Douglas, WY
Outside in a small wyoming town with little to no light pollution. My family and I see in the moonlight a somewhat transparent object in a crescent or saucer shape (maybe) fly across the sky then change direction. We waited, then it returned randomly for the next 45 minutes. No lights on the craft, just a distortion of the stars around it. My family and I have never seen anything like that, and know how planes act at night. Low flying craft with no lights or sound, with very little visual indication unless you see it at the right time. The 4 sightings were all at different elevations and different spots in the sky. We thought it was clouds the first time, but the other sightings reassured us of what we had seen. Fast moving, maybe visible in the sky for 10 seconds on each pass. As there was no light, we could not capture on camera.

One red and one white light together above the tree line with a bright center larger than a star but smaller than the moon. Every time I tried to take a picture the lights would go out and then come back on. I even tried to take a video but it moved and the lights went out. It just stayed there hovering for a very long time otherwise. It seemed as if it was far away and at least the size of a plane.

Went outside and there was a light pretty high up over our tree line (from our view) this light has been here for a while and before was accompanied with an air craft that flew significantly lower and closer to us that we assumed it was a drone and that the big one was a planet. Last night it was in a slightly different area in the sky. I said "get theres that light that i guess is a planet (laughing because I got called crazy for saying it was a if I watching the area) and i looked away for about 5 seconds after saying.this to my fiance and he said yes I see it. But as we looked back 5 seconds later we both notice it was gobe. This was very big and white light so bright youd swear it wasa planet. And then boom. Gone. As we are looking for it wondering how it just dissapeared...it came back in a very slighlty different spot to thw right. No colors flashing. It disnt really twinkle or flash. Then it got super dim amd looked like a pin for light like a no! rmal star. Then itd get brighter and dim again but more frequently but still slow enough there was no fast flash in between. Then we noticed very far away was two more but these two were grouped together and seemed to be communicating with flashes. No other colored lights. Just super white. As we looked back to the original main huge dimming light we notice it was going up and very far away to where we couldnt see it no more. It made motions the whole time that i call swimming in the sky. It loomed like the motion fish make to swim but also going up and down back and forth farther and closer.no sound associated with the craft. After that main big one dissapeared we notice one of the others also dissapeared but the other stayed. We went inside and a few minutes later I went to look out my window and seen that the last one had gone too. I have a 49 second video. But its hard to tell. And im slightly shaky from nerves so tonight (4/19/20 i intend to set up a spot so the camer! a is steady and as it gets dark i want to see if it comes back! or more come back. Also....last night we went out again after it all and there was nothing else but the hazy fog like clouds were eerie and one spot was even squiggly like a far away galaxy would appear. Probably not related to what i seen but it added to the spook. ( we are being watched) odd time with the covid19 that sightings are increasing ! I woke up with a long scratch on my leg and its still welped like it had just happened. As soon as i opened my eyes my mind went to the pain. Creepy!

Saw a large golden sphere of light above the tree line towards the large towers in Duluth. Moved after we saw it and dropped down to where we could only see it in between the houses across the street and then it disappeared.

I saw a giant hovering bright sphere in the sky. Had green light on the sides of it, and once in awhile a red flashing light. Also was beaming a light out of it. There was a round aura around it. I called family members and they were mystified, too! My niece thought she could see light spinning around it, but I didn’t see that.

At 10 o’clock at night I went outside to grab something from my car. I looked up in the sky and saw 3 white lights in the sky, they were all heading towards each other, one was heading south, one north, and the third was traveling west. At first I thought it was 3 satellites, but then they all started moving east. I then moved to get a better view as there was a tree blocking part of my view. Once the tree was out of the way I saw two more lights traveling east as well. They all seemed to be going a similar speed, about the speed of satellites I’ve seen, but I’d never seen so many satellites at once. I stood there and kept looking, and more lights kept appearing from the west and traveled east, at what appeared to be similar trajectories as the previous lights. At this point and went back inside and got my brother, who came out and watched the lights with me. They kept appearing from the west and heading east. Sometimes one at a time, sometimes two. Some were faster than others. Then my mother came out and witnessed the lights. All in, their were probably 12-14 moving lights in total. I don’t know if it was a series of satellites we saw. Their were no flashing lights, but at one point one light grew brighter for a second then returned to its normal appearance. At the start, the lights appeared frequently but as time went on their was a longer break between appearances. This lasted about 20 minutes, and I would like to know if there were any satellites or other known vehicles in the sky at the time this happened. I would appreciate an explanation if there is one.

We saw and counted about 100 extremely fast moving bright lights in the sky. There is no way there were a plane or satellite. There was zero sounds or noises. The speeds were unbelievably fast. We saw one light coming down were we were gathered. It was actually completely metallic chrome silver but in a spherical shape. We all could see what look like humans wearing plain colored clothing but they looked too perfect and they were smiling at us. We all think they were aliens.

I was walking down my street when I looked at the sky. A set of stars began to travel in line around the sky. I brushed it off as StarLink (SpaceX), when I realized some of the stars started to split off and go in a few directions. The line was going from West to North, then South to North by the end of it. I called my mom and explained the situation. A couple of my neighbors came out after seeing me standing in the middle of my street. I showed them what was going on and they were as amazing as I was. The lights were bright, so when it began to end they faded to nothing. Soon after, a thin fog rolled in and covered the sky. They looked as if to appear from behind the brightest object in the sky. It’s not the North Star because it’s in the west. I looked it up and was told it was the planet Venus. Helicopters seem to surrounding and follow the line at first, but flew off when it disappeared.

We notice it moved in large distances across the sky in a split second. For example one moment it was in one spot and the next in a totally different, with no trail to be seen. At one point we witnessed it make a very defined 90ﾟ turn, And followed by a second 90 degree turn back to the original area. It appeared as though it were falling from the , but was continuing to move from place to place. It appeared to be a bluish white in color.

Lights that look like a convoy of ISS's moving from southwest, to northeast evenly spaced at first, then gradually spaced farther apart. Saw at least 10-15 lights go over in about 5 minutes, then about 29 minures later, another single light went over. Stopped observing about 21:40 (9:40pm).

16 "star" like objects traveling west to north east one after another, a plane (with red flashing lights) traveling on a parallel path moving east to west, then 2 objects side by side traveling north to south, then 5 more objects one after another traveling west to north east but with greater length of time between/distance between the objects, then one final object traveling west to east. With the exception of the two traveling north to south, all appeared to come from a larger star. dogs in the neighborhood barking throughout the first 16 objects, which may have been merely coincidental.

My adult son and I were looking for satellites in the sky from our backyard when all of a sudden we see a triangular shaped object (one light at the front and two in the back in each corner with black mass in between the lights) flying extremely fast across the sky. He pointed it out and I immediately saw it and we watched it until it was no longer visible. It was flying northwest then disappeared into the night sky.

At approximately 9:15 PM this evening, while sitting out on the back deck of our house, we observed the first object moving from WSW to NE across the night sky. From observing the ISS over several years, this definately was moving at a speed that far exceeded any commercial jet. About one minute later, two more appeared about 10 degrees apart and following the exact same flight path. Over the next 25 minutes, approximately nine more appeared, all following the same flight path and crossing the night sky at the same speed. I've never observed multiple objects like this before that appeared at the same location in the sky, transit in the exact same direction and at the same high rate of speed. All appeared as singular solid lights, with a couple of them almost as bright as the ISS. No flashing lights or changes of color were observed.

A trail of star like lights moving from the W. They were in a straight line and equally spaced apart. One of them moved parallel from the group closer to the end. There were a few lights that where to the side and a smaller distance away from the main line. There were four observers in my group.

About 45+ satellite looking lights going across the sky and a perfect line perfectly spaced for about 25 to 40 minutes straight. We sit up outside all the time and I have never seen anything like this before.

I was leaving the house, looking up at the sky like I always do, and spotted a fine point (star) however this one was moving and behind it another, and another. They were all moving in a perfect line and spaced between one another. No commercial lights. Two of the 16, actually shined an intense, becoming more brighter than the rest that has past by. It doesn’t end there, I went to my brothers place, about 5 miles away and we both looked up and at one point didn’t see anything and then 2 free floating lights flying, however not in formation like before at my house.

Very high altitude objects in orderly straight line. Moving from W.S.W. to E.N.E. Objects spaced even distance from each other. towards the last 9 objects 1 was traveling off the right of the formation same directional movement. A couple minutes before seeing the 1 object to the right there was 1 object to the left of formation moving same as column. All objects were of same light yellow bright reflector color. How high in the air . Likely in earth orbit. Size of objects is a question. I at this time understand people in St.Louis Mo. has witnesses the same type of sighting.

Clear night. These very tiny solid lights were traveling from the SSW to the NNE. About 40-50 degrees off the horizon. Just below Venus I believe at this time. Each light were the same distant from each other all traveling the same speed. Can tell they where very high/far off in space.
