sitting in back yard roasting marshmallows when we thought we saw the space station fly by, subsequently 25 plus lights flew by all traveling west to east, Most were single file, a couple were almost side by side.

Litchfield Park, AZ
Looked like moving stars. First spotted one and then many followed over the hour. Most of them appeared in the west, between Orion and Venus, and headed north where they seemed to rise up higher and higher until they disappeared. A few of them moved further to the east and one that hovered for about 4 or 5 minutes made a huge semi circle from west to north to southeast before it disappeared. Several just appeared and rose up briefly till they disappeared. One that was particular brighter seemed to slowly pulsate as it flew.

Friday, April 17th around 8pm, north central Phoenix. Lights that if were there only 1 would have looked like a satellite flying across the night sky. The lights were the same brightness as the stars and could have been missed very easily. The lights were moving southwest to northeast. One after another at very close to the same distance apart, guessing 10” apart at ground view. From time to time there would be 2 lights together coming along the same line. Reminded me of like a squad of 8 or so lights and an accompanying squad leader coming along side. This happened 6 or 8 times. But this was not a strict formation or interval. I saw at least 40 lights that very much appeared to be separate vessels. I’m sure that I did not see them when they first started across our sky. I also went in to get my wife and she saw many. They just kept coming. I watched until there were no more. They didn’t waiver from their path, it looked like they had somewhere to go.

Mount Holly, NC
As soon as the Sun Set in the West. In the Eastern sky ( Over Charlotte NC ) 2 Fireball like objects orbited around each other super fast for 45 seconds to a minute before making a straight line completely out of sight to the South. Oddly enough a neighbor 3 houses down from me was outside and saw the whole thing unfold as well. From my perspective the fireballs appeared to be the size of small car. 10-14 feet in diameter.

Gresham, OR
Was driving west on burnside and eastman pkwy in my convertible. I looks up like i often do and saw two orbs next to each othee, no shape no sound going from south to north. The orbs would alternate brightness about a second apart. At first i thought drone but it was to high to bright and moved to far for any drone, not sure if it was higher or lower then an airplane going to land at pdx which i also saw at the same time. it flew several blocks before it disapered behind trees. The further it moved away the more it looked like it had two small lights in between the two larger lights now looking to flare up left to right. Have seen helicopters and jets at night both loud and obvious with distinct shapes. What i saw was just to orbs, a UfO. i have no idea what it was. Ican only speculate.

Cottonwood, AZ
Facing west towards Mingus mountain, located coming out of the Orion constellation heading approx north passing by Venus as it sets. Multiple orbs crossing sky at the same speed never passing one another scattered through a small angle of the sky passing horizontally into clouds to north. Not blinking, looking like satellite altitude. No sign of atmosphere entry, as if already in atmosphere. Quantity started very high with as many as 10 at once, has decreased now over 25min to one or two ever few minutes.

Prescott, AZ
White round objects traveling ENE more or less in a line, though some were out to side. Around 100. Uniform speed, seemed to be very high up. No sound. Definitely not airplanes as there were a few planes with usual red/green lights. We called neighbors who came out and were able to see at least two from their position. We thought the procession stopped, but after a break it started again adding some more to the first 100 or so.

Phoenix, AZ
we were outside approximate time, when 39 light objects crossing sky from west to northeast. At first , when the first one appeared, we thought it was space station or satellite, then immediately after it another appeared at same altitude and then following each one at high altitude and speed . we couldn't figure out what objects were, but clearly were not airplanes. But why so many and so fast... we watched trying to figure out what was going on.. They were so high , they were reflecting sunlight from sun setting hour previous. was this military aircraft or what... and so many at once.

Object appeared to be a satellite moving from southwest to northeast. When object west about 60 degrees up from the horizon and west/northwest of my location, there was a bright light shining in my direction for about two seconds. I am a military/commercial pilot retired after 41 years and over 12,000 hours of flying. Probably half of my time is at night. The light looked like a sun glint. Could it have been a brief sun reflection off of a satellite like the Hubble? The angle to the sun below the horizon could explain it. Except for the two second flash, the time of travel from overhead to the horizon was about one minute.

Gig Harbor, WA
Hello Mr. Davenport, At approximately 11 am Pacific 1800 GMT from our backyard in Gig Harbor, WA, we saw an object high and to the west reflecting silver in the sunlight. It appeared to be 50,000 ft+ MSL altitude and drifting from west to east. I assume it was somewhere over the southern Olympic Peninsula. I went into the house and got my camera with a telephoto lens and took a closer look and it revealed to be something like a high altitude research balloon. I am a professional pilot with 50+ years in commercial aviation and 17000 hours of flight time. I send this to you so as to give my opinion of what I saw in case you receive similar reports of this object in the sky. I look forward to your weekly reports on Coast to coast AM. But, I am a little bummed out in that I thought this was going to be my first ever UFO sighting. Best regards,

My girlfriend and I was camping up at Green Peter Lake. And as we scanned the night sky, we noticed that what looked like satellites were going from West to East. But then some started going in groups of 2 to 3. And this continued for at least 30 minutes. And at least 200 crafts. The lights never blinked. And not a sound to them.

There were 45 objects that we saw flying in single line formation from S to N. Some would get bright then din but each object was same distance from the 1 before it except for 2 that were next to each other. Went on 35min,have bad video.

My family and I were sitting around our bonfire. My oldest daughter (17) noticed some "planes flying" really fast. She then noted that the lights were flying too fast to be planes and they were not flashing or colored in any way. They looked exactly like stars, really far away and they flew very fast. The "stars" were flying equal distance apart. They all seemed to be coming from a southwest area, heading northeast. We live on the 45th parallel in Michigan so halfway between the equator and north pole. We saw at least 50 of these lights. At first they seemed to be moving all in a straight line coming from the same place. Then we noticed that there were other lines coming from different areas but all seemed to be headed towards the same destination. At one point we saw one that got brighter and dimmed instantly like a dimmer switch, as it was passing the north star. We recorded a video.

Kensington, CA
A line of 30-40 lights moving smoothly across the sky from west to east in single formation, evenly spaced but close together. Lights seemed slightly higher than a plane would fly and were very bright, probably yellow-green to blueish in color. The line took up the entire arc of the sky. The lights faded away one by one as they reached the horizon. There was no sound.

Saw 18 bright small lights gollowing each other in a line. Three larger bright lights in between them. All coming from a bigger light. One had three bright orbs around it. Then a huge flash. Then dimmed. Headed toward a military artillery field. Then seperated.

Broken Arrow, OK
Traveling on the creek turnpike headed north from the entrance at 193rd and aprox. 111th. Two police cars had 193rd under the over pass blocked, this caused me to take the turnpike. As I was headed north I slowed to 65mph I noticed a bright white light circular in shape to the west thinking it was Sirus, then realized it was to low and to bright. Sirus has a twinkle or could like like blinking this did not, and changed to orange, it then seemed to get bigger, as I was looking out my drivers window. Seemed it would have been over Lynn Lane area to the west, I then thought perhaps a helicopter as we get military fly overs on this route on their way to Claremore there is a base off 169, no way was it a helicopter after continuing to watch, it seemed to be keeping pace with me I speed up or slow down in maintained the same point out of my window, then I realized I was passing it and it was to my south west, I had to turn my head to see it, a pick up truck past m! e and the light passed me as if to pace the truck, then it just took off to the north west and blinked out light just turned off. I kept watching as I got closer to my exit on 31st, it re-appeared still at that distance then went out again. I exited which loops you around facing west, still watching I didnt see it anymore, then I turned looked out my passenger window to the north and there it was again this time it would have been over HWY 412 near Catoosa. I came to a stop sign looked one more time and it was gone. No idea what it was, no clouds, no other lights or stars to be seen, aircraft not flying because of the Covid-19 pandemic, I am baffled by this. I am a small business owner in Broken Arrow.

Around 10:08 p.m. I went outside with my Dog. While she was wandering, I was looking up at the night sky and noticed 2 stars moving quite fast, side by side with an off set. So I ran and grabbed my phone to try to Video tape it, if it Happens again. Because I know they're not stars. It did Happen again 5 more times. As these things are moving they get real bright {its quite amazing} and then dim low again. I saw 1 of them light up into a Triangle with bright lights kind of like a strobe. I Believe that I saw the Mother Ship, It looked like a big circle all lit up with a smaller circle at the bottom all lit up when it Strobe'd. It strobe'd 2 times . They all came from the same place and disappeared at same place. I did take 5 Videos .

Was watching sky for satellites and noticed what seemed like one traveling from southwest to northeast and one after another came over the cabinet mountains. There were no strobes or flashing lights like airlines have, also no sound at anytime. They were not in any specific formation but all were heading the same way what seemed pretty close. I’ve seen multiple satellites in the sky before but never that many so close going the same direction. Maybe they were high altitude military aircraft idk.
