semi circular motions almost in the shape of a W, extremely bright, abruptly lights turned off/on mid air in 2 minutes, odd behavior laying on my couch at 5am, can see through glass patio door from couch, noticed extremely bright almost star like object above the tree line. walked to patio door and noticed object was not only moving in a “W” format but also was brighter and lower than all stars. Mentally compared it to common aircraft flight patterns and couldn’t recognize its flight pattern.

continued watching while on the phone with a friend describing what happened and writing it down as i saw it. stayed in the same general area in the sky, assumed it was a drone but was too large and bright. Noticed a plane fly by at around 5:03 , whilst plane was in the sky (near object), it (the object) stopped moving.

planes had the normal flashing red abs white lights and linear flight pattern, compared the two when they were both visible and there was just just too many differences to believe this wasn’t a UFO. UFO also emitted “sparkles ”, twinkling dots around it while moving, almost like twinkling firework sticks. by 5:05 when the plane was no longer and sight it continued to move and stopped again.

After two minutes completely stopped shining and was no longer visible at 5:07. Began shining again at 5:09, but know behind the tree line and was so bright i could see it through the tree line even though it was night. stopped shining again at 5:10.

Ufo was bright, circular, and iridescent. almost like a star.

It was hazy. Sitings-now that really impresses people. Are u literate? Your use of the word indicates otherwise.

Please change to "sightings". (A "site" is a place, as in campsite. A sighting is a visual observation.

) Thank you and good sightings. ((NUFORC Note: We agree. A "sighting" is when someone sees something.

A "siting" is when someone places something somewhere. We do not understand the date entered above by the source of this comment. PD)).

An unidentified drone-shaped craft with 4 flashing white LEDs was seen hovering over my house. I have been having internet problems recently. On 12/17.

2022, I had connectivity problems with my internet and as a result emergency services was called to my house twice for a series of alleged 911 hang-up calls. These calls coincided with a "spike" in the Spectrum Internet DOCSYS modem that provides my internet and telephone services as well as a severe degradation of my WiFi signal causing my use of a streaming service to be interrupted. The police came to my house twice asking if everything was okay.

I explained that the internet was acting up and it must be an error, till it happened again a few minutes later. I called Spectrum Internet to report the anomaly and set-up a technician to come out and replace the modem. The next day, 12/18/2022 (one hour ago or so at time of writing), I started getting the same intermittent internet issues and checked the available networks that were broadcasting within range of my device.

There was an open network called "Marvell" with a number I don't remember showing a signal strength higher than my own high-end gaming router's signal, which is 30 feet away from my device. This signal was stronger than any other the device could detect by far, so I thought there was someone outside since Wifi doesn't usually have such a high powered signal when coming from any amount of distance and through thick brick walls. As I walked outside, I noticed what I believe to be a drone very, very low above my house.

This was larger than a Mavic drone commercially available, and was larger than most drones I have ever seen. It was huge and very close. This is NOT a report of aliens or whatever.

This was obviously a drone, I have seen and flown drones, and am familiar with their shape, size, and flight characteristics. This was a drone. There were 4 white LEDs flashing in unison about once per second and the drone appeared to react to my presence by ascending quickly and leaving my house near the Cook Out restaurant and heading towards the Conover Fairgrounds about a mile away.

I attempted to follow the drone barefoot, but the machine was moving too fast for me to keep up. I had hoped to follow it to it's point of origin, but was unable to keep up. After giving chase for about 2 minutes, I realized it was futile and the operator must have been farther away than I could walk as I live in a urban area, and would not have caught it for all the traffic and it's speed.

I returned home and called the police to report the incident. There is a 911 call to Catawba County documented. An office came by, took a very quick verbal report and warned me against shooting at it as that was my first instinct since it seemed threatening and large enough to possibly kill someone if it struck them.

The officer left quickly and I feel he was going to try and track it down. This was a very large drone, not like the expensive toys I have seen and played with, this was something different. I plan to file FOIA requests with a few agencies to see if any of them had a drone flying that night.

This is a small town, and I don't feel like the cop knew about it's presence or purpose as he did seem to want to catch it too. If it wasn't the cops, and it wasn't a "normal" drone, who is operating such a device? This should be investigated as the pilot was NOT within any line-of-sight that I could see, and I looked. I wanted to follow it back to them and break it.

The size and speed of this device makes it a possible lethal weapon being operated by unknown actors with an unknown intent while producing similar effects which disrupted emergency services and internet service at my house. I will swear to this in court.

Lighting in sky with orb of light around it and then disappeared after ~3-4 minutes.

The “craft” hovered over i95 I was driving down i95 with my 8 y/o son. It’s very difficult to describe what I saw when there’s no familiar reference point. There was a cylindrical thing that was rotating out of the tree line.

At first it looked like a blimp but it was much thinner than that, the nose of it was like an airplane but not quite a rounded, had a little tip to it. It rotated perpendicular to the highway—many other cars slowed down. It was there and then it wasn’t.

We would see either a smoke stream or a freeze line. Then off to the distance you could see an orangish light with a foggy orb around it. We could see that for a couple minutes after.

Fireball with a 3’ blazing tail I was on the front porch (porch light on and light near walkway) the background was dark - took our dog out for the last time before bed. I stood on porch and the fireball with a blazing tail was 30’ in the yard in front of me. It lasted a brief moment, then another exact thing came behind it.

They were going in the direction of my dog. The fireballs with a blazing tail were approx 30” off the ground. I called my dog to go inside for the night as I wasn’t about to go in the yard to examine what I just saw.

My dog was skittish many days after this event. So weird! I know what I saw and it was real!.

Something just slowly flew over the homes around 8:20pm with 8 inch red lights running along the bottom of it. No sound. I did not see a shape.

If it had a shape it was black. I just saw 8 inch diameter vivid red lights spaced about 3 feet apart along the bottom of something dark. From what I saw it stretched from one side of the street above one home to the other side of the street above the house on the other side of the road and the lights were moving like watching a train go through an intersection except it was happening above houses.

It just kept moving. It really startled me as I realized what was happening. When I got to the intersection and looked down the intersecting street it was gone and out of sight.

I drove around many blocks looking for it. Never saw it again. We live just across the river from the Sunny Point Military Terminal where a lot of jets train and military cargo planes fly over us all the time.

They make noise. This object did not. I have never seen anything like it.

I do not know what kind of military training object this could have been. But I am reporting it because it was simply too close to the top of the homes on my street.

Unidentified object changing form and color dancing in the sky We have several videos we can send. This object was darting around, looked at times like a brain with transmissions occurring inside and changing colors. Never seen before and have worked at Area 51.

Called the neighbors and they confirmed seeing this object and being unfamiliar with anything like it. We would like some ideas as to what it could be. The sky was clear.

Animals were going crazy in a couple videos. We were upstairs and standing on an outdoor deck. Thank you! Steve and Michelle Olson.

Unidentified large aircraft flying over my backyard in plan view, very close so details were visible to the eyes. Very large aircraft came in from east moving slow in open sky then moved slightly toward trees but just inches above tree branches. Another person witnessed this.

We just want a response from you of what it was. My phone would not allow picture until after it passed over my head and therefore the picture shows to back lights, the lights around seems off. I just want to know what it was.

I submitted this in November but haven’t gotten a response from you. The concern is important to me because I have never seen anything like it. I find myself thinking about this in search of an answer.

Please email me with your answer. You can blow up the picture better than I can and evaluate. Also, what is the gray animal image underneath aircraft.

It is no doubt, real! I had doubts about ufo but seeing that has changed my mind! Thank you.

Circle shaped, lights (different colors) around, dark gray color, very large size, humming sounds as slow passing. Another person w Another person with me saw this. It was just a few feet above oak trees when I took a photo.

However, the aircraft moved slowly to left from neighbor lights. You can see back lights.I got a good look but was struck with amazement watching it in open sky before thinking about a picture.

Never seen anything like it. As a nurse with many years in critical care, I thought I had seen it all but this is top of list!!!.

I was outside during working a catering event and decided to take a picture of the sky,not knowing what I took until hours later. I took a picture of the evening sky,while I was working a catering event. I noticed the bright lights,but thought they were just stars,until I viewed the images hours later.

After zooming in you can see the disk shapes.

Full Report Text:

Observed a very slow moving unmarked cigar tube shaped craft moving in the air at very low altitude in straight East to West direction While driving home in my truck eastbound on 17th St. approaching its intersection with South College Rd., I looked out my driver's window in a northerly direction.

I observed a silvery-white cigar tube (rounded at "front", blunt at "tail") shaped craft that appeared to be lazily flying in a direct East to West direction. It was moving very slowly, perhaps 10-20 mph. The object had no visible stabilizers or wings.

It had no visible propulsion system e.g. propeller(s), or exhaust heat plume The craft had no markings, except for what I thought might be part of a tail fin, which was black and white.

Thinking about it, however, it probably was not a tail fin because of it's very low profile. The surface of the craft was smooth; there were no visible ribs. No landing gear was visible.

In short, it simply looked like a slow moving silver-white cigar tube. The object I observed was, as stated, moving very slowly through the air. The field in the background made it easier to see in profile.

It held steady at a very low altitude and I observed no vertical or horizontal drift. I looked at it for as long as I could, perhaps five seconds, then I looked back at the road, as this was rush hour. As soon as I could, perhaps seven seconds later, I looked back at the spot where I first observed the object, and it was gone.

I looked to the right and left of the object, but it was gone, like it vanished or something. There was a lone tree in the foreground situated where the object may have passed behind it, but it was moving so slowly, and was appreciably higher in the sky than the tree, that I would have been able to view part of the craft above the tree line. As it was, I looked directly at the tree and no part of the craft was visible.

As there was no point of reference to judge its distance from me, I cannot give an approximation of its length. I moved to Wilmington from Akron, OH, which is home to the "Spirit of Akron" blimp. I am very familiar with blimp features: the gondola, tethering cables, propeller engines, superstructure, windows and the "skin" of a blimp.

This was no blimp. It more closely resembled a dirigible, but had no gondola, visible propulsion system, or markings of any kind. In short, I don't have any idea of what it was or how it could have disappeared so quickly, almost as if it utilized some kind of "cloaking" technology.

Craft was bright white moving across sky then turned orange/reddish and flew up out of sight My husband and I were looking for the International Space Station and thought we found it but it was in the wrong place and we thought it was moving too fast. We know the ISS moved at 17,500 mph but this was moving faster and then went from bright white to a orange/reddish color and flew out of sight. I’ve seen shooting stars, the ISS and Venus and this was not that.

My husband is a nonbeliever in UFO’s and he was speechless at what he saw.

I’ve seen these on my land for years I’ve seen flying balls of light for years, I’m very private and have not reported anything for various reasons. Finally got some solid evidence of what I’ve been seeing on my trail cams. I’ve had a deer disappear when I was 20 feet from it with my son.

My wife had a Bigfoot encounter, I’ve seen and had too many encounters to explain here, Hopefully the pictures will help explain what I’ve been experiencing. Not sure anymore if this is paranormal, ufo, or what. Things don’t happen everyday more like a few days and nights a month.

You can definitely tell when it’s going to be one of those days, you can feel it and it’s dead quiet. I’m not far from Fort Bragg maybe that’s part of it.
