Damascus, MD

Full Report Text:

Red sphere transitions into an eye. Saw many red fireball spheres moving sequentially across the sky along a path through the property over Damascus, Maryland on December 31, 2020 just before midnight on New Years Eve. These same orbs look like the ones seen in Kiawah Island just off the South Carolina coast, about 25 miles south of Charleston on Christmas Eve 2018.

They were identical with a multidimensional glow. I would say they looked more like living organic cells that transformed from an internal yellow to a central darker nucleus or went through some nuclear transformation or altering gene state when it passed over head and got closer to me video taping. Between scene shot 1.

58 to 1.59 you see this cell cycle transition in the sky.

4 orange lights , one behind the other. Then a 5th one going faster to catch up. One by one they all went dark.

five orange lights , round, about the size of the letter O in a persons normal handwriting but up in the sky , of course,. The first four were in line ,or formation, one behind the other. They were coming in from about 30 degrees to the west, or to the left, from where North is on the compass.

And then we saw the 5th one. It had been lagging behind and was flying faster than the 4 so I“m assuming it was trying to catch up. They were silent, flying about as high as helicopters do.

Then one by one they went dark. Lasted about 3 minutes. It was 11:10 or 23:10 military time no clouds in the full, moonlit evening sky.

And even with binoculars we could not see the shape of the aircraft.

Out back on my patio, my wife and i saw a very large orange orb floating through the sky. Got video and picture if it. It came up slowly, and continued into the atmosphere until the light was too dim to see.

I watch the stars nightly, see planes, helicopters, shooting stars. Im able to recognize planets, stars, and constellations in our night sky. This was most definitely not a man made light.

It was quite visibly something we have ever seen before. This is the 3rd time ive witnessed unusual activity in our area of the sky.

Ashland, NH

Full Report Text:

Large, brightly glowing orange spheres, which moved in a pattern of hovering and rapid movement. At approximately 10:30pm, my parents whom reside next door, were walking down their driveway toward ours. They observed in the sky, a large intensely glowing orange ball.

The elevation was difficult to perceive, but at minimum it was larger than our car (2020 Ford Explorer XLT); if higher, it could’ve been as large as a house. The object hovered, moved forward quickly, hovered again, moved forward, and repeated this pattern for several minutes. My mom came inside our house, terrified, and mentioned she felt tingly and fearful, as my dad was outside still watching it.

My husband (a local police officer) went outside and watched the first orange-glowing object move beyond the trees. The observed a second large orange glowing sphere and my husband asked me to come outside, quickly. I saw the object; the orange glow was quite intense.

The large object moved, hovered and continued to move. It suddenly seemed to “burn out”, losing its glow comple! tely. My father took several photos; in the photos a “tail” is visible but it was not visible to us/the naked eye.

In one photo, of the first glowing sphere I believe, you can distinctly see three orbs of orange light, with a dark/black perimeter. We initially thought a meteor, but the objects hovered, moved, hovered - which seems atypical of a meteor. They seemed too large to be drones, and the second “burnt out”/faded completely, which also seems unlike a drone.

Im happy to include photos upon request!.

Yellow light moving north over Oak Island NC Yellow light moved from south to north and disappeared. As it passed the light turned red and faded out. It was brighter than a star or planet.

It looked similar to landing light but no flashing wing lights were seen and I could hear no noise. Object appeared relatively low and certainly under 5000 feet. It kept on a straight path.

Anyone else see this?.

Two Light Orbs Appear for 5 Minutes in Night Sky Count: 2 Shape: round orbs Colors: both reddish/orangeish/ yellowish Sounds from Orbs: silent Light: the light glowed and emitted light rays from the center, and the center of the orb was the brightest part. The light did not twinkle, change color, or blink. The light faded and disappeared in plain sight after 5 minutes of viewing.

The light did not reappear in any other direction even after watching for another 5 minutes. The fading was simple, as it was see through after it faded away into as the night sky. Movement: The orbs did not make any quick movement from right, left, up or down.

They simply traveled towards us in one direction. Travel direction: they were traveling from the northwest direction coming towards us. They were separated by thumbs distance.

When i extend my arm and raise my hand, use my thumb,and close 1 eye, the distance in between the two objects were a thumbs distance aka the distance between my wrist to my thumb nail. Altitude:The 2 orbs were at different altitudes, one orb was about 45 degrees lower in altitude when compared to the higher altitude orb, and the lower altitude orb appeared to be furthest linear distance from us. Linear distance from viewer: estimated to be between quarter mile to a mile.

Any obstructions: No. But there are 20' tall building and they did not obstruct the orbs. No trees were taller then the buildings.

Viewed: standing on the ground at around 100' elevation Weather: clear night no sky cover no clouds. I could see other stars in the sky. Fireworks: In CA people celebrate the east coast new year at 9:00pm so i could hear fireworks but i could not see them.

There was no smog in the air from any of the fireworks i was hearing. i couldn't smell any smoke from fireworks either.

orange light traveling east then slows, turns north and stops. 20 seconds later fades out On December 31st at about 21:00 hours I just finished dinner and walked outside and sat down on the patio. I noticed two aircraft flying in the southern sky from the west to east, one larger, higher up and further out and one smaller closer and lower in altitude.

Then out of the corner of my eye I saw another aircraft flying the same path in the space between the two other aircraft but behind. The speed of it did not seem out of the ordinary. This one got my attention.

I got up and walked out away from the patio and watched it. What caught my attention was it was orange with no other blinking lights as general aircraft would have. I was trying to see other lights on it and its altitude verses the other aircraft traveling the same path.

My initial thought was it was higher than both. Then I saw it slow and seemed to turn north but then stop. I thought only a helicopter can do that but its too high and no other lights can be seen on the aircraft.

Now I am wishing I had my camera. It stayed in that position for about 15 to 20 seconds then just faded out. My thoughts where it left the sky in a southern path directly in opposite line with my sight of it.

I have seen over the year’s flairs dropped during military exercised in the very distance and I have seen missiles launched also. This was neither. I stood and watched for about 10 minutes the area where the light faded out to see anything and nothing appeared, it was gone.

During the entire time of this sighting, I witnessed no sound from the aircraft. I am only making this report because of these facts, I have never seen anything like this in my 58 years. We live south east of Sky Harbor Airport and have seen large jets to small aircraft in our southern skies for 35 years.

The sky was clear, and this object traveled in a horizontal path with no discernable arch.

Triangular-Egg shaped craft caught in still photo north of Klamath Falls, Or. Attached is a 7 second long exposure shot taken on my iPhone 11 Pro 12/31/2020 at 8:50 pm on highway 58 headed south towards Klamath Falls I believe between Odell and Crescent Lake. My girlfriend and I were driving south down 58 and I kept having an impulse to look to my left window as the moon was dazzlingly bright and the night sky full of detail.

I decided to slow my car to a halt in the middle of 58 as it was almost 9:00 pm with cars neither ahead or behind me as far as the eye could see. After I stopped my car I killed the lights and turned it off. It was dark ahead, behind, and all around me the only details to be seen were what was illuminated by moonlight.

I stepped out and standing as still as I could muster took a 7 second long exposure shot of the night sky which initially I thought nothing of. Two days later while inspecting the photo I noticed 3 red lights in the top left of the frame in what appears to be a round or egg shaped-something in the cloud. If anything could be gleamed from this I love to hear proposals for what could contribute to the phenomenon seen in the photo given a long exposure 7 second time-frame on an iPhone 11 Pro in the dead of night with no possible light interference.

Glowing Sphere over roof tops at Merrill Ranch in Florence AZ Driving on our way home in the early evening on Hunt Highway southbound nearing the Florence Hospital. About 1.5 miles away after passing the butte formations, my wife and I immediately noticed a glowing orange-red “jelly bean” shaped sphere hovering over the southern end of Merrill Ranch Sun City residential development near the Police and Fire Station.

We have a lot of air traffic in the area for PHX and nearby AZA. The AZA air traffic is mainly student pilots flying light aircraft at about 5,000 feet (night and day) right over Merrill Ranch and are easily heard from their engine noise and located with their lighting. So when we saw an aerial object not making any noise and stationary it has a high strangeness to us that cannot be ignored.

The glowing sphere was so out of place due to its very low altitude, color and lack of noise such as a medical helicopter would make from the Hospital or an Army Helicopter from the nearby military reservation. Normally the Army Helicopters would fly much higher, i.e.

, 3-5,000 feet AGL. As I made a left turn eastbound off Hunt Highway to a side street. My wife reacted with mounting concern because the object was not moving and it seemed to get a little larger as we were closing distance to it.

So I slowed down to about 10 MPH and she rolled down her window and stared at it for about 30-40 seconds looking south and it was silently stationary at 75-100 feet above the roof tops. We noticed that there were a lot of dogs barking in the neighborhood. At the time we thought it was due to coyotes running through the neighborhood, but in hindsight it may be related to the observed object.

At this point she had the only view of it and told me it decreased its color temperature to a dull rusty red color and then just disappeared. We were 800 feet down range from its position and It seemed to notice that people were observing it. I have had a prior close encounter in November 2020 and this object may be the same one from November.

I will report that separate. The weather at Merrill Ranch was clear skies, some low level dust/haze, cool temperatures in the upper 40’s with light and variable winds from the northwest at about 5-15 knots. I am a former U.

S. Military Service Member with combat experience and my wife is a career management professional. The event left both of us with an uneasy feeing, that something so quiet could silently creep through a populated residential area virtually undetected.

6-7 Orange/Red UFOs On New Year’s Eve, 2020, at about 6 p.m, I was with my mother driving to the bank on the way home. As I turned a corner on the street for a bank, i noticed bright orange/red things flying in the sky.

There were about three of them who traveled close together. I went to park and they were flying above us and disappeared before our eyes. Then two more appeared behind a McDonalds it seemed, but it was just so high in the sky.

They went to where the previous went and disappeared very very high above us. Two more then came and the same thing happened. My mom said it was lanterns and I knew it wasn’t.

I was recording and when I zoomed in I was amazed. It was a ginormous reddish-orange energy looking ball that was seemingly pulsating in and out to gain speed. It kind of looked like the bottom of a UFO like it was traveling sideways.

On the inside of the orbs there was another circle inside another circle. I have footage as well.

White glowing tictac or cigar shaped craft spinning completely silent heading north in the surprise AZ sky We don’t get rain to often in Phoenix and it’s surrounding suburbs but that particular day it was overcast and I was in my backyard looking East when I noticed an unusual objected spinning in the air that had a white glow to the entire thing and was tictac or cigar shaped and had no hard edges it was completely smooth and round on every corner. It immured a white light from the entire object all what would be considered its 6 sides (top, bottom, left side, right side, front and back) it also made no noise what so ever and was heading north. The city of surprise sits about a thousand feet higher in elevation to the entire phoenix valley and surrounding suburbs so you can see the entire valley and sky for over 100 miles.

I’m located near a air force base and see Air Force jets daily and nightly flying around the area and towards the valley and because you can see the entire valley and the skies above it you can also see the commercial airliners who get in line! for landing and after take off that takes place to the east of me approximately 15-20 miles and living out here the last 17 years it’s very easy to identify both the commercial planes along with the air force jets. The craft I saw looked nothing like any of the commercial or Air Force planes I’ve ever seen as this object omitted a glow around the entire object and spinning so you could see the long side of it and the smaller side as it rotated and again omitted a glow from all 4 sides of it. It was in the shape of a tictac or cigar shape where it was long on the sides and half the length on the other two sides and appeared to be completely rounded on all the corners.

It also made no noise what so ever and living here for 17 years you know when the planes are out because you hear them before you see them always. It was traveling North and that made no sense as NO aircraft that I have ever witnessed has traveled North from where this object was sighted, you will see the jets! fly east and then turn north for a brief moment to start head! ing west towards the base again but this object was way to far west and way to high up to be a jet and again it looked nothing like them what so ever. The object continued north for approximately one minute and twenty seconds I recorded it and have the film of the object at which point I lost sight of it due to the roof of the house so I immediately went out front to see continue to recorded the object as it headed North however it was gone and had completely disappeared after that, I stayed out front and looked for the object for over 15 min with no sign of it.

This object caught my attention because of its glow and the way it was spinning, when both commercial planes and air force jets are in the air they are dark and often look black against the blue sky and especially against a white/light grey sky like it was that day and this object was the complete opposite. I’m a avid sky watcher and this is the first time I’ve ever seen a UAP or an object that I couldn’t say was either the ! Air Force jets or a commercial airliner or even a small personal aircraft this object looked nothing like anything I’ve ever seen before.

UFO In My Backyard On New Year’s Eve This was the most incredible thing I ever saw. It was like something right out of a movie. I would have tried to capture it on video, but I really thought it was just a small car, or a couple of snowmobiles, until it took off, and by then it was too late, because it took off too fast.

I live next to a school, which is now closed and abandoned. On one side of the school is a baseball field and a soccer field. The soccer field is behind the baseball field, and it is surrounded by bushes and trees.

There is a small hill beyond this area, which leads to where I live. When I look out my kitchen window, I can see part of the baseball field, as well as some of the bushes and trees which surround the soccer field. So what happened was I was eating supper at my kitchen table and glancing out my kitchen window every so often while I ate, which is what I usually do.

It was completely dark outside and the light I was eating by in the kitchen was only very dim. I usually like to eat eat in semi-darkness like this. Well, I was about halfway through my meal when I noticed three dim lights out my window- two white lights and one red light.

The lights were lined up in a row, which seemed to be curved slightly. I judged the distance of the object(or objects) to be right about between the baseball field and the soccer field, right behind some of the bushes and trees. At first I didn’t think much of it because I figured it was either a small car or a couple of snowmobiles, even though I didn’t see any exhaust and I didn’t hear any sound.

Anyway, the object just sat there in front of me, without moving, for about 35 minutes. I finished eating, all the while keeping an eye on it. When I was finished eating, I decided to sit and watch it for awhile, to see what would happen, to see where it would go.

And I was still almost completely convinced it was just a small car, or a couple of snowmobiles, even though I thought it was a strange place for someone to be parking- especially considering that the school has been closed and abandoned for quite a long time now. It didn’t take long for things to start getting both weird and fascinating. As I was sitting there in the semi-darkness staring at it, suddenly one of the white lights got really bright, like a really bright flashlight.

Then the light started to rotate! Shortly after that, the object began moving along the ground towards the bushes, and, therefore, closer to me. When it reached the bushes, the entire middlle area lit up with bright white light and started to rotate! Even though it never went completely through the trees to the building where I lived, it came close enough to me so that I thought I saw windows! The windows were all lit up with bright white light, and they were rotating about the middle! It continued moving slowly along the trees like this, still without making any sound, and without giving off any exhaust! I could even see the light reflecting off the trees! Well, eventually, after about thirty seconds or so, it reached the end of the soccer field. At that point I expected to see it fly off into the sky, but instead the weirdness continued.

Instead of flying off into the sky, it appeared to fly right into the trees, but without disturbing the trees at all, except for reflecting bright white light off them. Then the light went out and it disappeared! It seemed to just wink out of existence! Then it was gone. And everything was completely dark again.

It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen in my life- and I’m a 49-year-old disabled male. I’ve actually been wishing that it would return and make a repeat performance, if for no other reason than so I could capture it on video.

Green triangle rapidly and silently moving East On 12/31/2020 at approximately 06:37 UTC (01:37 local/EST) I was in vicinity of the approach lights of Runway 35R at KMCO (this is shortly North-West of Lake Nona) when as I looked to the West I saw movement directly above me. What I observed was a triangular shaped aircraft flying on an approximate heading of 090, at a very high speed. The trailing edges of the object were illuminated in a neon green and they appeared to flicker similar to the way an NE-2 neon lamp or high pressure sodium street lamp flickers when you move your eyes as you look at it.

It looked very similar to the triangular shaped highlighters many of us had in school, where each corner of the triangle was a different color marker tip. The object appeared to be flying above or in a 5500' cloud deck (per the ATIS) and it covered perhaps 1/2-1/3 of my observable sky in under a second. I would estimate the object's speed to be approximately 300-500kt.

, it was well above the speed one might observe a typical commercial or GA aircraft upon departure. There was no sound or overpressure associated with this object and since I am unsure the height I am unable to determine the size of the object. It appeared about as big as a man's hand when viewed at arm's length, but again I am unsure of the size of the object.
