Multiple silver reflective orbs dancing in the sky. They made v shapes periodically. Kayaking early afternoon.

My wife and I went kayaking About 12pm this afternoon. We moved around tubbs hill. We noticed a collection of reflective orbs changing shapes and reflecting in and out of the light on the 3rd street entrance side.

It was about 1:03pm. They appeared silver and round with no obvious drone like propeller blades. We observed them in broad day light for about 6 to 8 minutes.

Changing patterns and moving in random at the same time. They did not seem to emit any sound. We watched as they collectively headed northeast.

Over the course of observing them, they achieved a variety of positions in the air, including v shaped patterns.

Reddish shovel shaped aircraft, which appeared to be jet propelled, passed fairly quietly over north face of Scotchman Peak. I and three friends happened to be in the right place at the right time to see a strange aircraft fly past our position. The aircraft was jet-propelled, I feel fairly certain of this because its sound was very much in line with the sound of a small civilian jet aircraft, and also because the craft had visible inlets and exhaust.

The weird parts about this thing were as follows: 1 color. The whole thing was red, orangeish-red, not actually quite rust red, but I'm not sure of the name for the hue it was. 2 shape of the airframe.

The thing had all the parts of a modern man-made aircraft; engines, verticle stabilizer, seemingly viable wing/airfoil, and tinted black canopy. The weird bits were that the top-down or bottom-up view of the thing was shovel-shaped. I can't really think of any other way to describe it, the leading edges and trailing edges of the wing curved out from the aircraft center but came to a point at the nose and to brief straight back lines at the wingtips.

We saw the craft in what appeared to be a gradual bank as it passed our vantage point. 3 it left no contrails or any other sort of vapor or exhaust trail, this in spite of flying fast enough to produce a vapor trail. 4 the sound of its engines sounded too weak for its apparent speed suggested by the vapor cone and the short duration of our sighting.

The other three of us assumed collectively that what we saw must be some new military stealth tech, given the craft's fuselage was blended into the wing and did not protrude from the leading or trailing edge, which reminded us of a stealth bomber, but I'm uncertain for the following reasons: 1 once again color, why the hell does someone paint their advanced military jet like it’s a barn? 2 the tubes that seemed to house the engine were not blended into the fuselage very well, and sort of appeared to sit atop the base of the wing either side of the fuselage, this plus the straight upwards sizable vertical stabilizer seem like they would destroy the stealth capabilities of the design. 3 no hardpoints or weapons of any kind were visible. I'm not sure who built that jet or how to explain its weird characteristics.

I'm also not really sure if this counts as a UFO, but I've been thinking about this nonstop since I saw it, and my friends started to tease me about it. I needed to get my thoughts out somewhere, and was also curious to see if anyone else had filed a report of similar description, nobody has as far as I could find.

Three balls of light in a triangle shape that were about two hundred feet off the ground were moving a slow pace. As I was driving home, I saw three white balls of light in a triangle formation moving at a steady pace towards my direction. They moved together like it was one object but I couldn't see anything in between the lights.

They were going not much faster than I was which was around fifty mph. They were about two hundred feet high just off the side of the road. I saw them for about 7 seconds and when they reached my 9 o'clock they disappeared.

inverted V shaped, 7 bright lights,fast moving , no sound traveling north to northeast I am an insomniac and was wide awake. I was retrieving my dog from early yard relief visit at about 3:15-3:20 am. I looked out over roof far out beyond the eves of doorway to check on icicles/ ice and then took a look at the clear , cloudless sky and bright stars.

A clear , inverted v (chevron) shaped dark grayish object but lighter than sky , thin in shape of v but large size like a jet in v mid length at the distance and not exactly close nor too far away ( distance is hard for me but maybe 1/4- 1/2 mile up) with 7 bright lights on the v shape ( one at point and three on each side) zipped into my site from eves and shot over my head from left to right ( North - Northeast) in a slight arc and corner of deck and out of my view in about 1 second. Very distinct shape, very clear, dull not shimmery lights , very fast zip, soundless. I did not go out on deck- too icy.

Houses are close together to see more. By the time I got out it would have been gone.

4 lights circling over the clouds, looked like big spotlights but in the clouds Me and my 4 friends saw scary, large lights circling clouds in the sky.

This has main lights with red and blue flashing that seems to rotate This has appeared three times that we have seen, tried to get a pic but didn't come out, it has been in the same general location in the sky about 10 thousand feet up with only a few hundred feet from where it was the time before.

While pruning a tree observed objects circling est. 5000 ft above surface. Working in back yard, first observed 3 or 4 light objects circling in sky, sun glinting on portions of the rotation.

Soon observed very large group, not well organized but in general also circling. Seemed extremely high elevation for flock of birds, is what grabbed my attention. I've experienced seeing flocks of sea hills in perhaps similar patterns, only near the surface of the ground.

So high and distant, I could not determine size, or shape to confirm if birds or.drones, which I quickly came to question the possibility of. I observed their activity about 30 minutes, until I was distracted then I returned and they were gone.

Dark object moving slowly just after dusk. A dark slow moving object, looking longer in a vertical direction. I watched for about a minute trying to figure out what I was seeing.

I went out on the deck and watched and then tried to take a photo. Using the night mode setting on my cellphone I did capture the object. The picture quality is not good, but it appears the object had rotated, now looking longer in a horizontal direction.

My husband also saw the object. When I first saw it, it was moving parallel to our house, coming from the West. As it got closer to our house, it slowly turned North and gained altitude.

I am a 51 year old native Idahoan and work full-time. My husband is 53 and works full-time as a Law School Professor.

My wife saw a large object with white lights hovering over our property. At about 3am on the 27th, my wife woke up thirsty. She saw movement outside our bedroom window and when she looked that way she saw a large disc-shaped object hovering 30-50 feet over our property.

As soon as she observed it, it accelerated away, disturbing the snow underneath it.

Strange object, upper structure with smaller elements hanging below Object was observed at higher elevation first and slowly moved west to east. Object moved lower in a continuous motion until it was no longer visible behind buildings. There are several videos and photos of the entire sighting.

No sound noted. Difficult to describe the shape.

Right at the time of NYE, five red stars appeared and hovered south east of me for an extended period of time. I was out to watch the two sets of firework shows to the west. They looked like bright stars.

I am familiar with flight paths and ruled out planes, helicopters, drones and flares. I do not know what they are but after a few minutes they slowly faded out one at a time and were completely gone.

Vertical, black, slow moving/hovering, then quickly moved towards the mountains and lost sight. Noticed this tall, black, metallic looking object in the air. It looked like it was just floating along and almost not moving at all at one point.

Then could tell it was moving north east. We lost sight of it behind clouds or over the mountains, or it just disappeared all together.

White sphere darts across highway above car I was driving with my fiance from Northern Idaho to Jackpot NV. We were in the middle of nowhere, I believe we had already passed Twin Falls but it may have occurred between Boise and Twin Falls. It was a clear night punctuated with patches of dense fog.

When we hit the first patch of fog a white sphere shot across the road above our car and was gone in less than a second. We both shouted and gasped WTF!? It was clear as day, moving at an incredible speed, clearly visible through the dense fog (now obscuring the stars), made no sound and left no trail. In the moment the best size comparison I could think of was a basketball at the height of a streetlight.

My fiance thought it may have been further away and larger, her guess was 100 ft away and 30 ft across. About an hour later she was asleep. I first saw a small shooting star (tiny with a trail, about 1 inch across my field of view) then I saw a similar white sphere as before (this time much smaller and further away but significantly larger than a shooting star).

This sphere shot across my entire field of view from left to right in a second or two before fading off into the distance. My jaw dropped. It was the fastest thing I've ever seen but still no trail, no sound.

Totally clear view at the time.

First, I thought of the position of the planet Venus at that time…until I took enlarged pictures… From 1978 to this day, I believe I saw 3 UFOs (Unknown Flying Objects). One when I was an ATC (Air Traffic controller) in the Air Force, another one when I was a Flight Attendant and another one as a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI ) pilot. Those UFOs had different shapes such as diamond shape and croissant shape.

Last night, I woke up at 5am. I saw a bright light in the sky from my bed. I leave by the Lake Pend’Oreille in Sandpoint, Idaho.

I walked to the balcony. First I thought it was the position on the planet Venus at that time (5:10am). Considering the rotation of the Earth, that “thing” was not moving.

Then I began to take pictures with my cell phone. And this is what is appearing (see pictures)! I leave the analysis and conclusion to the experts. But please let me know the verdict!.

Long stream of bluish Points of Light moving at a rapid speed across the sky between cloudbreaks I am not sure how many objects I just witnessed, (I had to put a number in the box) because they were in a long stream moving rapidly across the sky between the clouds. They were moving very fast and went behind the cloud at a high rate of speed. I clicked on my sky app looking for starlink satellites because I thought this must be what I just saw, but from what I understand starlink satellites do not move extremely fast, nor are they blue, but there were no starlinks displaying on my screen moving in this direction.

These were distinctly blue and we're moving rapidly, so rapidly it made me think of a weapon being fired that leaves a trail of light behind it. They were coming from the west and headed east and I caught them while I was glancing up to see a storm headed up from the southwest and there are some lightning flashes down there. And I could just barely see the moon behind the clouds due south of these objects.

If they turn out to be starlink satellites I apologize but I can't imagine that they were. The gap in the clouds that I saw these through, was as wide as the space created when I hold my arm at full length toward the sky, and splay my fingers outward, from the tip of my thumb to the tip of my middle finger. They were very, very small points of bluish light, looking like nothing I've witnessed before.

Hovering about mountain As we were driving, I noticed a bright object hovering above a mountain. It wasn’t moving and it was very bright. After telling some people about it, I found out the same object was photographed in Soda Springs two days earlier.

We compared photos, and they seem to be the same thing.

Full Report Text:

Bright light high in the sky, to the west, about 30 deg up from the horizon. Similar to a star or planet in the sky. Looks like a shiny white spear using binoculars.

Not moving very fast. Don’t believe it is Jupiter or Venus using a sky app for current planet locations. Suspect a weather balloon, but I have no idea.

We took a photo with a camera, but it looks fuzzy when zoomed in, so it’s par for any odd event for photography.

Orange lights in the sky with smooth but random movement that joined in formation to form a triangle, then accelerated away from us. I work medevac and fly on a pilatus PC-12. We were en route from Salt Lake City UT to Idaho Falls ID.

We started tracking a series of lights (3-4) to the North East of our position around the time we hit the Idaho/Utah border. One of the lights appeared to have a parallel flight trajectory to the east of us off our right wing. It was several miles out.

We radioed in to the SLC ATC and inquired if there was any traffic in our vicinity. We were instructed that there was no traffic. No other aircraft responded on the radio about being in the area.

There was nothing on radar or a transponder signal. Eventually the light disappeared, but reappeared at a higher altitude, and there was 3-4 lights moving at a speed not consistent with any aircraft that we would be familiar with moving in random but smooth patterns. We were at 20k feet.

These lights would fade in and out and all have different vectors. Eventually they all met up, formed a triangle formation with 3 points of light (one on each corner) and one faint light in the middle and it moved up and vanished. We landed at Idaho Falls and still noticed 1-2 lights at a time coming down (possibly through the atmosphere) flying in random patterns at different points in the sky, then vanishing.

This whole phenomenon lasted about 45 minutes. We are pretty used to seeing meteor showers at night since we fly a lot of night missions, but none of these lights had the characteristics of meteors based on movement. It was very awesome to see.

Saw it above my house this morning and took pictures I saw a strange light which I assumed was a satellite or a drone so I took pictures. When you zoom in on them they show what appears to be a shiny round object. It sat still in the sky for 15 min or so then vanished suddenly.
