Sandy, UT
Wife and I are in hot tub and lights flying North! We thought it was a satellite. They are still going. Roughly 20 so far and all continuing in a straight line. Some are stopping and turning now. Cannot be this many satellites. Some seem brighter than others. One just disappeared completely. Thinking these must be ufo’s. They appear to be in a circle now across the sky coming in a path. This is weird!! Came from West to East according to the wife!

Immensely bright circular light seen in NW direction. Appeared to flicker ever so slightly. Moved extremely slow to the right and further in distance within the 45 minute duration. Then suddenly vanished beyond view. I have a picture but it was taken from my phone and quality is not very good.

Eagle Creek, OR
Watching for satellites I noticed two lights flying in a fixed formation, heading NE, followed by a third in the same direction, and a few seconds later a fourth. The fifth light that had been stationary and I had thought was a star and it began to head SE then slightly changing direction eventually disappearing. A few minutes later I watched two more in a fixed formation heading E and the eighth heading NE a minute after that. There was no noise associated with any of the lights and compared to satellites I have seen in the past and those last night, these lights were much brighter and moving very quickly.

Light. When we first noticed the object in the northwest sky it faded in and out. This occurred numerous times. Although the object seemed to disappear, it returned ~ from a dull white color to a glowing ball of white. Upon using our binoculars, we discovered that the object was not always circular. At times the object glowed red on the top with 'fingers' of green, blue, yellow. It remained in one position for approximately 17 minutes eventually fading from our sight behind a grove of trees.

We 4 were outside smoking a cigarette, and we look up and see what appears to be a satellite. Then we realize that it is flying north in sequential order, and we watch at least 150+ go by in a straight line. They appeared to be at least 40,000 feet up. We saw a few more fleet go by after the few hundred steady stream, and these 20 or so quickly maneuvered from due north to south and south west directions. We were using binoculars and could see that it had two lights, one on each side of a darkened body. The final ship at the end of the fleet, shot off its rocket boosters and sped up incredulously. It was a fascinating, amazing, yet eerie as hell sight. We called a friend working out in Palo Cedro, about 30 minutes east of us, and this person could witness this event as well, and could see even clearer than us due to less light pollution and no tree lines. We were all wondering what the cause of this event was. WE guessed maybe 300 ships were seen total and e! ven more formations happening. Two people from our group have driven out somewhere with less lights to see if they can further witness any event happening. I dont usually believe in UFOs but i tried to google what i saw because we were all so stunned and it lead me to this site. We tried to take video but our phones couldn't capture this event even though you could clearly see this event happening with the naked eye. Something was preventing our binocs from fully focusing on the aircraft.

Many people in Ar River Valley reporting as many as 50 lights flying extremely high altitude, described as Satellites. I saw one look to have bright flashes show up 3 times behind the light. Similar to chafing or quick bright explosions...

Nampa, ID
I looked up at the sky see the stars and suddenly I thought I was dizzy because it it looked like everything was moving. Other witness looked up and and said those lights are moving. There was no noise at all and they just kept coming one after the other after the other not always in a perfect line or order sometimes two at a time side by side and they just kept coming they weren't moving particularly fast they were not flashing lights lights and a couple of times I noticed that some of them were going the opposite way and one time it looked like the circled around then after about 15 minutes they were gone. Only at one time did I see them all in a line but then that changed and then they were just all gone a couple of times it actually looked like they were slowing down almost at a standstill right over the top of where we were in Nampa Idaho very strange

Many lights traveling in linear motion at a fast pace. No sound. Grouped together at first then spread all over the sky. Stopped and appeared to be stars but upon closer inspection some moved in circular motion and some disappeared and continued to move.

My wife were walking in between properties on rout 66 when we spotted 24 Air craft in US air space. Spotted flying east over Searcy county Arkansas 4/16/2020 between 33,000 and 42,000 feet and approximately 4 to 6 knots apart. They are silent and large at cruising speeds of 475 to 500 knots. istance of separation five knots approximated speed based on time pass Time = (21:29.00 to 21:41)

While looking north I witnessed 3 dim starlike lights traveling from west to east in a triangular configuration. These were followed by 21 similar lights in single file traveling in what appeared to be the same direction and speed. They were spaced approximately one hand width apart held at arms length. They were observed to be close to the same distance above the horizon as Venus. 3 Of the objects flared to almost the brightness of Venus briefly. I was near a running brook during this observation so it's difficult to say for sure if the objects made noise.

Texarkana, TX
Every 12-15 seconds there was another ufo that appeared in the sky around the same area. Some in a straight line, some in a more curved projectory. We watched them all appear and disappear in the same areas. My wife started recording, but the recording was missing 10 min later, after we went in to collect ourselves.

A bright light was seen in the sky, brighter than stars around it. The light itself was lower in the sky than the stars, but higher than airplanes flying. It hovered in place, but would move around back and forth, up and down. My parents also saw it, they looked through binoculars at it, which they saw it take on a snake form and dart around in the sky; and then it would stop again and the snake form would go away back to just the light. The light would scan the sky, back and forth. There was also a hazy mist around the object, which wasn’t seen around the stars or planes flying. After about an hour, the light looked as if it turned around and flew away. It got dimmer and dimmer, until it wasn’t visible anymore.

Sachse, TX
Observed on the night of April 16, 2020, at approximately 9:25 pm to 9:40 pm central time: 26 star like objects passed over head. The objects could be seen two at a time. Spacing was approx. 10 degrees or 20 seconds to 30 seconds apart moving in a East North East direction. Brightness of the objects were equal to dimmest star in the sky. Venus was visible at about 40 degrees above the western horizon. The objects became visible near Venus and remained so for approx. 20 degrees. Object numbers 16 & 17 became very bright (white) then dimmed, all in a matter of one to two seconds. The brightness increased to the equivalent of the brightest star in the sky. Later, checking for similar reporting on Nuforc, I found that Star-link satellites could be what I saw. Even though this may be the answer, I do wonder why two of the objects increased in brightness.

Continuous line of 4 satellite-like objects moving steadily and evenly-spaced across the sky west of us heading north. Then 12 more in groups of of 2-3 heading north. Also 3 more on east side of us heading south. (("Starlink" satellites??)) Wife and I watched for about 15 minutes total time. Then they were all gone.

I seen 27 starlike lights moving across the sky. One by one about a minute apart. I didn’t see exactly where they came from as they were appearing over the roof of my house. They were moving from SW to NE before disappearing with a very faint vapor or something.

I was observing Venus when one single solid red light appeared in the sky. I thought it was a plane or a helicopter but then another solid red light appeared right next to the first one, then another, for a total of 5. They traveled across the sky going south along the coastline and diapered from my view. There was no sound. The lights were in a straight line, horizontal. I tried to video but my phone did not capture the lights.

Snohomish, WA
We saw at least 30 single lights on the same flight path over Snohomish moving north. It was not a satellite link since they were staggered and spaced too far apart. It took 15-20 minutes for all the lights to pass over. There was also no sound and they were very high in the sky.
