White "clouds" merge into translucent shape Mostly clear morning, looked up and saw what looked like two small white clouds very high in the atmosphere. The two clouds were "floating" very quickly, faster than a typical plane that high up. The white lines moved closer together until parallel, then "merged" into a translucent oval with white edges which faded.
I looked away for a moment and looked back and could no longer see the apparition-like structure.

Group of “stars” in perfect triangular shape At 23:15 me and my husband were looking at the stars. We noticed a bunch of “stars” in a perfect triangular shape pass over our heads heading south. We initially thought it was a flock of birds, but the birds would have been dark and not white looking like a group of stars.
In that perfect triangle were a few “stars” missing.There was no sound. It also flew seemingly faster than any plane.
It was definitely something we’ve never seen before. (My husband is military and live near a base so we are used to planes flying).

String of lights in morning sky At apprx 5:30 AM, 11/23/2019- I was looking up N,NW in the morning sky - zip code 23451- and i saw a long string of lights appear to come (possibly) down from out of view between orion the hunter and the little dipper and travel north, north west out of sight. The lights made no noise, traveled in a straight line - I looked up in the middle of the line so it had already started but I watched at least 40-60 lights pass by.

While viewing the NAS Oceana airshow, what looked like a bright, twinkling star was hovering high in the sky over the runway. There was no noise and I couldn't tell if the object was creating or reflecting light, but it was a cloudless and a very bright day.

Vertical craft seen over Atlantic Ocean, Virginia Beach Exact longitude and latitude at time of sighting: 36.854750, -75.969278.
I was deep-sea fishing on a commercial boat off the coast of Virginia Beach in 2019. Things are - granted - fuzzy, as I was on some decently strong psychotropic medication at the time. Luckily, I had the foresight to snap a picture, which jogged my memory wholly in the recent days - being swept up by the UAP information being released.
The incident stuck out in my mind due to recent news revealing that there's been a significant amount of sightings over the ocean. When I say was fuzzy I do mean it. I was out on the boat for maybe anywhere from one to two hours, and I had downloaded some podcasts to listen to while out fishing.
It felt as though in one moment there was nothing - and the next moment I looked up, there was an oddly vertical craft almost hovering above the water. The craft didn't seem to move strongly in any direction, almost hanging perfectly still directly in the center of my vision. As I mentioned before, I had the foresight to snap a photo.
Just about everything around the photo is useful - except for the damn image itself. What was incredibly apparent was that the object was very large and decently far away. It was a clear as clear could be on that day, however, so there was absolutely zero mistaking it.
The craft appears very blurry in the image, however, there's relevant detail that was automatically stored when I had taken the image due to the Google Photos app's data storage. https://ibb.co/VWnNw16 --- Here is a link to the image, you can check it on whatever site you'd want, ibb is a site I use personally.
The shape of the object was hard to pin down. I've tried doing some googling for similar images in the recent weeks and there's only one I seem to keep coming back to for the most accurate comparison of what I saw in the sky. https://ibb.
co/dQPp7sw Imagine if that craft was rotated ~45 degrees or so on its z axis. That's the closest thing I could describe it to. A pointy, vertically-oriented black craft hovering in the sky.
Even in my haze, I had mentally ruled out the possibilities of it being a singular bird (too big) or a helicopter (no visible rotors or obvious means of propulsion). Do with this info what you will - as a rule of thumb I'm not particularly interested in any sort of publicity, even though you may do with the info what you see fit to. I was not particularly interested in showing it to anyone at the time out of fear of stigmatization and am still not very interested in having my name attached to it.
The fact of the matter is, however, that this incident has stuck with me for years - and it should be seen by someone given the recent breakthroughs and some amateur research done by me that has pinned Virginia Beach as a "ufo hotspot" in recent years.

I was letting my dogs out. I saw a small bright orange light I the northern sky just below my fence line, so much so I had to stand on my toes to see it. It slowly rose and I no longer had to stand on my toes.
It contrasted against a street light and didn't look like the pale, white stars in the disrance.

Two objects, one with the structure and one just a light moving over our neighborhood then apparently chased away by jets. Fixed typo errors: I’m pretty sure I photographed 2 UFOs last night, 4/18/19 around 9:25 pm, in Virginia Beach, Courthouse Estates, Lancaster Village, from my yard. I am including photos.
Not the light beams, but 2 objects moving together at a perfect angle. It’s possible that the brown blue light was coming off of the structure of the craft. I don’t know One had a structure and the other was a round blue light.
They were totally silent and moving slowly then I lost sight of them. Then almost immediately several loud, low-flying jets flew over us, going in the same direction as these objects. You are welcome to contact me if you’d like.
Geez, I keep trying to submit this and making errors. That was supposed to say I have included photographs. And it should also say round blue light, not brown blue light.
((NUFORC Note: One of the objects, a small greenish circle, we believe is a lens flare. We are unable to identify the other object. PD)).

Object in sky appears to have exploded and disentigrating as it crashes into distace I just exited 64 west highway in va beach, onto Northampton Blvd. As I was at the intersection of diamond springs, I noticed an object falling from the sky. It was coming from the direction of Norfolk international airport and passing over east little creak naval expiditiary base and disappearing over shore dr area chicks beach.
It scared me it either look like a giant meteorite resend and disappearing but it really appeared to be some of plane that looked like it just took off from airport and burst into large fireball and was breaking apart as it disappeared while crashing in the distance. I have never seen anything like this ever and it scared me that I couldn’t find anything on local news about what happened. Yes I was sober and would not make this up.
Others must have seen this, it was massive and disappeared after about 10 to 15 seconds.

I was driving home from the grocery store and as I approached my home, I saw an orange orb glowing in the sky. I could not take my eyes off it as I was driving. I was mesmerized.
It appeared to be driving with me and when I got on my street, I stopped right in front of my house to just watch it and it did not appear to move. I then called my fiancee and told him to run out side. I then jumped back in the car and then the orb appeared to go back out into the night sky put stayed parallel to the landscape.
It was a clear night tonight. My fiancee saw the orb as well when it was flying away. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.
PD)).

Standing in the suburbs of Virginia Beach, I saw two different light anomalies moving across the night sky. It was a new moon and the stars were very bright. The light anomaly was a soft grey/silver color and looked like a trail left by an airplane, except the movement was in a sideways direction.
The light didn't measure across the whole sky either, so as I turned around, I could still see it in my peripheral vision. It slowly crept across the sky for about 5 minutes and disappeared. A second one happened about 5 minutes later, in a different position, moving a different direction.

Long-pause "strobe"? Enjoying the first clear night in a week, I noticed a bright white flash in the sky. It was brighter than the stars but only a pinpoint. It did not light up the area or the sky.
Not sure what I had seen, I payed close attention to that area and roughly 3 minutes later the same area of the sky, size and and duration white flash. Not sure what to make of this irregular, long pause "strobe." I know what aircraft look like both coming and going but this was not typical to what I've seen living less than a half mile from NAS.
Any ideas, NUFORC?.

White orb in the sky (anonymous) My son and I were sitting in the car in our driveway. We had just arrived back home from doing some errands. While sitting in the car I pointed out the clouds overhead and told him that it looked like an alien.
We both laughed and I decided to take a picture of the clouds to show his younger brother. It was amusing. We went inside and then carried in the rest of our groceries.
As we sat down and looked back at the photographs (one taken right after the other), we noticed that there was an white orb in the sky and that it had moved from its location in the first picture to another location in the second frame. They were both snapped at the same time, one right after the other with my cell phone. Neither of us saw the orb in the sky at the time, it was not the moon -- the moon doesn't move, plus we went back outside to look up at the sky to see if we could see the object.
It was gone. It looks like there are lights inside of the orb. Very strange.

I was outside facing east, speaking with a co-worker. The sun was coming up, civil twilight was well underway. As another co-worker approached I pointed to the eastern sky and said, “Wow, look at that!” An object ( obviously a meteor) was traveling north to south at what seemed to be a slow speed, and descending.
If I had held my hand in front of me at arms length I could have blocked it out, so it wasn’t huge, but closer than I have ever seen a “falling star”. The tail was quite long, as well, and I could actually see fire trailing the object. Again, it appeared to be very close to earth, flames were visible, and in the 5-7 seconds that the object was visible, I thought to myself, “This one is going to hit”.
The fire trail turned into more of a black smoke trail as it descended behind some trees and a building and out of sight. I waited a second or two for a sound or vibration indicative of a crash landing, but thankfully, none came.
