Hovered over my sister's house low enough for her to see real well. Then it turned the lights in her own house ALL ON then ALL OFF, as if to say 'Hello, we see you'. Her friend was with her at the time and saw the whole thing too. Then the UFO disappeared in a flash."
6/22/2026 - Walker, Louisiana
What was reported - Large triangular/wedge shaped craft.
"This was at night so I could not make out any great detail, but the orange lights were far brighter than anything I would see on a regular aircraft and not in any arrangement that would make sense on a regular aircraft. The only sensible thing it might have been would be an aircraft on fire, which I doubt."

What was reported - Sliver orb stationary in the sky, then all of a sudden it disappeared like it was cloaking.
"I was driving my normal route to the gym when I looked up and saw an orb.

It lasted maybe 30 seconds then disappeared like it went into a cloaking mode."
