I saw a very distinct Triangle in the sky and then noticed a second one, to the right.

It was a clear night and lots of stars, but I saw a very bright set of lights blinking in the shape of a triangle and then noticed another to the right and higher in the sky, but not as bright. They were not moving. I was very intrigued but went back to bed. I have never seen anything like this before and wished I had gotten the camera as my husband suggested.

Baseball size light transforms then disappears

Looking north out of my window this morning, I noticed a sudden bright white light just below the tree line. It was a clear morning and the light was a few miles away about the size of a baseball. It traveled east towards NH for a few seconds, shrank down to the size of a star, then disappeared.

Square lights in sky

Upon stargazing yesterday morning I noticed four red and yellowish white lights close together moving from east to west in the sky. There was no visible shape but the formation of the lights seemed odd. It was about the altitude and speed of a commercial aircraft but the square formation of lights did not look like any aircraft I’ve seen before. This is not the first time I’ve seen activity near my house.

I saw one of them also follow alongside what looked like a plane before it disappeared. 3/10/25 i saw a disc like bright flashing light hovering at the horizon and then disappear. Several minutes later I saw this orb light coming up from the horizon and disappearing in to the sky.

Location: South Burlington, VT, USA
Location details: On the bridge Shelburne Rd takes over Interstate 189

Shape: Orb
Color: Orange
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: Northwest
Angle of Elevation: 70


Bright, fiery orange orb slowly making its way from southeast, stopping briefly several times before continuing.

I was walking along Shelburne Road (rt. 7) passing Shelburne Road Shopping Plaza. A bright orange light caught my eye partially obscured through the trees. I am a pretty big aviation and astronomy nerd, usually if I see what I think is a plane I’ll check my flight radar app on my phone out of curiosity. In this case I confirmed there were no aircraft in that area of the sky. I chalked it up to be a planet or star since I could not see it clearly through the trees and it did not appear to be moving. Although I was a bit confused since this light was VERY bright and far more fiery orange than Mars would appear. As I mentioned I am a bit of an astronomy nerd, so I am pretty familiar with what Mars looks like in the night sky.

As I continued on foot southbound along route 7, I came to where the road crosses over interstate 189. At this point on the bridge I had a much fuller view of the sky. I was able to view the bright orange orb completely unobscured. It was at this time that I noticed that it was in fact moving relative to the stars behind it. It was moving slowly but noticeably to the southeast. From where I was viewing it, the orb appeared to be high over Lake Champlain. The orb moved very consistently in a straight line. As I continued to observe it, I noticed several times that the orb appeared to stop in place for around a minute and then continue on in the same direction at the same speed. It did this several times as it traversed the sky. Eventually I lost sight of it though some trees as it entered the eastern sky, but it still continued at the same speed and direction until I lost sight.

I frequently go out at night to spot satellites, especially right after sunset. I am familiar with how fast they move to an observer and how bright they are in the sky. This object was not a satellite. It was extremely bright, brighter than even the ISS appears. It was moving FAR slower than a satellite ever could and it’s color was that of almost an artificial orange glow, not sunlight reflecting off of a metal object.

Orb-Like object appeared above the Big Dipper and moved southwards in Earth direction at a high rate of speed before curving at a sharp angle slightly to the West before it left my field of view. A second orb appeared shortly after moving nearly perpendicular to the first one before curving to the South and matching a near parallel line. The orbs appeared whitish or bluish in color and night sight on my phone captured a distinct Blue hue, that may not be the true color though.

Lights moving unusually in sky around Starlink satellite line

I am an early riser. In my normal, early morning scan from my kitchen window of the environment, for wild animals) and the night sky (I was a sailor), I saw the dominant Big Dipper. Following it's handle a ways, there was a straight line, east to west, of 10-12 vertical lights, slowly moving. Another light would join from the top as the bottom lights disappeared into the horizon. Maybe every 5-10 seconds. I had never seen Starlink prior to this, and had to look that up later. The other phenomena in the sky, were also white moving star-lights, often perpendicular to Starlink. They moved easily in any direction, often north to south and then changing course immediately in the opposite direction. Sometimes those lights would come together, or seeminlgy near to one another and then separate in opposite directions. This went on until 5:30am when the light from the sun impacted star visibility. Normal aircraft, to my knowledge, cannot move in the ways these lights were moving. Sometimes there might be about 5 or 6 of those in various parts of the sky at the same time. It was hard to keep count as I was also keenly aware of the moving vertical line. I did see a normal satellite or two moving very slowly much further out, and a few very distant airplanes with that blinked, in the normal air traffic route for here.

32 degree temp, no wind, crystal clear night. Appeared NW of my position and appeared to be N Burlington airport where nuclear jets are

LEO working on midnight shift. I look at the sky and stars often on clear nights because the are in which I live and work is a great viewing area. The night in question I saw a flashing object in the distance, very small, so it appeared to be far away. I’ve worked much of my career at night, so I understand how difficult it can be to judge distance/size, as depth perception can vary. The round object was flashing white, blue, red and green and appeared to be still at first the began moving up, down, side to side and on an angle. I watched it for 5-10 minutes, but it was cold and I had case work to do. I continued to check out the window if it was still there, but it disappeared after about 15 minutes. There are stars in the vicinity, but not where the object was spotted, stars not visible to me that is.

The second sighting of a similar object was seen on 12/14/2024 around 2030. I was getting ready to leave for the office for my shift. While taking my dogs out, I saw a flashing object again. The temperature was 13 degrees Fahrenheit, mostly clear, with multiple stars visible. The object was again NW of my position, higher in the sky than before again appeared to be North of the Vermont Burlington airport where Nuclear fighter jets are housed and train from.

I got out my telescope to see if I could view it more clearly. It appeared disk shaped and appeared to be rocking up and down / side to side, as in a scanning motion. I watched it for approximately 5 minutes, but it was very cold and I had to get to work. Once at the office (which is in the landing flight line for BTV), I scanned the sky to the north where I believed the object should be, but didn’t see it. I do not know if it was due to the lower elevation of the office or if the object had disappeared.

The video that is 1:48 in length is from 11/20/24. The longer video is from Saturday 12/14/24

Sentient phenomena experiences time line of events

My first experience with this phenomena was at the age of nine years old. We lived in New York City at the time when a friend of my mom invited us to her new home in Puerto Rico, the Salinas Paracelis region. I was very excited; it was my first airplane experience. After arriving, Mom and her friend spent time catching up on things, and I wandered off exploring the area and admiring how beautiful everything was. I saw my first rainbow that day. There was a small stream in the back of my mom's friend's house. I recall going to the right of it, following the path and just exploring. The land area opened to a big valley and tall grass, which made it hard to see because it was much taller than I was. I continued walking till, after a while, the tall grass cleared.



The land went downhill into a valley and was very beautiful. As I cleared a small bushy area, in front of me stood a very tall woman and a boy dressed in dark grey clothing or a dull white color. They were just standing there like they were expecting me. I remember saying hello and waving at them. I think the woman smiled, sort of, and put her hand on my right shoulder, and the boy took my left hand. We walked into a large, dull grey structure. I recall looking around, and the boy motioned for me to sit next to him. He sat on my left side, and the woman sat in front of us, just looking at me. She gave me and the boy something to eat. I don’t know where the food came from; it was just there before us. It was white, I recall, with a very light, airy taste but really good.

Then the boy asked her, “Can we keep him?” It was the first time he spoke. She stared at me for a long time and said to him, “They are searching for him.” I think he asked again, but she said no. She guided me out of the structure we were in. She stood behind me with her hands on my shoulders and instructed me to go in a certain direction, pointing to a big tree on a hill on the left side, telling me to go in that direction and down the hill. She said, “Go straight; they will find you.” She put her hand through my hair, just staring at me. The boy pulled me toward him, placed his forehead on the top of my head, and held my hands. I began to walk in the direction she instructed me to go. I stopped and looked back at them; they were standing close to each other. I waved at them, began to walk a few more steps, and looked back again, and they were gone, as well as the grey structure we were in. After a while of walking, I heard people calling out my name. As I walked into the clearing, I saw a lot of people walking around the land before the road. I yelled, “Mom! Mom! Over here!”

She saw me and was crying and very upset with me for wandering off like that. There were a lot of people and some army guys, everyone asking me where I was and if I was okay. I told them I was with my friends. Mom asked me questions, then the army guy interrupted my mom and asked me a lot of things. Afterwards, they went off in the direction I had come from, four of them, army personnel. Mom said that I was gone for hours, but honestly, it didn’t seem that I was away that long. I never felt threatened or afraid. Thinking back, the structure was a large cylindrical structure. I’m very light-skinned like my mom; I have amber hazel eyes. My mom’s eyes are hazel. The woman and boy did not look like the area people in that region; they were lighter than I was, rather pale. Who or what were they? I don’t know, but I do feel to this very day that they were nothing like us.

When I was 12, I saw a huge cylindrical object in the night flying at a 45-degree angle in Pennsylvania. The sighting lasted for about 7 or 8 minutes. It hovered, then shot across the large moon in the background, fast going east. When I was 16, on the way back from Pennsylvania with my parents going back to New York, around 3 in the morning on a dark road, an object hovered above our car, following us for a few minutes. It was an amazing sight. It was circular and had large lights on the outside perimeter and smaller lights in the inside ring, spinning counterclockwise to the top outer ring. Then it just shot up, and it was gone. There wasn’t any sound at all. I had a strange sensation of being in a soundproof room as it was above our car.

When I was 27, I was with my girlfriend, lying in bed. We were looking at the events for the music fest, and we were excited about certain musical artists that were on the schedule. It was early morning when I felt a strange sensation behind me as I was lying on my left side. My girlfriend was looking at the music fest pamphlet as I felt this. I glanced down to the front of the bed and saw a dull mist moving toward us slowly. There was no sound, only silence. There were very subtle lights in the mist as it continued to come over the foot of the bed. I told my girlfriend, “Hon, I’m going to tell you something, but stay calm, don’t panic, okay?” She looked at me, wondering what I was going to say. I told her, “Look down to the front of the bed.” When she did, she grabbed my arm and hands and said, “What is that?” as the mist now crept up more, covering our feet. I held her tightly and simply said, “Don’t be afraid.” We both simply watched it as it continued to travel over us very slowly. We could no longer see the parts of our bodies that the mist covered.

It was covering our chest area, and I felt her tighten her grasp on me. The last thing she said to me was, “I can’t see you! I can’t see you!” I calmly responded, “Don’t be afraid.” Then I recall being in the mist. It felt like the sensation of being moved; there was no point of reference. It felt like we were the mist itself. I couldn’t feel any physical sensation at all. The last thing I recall was lights and darkness and what looked like a star-filled night sky, which filled me with awe and comfort. Then I lost consciousness. I was the first one that came to. I was watching my girlfriend when she suddenly propped up like some sort of puppet. I recall she looked down at me in a strange way, like she didn’t recognize me. Then she actually slid off the bed in a very awkward fashion, went down the stairs. Her walking didn’t seem natural. She was barefoot on the wood floor, but her footsteps were heavy, unnatural. When I went downstairs, she was asleep on the couch in the living room. I just sat next to her, caressing her head.

We never spoke of it and told no one of the event. We didn’t even bring it up to each other until years later. She became a pastor, and we had a get-together, and we looked at each other. She asked me if I still remember the mist. I said yes. I asked her what she recalled, and I told her what I recalled. We both learned we had like 9 pin pricks on our left pinky, identical, like right under the skin layer. She felt that it was something they did to us. I never really thought much about it. I wanted to share some of my experiences with you; there are other things which occurred, but no need to list them here.

Articles talk about aerial sightings,but there are also events that are happening on the ground to other's, and I really don’t blame anyone for not revealing their experiences,despite the nut jobs that ruin it for everyone who has had legitimate experiences. Were they aliens ? I don’t know.

Location details: Driving on 127 Beltway North, saw in Northwest sky. Lat/Lon 44.514811682924844,-73.23635122142967

Shape: Light
Color: Yellow
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: NNW
Angle of Elevation: 60
Characteristics: Lights on object, Left a trail

Saw what looked like a very bright shooting star, but then it stopped, sat in place, and started flashing for about 15 seconds.

I was driving north on the 127 Beltline in Burlington, Vermont heading toward Colchester. There was another car tailgating me, or else I would have pulled over for a better look. While I was driving, as I came around the slight corner and crossed under the pedestrian bridge (see the map), I saw this object.

Initially, it appeared to be a very bright shooting star at about 60 degrees in a north northwest direction. It was a very bright yellow streak in the sky that formed quickly from right to left (i.e. from east to west) and slightly descending, perhaps about 15 degrees. In the sky, it appeared to me around 3-4 inches in length. The streak did not move once it appeared however, it streaked in the sky then disappeared in place after around 2 seconds. I still thought for a moment it was a very bright shooting star, so I kept my eye on the area in case of another.

Instead, at the origin point of the streak, a flashing light appeared. It appeared to be a singular round yellow light roughly one centimeter in diameter in my vision. It was solid, but blinked out then back on again four times. After the fourth blink, it disappeared. During the flashing, it was on for a few seconds, then blinked out for around 3/4 - 1 second. It flashed with a consistent rhythm--that is to say, it was on for what appeared to be the same duration and blinked off for the same duration each time until it disappeared. During this flashing, the object did not move in the sky at all. It was totally fixed in place.

Because it was at about 60 degrees up from me, it was difficult to gauge distance. It could have been a small object sitting 200 feet up or a large object at 1000 feet. Because of the airport close by part of me thought it may be an aircraft, but the initial streak and flashing stationary light at the origin point of said streak is unlike anything I have ever seen from an aircraft. I also did not see any aircraft in the area in the sky at the time of this incident.

Hovering rotating bright object on a clear blue sky day without clouds. Object hovered and then would disappear to reappear nearby.

While picking up my son with my 11 year old daughter from daycare she noticed something in the sky and said "dad! What is that?!" At first I could not see it as it was far away but then we stood and watched it and it was clearly not a plane or helicopter. Looked to be a metallic diamond rotating that change shape and brightness. Was metallic or chrome and appeared to intermittently reflect the sun and change shape. In disbelief I went to the other teachers who confirmed they also could see it and were perplexed by what it was. It moved up and down in altitude or side to side. We all watched for 30-40 minutes while taking photos and videos with a google 9 pro XL smartphone which is the current best for resolution. We had to reluctantly eave to get my other child but was still visible at that time around 3:45. When we got home two army helicopters were flying away from that direction close to my house. That evening my daughter was complaining of eye pain like a stie or pink eye but the following day it had gotten better interesting because she was the first one to notice this object. She has much better eyes then me at 11 versus 52 where I saw something blurry or organic to pyramid shape she described a jellyfish that changed shape and color.

Witnessed 2 inverted bowl shaped craft with very bright rotating flashing lights - white, green, red

Aprox 10:15 pm we saw a hovering object with blinking lights. Using binoculars we clearly saw an inverted bowl shaped craft of large size - larger than a commercial airliner. It was rapidly rotating with bright flashing white, green and red lights. Craft was clearly and easily seen with binocs. Hovered for at least 15 minutes then move further away. Then we noticed another of the same craft off to the right of the original which became more distant. We were viewing out our west facing condo window. We have seen identical crafts for many years at our previous location in Hyde Park VT. However this was the best view of this craft where we could very clearly see the shape as an inverted bowl or maybe a rounded triangle.

Very bright yellow light in the low sky that changed to a very dim red blinking light

Sitting in my living room looking out westward toward West Fairlee where there was a very bright yellow light in the low sky, probably 4-6 miles away moving very slowly from the west toward the south. I stepped outside on the patio as it was really bright, see small planes all the time in the area but this did not have a visible shape or making any sound. Right after I stepped outside to look an actual plane flew south to north, red & green blinking lights and could hear the delayed engine sound, the bright light was still to the west when even further out west I hear a fighter jet flying north from south(common sight)...as soon as I heard the jet sound, the bright yellow light immediately faded out to a barely noticeable blinking red light that i had to really squint to see. I tried to keep eyes on it as it moved to the south until it was out of my field of sight, no sound of engines or anything..silent

Small circular object in sky with flashing lights which hovered about 5-10 miles away in the sky for 40 minutes

Saw a flying circle object which I intentionally believed to be geological survey lights from the nearby mountain but realized it wasn't that, it was hovering in the SE direction and moving slowly towards Hanover, NH. It had flashing lights that were not fast or slow just changing color subtly.

Tried to sight it on a telescope but could not zoom in on time before it disappeared. 3 aircraft in Lebanon/Hanoever area on radar but not anywhere near where it was.

Strange fast moving blinking lights on horizon which was too silent for a regular aircraft

I went to lock up my chickens in my backyard. I live in a rural part of town and the sky was dark with no stars visible. I saw two strange lights moving and blinking at a speed way too fast for a regular airplane of that height. I’m an army veteran too and can tell whether it’s a regular air craft or not. I’ve seen these lights before and this was one of the first times I was able to get it on camera. The nearest airport is too small for fast moving aircraft, and the nearest big one (BTV) doesn’t generally have fast moving planes but I’ve seen some F35’s, however those planes are very loud and these lights were dead silent.

I did not see a UFO. I experienced an extraterrestrial.

I don't expect any reader to believe this, but I have had regular experiences with beings who don't have human forms (for the past 7 years or so) who seem to be from places other than Earth. One has made regular contact with me for the past couple of years, and this morning he appeared very powerfully during my meditation and said that I should report my experience with him through a website, and that the website would not be a government-run one but that certain people from the government would be reviewing the information. He told me to report that he is Centaurion (from Centaurus, I assume) and that he can provide information about technology that will enable humans to identify non-human frequencies or energy or something like that (energy with ET origins on Earth). I'm not a scientist, so I don't really know anything about that. Anyway, I recognize that I probably sound either delusional or like a conspiracy theorist, and I am neither, though I don't expect you to believe that via this submission. I should mention that this particular being does not appear in a solid form and is not discernible to most people.

Stationary blinking light, then exceptionally fast traveling light

As I was looking out of a skylight in my house, I saw a blinking light that I thought was an airplane, but the blinking was a different frequency than an airplane and it was only white, not white and red (not navigation lights). Then the blinking stopped. Then, the light lit up and flew away to the north faster than anything I’ve ever seen in the sky. It wasn’t a shorting star - the chances of looking up and seeing a blinking light and then a “shooting star” in the same place in the sky at the same time are impossibly small.

Green light flash in the sky approx 100 yards from intersection on a diamond-esque, dark colored shape low in the sky, vanished

I was driving to work and noticed a green light flash in the sky as I came up a hill before Lake rd turn, it flashed twice and appeared to be on the "nose" of a large diamond-esque shaped dark craft that was very low in the sky, much lower than a small plane would fly, it was maybe 10-15 seconds and it just vanished. It didn't propel forward, up, or down, just vanished. There was an 18-wheel truck headed north at the same time that braked heavily at the same time I did but then proceeded on. I slowly turned onto Lake Rd but didn't notice anything else.

Moving light amongst the stars

At 530 in the morning, my wife and I went for a walk before sunrise. On our way home, we noticed a light in the sky that was moving in a weird direction. Stopping and observing for a moment, noticing it may be a drone we continued on our way asking who would be flying and why since we live on a farm away from people. After using my military training and using flight apps available nothing was in the air above our location and the light was moving in a non aircraft way. After arriving home I watched for a good 10 mins before grabbing my phone and started taking pics. I then zoomed in and noticed something not of this worlds. After recording it and taking pics, the craft hung around until about 705 in the morning when I left to bring my kids to school. I showed other members of my family and asked others what they think of the pictures I saw. Most agree it is something they haven’t seen.

The object in the picture is possibly a Death Star looking item. Lights seemed to be the color of the bottom with possible rotating light. The light was constant on the bottom and was still bright after the stars were no longer available. The craft did maneuver in a zig zag quick circle pattern.

Shape: Fireball
Characteristics: Changed Colo

Bright white light moving south to north almost at the speed of a meteor. Light then began to slow down and changed direction.

While letting my dog outside before bed, I had a very clear view of the stars over the mountains. A bright white star/ meteor like object moved across the sky from south to north. In the eastern sky. This object was moving so much faster than a satellite that there is absolutely no comparison. The object then began to slow down while in the center of my sky view. It then turned from bright white to bright yellow and changed direction to easterly. I could not sense any altitude change from my observation point. After slowing and changing direction it moved eastward for about 4 seconds, then was no longer visible.

This is the third object like this I have seen in our crystal clear vermont night skies in three years the other two came from a westerly direction then slowed and turned northward.

The air was absolutely still and no sound was ever noticed.
I am a professional pilot with many years of viewing aircraft and satellites in the skies. These were something different.

Scared me

My foster children wanted to have a fire and roast marshmallows that night. So we all stayed up late outside by the fire pit. At midnight I brought the kids inside and got them ready for bed, after reading them a book and tucking them in it was very late. I took my dogs outside for one last potty trip before I myself could go to bed.

While outside a bright light caught my eye across the river. I immediately looked up over at it and couldn’t believe what the hell I was seeing. At first it looked like a cigar shape. I let out a scream and the u.a.p seemed to zip closer to me, right above the river. I could see it more clearly. It was round in shape and was lit up all the way around. It hovered above the river. I was so startled by what I was seeing that I picked my two little dogs up and ran into my home. I tried shaking my husband awake yelling about what I had just seen. He yelled at me and told me I was scaring him. ? I ran out of my front door to see if it was still there. I caught it just as it went straight up. I have been out almost every night staring at the sky in hopes of catching a glimpse of something like that again with no luck.

In the summer of 1990 at about 4pm my parents, three of my siblings and several of my cousins and neighbors saw lights in the sky over wheelock Vermont they were zipping back and fourth through the night sky for about 20 minutes and then they were just gone. I know it was not meteors, planes, etc.. Because the lights were lit up cigar looking shapes.

Location: Proctor, VT, USA
Location details: S. corner of 1st floor of 3 story house w/ bsmnt, 10' from road; top of hill; driveway, then inside

Shape: Flash
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Electrical or magnetic effects, Animals reacted

1 30-sec orange glow in driveway seen through blinds around 0330, then orange flash (orb shape?) by the ceiling a few minutes ago.

At approximately 0330 in the morning, I saw an orange light through the blinds in the kitchen looking out into the driveway (at the north corner of the house), at first only a single point of focused light resembling a glowing eye. As soon as I focused on it, the lights in the house flickered and it expanded and faded to an orange glow similar to candlelight, remaining steady for the next 30 seconds or so before disappearing all at once. Immediately before it disappeared, I spoke aloud, saying, "Leave us alone, you're not welcome here." This incident occurred while I was attempting to find information relating to several previous unsettling experiences I have had with entities; I will note that I have never seen something I would consider a UFO before this, only entities (which I have not reported because I worried I might be labelled as a schizophrenic), but I have felt as though I was being watched for almost my entire life, often by an invisible observer which I was absolutely certain was above me despite having no evidence. This morning, I found a single footprint on the hill which was indistinct but clearly left by something with claws; I would think it was left by a bear if not for the complete absence of any other tracks and the orange glow I saw in the night. My dog was very interested in the footprint and followed a scent trail up the hill that abruptly ended out in the open.

I would not have reported this except for a second sighting of either the same (or a similar) object a few minutes ago, which I saw out of the corner of my eye in the upper left of my peripheral vision, superimposed in the west corner of the living room (which is in the south corner of the first floor of the house). This object appeared to be an orange circle/orb surrounded by a clearly delineated black ring which was itself surrounded by a ring of orange light. When the flash occurred, my computer screen and the television screen both briefly froze. My dog also saw the object and has been staring nervously at the area where it appeared since; she has also cautiously approached that corner, where there is a door to the front porch, looking up at the ceiling, barking and growling. My mother walked into the room a moment after the flash and doesn't believe me despite the dog's behaviour.

This coincides with numerous strange occurrences throughout the area, which began about two weeks ago and have been increasing in frequency and strangeness. The incidents started with people feeling watched and seeing large black dogs, then progressed through tapping on windows and scratching at doors, to a lingering smell of sulphur, urine and honey. There have also been several black bear attacks in the area recently, which is highly abnormal, and some people have told me they had seen an abnormally large black bear, about 4 feet tall at the shoulder, who appeared to be stalking them. Most people are acting like nothing is out of the ordinary, but it seems to me that everyone is a little bit more nervous than usual.

As an additional detail, I should note than I am colorblind, having blue cone monochromacy, so although I describe the object's colour as "orange," that is merely how it appeared to me (any wavelength greater than about 500 nm looks either orange or grey to me).

11pm, looking to the sky, the most brilliant thing I've ever seen.

At just about 11pm I saw a UFO. It was the most brilliant thing I've EVER seen. That thing zipped around the Milton area, towards where the fire works were and the dog park is. It cut across the sky with a brilliant white rooster tail, then it would hop across the sky without a tail. It would very quickly appear, then disappear in the blink of an eye. It looked kind of tube like, with no rhyme or reason about which end the tail came out of. This all happened in about 15 seconds, then the craft zipped across the sky heading towards the lights I believe were coming from Essex Junction or even Burlington with a very long tail. I now can rest easy, I KNOW that UFO'S exist. I'm shaking like a leaf as I type this, I'm still in shock. SERIOUSLY, WHO do I call to report this? VTANG? The Burlington Airport? The media? And there is no possibility it was a drone, or even a group of drones. Or fireworks, satellites, or even Starrlink. It was a UFO. HELP!

Color changing, appears to be spinning UFO over Lake Champlain

It was spotted from the bedroom window of a lake house on Lake Champlain. I had just settled in for the night and was innocently gazing out my window, as one does, when I saw it. The object appeared to be spinning as it changed from green to fuchsia to deep purplish blue to teal and back again. It remained stationary in the sky while this took place. It's still in the sky an hour later, though it doesn't feel like an hour has elapsed. My father went outside to see for himself and captured footage of his own.

Once two flashes appeared almost at the same time in the same place (first one flared, second one flared before first disappeared), & then a red light moved away toward the West, & the red light was brief but visible longer than the orange; the red light was much smaller diameter & did not flash as one would see on an airplane. The sky was dark, spotty clouds to the East, stars present high in the sky. These orange lights were not like fireworks nor like aircraft lights. They appeared to be larger than a star, & very bright orange. They appeared & were gone almost immediately. 7 total.

But next thing I know I already let my dog inside and it’s 5:45 AM. I had a very uneasy feeling in my gut so I went inside and locked my doors

Low flying white light moving west to east.

At approx 5:22pm, on 26 Nov 2022, I went out onto my front porch to bring in my flag. As I was rolling up the flag I observed a single bright, white light at low altitude (500ft approx) moving above and to the left of me. I first saw it as it came over the east side of my roof. The light was traveling unusually slow for a common aircraft. There were no common aircraft running lights, no red light, no strobe. It moved from direct west to east. The light was very bright, much brighter than the stars, and appeared to "ray out" in spikes all around it. No structure could be seen. There was a long "spike" of light coming out of the back end (no sparks, fire or debris). There was absolutely no sound from it. As it passed I heard a neighbor's dog start barking (although it must be said that that dog is a constant barker). As the light got closer toward the Island Pond village it very quickly just "faded out". I watched briefly and it did not reappear along the trajectory it was on. It did not change course throughout the sighting.

I went flying at a local high school early Sunday afternoon (10/23/2022). After I went home to view the footage I found this object passing in front of my drone. It looked like a bird at first until I slowed down the footage and noticed it comes from what looks like the tree line (300ft away from the goal post) the object looks to be a smokey ring orb of some kind. The wind was calm with full overcast sky. My camera did not have a NV filter on it. This was recorded at 2.7k 60fps. It looks to be in the video frames 1.04 seconds that I can see. I did not notice any electrical disturbances on my drone.

It was large, turned from coming my way to my right (north), and it looked nothing like an airplane or anything I had seen before. It did not move fast but when turned sideways to me it was blinking alternately all over red and green lights. The lights seemed to be all over the aircraft so it was obviously huge.

at about 1030pm i went out of my cabin to urinate, i happened to look up into the trees when I saw a red circle about 20ish feet up in the trees 1-200 feet from me about the size of a large truck tire from my vantage point. it was as bright as the brightest super moon and appeared to have a smooth surface although it looked solid red on closer inspection it had a bit of orange color on the peripheries id call it fiery (but it was not on fire) it made no discernable sound there was no smell and no loss of time, it appeared to be still After a few minutes I shined a light at it and got no response so I went into my cabin to see it at another angle I turned out all of the lights and could still see it through the window, I turned the lights back on and went in and out several more times to observe. The last time I went back outside, I could see a bright white light slowly rise up through the trees (that light was as bright as the brightest star I have ever seen)
weather was clear with a slight breeze and no clouds at the beginning of the encounter an airplane could be heard and seen off in the distance

at about 1030pm i went out of my cabin to urinate, i happened to look up into the trees when I saw a red circle about 20ish feet up in the trees 1-200 feet from me about the size of a large truck tire from my vantage point. it was as bright as the brightest super moon and appeared to have a smooth surface although it looked solid red on closer inspection it had a bit of orange color on the peripheries id call it fiery (but it was not on fire) it made no discernable sound there was no smell and no loss of time, it appeared to be still After a few minutes I shined a light at it and got no response so I went into my cabin to see it at another angle I turned out all of the lights and could still see it through the window, I turned the lights back on and went in and out several more times to observe. The last time I went back outside, I could see a bright white light slowly rise up through the trees (that light was as bright as the brightest star I have ever seen)
weather was clear with a slight breeze and no clouds at the beginning of the encounter an airplane could be heard and seen off in the distance
the airspace over my cabin is a known military flight path

Fire red pulsating ball

I did not see an object per se. I saw, for lack of a better term, a firey red and orange ball that hung in the sky for about 30 to 45 seconds from when I noticed it, then blinked out. It was literally sparkling. From the distance I saw it, it appeared quite large. I have seen a smaller white light, always just one, in the same area a number of times that does the same thing; just blinks off. This is a very rural area in north central Vermont where we rarely even see a plane. We do have a military practice area nearby but that is in Underhill which is several miles south of us. We've seen the night vision things they send up on a few occasions but this was nothing like that. It was very bright red, sparkling, and just one object.

Large and bright orange flashing light moving strangely

My housemate got my attention and asked me to come outside. She pointed to a bright orange light in the sky to the south of my house. It pulsates sort of and had beams of light making it look almost “furry.” She had been watching it a minute or so before she called me out. She said it had been moving too quickly for a plane. It was much brighter than any sort of star or planet, and flashing/radiating light. It had been moving East to west horizontally but then stopped for a bit before diminishing in size and disappearing to the south.

Disc/Cigar shaped craft floats/hovers over tree line

My cousin was in Vermont on August 19th around 10 o’clock at night with her boyfriend and my grandparents. They were sitting in front of our lakefront cabin on Lake Champlain and they saw a bright cigar/disc shaped object hovering in the sky. My cousin recalls the back of the object having almost like a separate motor that ended up fusing with the main body of the object. The object emitted a bright white light the whole time and made zero noise. It slowly hovered towards our cabin then faded into the night sky.

A double row of white lights that appeared about 6 inches long and 1/2 inch apart (if I held a ruler up) and moving slowly.

I was out taking my dog out for his evening walk and looking up at the clear night sky on this cloudless, moonless night well after the sun had gone down. I noticed a double row of lights moving slowly from west to east. I pulled out my phone to record it on video but my flash light was on so that wasn't possible. So I just kept watching and within 5 or 10 seconds it just disappeared.

If I held my hand out at arms length, the lights were about 6 inches long and about 1/2 in apart. However, since I have no idea how far away it was, I can't have any sense of its actual size.

I'm 66 years old and have my full cognitive abilities. I enjoy looking at the night sky and live in a place with minimal light pollution. And for that reason, when I walk I tend to keep my headlamp off so I can see the stars clearly.

At the time I thought it was odd that my flash was on because I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know how to turn it on, and I just assumed I accidentally turned it on either before or as I tried to do a video recording. But after seeing the question below about electrical effects, I just checked and now the flash is off, which definitely adds to the mystery...

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

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

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Animals reacted

No noise, it was like one big lit up Diamond (like a star- no random lights), dogs were howling, this ufo chased me, dread feeling

Diamond shaped star looking light, I noticed it because it was a slightly different color than the other stars, it looked like a star, same distance, shape etc..
i was staring at it and realizing it was a different color, very slightly more orange than the other stars.

In the time it took me to process that, I realized it had gotten much closer to me. I’m staring at it and the thought crossed my mind that maybe it was an airplane, then I quickly thought no, it has no blinking lights and doesn’t appear like a plane. In the time I thought this, it was plane height and much closer to me now. It had gone from start distance to plane distance.

I suddenly became terrified and had a feeling of dread and horror and went into a panic and took off running towards my apt building (I was at the end of my drive way from my home. About the length of hannafords parking lot in milton vermont) I had a quick thought while running to take a photo but was too terrified to take the time to do it. I got to the front door of my building and looked back before bolting indoors.. when I looked back it was tree line height above me and now more to the south east of me. It was directly above the grassy part of the front of our little yard, pretty much directly above the fence that separates our driveway from a storage unit facility, I instantly just knew it was following me and had followed me.. and it had followed me quickly.

Suddenly tons of terrifying thoughts crossed my mind, including abduction. It was this real and terrifying that I bolted indoors and up t o flights of stairs to the second floor where I live. Glancing at my Fitbit watch to check the time because I was afraid I was going to lose time like I have read about in abduction stories.

I ran into my apt and it was approx 2:22a. I rushed inside locking our door that we never lock and rushing around to close all blinds and windows.

I was this sure they had been chasing me. I have never seen anything like this in my life. I have seen things on tv and movies but I never I’m a million years would’ve thought I’d experience something like this. It would be one thing if it was just in the sky, but it followed me much faster than I’ve ever seen a plane or car!

Also I want to note (no clue if they’re related) that I had been smoking around 12:30a outside by our dumpster on the other side of our parking lot/driveway and had heard what sounded like a pile of rocks with someone walking on them or something? A strange sound that I couldn’t place or figure out what it was? I assumed maybe an animal where they’re doing construction right now directly behind our home (literal feet) and maybe there was some kind of animal climbing around on the rock piles.. i didn’t put this together until the day after the ufo sighting.

Also at about the exact same time I heard the weird crunching of rocks noise? No clue what it actually was or what caused it or if it’s related, but I heard howling from the north west, north east, and southern directions but very close to me. This happened long enough, and enough times, and sounded close to me and in almost all directions that I actually looked up a bunch of YouTube things about what coy dogs sound like and if we have coyotes in vermont.. because it was howling for long periods of time and sounded like maybe these animals were communicating.

If you look up what a coy dog howling sounds like, that’s what I was hearing all over.

Didn’t even place these strange occurrences until much later.. maybe these animals were seeing, hearing, or sensing something I couldn’t?

It’s just strange and unexplained. I sit outside all night every night and have lived here in the same building for 6+ years now and never experienced the strange sound, the howling or any howling and def not in all directions, not even on the Fourth of July.. and all in the same few hour span that I see a UFO and ended up being chased by one.

Please if anyone has a similar story contact me through here somehow. I know how crazy this sounds but it’s true. I’m seriously debating looking up a lie detector testing place her to prove I’m telling the truth. Nobody believes me. Otherwise the actual UFO didn’t make any sound. Traveled faster than anything I’ve ever seen, much much faster than jets.., and I probably wouldn’t have even noticed it had it not been that slightly different glowing light color than the stars. That’s what drew my focus to it initially. I will add a photo I found online, but I did not personally take this photo but it’s the most similar to what I saw. The only difference between this photo and what I saw was what I saw had no lines or anything. Just a glowing Diamond shaped object that did have some slight haze around the edges of something bright at night, just like stars do. Not anything like a beam or anything, just a glow from how bright it was.

If it’ll let me upload multiple images, I will upload a map that I draw on where I saw this initially and the direction it traveled and where it was when I last saw it.

UPDATE: I just tried to add photos of a map and what is similar to what I saw but it won’t let me click the photo upload link?

Very unusual craft traveling w-se no sound whatsoever

I was sitting outside on my porch. I always watch the sky stars aircraft etc. from the west I notice two red flashing lights at first I was betting in my head it was a rescue helicopter or the sort due to speed. The very unusual thing was as it moved across the sky, I clearly saw that the lights were kind of Atari ponging back and forth yet a large space between said lights. It was the fact as it approached closer and even clearer the lack of any noise is what really got me thinking hmmmm. Not sure if this would qualify. Also an unusual flight path if it is domestic. I watch and listen to my surroundings, kind of “stop to smell the roses” type of nature thing,

Saw something falling from the sky, leaving a smoke trail behind it.

I was crossing over a wooden plank walkway suspended over a clearing, on my way home from a early morning fishing trip. when I looked up into the sky and saw what looked to be an object falling from the sky. It seemed to have a smoke trail following it which made me believe it was falling from out of the atmosphere. Where just earlier this week a similar sighting was spotted in Alaska. I pulled out my phone and took multiple pictures and a video of it making a downward descent, making me believe its not an aircraft. Also afterwards when I had reached my street, i noticed animals in the neighborhood seemed to be restless. Ie. Dogs that were outside started barking and running frantically, i noticed more birds in the neighborhood than usual, squirrels, scurrying frantically up trees, and crows in the trees, which you almost never see in the neighborhood, started cawing aggressively almost at what seemed to be nothing. It was almost surreal.

Location details: Camp Passumpsic, on Lake Fairlee, Vermont, camping in a clearing in the woods

Shape: Light


I believe it was about 5/1964 I was at camp Passumpsic, on Lake Fairlee, Vermont, camping in a clearing in the woods, with about 20 other campers. Was looking at the stars and saw a white light, high up, looked like a star and moving around erratically. I thought stars don’t do that and showed some other campers who saw it. The next day several people said a ufo came down that night but I thought they were trying to pull my leg. This is about the same time and place of two other Nuforc.org reports: From nuforc.org Walden VT about 15 miles N. 5/15/1964 19:30
Large Siver Cigar Shaped object Walden VT 1964
In the spring of 1964 I was living with my mother, brother and my mother's female roommate. I was very young but remember the event vividly what I do remember of it. Our house was located in a rural Vermont community called Walden. The road I lived on had a railroad trestle and our house was gray. There was a dirt road that ran beside the house running around the property to another house where an elderly lady lived.
One spring evening, I was walking down that road and saw a large silver cigar shaped but larger in the center object fly by right next to me in the field by the road. It was completely silent and very large. It was moving incredibly fast and almost floated by.
As soon as the object passed, the next thing I remember is waking up in the barn on our property lying in the hay. I had no memory of how I got there and was awakened by my mother who had been looking for me for several hours.
I didn't tell her about what I had seen or anyone else until now.
I am in my 50's now and the memory of what happened has haunted me my entire life. I'm hoping someone else saw something around that time period, so I have some sort of confirmation.
These would have been moving South toward Camp Passumpsic from about 20 miles N. Hardwick, Vermont 5/15/1964 10:15 3 Saucers seen flying in formation in a southern direction, sighting lasted about 5 minutes by 2 people... My room-mate and I were driving from Hardwick to Woodbury, through Woodbury Gulf. We were on our way to buy some worms and minnows to use for fishing, when we noticed three silver objects flying in formation parallel to us in a southward direction just on the other side of the hills East of us. As we followed the road which is very "curvey" we would lose sight of these objects and than see them again as the road changed. We heard nothing other than the sound of our car's engine. When we got to the bait shop in Woodbury, we asked the owner if he had heard or seen anything. He had not. We returned to Hardwick and asked a variety of people if they had heard or seen anything in the sky. They all scoffed at our story. I have never reported this to anyone except my family and friends primarily as both my friend and I were ashamed to admit that although we were riding in a convertable with the top down and had an 8MM movie camera under the front seat, neither of us remembered to use the camera. Vermont in those days and even today is not overflown by many aircraft and to see something in the Vermont sky is an "Event"

When I got home, I couldn’t sleep for most of the night thinking about what I saw. They were definitely not airplanes. They made no noise and did not change shape or size as long as I observed them.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

4 Bright lights of indeterminant altitude traveling south to north spaced evenly apart.

These lights appeared to be two to three times brighter and larger than Venus in a clear nighttime sky. Because the altitude was indeterminant it's impossible to estimate how large they were, the speed with which they were travelling or the distance apart from each other. They were travelling in what appeared to be a straight line at a stable rate of speed. The movement was more suggestive of a series of helicopters but the lighting suggested otherwise There was no flashing or pulsing, just a steady bright illumination of a single color. The color temperature was warmer than what one normally sees with aircraft and appeared to be similar to tungsten lighting (about 3,400 degrees kelvin)

While driving underneath the line of lights, we lowered car windows in order to try to hear the sound of the aircraft. But, they were completely silent suggesting either a high altitude or silent propulsion method.

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Circular light illuminating behind clouds, darted off at very high speed, reappeared and darted off again several times.

At approximately 830pm, my husband and I were walking our dog in the dark. We live in a very rural location with woods all around, no city or town in sight with only a couple neighbors. It was dark but we were not using a flashlight as the moon was out enough to light our way faintly. It was overcast, but not raining/snowing. At almost the same time, my husband and I saw an illuminating, circular (disk) light coming from an area above the woods, which appeared like it was shining down through the clouds, rather than from the ground up. We both pointed and acknowledged it to each other when, all of a sudden, the light moved literally at warp speed to the left and vanished. Then almost immediately, it reappeared in the same spot that we had just seen it. It hovered for a few seconds then darted to the right (again at a VERY high rate of speed). Once again, it reappeared in the same spot. We both never saw the light coming back to the spot, it would just reappear. It made a final dart to the left and disappeared, not to return. We stood there in awe for a minute or two waiting for it to come back, which it didn't. We turned around and headed back home (that was enough excitement for us!). We walked about a 1/4 mile or so back to our house and before we turned into our driveway, the light reappeared from our right, made a sharp turn and went in a straight line from in front of us, then over our heads, and behind us...and disappeared. Again, we were in awe and stayed out in our field (in the complete darkness, no neighbors in site, no towns, no cities, etc) and waited for over about 15 minutes. It once again reappeared in the night sky, hovered, and took off. That was the last of it we saw. We did not hear any noise from an airplane or helicopter and the speed at which this object was traveling was absolutely astonishing - it would go from one side of the horizon to the other in a fraction of a second. There is nothing that we can think of that has the ability to go that fast (airplane, helicopter, drone, etc). We thought perhaps it was a deer hunter with a very high powered spot light shining it into the sky; however, the light appeared to be shining down from the clouds rather than up and we assumed that if it was a spotlight, we would see some sort of "beam" of light illuminating the woods/tree line and extending into the night sky, which we did not witness. The entire surroundings and night sky was very dark, just this light illuminating in one spot in the sky, coming from the clouds. Also, if it was a hunter with a spot light, the manner in which the light presented itself didn't seem "human-like", if it was a hunter "playing" with his spot light we would think it would of been more human-like behavior with the light waving back and forth, etc. and what we witnessed was split second speeds, hovering then darting off, reappearing without any light coming back to that same spot, etc. There very well could be a good explanation of what we saw; however, witnessing it first hand, it just didn't seem like anything we could explain away (airplane, Chinese lantern, helicopter, drone, etc). It was a very interesting encounter, one that my husband and I will always remember!

Large blimp looking craft, almost see through, quiet but make the ground shake

I’ve held onto this for a year now and I think about it every day. I needed to share in hopes to get it off my mind.

I was car camping at the Greendale campground in the Green Mountain National Forest, a place I know well. I was listening to a podcast when my car started to shake. I thought it was a bear. It was almost as if an earthquake was happening. I quickly realize it was not a bear and got out of the car. The trees were moving, my car was moving, I felt it. Birds who were sleeping in trees now screamed. I have birds, their sounds were of being scared out of sleep, but so many, it gave me chills. I looked up and saw a large blimp like ship that was low, just above the tree line, it was like see through, it reflected the sky, it looked solid but not, it’s hard to explain. It was like stealthy I guess you could say, like a Star Trek ship cloaked. It made no noise and it moved slow. There was a power coming from it. Once it was over head it blow air on top of me, it was warm, like the engine was pushing out air. This is really hard to explain in words. I’ve had a lot of weird things happen in my life, I’ve seen my share of unexplained things, but this bothered me. It’s not like anything I’ve seen or heard of. All I can think of is it’s some kind of government ship being tested and I think that’s what bothers me most.

I hope I explained myself well enough.

I’ve clicked there was aura or haze around it because it did kind of have a hazy or cloudy look around what I feel was the outline of the ship.

8 discs of red lights flying across Northern sky from the east. There was no sound and the red lights were very bright - there were 2 or 3 in sky at once. At a certain point in the North, they would just disappear - like the lights had been turned off. Then another one would come from the east and do the same thing.

Characteristics: Lights on object

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ball of light north to south through the valley from Camels Hump to Stark Mountain shooting fast back up over Mount Mansfield

Sitting on the porch with my wife and another couple one night just before sunset in the corner of my eye nor up the valley toward Mount Mansfield looked like a helicopter headlight coming south. I didn't think much of it with the Air force base in Burlington and low flyovers happen here in the summer. But, once it got closer maybe a mile away, if that, we all kind of did a double take and wondered what the ball of light was. I immediately got up and went to the non-screened in porch to get a better look. I had maybe 10 to 15 seconds of just staring at it wondering if it was a fire over on the property on the opposite hillside north that I can see? By the time I tried to wrap my head around what it might be, it zipped back up the valley north up over the mountains faster than any man made craft I've ever known of. Originally thought it must have been a trick of light and a meteor but that didn't make sense how it was lower than the mountain tops in the valley. Also heard many other similar sightings since with a fireball or light ball.

Round dark silhouette with bright orange light moving different directions

I was driving up West Street, in Rutland, VT, around 9:45pm, and a bright orange light shot across the sky, right in front of me. It wasn't very high up, lower then where a plane would be but MUCH higher then where a kite would fly. Instantly, I pulled over because I could see the bright orange-ish light (a round silouette shape) hovering right in the sky. I pulled over and was just so blown away by what I was seeing. The UFO quickly would shoot up, hover slowly, then go down, hover slowly, then shoot diagonally. The light would hover down at first, making a kind of blur because it moved so fast. Then slowly hover back up.. I realized I need to video this! So I pulled my phone out and took a video of it. The round orange flying object would slowly hover up, then over. at this point it was moving alot slower. This had gone on for about 5 minutes since I had pulled over. And then all of a sudden, it just took off and flew away.

Location details: In the sky in the SW to me but closer then the stars I was in my house looking at the sky

Shape: Light


Felt compelled to lookout at sky at 1030pm May 29 2021 saw brightest light nearby

On the night of May 29th 2021 I felt strongly compelled to lookout at sky at 1030pm my attention was drawn to Southwest area of the sky. I saw a bright light brighter then the rest of the stars closer than the rest of the stars.

I thought it was the North Star but it was too close to the ground - and within moments this light moved parallel to my left , more south I would guess, and then the light went out. It moved for approx 3-4 seconds at a speed that I could track easily.

I searched for it thinking it was too good to be true and thought perhaps a slow shooting star when it reappeared in the same spot it went out.

Again the brightest light of all the stars and it retraced its path back to the original spot I saw it again moving slow enough to track with my eyes and suddenly within a second it picked up speed moved downward toward earth in a S shape and disappeared.

I came back from sticking my head out the window and closed it and the shade as I was freaked out and alone with my kids.

This next part will sound very strange and I don’t care if anyone believes it or not because I will cherish it forever as an experience for me. I also haven’t told anyone except my husband and mom for fear of being laughed at.

It was the next night I don’t know exactly what time I would guess between 11pm- 3am

I opened my eyes while laying in bed and saw about 5 feet in front of me next to my standing mirror a small alien looking at me.

In my head I said “oh you’re here” I wasn’t afraid or anything it was a rather calming feeling. But I got the sense it was male no clothing green gray skin large eyes no hair thin limbs not an oval head but more E.T. shaped head with a small mouth. Where it stood near my mirror I’d estimate it’s height around 4-4 1/2 feet tall.

When I blinked they was gone.

I also heard a sound on the opposite side of the bedroom near my husbands dresser about 15 feet from the mirror.

It was an experience I will never forget and haven’t had one sense.
I’m watching Dave Paulides new ufo connection movie on Amazon and saw him talking with Peter Davenport and said I have to report this! I didn’t know there was a place to report it legitimately!

Thank you for everything you do in your work!

String of white lights moving slowly in formation

Took my dog out and noticed a straight line of white lights in the sky moving toward the southeast. I would estimate at least a dozen lights or more. The light appeared slightly wavy.

I would describe it as if it were a plane pulling a banner of white lights, but I could see no plane, heard no sound, and the lights stayed in formation.

It gradually faded into the southeast over the course of just a few minutes.

It did not appear to be traveling fast and was not very high in the sky.

I was a clear night, but I could not make out the outline of any craft.

String of Lights In The Sky

May 17 2021 It was around 12:05AM when I saw a string of small,moving lights in the sky.

It seemed as if they were following each other at a slow,steady speed,with no sound.

They moved straight at first,and then began to rather act like a snake or centipede.

The lights stayed together about 3 minutes and faded out of my view.

We could not get a good photo of the object on the cell phone.

This has happened once before around the same time of year.

The last time I saw them was in July, there were around five bright lights, and more defined.

I would like to know what these are, they seem strange to me.

Characteristics: Lights on object

Cigar shape UFO over South Vermont.

I was sitting on my front steps on the south west side of west mountain in South West Vermont, Bennington County. Looking out to the west where the sun sets I saw what I thought was a satellite. I then saw another light and another, behind the empty trees. I moved to see past the trees and I saw it. First I though "OH! thats starlink satellites." This was quickly dropped as I saw the front and end of the craft. It was almost like aerogel. Kinda transparent. It was like the moon and the sun was just right to refract light through it or I would have only seen the line of lights. It looked like a pipe fish from the deep sea. It had what looked like a hollow in tube front and a slender tail. I could not get it on camera, I only caught a tiny light of it. I immediately went inside to find starlink in the sky. It was not any where near me. No satellite or other craft was in the area at the time. It was 1000% a cigar shaped UFO. I have seen things that I ! could have excused, but was too strange to conclude. Not this one. Not even slightly. I am so certain that this is EXACTLY what others have been seeing as it was one of the first pictures I found when searching for the UFO. I am not very versed in what they look like in pictures or reports. It made the fact that I saw a CLEAR picture some one else took of a similar craft, that much more confident I was seeing a UFO. It had the exact same hollow tube nose and slender tail with the same lights. What bothers me the most, I got distracted from the subject within 5 minuets. The next day I was thinking about that and had a thought"... did I see one before?" I might have. Living in Long island NY early 2000's I was coming home late around 10 or 11. I saw 3 lights in a triangle formation. First stars I thought, but moving, so no. Next I thought plane. Nope! No flashes and size getting bigger. Eventually it was directly over head. It took up the entire sky and flew comple! tely silent. I could not see through it. It blocked out the st! ars abov e my head and I knew at that point it was a solid craft. So I say maybe because as clear as this memory is, it does not feel like mine. No matter how much I go over it in my head I feel like its not my story. I did not remember this until I thought about forgetting the NEW UFO I am reporting here. Why did this not take over my life? Why is the shock value so diminished so soon? What is that? I know for a fact what I have seen this time. The cigar shape will be burned into my mind forever... I assume. The triangle craft, I will never know if that was a real memory or not, and that hurts my foundation of reality as I usually have an amazing grounding even in things I forget. It has a certain feeling of right or wrong and this one wont fit that. It's stuck in the middle like it was another persons story that you adopted some how. So strange.

In summary, I saw 1 cigar shaped UFO with a front tubular looking end, and a slender tail. It was moving across the sky from north to south. I saw the ship sideways looking from the east to the west. It had a translucent body, like a deep see pipe fish with luminescent dots on its side. It was also reminiscent of translucent blue aerogel. It moved slowly and consistently. Lights where ?star yellow? no blue or red or flashing of any kind. Time was 7:28pm on October 24th year 2020. I have no special credentials to give me any credibility. I will say this, I am rational and look to be skeptical in an objective observational sense. I would still accept information to prove or disprove what I have seen. It is very hard to dismiss ones own eyes when a simple search brought up a clear photograph of what one has seen. The craft was almost 100% identical to a famous picture I have seen that was taken by George Adamski. The only missing bit was the more tapered tail, but that could h! ave been formed in the edge of the atmosphere? Like a comet tail? Maybe one day we will all know. Until then, Im gonna keep looking up!

Glowing oreo cookie shaped disc like object witnessed moving quickly and silently across the night sky.

At approx. 9:45 PM on 09/30/2020 I witnessed a bright illuminated object with a greenish tint move rapidly and silently from the South to the North in a straight line across a portion of the night sky over Rutland, Vermont. The object appeared to have a distinct shape and hard edges, appeared to be like two glowing hockey puck shaped discs stacked one on top of the other and moving in tandem. I could not determine if the upper and lower structures of the object were connected but it moved as one solid object.

The object did not have the running lights of an aircraft and moved much quicker than I am accustomed to seeing conventional aircraft move across the sky at low or high altitudes. It did not leave any kind of glowing or fiery trail in it’s wake. It did not appear to be falling from the sky. It moved horizontally and in complete silence. I cannot judge distance or altitude and only had the object in my field of view for a few seconds. Comparatively speaking, from my vantage point, the object appeared to be about 25% the size of the full moon and much bigger than any of the visible planets or stars that night.

Saw what we thought was intl space station until it changed direction 45 degrees .....

We were enjoying the eastern night sky at approx 945 pm and I noticed what I thought might be international space station somewhere top left of Orion’s Belt, object moves left in sky very distant and small but noticeable for about 1 min and then literally turned - Approx 45 degrees down to left kind of towards night horizon , mE and my friend saw it and were convinced it was space station until it changed course for about 10 seconds and we lost track of it in night sky, neither of us have ever seen anything like it , weird!

Enormous, long, low flying ship flying Westbound over Woodstock, Vermont

My son and I were in our backyard last night on Wednesday, August 5, 2020 at 9:20pm stargazing. I saw what looked like a giant military, C5 transport plane coming directly overhead, from East to West. The plane was lit up, so we could see it easily, but we also noticed that there was more to it, behind the plane. I had my binoculars and I could see it was very long. Well behind the plane there was another plane partially lit up. It was about the same size as the monster transport plane in the front. As it went overhead, and started to pass toward the west, we could see that they were connected by a large, long middle, as if it were one, large long ship like in the beginning of Star Wars movie. It was actually quite quiet considering how close it was, and how large it was, but it did sound like a plane, but far, far away. The object, or ship just continued westward. It didn't do anything crazy or anything, so I suspect it was a man-made object, but I've neve! r seen anything like it.

Large ball of bright light flying low across the sky

I was standing on my deck staring at the stars when I saw a very large ball of LED colored light came soaring through the sky just above the tree tops. It was much lower flying than any plane or helicopter. It was silent, and from my perspective appeared to be very large. There was no distinct craft, just a large ball of light moving in a straight line, and at a controlled but fast speed. Behind it there was what appeared to be a jet stream, but it was pitch black out so it was more like a trail of very faint light that was the exhaust. The light was only in my view for a few moments but the exhaust light remained for a few more seconds before dissipating. This was clearly not a shooting star or meteor. The “craft” continued on to an area out of my view. I am absolutely certain that this was nothing other than a craft of some sort whether it be military or ET. There were planes in the area at the time, but they looked like ants compared to this thing.

It was at 11:17pm when my wife and went for a ride and we were traveling south on I89. We seen three really bright lights brighter than the full moon and brightest star in the sky flying in formation. We then noticed that three flying in formation we being followed by many more bright lights to many to count. However the very front light in the formation shot behind our in the north direction and another took its place in front. But then the sky got so bright behind us it look as is the sun popped out. But then that light that disappeared behind was back in front of us and it bright so we pulled over to try and see what it was and it stopped suddenly and meanwhile the formation of lights and its tail of lights were farther in the distance. Both of us looked in aww and we realized the bright light we were looking at was a craft in the sky and was oval in shape and looked like a giant apartment building hovering in the sky and had other bright lights up the si! de that we could see in different spot throughout the side. And as we sat on the side of I89 with our hazard lights blinking it seemed like we had been watching for an hour or longer not one vehicle went by on the N or S lanes we noticed that it still hovering above us but it looked like it was farther than it had been. And all of sudden a bright bright light illuminated the complete bottom side of this craft it shot straight up to the point the bright light on the botton of the craft was a little bigger and brighter than the brightest star in the sky and then moved so fast in the eastern direction it was just flash of light. When it was all finished it was 27 minutes long but it seem like it was two hours. The two of us were physically drained and. I was driving i was so drained that i was falling asleep driving and my wife was asleep five minutes after it disappeared. We see planes all the time and we see different types of helicopter because we live close to the flight path of a runway at Burlington International Airport and helico! pters fly over on their way to the hospital and the both are very noisy. This craft was not making any noise and definitely didn't move like any aircraft i know of. I truly believe we seen ufo's on America's Independence Day

Red light near eastern horizon. Not blinking, possibly rising, disappears after a minute of observation.

Red light near eastern horizon. Not blinking. Brighter than a planet or typical airplane. Seemed to rise slightly over the course of a minute, but I could have imagined it. Got somewhat dimmer about twenty seconds after being noticed, then returned to original brightness, then after another ten seconds faded out over 1-2 seconds. I looked through binoculars, and it was in focus at the maximum focal length, implying to me that it was at least farther than a few hundred feet away.
