Flying in a straight line evenly spaced. Move south East direction about 15 to 20 objects. Could not tell shape looked like a star. For approximately 20 mins. Second group of the same objects moving south for approximately 10-15 minutes. The last object in the second line appeared to break off and head north until out of sight .the two lines of objects appeared to reach a spot in the sky and disappear.

At approximately 9:58PM on May 1, 2020, I went outside to let my dog out. I immediately noticed something bright and stationary in the sky. It was just hovering. There was no noise and it appeared to be spinning. I pulled out my cellphone to record it. My son who was sitting in his car outside the house asked what I was doing. He then got out of the car and began recording as well. The object appeared to be spinning but it was hard to get a detailed video. As my son continued to record, I ran in the house to grab a camera. I began shooting video with the camera as well. The object appeared to be circular and had something spinning around it almost like energy. The object appeared to quickly zigzag. As I scanned the sky I noticed there were more of these objects... not as big as the first object I observed. Maybe two or three more. As I tried to get a better shot, they were gone. The whole experience lasted about 8 minutes.

Carolina Beach, NC
Was with an off duty firefighter who got a call that there was a possible boat fire 11-17 miles off shore. We ran to the beach and saw nothing. Waited about 5 minutes and 3-4 super bright orange orbs appeared over Carolina Beach NC. They disappeared, waited and about ten minutes after 4 more appeared and made a diamond formation. After 20 minutes after the lorbs went away , military helicopters flew over my house heading to the sea. I have some great video of it.

As it went over head, we listened for airplane sound and never heard any, even after it had completely disappeared to our NW. As it went over, it was clear that it was higher in the sky than we first thought – maybe 10,000’ or more. We get Seattle air traffic here regularly, and they are at 30,000’ as they go over and we can easily hear them. After it passed, it grew dimmer, much faster than when it was coming at us. It was very bright the whole time it was coming at us, but as it passed, it was darker like it was the back of whatever was causing the light. We speculated that it might have been a satellite burning up, but I don’t think they travel SE-NW. We also thought it might be a meteor burning (which would explain the glow around it) but it never appeared to have a tail or burning debris falling off. Amazingly, it appeared to be traveling in a very straight line. It disappeared over the mountains to our NW, somewhat south of Wenatchee. The whole duration of the event was probably only about a minute. Our time of the event will be pretty accurate, because I immediately went into the house and called my brother. The phone recorded my call time. I am a retired Army officer and a retired school counselor, and my friend is still working with irrigation water equipment. To us, it was a UFO – unidentified flying object – because we couldn’t identify it. We are sure it wasn’t a plane – jet or prop – or a local drone, because we never heard a sound out of it. Our best guess is a meteor, but it certainly wasn’t like any other we had seen.

I was looking at the sky towards the east and I saw a white light traveling north east. Initially I thought it was a satellite until I noticed there was another one following behind. A couple of minutes later, and saw two more in the same formation heading in the same direction. I went in the house and told my husband, he came to look but they were too far away at that point. I went back to my phone call but keep watching the sky. A few minutes later there were three lights traveling together in the same direction, I yelled through the door to my husband and sat back down. One of the lights broke off from the other two and headed north west. My husband sat down with me at this point, and we noticed more lights appearing to come out of the clouds one by one, and head north east with the occasional one headed north west. I lost count at 15, but I would say there were up to 20 lights that did this. We watched as the majority of them went out of sight, but there were 3 to 4 that stayed in the general area. We continued to watch them for a while. They were moving slowly, but kind of spontaneously. I then noticed a cluster between 5-8 of very dim, flashing lights in the same area that appeared to be dancing around but all traveling in the same general direction (west-south west.)

I noticed a light in the sky directly overhead that had all the characteristics of a satellite traveling approx. SW to NE. I have observed satellites in the past and at first I thought that this object was also a satellite. Then I noticed another one traveling in what appeared to be the same flight path approx. 10 seconds after the first. As I watched, a total of 9 objects tracked across the sky along the same path and approx. 10 seconds apart. Because they were traveling across the sky in a type of convoy (for lack of a better term), I could see as many as 4 at one time. Since I knew that the sun had set an hour or so earlier, I assumed that what I was seeing was sunlight reflecting off of them. This seemed to be the case since as they tracked to the northeast, they faded out. There wasn't any sound or aircraft marker lights. I just thought I'd report it because I'm not aware of satellites traveling along the same path in organized groups.

What looked like 12 planes in the night sky, moved rapidly, made 90° turns, reversed, and 2 of the lights flew towards each other, then the event disappeared from the sky within appx. 2 minutes Distance probably 30,000 feet or above. Typical camera wouldn't catch it.

Have captured it on video first I was sitting in my family room looking out the back window facing east approximately couple thousand feet up noticed a orange flash coming from the east thought it was a plane on fire called the wife she looked out the window then we went out on the deck and took a video there were two of them approximately half a mile apart all the sudden they look as if they were slow or stopped because I noticed another airplane flying very quickly underneath it may be 1000 foot below a good night believe my eyes when I seen!

On the night of 5/1/2020 at 9 pm me and my wife seen on our security cams in the front of our home a beam of light that looked like a spot light. I thought it might of been something on the lens of the cam. But it then moved a bit. It lasted all night till morning i have the tape if interested. Also note the next day i went into the yard to see where it was. And it was right where a tree use to be in our yard. Once in the circle in our yard i felt confused and disoriented and then felt a pressure in my nose and felt the urge to build a totum poll with alien symbols on it.

Lights appearing seperate one after the other in a line out of nowhere in sky moving northeast as other lights that were not moving off on either side of the line of the other lights began moving and had a different color to them orange not bright white or bluish like others. They seem to be doing a military like staggered and protect formation. There were two that laid behind for a while as if to cover where the “caravan” had come from for about 5 more minutes. They moved in the sky effortlessly changing directions which is impossibly for a drone or plane. And I can say I see at this distance ... well they were moving really fast. Faster than any plane or rocket anything on this earth. My partner and I were astonished and tried to get video but my phone was a fail. I’m certain now that we are not alone. And I can’t find anybody who saw the same as we did. It wasn’t space x it wasn’t satellites it was not from here unless there’s a cover up from the public.

Sighted at high altitude over North East Los Angeles. Appeared to be a triangle or chevron craft with five white lights. The craft moved silently.

There were 9 desperate lights, not flashing or blinking moving from northwest to northeast. They were equally separated. They followed basically the same line across the sky.

Triangle shaped spotted by Frame Park. Disappeared from sight after getting almost underneath in car. Thought was a plane before realized there weren’t any lights on the front and the only outline was from the silhouette on the clouds. Blinking lights on each point of object.

On May 1, 2020 at 8:12 PM I was looking out my bedroom window and decided to take a picture of the sunset. After taking the picture I noticed a white spot in the sky and when I zoomed in on my iPhone on it it looked very strange. I ran to get my Nikon zoom camera and took additional pictures of it and the picture shows three bright white lights followed by a very bright stream of light following it. It continued on a path of 291° west and eventually disappeared into the sunset.

Up to 21 bright spherical objects one after another heading from south to north. One of the objects made a direction change leaving the group and headed west. They where separated by quite a bite. Definitely not starlink satellites.

May 1, 2020 Driving on the 10 freeway at 8:00ish PM from California to Arizona near mile marker 43 just before the Vicksburg Rd exit 45. 2 sets of 3 large orangish glowing lights in a row side by side above and just beyond the hills directly on the north side of the freeway. They weren’t high enough to be a plane and they were just sitting there not moving in any direction. I assumed they were connected to a tower to alert air traffic of the small mountain/foothill. The height was too high to be a tower but it was pitch dark and I was trying to make sense of it. As I pointed them out to my sister and cousin in the car, they turned off. Not all at once but kind of just like powered down quickly. I waited for them to come on thinking if they were on a tower, they’d be on a timer and they would reappear on and off. They didn’t. About 15 seconds after they went out, there was a tiny flash of white light in the darkness where the other lights had been. Still I was the only one who saw it. Thankfully, about 15 seconds after that, 3 of the lights came back on and stayed on for a few seconds in which my cousin was able to witness them as well before turning off again for good. Then another larger white flash of light and then nothing. We kept looking and nothing again. We watched behind us until we were too far. They were gone. So 2 days later we were driving back home to California and as we came up on that same mountain/foothill, we investigated to make sure there wasn’t a tower there. There was nothing. Just desert. Also, just west of where we saw the lights there is a foothill with towers on it, lots. But they were far behind us at the time we saw the lights and they are clearly visible whereas the foothill we saw the lights near has nothing on them or on the ground below. Just don’t want anyone to think we saw the foothill with the towers, it was definitely behind us at the time where these were directly to our left (north). Maybe someone knows what this was but I’ve made this drive multiple times a year for the past 15 years and I’ve never seen anything like that out in the darkness. I have no explanation.

5 orange lights over the ocean, they would fade away and come back about every 15 minutes.first there was 2 then 3 then 5, when they would disappear we could see the light from them over the horizon as if it were a sunrise at night, absolutely was not a boat.

There were two rectangle crafts one farther away than the other. Both moving at a slow pace and each craft had 4 semi see through lines floating around each rectangle. It almost looked like a blip on a screen. I think maybe there is a reasonable explaination? There were no lights and it looked like a shadow. Hard to explain.

Santa Cruz, CA
I was laying flat on the ground looking up. I was on Coral Street in Santa Cruz.Three rockets, all brown in color, with the shape of the new SpaceX rockets, flew from North to South across the sky in a period of two minutes. They were very clear but and seemed to be low to the ground but I heard no noise. They all left vapor trails that disappeared after twenty seconds. They all appeared the same but the color was very brown. It was strange because three came in a row, one right after the other and I've never seen a real rockets in the sky before. It was extremely odd. I've never seen these kind of rockets on tv or heard reports of rockets launching from Mountain View, Santa Clara before. I think that one rocket may have split the earth into three dimensions by launching them and that's maybe what I witnessed. I think we might be splitting the earth into multiple dimensions by traveling in height above the surface. Do we really know all the effects we are c! ausing in time and space with the act of traveling to space? I reported I saw an airplane fly into space and another thing I want to say is that I hear strange noises all the time above Santa Cruz that sound like space ships and how do we know if someone like Elon Musk is not running their own space fleet right now? Is space even monitored?

First saw 3 lights star looking in formation then breaking of in random directions then saw multiple lights flying over head. Some moving in a straight line some wavering and some changing direction in mid flight and one slightly hovering over us. All were moving South to north very fast

Was having a campfire and looked up to the stars, noticed 35+ extremely high altitude, no noise moving objects in a direct line. Coming from the NorthWest and heading SouthEast effectively. The lights all disappeared, halfway through the sky, couldn't be seen or heard at that point. Witnessed by four people.
