A passenger train on a dark night,long A long line of equally spaced lights representing a string of rope lighting. Moving from North to South at a steady pace not wavering or any erratic motion. It was like watching a passenger train with lights in the windows on dark night from several hundred yards away.

Object was stationary almost and pulsating and sparking nee the bottom almost like a thin stretched out flame with a glow in clouds We arrived at my house after work and the object was seen by me, my mother, and my litte brother. We wanted to say it was a shooting star but it was completely stationary and looking closely at the bottom it sort of sparked and wiggled very slightly like a flame but it was too stretched out to be a jet exhaust. My pictures don't really do it justice and I don't really have any fear of it but definitely something I've never seen before.

Dark, silent, triangular craft moving across night sky Went outside at night to walk the dog. Dark, clear, starry night. Looked up and a dark crescent shaped or triangular shape moved across the sky - very low - maybe a hundred yards up.
Completely silent with no lights. Looked to be cruising - not zipping. I am an educated, 63 year old retired man.

Object change angle trajectory from 45 deg to 5 or 10 degrees Object was seen in the sky west of our location. High in the air but at a mid to low altitude and seemed to be coming down at a 45-degree angle. A flash grew visible at the bottom facing point of the object.
The object was seen lower at a 5-to-10-degree angle before disappearing behind the tree line.

Prior to filming me and my g/f viewed a small craft flying below the cloud cover at a high rate of speed. While filming I caught another Me and my girlfriend were getting ready to view the eclipse by our apartment in Dallas area. There was medium to heavy cloud cover during that time.
Due to this we were able to view the eclipse without the filtered glasses most of the time. Right as the moon began to pass over the edge of the sun we both saw a small black, disk shaped craft flying west to east directly under the clouds at a very high rate of speed. We have witnessed many aircraft fly at similar altitudes and were taken back by the fact there was no sound and the speed it was traveling at.
The entire encounter was all of about 10 seconds. It basically just disappeared into the sky as it was flying so fast and covering so much distance in the short seconds we could see it. We were both very excited and had already planned on filming the eclipse.
I had purchased a phone attachment so I could mount my phone to my monocular and have a better view for pictures and videos. Within the first 10 seconds of filming my lens does something really crazy, like a massive lens flare you would get when the sun suddenly comes out from cloud cover and saturates your lens with light, but in this case it didn’t, it stayed behind significant cloud cover the entire time. Right after this I saw a small black object shoot out from below my viewing angle.
It was so fast I honestly didn’t know if it was anything significant at the time. We viewed the rest of the eclipse without any other events. We had both taken tons of video and after going through them the first video I took at the beginning of the eclipse was 16 seconds long and I caught 3 different anomalies within a few seconds of each other.
You have to be looking for 2 of them to really see them but when slowed down it’s obvious they are some type of craft and not a bird, dust, plane, or some other video glitch. I’m really interested in getting these analyzed by professionals to see if what I caught can be enhanced and studied to determine what they are. I was even more intrigued once other videos started coming out from the Dallas area showing other anomalies in the sky that day.
Look forward to hearing back from experts on this matter.

3 points of light shaped as triangle moving South to North. Looking West the 3 points of light shaped as a triangle moved South to North. Altitude was that of a commercial airliner.
Just before I couldn't see it anymore, due to my roof line blocking it, the front light moved to the back of the formation. The lights were white.
Full Report Text:
A low flying triangular craft which unnaturally sped into and out of the sighting location. While traveling north on Highway 70, just outside of Clarendon, TX, myself and another vehicle occupant observed something neither of us have ever seen. Three lights, relatively low in altitude, determined by how close the rear two lights appeared to be to each other (viewer perspective) and the approximate distance from the horizon, accelerated into view from the east at an unnatural speed for any conventional fixed wing or rotary aircraft.
The object then stopped just west of the highway and a few miles north of our vehicle for approximately 10 seconds before leaving south southwest at the same rate of acceleration it had first appeared. The front light on the object was pale orange, with the rear two lights being a bright, cool white. The underside of the object was briefly illuminated (1 second); however, I could not distinguish its color.
From my viewing angle, it appeared to be longer than it was wide; however, it could have been due to the viewing angle. Furthermore, I could not help but feel every hair on my body stand due to the sheer feeling of unnaturalness surrounding the situation. It could not have been any publicly known aircraft from the acceleration displayed by the object, and it was stationary for too long for it to have been a man made structure merely illuminated by the reflection of my headlights (i.
e. power line). I don’t have any photos as I was driving, but I don’t know what this was.

pyramid shape pointing and leading with the top of the pyramid almost like a video game interaction i was laying down in the front yard for a half hour or so to recoup myself and look up at the sky, one most notable thing was a really loud and distant almost cyborg like sound that i couldnt acknoledge as actually a sound from the distance or my imagination a few moments before i saw the shape appear in the sky very directly above me considering the places it could of been. it appeared and moved on a strait path forward facing the street from the house for a second or two and so as soon as i recognized it as real i headed directly inside as i planned to after standing up to head back inside.a few other things in the sky caught my attention but this was the most notable as it struck me the most as a UFO.
just chilling in the garage now.

I was falling asleep when I saw lights on the sky I opened the blinds and there I saw it flying in a straight path going over my home I was about to go to sleep until I saw a light, I opened the blinds out of curiosity and I saw it. It was a ufo not a drone not plane. I had a window open so if it even was a drone I would have heard it.
Full Report Text:
While reviewing pictures of a full rainbow, the camera detected an anomaly that was not visible with the naked eye. Upon review of the pictures a "spot" arose. Upon further review, the "spot" was noy natural and was confirmed not be a problem with the camera.
At the same time, we were taking photos, our across-the-street neighbor was doing the same. We shared our photo with her, and when she reviewed hers, she found the same anomaly.

Full Report Text:
A craft within a hazy cloud around it crossing the sky. My brother & sister-in-law we’re leaving the rehab where our 87 yr old mother is at. They were talking and looked up.
They saw an odd illuminated, elongated cloud moving across the clear, cloudless sky. It didn’t have a trail following and seemed lower than the other planes in the sky. We are use to aircraft in the DFW area.
If it was daytime we would think it a hot air balloon moving very quickly.
