Near Montrose and 90 we saw a curved having Trail in the sky and following inside the chemtrail was a silent craft barely able to see it. Moving north to south

These lights woke me up from my nap because they were close to my window. They weren't as bright as the light from the airplane passing through. All three moved in different trajectory, but with the same speed, circling over and over and moving further away.

Thought it was a drone just floating around.then no movement at all and appeared to be a star argued with my girlfriend about it. I grabbed myrifle was going to prove wasn't a star. Leveled out and focused. And not sure how to describe. It looked.like a bowl. Round bottom with strobing multiple be color. And sounds completely insane but through the scope of my rifle formed around the round visible part looked exactly like tenticals octopus or squid tenticals in appearance. Sound crazy right?

Triangle light in the sky with a beam of light coming down from the middle. Driving from New Milford, IL on 11th Street towards Rockford, IL. The flash lit up the dark cloudy sky and everyone with me freaked out from what we had witnessed. All of us decided to draw what we had seen, and all of the photos were the same triangle with a beam of light coming down. I posted on Facebook asking if anyone seen the light and multiple people responded yes. The light/triangle was at least 1-2 miles wide and the beam was maybe half a mile wide. The light was very bright. I've never seen anything like this in my entire life. All of us were spooked.

On Wednesday October 16 between 7:25 and 7:35 PM I saw I very large triangle with a light on each corner fly from north to south in a straight line, pointy end first. It took about 2 seconds to fly across the sky and out of view. I would guess at least the size of a football field though it’s hard to say what altitude it was at. About 2 full moons across, or if holding a ruler at arms length about 3-4 inches on the ruler. The lights on the corners were very large, facing down, and very dim, yellowish, not as bright as the stars or planes over head. No flashing lights or lights in the middle, just the 3. Completely silent. I was standing in Logan Square (Chicago) facing west. If it wasn’t going so fast I would have tried to take a picture or video but then again it was so dim so it might not have been captured. This was just after sunset and there was lots of ambient light. I would say it was definitely faster than the jets during the air and water show. Any! one facing west and looking up would have seen it, it may have been dim, but it was brazen, unmistakable and unmissable for the two seconds it took to fly from one end of the sky to the other. There were aircraft in the vicinity but none chasing the object, which I imagine to be impossible. I would also like to include that it was flying virtually parallel to the streets that run north-south, so not traveling southwest or southeast etc.

Was looking for the low clouds to move so I could take a picture of the full moon at 11:25pm CST. I saw a large,low-flying disc flying North near the bottom of the clouds. There was no sound, and I didn't see any lights. I was a shiny silver color. I was able to get a few pictures, and they appeared like a shadow of what I saw through the viewfinder.

I work as a night shift security guard. As I was opening the gates to the parking lots I noticed a bright light in the east. In that general direction there is a hospital with a helicopter pad and I could hear helicopter noise so I assumed it was that. The light seemed very bright so I continued to watch it for a minute or two. At that point the helicopter at the hospital took off and broke the tree line. So I know it was not a helicopter at that point. After the noise drowned off the light continued to just sit in its position and I began walking towards the guard shack to get my phone. As I started to move I could see the one light starting to break in 4 lights. It wasn’t until it was extremely close that I realized it was a shape of a black triangle. With one light at the point, one light in the back middle, and one light left and right from the back middle light in each direction. It was roughly 2000’ off the ground (I used an altitude comparison sheet I! found online because it was very low to make absolutely 0 noise.). It was also going rough 100 mph, I state that liberally because I feel if you could drive a car in a straight line next to it you could easily keep up at 60-70 mph. It had no blinking marker lights to indicate wings or a tail. It did had a singular strobing light underneath that was only visible when it was directly over head. In 2000 there was a black triangle sighting in this town that was chased by three different police departments towards saint Louis, MO before they lost sight of it. There is also an Air Force base within 30 miles from where I worked so I thought maybe it was a plane heading there which might explain the no markers, but I don’t think it would explain the lack of sound and very slow speeds.. it was coming from the east moving west, slightly north away from the Air Force base as it left my sight of view

I first saw 2 faint yellow lights chasing each other east through the sky. 10 minutes later I saw 20 similar lights flying in a perfect V formation heading south. The objects were traveling very fast and disappeared in the sky for both sightings.

While driving I witnessed four blinking lights hovering almost still in the air. Some of the smaller ones would only move at a very slow speed to the sides one of them moved higher, but the bigger one would stand still. A few of the small ones disappeared and reappeared at times. Once I got on the highway I was able see them more clearly only this time they appeared to be bigger and in a sphere shape. They were lined up with with some distance next to each other and 2 or three more higher on top. In total 7-8 of them. Airplanes were flying near by and the difference was clear. I was able to get a video of the first time I spotted them but not as I was driving in the highway. As there was a lot of traffic.

The power in house flickered on and off several times followed by a surge complete darkness then the lights went back on. The rest of the neighbors didn't get power back and the whole block was in complete darkness. Due to the power failure several neigh ors came to my house to power up there phones/tablets.total 7 of us. My son recieved a text from NASA that ISSC was pacing I mb orbit an maybe be seen around 8:30 p.m. we ran outside to check it out and were able to see it after mistaking a few planes first. After it was over we hung outside for awhile as it was a clear sky we were star gazing when we saw two light either two separate crafts or one big one as they followed perfectly in line to each other. They moved quickly across sky (not as fast as metro or comet but not as slow as a plane or jet). The front light grew extremely bright for a short time then back to it's original brightness and carried on across the sky for another 30 to 40 seconds then completely disappeared both lights. Because it was in the sky I have nothing to measure it to so not sure how far up or how big the object was accurately so I will not guess. This isn't the first odd light in the sky out here for the past three night we have seen what I have been telling my child they are just satellites reflecting the sun from space. I know it's something more but what I don't know. I am in no way stating Aliens just stating I couldn't identify what it was and its not being the norm as we often sky gaze. I tried to video tape but didn't get what I was hoping for.

Driving to work, on 80th Avenue Southbound. At approximately 162nd St., I noticed a round white/silver object in the sky, and thought, "what is that"?. It wasn't moving as an airplane would; it didn't seem to be moving at all. It just hung there. I was driving, so I alternated between watching the road and looking up at it. I did this several times. The final time I looked up, it was gone.

My friends and I were walking in a park when we saw three flying disks in a v-formation flying low across the sky. They were going very fast. A dog in the park started barking at it. We didn't see them again.

Looked up at the stars and saw a bright white light moving across the sky not very high, I am guessing 10,000 feet, I grabbed my binoculars and could not see it any better than with my naked eye. No blinking lights and no sound that I could hear. Also, when it disappeared it was like a dimming light that just went out. This was my second time seeing this, I didn’t report the first one a few weeks ago.
