It's still on.

Light was observed, likely stationary then it just extinguished and disappeared

I was a passenger with my wife traveling by car to see "The Christmas House" in Inman, SC on Dec 14. I am a retired 29 year Navy vet with heavy aviation background. It was just before official twilight time. As we were heading North on Compton Bridge Rd I noticed off to my right at about 030, my 1330 o'clock relative position, a single light in the sky and roughly 15 degrees above the horizon. Being a licensed pilot and having spent much time flying and in and around airplanes and airports I thought it was just a aircraft landing light and likely heading to either GSP or GMU airports near Greenville, SC. I didn't give it much thought but glanced at it every 20-30 seconds expecting it to likely cross my path overhead. It didn't seem to be changing position or getting any closer after a few minutes so I started to think that it might be further away than I had thought it to be and coming straight at me. I started to watch it for longer periods of time to try and determine a relative motion. I also noticed that the "landing" light appeared to be larger than a normal general aviation aircraft landing light would look like at night from 10-15 miles out. I looked away for a couple of seconds to say something to my wife. As I returned to watching the "aircraft" the light went out within a few seconds after. No filament fade out, it just instantaneously vanished. It was then that I noticed no strobe or position lighting remaining at all. This was a totally clear night. All aircraft have to have their lights on especially at night and no pilot would ever purposefully turn off all of their lights in the air! I must have uttered a comment to my self. The wife asked me what's wrong and I said that the "aircraft" I was just watching vanished. Even though there was a small amount of background twilight left I could not discern any solid shape where the light had been. I kept looking but no movement, shape or lights ever reappeared. I'll have to chalk this one up as my second UFO observation, my first being around 1975 with 3 of my friends. That one made the local newspaper. We were interviewed about it.

This craft was soundless, seemed to float extremely quickly across sky as if it was water

We often enjoy star gazing from our hot tub at night and because my husband works in aviation we like to guess where airplanes are heading and then check them on a radar to see who is closest. This craft was disk or space shaped and was traveling south at a high rate of speed. It was soundless and moved more like it was in water than the sky. It was made of lights but they were not blinking or alternating and were nothing like airplane lights. I would say that it was more or less glowing as it slid across the sky. I first thought it was a shooting star but once my eyes adjusted I realized it was just a fast and unrecognizable craft sliding across the sky. Although it was quick, I had enough time to point it out to my husband and he saw it too and agreed with me that it was a UFO. It’s such a cool, exciting, and eerie feeling!

I woke up on the couch in my living room, to seeing changing colors of lights coming from above the house from outside my window. I remember looking at my phone and it said it was 4:54 am but I don’t remember anything after. I then woke up again in a panic, around 6:20 am, not remembering until later in the day what I had seen.
