NUFORC UFO Sighting 187446
Occurred: 2025-02-03 04:50 Local
Reported: 2025-02-03 16:58 Pacific
Duration: About 15 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Red Hook, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
Location details: Standing on our deck, looking due east over St John

Shape: Light
Color: whie then red
Estimated Size: A large jet liner
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: I was looking directly east when I first spotted it and when it went crazy speed, it was definitely
Angle of Elevation: 46
Closest Distance: Guessing about 40 miles over water
Estimated Speed: Slow at first and then extreme speed
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Slow moving large white light then extremely fast small red as it went to the sky

Standing on our deck this morning, another beautiful evening with lots of stars. Out of nowhere., due east of our location, assuming about 40 miles away, a very large bright white light moving south east. Obviously, first thought was a large passenger jet., the light was too big to be a small plane, but was moving about the speed of a passenger jet. Thought it was a little strange because of the time of the morning, and Jess do not fly over us at that time normally but then thought maybe it was military.

Not thinking much of it, but watching it because the light appeared out of nowhere. I would’ve seen it flying by on our horizon and it was not very high up guessing maybe about 10,000 feet which also seemed odd for that size of a plane at that altitude..

Still not thinking much of it but watching it it looks like it came twice dead stop for about one second and then turn 90° sharply right and went out of 45° angle at a speed that I could never even comprehend

As soon as it made that turn, it turned red, and the light was only about half of the size as the original white light did not leave a light trail behind it, but literally went from Horizon on the left to Horizon on the right and probably less than two seconds… it was traveling at a 45° angle and just wish it was gone
I have never seen anything move that fast and I know that we do not have anything that moves that fast

It literally looks like something out of a movie where you see the light travel all the way across the sky, and almost a blink of an eye. I’m only making this report because I definitely 100% know what I saw and it was amazing

I will try to give you guys the best sense of direction, but it definitely was headed south west over us, but I completely lost side of it within two seconds it was gone

Occurred: 2024-12-26 20:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2024-12-26 18:05 Pacific
Duration: Varies avg. 45 sec max
No of observers: 1

Location: Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
Location details: Latitude: 18.3382 Longitude: -64.9319

Shape: Star
Color: White
Estimated Size: Estimated: Varying, similar to a luminary star
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: 40° North East - 190 feet above sea level
Angle of Elevation: 90
Closest Distance: Estimated 20 to 50 miles above the surface.
Estimated Speed: Estimated: Varying, between 1,000-10,000 MPH
Characteristics: Lights on object

Star-shaped objects appeared infrequently, varying in speed, direction, size, with consistent color and luminosity, no noise.

I observed the objects on my own while viewing the night sky during my vacation, in an area with minimal light pollution. Initially, the sightings were infrequent, but after extensive periods of time, I realized that the objects kept reappearing, rather than being a one-time occurrence. Occasionally, some were seen simultaneously, but they never shared the same characteristics in terms of size, speed, or direction.

After two days of observing them, I decided to create a report as I could not identify the objects despite numerous attempts to consider possible explanations, none of which provided clear answers or mathematical cues.

The lights never appeared together like Starlink satellites. There were no flares or reflections, and my camera could not capture the objects. They lacked any discernible pattern, moving at different speeds, directions, and sizes. Despite these variations, their color remained consistent, resembling a regular star.

The objects were not comets or asteroids, as they moved much slower than an asteroid entering Earth’s atmosphere. While the objects crossed the sky quickly, they did not have the extreme speed or trail that would identify them as asteroids. They were fast, but not so fast as to be mistaken for an asteroid.

The International Space Station (ISS) was ruled out, as the sightings involved multiple objects, and the ISS orbits below my location. Satellites were also ruled out due to the constant visibility of these objects, their proximity, the lack of a predictable pattern, and the absence of a prograde orbital movement, which would be typically be seen with satellites.

Satellite flares were excluded because the objects did not exhibit a blue hue or streak of light typical of flare phenomena. Starlink satellites were ruled out because the objects did not appear in uniform lines or share equal characteristics in terms of size, speed, and direction.

Planes were excluded due to the absence of flashing or colored lights, which would normally be visible on aircraft. Commercial drones were also ruled out because of the immense speed of the objects and their extreme altitude—much higher than typical drone flights.

Weather balloons were ruled out because of the immense speed of the objects and the frequent sightings. Weather balloons move much more slowly and are much less likely to be seen at the high altitudes that these objects appeared to occupy.

Attempts to film the objects were unsuccessful due to distortion of light at higher zoom levels on my iPhone, which made the objects unidentifiable.

The objects displayed persistent movement in one direction without erratic changes in course. While they seemed high above the ground, they did not appear small enough to be in space.

Yesterday, two of these objects were seen simultaneously, moving almost perpendicular to each other. They could have crossed paths if their speeds had been different.
