At approximately 3 a.m. July 1st, I opened an upstairs skylight window, as I like to stand there and look over the park across the street to the east. When I turned around to face west and looked up at the stars, I noticed a bright white light like a pinpoint. The light was moving steadily eastward and I lost sight of it after about 30 seconds. When I looked back west I noticed that there were two more white pinpoint lights moving in the same direction. The light in front went in the same direction as the first light I saw. As I as keeping track of light #2, I looked back at number three and noticed it was veering to the right slightly. Prior to this sighting, I have only seen two other UFOs. So it was extremely exciting to see three in a row like this, and I looked up at the stars to the west where they had come from and saw there was another, white pinpoint light appearing. That’s when I thought, they must be entering the atmosphere to the west of me and travelling east. In total I saw six, white pinpoint lights of the exact same brightness, moving at approximately the same speed and direction. All six appeared in the same area, were at a very high altitude and never blinked or fluctuated.

First spotted 3, then several more came after. Some together, some on their own. Looked like it could be satellites but unsure as the satellite tracker said none overhead? Took a minute or two to pass the skyline.

05:12hrs Wednesday 26 February 2020 Location: Sunbury on Thames, West London, UK A completely clear sky with stars visible against a black sky (as well before sunrise/dawn) Whilst looking up at the sky I saw large triangle shaped object silently sweep across the whole sky in towards east. It had 3 large visible semi circle orbs underneath, with were pulsating slowly in an orange/yellow hue. What I also noticed was that the whole of the triangle craft was what I would call partially cloaked, in that it appeared to be somewhat see through. What caught my attention first was the 3 lights and I was able to make out the shape of the partial surrounding triangle afterwards. The object seemed to be as large football pitch, and also appeared to be well within our atmosphere. At around 05:50 the same morning I witnessed the Space X Elon Musk ‘Starlink’ constellation of satellites, pass in a linear fashion, but much much higher overhead.
