Virginia UFO Sightings in 2021

Full Report Text:

Occur 5:30 pm hovering over and flying across sky back and forth Upon getting out my car after making groceries. I let my son out of the car and started to get my groceries out of my car in the parking lot. My 3 year old son said " look mommy ", and pointed at the sky.

This mysterious light or UFO was flying over house and flying across the sky in circles around our house . It did at one point look like it turn a slightest green color but it was really quick. I can't explain exactly what it is until you look at the video and decipher what it looks like to you.

Airliner with lighting but without sound heading north then banking to the west and changing into small disk-shaped and disappearing I saw what I took to be an airliner with the kind of red light you'd expect to see on the fuselage. It was headed south. It was lower than normal for flights to and from Dulles Airport 65 miles to the East, I looked up expecting to hear the sound of the jets but there was none.

The craft then turned to the West and as it did it changed configuration from what I thought was an airliner into a formation of 20 or so round disks. The formation was kind of like a triangle with one of the disks spearheading the pattern. It was a tightly held formation.

They all stayed together going in one direction. The disks were silver in color but also appeared to be opaque as if you could look through them, but not quite. The disks then disappeared into the atmosphere.

They did not soar upward in doing so. I questioned what I had seen or what I thought I saw and even now am unsure I saw what I saw. I saw the craft through the small branches of a tree.

I was on one side of the branches and the craft was on the other, so whatever I saw or thought I saw was not visually right in front of me, but rather something I saw off in the distance. I am not claiming it was a UFO. I'm not sure what I saw.

There were no other aircraft in the area when I saw this. I am not asking to be contacted by an investigator but if one does that's fine.

Me and My cousin Kelly were bored, joking around trying to get abducted by Aliens. Me And my first Cousin were jokingly trying to get abducted by Aliens. I don't feel comfortable stating all the details, but I think we may have succeeded.

Neither of us have have any recollection of actually being aboard the UFO.

The object was distinctively different than the surrounding stars. The object appeared to be pulsating. Slightly traveling to the left however not noticible in the video.

When the motion sensor lights came on and the camera had a flash the object darted out of sight.

Bright, circular Fresnel-lens shaped light several times larger than Venus appeared and then disappeared after about 30 seconds While admiring the beauty of the clouds this morning, a UAP appeared directly in my field of vision. I started at it the whole time it, trying to detect and determine the nature of what I was viewing. It looked similar to a headlamp on a train and too bright to be a planet.

I checked and there are no planets anywhere near this part of the sky at this time. It did not appear to move in any direction and the shape and intensity of light suggested some sort of in-place motion such as spinning or oscillating. After about 30 seconds or so it vanished.

Morning sky was lightly cloudy and the light appeared to somehow be punching through the clouds. The sky lighting and color was in very high contrast to the object viewed. The spot was way too bright to be a planet, but the distance and size light intensity was wrong for it to be any kind of naturally occurring reflection of the sun.

Since the sightline is in the general direction of the US White House, I was curious and used a compass to get the direction of the sighting and plotted a rough trajectory to see where the vector would fall on Google Maps. My best guess about where I think the object may have been hovering based on what I saw, is indicated by the bold red arrow on the UAP_map_vector_2021-12-07_8-22-06.png image uploaded.

The area highlighted is between the White House and Andrews Air Force Base. I worked as a lighting design engineer in a previous career which developed advanced knowledge of human vision, perception and psychology of seeing. I don't seek out UAPs and this is the first time I have reported one.

I am reporting it primarily because of perceived proximity to important Federal institutions.

Single point of light pulsing high over, believed to be low earth orbit. 3 December 2021 I am at the Brookneal airport stargazing. It is cold approximately 42°, the sky is clear with a good view of the galactic arm following civil twilight.

The planets Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus were all visible. Pluto is there but not visible of course. Just following civil twilight I observed a star link train passing from west to east.

My first observation! Starlink train faded into the shadow of the earth nearly directly overhead. I observed six satellites total during the evening. While tracking one satellite another crossed my view and I tracked it as well.

I have observed three bolide meteorites. I have also observed the Andromeda galaxy. A puzzling observation is this.

Directly overhead and not far from the Andromeda galaxy I observed a blinking light. It appeared like any other star however it was not a dim flicker like observed by the affects of red shift, however it was a very clear on and off like blink. The interval appeared to be regular to the naked eye and over the time of approximately one minute appeared to consistently display the same brightness.

The blinking light faded from view and several minutes later returned with the same interval and intensity. However after several seconds of darkness, the blink changed to pulse. The scale of the light appeared to intensify to a peek before diminishing to darkness and then cycled through again.

The color was originally bright white but over time faded to a light orange. Over the course of time the position of the object relative to my position on the earth did not change suggesting a geosynchronous position above. The event lasted approximately forty-five minutes.

I thought this to be a piece of space debris tumbling and reflecting light.

A long array of lights, 75-100, bunched in a straight line, moving roughly eastward. My wife and I were outside comet and meteor hunting. We spotted a long line of lights, bunched together.

The lights were grouped randomly, in no particular pattern, other than together in a long, cigar- like pattern. As they moved to the east, over our farm, they slowly faded. We could still make out the vague shape of an object moving and blocking stars until clouds and the light from nearby town made it impossible to see.

We can't be sure of the altitude, probably very high, which would make this object an exceptionally huge one. Very strange, glad my wife saw it too, otherwise she wouldn't have believed me. Entire sighting lasted about 2 minutes, lights were only visible for about 30 seconds.

Light in sky seen hovering rather low in the sky. Light was about 3-4 times the size of a large star. Looked odd.

It was around 5:30 pm. It was dusk but still light outside. As my son and I were pulling out of the Walmart and turning left onto Franklin rd, I noticed an oddly bright, low, and large “star” in the sky almost directly in front of us.

I asked my son what he thought it was he said it could be a big star or planet. We both said it was still so bright outside to see a star and it was definitely too large for a star. I thought it was also very low in the sky.

Our light changed and I said well it’s probably a planet or something and we made a right hand turn onto Franklin rd and ran another errand. About 40-45 minutes later we were finished. It was now completely dark and we were heading home driving down Bent mountain rd when we spotted it again.

It was in the exact same spot but we were seeing it from the back side now. A different perspective from the first time we saw it. It was now a little more discernible.

It was very bright in the sky and lower than any other “star”. I now noticed it was oddly shaped. It was circular but with possibly an appendage coming from the top left area.

My son even said he thought something was coming out of it. It was now emitting a bluish green light from only the top left of the “craft” over the area where, what I thought was some kind of appendage. My son thought the appendage was just light glare.

The bottom of the “craft” was emitting white light. I could now tell it had a shape, meaning I could discern it was a 3 dimensional circular object. Not just a light in the sky.

It appeared to be a craft of some type. I cannot say how high in the sky it was, other than to say it was about 4x the size of a large bright star. My son thought it maybe moved a little but I thought it was stationary.

It was difficult to tell because we were driving about 45 mph on a fairly winding rd. I’m certain it never moved. We viewed it almost the entire drive down bent mountain rd.

I was driving so I only was able to look at it for a few seconds then turn my eyes back to the road. It was in view in the neighborhood of about 4 minutes. We lost sight of it once we got closer to 12 O’clock Knob rd.

We made our right hand turn on that rd and then a left onto Lost Mountain rd. I was hoping we would be able to see it again once we arrived at our house but we couldn’t from our elevation. We live in a Mountain area surrounded by trees.

Anyway, there were a lot of people on the road and I can’t imagine we were the only people to notice it. One other thing that may be helpful. We live about 30 min from Roanoke airport and we saw an airplane in the vicinity of the object.

A stationary bright light that changed to blinking red/green on the corners before zipping away. First there was a brilliant starburst shaped white light. I had no idea what I was looking at, couldn’t come up with any logical explanation.

It appeared stationary but from my perspective it could have been moving toward me and I wouldn’t have been able to tell. Then all the light went out and was replaced by green blinking on the corners as it quickly zipped diagonally to the forward left (moving toward me) and then out of my eyeline. Which I know sounds like a plane but for how quickly it changed direction and moved across the sky in relation to how close it was to me and to the ground, I just don’t think it was.

Too big to be a drone, it was silent so not a helicopter. Saw it out of my 3rd floor window at 6:06 AM EST, unobstructed view. It was higher than trees but not significantly.

When it moved to the forward left it was probably within a mile radius of me, but I’m not an expert at gauging distance.

Pulsating light doing 90 turns and zig zags before shooting off then disappearing Driving to work I noticed what I thought was an airplane until I noticed no aviation lights, just a pulsating white light like a star. I noticed it between 2 stars before it started moving. It would get very bright then real dim.

I slowed down to watch it then noticed it started moving. Very slowly at first, then gaining speed. I started watching as it started to make a couple sharp 90° turns and I knew it wasn't an airplane.

It took off very fast then slowed down and done a couple zig zag maneuvers before it stopped. Once it stopped it sat for 2-3 seconds before just disappearing but i never seen it fly off, it just vanished. I didn't have time to get my phone to take any pictures or videos.

It was only 1 craft that I noticed. I've never had any experience like this before. I'm an avid stargazer and have no reports of any mental health issues in my family.

I'm a healthy 29 year old male with no medical or mental health issues. There has been 1 other UFO sighting in my same small town back in the 1980's that I know of. Very strange sighting and have seen a couple stories of the exact same lights in other places.

About 6 very bright lights in sky White lights that looked almost LED, there were in a triangle shape and did not look like they were moving. We watched as we got off the interstate ramp to stop and get a picture and loss sight for less than 1 minute. Once we were able to see the location where they were, they were gone.

Saw one, but identified up to three possible UAPs while on a United Airlines flight over Virginia I took the pictures of the phenomena at 3:36 pm, 21 November 2021. I was on United airlines flight UA 2082, from Orlando, FL (dept- 1:45pm) to Washington Dulles International Airport (arrival 3:50pm). Pictures were over Northern Virginia (not sure exact location) as the aircraft was 15 minutes from landing.

I was on a window seat on the rear and right side of the aircraft. I saw an almost rectangular, dark shaped object that seemed to be stationary in the sky being that it did not seem to be moving. What surprised me was the size of the object, and the fact that it was stationary/did not seem to be moving.

I am in the military and have flown many times over many different countries and have never seen this type of object. I have also seen aerostat air ships, balloons, and even drones from aircraft while in flight, and this object did not look like anything I had ever seen before. While creating the PDF that I have attached, I saw in one of the pictures that there could have been up to two additional objects (so up to three) instead of the one that I saw.

The PDF has pictures and further details related to the phenomena I saw that day. I am happy to answer further questions.

Huge craft, size of a building (2ish football fields). Silent hovering over the highway in and out of clouds. No attempt to conceal.

Setting: Driver of a vehicle, overcast, medium to light traffic, headed northbound recently passing the Hampton Coliseum (~exit 263). I Saw(1): A massive ship "moving slowly across all lanes of the highway just above the trees, slowly enough for me to observe the ship with great detail approaching it. I am pretty sure I was in a state of awe as I kept driving.

MAYBE Missing time: I was on a short timeline to meet my brother in Richmond. No planned stops (full gas) 1.5ish hr drive.

I don't recall pulling over (I am the type of person that, when I drive, I don't like to stop if I don't have to) I Saw (2): I am in a parking lot at a fast food restaurant (don't remember) in my vehicle (backed in a parking spot) just off of the highway I was just on. Not enough time to process until I immediately see the ship again, and I am put into another state of awe. It's just over the highway still where I need to go.

I remember getting back on the highway and eventually passing under the ship. I was able to get an extremely good look at the underside of the craft (huge ship) while leaning forwarding looking up through my windshield. The craft was so long you could not see end to end of the ship when it was perpendicular to the highway from my vantage point.

The odd thing is I remember seeing the ship from two very different angles. The first sighting occurred after just passing the Hampton Coliseum, and again while in my parked vehicle at a fast-food place (I didn't have food in the vehicle) on a trip I never make a stop on. I am not sure if the gap in time was just from my inability to process the situation or if I simply pulled over in shock.

I have a Garmin Dashcam. I remember trying to have it recorded but it was not responding to my commands. No footage was saved when I checked the SD Card.

Ship description: (A VERY similar ship that I could say it looks like is the Arbitrator, from EVE Online. Seriously). Had characteristics of a V but not the flying V you can find in popular UFO google searches) -Green, red, and sometimes blue flashing lights.

-Red "under-dome" -Metal plating, clayish to rust color. -Piping and cables were black and situated behind the plating -exposed "intricacies" between the "gapped" outer plating -Silent -It's movement in the air was "glitchy" .

Looked like red lights - could have been a craft I want to report a two second sighting that occurred in the woods behind my house. I am not sure of the date it was either Nov. 11 or Nov.

12th 2021. I just started to focus on three red lights that were in a triangle shape where one light was above two separated lights underneath it. The lights immediately started to go out but not like a light switch.

The three lights seemed to melt away at the same time.

Light moving erratically in a northwesterly direction over Lexington, VA Well past dusk, saw a star twinkling and noticed it immediately jogged off in another direction.then zig-zagged again! It continued to 'zig, zag' very erratically but moved generally in a northwesterly direction. There were moments when it seemed to rotate as the light it was emitting became stronger, then weaker as it changed direction.

It was generally moving within a range of speed (no darting). It is overcast weather conditions, so it must have been at or below the cloud cover. as it proceeded northwest, I lost it in the cloud cover.

The entire length of time it was visible to me upon noticing it was approximately 3 minutes.

Full Report Text:

Unexplained round aerial object with no observable audible emissions observed. I observed a round fainting glowing white round object with a brighter outer ring and a darker center, definitely opaque, moving rapidly (it took about 2-3 seconds from my first observation from my deck, which faces east, until it was obstructed by my trees) at about a ~ 45-60 degree from horizontal moving from my left to the right, before it became obstructed by the trees. I noticed it when it was about ~ 10-20 degrees to my left when I was facing east.

It was below the cloud cover, which was light. It was silent. I did not notice any obvious signs that it was caused by ground or other illumination source.

I have never seen anything like it. Why is this website not https?.

Invisible Aliens in home My mother in law has been saying for over a year, that her home has invisible aliens attacking her. She can only see where they are when they turn on their red lights. They make horrible sounds in her ear.

One in particular follows her everywhere she goes. They bite her all over her body. She has had black bruises on her hands.

I have to wonder if this is just bruising because she is 91 years old. When she eats, she has to take a quick bite and then cover her mouth so "he" cannot get in her mouth. She claims one night she put on a huge coat and got in bed.

When she woke up the coat was on her backwards and she had to struggle to get out of it. She says she can catch them sometimes and squashes them to death. They also leave a horrible odor.

She is adamant that this is happening to her because she saw a UFO near her home about 45 years ago. All of this started after my father in law passed way. I am wondering if anyone else has had this happened to them or heard of such.
