Seemed to be cloaked-no lights, no sound, simply movement in sky, it glided by heading SE. This is the second time I have seen one of these. The first instance was in November or December of 2022, this second instance was May 2 at 1:59 AM.
Both instances, I was outside viewing the stars, and notice movement out of the corner of my eye, so I focus on that spot. Definitely a chevron shape, although it is difficult to explain, as they appear to be made to blend into the sky. Absolutely no sound or lights, they simply glide by.
The whole experience only lasts for seconds because once they glide by, they just kind of blend into the night sky. It would be impossible for me to get a picture due to how well they blend into the surrounding area. I am a 66 year old, retired female.
I used to be a programmer as well as a system administrator for retail corporate offices.

Flying object with lights moving at fast speeds and in weird directions. Disappeared after 30 seconds. It almost looked like an airplane, however it was moving very weirdly and going at a high speed.
We only seen it for about 30 seconds before we couldn’t spot it again. We had thought a olane had crashed at first, but there was no noise indicating that a plane had crashed nearby. It had two flashing lights on it, one red and one white.
It was hard to get a shape because of its speed, but the front looked like the nose of a plane and had a weird crescent shape in the back. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides little contact information. PD)).

I wish that I could see them, I aim camera btween the chem trails and the sun and photograph them regularly. I work in this area, this happened during the totality of the Sept.21 solar eclipse.
We took a few hrs. off to observe. It started when I was talking to another individual that happened to see a flash of orange to the north.
I had my phone in my hand, so I snapped some shots to the North. I then turned partially around and continued the conversation. I began taking snapshots facing the opposite direction over my left shoulder toward the sun.
The sun was under the effect of the 2 minute totality, practically dark. I did not see or hear anything out of the ordinary. When I got home that evening and started going through the pictures, I could have fainted.
What I filmed and what I was seeing was two totally different things. The chemtrails were blatant that day. They started that morning and continued until right before the event.
Practically created full cloud cover and darkened the sky. They continue to this day and I continue to take pictures capturing the spheres on film. I do not know how to get the word out or where to report the incidents.
I have no idea what they are after. I do know that they are very busy and continues to grow in numbers and frequency. My last pics were taken just yesterday.

Large black rectangular object above grand island with a red light on each side. I was sitting in my room, looking out the window when I noticed a strange object in the sky. It appeared to be some sort of stealth jet at first, I left my room and told my friends to come look at this thing.
We stepped out into the backyard and looked up at the object. As it moved across the sky, we noticed that it was more of a black bar or rectangular shape with a red light on each side. We heard a distant humming sound, but it was well above the clouds, so my friends and I belived it's size to be about 6-7 times larger than a commercial jet.
It moved incredibly slow. It appeared to have turned, but never faltered from its initial direction. We attempted to get the on video but the sky was too dark and our phone cameras weren't that great.

My husband and I saw two silent, low flying, bright circular lights with orange tint, about 10 p.m. My husband and I observed two bright orange circular objects about 10 p.
m. on August 16th, 2008. We were taking our dog for a walk and just happened to notice these two lights coming out of the South East sky.
They flew silently over us to the North West. One was a little ahead of the other and then the slower one caught up. They were not as high as an airplane would be.
We watched them until they finally disappeared. We have never seen anything like this. ((NUFORC Note: Witnesses provides no contact information.

Two sightings within 5 days over Grand Island, Nebraska From my west window, around 11:15 at night, I observed a circular craft traveling from west to east very fast, about 10 seconds from far horizon to passing over head and to the right of my window. Circular view from below. As it passed, smaller lights were "dancing" over its underside.
The TV show "AMZ" did a segment on UFO's and the one they showed looked like the object. A few days before this sighting, I think , I saw the same object in the sky again about 11:15 at night. It was moving slow and changing directions with uneven motion, slightly northwest of the west window.
observed with binoculars, faint, detected mainly because of its motion.

I was a hovering sphere over the corn field near my house. One night when I was about 10 years old I went out my back door. I was getting ready to go to a cub scout meeting.
As soon as I stepped out my back door, I noticed a bright sphere-shaped object hovering (not even really hovering, it was just perfectly still) maybe 500 feet or less over the corn field near my house. The sphere was about 1500 - 2000 feet in total away from me (in a straight line.) I was totally shocked.
I had never seen anything like it. Even at 10 years old I knew it was not an airplane or a helicopter. It made no noise whatsoever.
I was overcome with the feeling that the object was "staring" straight at me. I can't explain this, it's just something I knew was happening. I also had the sense that I couldn't look away.
It was a very, very peaceful feeling, I felt very happy, more so than the moments before I stepped out the door. It was as though the object was telling me "it's ok, don't worry". Very strange but that is the overwhelming feeling I had.
The sphere wasn't very big. Maybe about 50 - 75 feet across. It was emitting light, but the light didn't really light up the night.
There were no beams of light coming off it, but still it was as though it was shining a flashlight straight at my eyes. The light was white, all white. This lasted maybe 20 seconds and as I said was a very joyful feeling.
Then suddenly, the light shot off across the sky at an extremely high rate of speed. It didn't have to speed up. It reached the full speed I saw it traveling at instantly.
It travelled east toward Grand Island and in the distance it arched upward slightly and disappeared. I'll never forget this as long as I live. ((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that date of the event is approximate.
PD)).
