There were a string of evenly spaced lights totaling 40 plus as far as the eye could see travelling from 300 degrees W/NW to 120 degrees E/SE. Traveling at a high rate of speed. No sound was detected.

Walked outside and seen a straight line of about 15 lights not in a row but two or three separated by a space until there was 15 and a straight row and they were all going up into the sky and they just slowly disappeared.

Chesapeake, VA
Was out on back porch and looked up toward the east. The sky was clear and I saw about five lights, they looked exactly like stars, moving in a perfect line southbound. The lights were perfectly distanced apart (about 20 feet) and appeared extremely high. The lights were moving a bit faster than an airliner would fly at cruising altitude. After about 10 seconds, the first light disappeared and the remaining lights all disappeared in succession at the same spot the first light disappeared. The area where I live is near Fentress Airfield which is a landing practice field for the USN. I have been around military aircraft most of my life and know these lights were not known aircraft (civilian or military). There was no sound at the time.

Me, my mom, and dad witnessed 3 UFOs. We were able to capture 1 on camera. When I went to take a photo of it, It turned all of its lights off. And I’m sure it wasn’t the clouds covering it. After I turned my phone off, it’s lights turned back on again. The UFO was circular and was silver with a “black ring” within itself. On video, the ufo itself is rotating and flying at a high rate of speed

Binghamton, NY
I came home after a walk because the sun was starting to set. Went out onto my back porch and looked up into the sky and saw 4 or 5 white lights that looked like stars moving forward in a straight line all at the same pace. They were directly above my head and weren’t moving very fast although as they kept moving forward I saw more of them appear in my field of view. As they kept moving on I saw about 10 to 15 of them in total still in the formation of a straight line moving slowly forward away from where I can see them. I did try to get this on video but my phone wouldn’t focus and on video it just looked like a blurry clip of the dark blue clouds. I saw these lights go on for about 10 minutes I want to say.

Valley Stream, NY
I looked up to see the stars and waxing crescent moon and saw the start of a straight line of small white lights, each one the size and speed of an airplane flying at altitude. I couldn't see any other red wing lights with the white lights. Some were evenly spaced, some were very close together, some were spaced like dots of Morse code (dot-dot space dot-dot-dot space dot-dot, etc). All the lights were moving in a straight line across the apex of the sky, like they were on a string. The line was moving from the northwest to the southeast. I watched for about 20-30 seconds. The line of lights was long and I couldn't see the end, so I went in and brought my husband out to see. They lasted for another 20-30 seconds. We couldn't hear any noise.

Newberg, OR
Initially saw object with two whitish/blue lights peeking in and out of clouds moving in different directions. Object appeared to be high in atmosphere moving at high speeds and changing direction suddenly. Object then moved slowly westward and flashed 4 times, then 7, then 5, changed direction erratically and quickly, then disappeared behind the chehalem mountains to the north. About two minutes later the object was low to the ground and in front of the mountains about 1 mile away with a deep blue glow. It appeared to move slowly until it disappeared behind the trees. Object appeared to be able to turn its lights on and off at will and change direction, speed, and elevation easily. No audible noise detected.

Colonial Beach, VA
Witnessed 6 small flying object headed Southeast following down the Potomac River to the Chesapeake Bay. There was a bright light in the front that almost looked like a flame (looked similar to a flare) with a red tint to it. Could not make out any other red or green navigational lights and no strobe flashing. There also was no engine noise. When we saw them they were about 4 to 5,000 feet above the ground.

Indianapolis, IN
On April 27 around 10PM. I was going on my nightly jog and I couldn't believe what I saw. I noticed a perfect straight line of about 15 stars. I stopped because not only I noticed the line was perfectly straight but the one on the end was red. Suddenly the lights started moving fast in horizontal formation and one by one each object disappeared one right after another until all objects we're gone.

Windsor, MO
a perfect line of unevenly spaced reflections from the sun with no twinkling / very bright reflection for the altitude / i say altitude because at this time where the sun is in relation to the time it makes sense / all "went out" at same place losing the sunlight / then a few minutes later another one was heading same direction but a little more south and "went out" at an earlier point / I've seen a satellite burn up and this was not even close / MIND BLOWN / and since the question is raised of aircraft and animals the only aircraft i've seen for a while is military and dogs were barking some before , thru, and after

Huge flash of light beamed out of sky into my woods. Noticed it from inside my cabin. Ran outside and the light did not appear to have a source above it. Similar to lights shown from helicopters. l, however, absolutely no sounds in the sky. Absolutely silent. This light was extremely bright. Then, shut off and disappeared.

A silent double blueish white light that moved extremely fast and did loops, turns, and an extremely fast descent, and blinked on and off in odd patterns.

Carlsbad, NM
Outside at 6am and looked up abd saw what appeared to be a largwr rgan normal bright star. I watched it for about 3 minutes, then noticed it was moving slowly. It moved fairly slow and finally it came across my house, never speeding up at all. It moved on across the sky and then just disappeared. From first seeing it until it disappeared, the total time was 10 minutes.

San Marcos, TX
Turned off the lights outside to look at the stars and my boyfriend and I saw a strange boomerang shaped craft with what can only be described as a triangle that was barely reflecting from the moon. It was absolutely silent coming from the SW and it had no lights. The whole thing was cloaked in what looked like a white hue where it was bending light. At first I thought it was a fast moving cloud but I quickly realized it was something else. It wasn't an aircraft I've ever seen and with no lights and no sound we were completely stumped. It went in a straight movement but then it came back into our sight part and it did an interesting pattern like a falling leaf doing a loop d loop

Dogs scratching and whimpering at door. Observed a dark craft the size of a barge over pond in the field. Object was two stories still and quite. Was stationary for 90 seconds, felt a strong gust of wind and object hurled vertical at amazing speed and was gone. Went to the pond the next day and the water was noticably lower and was mud splashed around the bank, found a few fish in the feild.

Claremont, CA
RESIDENTIAL SUBURBAN AREA. SITTING ON BALCONY AT 11:30PM. IT WAS A HOT DAY SO ME AND PARTNER ENJOYING A CHAT IN THE COOL OF THE NIGHT. WE WERE STAR GAZING. I HAVE VERY GOOD EYE SIGHT AND SUDDENLY SAW A TRIANGULAR SHAPED AIRCRAFT IN THE DISTANCE TO THE WEST FLYING EAST TOWARD US. THE AIRCRAFT WAS GREYISH/WHITISH IN THE NIGHT SKY AND WAS SMOOTH AND SOLID. NO WINGS OR JAGGED EDGES VISIBLE. LOOKED LIKE A MANTA RAY. VERY OVERWHELMING TO SEE. IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT SOMETHING THAT WANTED TO BE SEEN. ALMOST INVISIBLE. NO EXHAUST TRAIL. IT WAS NOT MOVING FAST, SEEMED MUCH SLOWER THAN JET OR EVEN PROPELLER PLANE. WAS NOT FLYING HIGH. APPROX.500-700 FEET AWAY. NO LIGHTS AT FIRST UNTIL IT FLEW OVER US WE SAW THERE WERE LIGHTS IN A V-FORMATION. THEY WERE NOT SHINING OR FLICKERING, THEY ALMOST SEEMED LIKE REFLECTORS. COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING ELSE BENEATH THE CRAFT BESIDES THE V-FORMATION. WHAT FREAKED US OUT WAS THAT IT WAS EERILY SILENT. NO SOUND AT ALL. FLEW PRETTY MUCH IN A STRAIGHT LINE THEN LOST SIGHT OF IT OVER OUR ROOF.

Portage, MI
We were looking at Moon and Venus. A straight string of lights appeared under the Moon moving quickly from West Southwest to East. We saw them for about 30 seconds. They disappeared when they reach approx due South from our location. At first I thought it was a vapor trail being strangely illuminated but that was clearly not the case. The Ohio description from 4/8 was very consistent with what we saw. We didn't have time to count. Objects were in straight line but unevenly spaced. Tried to film with phone but were not successful.

At least 12 obj objects in a formation. Straight line unequal distances apart. Flying from horizon up. Just north and east of Venus, flying at about a 15 degree angle. As event went on, lights stated to disappear from the same spot as each reached just a few degrees north and east of Venus.

Cassopolis, MI
Saw points of light streaking across night sky, west to north (from Gemini to Hydra atea), in-line and in groups of three, but very close together, moving very fast and very high. These points of light (possible ships?) began to dissapear from front of grouping, like they were going behind sonething, until finally the last one dissapeared.
