My husband and I were sitting outside skywatching and at about 9:18pm, low in the sky, we spotted a light moving from north west to the south east. A couple of seconds later we saw another one, on a very close path of the first one. And a few more seconds went by and we saw another one, and another one, and another one. In all, there were 13 of them following, not the exact path, but a similar flight path… as if they were actually following each other. None of them blinked. They looked a lot like white stars, but moving. The entire sighting lasted about a minute as we watched them go out of sight. I’ve been sky watching for years, and I’ve never seen satellites do that. I’ve seen a couple fly by, sometimes in the same direction, or in different directions at the same time, but 13 of them in a row, all heading in the same direction? If those were satellites, I’ve never seen anything like that before. It seemed extraordinary.

I was driving north bound on Beneva Road at the intersection of Fruitville road in the turning lane to go east. I saw through my windshield what looked like thousands of balloons that had all been released at the same time. However, there were no crowds of people or anything to cue a balloon release. I continued to watch and it was moving together like fish scales. It was a translucent silver color. I turned when the light did and they continued to go eastbound on Fruitville with me. I turned on Richardson road to go home and was continuing to watch out my driver side window at the object. It then darted off at a high rate of speed over the Fruitville park soccer field going northbound. I have never seen anything like this. They all moved as one together like fish scales almost. The objects were shiny and glittery like.

May 3, 2020 at 3:15am Trieste Community in Panama City Beach, FL It started when i looked out of my window and saw a bright light..originally thought it was a medevac heli that i see often in middle of night .i always pull up flightaware when I see it....flightaware always shows it leaving one of the hospitals in town for either the Destin hospital or Pensacola…i opened a different app called RADAR24 this time..it showed nothing in the sky ..i ruled the medevac out fast..actually I remember ruling out pretty much everything that I thought it could be due based on how it moved around..never seen anything like it. . at times it would move like a helicopter..then circle like a plane would circle…i have been into planes my entire life..during the day I can tell you what type of plane is flying overhead at 30,000 ft...this thing was out of the ordinary..(the way it moved)..it did 2 or 3 circles like you would see an airliner circle…then it did a slow dive before going back to the same position… This had been going on for 20 minutes..i was able to find some binoculars.. i could actually see shapes with an outline…but the shapes would change as it moved around. at first it was a triangle with a bright spot in the middle…at some point it looked like a bright light with a big circle shape below.. at one point it started to leave but came back..when it did leave, it went away fast. about 20 seconds before i lost sight …during that 20 seconds, there were 2 bright lights on it…one on each side.…almost looked like “cartoon” speed….compared to how it was moving until that point…. it never returned.

Key largo, FL
It was a super clear night no clouds about 68 degrees in the keys. We were looking at this one bright star and it just started moving. It didn’t seem odd at first being a satellite or something but then it started moving in such strange movements and directions. It was sort of moving like an ant up there in the sky. It looked like the same size as the other stars, just moving from star to star. Then it would dim out and reappear across the sky. This was going on for about 15-20 minutes with multiple sightings.

On May 2, 2020 around 22:15 I was standing outside and while looking up I saw what appeared to be a dash of yellow/gold light with a rounded shape in front of it, the visual lasted maybe 3 seconds, but I definitely saw it and it threw me off. After seeing it my eyes became watery and it freaked me out. About 10- 15 minutes later I was driving on the road I saw the light and I saw something white float from the ground up. After viewing this my eyes again became watery and all other lights started messing with my eyes, especially a certain star.

On May 1, 2020 at 8:12 PM I was looking out my bedroom window and decided to take a picture of the sunset. After taking the picture I noticed a white spot in the sky and when I zoomed in on my iPhone on it it looked very strange. I ran to get my Nikon zoom camera and took additional pictures of it and the picture shows three bright white lights followed by a very bright stream of light following it. It continued on a path of 291° west and eventually disappeared into the sunset.

I seen a reddish streak moving from west to east lasting a few seconds. I thought it was cool that I seen a shooting star. However a couple of seconds later I seen the same reddish steak traveling east to west originating from the same general location as the first streak disappeared.

I was up late and playing GTA V and scrolling facebook at the same time. While scrolling I saw a post saying, "did you see that in the sky just now?" So I went outside and I looked each way I could but didn't see anything. I moved to the road to get a clearer view and I noticed the stars, and I noticed the North Star, so I turn and I noticed other bright lights. It was 3 lights in a line, the were moving very slow and then they sped up and vanished. I didn't think much of it and my partner and I went to sleep not long after. The next morning I woke up and went about my normal day but then I scrolled through facebook again and noticed other people talking about it on live videos and posts . I started looking online to see if there were any real reports and there were none but this website popped up so I decided to contribute what just happened. I am in St. Petersburg Florida and this was around 11:49pm to 12:30 somewhere in there.

Around 9:30 pm on 4/30/20 we observed a formation of moving objects flying overhead from North to South. It was a clear night. Each object had a white light and appeared to fly in a straight line. Estimate they were 1-3 miles high. Steady movement across the sky until out of sight. No blinking lights. No sounds. Event lasted about 3 minutes.

On April 30, 2020 at approximately 22:00 I was looking up while sitting on my deck. What appeared as two of the brighter stars near each other, about the width of your first two fingers making a peace sign held to the sky, as I did to measure, were moving in a southeast direction. Seeing them move was surprising. At about the rate of 5 seconds from my first to second finger. But, after that I saw more stars, there were no colors or blinking and the sky was clear. They came at the same spacing and continued. I counted 25 when I saw two side by side. After these, the single line continued and there came another 25 and again one pair side by side. A minute after these ended, I saw a larger rectangle object, which looked like the space station. I had seen the space station before and this looked and moved like it, from west to east. But, I looked up the spot the station site and it wasn't supposed to be visible here until 04:00. I read about the satellites in your site, but 50?

My wife was taking the garbage down around 9:20 p.m., she ran back to tell me to come outside quickly. Up in the sky moving West to East was a straight line of what appeared to be air craft of some sort. Each craft had only one single bright white with the exception of two that I saw. Those two craft had 2 lights on them in a straight line from West to East in the direction of the flight path. The last two craft were side by side bringing up the rear and they all disappeared shortly after passing overhead at or near 10 o’clock in the sky. There was no sound and no flashing indicator lights like you would see on commercial aircraft. The speed seemed to be much much faster then that of a commercial air line also. The parade of light were spaced equally in a straight line and lasted for almost 5 minutes with what we guess was 30-50 air craft. In the final few minutes our neighbor came out and witnessed the objects as well. We did try to capture a photo but they! did not come out.

Sighting occurred during my nightly dog walk. Casually gazing at the sky, appreciating the clear night. I happened to see a line of what appeared to be stars, but the formation did not make sense. I kept watching and realized they were traveling west to east across the sky. There were (6) of them, and one by one they magically disappeared at the same spot in the sky. Almost as if a portal of some kind opened up and they went right through.

As I was going for my evening walk, I looked up in the sky and initially I thought I saw stars but I noticed that these star-like figures were moving in the sky. They moved all at once in almost a perfectly straight line. The line was diagonal had a downward slope if you look from left to right. There was somewhere between 10 and 20 of these star-like figures and they all were moving in the same direction, at the same speed, and at the same pace. The sky was dark and these figures glided across the sky and within no more than 1-2 minutes, the figures were completely out of my sight.

I went outside look straight up in the sky and there was A-line of lights moving a cross the sky. They were moving North to South In a straight line they would appear About a quarter off the horizon North and disappeared about a quarter off the horizon South. Some were only a single light but some had a light next to it just behind it trailing. They were also solid lights no flashing lights seen. I have a friend that lives about a 100 miles away from me and he went outside and looked up in the sky and saw the same thing. I couldn't get any video because it was too dark but I do have 4 pictures.

lights all equal distance apart all moving the same speed coming out of one spot and then all fading over one second and then disappearing near the moon. it almost looked like they were on a string because they were all moving the exact same speed, and were the exact same distance apart. there were about twelve or thirteen in the line at the same time. also, some of the rights had 2 lights right next to each other.

It was a consistent line of moving lights evenly spaced, whereas halfway through the sky each one disappeared as each one appeared out of nowhere. No sound.

Brooksville, FL
I watched a string of lights, most equally spaced with two places where 2 were side by side movin from NNW toward SSE in perfect alignment . By the time I opened my iphone camera the only picture I got was of the last 4. One leading and 2 together and the 4th made a triangle. The moon was too bright and high in the sky to get a decent picture. If there is an explanation of what these were I would welcome hearing back.

Initially saw what looked like a straight line constellation over the horizon, but quickly realized they were moving. They moved steady and equidistant, north to south, except for the last which was close behind to the second-to-last and off to the right. They did not move very fast, and seemed to be very high up or smaller objects. All were in my view and another witness' view for 15 to 30 seconds before seemingly disappearing or going out of view. We live in an area with a fair amount of light pollution, so I couldn't see them trail off, it moreso seemed like they weren't there anymore. All gave off the same amount of light and I could not see an outline. There were no other lights on it, the object(s) was just one source of white light.

Dots of light in a line formation slowly moved in a southwest upward motion and each disappeared as it looked to be going upward.

Clear night, looking at the moon and stars, from the North came a line of line of lights 7 in front, 5 in the middle, and another 6 or 7 behind, they came from the North high in the sky, to the right of the moon, all in a straight line,heading to my left, I got the middle group on camera, they went in a straight line under the moon and as they continued to my left they disappeared into the atmosphere. What caught my attention is that they were all in a straight line and no sound was detected. Then just disappeared.
