I was laying in bed and had a funny feeling come over me. I gazed out my bedroom window and saw two shining lights moving silently. I have seen these lights often, The first time I saw them I was 13 years old. Every time I see them I get sick the next day and dream that I'm in a medical facility. What is strange is that when I am there I'm in a room and come out to see where I am at, and it looks like a hospital setting and there is nurses there. They tell me that I'm okay and to go back into my room. I don't really now what is happening to me.

Large golden sparkle at night. It has been appearing almost every night since the 26th. It is impossible to properly discern the true shape of the object because of how "sparkly" it looks, but if I were to wager my best guess, it would possibly be cigar-shaped. It also appears to pulse if you look closely at it, but it does not blink. It never appears as any other color but gold. When visible, the object will either sit in one place or slowly drift around. It was observed moving quickly only once; it disappeared behind some trees and then suddenly reappeared in its original position. The times it appears, the directions it moves in, the speed it moves at, and its altitude have not followed any discernible patterns. However, it consistently appears in the same general place on the skyline. It will stay visible anywhere from 2-30 minutes in the sky. It has appeared, left within 15 minutes, and reappeared some number of hours later on one occasion. I've never submitted one of these reports before. This is the first time I have observed such an object. Two other people have witnessed this object with me. None of us has a background in science or the military.

I was leaving a late shift at work on the 26 of April (Sunday) & as i was walking out to my car, i see to my left, i noticed a formation of 3 to 4 orange-ish lights in a incomplete square, almost diamond shape at a standstill in the sky. They gave off a white hue around it along with the orange color. They then moved at great speeds to the south. From what i could hear, it sounded like a fighter jet engine(s) but those definitely weren’t fighter jets due to the colors.

Loud vibration noise coming from outside bedroom window. Blinds were shut so when opened encountered a circular object in sky with white boxed lights around it, not blinking or moving. Staying perfectly still as it was hovering over woods and trees. The noise went away as the object disappeared, so very slowly descending farther. Will try and update more, weird noises and sightings happen constantly.

My wife and I were sitting in our backyard after putting out the fire in the fire pit. As we were finishing up and getting ready to go in the house, I turned and saw a bright globular light in the SE part of the sky. We live in the central part of a small city in Northern MN, so there is not much light pollution. I immediately asked my wife - do you see that light in the sky? because it was very noticeable. It was orange in color, almost looked like a ball of fire, but very steady and bright. The movement of the object in the sky was quite distinctive because at firs t I thought it might be a plane or helicopter…it’s speed was fairly similar to that of an airplane, but it made absolutely no noise. At the point that I realized that it was not an airplane or any craft I was familiar with - in fact, I couldn’t see any real detail at all, other than it was globe-shaped and mostly a shiny orange color, with maybe some fluctuation in intensity. I asked my wife if she was seeing this bright object too. We both tracked it across the sky as it traveled NE to SW in a very straight line. It did not turn or make any sudden moves, it moved quite steadily along a direct path. It did not float or move erratically. It was low enough that it was below the cloud deck, the sky was overcast. I can’t say exactly the object’s altitude was, other than it seemed to be about what a low-flying plane might be, but high enough in the sky to be close to the lower part of the cloud deck. In fact, our house is under the main flight path of the airport for our small city, but the flight path is SE to NW, not NE to SW. The light travelled above the house behind ours, still making no noise at all and clipping along at a steady pace. I tried to follow it further, but it disappeared from view. My wife and I both saw this object and we both agreed that what we saw was not a plane. My wife said she that at first she thought it was a planet, because the object was so bright. We both saw that it was spherical in shape and mainly orange colored. She also brought up the idea of it being a satellite, but we both agreed that this object was way too low to be a satellite in orbit around the earth. I highly doubt that this was a StarLink satellite, and it was just the one object. I’m a professional who works in academia and am not prone to seeing things that aren’t there. My wife is also a very level-headed professional. I was astounded by what I saw. I’ve been reading about and researching UFO’s and wondering about what they might be for the last few years, but I’ve never seen anything like this.

translucent white bird or plane-shaped craft, could clearly see a massive curved set of wings and a body, flying well above normal cruising altitude for birds, completely silent, flying from west to east across the lake. Gliding semi-slowly.

I was on my back porch and saw a bright white light when I looked west to the top of the trees. It was 4 to 5 times the size of the larger stars in the sky. I thought it might be a plane, but then it moved sideways quickly. It seemed to "buzz" around (like an insect) and moved toward the west, then east again. I went inside to grab my phone to video tape it, and it was still moving around. My neighbors looked from their vantage point (after I texted them to see if they had a drone or something out, which they didn't), but couldn't see it through the thicker trees. I went upstairs and could still see it, although it had moved further west. It was still there and "flitting about" 35 minutes after first sighting it.

My boyfriend and I were driving and noticed something in front of the moon. We pulled over and seen a flying saucer slowly pass in front of the moon like it was floating. We could see the shape perfectly from the light of the moon. It passed through the middle then went up the right side of the light of the moon then disappeared.

Looking northwest into the night sky. A vertical formation of over 10 stars appeared gradually over the course of a few seconds. The stars were connected by a vertical, straight, bright, white light. The vertical line of stars remained stationary and were always connected by the line of light. The stars were twinkling in the night sky for about 20 or so seconds before they began to fade until eventually they were gone. It looked as if someone had drawn a straight vertical line between formation of stars. I have reviewed photos of starlink, but they do not match what I saw that night.

It was in the NW sky starting from the horizon into the sky for 4-5 min minutes. When trying to record you could only hear a weird ticking noise and none of our voices.

String of lights composed of ~12 circular objects. Appeared briefly (10 seconds), and was moving north to south. Faded as formation appeared to gain altitude, while continuing a southerly trajectory. An additional string of lights appeared ~20 minutes later. This second string of lights was composed of three bright objects, similar to the previous description in brightness, duration, and trajectory.

We saw a string of about 20-30 lights traveling in a straight line about 30 deg off the horizon and traveling ESE. Then about approx 5 minutes later we saw it again traveling in the same direction but almost straight overhead.

Walking down Grove St, facing east, looked up in sky because there was movement that caught my attention in my upper vision. When I looked up in the nighttime sky, I saw at least 12 glowing orbs in perfect formation traveling diagonally downward from the left of the sky going down to the right. Going a steady, fast speed in perfect formation, evenly spaced apart from one another.Then they disappeared behind the mountain.

Lubec, ME
Observed a string of 30-40 objects very high in the night sky travelling at a magnetic compass bearing of 150 degrees ESE. They appeared as bright white lights evenly spaced in groups of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, with no logical pattern of grouping. Fast moving, silent, they appeared like a train in the sky. After about 5 minutes, a second group of exactly 20 lights travelling at the same bearing passed by. My wife and I both saw the lights. They were spotted at approximately above the sliver moon, which was below Venus. We watched them pass over the house and head in a direction towards Grand Manan Island, Canada, and suddenly vanish in the night sky.

My friend and I were outside her house near the ocean tonight, watching the sky and talking about UFOs. Oddly enough, as we’re on this topic, we see a long trail of lights moving slowly through the night sky toward the ocean (northeast). There must have been about 100 of them. They were in perfect single file, some spaced further apart than others, and had the appearance of very bright stars. They were moving horizontally. It was strange how in sync they were, moving at the exact same pace. They also moved much more slowly than you would expect. We were completely blown away. Of course we took out our cameras, but they couldn’t quite pick it up in the dark. I managed to take a screenshot of the video I took and adjusted the brightness so you can see one frame of them (I will be emailing in the photo). There were many, many more than what I captured with my camera, but it gives you the idea. Eventually they disappeared at this one point in the sky, one by one! , until they were all gone. I’ve never seen anything like it before in my life, and I have no idea what it could have possibly been.

My fiancee and 2 friends were sitting out on our patio in our back yard in the evening at around 8:30 PM. It was a clear night and it was just getting dark enough so that more stars were beginning to be visible. I had my binoculars out, which I was using to look at the crescent moon and any planes or other aircraft that were in the sky. Everyone was just chatting and sitting in the patio furniture (I was standing up and periodically looking at the moon and scanning the sky). I saw what appeared to be 3 white lights traveling East (or Southeast) in a line. The front 2 lights were much closer together than the 3rd trailing light. There were no blinking lights and no red or other-colored lights. I stated I saw something to my fiancee and our friends and my fiancee and one of our friends began watching as well (the 4th person had their back to everything and was not paying attention or interested in he moment). The lights were completely silent and at the time we did not see any other planes in the sky and there were only a handful of stars/planets (in addition to the moon) visible in the night sky. I followed the 3 lights with my binoculars and watched them as long as possible - eventually they faded into the distance - they did not disappear behind the horizon or into the clouds - to me it looked like the objects were continuing on the same path they were on when I first noticed them. The lights traveled at a consistent speed except towards the end of the sighting when it appeared that they sped up, or were going up into higher altitude while still traveling East/Southeast without the rate of movement changing. The 3 of us who witnessed it were baffled.

On April 25th, 2020, I was on my porch facing west admiring the sunset at 8:27pm. I noticed approximately 45 degrees above the Olympics and perhaps about 1 mile or so away (from my vantage point) a flashing light. The light was white and flashed every second with a 2 flash burst approximately every 5 seconds or so. At first I just assumed it was a civilian aircraft headed in my direction but it was stationary. I then assumed it was a helicopter. But the light didn't seem to match any civilian navigation lighting pattern I was familiar with. So I went inside and grabbed my binoculars. With the binoculars I could just vaguely make out a cylindrical black object. No tail or wing structure that I could discern. After a couple of minutes a civilian airplane came into view and when it did, this object started moving in a fairly quick pace to the North, and then switched course and started moving to the south. It was still plainly in view this entire time. At around 8:33pm this object suddenly moved very rapidly downward or at least out of my view and below the tree line where I lost all visual contact. The flashing white light was no longer there, simply a small red light as it made its way out of view. I am a huge aviation buff and can recognize numerous commercial and civil aircraft. This was none of those. This was a true UFO. It was Unidentified, Flying and some sort of physical Object. It's possible (I cannot rule it out) it was a drone but I don't get that feeling. It seemed to be larger than a drone.

Fleet of lighted unidentified aircraft, traveling over Illinois (Peoria County) Saturday night, April 25th , 2020, (8 – 9 pm) Peoria County, Illinois, 2 hrs southwest of Chicago. My husband and I saw a fleet of lighted aircraft shooting out from in between the moon and another object, which may be another moon or Big star, it’s a new light we noticed that is there all the time now, bright like the moon and travels alongside the moon. We were facing southwest when we saw the fleet of lighted aircraft appear in the sky. This is Covid 19 shelter in place now, reduced airplane traffic, so it was extremely odd to see this happening. Finishing up with some yard work after dark, I had looked up into the sky and saw the line of lighted objects that appeared to be rapidly shooting through the sky in single file formation, faster than any jet or rocket I’ve ever seen. They were oblong shaped lighted craft, traveling close together, no noise, no exhaust, just light. They were flying in single file maintaining specific distance, some would speed up a little then slow down, although I did see two flying together side by side although still moving at the same speed and distance as the rest of the fleet. Watching them trail through the sky, then disappear, with the other crafts following in the same direction disappearing, simply blew my mind! They appeared rapidly, not like fading into view. I started counting them to myself, they were going so fast I lost track (maybe 50+). I alerted my husband to come outside to see what was happening. The event lasted a couple minutes longer, perhaps up to 100 craft total, and then they were gone. They just disappeared into the sky, just like they first appeared no trailing off into the distance, they were just gone, it was a clear night, we could see their lights very brightly. If I had to describe what it looked like, here it goes. You know the machines that continually shoot out tennis balls to a tennis player, or like a military semiautomatic shots being fired off. The brightly lighted fleet looked like that, they looked to be on a mission. I’ve never seen anything like this! Thank you for reading my eye witness report. Hope this helps someone doing some deep research. Please reply back if any other reports of this nature are happening in Illinois.

On Apr25 2020 at approximately 20:00 I went outside my house as it was a beautiful evening I had my cell phone with me. I may have been outside 5 minutes looking to the west i could see the moon and Venus clearly. I decide to take a picture on my cell phone and after I stood and watched the skies for a short time there after. I never saw the object at any point it was only after going back through photos on my cell phone did I discover that the object was there May 27 2020. I went on line to see what the skies were like as far as planets available in that part of the sky visible at that point on Apr 25 2020 only Venus was up and of course the moon...again I did not see any movement from my perspective left to right or right to left or vertical up or down...and had my see toward that part of the sky for at least another 5 or so minutes after taking the picture before going in the house.

Was out for a walk and saw a very low flying JetBlue. After watching the jet noticed a flashing object in the distance. The object hovered for about 3 mins in the same place while flashing a very bright white. Almost seemed to be reflecting off of the object and not a light as the lights on the jet were not visible and the flashing from the object was erratic. Object seemed to be gray when not flashing produced no noise. After the 3 mins, it started to move in the same direction as the jet almost looked to be following it.

Anniston, AL
My friends and I were standing outside on the west side of Anniston, Al. As soon as I walked out I noticed a very bright light in the NW part of the sky. Couldn't be Venus. I've been looking at these stars for 38 years, from the time it's warm enough to sit outside until it it's too cold. So, it's fair to say, I can quickly spot what's not supposed to be there. The light would dim and completely disappear. Then, it would brighten back up. I timed the intervals, they were odd.. This lasted for over an hour , until it disappeared Ava never appeared again. This is the third time I've witnessed something as such.
