On route 22 heading towards Blairsville. Near Johnstown exit, PA
We were driving on Route 22 towards Blairsville PA. It was somewhere between 7:30 and 7:50 PM. It was a long cylinder shaped object that had many small golden lights. They looked like the small golden sparkles that come out of a firework except they didn't sparkle. It moved to our left for about 30 seconds then faded out. My wife and I both saw it and she noted the Johnstown exit. We have driven this before at night and never saw this. It was impossible to tell how high it was or how big it was. There was no reference. It was fairly high in the sky and not close to the ground at all. I just want this reported so someone knows.

I was on the side of my house taking the trash out and leaving food for the raccoons and rabbits, etc and I always look up to the sky when it’s clear out because I look for planets and stars and such using my sky view app and I’ve becoming really good identifying stars and planets. Well I looked up and there’s this glowing streak of light like a train almost that was glowing and the light was nothing I’ve ever seen and the white light was magical almost. Anyways I freaked out and started recording and shouting to myself “wtf is that?!, omg wtf is that” and I stopped recording to get on my ring app to turn off the camera lights because there were so bright it was messing with my camera and right before I can get a good image/video (better than the one I have, I did record it!) it just vanished like almost disappeared or turned it’s lights off as if it heard me yelling or something. I don’t know wth that was and I’ve seen meteors before and the light/streak they emit and I can’t I’ve seen it all but I have been searching for videos of meteors to see if any resemble what I saw and I can’t find any. With all these flying objects being shot down I was a tad nervous and wondering wth that was. The object(s) was a long line almost like a train with even space between each light, and it was freaking long and glowing and moving at a steady pace and not fast at all, pretty slow moving east/northeast, it was roughly 20 objects/lights connected to each other, it was a clear sky and I can see stars and the moon clearly, there was NOT an aircraft/airplane tugging anything, I’m sure of that. The color of the lights were a bright white light. The lights glowed on and off, on and off, then off and I can almost still see it before it disappeared. Likely Starlink

Twinsburg, OH
Clear skies; starlit night. I saw a line of bright white lights that were at a 60-degree angle from my perspective. I initially thought was a contrail as I headed west on Glenview Dr. in Twinsburg. When I first saw it, it was directly to the west of me and I thought it was very high assuming it was a contrail; but a very bright contrail. What was odd is the length was constant; didn't change. There were no other contrails I could see. When I turned north on Liberty Rd to head home, I rolled down my window to watch its progress. I was thinking it could be a reflection on an object from the moon, but I didn't see the moon to the south or east. The string of lights never changed in length from what I could tell, but it followed me to the north and was getting closer. I thought perhaps it was the Goodyear Blimp with lights because it looked like the lights were moving (changing in brightness) like it was an advertisement of some sort, but figured it was not far enough to the north of me so I couldn't read anything. It was just bright dots of white light that was moving closer to me. This all took place in approximately a two to three-minute drive. I pulled into my development and stopped the car heading to the east and looked straight up. I wanted to take a picture of it, but when it got right over me, I watched it fade away. I looked around and didn't see anything; didn't hear anything. That was it. I got home a few minutes later and looked back towards where I drove from and saw nothing. I saw other planes flying through the sky, but no contrails. Likely Starlink

Moving East to West. Three-hundred feet long, three-thousand feet high, speed about five-hundred mph. Craft transparent with no outline — background stars shown between all the lights. Could have been a "light show" only, with lights held in fixed relationship to one another by unknown means, only appearing to be attached to a rigid object. Made no sound. Just before it/they would have disappeared behind the roof overhang of my house, the lights melted away, as though entering heavy cloud cover. But there were no clouds; it was a starry night!

I was outside ice fishing and noticed huge strange pulsating lights. Thought it was a blimp with a lighted letters trailing after it. Then I realized it was too huge for a blimp. I took pictures and then suddenly it just disappeared.

West Jordan, UT
I was outside looking towards Salt Lake City and I noticed 2 bright white lights, East of the Big Dipper, that were slowly moving. The 2 bright lights continued slowly moving toward each other, when a 3rd white light appeared, and all 3 lights began moving toward a central point. Before the 3 lights got to each other, all 3 lights slowly disappeared and never reappeared. The bright white lights were not blinking. Commercial aircraft were flying in the area in their normal path to the Salt Lake City airport. This occurred about 10 minutes before the Starlink satellites passed overhead from West to East.

My roommate and I were outside doing chores. She stayed by the burn pile while I went to my work shed maybe 10 yards away? I heard her yell my name and tell me to “come over here” When I got close, she pointed to the sky. I turned to look and saw three, very bright & large, ‘orbs’ in the sky. They stayed stationary and kept their circular shape as they cycled through colors. They were lined up at an angle. The middle one was slightly above and to the right of the bottom one, and the top one was slightly above and to the right of the middle one. * * * I had seen objects in the area many years ago and watched in anticipation to see if they would do the same as the ones before. The top one started fading away and I realized my phone was in the shed. I ran to get it and when I came out, the bottom one was all that was left and had started fading but, I got a short video of it. I’m in an extremely small farming community and the night sky is much clearer than in the city. My background: 20+ years in college for ‘Early Childhood’ and working with/teaching young children. I ‘retired’ from that about 6 or 7 years ago( at about 40 yrs of age) to start a business (resale shop), and I now own/operate another store. I had about 3-4 beers while I was enjoying the beautiful day and had been working in the yard. My roommate has had some mental health issues in the past (due to drug addicted parents) in the form of suicidal tendencies. But, she is a strong, intelligent, and a focused small business owner and does not cause drama or worry for me. (I’ve had my share of ‘crazies’ here and had watched her for over a year before I reached out to help and allow her to move in) She had been working at my store for me and had only one or two beers when the incident occurred. You may contact me if you need to.

Saw these lights evenly spaced only 15-20, moving towards Chattanooga/ north Ga - my view is from Huntsville/ grant area towards skyline/ it moved that direction quickly and seemed to get closer. Likley Starlink satellites.

Standing in back of a friend's yard and we saw what looked like 2 white lines turned into string of lights into what appeared to be a sphere from a different angle and then it appeared the lights were coming from the middle of a saucer shaped ship that moved a little further before lights turned off completely

I was on the sidewalk walking my dog in my neighborhood. I heard a really weird and quick sound from above so I looked up into the sky. While I was looking my dog started whimpering and tried to go back to our house. I saw like a cylinder shaped above just floated away. There were lights that would change color super fast until it went back to white. I thought it might be a plane until I looked it up, it was definitely not a plane. To my eyes, it was blurry around it and it was foggy. I went to check my phone to see the time, it said 4:20. I left my house at 4:10 and had definitely been walking for 20-25 minutes. It didn't make sense, my phone then shut down while it had a full battery. By now my dog had been really tugging, so I walked back to my house. When we got home my dog ran into her crate. This is super weird, she hates going into the crate and never goes in it.

Observed brightly shining traveling south away from position. Thought it was another spy balloon. Took out phone and began recording. While watching, the orb appeared to have disappeared. Later review of the video showed orb did not dissappear, but rather flew away at a high rate of speed, following a arched trajectory.

2/12/23 330 AM. I was driving home from a bartending shift and I saw a bright round white light moving through the sky horizontally and then disappear. It was about 20 feet above the highway lights. It had no streak or fire qualities and moved smoothly before vanishing. At the same time above a green overhead freeway sign (by steel bridge on 1-5 northbound before exit 302a) there was an object hovering 4 feet above sign that was the size of a slightly flattened basketball (slightly elliptical in shape, looked like a metal shell encompassing a round light similar to moving one. It also had It had 2 teardrop shaped lights pointing toward the middle circle of light. (The points of the teardrops pointing at an angle towards the circle, all glowing like it was lit within) it was hovering and saw it really well in street lights. It had no blades or propellers or moving parts. At that time the alarm on my phone started going off. I never set an alarm for 330am yet it went off as this was all happening in a span of 3-5 seconds.

Fort Atkinson, WI
While working as a security officer guarding a construction site at night, I had stepped out of my car to stretch my legs when I noticed several lights that resembled aircraft landing lights low above the horizon to the ENE of my location. The way that these lights moved seemed odd to me so I got my monocular (10x magnification) to get a better look at them and saw that, aside from the single white light, there were no running lights at all. I continued to watch the lights (up to 3 at a time) as they faded in and out for half an hour, during which I took both video and still shots of them.

Around 10:30 pm. I was walking home from a home store. Walked down the hill to my neighborhood. Noticed a red light blinking over the neighbors house. It was a bright red object. I heard a high pitch sound coming from the object. I recorded the object but it was only 8 seconds long. I was paranoid so I speed walked home. It felt so uncomfortable walking home. It was going in circles but was going towards up north.
