Gansevoort, NY
Approximately 8 pm 10/24/2020, my daughter and I were walking when we saw a massive line of lights jet accross the night sky from the north to south just above Mount Mcgregor. The sky was very cloudy and a bright moon. Clouds appeared to be moving from northeast to southwest. The line of lights slowed and met with a triangle shaped object with 3 flashing lights, a green hue appeared as the triangle appeared to be rotating slowly. I called for my son to come out. The line of lights disappeared and just 3 lights were visible in the clouds changing white to green in the clouds. We moved to a field without lights to see better. We saw 2 more sets of triangle lights and another some distance away that just move so fast it joined the others. They seemed to just sit there just above the mountain top within the clouds. We watched for another half hour before they disappeared. We drove over the mountain to see if they moved somewhere on the other side, but no luck. We checked through out the rest of the night, no other siting.

Enid, OK
I saw a long chain of lights. There were approximately 20 small spears of light. Each light was separate but they were very close together, much like what you would see if you laid a pearl necklace in a line. The lights were mostly white but there were other colors as well. This perfect line of lights moved relatively fast and in about 25 seconds was out of my view. I am familiar with birds flying at night. I do not believe that is what I saw. The lights were traveling ESE.

Kingsland, TX
Line of about 50 lights moving from north, northwest to south, southeast slowly. Lights were in line, not blinking, and moving as if connected, not in formation. I moved into the yard with binoculars as it moved overhead and they faded out. I was calling out to my neighbor to look, but he was entertaining guests and didn't hear me. I'm on the south waterfront side of the Llano river arm of lake LBJ.

Davis, TX
Several dot shaped laser lights slowly traveling in a linear formation were seen at Turner Falls Park by ten of us at about 8pm. Looked like Braille and consisted of about 10-20 dots and were symmetrically spaced. Lasted about 20 seconds and slowly faded. Reminiscent of a plane trailing a banner behind it, but it was very high in the sky and very bright before the dots faded. The sighting was seen by a group of us that included an air traffic controller and we were all not quite sure as to what we had seen.

Long maybe 16 lights on side the same on the other side very uniform in the middle of the lights were longer lights that were spaced. I only wished that I would have had my camera phone, in my 67 years of living have ever seen any like this.

Dunbarton, NH
At approximately 1945 on 10/24/20 for at least 4 minutes we observed a string of lights moving in the western night sky of Dunbarton NH. It was low in the sky traveling over an open meadow near the road. It moved very slowly and as it came closer I could see it was very large in a long “shoebox” shape. It was silent and the white lights on it were in a straight line and constant. We lost sight of it as it passed by.

We all say about 10 circles in a linear formation moving fast away from us late at night during an event. Multiple people saw it and no one knew what it was

Hamilton, NY
We were eating supper when our 12 yo child looked out the window and thought she saw a shooting star. She paused for a few moments then mentioned to my husband and I that it wasn’t moving. My husband then looked out the window and said, ‘what the h*ll is that?!’ I got up from my seat and went to the window and saw a very large object in the sky, with large blue/white lights evenly spaced apart. There were approximately 10-15 lights all moving in unison. I could see the object rotating. My husband and I ran outside to get a better look and i could clearly see the saucer shape with the lights affixed to the edge of the object. The object had been hovering in place for at least 20 seconds from the time we all saw it, until we were in our driveway looking at it. It tilted left for a few moments, then leveled, then tilted right. It then backed away from us towards Otselic/Lebanon then moved quickly to our left towards Smyrna. The object again hovered for about 5 seconds, its lights could still be seen beyond the clouds for several seconds when all of the lights suddenly disappeared. During the course of all of this, a smaller airplane sized object moved at incredible speed ahead of the object. We do not know if they are related, but it moved faster than any plane we’ve ever seen in the sky.

Saw a long line of lights (or one only illuminated line) moving N to S at what appeared to be high altitude aircraft speed, but closer to the ground and hundreds of feet long.

I was looking at the moon and planets. Just east of the moon I seen what I thought was a meteor breaking up into fragments. It traveled from North to south then faded as it seemed to get further. Color of objects is white 10-20 in a semi liner pattern moving together

Pulling out of driveway on hewins street in sheffield and saw a row of bright LED like lights level acros the sky maybe 10 to 12 lights long. I stopped and then drove north slowing watching as they did not move. After driving by a short section of trees and a small hill blocking my view the lights were no longer visible

East Haddam, CT
4 adults witnessed a string of white lights to the West against a dark sky. The lights were moving very slowly right to left, observed for about 30 seconds or less and then slowly faded out. The lights moved in unison together, no movement among themselves. Sky was clear and dark. No blinking was observed.

They slightly swayed back, and forth like a snake, from head to tail. They appeared as if they entered the atmosphere, but they did not break up, they stayed in uniform, almost lined up single file . There where others planes in the area, but this appeared to be higher. The other planes where traveling from west to east, and Detroit Airport is about an hour north east of here, this came from slighly northwest, and traveled slightly south east. Rather than fade away in the distance, this whole uniform of lights seemed to disappear. It didn't make any sound, i tried to take a video of it, but i couldn't get my phone to work. It didn't make any noise. It appeared as if a bunch of planes where grouped together single file, but like hundreds. The whole mass of lights moved together swaying slightly like a snake. There where no trails, no stragglers.

Oxford, MA
The object we observed was a disk shaped looking object with about 30 or so individual extremely bright white lights on it that did not flash . It was flying at a slight angle. It was not very high in the sky, as it moved in the sky from North West to west and was visible for about 15 to 20 seconds and than the lights just completely disappeared. The sky was clear and you could see stars and a few aircraft in the distance but they were much smaller compared to the unknown object and the aircraft had blinking lights and were higher than the unknown flying object.

Sterling Heights, MI
A long cigar shaped ship moving East following a small star. The ship had 15-20 lights, and looked as if it was in our atmosphere, or that close. I would say at that distance it much of been 3/4 mile long.

Wilmington, NC
A group of friends were on a small island on the intracoastal near Wilmington, NC. We saw what first appeared to look like a comet in the distance but it continued to come closer to our location. Once it was above our group it looked like a long disc shape with approx 10 equally shaped and uniform white lights. All 7 in our group witnessed the same account. It was not like anything we had ever seen. It soon disappeared altogether. There is no explanation for what we saw.

Bennington, VT
I was sitting on my front steps on the south west side of west mountain in South West Vermont, Bennington County. Looking out to the west where the sun sets I saw what I thought was a satellite. I then saw another light and another, behind the empty trees. I moved to see past the trees and I saw it. First I though "OH! thats starlink satellites." This was quickly dropped as I saw the front and end of the craft. It was almost like aerogel. Kinda transparent. It was like the moon and the sun was just right to refract light through it or I would have only seen the line of lights. It looked like a pipe fish from the deep sea. It had what looked like a hollow in tube front and a slender tail. I could not get it on camera, I only caught a tiny light of it. I immediately went inside to find starlink in the sky. It was not any where near me. No satellite or other craft was in the area at the time. It was 1000% a cigar shaped UFO. I have seen things that I ! could have excused, but was too strange to conclude. Not this one. Not even slightly. I am so certain that this is EXACTLY what others have been seeing as it was one of the first pictures I found when searching for the UFO. I am not very versed in what they look like in pictures or reports. It made the fact that I saw a CLEAR picture some one else took of a similar craft, that much more confident I was seeing a UFO. It had the exact same hollow tube nose and slender tail with the same lights. What bothers me the most, I got distracted from the subject within 5 minuets. The next day I was thinking about that and had a thought"... did I see one before?" I might have. Living in Long island NY early 2000's I was coming home late around 10 or 11. I saw 3 lights in a triangle formation. First stars I thought, but moving, so no. Next I thought plane. Nope! No flashes and size getting bigger. Eventually it was directly over head. It took up the entire sky and flew comple! tely silent. I could not see through it. It blocked out the st! ars abov e my head and I knew at that point it was a solid craft. So I say maybe because as clear as this memory is, it does not feel like mine. No matter how much I go over it in my head I feel like its not my story. I did not remember this until I thought about forgetting the NEW UFO I am reporting here. Why did this not take over my life? Why is the shock value so diminished so soon? What is that? I know for a fact what I have seen this time. The cigar shape will be burned into my mind forever... I assume. The triangle craft, I will never know if that was a real memory or not, and that hurts my foundation of reality as I usually have an amazing grounding even in things I forget. It has a certain feeling of right or wrong and this one wont fit that. It's stuck in the middle like it was another persons story that you adopted some how. So strange. In summary, I saw 1 cigar shaped UFO with a front tubular looking end, and a slender tail. It was moving across the sky from north to south. I saw the ship sideways looking from the east to the west. It had a translucent body, like a deep see pipe fish with luminescent dots on its side. It was also reminiscent of translucent blue aerogel. It moved slowly and consistently. Lights where ?star yellow? no blue or red or flashing of any kind. Time was 7:28pm on October 24th year 2020. I have no special credentials to give me any credibility. I will say this, I am rational and look to be skeptical in an objective observational sense. I would still accept information to prove or disprove what I have seen. It is very hard to dismiss ones own eyes when a simple search brought up a clear photograph of what one has seen. The craft was almost 100% identical to a famous picture I have seen that was taken by George Adamski. The only missing bit was the more tapered tail, but that could h! ave been formed in the edge of the atmosphere? Like a comet tail? Maybe one day we will all know. Until then, Im gonna keep looking up!

I was told by a friend said come outside now me my daughter and her friend ran out to see a wide craft with about 10-15 square windows. It was just floating there not moving at all. It was bright like the moon tonight. Then it started fading. I took a picture and with flash on it caught my finger. There were few clouds near the horizon from our point of view but not near the object. From where i was standing i would say it was towards maybrook ny. It just faded away no noise no smoke nothing. To my left i could see a plane leaving a smoke trail. But this object there is no explanation i am as big of a skeptic as one can be and always think people do these reports for attention but i have never seen anything like this ever. I would think someone was a crack pot for saying what we saw tonight but i still cannot explain it.

As I was driving on the thruway, I noticed what looked like a line of stars high in the sky. I was stunned by the perfect spacing and linear nature of the lights. As I drove toward this dotted line of lights, it began to move away and shrink in size. When I got close enough to drive under it, I lost sight of it.

Long string of lights seen hovering just above buildings on West St in Keene NH, as if it was a saucer with lights along it. Disappearing 10 seconds later.

The five of us were by a bonfire. It just had turned dark outside. We saw a long line moving from the northwest to the southeast. It first looked like a contrail from a plane to me but it was moving at a good pace. We saw flickering within the line. It is impossible to say how big it was but it was above the clouds so it makes me think that it was massive in length.

We all looked up at the 'star' and it turned out to be this big, long string of lights that was moving very rapidly. We watched it as I drove for about 3 minutes and then all 5 of us suddenly lost sight of it. The craft was very long and looked like a string of Christmas lights, moving perfectly straight through the sky.

Driving down the 80/90 turnpike when my wife and I saw a cigar shape hovering over 80/90 in Ohio on our way home from cedar point. Approximately 20 lights in a straight line on the underside. We could see the shadow of the object above the lights.
