Around 11 PM, I looked out of my bedroom window and saw an orange light going straight from northeast to southwest. It looked about plane height, but I have never seen a plane with a bright orange light, or a plane go in that path. I was the color on Mars, with the luminosity of a very bright star. I did not keep looking at it once it had begun to leave the view of my window. I look back out around 11:05, and an orange dot had come into view over my neighbors house, and by 11:07 the dot was gone.

Noticed a cluster of orange lights from my bedroom window. I yelled for my teenage boys and wife. We ran outside and observed 6-10 orange lights due North just over our tree line. They seemed to float around and slowly North. Within about 20 secs they moved out of sight. A few minutes passed and then a sole orange orb appeared higher in the Eastern sky, it descended and moved towards the direction of the other previously viewed objects. It soon also moved down and North until it was out of sight.

This is second time writing. First was for Reddit. -I have told the story SEVERAL times by voice, phone, in person. It has never once changed. I have (during C-VID 19 Lockdown in Chicago) ALMOST convinced myself i didn't see it. But i did. I was coming home from my parents in the suburbs. Heading to my place in Chicago where i live. It was POURING rain the entire 40 minute drive. It suddenly stopped, still bad conditions while i approached o'hare airport. I believe there is an underpass from i90 where ohare is literally above me on the bridge… As i exit this bridge right next to o'hare… i see the.most.beautiful. Shooting star i’ve eve imagined existed. (this is the first millisecond of time broken down) I saw this bright bright light shoot out of my vision. As this millisecond comes to a close, i realize that i saw this light fly AWAY from me. I am a mechanical engineer, i know my coordinate systems extremely well. I can tell you this light traveled up, and away from me (North East Direction). The next slight millisecond of time consisted in me understanding all the sudden that this was NOT a shooting star. It was pouring rain not 5 minutes ago. I look up, the entire sky is covered with rain clouds. They are so presumptuous that they look like their 50 feet above my vehicle. This “shooting star” that i saw i realized left my plane of vision up and away and i still see where it went: a PERFECT horizontal break in the huge rain clouds. This all takes place out of the underpass of o'hare airport. After realizing this light just escaped through that cover, the next millisecond in time is butterflies in my stomach. Because the light i just saw couldn't have been a shooting star given the cloud cover. I realize that i also saw the lights TURN INTO ONE LIGHT. From the close, o'hare type location i first saw it, i saw there were in fact 3 lights and during their exit it formed to one. The butterflies progress. Another millisecond goes by; and i realize the lights are longgg gone. All the sudden my focus comes back, and i see two GIANT jumbo jets flying synchronized, in same exact direction, same exact plane of height of ground that the angle of the lights flew. These planes, giant aircrafts are moving fast i’m sure. But they're moving from my dumb perception slowly as they glide from a take off out of ohare. I line these up in my geometric mind; and i notice they are at the same plane the lights were, and the lights were PERFECTLY CENTERED in between these two flashing airplanes. As if the airplanes perfectly catapulted the lights. Or guided? Or Followed? Around this time i also noticed street lights separating east and west i-90 FLICKERED. Like a perfect trail in direction of that light… Also during this time it hits me of what i just saw. My next move is to call my father. He is a wise realistic man. Straight shooter but absolutely believes in UFO’s. I call him tell him the EXACT description and words i just used to explain this. The very absolute second my story comes to an obvious end. We both hear, a click click clunk and the call drops from us. I call back, thinking perhaps he was messing with me? He thought the same of me. He rushes me off the phone and goes to bed (10:15 ish Pm) He is never like that he was very skeptical. I think i was confirmed sighting, and they used my phone call as aid in their research whatever is going on. Since this i have just today posted on another website, and all the sudden today there is our USA govt. Releasing old footage of UFOs normalizing them? So now any local stories are blocked by CNN and CBS mentioning the pentagon releasing UFO videos. Also After my sighting 4.20.20 there was a METEOR SHOWER the next day. NIce odds right? Also same week that Elon Musk is sending satteltes out. This was definetly not that hence those need rockets, and this was silent and 50^300032.00290-10 times faster than any light i’ve ever seen.

Two of four witnesses were highly trained military officers. Orange circle appeared near Bootes constellation, at first thinking it could be Articurus. For 3+ hours, confirmed at multiple locations, the orange circle made abrupt course changes, varied speeds, was as distant as any star, and was first noted around 22:00 at approximately 101E in night sky.

In the eastern night sky, lights in the shape of a “V” appeared about 45° above the horizon and traveled slowly and silently overhead, westward and then stopped moving about 60° from the western horizon. The “V” then appeared to be a circle of lights, with lights intermittently extending from the circle shape. The circle was stationary in the West for about an hour. The circle seemed to be made up of red and whiteish- blue lights.

On April 20, 2020, at 2100 hours (9:00 pm), a clear night, in backyard in quiet town, my husband and I noticed a formation of star-like lights in the sky, like a dipper, but as we were looking at this stretch of lights across the sky, we noticed there was no dipper - just a long handle - and each star-like light appeared to be of equal distance from the other, and they were gliding, quietly, in a SW to NE direction. By the time we noticed this, there were 8-10 of the lights. There may have been more already gone by and this could have been the tail end. It lasted less than 2-3 minutes. By the time I ran in and got my camera, they were all gone over. We would like to know, at least, if this was something of known origin and planned like drones/airplanes/Airforce related or actual unidentified. Thank you. Feel free to contact.

I saw a red and yellow orb coming from the NE and heading towards the S.W. when I first saw it it was the size of the cherry on my cigarette and I had to run inside and grab my phone and my fiancé when I came back out side in 5-10 seconds it was already super far and started changing speed and moving like nothing I had ever seen . E- W then back N-S it went behind a cloud that you could see the stars though and never came back out .. it was really strange

I was driving home and all of a sudden I noticed a bright white/yellow light in the sky...it shot off at a crazy fast speed to the left...leaving a small trail and then was gone. Appeared and disappeared out of nowhere. It was too low to be a plane, clouds were in the sky so couldn’t be a shooting star. It moved too fast for an explanation. My first thought was UFO and I had pure panic.

My 9 year old son and I had just stepped outside onto our back porch to skywatcher. It was around 11am. I was watching the sky when I had seen a dark grey sphere. There was no light emanating from it. It was probably a half a mile away from us. I asked my son if it was a bird. He has really good vision. He said no that it wasn’t a bird at all. We watched it come towards us and then after 5 seconds it changed direction and headed East. Maintaining its sphere shape. There was no noise and we only saw one.

Standing in my backyard with 2 daughters, whistling for our cat this evening. We were outside for about 10 minutes at 9:30 pm(04/20/2020). We heard our cat meowing very close then very far- seconds apart - we thought something had got her and moved her- because she was meowing really close to our lawn again- I looked up and noticed a grey rainbow in the sky above us & told my girls to look because it was really odd to see in the night sky. We kept hearing our cat very close and seconds later very far away. After about 10 minutes trying to get her in, I was still looking in the woods when I saw an extremely white triangular light coming from the woods- I froze thinking who is driving in the woods- then common sense kicked in and I thought- there is no way any vehicle could drive through the woods as it is so dense- and I could not comprehend the shape of the light coming towards us-it was the point of a triangle of white light - lighting up the entire woods -! coming towards us- at that point I turned- yelled to my girls to get in the house- they were yelling, running and asking me if I saw the bright yellow lights lighting the tree tops up- It was very surreal -

Unlike Venus who shines the brightest in our Eastern sky, tonight my wife and I witnessed, photographed and videoed a circular object in the western sky, it was changing colors rapidly and quiet beautiful. I thought the first 20mins of observing/shooting that it wasn’t moving but then after going inside then back out an hour later I observed it moved East but maintained same height in sky. Also side note, 2 planes traveling in the direction of the object flew quite low.

Was outside at 3:20 and at 3:29 noticed funny light moving through the tree outside the back door. Once it got into a clear view, I noticed it was very unusual, certainly not a normal aircraft nor a drone. I got the binoculars for a closer look, and noticed it to be triangular in shape with 3 blue/white lights at each point with one larger pulsating red light at the center. It looked to be up around 15-20,000 ft at approx 45 degrees. I watched in move very slowly, occasionally picking up speed, then stop to hover, move some more, stop then turned 180 degrees where it stood and moved north to south. It stopped for 5 seconds, became brighter, and vanished with a speed impossible to follow. The event lasted 7 minutes, the sky was pretty clear, no moon, no other planes at that time. I waited for 30 minutes, but no return. Nothing I know of can take off at that kind of speed from a stand still. Hopefully, someone may have seen it, too.

Golden/orange very bright circular shaped UFO just northeast of Coleman, WI. Positioned very low just over the treetops. It was stationary for a period of 15-20 minutes. It then slowly disappeared out of view. It changed from extremely bright to less bright as it was rotating.

I was outside tonight 4/19/2020 at 11:15PM trying to spot meteors from the meteor shower that's supposed to be happening. I didnt see any. But what I did see was a very dim whitish orange triangle shape (3) lights. Go across the sky very fast. I couldn't tell if it was 100 feet high in the sky. Or on space. But it was moving very fast. Faster then a plane. I am in a sober house. So I know what I saw was real.it was about the size of a quarter if you held it out as far as your arms extend. It made no sound.

At approximately 22:05 I observed a roundish flashing object out of the corner of my eye to the West, while taking my dogs out. It was a bright white flashing type object, flashed, also had a red, then green, then blue looking light that flashed quickly was at the center of the object and had a haze around it (my video in the beginning caught all of these different details). My photos caught the flashing object as looking like a cross like object. It was a distance away, but appeared strange, I went upstairs and took video and photos, as I didn't have my phone on my when I was outside. It also appeared to have a green light in the center of the object. I knew it wasn't a standard aircraft as it was hovering in the same spot for over 10 minutes and seemed to make a few sudden movements. From where I was it seemed to be quite a bit higher in the atmosphere than the plane I saw go by below it. The plane went by like this other object was standing still, however! the object made sudden movements after being still for awhile and then went away further away after about 25 minutes, until I couldn't see it anymore.

I was sitting in my hot tub with my wife and I was in mid sentence when a triangular type something caught my eye. At first I thought it was a flock of birds as it was pretty low, but it was moving way too fast to be birds and the formation of the white triangles was in perfect symmetry. It flew from east to west over my house. I assume it was one craft with about 10-14 white triangles on the bottom there were no lights associated with it and no sound that I could hear. The only reason I could see it was the white triangles were reflecting against the black sky. My wife had her glasses off so she couldn’t see it.

Leaving boyfriends house at 9:45pm, we walked outside to my truck and notice this strange light reflecting off the clouds. At first we thought it was his neighbor shining a super strong flashlight into the clouds, but realized it has no trail of light behind it (light was coming from above and behind the cloud) it was just this huge round spot-light looking light circling us. The light did a couple of zig zaggy circles over us. I have never seen anything like it in my life. My boyfriend ran into the house to grab a flashlight to see if he could recreate what we just saw for some kind of explanation. As soon as my boyfriend pointed the flashlight to the night sky the mysterious light disappeared, and we noticed that it was the only cloud in the sky. Now I'm all tripped out and begin my spooky journey to my house. As I get further away down the road I looked in my mirror noticed just above his house is this bright cloud it looks as if the moon was behind it illuminating it (we are days away from the new moon no way it could of been the moon). The cloud had this soft peach orange glow about it. When I got home I called my boyfriend and told him about the cloud and he told me that shortly after I had left the cloud started to slowly move away towards the mountain.

Watched a series of lights move across the sky tonight. Appeared to be satellites at first, but they kept coming wave after wave. Lights came from south / southwest sky moving northeast. Lights all followed same line of direction, spaced apart equally in single file line (this was continuous for several minutes. Spacing was almost perfectly apart). But witnessed a couple lights moving in parallel with each other, and one light appeared to change direction, moving 90 degrees from the others. Continued to see lights throughout the evening in same direction, but usually just a single light, followed by another without any pattern.

My Friend and I were out gazing, hoping to catch the spacex satellite train.. (we were not able to see the train this night for whatever reason.) However, at aproximately 9:30 P.M., coming from the south. We saw what looked to be a V formation of 7-8 separate bright objects 6-7 objects making up the “V” and 1 object following directly beside the V formation. They made no sound and moved at a very high rate of speed so we amused they were a cluster of satellites moving in very low earth orbit. Didn’t think too much of it till we saw the same V formation of lights coming from the south again @ 10:13P.M. If they were the same craft as 40-45 minutes before, (and I believe they were.) This implies they orbited the planet in half the time it should take to orbit!(usually around 90 min) They presumedly were traveling at about 34000miles per hour. As if that wasn’t amazing enough, as the lights passed over the second time and reached about midway in the sky, the formation began to MOVE and SHIFT OUT OF the V formation, and each “craft” sort of crisscrossed went independently of one another. Then they went out of sight again! I don’t know what to make of this… this is not tech that I've ever heard of.
