we just watch over 50 lights go through the sky in the same pattern one after another at first I thought it was a satellite but then there was another following close behind then another and we counted 50ish following in the same flight pattern they seemed to come out of know where at first then,there was looked to be a red star where the lights came from,

I was taking my dogs out and I was looking up at the sky at the asteroid light and night sky like normal. I notice single white lights equally spaced apart, no sound from them for being so high in the sky, moving from the West to the east at a fairly decent speed. I called my wife and son out to see it, because it was something strange in the night sky. I counted 10 at that moment and as I looked to the east I noticed more lights heading the same direction and then vanished.

Manly, IA
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.

On a motorcycle ride one witness saw light formations evenly spaced and moving rapidly across the entire sky before disappearing. They rushed home and alerted me and a few others. I grabbed my phone and filmed the even live on Facebook. They just kept appearing proximal to the direction of Venus when facing west. Dozens of small star sized lights continued appearing for about an hour. During one live video a light appeared to brighten and come toward me when my feed was interrupted. I started a new video when clouds began to roll in from the north and a humming sound began. There was a sudden very strong gust of wind and it became very cold. We continued to watch for another half an hour and witness many lights darting between gaps in the clouds. We heard strange noises during this time including humming and very soft crackling sounds like tiny rain drops falling. I am happy to provide the video that most clearly captured one of the lights.

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 saw about 30 lights moving to the NE in a straight line, about equally spaced. The lights looked higher and faster than airplanes.

I stepped out my front door that faces East. A very bright star caught my eye. As I looked at it, I noticed what looked like a satellite passing by it. I watched a few more seconds and saw another behind it traveling at the exact speed and direction, northeast. I went to my back deck, where there was very little light to see more clearly. About 30-40 of these objects passed by, at what seemed like a very high altitude, over about 10 minutes. I went to get others from inside to observe as well. Four of us all saw the same objects clearly, and could not explain them.

Clear skies approximately 9pm Saturday April 18th. I noticed an object moving across the sky as a light similar to a Star. They did not have blinking lights or sound. I then noticed another one behind it then another and another moving from south west to North East in a line. I counted over sixty as this continued for at least a half an hour from when I noticed them. Most stayed in this line with a few out of line and one coming from the south. I texted a friend who live a ways from me to go outside and check it out also. They moved faster than aircraft I have seen in the past and at a height that made me first think of a satellite. When they had all passed I then noticed a smoke like substance filling the skies that resembled clouds. There were no tails that would make one think of comets or meteorites just a solid consistent light like a Star. My cell phone was also acting up as I was trying to get photos and text friends to see this however I’m not sure if that was related to the event.

Liberty, MO
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.

One silent craft that was circular in shape moving about 150knots moving from east to west. Flew right over Cresent Hill area. The craft was dark in color with no lights visible. Video of the object was taken and captured about 15 seconds of the craft moving beyond the tree line from the front porch. Air traffic at Bowman Field said they did not pick anything up on radar.

We witnessed 10-12 formation lights in the sky. They were perfectly apart from each other. There was one moving a little faster at the end of the formation.

College Place, WA
Saw a string of Stars evenly spaced out for about 30 minutes, could be 50+, they were in a staight line. towards the end the line was in a different part of the ski but going the same direction going north-east. toward the end the end of the 30 minutes the stars were not in line up perfectly. No noise, very high like a Satelite, Also saw a shooting star go across too. I do have a poor video

We were outside finishing yard work due to the sun coming down and one of our 6 year old twins noticed a light flying overhead. My husband and I watched and didn’t see any flashing lights as we would normally see on airplanes. It had a steady white light. Then as that one kept flying we noticed another appeared behind it. Then another and another and another. Each flew in what looked like the exact same latitude longitude path of the preceding flying object. We could only see about 4-5 at one time in the sky before the next one came and the furthest out of view range heading eastward. They were flying with even space between them. We sat on the ground watching as more and more appeared out of the western sky. We attempted to take video on our iPhones but because it was so dark out it only showed black. We waited until the last one flew passed. I am estimating that it was between 20-30 flying objects. The shape was not clear as it was dark and they appeared t! o be high up and all we could make out was each individual light. No noise was heard.

Antioch, CA
Earlier this evening at approximately 8:30 p.m. in Antioch, California, I got on my bike and rode to my neighbors house to hang out..he was working on a car in his driveway so I got off my bike and sat on the curb. I looked up at the night sky and I noticed what looked like very faint satelite. Instead of just one like I usually see, there was at least 30 that i saw and they were headed in one direction, at the exact same speed, in a single file line but there were a few that werent. They were spaced apart evenly and there was no sound. There was no twinkling like stars. They were just dim points of light that looked exactly like a satellite.

A massive amount of extremely fast moving, single colored, bright lights. Absolutely no sounds. Spotted a single airplane that did not match the incredible speeds and formation of the bright lights.

Large triangle shaped craft was floating in the sky with about 5 very small crafts flying in formation around it. The small crafts clumped together with the larger craft, zoomed over to the left very fast, and then started moving away from us and disappeared into thin air.

Payson, AZ
April 18, 2020 1840 Payson Arizona Headed south on Arizona Highway 87 just outside of Payson mile marker 245 to 247. Driving through Payson to Phoenix Arizona I was scanning my horizon when A slow moving object caught my eye. I noted the mile marker 245 I continue to watch the object. It looked like an airplane slowing for a landing. I soon realize the object had no tail, it was just a cylinder shape that was tapered slightly at the ends. The object was moving west to east, and was 15 seconds or so in front of me. It was Low I could see it clearly in the day light and had contrast with the Mountians in the back ground. The color was not shiny but a dull gray that reflected the sun just a little. I continue to watch the cylinder object to see if it could be an airplane. Did it have wings I asked? The object began to turn towards me. I saw no wings. I saw a small soft white light. I thought that the light could be the headlight. As the object continue to turn towards me the light grew in size. Eventually the light engulfed the entire diameter of the aircraft. Then “blink” the light turned off and they was is no object or light. At this time I was at mile marker 247. Less then a minute is how long it lasted 2 miles @ 65mph. I knew at mile 248 there was a brake check area. I stopped at the brake check area got out my binoculars and got out of my truck. I began to search the skies for object or aircraft. I saw no aircraft in the sky or the object. Payson Arizona is a small town at elevation of 5000 feet it is a mountainous Arizona terrain. I estimate that the object was the same size as a submarine, smaller than the USS Ohio. Aircraft this large would never land in Payson. Nor could it have landed in that terrain. Some background Professional truck driver Military aviation( Rotary wing ) Was stationed in Hawaii.

I was outside looking up at the sky when i noticed what appeared to be a satalite drifting across the sky. When i noticed a second following closely directly behind it. As i had the two in my site i noticed another one drop out of the sky and follow directly behind it at what appeared to be a semi close pace. I tried to see where they were coming from but there seemed to be no trail. I called my folks to come out and take a look and they to saw what I saw. It almost looked like they were dropping out of the sky. They were very high, too high to be planes. They seemed to be traveling at a fast pace. I counted twenty in all. After about 25 minutes it stopped. I went in the house and returned outside about five minutes later and saw two more disappear across the sky. The sky is dark tonight with no moon .

Last night me and my girlfriend were out looking at the stars and we saw an odd thing it looked like there was about 30 lights about a mile to a mile and a 1/2 apart going from West to North East consistently went on for a about 15 minutes One of the lights separated from the others and went in a totally different direction. It was like a conveyor belt we would look and another would appear move across the sky and fade off. At any given time you could see 3 to 4 moving thru the sky at once. Always the same distance apart. Never any blinking or flashing happened
