Bolingbrook, IL
My husband and I were sitting outside when I noticed lights, that looked like stars, moving in a straight line formation spaced out evenly like in a parade line. Was about 50 of them.

Chicago, IL
Spotted with two others from my balcony in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago. We live under an O’Hare flight path so planes are a common sight, but this was completely different. At about 10:15 pm CDT on May 22, 2021, we observed a single-file line of equally-spaced tiny, white, unblinking lights traveling NE. They looked like tiny individual pixels in the sky – no discernable shape other than individual dots/squares. There were probably 50 of them or so and the entire sighting lasted about 10 minutes. Another onlooker described them as moving stars. Seems plausible that it was a line of aircraft flying exceptionally high and in formation. We checked flightradar24 as it was happening but didn’t see anything besides low-flying aircraft flying west on their O’Hare approach (which were also visible).

Morris, IL
We have an app to see the ISS and we just started looking up at the sky watching the ISS, and one person noticed a line of lights traveling at a very high altitude all in a straight line and spaced evenly apart from each other. They were traveling northeastward. Tried to make a video but they were to high and clarity was horrible from a cell phone.

Me and my wife were leaving for a late night dinner, as we pulled out of the driveway (I am the passenger) I glance over my house and see a really bright light that looks like it’s being trailed by several other lights… I immediately asked my wife to put the car in reverse at this point because I could no longer see it. She reversed and stopped back in front of our house and there it was. Right behind our house. There are a lot of trees in our neighborhood, so you couldn’t see the whole thing just the center of it (edges are hidden by trees) at the time I thought it was a trail, however it was a round object. It was going in a rotation, it had lights on it and they seemed to get brighter as right in the same location every time it made a full rotation. This is near an Air Force base, but at 10:08 at night you wouldn’t think they would be testing things out that late at night without a warning to people who live within a mile range. Me, my wife and my neighbor witnessed the event.

Palm Springs, CA
There were several white light orbs flying in a tight and almost perfect formation across the night sky at low altitude. There was a pattern in which each orb would flash its light in my direction, one at a time. They were flying in a direction and would disappear as more would keep appearing. This went on for close to 20 minutes. There were airplanes close by, sharing the airspace and there is an airport close by.

Waukesha, WI
Between 10 - 10:30 pm I observed 30+ objects flying across the sky in single file formation. They were uniformly spaced. They were too high to photograph & just looked like white lights. They were flying Northeast. I called my son's girlfriend out and she observed the last maybe 10 or so of them as they flew out of range.

Rancho Mirage, CA
Last Saturday night, May 22, 2021, in Rancho Mirage, California (Palm Springs Desert Area) at 9:44 PM, I was in my backyard, facing 316 degrees North West, standing in the middle of the lawn with my friend. (Please note ~ that my backyard is open with unobstructed views of the sky and it was dark) Then out of nowhere, about thirty miles away, a U shaped group of six white dots were leading a line of three white dots that were spaced exactly apart. Then new white dots kept appearing at the end of the line, one behind the other, from the exact same spot, adding to the line. This white dot line grew to about twenty white dots, some would flare and continued moving North and then disappearing around 344 degrees North. It was almost as if these white dots were being born, like a large dog litter one after another and then getting in line to follow their mother. This sighting took about two minutes total. My friend captured over one minute on his cell phone if ! you'd like to see it.

Merced, CA
We noticed a string of lights moving across the sky above our house, from West to East at pretty high altitude. We counted 30, but there may have been more. They moved at a consistent rate of speed, and they were spaced out fairly evenly, although the spaces between them varied somewhat. There was no aircraft noise of any kind. We tried to record video on a phone, but the individual lights were not bright enough to show up. We watched until the lines of lights ended. It was very eerie.

All 6 of us witnessed short streaks of flashing light after one of us was watching the sky and said what is that. At this point, all of us witnessed 5-6 of these short streaks of light. All of us agreed that it appeared as if something(s) briefly appeared on our plane of existence or was entering/leaving "light speed". The 5-6 flashes all appeared in the exact same spot.

itting in my back yard i was alerted by my wife who first saw the lights. i and another witness moved to the front yard and i took out my phone and started to record. we then noticed a second set of lights following the first. they did not look like any aircraft i had ever seen before. they were glowing maybe slightly pulsating lights. i thought maybe i heard a jet type engine but if i did it was very faint.

Scottsdale, AZ
Exact time unsure, around noon or midnight. A few friends and I saw a large, much bigger than any plan would be from that distance. About 4-5 people saw it. A clear outline was not noticeable. But there was a number of small lights, moving in a circular motion. All lights where evenly spaced, and would disapear then reappear on the opposite side, of where the lights disappear. It gave it the look of it moving circular. We went back inside after 10 to 15 minutes after sighting it. We went back out to about 30 minutes to a hour later and the UFO was gone. Location was in Scottsdale Arizona. In the area of Thompson Peak, exact zip, unknown.

Half circle, maybe chevron, flew overhead at a very high rate of speed. I thought it was a meteor. The two other meteors I have enter the atmosphere so close crackled. This object was made no sound. I dismissed it as a meteor until I saw what I saw the next night, 5/22/2021. The object had a bluish white hugh and a very pink center. The object moved as fast as a meteor.

At about 10:20 PM on May 21, 2021, I stepped out on the porch on the west side of my home. A light in the sky, just above the tree line and due west, caught my eye. A few minutes previously a small plane had passed by, also due west, moving from the NW in a southerly direction, with the usual running lights and strobe. This, however, was a bigger “blob” of light, very orange, basically spherical but not perfectly so, randomly changing in intensity. It drifted from NW to SW, continuing to “pulse” arhythmically. There was no sound at any time. After maybe 10-15 seconds three more lights, very similar, all orange, drifted in from behind the treeline. They all traveled around lazily, with random changes in velocity and slight changes in direction. All orange and very bright, sometimes dimming slightly or appearing to go translucent. They didn’t settle into any particular configuration, and never too close to each other. All remained just a few finger widths abov! e the treeline, then all four began to drift north. At this point I dashed into the house to get my husband out of bed. He hustled out with me but the lights had gone. After a few seconds a single one drifted up from the treeline WSW of us, then headed NW, again very slowly and with a sort of jerky, random velocity change movement. It faded out as it passed to the north. The whole sighting lasted maybe four minutes. I have phone video but it’s not very helpful. I’m attaching an image I made in Photoshop which more accurately depicts what I saw. These were not satellites. There were wispy clouds and these objects moved in front of the clouds.
