Portland, OR
I have a photo of the craft but like I said my friend was on the Casco bay bridge in Portland Maine and saw the unknown object he doesn’t really want to report it so I am doing it on his behalf The object is white and very bright it looks like a balloon. The moon was in the back of him so it couldn't be the moon and it was dark I wouldn’t say it was the sun either since it was dark and it moved around it was one object as well

I saw two objects in the sky on 2/13/2023 at 5:59p.m. I took pictures and video at 5:59 around 6:00 pm and at 8:00pm. These were hexagon shaped and had some type of light and poles or beam coming from all sides. The first one was closer to the ground and the second one was diagonal to the left above the first one. What I saw with my eyes are not the same as what my camera picked up. On film they look circular at some points or like dots. They do change shape. When I video recorded the object it moved all over the sky. You can see this in the video. My camera never moved but the object did. The 2nd object projected light and then the 1st one would move and vice versa. The sun was setting and both objects looked like a dark silver black color. I’m looking at the sky to the south of me. Not only did these objects move but they would hover in place for a half hour or more at a time. They could move up and down within a second and be back to there original position in a blink of my eye. The objects also would pulsate or change shape kinda like when a firework goes off in the sky. This is in the video. I was waiting to hear a noise or sounds but there were none. I did hear dogs in my neighborhood whimpering but other than that complete silence. It did look like the object above the first one emitted a light. This light was to the other object not to the ground. These objects had to be huge. Compared to the moon it was at least half that size or more. I’ve tried multiple times to upload the videos but it’s not working.

Winnetka, IL
Looked like a fireball stationary or slowly falling from the sky near O’Hare. Saw a commercial plane flying north out of ORD ahead of object. Object looked either stationary or slowly descending. Fireball-like with a tail. Moments later another commercial plane passed the object northbound. When I zoomed in on my camera, a distinct jet trail moved away from object in the southwest direction. I took pictures while waiting for the traffic light to change. My total view time was around 4 minutes, then continued home east down willow road. Contrail

At around 5:10-5:20PM on 2/13/23 I was outside with a coworker when I looked up to the sky and saw an object I could not explain. It was low flying in the direction of Northeast. White/Silver in color. The object made no noise as it glided overhead at a estimated *70-100mph* I pointed it out to my coworker as I was about to take a photograph. When I looked back up the object had become a speck in the horizon. Initially it was overhead. As I stated it was low-flying and made no noise. The plant where this was seen is very close to a regional airport. On 2/12/23 I saw a low-flying plane. With discernible wings, windows, and noise. The object seen on 2/13/23 had no wings. I have no idea how it was flying. Immediately after checked the flight radar. Which showed 3 jets on the horizon. Two to the east, and one to the west. These jets had visible trails, and one could be heard as it flew nearby. No flight on the radar showed a path that could’ve been the object in the air. I know this sounds like a hoax. It is not.

Santa Monica, CA
In Santa Monica, California, on the afternoon of February 13, 2023 I noticed a very bright orange glowing football shaped object through my window hovering across the street against the background of a large tree with a lot of foliage. It was about 12 -15 feet below the tree top. It seemed to simply appear. I could not figure out what it was so I kept staring at it for a minute or two. Then it flew directly in a straight line toward my window and me. It was low and passed over my apartment. I wanted to go out and watch it but knew the view would be obscured. There were no lights on it and no means of propulsion. It was not a balloon. It only occurred to me that it might have been a UFO afterwards. I had no thought of taking a photo of it while it was happening. I did not expect it to move from where I first saw it. I called the non emergency police department phone line on Thursday, Feb. 16, curious if anyone else reported it, but no one did.

The object moved very slow at the estimation of height of a helicopter's flight pattern. It was about the size of a large bus, cylindrical in shape, with a black glass type front end and silver metal type body with additional black side panels. There were what appeared to be 2-3 fin type appendages in the rear of it. I didn't pull over or stop my car because of traffic concerns. I literally passed under it as it moved toward the 15 freeway. Didn't appear to look like a blimp of any kind. No lights or noise from it. In the far distance toward the east was a commercial airline, but nothing close to it.

I was fueling up my semi truck when I noticed a helicopter overhead. I take pictures, to my surprise. I also captured an unknown craft underneath the helicopter. It was dark/ Greyish. It was about 500 ft up. Didn't notice the craft til after the fact. When I looked back at pictures and noticed the object.

Some 20-30 bits per hour. Some 1 at a time, others 5-10 in a group. They seem to reflect the sunlight and because they are small, maybe the size of a quarter or ping pong ball, just melt away into the blue cloudless sky. Others appear to be very high above the birds and move more direct so they are hard to predict their size. My husband saw them first and had me verify they were not his imagination or his eyes playing tricks on him. It was like watching someone blowing bubbles, but they did not look round. All looked irregular shaped and shiny clear. Could not get a picture because by the time you saw one you could not get a phone to your eye before it was gone. Had 3 different neighbors see them too. My husband and I went outside a lot to see if they were still appearing and stopped noticing them about 5:30 - 6:00 pm. The sun was getting lower in the sky by then. The sky was cloudless all afternoon and the jets that were there were extremely high and we are under the flight zone for Indianapolis International Airport even though were are about 1/2 hr. away from the airport itself.

It looked similar to a satellite but it was not on a trajectory like I've seen in the past it as well came into visibility in a point of the sky at random we're if it was a satellite or something I should have seen it from one horizon to another typicaly idk it just seemed different, idk how to explain it made me nervous with all this shit with china going on.

Video but I have video but I can't upload it so give me an option. I'm going to post a link and you can look at my Google photos on it. And download it yourself https://photos.app.goo.gl/BNxgza2kFYkWFa968 At 5:45 a.m. I stopped from the morning walk to look up at the stars I was facing west, sun had not risen, sky was clear temperature was about 35°, I was looking at the Big Dipper I could see it to my right when I saw, because satellites reflect the sun when it hasn't came up yet and I saw what appeared to be a satellite coming to view to my right which would have been North. It was a solid light dimming and glowing but just like any other satellite I've seen maintaining chorus is about 25° off the horizon low, when following the same trajectory but about a half inch higher or more toward straight up another one. Coming of you because of the sunlight I imagine and it was going slightly faster and as it overtook the other one it slowly changed its course to be right in front of the other one but as it passed the other one the other one seem to acknowledge it in some way because it started to follow it there were no sharp turns they were long slight course changes and I imagine they were at high speeds but the second one was following with the one that I saw first was now in pursuit or playing with the other one following behind it. This went on for the remainder of the minute and a half I put my camera on it I believe I caught some of it but all I could do is point at the dark sky and hope it got something cuz my screen is broke. I thought it personally could be drones but for them to cover the sky like they did as fast as they did I just know they were what I thought they were they were at least at that altitude I don't know if they were planes but there were no flashing and they're altitude is way up there and to turning like they were it was seem friendly but fun a little bit you know high-speed chase but not I don't know I just got this into the second one was offended.

Meridian, ID
I was awake at approximately 3:13am (I looked at the clock) and entered the darkened dressing area of my primary bedroom. Light was coming through the muted privacy window over my bath tub. It was so bright that I thought it must be a full moon because a full moon in a clear sky will shed light into that window. I looked outside through the blinds in my bathroom - which is part of the dressing area - and saw a bright, shimmering object sitting just above the tree line of my neighbors very high pine trees. I believe the object was much higher than the tree tops, yet from my vantage point, it was just above their trees. I looked away to be sure I was seeing something and looked back outside, and I was then certain I was seeing a bright object with a shimmering light; not a flat light. I studied it for a moment and observed that it was a oval/cylinder shaped object, and the surface appeared to have square shapes on it. The light was quite brilliant. I looked away and looked back at the object a few times...and it was still there. At 3am, I didn't want to go outside by myself and attempt to photograph this object. And I figured I could not be the only person who saw it. Even at 3:15am or so, I thought there must be a few people on the road that would see it. This location is right off a busy road; Eagle Road in Meridian, Idaho. I concluded I'd read about it in the news or on the "Nextdoor" neighborhood app. No one has reported a sighting. I looked at the moon this morning at 6:30am; not a full moon. A half moon. I know what I saw. Very, very odd. I've never seen anything like it. Address below is post office address not home address where sighting took place. Phone number is an old land line, as I don't want my cell number published. If needed, I can be reached via email and will then give my phone number.

Hastings, NE
I was sitting on the couch and noticed a very bright light coming through the window. I went to the window and observed the a strange bright shape overlapping the moon. I went upstairs and also observed it from multiple windows in several different rooms. I have witnessed eclipses in the past but this was not similar to any I have seen. The brightness of the object surpassed that of the moon which is why it caught my attention from the living room. There was a neon like green outline to the half circle shaped object. I took photos with my phone but the pictures do not capture completely what I was viewing. I have never seen anything like this. Weather conditions were clear with no wind gusts. There were no clouds visible. I watched and photographed the moon and object for approx. 1 hour and was still in the sky when I stopped my observation. Viewed in southeast night sky.

Friends were driving me back from playing lazer tag. When we were going down my lane we saw three bright blue lights flying in formation around each other for about 3 minutes. then it looked like the rocketed into the sky and vanished.

Me and my neighbor were noticing a large bright star. But it started moving. Then it started moving..we took pictures of it.. it was bouncing all over. Up and down and sideways.. my neighbor saw another one later. And she said her skin started burning, like fire.. she started praying and the heat left her.

The objects looked like small balls in a straight line. It appeared they were moving towards the ground in a row. There was six objects really bright white lights then they began to dim and each one went out and disappeared in order from rear to front. I observed them first then called my family out to see them. I am a veteran and served in the army field artillery and military police. The objects reminded me of flares from mortars but the location of them is not close to the military training area.

Franklin, MA
I first noticed a bright orange light while traveling on Rt. 140 from Bellingham towards Franklin. While stopped at a red-light on the highway bridge I noticed the light traveling over the tree-line towards the center of town. The light was bright enough that as I got closer to it I could see it and track it clearly through the trees. Way too low to be a plane and I rolled down the window to see if I could hear a helicopter (it was silent). I watched it fly fast above the trees about a half mile then stop (hover) somewhere between a shopping plaza and beaver st. I arrived at my destination at CVS and I could still see the light- I was closer and noticed there was an orange light in the center and a blinking green light on one side and a blinking red light on the other. The craft then started moving again but directly towards me (standing in the CVS parking lot) slowly. It passed over my head then over the roof of CVS and even through the glare of the CVS lights I was able to make out grey circular shape around the lights. It was hard to tell how large it was because I couldn't really tell how high up in was maybe 100 ft over the roof of the CVS and roughly the size of a small car. I was freaked out when I saw the craft shape and went into the CVS when I came back out two minutes later I could no longer find the craft. It was completely silent I could not even hear a drone propeller. The sky was also clear very few clouds.

Effingham, IL
I walked outside and looked up and saw 2 bright orange spheres in the sky over my neighbors house. I stood there for about 8 seconds questioning what I was really seeing. They were very bright and moving really quickly towards the northeast. I yelled for my girlfriend to come outside to check out what I was looking at. When she arrived outside one of the spheres blinked and disappeared the other one did the same about 3 seconds after the first one disappeared. There were multiple aircraft in the sky and none of them were traveling at the speed that these orange spheres were traveling. There was zero noise from these 2 objects. They were moving at least 10 times faster than the commercial planes in the sky. They were flying fairly close to each other but the distance is difficult to determine about how high and close together they were.

Arcanum, OH
While observing Venus and Jupiter, a point of light was seen 30-45 degrees to the North of Venus rising from the horizon. At about 30 degrees it appeared to be a well-lit contrail though the sun was well below the horizon . At 45 degrees, it became evident it was a straight-line formation of 18 or more white lights spaced at irregular intervals. At 60 degrees overhead, the lights brightened to the intensity of Venus and appeared to be made up of both points and rectangular lights. The formation was longer than the space between thumb and index finger of an outstretched arm. No aircraft navigation lights were seen, and no noise was detected. After continuing eastward, the lights rapidly dimmed out. No clouds were detected in the sky. Video was captured by other witnesses several miles away and both sightings were reported to the local Sheriff’s Department. In my opinion, given the size of the formation, the intensity of the lights, complete absence of sound, and lack of navigation lights, it is unlikely the formation was that of a commercial aircraft.

At 7:40 pm 2/12/23 I arrived from a trip from town and upon exiting my vehicle I noticed what appeared to be 5 Star like orbs in a line similar to orion's belt moving in a slow line for roughly 10 seconds then promptly vanished each dot disappearing in a eclipse like fashion. I've observed your starlink page, while they are similar looking there was only 5 orb shaped objects.
