Modesto, CA
At 5:25 AM Pacific time. I was taking out the trash and I saw something moving across the sky at a high rate of speed and the sky was perfectly clear I saw a big dippers I saw ordinary planes going around in the sky but this one was no plane it was moving so fast it was unbelievable to see a large cluster of white stars shot across the sky from north to East going at a high rate of speed faster than a plane would ever go there was at least 15 to 20 moving across the sky. They were not physically aligned they were all in different shades moving across the sky happened so fast by the time you pointed at them they were already across the sky headed east.

Tehachapi, CA
Was driving east on hwy 58 when I looked up in the sky and noticed over 20 or more lights in a straight line moving south east. Sky was clear and stars where visible. I observed no other movement in the sky. The lights where bright and moving at the same time. The lights disappeared only to reappear as I got off the freeway and onto another side road. Same lights and same formation and going in the same direction. I pulled over to get a better look and to take a picture but my stupid camera wouldn't focus. The lights once again disappeared as quickly as they appeared. There are many testing sites near tehachapi/mojave so I figured it might be helicopters in formation or something to that effect but as I rolled my window down I didn't hear anything. Other then freeway traffic it was for the most part quite. Never seen anything like that before. Well hopefully this information helps. Tried to get it to you while it was still fresh in my memory. Also I was bet! ween tucker road and tehachapi willow rd when I seen both sightings. Thank you and I hope the information I gave you helps.

Ramona, CA
This string of lights was moving faster than a jet aircraft would at what appeared to be a comparable altitude. The string consisted of 20 - 30 lights that remained horizontally in line with each other and moved in complete silence. The movement of the row of lights appeared as though they were attached to each other by a single string. The wind was coming from the east and the lights were moving west. There was no noise at all and the lights were white with a similar intensity of brightness as the surrounding stars. They were too low to have been a satellite.

Iowa Falls, IA
I was twenty minutes eastbound, out of Iowa Falls, along U.S. Route 20, when I discovered that I had an escort, or something like that. It was right around 4 AM, when I noticed, from the driver’s seat, off to my left, that a circular object, a disk, or a lopsided orb, a blob, which was illuminated white on top, and lime green on the underside, with a row of flashing colored lights in the middle, was pacing my vehicle, a semi truck hauling a refer trailer, a load of Covid vaccine destined for Cedar Falls. My first impression was that this was some kind of highway patrol drone, so I slowed to the limit. After a minute, it dawned on me that this was something even stranger. My “escort” flew 30’ off the left side of the vehicle, and maintained a position that looked like it was 20’ ahead of the truck, and about 15’ above the cab. This thing, it was, well it had to be at least 12’ in diameter, and the light source appeared to be coming from within the interior... in other words, it glowed. You could say that it had an aura, and there were moments, as the thing preceded the truck, when the aura changed shape, and appeared to surge ahead of the object. Not sure what I was dealing with, I got on the radio and told the security car, which had probably driven a mile ahead of me, to haul ass back to my position. I think I shook him up, because he was all excited, and told me that he’d have to take the next exit and double back to me. After another three or four minutes, the blob accelerated, speeding into the night ahead of me, toward the eastern horizon and Cedar Falls.

Medfield, MA
Approximately 9pm EST, on February 17, 2021, just above the tree line (sky was dark), was a brightly lit object, moving at a slow to medium speed, with a chevron shape and white lights covering both wings. Watching as the first one moved from South to Southeast, a 2nd was spotted following the same exact pattern, followed by a 3rd object, also same pattern, speed and location in the sky. Once they were out of sight, nothing else was spotted.

Arnold, NE
For what it’s worth, I thought I’d try making a submission. Stepped onto the front porch, yesterday morning, to retrieve the paper. So there, across the street, suspended above the neighbor’s house, was a flat circular disc. The underside of this thing, and it was probably seventy feet in diameter, was flat, and perfectly smooth, and dark gray in color. The topside, however, rose from the outer rim to a smooth dome. I guess you could say that it was shaped like a sand dollar. I couldn’t tell if this thing was metallic, or some other material. As I said, the underside was a dusky gray, while the top was a lighter gray color. As well, this thing looked like it was stuck against the sky. I mean, it wasn’t flying, or hovering, and I wasn’t aware of any sound, an engine sound, or some kind of propulsion system. So what do you do? I picked up the paper and walked back to the house, to the kitchen, where I casually poured myself a cup of coffee. Honestly, I wondered if I should call my neighbor and let him know that there was this disc, which sat fifty, or so, feet above his house. As it was, I stepped into the living room and pulled the drapes... and wouldn’t you know, this thing wasn’t there, which left me thinking, so it’s going to be one of those kind of days. The sighting, the initial sighting, followed by the trip to the kitchen, and pulling the drapes, took about fifteen minutes.

Garden City, ID
At 6:20 am on Wednesday February 17, I saw a string of lights moving through the sky above the clouds. The object contained about 50 discrete lights that move gracefully along almost right above me. At any given time, I could only see about 10 lights spaced equally part. The object or objects appeared to be part of a single string because they did not appear to move independently from each other. After about a minute I could not see the lights anymore either because they were obscured by clouds or because they moved beyond my range of vision. They did not simply turn off all of a sudden. Rather, they seemed to flow away from my vision to a point where I could no longer see them.

At 5:25am PST I walked into our backyard to check on our dog. Something caught my eye in the sky and looked up, southern skies towards Fresno, Ca. What I saw made me freeze, it was a perfect string of lights, almost like airplanes if my brain was trying to confirm what I saw. Not even in spacing but very close together. Almost like a Christmas string of lights, they were moving at a steady but not rushed pace until they disappeared from view. I posted on Facebook what I saw and immediately four of my friends who were just leaving their workout all saw it. Another friend's husband recorded them. Nobody has any idea what they were...

Auburn, CA
High in the Eastern sky over the Sierra Foothills I observed as I can best describe this as a two long but separate straight string of lights. Like a. Long passenger train might look like at night with all the light showing through open windows. I watch as the first one moved I a north to south direction with a 30 degrees down angle. It took 2 to 3 minutes to make its way out of view but as it did the 2nd one which was identical to the first came into view following the same path and same duration .

Genoa, NV
Had to take my dog outside early in the morning a little after 5am when still dark outside. I looked up at the night sky to see two groups of at least 20-30 bright white lights in a straight line. They were moving across the valley in a straight line formation. I couldn’t hear anything. It was a silent night. The lights were very bright and small, a little bigger than the stars. But I could tell they were lower than the stars and it appeared to be 20-30 in a row following each other. After it moved across the valley sky it disappeared.

Olympia, WA
I was on my phone in bed when I noticed a flashing light coming from outside the window next to me. Immediately after the light, I heard a weird mechanical type of sound. Sounded like something grumbling or a cog in a machine moving. Both the flash and the sound lasted a second each. A few seconds later, another flash happened followed by that same mechanical sound. Both flashes occurred within around a 10 second period.

Montello, WI
I was driving home on a back country highway when I saw one light appear in the sky. At first I thought it was a shooting start but it stayed a glow and was to big to be a distant start. Seconds after I saw about 6 identical lights appear after the previous in a straight horizontal line. Then all at once all six lights disappeared at the same time. I’ve never seen anything like it and had chills and goosebumps run down my spine. I’ve always been intrigued and believed in UFO sightings etc but NEVER thought I’d see one. Beside myself. The lights that appeared were white and large. Looked as if the size of a small tennis tennis ball in the sky. They didn’t all light up at once. They followed in sequence after the other.

Purvis, MS
On February 6th my wife and I were driving from our house and taking a shortcut on Oak Grove Road very close to Hattiesburg Mississippi. My wife was driving and it was almost dark, she asked me to look over to the left just above the tree line, and when I did I saw an absolutely huge object just hovering above the trees. I couldn't make out the entire object because of its size and how close we were, but it was huge and kind of thick with lights flashing all around it. my wife only saw lights because she didn't have time to look at it in detail due to the fact that she was driving. I've been back a couple of times to the same area and there's nothing that I could have mistaken for this.

Corbin, KY
While outside I heard a very loud airplane like noise. The noise was loud enough to startle me and lasted 5-6 minutes. The object itself was charcoal gray in color, diamond like shape, and not low flying. I saw the object for 30 seconds and it went up instead of forward or backward into the sky. Because of cloud cover and the object moving quickly I had to run through my yard to maintain visual on the object.

I got up to go to the bathroom at 4:30 am and we have waterfront property(clear view) looking towards Point Robertson light house on Maury Island, WA. About tree line horizon I saw four then three oval shaped looking lights and then one went about half way down and was more like a blip that disappeared.

Just wondering, but out towards Scottsbluff there’s a noticeably bright, ultra bright, light. Being this is late, I don’t believe this is a planet setting on the horizon. Doesn’t appear to be a meteor, because it’s not moving. Maybe space debris reentering from orbit, but would it just hang like that? A weapon launch, or a flare, or some kind of denotation? Too big to be a flare. Anyway, my husband says it’s the brightest landing lights he’s ever seen.

Arthur, NE
Really quite brilliant, looking toward the west, at some distance on the horizon, a bright light below the cloud cover... twenty degrees, or so, above the horizon. Standing in my driveway, just off the porch, and, as I say, looking west, there remains a singular, stationary, light, which is quite large. My thumb, at arm’s length, doesn’t cover it. The illumination similar to an arc light, or a welder’s torch. According to the National Weather Service, visibility is 7 miles, wind from the SE at 9 mph, temperature 10 degrees below zero, with a wind chill at 19 degrees below zero, and skies are mostly cloudy.

As I was about to go to sleep, I heard a really loud sound, almost like a buzzing sound. Loud enough to shake the house, but people who were sleeping didn't hear it. I thought that it probably was an airplane flying low, but the sound and volume remained consistent. So I peaked out my window to see what it was. I saw a blurry figure, and it was emitting a blue, almost white beam to the ground. I noticed a sphere descending from the blur. As I was trying to make sense of it all, the sound stopped immediately and the light disappeared. I thought I probably dreamed it, but my neighbor mentioned the loud sound as well without me mentioning anything about this the next day. He was awake at that time too.

Wentzville, MO
Looked at sky on clear night. Observed bright UFO that looked reminiscent of a star, but brighter. It stood out from the rest of the stars in the sky and I pointed it out to my significant other to see if they would be able to tell me which star, or planet it was. Moments after I helped identify the UFO, we both observed the bright star shrink very quickly before fading away, as if it were traveling away at great speed. We were facing south. That is when we both looked at each other in disbelief. We have not observed anything like this in the same area since, and even on clear nights there are no stars in that direction.

Las Vegas, NV
On February 15 at 22:06 I observed a Chevron shaped object from my backyard on the west side of the Las Vegas valley moving approximately 13 degrees north. The object was above the light clouds, had no lights and had no discernible sound. The object was approximately 1000 feet from tip to tip (large passenger planes that fly in the same area would be about 1/10th the size). I attempted to get a video with my iPhone X but could only see darkness on the video. I have been hesitant to report this but needed to get it off my mind as it has really changed my view of the world. Signed, Former sceptic

I was looking at the stars, when I noticed a flash of light go to another star and from the first star I seen four more go to the other star and then I seen the 5 flash to another another star. Then they flashed other again then disappeared. I wish I had my phone with me at the time. But I didn't see them again
