Ocala, FL
Myself and my wife were taking a nighttime stroll. She directs my attention to an unusual formation or constellation of stars. I looked up in the direction which was north on my compass. There were about 9 stars very far away appearing to be like distant stars but they were in a perfect line. Then we realized they were moving. Almost too fast to be normal. A plane doesn’t travel across sky that far at that speed. They also were moving out of site they were flying over head and the sky was perfectly clear so it’s unexplainable how they were flying out of view unless they were flying further in trajectory. Nighttime flights can’t be in a straight line which also makes me wonder if this was one object that was Massive.

Kailua, HI
On a beach stroll at night with my significant other. Her and I noticed a star like circular dot way up high, no different than any other lit star or planet in the night sky. However, the the dot of light began to move at a rapid pace. It had the ability to go the full distance of the sky in mere seconds. This was no shooting star for it did not quickly vanish nor was it a low altitude airplane like craft. We could barely make out the shape before it cut short immediately, lowered slowly at a 90 degree rate and disappeared behind some clouds. I went back out each night hoping to see something similar. And on 5/12 I saw a "star" making similar movements but this time it was much closer to the ground. It was changing direction and getting closer almost as if it noticed me. My neck began to hurt from stargazing so I had to give up and go back inside. But as I kept looking back over my shoulder on my way back, the light became brighter and it felt as i! f it almost was following me home.

Nice, CA
A silent disk went over me, my fiance and my son's head and out over the water of Clear Lake. It was mostly a sphere but a narrow band was around it. It was brightly metallic but had dark shadows on it. There was only one. It went over our heads and across the water, disappearing into the distance. It was moving fast, but I got a good look at it. It was fast, made no sound and it moved with kind of this weird wobble, kind of gently tilting. As it was directly over the water, there was a puff of white cloud or smoke around it which dissipated quickly then it moved very fast and I couldn't see it any more because it was moving into the distance. Even though I saw the saucer clearly over me, it moved fast. when I saw it moving into the distance, eventually it appeared as a single white dot. It seemed to bother the ducks. I am an artist. I can draw this.

Newburgh, NY
Flat all black almost like felt material coming toward road I was on. I thought it was a medical helicopter landing for a car accident, then it turned and kinda looked like a hang glider but it was so black i could not make out a good shape. I opened my window to listen for sound and there was none. I pulled car over and began to take video. It moved in many direction and then went straight up until i could not see it. It was the size of a small helicopter, kinda of liked like a giant black batman, but more of a craft. Daylight busy road. Hovered over the Hudson River for about 5 mins.

bellefonte, PA
I saw the Starlink satellites when I was on my back porch. After they passed, I noticed a bright orb in the sky; it was moving in different directions. I tried to take a video of it but couldn't catch it. I was able to snap a picture of it. Then I saw a very bright red light in the sky; it seemed to be flying at a low altitude. I immediately took this picture. I've been trying to debunk this for a couple of years. Maybe I'm just crazy, I don't know, but here you go.

Santa Rosa, CA
My sister her husband and I were viewing the stars last night. At first we thought we were seeing the starlink satellites but they were very far up in the atmosphere. They were sometimes in parallel rows and not in a straight line. They would appear at a certain point and disappear around another point. This went on for over 15 minutes. The sky suddenly became hazy in their flight path. We stayed out quite late but the sky didnt clear back up. Its very concerning because there were so many of them for so long. Where were they going?

Shrewsbury, PA
As I was walking the dog, I looked up to follow the path of an airliner flying west. As the airplane crossed the sky, out of the corner of my eye I noticed starlike dots, flying rather close to each other and in a northwest direction. I could see 4 lights trailing each other. As the lead dot disappeared a new dot appeared at the end of the formation and this continued for about 4 minutes. There were no flashing lights, only starlike dots moving in order, over and over again until they finally stopped. I called my wife outside and she also saw what I saw. Then, nothing.

Camp Hill, PA
I came home and parked my car. As I circled behind my car I looked at the stars to the north. I noticed what looked like 3 stars in a row but they were moving slowly to the east. A fourth dot appeared behind them and traveled in the same path. As the first dot started fading a fifth appeared. There were 4-6 visible at any given time. I called my wife out to make sure I wasn't just seeing things and she confirmed that it looked very abnormal and they were moving in a line then would fade out after traveling for 10-15 seconds. We tried to take pictures or videos but our phones could not pick them up. After about two minutes the lead dots started fading and no more appeared. I watched the sky for a few more minutes and they didn't return.

Ashburn, VA
Saw 6-8 lights the were equal in brightness to the stars. The lights were steady and did not blink like the normal air traffic in the area. They were observed south west of Ashburn VA. They were equidistant from each other and appeared to move in a circular pattern from west to the south. As they continued south they were no longer visible. They moved at a moderate speed similar to that of an airplane keeping equal space from each other the whole time

Mount Airy, NC
At 9:35 pm While setting outside I happen to look up in north west Direction and noticed a string of lights flying toward the south west in a perfect line and evenly spaced and flying quietly I was able to have my family come out and we all where able to watch the event unfold, We stood in our drive way for at least 5 mins and watch the event there had to be at least 100 of the lights flying in this line the last one disappeared from view at 9:41 exactly. I would have to belive other people had to see this! there where other aircraft in the sky at this time these things where not normal.

Aldie, VA
It was a clear sky and I looked out the window with my night vision to see stars and satellites more clearly. Through the scope I noticed multiple lights moving in formation. I look with my eyes and there are what seem to be 50-100 lights flying in a single file formation headed east. I was completely shocked. It almost looked like auto tracer rounds fired in the sky but the lights kept going and these lights were moving along a horizontal plane. I was able to take a picture where you can see the lights moving. I tried filming through my night vision scope but only got about a seconds’ worth of seeing the objects. I was clearly fumbling because of my disbelief. There were no sounds, no blinking lights, and no trails. They were moving very quickly up until I lost site of them because of a tree line blocking my view.

Lewisburg, WV
Noted a long string of lights roughly in line coming from the west and nearly over my house heading roughly south. Number of objects were more than 50. NO aircraft noises were heard. Too many for a squadron.

I saw a row of 5 white lights moving from southwest to northeast and slowly 1 by 1 faded away at the same point in the sky.

Washington, PA
Last night 5/8/21, driving home around 9:00 PM, a couple of minutes from my house, I saw three red lights in the sky. They were a strange color of red, almost like a roadside flare color. I followed out on to a dark country road. Two of the lights disappeared. Then the last one disappeared. Then it reappeared, then another, then all three From my perspective, they were not in a line nor triangle and were at different altitudes. I estimate below 3 thousand feet, the height normally helicopters are seen at. The objects did not have any navigation lights and there was no sound. I tried to catch a movie. I thought I was taking a movie and even zoomed in enough to see a hexagonal structure in the center. It turns out I wasn’t recording. Too much inexperience and adrenaline. Anyway, I got home and sat in the driveway looking for them. While watching after about 3-4 minutes, I see the starlink line transiting, moving towards the east. I live just north! of Washington PA. What I saw was not Starlink, but that is an odd coincidence. Also, I worked for the USAF for 25 years and have seen many objects flying, but never one I couldn’t ID. This morning, searching around the internet, I found a picture that most closely resembled what I saw. I do so hope you have a report that discusses the same sighting.

Santa Fe, NM
I was at frenchy's field park here in town. About 9 in the evening. I was hanging upside down from the pull up bar, doing my regular calisthenic exercises when I noticed the long single file caravan of non flashing white light spheres, traveling in a straight line heading North East. I lost count at about 30. There could have been a hundred in all. The line of these light spheres seemed to go from horizon to horizon almost. They were not low in the sky. Unknown distance but pretty high up. They were all single file, one in front of the other except for a single pair which were flying nearly side by side. Their speeds were not perfectly constant in relation to each other as they seemed to speed up/slow down. That's all i've got. I tried to film it but this video quality on my new phone is terrible and didn't pick any of it up. Surely there were other witnesses here in Santa Fe, I just hope they know to report it on this website.

Concho, AZ
At approx 20:05 on May 8 2021 in Concho, AZ, I was approaching my house after an evening walk, when I witnessed several white lights in the western sky moving northwardly. These lights appeared at a point or origin approximately 30 degrees above the horizon from my location. The lights made no sound, and moved at the same rate equidistant from each other. Approx 4 to five lights would appear, on after the other, all moving north in a straight line in succession before the first light or lead light would fade out abruptly, then another would appear at the point of origin. They appeared to move at an upward angle - not falling like a meteorite or aircraft flare. I witnessed no aircraft and the brightness was about equivalent to the evening stars in the sky. I went inside and grabbed my phone and told my wife to come outside. The lights were still appearing as we came outside the house and I pointed them out to my wife who confirmed what I saw. The lights conti! nued to appear for another 4 minutes before fading away altogether. During this sighting, the point of origin did not appear to move. I was able to capture about 2:55 min worth of video before the lights faded. I was a witness to the Phoenix Lights many years ago and I remember how they seemed to hover in the air. These lights moved rapidly.

Ufo Texas, may 8, 2021 On May 8, 2021 at 3:27pm central time, I was a passenger in the back, passenger seat of a 4 door mini suv type vehicle with 2 other adult passengers (1 being the driver) and 1 child under 12. We were driving from Clear Lake Texas to the airport (I believe the Dallas Airport and can verify with adult passengers if needed). Admiring the vast blueTexas sky scattered with large fluffy, bright white clouds, looking out the passenger side window, I noticed a very small, singular, pitch black object, high in the sky. I watched for several seconds struggling to see what looked like an object flying/floating at a steady pace and altitude before remembering the capabilities of my Galaxy S21 Ultra smartphone camera. I pulled it out and turned it on immediately, after quietly and hesitantly asked aloud, "is anyone else seeing what I'm seeing or am I trippin?" I felt a little embarrassed to ask, thinking that maybe I was being foolish and just not calling to mind some very mundane thing I should have been able to readily identify. Because I was a passenger in a moving vehicle, unable to keep an eye on both the object and anything that would potentially block shots of the object in my video, AND the fact I had to zoom in at maximum capability, there are portions of the video where bridges and/or signs obstruct the view of the object. When zoomed out fully one can see how truly high in the sky the object was. On shots that are fully zoomed in the object can clearly be seen changing shape. At one point it even takes on a shape closely resebling the Eye of Horus, at another, a flying man. It almost looks like an incredibly large rope, of some sort, that keeps looping and twisting to take on some other form, but it feels like that would have to be an unbelievably thick rope to be witnessed from such distance, and it is unbelievable that any such thing could be light enough, in weight,, to be so high in the sky, let alone, to be keeping steady pace and altitude. I cannot "drag" the video to the upload box on this page as I am on my smartphone and have no computer. I will include a link to the YouTube posting of this event but can provide the actual media file in another way if necessary. https://youtu.be/t-oqKQrAkN4

Austin, TX
I was originally taking a video of a bird and then rewatched the video and noticed a oval shaped orb in the sky. The object was first seen in the beginning of the video in front of my car and then I saw it again on the left side of my car. I zoomed in on the object and it had a very defined oval shape. It was very bright with a yellow glow and a small tint of green. It also had a outer glow outside the oval shape almost like a aura or haze. This was strange because because about a month ago I saw something similar except it was a night time and about a month prior I had a dream about an alien invasion... just odd.
