I was driving on Cordon Rd, from Ward Dr to State St when I saw it. It was going perpendicular of my driving. It was just below the clouds and was a light green color. The even lasted a little less than 2 minutes, as it was moving along the underneath of clouds and eventually disappeared.

Albuquerque, NM
I am an educated person who has obtained an Associate and Bachelor degrees of Science in fields where observation is important. Like anyone I look up at the beautiful sky at night to see the Moon and Venus this time of year. They are located in the western sky, the land down below is a flat plateau of lava flow remains from days past, from Albuquerque. To the East, the Sandia Mountains which from view consists of rocky granite boulders to scattered pine and juniper forests and rises approximately 1 mile high above Albuquerque. To the East is where I am drawn at 830pm, finishing up some yard work, and the wind has calmed with sunset. Between the houses, at a distance seems it is above the mountain I think, there is a Steady Red Light with a slight strobe effect to it. I thought I saw a white light strobe behind the red light and then it is solid red again. Let me give my location if you looked at a map of Albuquerque. I am between Paseo Del Note and Academy St. and Ventura Blvd is one block to my east. Well, it is probably the helicopter, I think, it is always flying around at night and making rounds. No, wait, its a plane coming in from he East to fly over the mountain and it will move south. Well, now I am interested, it appears now to be standing still and there is no sound all. Now it is dark out, and it appears to me that it is way over the mountain at a great distance. I keep a steady stare at the object, now it slowly appears to be am object that is hovering above the mountain. Only a slight, vibration made it appear to wobble maybe due to wind that is how I knew it was hovering. I an see the top of the mountain and sky and then the Red Light. One minute goes by and object slowly rises like a balloon a short distance up and stops. It seems like it is observing something on the ground, which the houses completely cut off the lower half of the mountain view from my vantage point.Staring and curious, it rises very slowly a short distance again and stops. What the heck is that? No one around to see with me! Ok, I will see what it does and that was 20 seconds of time. 1 minute 30 seconds, the Red Light, starts to descend down, I am going to lose it behind the mountain it seems, it gets to the top and lowers and the Red Light is still there! It is in front of the mountain, not behind. Much closer than I thought it was, but that is the foot hills. There are houses and desert out there. Are they making contact with someone? And in that part of the foothills there are no street lights just houses out there. I can see the Red Light lowering straight down steadily. Dark mountain behind makes it clear to see. No back and forth or pausing, just down. It goes down and I lose sight of it because of the houses. Now that is all fine and sounds really interesting right? I am not done. Ok, I have to get higher, how? The place I am working has an above ground pool with a 10 foot scaffolding deck to jump into the pool, I run to the ladder about 6 feet from my location and climb, swing door in and move to the location I had seen it lower but now I am higher about 10 feet. I move back and forth looking to see if I can get sight of it. Then I did. I see the light, but it is white! Iit has moved to my left as if it traveled a shirt distance, the light is moving up, the light goes out! Staring the light turns green, rising then it completely goes out as it was rising. After that either is was in a spectrum now that was invisible to my sight or it moved out fast, but it was cloaked from then on. I urgently tried to gain sight of it and it was getting late out, dark and the lower half of the mountain was not visible to me due to houses. That was disappointing. The whole sighting was very quick. Took at the max about 3 minutes. I decided to come and see if anyone else had made a report about it or saw something. I have seen the helicopter and what is important is that you hear it before you see it. It is loud. There was no sound. At my distance, and the canyon of the mountain behind it should of made an echo or sound, there was none. An important note here is that the helicopter circles when observing areas and keeps moving, rarely to stop and hover, wind may be a factor here. The lights and the way they changed were not of the normal craft seen in our skies in NM. Never have a seen a Green light on the helicopter. Once again, sequence was red light then slight white strobe behind and then solid red, lowers moves to the north at low altitude went from invisible to white while rising and invisible to green still rising and then gone. I just want to add that when I first saw the red light, I caught a slight glimpse of white dots to the north of the red light as if they were in relation to each other. But that was a 2 second glimpse and then it was only the red light. I omitted it from the factual observtion because I doubted what I saw. Thank you. Thank you for your time.

Tulsa, OK
On 4/28/20 at 8:27 pm I was taking pictures of the sky after a thunderstorm. I caught an airplane on approach to Tulsa International Airport. The craft appeared out of nowhere from a cloud bank. It made several abrupt movements. As the airplane got closer the craft rose to a different position and vanished in a blink of an eye.

Palmer Lake, CO
While at the park doing some sky watching there was a line of craft perfectly spaced traveling across the sky. They seemed to be traveling in a large group. They were symmetric in shape. They appeared to be very high up, defiantly higher than any combustion aircraft can fly. No noise was produced by these craft. Quiet and peaceful.

Baker City, OR
Northeast of Baker City, Oregon and towards the Eagle Cap mountains (Wallowa Mountains) I was looking through my 10/50 binoculars at the mountains and spotted two objects in the sky. One was long and horizontal and the second one was round. Both appeared to be stationary in a fixed position. Also the distance between them never varied. Occasionally the sun would reflect off of them. After about a half hour cloud cover obscured them. After about 5 minutes the clouds moved on and they were in the same position and the distance between them still remained constant. When I first saw them I thought maybe a weather balloon but the shape was different and their position remained constant. I have 20/20 vision and could not see them without the binoculars. Finally after about 45 minutes high thin clouds obscured them again. After the clouds moved on they had disappeared.

I was sitting outside viewing the norther sky when I noticed eight lights in the shape of the tip of an arrow ^ but facing downward. The lights were reddish orange and flew in formation like geese, suddenly the lights intertwined and separated. They seem to either have flown up and out further into space. Looked much higher than most satellites.

Granite Quarry, NC
Driving south on hwy 52 in Granite Quarry NC. 11:00am looked to the left and noticed a round shiney object 2 miles away and a few miles up.very shiney! About that time I saw this a black fuzzy BLK round object came out of it from the center top. About the time I could focus in on it. It all of a sudden it went straight up and out of sight in a second. then the silver object. Which was actually moving horizontal, did the same but not quite straight up. They went so fast they were up and through the atmosphere in a second. Intriguing, weird, and scary all at the same time. Definitely saw this clear enough to say it wasn't from here. It left me feeling almost vulnerable because of what I just saw.

We were standing on a beach by a lake and we saw the UFO object in the sky. Coming behind it from a far but near distance were 2 fighter planes. We watched it go and suddenly it disappeared but the 2 fighter planes did not. We only got a good side view of it. It was black but almost transparent and there was only 1 UFO. And it made no noise.

Ontario, OR
My Dad and I were relaxing on the front lawn by our house watching the stars and chatting. I saw three satellites come up over the trees from the Northwest, heading East. They were bright white lights like typical satellites, but they were extremely bright (I estimate an apparent magnitude of -3.5). I pointed out to my dad that there was a Starlink train coming up over the trees but it stopped at three satellites. A few seconds after they had all cleared the trees, the third satellite in the line suddenly vanished. The other two continued on for another five seconds before the second satellite accelerated very quickly to the South. Assuming this was in LEO, they may have been traveling at four or five miles per second. Based on this I estimate the satellite accelerated to upwards of eight miles per second in less than three seconds. The satellite then accelerated to nearly twice its original speed as it's still curving towards the south. Once it had finished accelerating towards the East, the satellite immediately began curving back North, stopping its Southward movement and accelerating to the same speed in the opposite direction in only a few seconds. Once it was perfectly in line with the other satellite it ceased all movement on the North/South axis immediately as if it had hit an invisible wall. It continued to gain distance between it and the other satellite before it vanished. The remaining satellite continued on as normal.

While looking at the stars we noticed a single file of lights in the sky. They were spaced evenly, made no sound and moved at a steady pace. We tried to video tape but it would not show we counted 20 lights moving from SW to NE

Several craft was shooting into the air and it lasted about 5 mins. At first it looked like a chain of lights but after they got so high they just disappeared. But as they would vanish new ones would appear as if launching.. No noise.was not normal.

Selinsgrove, PA
A large bright blue spherical light was seen over the Susquehanna River, Selinsgrove, PA, (USA) at 7:20 AM on Tuesday, April 28. 2020. Out for a morning walk, we stopped at the boat launch at the Isle of Que in Selinsgrove, looked up, and saw the blue light over the water coming from the direction of the Shamokin Dam power plant. If one looks to the left of the object, they will see the steam stacks from the power plant. I quickly took the picture on an iPhone 7. The camera mode was set to "live" on the phone. The image on my phone is moving from the water to the mountain quickly. I am only able to transfer the still image. I was able to magnify the light, as seen in the second picture that was sent to ufocntr@nwlink.com

I stepped outside late Tuesday night to admire the extra clear covid-19 lockdown skies. I found it odd that the south sky had more bright stars than normal. I traced the curve of the big dipper's handle with my eyes arcing down to Arcturus followed by a brighter white 'star' and then finally to Spica. The center 'star' was just about halfway between the other two. I watched the bright 'star' for about 5 seconds. I could see no evidence of motion. Being a little rusty on the night sky and beginning to doubt I was looking in the right area, I decided to check myself. I again found the big dipper and followed the curve of the handle to Arcturus. Now the middle star was gone. I fixed on the area trying to find it. Soon it returned in the same place. As I watched, it dimmed and disappeared for a few seconds then again brightened into view having the same brightness as before. I failed to find any flashing lights that would belong to an aircraft or notice any slight change in position. The trees were low and I had nothing close enough for reference on movement. As I moved to get a tree top closer to my line of sight it again faded to nothing. I stopped and watched carefully looking for flashing lights or for it to reappear. I kept my eyes on the south sky for several minutes searching for any light that might be aircraft or satellite, but nothing. The few times it dimmed or brightened it did so over about 1 second and then held that brightness or lack of. I know this is rather weak as sightings go and it was quite likely a satellite. However it did seem unusual when it failed to leave the spot where I originally saw it (as best I could tell), and apparently reflected sunlight to me even though it was on the dark side of the Earth (if it was a satellite). If I didn't mention something it didn't happen (like lost time).

Walked out side looking up at the night sky and thought to myself, wow there’s a lot of stars tonight. Well then I realized that one of the stars was moving then shoot up till it disappeared. Then noticed another so the same. Then notice one over the house, not right over up in the sky but oddly moved and the up till it faded. Then noticed about 5 in a row coming from the East then all did the same. Had my wife and daughter come out to see.
