Object jumped around while spinning,and moved faster than light I came outside to use the bathroom at 6:00 in the morning before sunlight came up and I seen something jumping around in the sky and I asked my girlfriend to come out and look at it and see if it was moving and jump into and she said yes that's when I pulled out my phone and recorded it for 1 minute and 6 seconds 2 months later I started screenshotting it and blowing it up making it bigger and stuff and that's when I realized that I really do have something that somebody really needs to look at.

Two craft moving towards the North, the first craft vanished then approximately one second later the second craft vanished. While outside on my porch, I looked up and saw two objects, one in front and the other behind and to the right of the first object. They were moving from a Southerly direction towards the North.
There was no sound. After a couple of seconds, the object in front disappeared. The second object moved to approximately the same place and vanished as well.
There were two aircraft that came from the West shortly after and moved through the area that the two objects vanished.

Long Shaped object that had lights underneath no sound looked almost like a train in the sky except only one section of train. Long Shaped object that had lights underneath no sound could be heard at all. Was headed east then turned North east.
Then the object begin to fade out or disappear from the font to the back until it was completely gone or invisible. This all happened in a matter of 2 to 3 minutes. Unfortunately I have no images of this event.
It could have possibly been shaped like the image I uploaded but it had what appeared to be windows underneath. It was against a dark sky and all you could really see was the light from the windows underneath. These were not overly bright lights just amber looking lights but visible from the ground at night.

Straight line of multiple light moving very slowly northeast until vanished completely in two seconds. Leaving parents on the Tennessee and Kentucky border at around 6:18 PM on 12-3-2021. My son was first one off porch and looked up and asked if it was Santa and his reindeer.
When my mom looked up saying what the, so me and my father went to take a look, witnessing a straight line of multiple light moving at a slow rate of speed northeast in a horizontal position and as it was slowly moving a aircraft was moving towards it in a high rate of speed. The closer the aircraft got to the object the slower it went but moving into a vertical position, in which the light started going away from both end until completely gone in 2 sec. The whole experience lasted around 3 - 4 minutes.
With the sky so clear there was nothing that the object could have got behind or any laser hitting clouds to reflect back the multiple light in a straight line. I tried recording with phone but it doesn't show up. There was also a aircraft moving towards subject in a high rate of speed.
The closer the aircraft got, the more it was in horizontal position. Then once the aircraft looked like it was at the bottom of the light it completely vanished. The animals was going crazy and I felt like I had just ran a 5k run in three minutes and filling somewhat confused and drained.
I would like to know if anyone else has reported of this phenomenon. I know it couldn't have been any kind of government communication system. Because unless cloud or something was in sky to reflect the lights back to me they would just be visible from the sky.
Feel free to give me information on this or any other reports on this. Thank you.

We saw 2 lights that faded in and out of the sky. They stopped and changed direction. I used a spot light and pointed it at them and 2 mins later a huge v-shaped craft with no lights and no sound went right over our neighbors roof.
This craft was huge. So huge that I could not see all of it. As it was low and it was huge.
I could not move. I have never been so scared in my life and I'm a 48 year old male. Over the last several nights we have seen multiple lights that did things we cannot explain.
The v-shaped object did not stop but did move slow. It was a metallic color as I shined the spot light on it.

Cigar shaped object flies across sky in very odd way, before stopping and orienting it's leading end up and accelerating out of sight. A white or bright silver, cigar shaped object, heading south to north. Object was seen approximately 7 miles south/southeast of Standiford Field airport.
It was traveling in a straight line at a high rate of speed as compared to airplanes in the area. The object, while still moving in a straight line, rotated it's leading end eastwards almost 90 degrees, then rotated back towards the north before rotating towards the west, and then rotating north once again. At this point the object came to a complete stop.
It didn't fall or move at all for about 5 seconds. From my angle it appeared to raise the leading end up. It started to rise slowly then accelerated quickly, straight up and out of sight.
There wasn't any noise to be heard from it at all. Object witnessed by 46 year old male. Industrial electrician and single dad.
