Irons, MI
I was getting ready to go hunting in Irons lake Co Michigan about 6:30am and when I went out side I look to the north and seen a line of dots moving from the west to the north east. I went back in and told my brother. He came out and he seen the line of white dots moving also. I have seen Satellites before (1 or 2 at a time) but never 30 or 40 of them in a line moving like that.

There was a line of silent lights moving east over Seahome Arboretum. They weren't perfectly in line and didn't use normal plane flying formations. They appeared from behind a cloud and disappeared behind the tree line.

Edmonds, WA
We watched a string of objects that looked like stars about the brightness of Orion’s belt. They were moving north over Puget sound. They seem to be in pairs or groups of three but pretty much all in a straight line. They moved quickly and silently across the sky. We first saw them somewhere in the middle of the line that disappeared to our right off to the north. There was one That appeared out of the eastern sky and turned north to join the procession. We watched them traveling north until they disappeared out of sight. We would love to know if anybody else has seen this or knows what we saw.

There was a string of lights heading east. They must have been VERY high like in low orbit because I could not hear anything. My partner ((name deleted)) saw them first and came in to get me to come out and see them. We stood and watched them for about a minute still and it was a long string of lights that looked a lot like satellites. They were in twos and singles. There were easily over a hundred. They stretched all the way across the sky. They ended before 6:30 am.

Vancouver, WA
approximately 40 + satellite objects but probably twice the size and half again brighter moving at least 2 1/2 times as fast in pairs with a few single objects. all moving in a straight line from west to east at about 20 to 30 degrees above the ground level. i could almost say they seemed to be flying in formation all with the same exact trajectory. the objects appeared across the 2/3 of the night sky. As a comparison i also saw a typical satellite going a southerly direction and these objects were much brighter and faster. also i saw your typical commercial airplane in the sky and these things weren't even close. I tried to video them with my phone but it wouldn't pick them up.

New Leipzig, ND
I had gotten in my hot tub around 5:45 AM and was watching the sky for satellites going over. I spotted one lone satellite going South to North , then I noticed two what looked like satellites going West to East. I thought this was unusual as I have never seen that happen before. Then I noticed two more traveling in the same West to East line , both groups had the same spacing. As I watched they kept coming, equally spaced except for a few. Every so often there would be two side by side. I watched for what I think was maybe 5 minutes and counted as at least 61 went by. Maybe more as I might have missed one or two. The most fantastic thing I have ever seen !!!!

Bremerton, WA
0605 October 15th , 2020 8 miles from Bremerton, WA I took my dogs outside and looked up at the clear morning sky to admire the stars without cloud cover – for a change. I immediately noticed a long line of bright lights (14 in all) moving swiftly from west to north east. They were in a staggered line formation in loose groups of ones, twos and threes. They were very high, only slightly larger than background stars, which they were occluding. While they were in sight for only approximately 20 to 30 seconds, they were easily distinguishable as to be able to count accurately. I waited another two minutes, but no more presented themselves.

Keizer, OR
Night sky, clear, and 43f. Lots of stars. I was at work, in the warehouse yard looking at the big dipper. As my gaze dropped I picked up movement of a solid white light, no blinking, as you do when seeing a satellite. I even said to myself look a satellite. Then I observed a second light, same altitude, and along the same path SSW to NNE. So I thought a military flight. As I continued to observe, I saw a third, fourth and Fifth solid none blinking lights along the same flight path. I then thought a whole military squadron. I continued counting and I counted up to 80+ white lights or objects continue the flight path SSW to NNE. They kept a realitively equal distance apart, but several where grouped by twos and took on a closer wing man type formation. Three changed direct to a more East flight path away from the rest. I observed a point in the night sky that the objects seemed to appear out of a single point of blackness.

Benicia, CA
I began videotaping and captured what appears to be a circular multicolor pulsating disc spinning in a counter clockwise direction. I have a total of about 4 minutes of video with this object slowly moving in an upward slightly to my right angle. I was late to work so I left not knowing what I had captured, the object was still there as I drove away. It seemed to be out in space and must have actually been quite large.

Lakeview, OH
It floated relatively stably, moved slowly but not laterally like a fixed wing aircraft, and entirely too quiet to be rotary. My phone has a really great camera that does image stabilization, so the video shows the movement of the light as well as the maple branch off to the left of the screen without relaying my shaking. I have also included a secondary video of the sky, taken later, to show the difference in the brightest object available (Mars), as well as other stars, to show how difficult it is for the video camera to normally pick up faint light.

Subject: UFO Report: 10/14/2020, 11:30 p.m. EST To Whom It May Concern: I left my sister's house on [street name hidden] Way on Wednesday, 10/14/2020 at 11:30 pm EST (23:30 hours). As I drove down the street, I noticed lights ahead that were hovering over a house and not moving. I slowed down so I could try to make out what I was seeing. It was a large object (around 30 FT wide & 20 FT tall) hovering in the sky about roughly 50 feet above the roof of the house directly across the street from the [street name hidden] Way stop sign. Anyone with a good baseball arm could have thrown a stone and hit it. As I approached the stop sign, I realized it was a lot bigger than I thought- jet black and I could only make out the outline of the craft against the night sky...there were no other markings that I saw, only the lights and outline. It also made no sound that I could hear. I did have my windows up, but the neighborhood was completely silent and no one was outside so if it did display an engine-type sound, I should have been able to hear that considering how close I was to this thing (probably around 150 ft away from me). It had 2 yellow lights on either side of the craft and 3 red lights in the middle. It looked like an upside-down bell but a little wider, more triangle shaped but with rounded edges, and the lights were on the front, not on the side or underneath. It was very thick...very solid looking--not flat. There was nothing protruding on the craft, no wings or blades. It was very large, as I mentioned before--like the size of my living room w/ vaulted ceilings. My first thought was this must be a VERY expensive military surveillance drone due to its size but why the heck is it hovering in our community this late at night?!? It started moving toward me so I floored the gas and sped away as fast as I could. I wasn't sure if it was following me until I turned left on [street name hidden] Ct and there it was. It was on my left moving VERY slowly over the houses on [street name hidden] Ct. heading in the direction of [school name hidden] High School. I raced down the road and pulled into my garage, jumped out to take a picture of it and it was already gone. I have to tell you, that was the most frightening thing I've ever encountered. I made a police report the next day (10/15/2020) and the officer confirmed that “none of their drones were outside at time” and “their drones are only 24 INCHES wide.” I did not take any pics or videos because I was seriously so frightened of being abducted that I could not look away. I did, however, press my sister’s phone number that is saved on my vehicle’s home screen to call my sister via bluetooth. She can attest that I was screaming, “Come outside! Come outside! I think I’m witnessing a UFO!!” She thought I was joking and hung up. I’ve included a hand-drawn picture of what I saw. Thank you for looking into this matter. If it was military, it is quite concerning that they are in a residential neighborhood flying so close to houses.

Cedar Rapids, IA
I was driving and saw a line of lights floating in the sky. I pulled over to get my phone out to start recording a video so I can make out what is was. Then it started moving slowly and it went over my car and I couldn’t make out the shape all I saw was lights, a line of lights over the Cedar River. Each light would go in and out. It definitely wasn’t a plane or any craft I seen. Line of lights started moving when I started to record.

The object that was seen had a circular base and the lights went around in a circle and at first my sister and I thought it was an airplane at first but it was going straight up in the sky and we realized that it wasn't an airplane it was a UFO and it was our first time seeing one for ourselves and what it was doing was it was just flying and I think it was looking for something but I don't know, and there was only 1 UFO that we saw and the color was red blinking lights with white lights it kinda blended into the sky. my sister and I are twin sisters and we are 15 years old I have a hearing loss and it didn't sound like a plane and my twin even said that it didn't sound like a plane.

Yardey, PA
Lived near Philadelphia International Airport and Trenton-Mercer Airport for over 30 years, objects in the sky do not catch my attention. I am also a bit of a weekend warrior space nerd and am familiar with "looking up" to admire the sky, space station passes, sky safari and NASA apps, that sort of thing so I do realize the various and sometimes seamingly abnormal or environmental/weather variables and being a self-employed remodeling contractor, realize that different angles can be misleading especially with depth perception and other Earthly phenomenon. Having said that just for clarification that I am not easily impressed or wild at things in the sky I did I do rationally make the ductions for everything in life, however this was nothing like anything I've ever seen. Bees two objects that originally caught my attention where somewhere in our atmosphere I would say distance wise. Other than that, I have no way of comparing distance to make specific, only that the intense color like a fire almost these two objects were lit up so bright I immediately started thinking about how. As stated, the distance looked like it was too close to be lit up by the Sun as a space station is, these were definitely self-generated lights. Unlike crafts with specifically placed marker lights and strobe lights, these were solid and color and did not blink or give other indicators of a typical aircraft. Speeds where unimpressive and nothing out of the ordinary as someone that is located near airportsis used too. Within five seconds of seeing these objects, I ran inside to alert my family members, pass through the house to the front yard, as 2 more objects we're moving across behind the first set. As those pass by and went behind building in trees horizon, 2 more preceded by in the same fashion, at a slightly faster Pace but still ordinary. As stated, nothing two impressive or attention-getting about anything besides the intense color of t! hese objects. Though these objects were much larger, the overa! ll tone almost looked like Mars on a very clear night. Family member that was immediately behind me after I ran through the house and alerted them, immediately saw what I was looking for and said outloud "oh my gosh what is that that's definitely not normal" and proceeded to repeat "that's not normal" several times and I have to say, she was right. I did pull out my cell phone and do you have the objects on video, however being at night time and zooming in at distance while probably shaking from adrenaline or such, needless to say the object in my video looks like anything would look at a distance at night time on a shakey cell phone and is pointless to review for furthering of any conclusive facts or answers. If it was not for this intense color, I would have assumed these were group formations going to McGuire Air Force Base approximately 40 miles away these however we're no aircraft that I've ever seen before or knew existed. Do not know what I saw exactly b! ut I know I've never seen anything like it before and again, that is only because of the intense color and how odd it was with no other identification or typical characteristics. Hard to describe in an impressive manner but I can only say it was impressive enough to leave a lasting impression on me. Don't have any evidence to base this off of obviously, but when I'm looking at something I can judge it pretty well as I said, gauging distance I immediately thought of the space station but this was too close to be out of Earth's Shadow. Definitely self generated lighting and it looked to be over the entirety of these objects. Not just strategically placed Lighting in specific places, almost like an exterior shell of all LED panels one would say as an example, where the entire viewable surface is 1 seamless solid light. I will also add, in video at night viewing any lit object, everything appears to look exactly like I just described. In person however, these objects were clo! se enough to see how it 100% truly was illuminated. No sound ! Was Hear d, which again was not out of the ordinary, due to the distance being far enough away to fit with typical airplane sightings and the sound of associated with them through muscle memory I suppose. Nothing else to add other than pretty much all average characteristics and movements and or other descriptive details other than the color and intensity of its illumination which unless was witnessed in person is probably underwhelming to hear a long winded person attempt to describe in detail. Whatever it was was surely cool and impacted be enough to lead me to this website which 24 hours ago I didn't know existed.

Observer1) On the night of 10/14/2020 around 8:30 pm. I was taking my puppy outside to take care of his business. I looked up in the sky and I saw something really big and moving slowly. As it got closer I called my husband who was sitting in the living room watching tv. What I saw was a rectangular craft about 300 to 400 feet up. Observer2) Rectangular in shape dark grey dull in color . Bright light on left side a red light on left corner was not a blimp.Longer than a football field it was dark really could not tell the height but I knew it was massive. It moved slowly like it was cruising.

Coming out of work site in the driveway in my truck with window rolled down I seen a really bright white light beside a star. It was perfectly still in the sky , I watched it for a couple minutes then I took a picture with my phone. As I was snapping the picture before I could blink it was gone but the picture caught it as it changed shaped to almost oval as it was vanishing. I couldn’t find it in the sky after that.

North Ft. Myers, FL
It was silent, with a LOT of blinking lights. There was an airliner to the right of this craft. The craft covered about 1/2 mile in about 10 seconds. Then it jumped forward like it was hopscotching across the sky. When it got very close to the airliner it just disappeared. It was not a star. It was not a man made aircraft. It was moving at an extraordinary speed. There were a lot more lights blinking than the usual lights you see on a jet. There had to be 10-15 lights all blinking randomly. It was very bright in the sky. My phone was charging and was only at 2% so I couldn't take a photo. I really saw it. Glad to take a polygraph.

We watched a craft about 600-700 feet above the homes behind my friends back deck jumping around the sky. It changed colors going from red to green to bright white and was blinking widely and appeared to not move despite going from one spot to another in the sky in the blink of an eye. It would also appear to jerk around the sky at points and was totally silent. We also observed a regular plane divert its course and drop low practically hugging the tops of the homes to avoid what ever this was. It had a clear oval shape to it every time it blinked and we both were able to capture videos of it and on video you could see just how fast this thing really was.

3 or 4 ships ..blinking and fading in and out..they changed positions from a triangle to a straight line ..one above the other and the top one moved to the right and slowly off blinking like an airplane and faded away and came back to the group and repeated the move. The others would kind of circle around and come back into the triangle form and line up again. This went on for 20 minutes or more. The color was bright gold and again they faded in and out.

Elizabethton, TN
Appeared to be fireballs with a dissipating trail falling toward earth at dusk. Two in number. October 14, 2020, 6:47 PM, Elizabethton, TN, looking toward Johnson City, TN. Witnessed also by neighbor. A couple weeks later, three similar falling fireballs with a fourth going across the western evening sky. A couple weeks later, one moving across sky in early afternoon sky around 1:00 PM. A few days before Christmas, two going across the early evening sky (dusk), one going south/north, the other traveling northeast to west. Both had long tails which dissipated behind object. Witnessed by adult male. Have a picture on cellphone of first one but picture isn't good. Wonder if they could be meteorites?
