Myrtle Beach, SC
It was 9 pm and my my whole family was sitting on the balcony at the resort. The sky was beautiful it was almost a full moon. I looked up and noticed two orange ( color of a fire) orb lights, I said to my husband "look! what is that?" When I told my husband to look a third orb appeared. The first two lights would have made a horizontal line if you were to draw a line connecting them. The third light was below the first two and off to the right slightly. As soon as my husband looked and saw them the third light disappeared then the other two disappeared as well. I said to the whole family that was a ufo! I can be very open minded to things like that and like to watch shows about ufos and Bigfoot sometimes when they are on. Im someone who likes to know a little bit about everything and can find a common interest with anyone. My husband is the total opposite! He thinks things like that are kind of crazy. He can come up with a logical explanation for anything. We both have college educations and make a good living. The point of saying that is to let anyone know who reads this is . . . my husband even thought it was strange and was not trying to explain it away!

Tetonia, ID
My mom and I had just arrived to my home in Tetonia after I got off an evening shift at work. We were bringing in groceries from the car and when I walked out on the porch and saw a line of lights coming from west to east. I asked my mom if she saw them and she said “YES!!” We both watched in awe for 3-5 minutes as the lights went across the whole sky. A couple hundred lights slowly moved from the horizon to horizon. Some lights shot off from the line as well. The starlink came up in the conversation afterward because that seemed to be the only explanation. Then we saw a starlink in the opposite side of the sky! It was very short and small compared to what we saw earlier. We have gone round and round about this for over a year and we are now deciding to report it. We saw a starlink tonight!! It was not what we saw before. Not at all.

Gautier, MS
The object was very aerodynamic cylinder shape that slightly curved into a cigar shape. It had blue lights all around it and the object was of a white translucent material and it had 3 windows. When I took the photos they were moving at high rates of speed but with no sonic booms. It would stop go up and down and around at 90 degree angle’s. And then it floated for about ten more seconds while moving forward and then disappeared behind the tree tops in the woods in Gautier,Ms it was pointed west and I was east of the craft. I saw the ufo in its entirety and I managed to snap some pictures of the craft. I live in an apartment building that goes outside to my patio I live on ground floor.

The crafts were circular in shape. Objects were coming from the south at airplane speed then slowed to almost slow hover. Each craft appeared 1 at a time and disappeared out of my line of site because of neighbors tree and never appeared on the other side of tree. Objects were black in color and missed taking a picture of the first one because record didn’t work on my phone. Took pictures from my back patio.

I was taking my dog for a walk and when we emerged from my apartment building I heard words in my mind saying ‘look up now!’ Without reflection I looked up to the East and at about 60degrees from me in the sky was an oval object with mist clinging to it. The surface was white with a matte quality - its far side was cast in shadow. I stared at it for a good moment trying to ascertain its size and dimensions. This was somewhat difficult as if I couldn’t properly focus on all of its details at once. It looked to be several hundred feet from the ground and was maybe 30’ in height and 20’ wide at its center. While I was examining it, somebody was coming from behind me and my dog distracted me for a second. When I looked back the object was gone. I was wearing polarized sun glasses - I don’t know if I would have seen it without them. The object blended well with the sky.

I was driving east on Burbank Blvd. just west of Van Nuys Blvd. The sky was very clear and it was 3:45 in the afternoon. I looked up in the sky and saw a white, perhaps metallic white(?) object hovering in the sky, perhaps about 10 to 15 thousand feet up. It was not moving and just floating there. Something caught my attention far to the left and I realized there was another identical object hovering as well, not moving, seemingly not being buffeted by the wind. As I drove and kept staring at the first object I noticed, while occasionally looking at the other one to see if it moved (neither of them seemed to be moving) more objects appeared behind the first one. When I say behind what I mean is that they seemed to be higher up in the atmosphere, perhaps 40 thousand feet? Again they appeared white or metallic white, perfectly round and while some of them were remaining still a couple did seem to be moving. One seemed to be going up and the other down, then left and right. Going to state right now I may be wrong on this one as I was craning my neck around and also for whatever reason having a hard time recalling exactly what happened because it felt pretty extraordinary and I am a bit dumbfounded as to why no one seemed to notice these things other me...though I suppose a case could be made that most people when driving keep their eyes on the road, which is the safer choice. I pulled over into the parking lot of a small strip mall and hopped out of my car to take some photos. Because of the glare on my phone and the fact that my phones camera isn't great I wasn't quite sure if I was getting photos of anything. I did end up snapping a few photos of both the original object and the one to its right (my left) and while I could see the other objects behind the original one none seem to have been captured on camera. The photos aren't very good. I hopped back into my car and it couldn't have been more than 30 to 45 seconds before I was back on Burbank moving east and in that 45 seconds (maximum) all of the objects seem to have vanished except the original one which was still hovering in place and had not moved the entire time. So honestly I don't think they were drones, because the altitude would mean these were the biggest drones in the world and that they were spherical, definitely not planes. Perhaps weather balloons or some sort of lantern but again the original one never moved just hovered still and I think even if by some miracle there was absolutely no wind up that high the thing would still bob around or something if it was balloon. One thing that happened that I just don't understand was as I hopped out of my car to take photos I noticed to older men in front of a cafe having coffee and talking. As I took the photos I turned to them and asked them to look and tell me what they think. They smiled, said nothing and then just went back to talking about golf. I don't understand why someone would simply be curious enough to even look. So that's it, very odd, no one else seemed to notice it and I'm stumped.

Independence, OR
My passenger and I were driving to Independence, and were in the straight stretch of road right before the base of the bridge, about a mile prior. From this distance you can see through the tree that flank the river. I commented to my passenger that there was something between the trees "glimmering", assumed out loud it was a plane then joked "it must be a ufo!" Passenger looked and kind of gasped at the same time I realized it could not be a plane at the low of level unless crashing - it was cylinder shaped and silver, almost like a small blimp shape, 'milky' or brushed silver looking metal (not like a stainless steel look) and the sun was making it 'glisten'. We could see it between the trees, and only caught sight of it for a few seconds before we started up the bridge and thicker trees blocked our view. One we cleared the trees on the bridge where we could see I slowed to a near stop and looked, and there was nothing there - we looke! d on both sides and it was too large to fit under the bridge and not stick out. We kept watching as we descended the bridge, and then as we turned onto another country road where we could see the skyline, sky and area, and saw nothing, and no planes were in the air that we might have mistaken it with - the sky was entirely void of aircraft.

Me and my brother were sitting in the hot tub in the early morning hours when he pointed out this very bright light that traveled fast with no plane navigation lights. It descended very fast and being a pilot myself it was definitely not a plane. It faded out after about a 1 or 2 minutes.

There was a saucer shape aircraft with light going in a spinning motion, then a another aircraft with bright lights moving to the right ahead of it. The saucer it self also had flashing then disappeared only to return 30 mins after initial appearance.

My wife and I were sitting outside having a campfire. We were enjoying the night sky when we noticed what appeared to be a satellite moving across the sky at around 11:23pm. It was white and the same size and as the stars. To our amazement there was another one right after the first and then another, continuing for about 18 to 20 in total. These were moving much faster than a plane in the sky and did not have any flashing lights. They were all in a straight line and equally spaced apart. We tried to capture the event with our phone to no avail. The line started in the southwest sky and passed over us to the northeast sky. When the event ended we were mystified and talked about what it could be. We continued to stay outside until 2am and saw the same line of satellite shapes pass again at 12:53 but this time they were further north from where we were. The 3rd time this happened it was even more north than the 2nd time and the event was around 1:40. We would like to know what these were as we have never seen that many satellites in the sky at one time and all moving roughly the same distance apart and in a straight line.

A series of stars, in a perfectly spaced linear alignment, crossed the sky from west to east as viewed from our neighborhood. I am not sure if these were satellites, however, I have never seen these before. My husband also saw these. They lined up perfectly, like buttons on a sideways sweater, and travelled at the same pace. Weird. There may have been about 8 to ten.

The were in a straight line and by time I got my phone out they spread apart. I have pictures of when they split with my night camera.

Two half circle, maybe chevrons, flew overhead at a very high rate of speed. While overhead, the objects had a bluish white hugh and a very pink center. Again, they were only overhead for a brief moment. They moved very fast. There was no sound. The two objects flew close together. One object was slightly in front of the other. Both objects maintained the same altitude and vector until they reached a group of objects in the distance. In the distance the objects all look liked stars. A line of stars much like the Starlink. But, they appeared to rotate around something. The group stayed in the distance for maybe 2 minutes.

My husband and I were having a fire and small lights seemed to be evenly spaced out. And they just kept coming at the same speed for 5-10 mins. I did get a short video as well. At first I thought it was a couple of planes flying too close, but it was not!

Alamo, MI
My best description is "The Phoenix lights" but a lot more. I recorded the event over "Rupert Lake" in North Western Kalamazoo County. Unfortunately as my fiance and myself saw the lights in great white light detail one after the other at least 3 others saw when you hear us trying to validate what was being seen by saying pardon us but are you seeing this. I even heard the immediate reaction of it's the aliens. I have the roughly 3 minutes video that I hope in the hands of professionals can be fixed to see clearly what we did. You are probably asking why only a few minutes of footage and the reason is we didn't have phones on us in the lake so I dashed through the lot to retrieve my phone to be honest I didn't want to miss a sec but we knew it was important that we document it. Please tell me where to send it.

Shreveport, LA
Incident: Star-like orbs NW Shreveport sky Time: May 22nd @10:35 C.S.T. Witness: DLT My location: Southeast Shreveport City: Shreveport The following is my best account of what I saw in the NW of a partially cloudy Shreveport sky as I was walking to my vehicle before leaving to Kroger grocery. At approximately 10:35 c.s.t. when walking to my vehicle in the parking lot of my apartment complex I observed what at first thought was just another bright star in the Northwestern sky of Shreveport, La. Then I looked back up to give it full attention, but the white star-like orb disappeared, i.e., dimmed out and then another round orb less bright (same shape and color) appeared behind it and appeared to follow the first brighter one and then it disappeared until 1 or 2 other star-like orbs appeared to be following the one prior to each and I could tell all the objects/orbs were circling like a vortex in a sort of holding pattern; again, each light was perfectly round and solid white, whereby, at that time of day I'm having to rule out solar reflection because of the time of day. These objects just emitted their own light. Further, the entire bunch of orbs/star-like orbs moved slowly in tandem across the Northwest night sky from west southwest to a generally east northeast direction. The orbs seemed to be "orbiting" or circling in a slightly non-tangential angle in reference to the ground; meaning if you were to lay an imaginary flat board or planar monolith, so to speak on top of the orbs then the plane resting on the orbiting objects would be tilted 5-10 degrees in reference away from the earth. Enough so, that I could see that these things were spinning in succession in a counter clockwise fashion from my point because of the tilted axis of the vortex. However, I could not see the back 60 -70% of the circle as they would move away, but i could see them reappear fairly quickly when they would return towards me on their little orbit enough so that you could deduce that they were actually spinning on some sort of controlled spin. I could not make out any solid structure where pos! sibly these lights could have been attached to because it was just too dark. I was battling light across from the Tinsel Town Theatre which glared into my smart phone as i did record these lights, but its very diminished in quality because of the phone itself and bright theatre lights. The lights were there for about 45 seconds to 1 minute of my time since I happened to catch this heading out to the store for a few things. If I had not gone back into my apartment to retrieve my grocery list, then I would have probably missed this incident and, therefore, departed before the occurrence. I have seen many things in the sky and how they move and/or behave and I have to say that this has me befuddled. I work at an airport so I have a solid foundation of what airplanes/helicopters look like and how they look in the night sky. There were no navigation lights (red or green) or tail section white lights. I have heard of Elon Musk's Starlink satellites, but these objects didn't move like a standard satellite in reference to the earth. I have personally seen the International Space Station (ISS) and you see a fairly big bright round light (because of solar reflection) break the west horizon if its a high cloud base or clear skies; but it steadily moves overhead in a straight line until you see the ISS disappear over the opposite direction. The ISS sighting is a straight path, horizon to horizon, west to east, southwest to northeast, in reference to where you are. Also, police drones would have to be ruled out because these were at least a couple thousand feet an! d even night searching choppers are closer to the ground when using their searchlights. I'm going to have to call this my first UFO sighting at age 49. I will report this to MUFON or the National UFO reporting agency to have this on record. Maybe, someone can come forward later and shed some light, no pun intended, on my experience. Maybe someone else saw this, but just didn't think more of it. My jury is still out on what this could have been. I did a screen capture of the google mapped area with a vector line drawn for direction of the approximate sighting. Also, a small private plane crashed into Cross Lake the next day which is in the general NW direction of my prior night's sighting which may have nothing to do with my sighting at all, but is a little peculiar with the timing and general location of my sky sighting and since the crash is an aviation event; just thought I would mention this for people who have lots more time than I have for further investigation. Sincerely, DLT

At 10:24pm Saturday May 22nd 2021 my brother, boyfriend and I were enjoying a campfire in our backyard. I noticed there were 4 to 5 stars next to the moon that were brighter than the others, they began to move around very fast causing my vision to feel blurred. I asked my brother and boyfriend if they saw the moving lights, they both agreed they were seeing them also. Then more bright lights came from the right side of the moon and our property line and joined the other lights, they all moved into a straight line, evenly spaced apart and began moving quickly towards our house, I began recording with my phone and counting the lights. I counted 10 moving lights, then they faded away into nothing. My recording shows lights but not like they were in person. About 20 minutes later 3 more bright lights in a different part of the sky showed up out of nowhere over our horse pasture. They moved into a line evenly spaced apart like the others and flew into a different direction and faded away. Maybe 15 to 20 minutes after that one more bright like came into the sky out of nowhere and moved towards our house again, a star was in the way and the bright moving light moved around the star then back on its straight course. The cloud cover was very thick last night but only around our property and the surround areas. The bright moving lights looked just like stars but much brighter and moved at a fast rate. After all 3 events took place we heard a large helicopter in the area.

Objects going in formation. At first we thought planes but then realized some were going too close to each other. They were in a perfect line about 15 of them. About 3 came the opposite way. We saw a shooting star shortly after so could have been a shower but found weird how perfect in a line they were.

We were getting things ready for the lake the next day when our neighbors hollered at us to come check this out. We went over there and he says "are we seeing things or do you guys see this also" we saw lights following one another in total of 9 way too close to be an airplane or any other craft due to turbulence. When one would disappear in the front of the line one would appear at the back of the line until eventually one by one they all just vanished and we couldn't see any thing else. Clear sky's no meteor shower acts like that no drones around here.....
