Shirley, NY

I was driving down a long stretch of road when I saw off to the side a neon green sphere that dropped out of the sky, stopped, then shot sideways towards the water

At the Bunny Flat parking lot on Mount Shasta, a woman I had just met alerted me to look into the night sky (it was about 5:30 PM and the sun had set about 1/2 hour or so before). What we saw was about 20 star-like objects moving from the east to the west. They were moving faster than satellites that I have seen before and several of them were in a v or triangle formation. There were a couple rouge ones too that were going west to east and then one that was going north to south. But the general movement was in unison and not in a straight line. It almost looked the stars just started moving to the west and then stopped or vanished. All the Starlink satellite info that I have read says that they move in a line formation but these weren't. There were several of us that saw this and we were all just visiting the mountain for the day.

North bend, WA

I was waiting at the traffic light in town when I looked over to my right, above mailbox peak. What I saw was a very small, "U" shaped cloud-like object. It had sharp points at the top, and was thicker at the bottom, almost what you would expect a dramatic meteor to look like. It was moving so slowly that I at first thought it was a stationary cloudlet. As I continued to look, I noticed it steadily closing the gap between itself and the horizon, and it disappeared over the mountain.. Never seen anything like that before, but I would love an explanation.

Orlando, FL

We were driving out of our neighborhood and we coming to a stop sign. I looked up and seen a huge circle light. I yelled for my 10 year old daughter, “Look at that! Is that a star?” She looked up and we both watched the light at the stop sign and started. It looked silver and bright in a circle of light. It was higher up in the sky than a plane and it was too big to be a star in the distance. The sun was out and shinning. All of a sudden it just vanished! Gone! I drove and drove and pulled over to see if we could see it anywhere. It was just gone! Planes were flying by closer and looked like black fleas in the distance. If it were a plane it was definitely unlike anything I have ever seen fly over our skies and we are near the airport and our family retired with the airlines. This was not a plane! My daughter wanted to put it on her social media and denied her to. I thought we were losing our minds. I am glad I found your website. Now I know we were right wi! th what we seen. They are with us!!! And watching us!!!

Gig Harbor, WA

I witnessed 2 diamond shaped hovering objects, multi colored lights, in the sky's above Purdy, WA. They are either quite small, or very at a very high altitude. Much too high to be drones. They held their hovering location for at least 30 minutes, so they are not satellites. Their shape may have been due to the location of the lights.

Spokane, WA

Eastern Washington to the right of the moon and is a light flashing many colors like a twinkle of a star but bigger and twinkling faster than a star. I took a photo on my camera and it’s too far for perfect detail but it’s not a star and it looks like a sphere craft with lights blooming around it. A few planes have gone by.

Springfield, MO

my friend and I were on my back patio smoking cigars and I noticed a group of what I first thought was a small group of birds but quickly realized it was not. It was 4 dim lights, 3 in a triangle formation with the 3rd just outside the triangle traveling from west to east. I have no idea how high they were so I have no idea how big the craft was. They appeared to be traveling at a very high rate of speed and did very slightly from flying in a straight line. we observed them until we could not see them anymore. The event only lasted about 6 seconds. And we also noticed that they made no sound that we could hear. I am a USAF veteran and now my wife and I own a small restaurant and I'm a musician. My friend is a tile setter and is also a musician.

Lathrop, CA

I was heading upstairs at 10am when I spoted a light outside the second floor window. I saw that it was hovering in the air and had movement so I called for my wife and my brother to come see it.I took a picture and called my friend in the phone to come upstairs. We watched it move North West slowly but changing speeds and altitude. It dimmed the further it got from us until it disappeared after about 1min of me catching sight of it. My friend got upstairs and missed the first one. 1 min or 2 later a second one appears in the same spot hovers and then starts to move West. It slowly moves and has bigger changes in altitude towards the end as it also dimms away, lasting about 30sec. Winds were 3.4MPH South East that night.

Mountain home, ID

Saw three stars resembling Orion’s Belt to the south west. Confused, I kept my eye on it and gazed in awe as several more stars periodically appeared, all forming a straight line. At its peak, it looked like about 10 stars angling from left to right, all in a straight line. I was driving on 84 going west and was waiting for an exit to stop and take a picture, but one by one the “stars” faded away as I drove.

Deweyville, UT

We were headed south along Highway 38 away from our home. I looked out my window to the west and noticed a long line of what appeared to be stars or lights. They were rather faint, not nearly as bright as a star. They were all small dots and were not moving. They were all evenly spaced in a perfectly straight angled line and were all identical in appearance. The line was angled starting from the horizon going upward to the north. They appeared to be over the mountains that are west of Tremonton Utah. From the first time I saw them to the time they disappeared was about 3 minutes. I had my husband pull over so we could see them. My husband who is a mechanical aerospace engineer also saw them, as well as my 14yr old son. We all saw the same thing and they looked the same to all of us. When we pulled over I tried to take a picture but couldn’t see it on the camera on my phone. My husband got out and tried to take a picture but they disappeared from sight. They ! did not move or disperse they just completely went away.

Middleton, ID

girlfriend and I saw between 10-12 white illuminated objects moving from an SW to NE direction in the sky at night. They appeared to be coming from ground-level, reaching several thousand feet into the air. They were fairly slow-moving and faded-out seconds after first appearing on the horizon. The looked similar to flares, but were slower, bright white and all following the same path, forming a perfect line in the sky. They were spaced about a second apart from one another.

Hailey, ID

I saw a string of lights in the sky that looked to be the same size and brightness as the stars. They were in a diagonal line, straight line perfectly spaced out. I went to get a person close by to come and see what I was seeing. As I looked back to the sky, the lights were leaving one by one and disappearing until none were left.

Riverton, WY

A round light object moving from the northwest then stopping(note:no blinking lights...object made no sound)....then start moving again.The object stopped,stood still for several seconds then the round light object faded out at a fast speed straight up until it disappeared.

Iowa City, IA

Looking west towards Hyvee first ave and Muscatine and noticed 8 or 9 orbs in the sky flying in a straight line pattern at the same speed. After a few seconds they all faded one by one as they each approached a point in the sky.

Pacific City, OR

I noticed a stack of lights in the sky to the SWW over the Pacific Ocean. Spaced out like Orion’s Belt. I noticed it and immediately mentioned it to my partner. As we watched the lights moved closer together in an upward motion stacking and upon reaching the upper most point of light disappearing into the darkness.

Valentine, NE

Very bright white lights moved in a straight line from west to east from Jupiter to Mars. Approximately 100 in the first event then 38 moved from west to northeast at approximately 19:15 central time. The last object moved faster than the rest like it was attempting to catch up. The moon has not risen yet and this is several miles from the nearest town. There are a lot of stars Outside of the vehicle and turned the lights off to watch

Grants Pass, OR

On Friday, November 4, 2020, at 7:49 pm PST, I witnessed a string of lights rising in the sky at a uniform rate from about 15 degrees above the horizon to about 45 degrees above the horizon due west of Grants Pass, Oregon. When first observed there were 5 or 6 lights equidistant from each other at about a 70-degree angle to the horizon. They started to move up to a point above the highest light and more followed the lowest point. In all about 12 dots of light moved up and disappeared just above the point of the original highest light. The dots of light were like the size of the stars in the night sky at that time.

Blair, NE

We saw 12 lights moving from southwest to northeast. They were evenly spaced apart. The lights were all the same intensity. No flashing lights were associated with them. As they moved to the northeast they gradually faded away, one by one. We observed this for about 1 – 2 minutes.

Alfred, ME

I was driving to Sanford Maine when I seen 8 diamond shaped lights flashing forming some kind of line one started to get brighter as it disappeared then they all disappeared without movement. More like a fade away. Closer than the stars.

Mc Henry, IL

We were heading west on Route 120 just west of McHenry in Northern Illinois at approximated 18:45 on 04-Dec-2020. Approximately 12-15 white dots in a straight line (resembling lines on pavement) at a 45 degree angle pointing southwest appeared in the southwestern sky. The line did not move and remained stationary for about 3 minutes or more and then all lights vanished. There were no clouds present and it was very clear. We were not able to get a photo, as we were driving and there was heavy traffic. The cars in front of us were swerving as they apparently saw it, too.

Boulder, CO

The slow moving line of lights appeared to be coming from the south west. The lights, which looked too close to be satellites and too far and not blinking to be planes, were in a diagonal line. Though they were uniform in their diagonal line, they were not uniform in the spacing between them. They moved out of sight after about 2 minutes.

South whitley, IN

13 lights (what looked like stars but a bit bigger) moving at a steady pace, perfectly spaced out (but too close for airplanes) in a straight line disappearing at a certain point in the sky. Could not be picked up by camera.

Longmont, CO

A line of lights was traveling across the sky from west travelling north east. They disappeared one by one (not behind a cloud because they never reappeared). There were around 20 of the individual lights. They appeared to be traveling in a straight line. It’s pretty clear here tonight and we can see stars.

Evergreen, CO

15-20 white lights in semi vertical line in the sky. All lights evenly spaced apart all moving synchronized. Kept driving in unpopulated area, 30 seconds later saw 4 evenly spaced light in the sky horizontal, then they disappeared. Myself (49 year old R.N.) and my 16 year old daughter observed this. Tried to videotape the sighting, however it was too dark to capture on an IPhone.
