Spinning stationary 'bicycle wheel' of coloured lights

Stood outside my house, I saw a spinning circle of coloured lights in the western sky on Feb 5th 2025 at about 22:00. It was a very clear night, so I noticed it straight away as distinct from stars. I have no idea how far away it was or how high, but it was a long way from the horizon and I could see planes from our local airport flying behind it. I stood watching it, expecting it to move away like a drone, but it stayed completely stationary so I started to film it with my Samsung A1 at 22:08 (38 secs). I then went inside and fetched my daughter's OnePlus, which has a much better camera and filmed it with that at 22:19 (55 secs). After about 20 minutes of it not moving, I went in to fetch my husband's camera (which sadly wasn't charged up), and he came outside with me to see it.

With the naked eye it just looked like an upright circle - O - and we both agreed looked kind of like a bicycle wheel with lights around the rim. The ring itself was blueish in colour but the lights themselves were coloured green, blue, white and were spinning really fast. There was no sound or movement at all, and although it didn't seem to be behaving like one, we assumed it was a drone. I went back inside to see if the camera had charged enough to use, and when I returned (roughly 22:30) it had gone.

By NUFORC / National UFO Reporting Center

The National UFO Reporting Center was founded in 1974 by noted UFO investigator Robert J. Gribble. The Center’s primary function over the past four decades has been to receive, record, and to the greatest degree possible, corroborate and document reports from individuals who have been witness to unusual, possibly UFO-related events.  Throughout its history, the Center has processed over 150,000 reports, and has distributed its information to thousands of individuals.

The principal means used by the Center to receive sighting reports is this website, which has operated continuously since 1994.   Prior to that period, the telephone hotline and the U.S. mail were the primary means of taking reports.   

The Center’s independence from all other UFO related organizations, combined with its long standing policy of guaranteed anonymity to callers, has served to make it perhaps the most popular and widely accepted national UFO reporting facility anywhere.   The website and hotline are well known by law enforcement agencies, FAA ARTCC’s and flight service stations, National Weather Services offices, military facilities, NASA, and many 911 emergency dispatch centers all across the United States and in many parts of Canada. Those entities routinely direct the calls they receive regarding possible UFO sightings to the Center.

One of the Center’s policies, which distinguishes its operations from most other UFO organizations, is that it makes available to the public all of its data in summary form. Detailed information is made available to experienced UFO investigators.   

The National UFO Reporting Center is a non-profit Washington State corporation, and it is applying for federal 501 C (3) non-profit status.
