South Williamsport, PA
This was a very bright orange wegde shaped triangle seen at night, flying silently. There were no flashes, like on an airplane, the entire craft was a glowing fire-colored orange. It didn't make any noise as it flew probably 1000 feet above the ground. We watched until the trees blocked our view. It flew in a steady, straight path.

Sparks, NV
Approximately 21:30 began to see 2 circular lights over the East side of the Spanish Springs area. B oth objects were moving very quickly. One object disappeared after a few seconds. The object following turned immediately back to a northwest heading. Several minutes later a formation of lights began to appear from the South West area over Lemon Valley. The lights appeared to be entering the area from a very high altitude and continued in a formation heading North East. We counted 12 lights in a line formation much closer together than commercial aircraft would fly and a much higher altitude. The lights would occasionally zig and zag along the same direction. Other lights would occasionally light up very bright like a camera flash. All the lights disappeared over the North towards Pyramid Lake area. We were listen to Live ATC for Reno Tower and NorCal control, there was no, zero nada radio chatter at for any military flights passing through National airspace! control.

Oswego, IL
It was 9:25 pm when I was hanging out in my garage working on my cars. when I was going to go to the bathroom outside and I saw the Large orange ball on the horizon. I started recording video on my phone right away not knowing what I was seeing. it was a large orange ball that seemed like it was on fire but was very bright orange/yellow and was changing colors from orange to yellow. this event lasted around 2 min. I have seen meteors before in my life and this I could not explain. I will send the video to your location along with maps and GPS coordinates where the UFO came from.

Orcutt, CA
We witnessed a procession of 12-14 bright white orbs traveling from South to North in the Western sky. Each orb followed the last at the same distance, speed, and trajectory until disappearing from sight. The objects had no blinking lights and made no audible sound, moving in a linear path across the sky. Female witness background: law Male witness background: Journeyman electrician Location: backyard,15 miles inland from Pacific Ocean, looking West. Orbs moved from South to North.

Around 21:09 my dad called my name to come outside and look at the lights across the sky and when I asked what specifically to look for he pointed out the blinking lights. He proceeded to tell me he saw 3 lined up going North. He then went inside while I stayed out and saw 1 flying across to the 2 which then proceeded to form a triangle. The Big Dipper is above my house and I continued to see more lights blinking from red to teal to white. I saw more lights forming triangles and lines across the sky. At the time of writing this 22:15 6 have vanished the others however are still visible. I only saw 1 plane flying and I could tell because it was lower than the others and only flashing red and white while the others flashed to the colors previously mentioned and periodically stopped in the sky.

Deming, NM
I was looking straight up in the sky about 9 pm when I saw a very distant faint light similar to a faint star moving NW. As I was watching, I noticed another appear on the same path but very far apart (with both arms extended up pointing with index fingers about 18 inches apart). All total, I counted 15 aircraft flying in single file with no audible noise that I could detect. I tried to take video with cell phone but nothing appears.

Naperville, IL
My daughter and I were star gazing and hoping to catch a meteor. Thirty minutes past sundown, my daughter catches a glimpse of what looks to be a possible meteor. We noticed five other lights hovering between the moon and Earth almost surrounding the moon and dancing around it like electrons around an atom. We were excited and amazed then scared. They continued to make strange flight patterns moving diagonally like the path electrons take. Suddenly, a very bright, white cloud started to cover the moon and part of the sky blocking our vision of a continued dance or flight pattern. The clouds continued to roll in and we no longer saw the lights. Only the moon on one side, Sirius on the other, and the Big Dipper.

35 degrees above due north horizon a circle of bright white light. The light seemed to hover for 4 seconds than in a sharp arc the light moved up and west for 2 seconds and vanished. About 5 minutes at the same location what appeared to be a large translucent object vanished with a flash of light shaped like a bar (3 seconds total). Clear twilight, moon was 1/2 full and almost due south, Venus was visible about 10 minutes later in the due west.

Lewiston, ME
On Saturday, May 2, 2020 between 5 and 5:15PM in Lewiston, ME I saw 3 white dots moving around in the sky, right below a very visible moon. It was 60 degrees and sunny out but the moon was visible and I just happened to be admiring it when I saw the 3 dots. I watched them for about 10 seconds before calling my house mates, who were also outside, to see what I was seeing. The 3 white dots were moving in close proximity to each other, horizontally and diagonally. They didn’t cross each other’s paths but moved closer and farther away from each other intermittently. Three of these UFOs were visible simultaneously at first, then we only saw 2 at a time for the remainder of the encounter. They faded in and out of visibility, sometimes with none of them visible at all for brief moments. They reappeared in different positions in the sky compared to when they went out of focus. We got a little freaked out because their position in the sky descended as time went on. We watched this for about five minutes. The whole time, there was a very long, patchy cloud visible under the moon in an otherwise blue sky. Once this cloud disappeared, so did the multiple, moving white dots. We continued looking at the sky for more activity but didn’t witness anything else after the cloud dissipated. We didn’t collect any video footage even though we discussed trying but, none of us wanted to reach for our phones on the table a few yards away and miss anything. We also doubted if we could capture it. It’s all we’ve been able to talk about and everyone we’ve shared it with has told us it was just “Starlink.” No! No it wasn’t!

I was sitting on my porch and seen an airplane that had 3 triangle in shape, much smaller than the airplane flying as if in a format along with the plane. I did get a picture but they went into some clouds and you cannot see them clearly. You can although see the 3 images around the plane.

It was 9:03 PM and I was looking up and I saw what looked like a satellite going by and then I saw another one behind it another one and another one and there was approximately 20 or so satellites they looked like stars moving fairly quickly probably 20,000 feet or so 25,000 feet one riight after the other probably a half a mile apart from each other heading in a northeasterly direction at a pretty high rate of speed.and exactly the same speed I ran near the back door of the house and called my wife and she came out and saw 6-7 of them I thought it was rather strange because if the were aircraft, you could hear the jet engines as they went by, Saw several other satellites objects moving in different directions at different altitudes?

Looked towards the west to see the bright stars and saw movement going south west by stars. Orangeish color about altitude of jet liners. Then saw another following. At equal distance there were al least five more in a single file. Holding my arm out, they were a hand spread apart from each other. Went to my room to get my phone to try to video it. Did not come out well. Path from Tulare to Bakersfield.

Storm Lake, IA
I was asleep in my bed around 1:00am. I had a dream regarding aliens. The more it went, the more real it became. I found myself “awake” around 3:30am. It was an odd state, something I’ve never experienced before. When I entered the “awake” state, it started with me in a room with “objects” around me. Then I remember being in my bed next. Again, it was a weird state I had not been in before. It didn’t feel like a dream, it felt like I was asleep but I wasn’t. When I regained memory in the bed, I remember an “object” at my bedroom door looking at me. It was not sleep paralysis. As I saw it I became increasingly frightened. I remember reaching for my bed side lamp and it would not turn on. Neither would my phone flashlight. It was almost like light wasn’t permitted because of the presence of this “object.” Next thing I remember, I was fully conscious in my bed and it was 6:00am.

My husband and I smoke outside on our balcony. Recently we have been observing what looks like flying stars in the sky above our home. We usually witness several of these every few nights while smoking. This morning we got up together and went to have a cigarette and we counted over 21 of these flying stars. They move faster than regular air craft, change speeds and change trajectory independent from one another. There are no noises coming from these craft. According to

Greensburg, IN
I was beginning to rest for the night after a sleepless day, when what I thought was just a star, started moving. I began gazing, and it begun to come closer, where I could make out a disc with 3 semi-circles on the edges. It frightened me, and I stumbled for my phone, yet, it was on my desk, and I was on the far end of my bed. I told my mother, which she ridiculed me, and there seems to he still eat another star in a similar position, which seems to change colors, and occasionally disappear from sight, tonight, May 2nd-3rd, I’m ready to capture it, if I see it, of course.

I was looking out my window late at night and I was staring into the sky and there was a tree in front of me but then I noticed a red circle moving around the sky in a figure 8 like pattern and the it disappeared after a few seconds. While it was moving around it was changing colors in between red and blue and maybe green I think.

Saluda, NC
At 11:45 pm a flashing object was noticed north from Saluda, NC. The object was flashing green, blue, red, orange and white in a seemingly random pattern. The object would erratically move from East to West, performing sudden sweeping and circular movements. The object continued to perform these types of maneuvers for roughly two hours, moving north toward the Pisgah Forest. Upon the time of sighting,no known satellites were visible nor was the ISS.

I don’t know anything about unidentified flying objects, air travel, flight, and very very little astronomy- so please bare with me. I called earlier today and it was explained to me that I could have been experiencing a trick of the eyes or other phenomena as the object observed hovered in the sky for around two hours, and there would have been plenty of phone calls in that time about the object. I don’t know what to tell you. I’m not sure if it was high enough in the sky for a large enough group of people to see it, but I could be wrong. It was too high to make a phone photo or video worth much of anything. With so much going on in the sky last night because of the asteroid shower, I don’t know how others weren’t looking and didn’t notice and call in. I’m a prided skeptic. I don’t consider myself a “UFO person.” I have no history of mental illness or reoccurring hallucinations of any kind. However, last night was such a weird experience for me I searched out this forum thi! s morning and write this post. Last night around 11:10-11:30 PM my girlfriend and I interrupted a film we were watching to go outside and watch the asteroid shower. We were watching the asteroids for a while and looking up at the stars, when I noticed what looked like a star or a satellite that was moving what seemed like far off in the distance. We walked into the back yard, to get a better view over the house and because it was darker there. We both noticed it was moving a visible amount but it an elliptical, circular or linear fashion. Other stars in the sky behind it were stationary. On the phone I wanted to say “I *know* I saw it move!” but I knew you’ve probably heard that before. The only thing I can say is that it moved in the sky enough to travel over the tree line from our point of observation to back behind the same tree line again. It would stay perfectly still for a moment, and then it would move sporadically up and down, and then side to side before skidding over to another section of the sk! y. Over the course of an hour and a half, it made its way across the horizon- but not like a star or asteroid or satellite would. It would wobble, shoot forward, rotate slightly, and then remained fixed for a certain point- usually for a few minutes at a time. At a few points I was convinced it was a drone, but the movements were not similar to a drone‘s at all, and it wouldn’t have been able to fly for that long. Plus, it was so high in the air, it would have been closer to a helicopter in size. There was uneven light coming off it, and it reflected on the clouds. It looked almost as bright as Venus at a few points, but you could tell that it was reflecting more on the clouds around it than the surrounding stars or planets were- like it was closer to them. At first, we thought it was a star, and then we thought it was a drone or some other hovering craft because it kept moving back and forth in the air a very noticeable amount. At one point I thought it was an asteroid because of how much fluctuation there was coming from the light source in the sky, and how quickly the shape of the light was changing. I misspoke on the phone, it was East of my location, at 86 degrees exactly- I downloaded an app on my IPad to take note of that specifically. Within the first two minutes of observation, it moved a great deal and sparked in light intensity, and reacted to what looked like another light in the sky. They moved in a semi circle fashion in relation to each other, and then! one split away. It looked like an asteroid. They were just far away enough where any iPad footage I took would have been meaningless with the wobble from my arms. One departed out of my frame of view, traveling North-Northwest within the first five minutes of me noticing then phenomena. When I used a pair of binoculars, I discovered much the same- even with bracing myself, it was very difficult to see what the form actually was. It was moving, but I couldn’t get enough of a view to see what it was. At one point I could have sworn I saw an orange light shoot up into it, but I couldn’t be positive because it reminded me of an asteroid, and was very far away. It then remained stationary for a long while. I returned several times throughout the night alone, and each time the object was still there-however at a different spot in the sky. It would always move at some point though- and after a few minutes. Both my girlfriend and I confirmed movement in the same direction and the same time. She went inside much earlier than I did, and did not return outside. At first, the object looked like it had a trail, then it looked like it was surrounded in an aura of white light, then it looked like there were beams of light coming down from it three different directions. I know you guys probably get a lot of far out stories and dramatizations, but this really happened and is going to stay with me. At one point, it settled in the sky and seemed to rotate and descend a little bit beneath the clouds- and when it did, I got a clear view of a stream of curved light emitting from the edge of the illuminated point, and for a moment against the sky I saw a dark gray saucer. It rotated, and I saw a ring of red lights underneath it. I covered my mouth with my hand and started shaking. I had to go inside after and lay down this was around 12:15. I went to sleep around 1 AM. I checked if I could see it from my bedroom window before going to sleep at around 12:30-45 but I could not.
