Moore Haven, FL
I was watching the green comet, C/2022 E3 ( ZTF), for the last time that night on 2/11/2023 at approximately 10:00 pm eastern time when I noticed what appeared to be a satellite moving across the sky. But quicker and dimmer and way further away than any satellite I have ever seen. I lowered my binoculars to follow it with my naked eye and as one should be able to do and it wasn't there. I put my binoculars back up and saw more. One after another in procession but could not see them with my naked eyes. I go tell my boyfriend, who is in the house, ro come and confirm what I'm seeing. I line up the view on the binoculars and tell him to look from Polaris where they just appear and follow them by Capella to Orion and where they just vanish. He could only see them with binoculars too. And confirmed what I saw. They literally just appear from what seem to be the Polaris star system. And they are moving faster than any satellite I've ever seen. Not brightly lit. But moving quickly. It wasn't Starlink. They were spaced too far apart and too far away to be seen with out visual aid. And they just faded out. There was no following them after they passed through Orion. I counted over 40. I just quit counting because I have no idea how many were there before and I just did not see them. My boyfriend counted 22 within a minute. Any ideas? Any body else see what I saw?

Jackson, MI
Around 10 pm on Saturday 2/11/23. It was a beautiful night, clear skies, stars everywhere. I noticed a blue flashing light. Didn't have my phone on me, so I went inside to get it. The object was in the same spot, just sitting there flashing. So I snapped a few pics and took a not so good video. It was up there a long while, hour maybe longer. Pretty curious on what I witnessed. If you can figure out the heck that was, I'd be interested. Thanks for your time.

5 triangles in a formation close together , almost transparent, glow light , but faint light pulsing from each of the triangles kind of like a firefly light. That’s what caught my attention I watched it as it was heading south for about 10-15 seconds then it all just vanished. It’s a super clear night tonight . Never have witnessed anything like it

I witnessed rectangular object hovering in the distance with blue, and possibly red lights, Southwest to me from my home in Kingston, New Hampshire. It was large and rectangular. I believe there were clouds that night, but there’s no question that I saw some thing peculiar in the sky.

Antlers, OK
Me and husband are in a place very little light pollution and we were outside admiring the stars when we saw something very unusual. The movement patterns were not of anything we have ever seen before. It shined brighter then all the stars. At first we thought helicopter or satellite but after the movements and it staying in around the place we knew it was something else, especially when it completely disappeared.

Coming home from dinner with my wife, turning into our neighborhood and saw a green glowing orb heading down 33rd west ave very fast. It takes a sudden right turn and heads east and vanishes.

Streak of light very high in the sky, repeating itself with moments of darkness between. I observed it more than 15 times over 10 minutes.

Walla Walla, WA
Spotted near Frenchtown Historic Site. Object looked like a pale yellow glowing line travelling perpendicular to its length. It was about 1.5 degrees of arc in length. It appeared to our east about center sky and travelled due north until it was about at 45 degrees from the horizon at which point it suddenly disappeared. I thought it was a meteor at first but meteors are usually a point of light, not a narrow band travelling sideways. Could have been some debris entering the atmosphere but it would have to be huge to look that long. There was no noise. It did not flicker or wave. It was gliding too smoothly to even look real. It did not appear to speed up or slow down. There was no way for us to discern its elevation. Conditions at the time: Visibility: 16 miles Temperature: 40 degrees C no cloud cover Pressure: 13.24 mm Hg Wind ~3 mph NW Location of observers: 46°03'03.4"N 118°30'34.8"W

Higganum, CT
Watched it as I drove for 20 minutes. First spotted over Rt 84 and continued to spot it till I got to my destination in Higganum. Stayed in one place over what I think was Higganum or Killingworth, Ct. appeared to be triangular but not sure of that. I can tell once I stopped driving that it did not move at all.

A white cylinder, rounded on both ends, about 5 or 6 times longer than wide. No wings, no contrail, no sound. The direction of travel was from east, north east to west, south west and was traveling in a straight line at the apparent speed of commercial airlines we see several times a day. The size, measured by the space between thumb and index finger and with arm fully extended was about a quarter of an inch or less.

My husband and I were in the car and saw a blindingly bright round or possibly oval shaped orb hovering in the sky. It was hard to tell what shape it was because it was so bright. I thought it might be a drone or a helicopter with bright lights but it was daylight and I don't see how either of those could make that kind of light. We kept our eyes on it the whole time and it just disappeared.

HENDERSON, NV
I was driving abd noticed a ln object in the sky around 10 tm ATL above me flying northwest . It was NOT a plane; helicopter or blimp. I have flown a single engine plane it was a silver cylinder object about the size of a small plane that looked as of it had " solar panels " almost like a satellite quietly moving on a single direction as if floating. It stopped in one position & then kept going. It disappeared from my horizon then when I stopped at the supermarket at Henderson at the cross street of Bicentennial & Amthem Parkey it reappeared again . It was a translucent color of silver with white looking solar looking psneks on one end but it was cylinder in shape. I seem to reappear then disappear again. Below os an image I captured. Consistent with Chinese spy balloon.

Phoenix, AZ
On Saturday, Feb. 11th at 11:50am, my plane was coming down over Phoenix, AZ from Las Vegas. As I was taking pictures out of the window of the plane, something oddly bright white in the distance caught my attention. I immediately zoomed in to see if this was a really white cloud or an airplane or something that I understood. I was only able to zoom in to a specific distance or the object completely blurred from view. I could see that it had edges. It appeared to have something that could be string-like pulling behind it. There are two pictures where there is something behind this object in a shadow. However, in one picture, the shadowy figure is to the bottom left of the white object. In the other picture, the shadowy figure is located at the bottom right of the white object. My photo shows our location as 33.441, -112.083

Two fighter jets fly over my house everyday just before noon. They are very loud and when I hear them coming I often step outside to watch them fly by. On Saturday I saw the first one fly by shortly followed by the second. But the second one appeared to be towing an oddly shaped object. But then I thought fighter jets don’t tow things. The object appeared to be to be following closely but not in a true straight line. Not jerky but like someone steering a speed boat towing a skier. The object was grey-ish sort of rectangular wider than high but with many facets. Then I heard a third fighter jet approaching. I turned to look at it and when I looked back the other two were out of sight. I figured the third pilot must have known what was going on. I didn’t think much about it until all the other sightings started to be reported.

I saw about 5 very faint star -like color and objects flying incredibly fast in the north direction. They were initially traveling in a wedge/V formation but soon scattered positions amongst each other before fading out into the distance. I'm not sure if this information is relevant but about 20 to 30 minutes later I saw what looks like a green fire ball head towards the Atlantic Ocean. It was very bright and very low in the sky.

It started in early December. Stuart, Iowa at 4am. I noticed 3 lights that looked like stars. They would move slowly one direction to another, dimming and brightening in sequence, going different directions, usually horizontal, but sometimes doing strange S maneuvers. Sometimes it's one, or two, up to three. I drive trucks for work on the same route, so I saw them every morning. After January 1, my route changed. I saw these things in the exact same spot, 200 miles west in York, Nebraska. Then at my home in Lincoln, Nebraska. I checked flight radar and satellite trackers to find nothing. Given the distance and angle, they have to be out of our atmosphere. But what would maneuver like this?? I found a video matelast month, where two jetliners reported exactly the same thing to ATC. The objects were high above the planes, which adds to my conclusion. The video even played the ATC controller questioning someone above her that also showed nothing on radar. As of this morning, it's been at least two months of this. I took some night mode shots with my phone, but they're only 3-5 second shutter. I brought out my big camera and set to a 10 second shutter and managed to capture two of them in one shot. It's driving me legitimately crazy seeing them every single night with no explanation. My coworkers have also witnessed them.

My boyfriend and I saw 3 tear-shaped lights... we had stayed up late watching movies. As we went to smoke a cigarette, he looked at the sky horrified and ran up the street, I followed him trying to catch up to ask what was wrong, there was a massive orb very opaque, and as soon as I saw it too it vanished. we started to question if we should've seen this or not and got paranoid. he looked up again the same time I did to our fantasy and horror there were 2 tear-like lights, one looked as if it was above the other but at a great distance. we saw them zip through the clouds but never saw them come out.

This is looking North East from my location. I have studies all the Starlink images I could find and haven't seen anything like this. Last night my webcam captured 24 images. An image is taken every 30 seconds and exposure time is 26 seconds. My cams run 24/7. My site is SkunkBayWeather.com

Took the dogs out for last call & the moon was gorgeous so started looking around. At first I thought it was a plane but it did not change location much from my original observation until the final one. I watch other planes with their red & white lights but this included green too. The majority of the time is had lights but on a couple of occasions it was not visible, I did not see a cloud but it could have been. At one point, what I thought was a plane, headed straight towards it but appeared to go past it - I could not see how - above, below, thru? I have been checking to see if Starlink has something like that hanging around but have not found anything yet. It was too far away to get a photo, sigh.

There was a triangle object that appeared over the canyon wall and was visible for a couple of minutes. There were bright white lights on each of the corners. The object was at a low altitude and did not make any noise. It then took off straight up and was gone within seconds.

Williamson, WV
I was in my shed working on a metal box and went back in for dinner. I was walking back in and in the sky I saw a disk like shape that looked only silver and it just floated in mid air. The spacecraft was low towards the ground not too far up from the trees and field. I had hunting binoculars so I could get a good look at it. I have never been a believer of the extraterrestrial or the paranormal so I just figured it was just some sort of airplane but, I stared at it deeper and realized it wasn’t. Part of the shape towards to top was more visible and I could make out the shape of a figure that didn’t look human like. I open the door inside the house to tell my wife and tell my cousin to come out to get a look at it. After 1-2 minutes after they come out it starts to slowly move and it looked like it was slowly going around in small circles. Then the tip or the ship turns unnaturally nothing like I’ve ever seen before and starts going towards the ground. It starts to pick up speed and an indescribable color of light flashes right before it crashes. It was a bright light. My hounds started barking and trying to run over so I had to get them inside and figure out who to call and what to do. I went online to figure out what to do because I didn’t want people thinking I’m crazy so I found the number for the UFO hotline. The space-craft landed behind my barn and somewhere deep into the cornfield across the river.

My Pleasant, UT
Driving home from work headed west towards State Street in Mount Pleasant I saw hanging over the mountains to the west in large vertical cigar/saucer in the sunset. I proceeded to take a video and the video is posted online. Towards the end of the video another flat sauce… eight times the size of the first… travels across the sky from right to left… Stops and maintains position. At this point, the original cigar/saucer gets smaller. I ended recording but it remained until the sun set. https://youtu.be/dKPxxQJLPys

I was out back having a cigarette. I was looking directly East into the clear blue sky when I noticed the sun reflecting off something flying in the sky. I've had sightings out here before but not in daylight so I immediately pulled my phone out to film it and zoom in to get a better view. We have a small airport in our city so I wanted to make sure it wasn't a plane or helicopter. I zoomed in and could not make heads or tails of what the object was or even the shape and it wasn't making any noise. Behind the object, higher up in altitude, you can see a commercial plane and the two look nothing alike. The object travelled from South Southeast heading North Northwest and after a few minutes vanished from sight. The whole sighting was maybe 2-3 minutes total with 1 minute of it filmed on my phone.
