Buckner, KY
6/6/2020 11:15pm EDT Buckner, KY 40010 I am an amateur astronomer and computer engineer as a career. I’m accustomed to understanding the world around me and what I see. Saturday night, my wife and I both saw something I can not explain. It was an orange orb moving across the sky. I’m guessing it was between 5-10,000 feet in altitude and roughly the size of a 747 at that height moving at about the same speed as a commercial airliner at that altitude. The most common explanation online is a Chinese lantern, it was not one. I held an ATF license for commercial fireworks for 3 years and have set off many Chinese lanterns. It moved in a straight line with no changes in speed or direction. We watched it for a solid 60 seconds from directly overhead to disappearing over the horizon moving north to south. Comparing it to a full moon, it appeared to be ¼ to ½ of the size. It was very large compared to anything else I’ve ever seen. It also made no noise. No sound of an engine, no hum, nothing. I am attaching a very poor video where I captured the last 15 seconds of the object as it disappeared over the horizon.

I was on my way home from work, heading west on I74 from Indianapolis. As I was approaching the Ronald Reagan exit I saw a flashing green and white light overhead. The green light was above the white light and slightly behind it. The lights appeared to me moving north and as they crossed over my location the green light was no longer behind the white light but directly above it. After they had passed over and were on the other side of my view I didn't see a green light anymore but just two white lights, no longer one on top of the other but next to each other and they were still moving north. The lights were flashing, I never saw them stay on continually. After I had gotten off the Ronald Reagan exit and heading south on Ronald Reagan I looked back to see if I could spot it again. As I was Heading South looking behind me I was able to spot the object once more, Still the white lights next to each other, with a little space in between (just two lights) possibly as if one on each wing? I really couldn't make out any shapes only the lights. At this point it seemed it must have turned around because it was now heading south. I had to pay attention to the road and at my next chance to look I couldn't spot it again. to me it appeared much too large to be a drone.

We were setting in our back yard looking for shooting stars whe. We started seeing things going across the sky. Some could possably been satellites and a couple were shooting stars but some i don't know what they were. You would catch a flash then it would go across the sky like a plane but moving at a high rate of speed very high up and there was no tail.

My husband wanted to show me the strawberry moon tonight. We went outside the house but couldn't see the moon. My husband asked for my iPhone to upload the stars app to see where the moon was positioned. I was looking up and was distracted by light moving high up in the sky, too far up for it to be a plane and there were no blinking lights. I asked my husband to look and he said it was probably a satellite. We both waited to see it again as it passed through a small cloud, it didn't pass through as expected and we didn't see it again. We both looked at each other. We found the position of the moon, it was too low to see because of the trees. He also looked to see what satellites might have been in the area or planes using an iPhone app. There were no satellites or planes in our area at that time. Direction S to E.

Saw an illuminated orb-shaped object while traveling North on 202 (was a passenger in a car, driver did not witness). Object was traveling relatively slowly (similar speed to a bi-plane) towards the South in a consistent linear path. Orb-shaped object appeared to be metallic and was highly reflective. The object was not remotely shaped like a conventional commercial aircraft, nor did it have any sort of hazard lights. Witnessed object traveling for about 5-10 seconds, turned away, then upon turning back the object was nowhere in sight. Tried to monitor that section in sky for a few minutes after initially seeing the object but couldn’t identify it a second time.

My partner and i were on a walk with our dog looking for loud music in our neighborhood. On the walk home i thought this very bright close light was the north star. I look over and my partner was already pointing at the light he said "do you see that babe" the light then left away from us into space away from the earth and was gone in a matter of seconds. It was just gone away left this earth. It just disappeared into the darkness of space.

There was 1 object. The object was bright red/orange. It was very far away but moving very fast. The object appeared to be falling. I do not think it could’ve been a balloon or a flaming object of some sort that the average person could’ve put in the sky to make it appear to be a UFO. The object was falling far too quickly but took too long to fall for that to be the case. My positioning was about a half mile southwest of the middle of the city. I was personally facing just east of south. About 5 o’clock (if 6 o’clock is south and I’m at the center of the clock). I stared at the object for a few minutes from my deck after someone pointed it out. I then pulled out my phone and took a video. The object appeared to me to be on fire as it seemed to flicker. It was potentially falling at a fast rate very far out. I have seen meteor showers, Venus, and once I believe a falling satellite. I do not think what I saw was any of these three things. I searched online to see if anyone else saw this and I made a post about it to my local subreddit. No one had any input or news on what it could’ve been.

As a former airline pilot I can tell you this was not a strobe light or aircraft.

We where out fishing on the women lack chain of lakes, full moon seen a huge thing in sky multiple lights moving a semi fast pace object was in the sky was the size of 1/4 of the lake from how high above us so was very large, was gone with what looked to be a flash of lightning, was very odd, what we where looking at appeared to be the side of the craft when it was flying over many of the loons and other animals seemed to make distress calls while it flew over head

I thought, could've been two military jets? I doubt it, they moved faster than any military jet. Both objects had a brilliant white light "not flashing", moving northeast towards Pendleton, Oregon. Duration of sighting was no less than 10 seconds and no more than 15 seconds.

A bright red object traveling like a plane going southwest. As I watched, a red spark rained downward from The object and the object kept going. Weirdest thing I have ever saw.

It looked like something in a star wars movie there was like a ball of light then a triangle formation with like 3 rows with at least 100+ ufos all white on bottom only one red in the middle each formation in formation then they just parted off in different directions then disappeared. was a clear sky 100% clear visibility. Started to panic with 3 other witnesses they are real!!! Duration lasted 30-40 seconds

I was awake when all the sudden I heard a very mechanical noise and then green and blue bright lights shown into my window. I live in the 15th floor and there are no tall buildings near me and it didn’t sound like a helicopter or anything like that. The moment I grabbed my glasses so that I could look outside and see what was going on the sound and the lights turned off. My assumption is that it was a UFO although I could not see it other than the lights and hear the sound seven times, three long and four quicker.

Around 1AM on June 5, I looked out my back door towards the West. Low on the horizon (referenced a marker on the horizon with tree line), I saw one extremely bright light. It was "wobbling," but not moving in a line similar to an aircraft. I thought it could possible be a satellite, but decided to return in 15 minutes to see if it had moved. Upon return, the object was now much higher on the horizon, and it started to randomly fade out to total darkness, and then, without any noticeable pattern, it would brighten back to a bright burst. There was no cloud cover in this area as stars were visible in the general area. I return approximately 15-20 minutes later to see a second similar, but smaller light in the same area; however, this second light never pulsed. I think that the spacelink satellites may have been in our horizon area, but not sure if this was them as there were only two lights and at at 1AM.

while looking at the full moon my son noticed what looked like the space station flyover which we're familiar with . the object was about 74 degrees height not quite 90 as it passed.we'd been looking now for about 10-15 seconds and then it flared, the intensity of light grew enormously. the object now was 15- 20 times larger light than before,this lasted about 3 seconds then receded back to the original size. we checked flyover times and there was a thursday 10:12 pm max height was 10 degrees. It started in the west 10 degrees and disappears 11 degrees above the SSW, so this doesn't fit the flyover we saw. The flare was the best we've ever seen. So the question is does the ISS flare ?

Saw a shape in sky that had square boxes that looked like train windows. Outline of object blended into partially clouded sky. Moved to second location not in a direct horizontal line. The object disappeared and then a very bright light similar to a star appeared and then quickly disappeared.

Bright light in sky, Size of venus, originally thought it was a star until it started moving across the sky was West to east towards the full moon, the light suddenly just disappeared. Not a satellite, it was too large & it was moving too slowly. Approx. 1-2 Miles up in the air (?)
