Bishop, CA
Around 9:30 p.m. in Bishop California a fleet of at least 20 in a straight line, evenly spaced formation moving slowly across the sky from west to east. Color white / silver ... looked like a sattelite but much closer. I have seen quite a few interesting mysterious sky phenomena on the eastern side of the Sierra (Mammoth Lakes last summer) and in Bishop a similar formation Winter of 2020 (Decemeber i think - did not report - but this formation had at least 10 more) I'm open, non-fanatical, grounded. This formation tonight was awesome. Woke my friend to witness it with me.

I have night vision, watching the sky. But these were also visible by the naked eye. There were four of us who saw them. Even without the night vision. Other aircraft we saw had blinking lights. These were solid lights. Traveling in a line. No blinking as aircraft do. Traveling eastward. Nearly uniform in spacing. Seemed to appear and travel Eastward.

Albuquerque, NM
I thought I was looking at Cassiopeia with its 'W' shape, then I released that it was a series of lights moving silently across the sky in a straight line, but in a zig zag formation. There was a much brighter light, then two, that appeared to be flying up and down alongside the formation, almost as if they were escorting them. After a couple of minutes they suddenly disappeared, then about five minutes or so later, they suddenly re-appeared back in the spot where I initially saw them, taking the same path I'd watched them take a few minutes earlier. Same bright light, then two, and then they all disappeared exactly the same as the first time. It was as if somebody was replaying it again.

Salt Lake city, UT
The first sighting approximately 09:42pm started as my son and myself looked up and saw a slow moving what looked like a fleet of solid bright lights movong from north west to south east that lasted for four minutes and completely stopped. Looked to be not that far apart from each other. The second event that was a matter of minutes after, 09:58pm after was witnessed by my Father,mother, my two sons ages 14 and 18 and my Boyfriend, along with myself moving from west to east. Looked to be coming from a point we couldn't see, moving more quickly than the first and multiplied in a very straight row. What seemed to be atleast 80+ then dissapeared. The third event happen on the complete opposite side of the sky South west direction from us approximately 10:18pm the same night, looked to be very fast moving light that headed straight up into the sky, very clustered together and started separating as they seemed to dissappear. Bright balls of lights like the other! anomalies and very circular in shape. Clustered together. The difference to this one was as I said seemed to be moving directly up into the sky. 3 events, completely opposite sides of the sky, and very different formations.

Williams, AZ
Sighting details: At approximately 2130hrs on May 5th, 2021, I was taking a walk through a very dimly lit RV park one mile East of Williams Arizona. I happened to look upwards and was immediately startled to notice a nearly perfect straight line of bright white lights stretched horizontally across the sky. As I stopped to look intently upon them I noticed they were slightly brighter white than the stars that were clearly visible in the dark night sky. These lights emitted a constant stream of light and did not have the “twinkling” effect that stars frequently have. The string of lights seemed to be equally spaced from one another, horizontally, but were slightly higher/lower from one another vertically. The lights appeared to all be attached to the same craft, as I could just barely make out a very faint appearance of a gray object against the black sky background. The moment I first saw the light formation it appeared to be stationary, but within a few seco! nds all the lights began to slowly move to my right, in unison with each other. They continued at the same very slow speed until out of sight. I’m not exactly certain of my directional bearings at the time, but I am fairly certain it was moving from the Southwest towards the Northeast in direction. The string of lights was very long. I looked up at about 30 degrees to my left, and it spanned to about 30 degrees to my right. That was my full field of view, due to some tall Ponderosa Pine trees blocking my view of either end of it. I could clearly see approximately 15 lights in a straight line on the object, but there appeared to be more that were being blocked by the trees. It was a very quiet night outside that evening and there was no audible noise coming from this craft. My background: I am 61 years old. I am retired from the US Air Force. I worked on fighter jets as a maintenance technician. I have a BS degree in Psychology from Grand Canyon University, an Associates Degree in Aerospace Technology, and completed half of the credits needed towards a Masters Degree in Family Counseling from Phoenix Seminary.

Reno, NV
Witnesses 40-50 lights in a general line headed north to east. Time was about 9:25pm. Close proximity to each other. My location is West Reno at the time of the sighting. Never seen aircraft in that large of a number before. I tried to get video recording but was talking on the phone so the video option was not available. By the time I called my wife to come outside and help me figure out why I was unable to record a video it was gone. Figured I share what I saw in case of others saw it also.

I saw these lights and Bliss Idaho.They were all in a straight line.Possibly a little higher than a small plane would fly.Moving slowly from west to east,And then after they went over my head they dissipated and disappeared.

I saw a line of approximately 60 aircraft flying south to north in a very straight line. It was very similar to watching a freight train from a distance.

Went out into my yard and looked up and noticed that there was a string of what looked like stars moving in single file slowly about the speed you might see and satellite move. They were only visible for about 30 to 40 seconds. The ones leading the procession one by one disappeared until all 10 were gone. No sound was evident.

On 5/5/2021 my wife and I witnessed flying objects in the sky. They were white and circular flying in a linear pattern flying at high speeds. 30 or so of them became in view of the naked eye one by one and were all gone in a matter of 5 minutes. They had to be flying at high speeds to disappear so quickly. My wife and I have never seen anything like it. I typically see satellites orbiting the earth, but nothing compares to what we witnessed last night. I have a background in finance, while my wife is a registered nurse.

My wife and I were in the hot tub when I observed 8 circular lights heading northeast over the Pine Nut Mountain Range in northwestern Nevada. They were in a straight line, evenly spaced, with no flashing lights like a normal aircraft displays. We observed them for about two minutes, then they just disappeared.

Sylmar, CA
UFOs sighted May 5, 2021 around 9pm. Lights in a single line flying similar distance from one another. It had been seen by my husband first. I went outside about 1 to 2 minutes after his sighting. I saw the last 10 lights flying south west. My husband said there were about 100 lights flying in the form I saw of the last 10.

Madera, CA
A perfectly straight string of lights was moving fast across the sky North West Bound The lights looked just like other stars in the sky in terms of size, color and brightness. The sky was completely clear tonight with lots of visible stars. There was no sound.

On Wednesday, May 5th at 20:57-59, I looked southward out my bathroom window as sirens had just gone by and I could see a sheriff's helicopter in the far distance south of me, then out of the corner of my right eye, following the large electrical lines going North, were what looked like 10 to 12 Canadian geese flying in sequence one after another with lights on each object, silently flying medium speed but close to the ground or at least on the horizon, just above the high power electrical lines. I ran outside with both my glasses and binocs but didn't need them because there they were, 10-12 similar objects, flying one in front of the other going north, no sound, but lights under each one. They were just flying in sequence, going north towards Fallon, following the same trajectory that jets from Lemoore to Fallon follow. They were soundless, there were other aircraft in the sky close enough to see this spectacle but I see no mention of it on the internet. H! owever, it is similar to one sighting in the April sightings near the east coast of the USA but the difference is they were all staying the same altitude and in formation like Canadian geese with lights under their bodies. Please someone tell me they were drones? Not likely. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

These objects were flying quietly in a very long straight line.When I first looked in the sky I thought it was a bunch of stars until I noticed that they were moving in a perfect straight line going in a northeastern direction.I watched for about ten minutes.

Henet, CA
At about 8:50 pm, I looked slightly to the west, almost directly overhead and saw a long string of little round lights in a perfect line moving north/northeast. They were going at least three times the speed of typical airplanes we see flying over us. The flight path of passenger jets is always from west to east I counted 30 of them, all in a perfectly straight line about 2 degrees apart from each other. That means that the total angle from the first one to the last one was about 60 degrees of angle flying across the sky. There might have been more, but when I spotted them, the first one was getting low on the horizon and was fairly dim.

Cumberland, RI
3 lights observed traveling north to south. The lights were yellow orange, like a flame from a fire. They appeared to be round with a haze around them so I couldn’t determine a shape. There was no sound and they seemed to be traveling at a steady rate of speed. They were following each other but were not close together. The night was overcast so they appeared to disappear once they got far enough away. The lights did not blink, they were steady, like a burning flame. As the 3rd light passed over, we lost internet connection for a brief period of time. We believe that UFO’s probably exist, but until now, we’ve never seen anything to cement that belief.

sitting in my backyard watching the stars, suddenly out of the southwest at about 8ooo ft 9 yellow glowing orbs floated over heading northwest. they had no definitive formation they appeared to go very slowly and disappeared out of site, making no noise,no strobe or blinking lights. the interesting thing was this was just 5 minutes before the space x satellites began to appear.

Not to sure I should be doing this. People gonna think I’m crazy but I have to tell someone. I was out fishing in my kayak and I seen something that caught my eyes. It was above me for a few seconds then it went towards the north. Almost as fast as a blink. What I saw was something strange. It looked like a galvanized tin garbage can. It appeared to only be the size of a small car but it was fast as hell when it shot straight up out of view. Almost like it knew I was watching. Unfortunately there was no lights, sounds, or any little green men but it kinda freaked me out. This isn’t spam, or a joke. The metal on the aircraft was bright like stainless steel. I know it sounds silly saying I witnessed a flying garbage can,,, but I did.

Park City, UT
We witnessed a straight line of approximately 25 white lights, (no flashing), traveling at a uniform speed and perfectly spaced. They appeared to be at a very high altitude. They were traveling from west to east and appeared to be illuminated by the sun, like a line of fast satellites crossing the sky. They vanished one by one as they reached the west side of the sky. No noise.
