Sarasota, FL
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.

Dayton, NV
As I walked outside, at approximately 05:15am, something caught my eye. When I looked up at the morning sky (still dark, Sun light was rising in the eastern horizon) I saw multible small, dim White Dot Lights (WDL) moving around in a small area. Then, one of those Dot Lights would instantly flash bright for a couple seconds, at the end of the flash, I could see a couple dim White Dot Lights moving away from the flash area. Those dim White Dot Lights, after a couple secounds, would disappear. Then multiple dim Dot Lights would appear close to wear I saw the first set of lights. And those lights did the same thing. Then it happened again, then again. So I ran inside the to grab my cell to record it, and couldn't see any more going outside. This all happened in small patch of the sky, looking streight up and slightly to the North. DISCRIPTION: the dim Dot Lights looked the same as a dim star at night. The bright flash was slightly brighter than the brightest star in the night sky. Anyway, I saw this. It was quick. It ended. And now going on with the rest of my life .... cheers!

I was walking my dog in the morning before heading to work. We crossed a busy street and I looked back behind me and noticed how big the moon looked. In my peripheral I noticed movement, changing focus I realize it's not just anything but a string of lights moving in unison. After many lights go by a formation of 4 lights in a diamond shape go by. Many more lights go by and what looks like the end, a light from below comes in fast and joins but cutting in fourth from the rear. The four back off creating what looks like equal distances. Then two more join at the back, not at the same time. These come from above and actually don't illuminate until nearly coming into the back of the line. I tried to record with my cellphone but was unable to capture anything except audio of myself in disbelief. I actually flagged down a car who happened to be driving by but as soon as I mentioned UFOs they quickly accelerated away.

The object was very bright and moved incredibly slow. The distance it traveled would normally take a plane we estimate under 10 minutes to travel the space and distance this light traveled. It was bright, the shape unclear with periodic shards of red and what looked light possibly green lights shooting down from the base of it. It also has radiating white lights in beams periodically as well. They shot out like shards of a star. The shards that dropped below the light were approximately 5 times the length of the light. we observed it at 10:30pm when we walked our dogs. It was so obvious after we walked the dogs we videoed and shot pic pm my iphone of the light, It was too far to see anything other than a light. We watched it for 30 minutes until we finally looked away and it was gone. It was not a plane,. We are near the flight path for Stewart airport Middle town NY and Sussex airport Sussex NJ and I am very familiar with all types of planes traveling through our areas. In addition it was not a helicopter because we can always hear them even at great distances because we are high On a open hill. I do not know what we saw, however as can say I have not seen anything Ike this in the past 10 years I have lived here. My husband did experience a bight light in the middle of the night many years ago. So bright it woke him and scared him. I have not seen anything like this before.

I apologize for the screen in the way. Recorded by my security camera facing the north. This is my neighborhood. I have seen several more but Tim from MUFON keeps dismissing them.

I was on top of a hill with a clear view of the night sky - there wasn't much light polution so I took the moment to gaze up. An empty spot between a few spaced stars suddenly filled with light and slowly moved east toward Lassen. I followed it assuming it was a sattilite, but then another one appeared from the same empty space following the exact course and speed as the first light. Then another, and another untill I counted ten in all. Each moved across the sky perfectly spaced never excellerating or slowing. They remained on a straight course until no longer visible. Not sure how significant what I seen is, but it was weird enough to push me to write this.

5 lights equally spaced trailing each other. Appearance looked like satellite crossing the sky.

Again we looked out towards the North Star and witnessed 19 lights travel across the sky two at a time. This time there was a longer time between the lights as well as distance. It seemed as if they were lower than they were two nights ago. What is this?

I stepped outside looked up when I noticed what looked like a satellite coming from the west. It seemed to move a bit faster than a usual satellite and a little brighter. My first thought was it was in a low orbit. As it passed over head it quickly faded out as it moved into the shadow of the earth. A few minutes later I saw another one just like the first coming what seemed to be on the same trajectory fading out in the same position. It was then I saw others flying equidistant from one another on the same trajectory as the first. You could see two to three at any one time something like C17s flying in a strait line. This continued for about 10-15 minutes. I had been watching for a while before I got my old iphone noted the time and tried to take a picture which yeilded nothing. The date is a close estimation. I first tried to report the sighting a few days later but my computer was continuously Tying s like someone was holding down the key i.e. s! sssssssssssssssssssss. If anybody else saw this it would be interesting to know.

While looking at the stars in the direction to the west. I noticed an object to small to be an aircraft without running lights. I pointed to the object and my girlfriend and we watched it move across the sky. It then stopped immediately and went in the opposite direction, stopped again and went back to the original direction. At that moment another object appeared from the same location as the original and it began what looked like a chase with the first object. Then another appeared following the first two, then another. They all moved from West to North/West. We scanned the sky’s with our eyes to find them but they moved out of sight. Every few minutes we would find another really faint light moving across the sky at incredible speed for how far away it appeared to be. I would say they were all out of the outer atmosphere. We stayed out on the roof for another 20 minutes only to see one at least ever few minutes. Most moving in different directions. Eventu! ally we went inside , not because of the lack of sightings but because of the length of the sighting. The best part is that we have one very clearly breaking the laws of physics all on camera.

My husband and I were outside, I looked up and pointed out some satellite looking objects moving in one direction. We then noticed that there was way more than just one, we observed approximately 20-30 of these lights traveling in a perfectly spaced distance from each other and going northeast. This lasted for 3-4 minutes. It ended by the last light traveling across and disappearing like the rest.

Underneath the area where the space station is kept seeing a series of circular disks flying from left to right or South to North and they kept disappearing about 708 100 yd to a mile away from where the space station is and this is kept coming 1 by 1 by 1 after another.

100+ round lights traveling Northeast one after the other. Not aircraft, no noise was made. This happened for about an hour and is still occurring. Too fast to be aircraft, too slow to be meteors and definitely followed the same path of travel.

A Commercial plane flies past with a ufo pacing it perfectly, it was matching its speed and height, is was about 200 feet behind and down just a bit, as to avoid the turbulence from the commercial flight. We watched and there was some background clouds coming up so we could see if this ufo was just some sort of engine wash image but the ufo shape and form did not change as the cloud - which was white- sharpened the ufos image as we watched, we didn’t have our phones - so no image. We watched as they flew to the east and we couldn’t see them anymore. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite capable and sober-minded. She is quite eloquent in her description of the sighting, and she holds a very responsible job. PD

Went outside and saw tiny lights traveling back and forth. I stood on my porch thinking what is that, no sound, it was much to small to be an airplane. All of a sudden one passed over me and exploded into a beautiful burst of different colors then suddenly disappeared. I'm still in shock by what I saw, however it was the prettiest sight. Once again, absolutely no sound or fireworks smell.

single object moving north to south, near airport (approximately). If object was further away it was very large and moving very fast. Object seemed to change shape/color multiple times while in field of view.

Me and my wife were walking our dogs, an she said wow look at that satellite. I looked up an saw a light traveling across the sky, an then another, 10 seconds behind the first. And a stream of them like that. One after another. We just stopped in the middle of the r oad an watched. They we’re moving very fast. They would just appear an then shoot across the sky. And another would follow it. About 10 of them for two minutes.

I witnessed several flashing white orbs moving high in the sky. The light would repeatedly go off then on. There were several in a group sitting still around each other, no noise. They would then move at very high speeds then sit still again

Collinsville, IL
While on a walk with a friend of mine I was looking up at the stars and noticed one move slightly downwards and then return to its position. I stopped dead in my tracks and had my friend verify what I was seeing. Upon further inspection, we swa multiple lights in that region change from red, blue, and green for a brief moment. There was also a moment where what appeared to be a purplish distortion that resembled a nebula around one of the lights. They seemed to shoot around at incredible speed but always returned to their original position. Obviously startled we looked online to see if anyone was seeing what we saw and all I could find were reports of Starlink sattelites but I am slow to accept this as an answer because of the randomness of the movements observed. I plan on trying to find a telescope to observe better.

San Antonio, TX
Going to bed for night, looked out window that looks over downtown San Antonio. My fiancé said that light in sky doesn’t look like a plane. It was flashing, but different than an airplane. I didn’t believe him and we watched it for a couple minutes. Then the craft started to slow down. What really got me was when it stopped, then flew vertically straight up! The light of the craft would turn off and on. At this point I pulled out my phone camera, which only caught the craft’s lights turning off and on. I wish I would of had it earlier when it flew vertical. The craft then flew down towards the city very fast! The light turned red and it was flying back and forth over downtown. At one point, it looked like there was a blue-ish light coming down from the craft. The fact that my fiancé, who is a logical man, got scared really made me nervous! I’m willing to send the video I have in also. It’s only the light flashing on once then turning off and bad quality though. You can’t make out the shape of the craft at all. I’ve never seen anything like this and I’m in shock.

The objects flew silently and were descending from the night sky onto the local hills in an irregular pattern. They all had an steady orange glow which disappears as they appeared to make landfall. The leading objects would disappear farther ahead of the trailing objects. They flew along the contours of the rugged hills. Distance from both witnesses about one mile . These did not have blinking white, red, green flashing lights as seen on normal appearing aircraft.
