Past several weeks , looks as though this roundish distorting bright light is hanging out above my neighborhood. Usually it’s bright bright while but have seen it turn a reddish color also.

My husband leaves for work at about 5 AM. This morning I was up when he left. I went outside with my dog. I usually stand on the back porch and she goes down the steps to do her thing. When I’m standing there waiting for her, I always look up at the stars and say a prayer or intent, etc. This morning I looked up and said “Thank you for springtime”... Just then I noticed a pinpoint of light moving from about North West to South East and assumed it was a satellite, because it was so small and so high up. I watched it go across the sky and when it was about half way across my field, it turned into an enormous light. It lasted for about 3 seconds. To me the light was about the size of a quarter or half dollar. It had an orange color to it with some white also. It was well defined but fuzzy, something that’s hard to explain. It looked almost as if there was a cold mist between myself and the light. Then it went away and the pinpoint of light continued in the direction it was going. I looked at my watch and it was 5:26 AM. (I don’t remember the exact time that my husband left) I watch a lot of satellites and the space station at night. We also have a lot of airliners landing. This is something I’ve never seen before. Usually when a plane lands the landing light is very bright and clear and hits our house for a few seconds. But landing lights I’ve observed were always pointed to the front of the airplane. The light I saw this morning was directly below, on the bottom of the object. I am not aware of any airplane that has a light on the bottom that shines directly down. (There *could* be such a plane but I’m not aware of it) Later I sat on my back porch my morning coffee I heard a helicopter go over in the same direction but I don’t know if it was related. I looked at my watch and it was 6AM. I think there was a space station flyover this morning and it would have been from my northwest to my north east? (So not the same path)

I went out to sit in the hot tub at about. 5:00 am. I finally looked up and saw this parade of lights at high altitude going from NW to SE. They were traveling far enough where I could see 3 at a time. When the first one would fade away I looked for another. And there was. I don't know if I saw the beginning or not but I got up to 10 and could see no more. Evenly spaced out, Straight line. No variation from one to the next. It seamed like they were spaced out 35 seconds. But whatever it was, it was consistent from one to the next.

I was looking out of one of my big bedroom windows, and I looked up at the dark blue sky... In the sky I witnessed 30 or more flying circles, every circle was flashing orange, white, and yellow. Every single one... I looked to the East of the lower sky in the middle of my tall trees, to see a giant flash r the same 3 colors lasting 2 or 3 seconds... I know exactly what this is...

About 4:15 in the morning on May 1rst I was outside with my dog and saw what looked like two identical satellites that were about as bright as a 1rst magnitude star moving out of the WNW sky . They both were moving one behind the other in straight line about 10 degrees apart and continued crossing the sky maintaining the same distance apart as they traveled towards the ESE . I went back in the house thinking how weird that was and about 10 minutes later when I looked out the window I saw two more lights moving in the same exact path as before . I know it's impossible for a satellite to circle the Earth in ten minutes so I ran back outside to see what was going on , only this time new satellites kept appearing one after the other all in a perfectly straight line and all equally spaced until there were six of them moving out of the WNW passing close to Arcturus coming nearly overhead then dimming out one by one in ESE sky .They each took several minutes to fly! by . There was no noise . I've an amateur astronomer for about 45 years and have never seen anything like this before . What were they ?

I went outside with my dog and was looking at the big Dipper when I noticed a bright, circular white light. It was moving across the night sky at a fast speed and in a straight line from east to west. As I continued to watch it I realized that there were two thin rods slanted from the sides of the circular object. There also seemed to be a perfect circular prism around this object and I realized that the brightness of the object seemed contained within this prism. I thought it was the International Space Station but when I checked the website it was nowhere near here. I am certain that what I saw was not a plane, jet or helicopter. I have always lived near airports or military bases so I know what planes and jets look like. I am not sure if this was a UFO but it is definitely unlike anything I have experienced before.

I seen a reddish streak moving from west to east lasting a few seconds. I thought it was cool that I seen a shooting star. However a couple of seconds later I seen the same reddish steak traveling east to west originating from the same general location as the first streak disappeared.

Early Friday morning, May 1, 2020 I happened to glance out the window early morning only to notice a sphere-like object hovering in the sky. At first I thought I was exaggerating but I could not stop watching it. Immediately I felt the need to start recording this object. My husband was laughing at me until he walked over and watched through the window with me. He became intrigued pretty fast as it was truly interesting. This object stayed there for at least the next 3 hours. As I had to get ready and get to work, I couldn’t continue to watch and daylight was coming. I tried my best to get the best images/ videos possible and in one part of the video- (about 1:35 into the video at the bottom towards the right) there seems to be some white object shooting up towards the light, extremely fast. I only noticed it after watching the video for the 3rd time. I don’t know if this object has any significance or not but it’s definitely noticeable once it catches your eye!

I see them more frequently now than ever as a avid night sky watcher . I know what birds migrating at night look like, I know what a plane with it’s landing lights looks like, I know what a meteor or a falling star looks like, & this sighting was 100% genuinely two craft coming down silently into our atmosphere or one large chevron craft with only two of its white spherical lights on underneath. They both moved diagonal down left across a clear starry night sky without a sound. Almost as if two stars decided to change their position in a still star lit night sky. . While watching the 2min duration of them descending the lead craft and or first light fizzled in & out then went dark. The second object or light followed same course then fizzled out when it arrived at same point as first. Truly remarkable. I had seen a orange spherical object three days prior to this incident so wasn’t shocked that they came back around for a second visit. I have really good video of a daytime sighting as well.

For your information; Fast moving circular clouds (caused by moist air being compressed by very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic radio waves emitted from land based naval radio stations to submarines at sea) are sometimes mistaken as UFOs.

It was an odd time for the songbirds to be singing. The dogs and coyotes joined in on the chorus with their barking and howling. I stood out in my backyard and gazed up at the stars. For a good 20 minutes, I watched the beautiful night sky and absorbed the sounds of nature around me . And that is when it happened. What appeared to be a short distance from me in my pasture, a beautiful spherical light that was amber in color arose into the night. I would equate it to a small sun silently rising up and moving westward. It was so close, maybe a few hundred feet in elevation. The brilliant light dissipated into the night sky the further it moved away from me. I wasn’t afraid. I was in absolute awe of its beauty. I calmly came inside to fetch my niece, hoping she might witness such a serene event. As we walked out into the yard, I pointed in the vicinity of where it had faded away. Just a mere minutes of telling her, the same beautiful amber sphere lit up again (as if to acknowledge us acknowledging it). Had it been cloaked? Whatever it was, it was beautiful. I’m glad we both got to witness it.

My mother and I seen lights like on a plane, but they weren’t blinking as a normal plane would. I didn’t see the shape but it was right above the tree lines going slow.

I was up late and playing GTA V and scrolling facebook at the same time. While scrolling I saw a post saying, "did you see that in the sky just now?" So I went outside and I looked each way I could but didn't see anything. I moved to the road to get a clearer view and I noticed the stars, and I noticed the North Star, so I turn and I noticed other bright lights. It was 3 lights in a line, the were moving very slow and then they sped up and vanished. I didn't think much of it and my partner and I went to sleep not long after. The next morning I woke up and went about my normal day but then I scrolled through facebook again and noticed other people talking about it on live videos and posts . I started looking online to see if there were any real reports and there were none but this website popped up so I decided to contribute what just happened. I am in St. Petersburg Florida and this was around 11:49pm to 12:30 somewhere in there.

After a second I realized that the light hadn’t moved at all because it was actually a star and what was moving were the two dimmer lights tracking in a southeast direction at airliner speed. I’ve been hearing about the Space X star link satellites and looked for other lights moving in conjunction with these two lights but only saw the two lights moving across the sky. The two lights were spaced at approximately 15 degrees apart and continued in an east/southeast direction for about 15-20 seconds until I lost sight of them due to the trees. I did not hear any sounds of an engine nor did I see any red flashing lights to indicate these objects might have been some type of known aircraft. I also did not see any pulsating from the lights on the objects while I observed their flight. The lights were far enough away that I wasn’t able to distinguish the shape of the objects. Observer background: Male in late 20’s who has attended 2 UFO Summits at Ocean Shores WA. Heard Peter Davenport speak in March 2020 at Summit. Frequent listener to Coast to Coast AM. Have made one previous report to MUFON in 2019 for light sighting in the eastern sky over back yard.

Around 9:30 pm on 4/30/20 we observed a formation of moving objects flying overhead from North to South. It was a clear night. Each object had a white light and appeared to fly in a straight line. Estimate they were 1-3 miles high. Steady movement across the sky until out of sight. No blinking lights. No sounds. Event lasted about 3 minutes.

My wife and I witnessed these reddish white lights traveling in a straight line. I am a master machinist and my wife does advertising for an internet company. We are in our early 30s. I was walking out to my truck to get something and the moon caught my attention. So I was just looking at the moon pondering how crazy it is that it's even there, and I notice that the stars are moving in a straight line. They looked like distant stars that were moving from my right to left. I looked at the other stars and they weren't moving. It took me a second to realize that they were even moving, then I realized that there were more to the right. They were moving in a straight line. It's hard to tell how far away they were. They wereoving very smoothly. It was very odd at the least. They made no sound. That's when I yelled for my wife to come look and make sure she could see it also. They just kept coming in that straight line, very fast but not fast I know it sounds weird! but there were prolly 15 to 20 I would say. It gives me the chills. Never seen anything like it. Definitely not planes or helicopters or drones. I am still asking her every couple of hours what do you make of what we saw last night and she says I have no idea honey. So I googled to see 9f anything or anyone had witnessed it also last night or for similar sightings by people in the past to get an explanation and it led me to this website.

On April 30, 2020 at approximately 22:00 I was looking up while sitting on my deck. What appeared as two of the brighter stars near each other, about the width of your first two fingers making a peace sign held to the sky, as I did to measure, were moving in a southeast direction. Seeing them move was surprising. At about the rate of 5 seconds from my first to second finger. But, after that I saw more stars, there were no colors or blinking and the sky was clear. They came at the same spacing and continued. I counted 25 when I saw two side by side. After these, the single line continued and there came another 25 and again one pair side by side. A minute after these ended, I saw a larger rectangle object, which looked like the space station. I had seen the space station before and this looked and moved like it, from west to east. But, I looked up the spot the station site and it wasn't supposed to be visible here until 04:00. I read about the satellites in your site, but 50?

My wife was taking the garbage down around 9:20 p.m., she ran back to tell me to come outside quickly. Up in the sky moving West to East was a straight line of what appeared to be air craft of some sort. Each craft had only one single bright white with the exception of two that I saw. Those two craft had 2 lights on them in a straight line from West to East in the direction of the flight path. The last two craft were side by side bringing up the rear and they all disappeared shortly after passing overhead at or near 10 o’clock in the sky. There was no sound and no flashing indicator lights like you would see on commercial aircraft. The speed seemed to be much much faster then that of a commercial air line also. The parade of light were spaced equally in a straight line and lasted for almost 5 minutes with what we guess was 30-50 air craft. In the final few minutes our neighbor came out and witnessed the objects as well. We did try to capture a photo but they! did not come out.

Sighting occurred during my nightly dog walk. Casually gazing at the sky, appreciating the clear night. I happened to see a line of what appeared to be stars, but the formation did not make sense. I kept watching and realized they were traveling west to east across the sky. There were (6) of them, and one by one they magically disappeared at the same spot in the sky. Almost as if a portal of some kind opened up and they went right through.

Redmond, WA
Last night (April 30) my wife and I observed a peculiar occurrence in the sky. We live a few miles east of Redmond WA. We decided to spend some time in our hot tub, and about 9:20 PM my wife went in first. When I joined her about 5 minutes later, she said she was seeing something strange in the sky, namely a series of moving lights. These were points of light about the brightness of a 3- or 4-magnitude star, moving one after another in a straight line from northwest to southeast, evenly spaced, moving at the same speed, and apparently quite high up. From our position the line or track initially led directly toward the star Arcturus, but slowly shifted westward a few degrees. From our deck we could see the track for about a quarter of the sky, from the eave of our house directly overhead to some trees on the edge of our property. An individual light took 30 or 40 seconds to traverse this interval, and a new one would appear before the previous one had disappeared. My wife said she had already seen perhaps a dozen when I came out, and together we witnessed maybe 20 or 30 more. After about 15 minutes, clouds moved in, lit by the quarter moon high in the west, and obscured our vision. We frequently see aircraft while in the hot tub, most commonly flying east to west, at no great height, and showing some typical combination of white, red and green lights. But the lights we saw last night were nothing like this. (In fact, we only saw one other aircraft during this interval, flying up from the south at moderate altitude and passing to the southeast. Even it was a bit atypical, having only two bright yellowish-white lights like car headlights.) My first thought was that we were seeing some military transport, but the sheer number of lights seemingly makes this explanation unlikely. In summary, I have been watching the sky my whole life, and have never witnessed anything like this event. My wife was a bit unnerved. Any insight you can ! provide would be most appreciated.
