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.

Van Buren, AR
We stepped outside and when we looked to the west we noticed a dull light moving what appeared to be south East. As we continued to watch we noticed every 5-10 seconds an additional moving light would appear. They followed an identical path. We watched for over 20 minutes and you could see 5-10 at any time following the exact same path. The speed stayed consistent with all of them. They may have been drones. We checked the app for flights and it indicated none were above us. Whatever it was is strategic and purposeful. A week or two ago we saw similar lights following the exact same path.

Lansing, MI
At first I thought it was just a plane, but then I realized there's no airport in the direction it was going toward; it was flying toward the ground on the Southside of Lansing, MI. It had no wings and made no noise. It was shaped like a disk and had two white lights and one red light. It was moving at a very fast pace. I tried to take a picture but was unsuccessful because of how fast it was moving. About an hour later, the other witness and I both felt vibrations coming from our house. Our dog started barking at the door so I went to check outside again and the UFO was in the sky again heading towards Holt,MI. I tried to take a video but it wouldn't show up on my camera at all.

Sacramento, CA
Seen 8 lights hovering around the Sacramento skies. Flying around erratically, but spaced apart. Very cool sight to have witness. The objects didn’t have distinct colors other than if being white, similar in color as stars in the skies.

Sisters, OR
Very unusual, 11 bright non-blinking objects similar to usual satellites were observed trailing one another from southwest to northeast at 9:10 p.m. just east of Sisters, Oregon. Was sitting in my hot tub observing the night sky as I usually do. All objects passed by within 3 minutes, some closer to one another, others more separated, and two pairs side by side. Atypical trajectory, as most satellites here pass south to north or visa versa. In the past I have seen two such objects and then rushed inside to get online and discover that the space station and the trailing Space Shuttle had just passed over, but this was something else!

Arcata, CA
Between 9:00-9:20 PM, constant string of mostly single file, but some paired, very bright satellite-type objects, very, very high... like satellite-high, cruising at different speeds, some slow, some fast, some not moving at all, then starting again. A constant show. Headed E NE over Humboldt County, ARCATA/Fickle Hill Area. Not low and plane like whatsoever. Maybe a major military convoy headed somewhere? Most amazing thing I’ve ever seen... ever! Myself and others from four other neighboring homes watched in astonishment. Thanks, whoever/whatever you are! It was wonderful!!

Calabasas, CA
Objects were very small, white lights in the night sky moving at a very fast pace. Not usual aircraft lights, no sound and were very high up. There were approximately 13 or more spaced apart equally traveling from a northern direction southbound. The last one seen emitted a flash of light. Approximate time frame from seeing the first one to the last one was about 5 minutes. I have good knowledge of aircraft and how they look in the sky at most altitudes and there were other aircraft in the area as normal. This sighting was ongoing lights at equal lengths, one after another at an extremely high altitude almost not visible to the eye. I even checked Flight Radar 24 and there were no aircraft on the radar in this particular space.

Quartzsite, AZ
My husband and I are retired seniors who spend the winter months dry camping in our RV out in the southern Arizona desert. Totally off grid. At night the sky is amazing. We have no lighting to interfere with viewing. Our tv program ended at 9 pm and my husband Carl went outside. He called to me a couple of minutes later to Come See! So I went out and what we watched for the next 20+ minutes really amazed us. Venus, that beautiful brilliant lady, was to the west of our location. Up about 45-50 degrees from horizon. Coming from barely to left of and just below Venus and traveling in a very straight line was a well lite dot, much like a small distant star. The "dot" traveled from south or left to north or right (Venus being west) from just below and south of Venus to north of Venus... now the odd thing was, that the dot began at one specific place, just south of Venus and traveled to a specific place north of Venus and vanished... then another one came into sight.... same trajectory, and vanished at the same place the first one we saw did.... then another and another and another.... for over 20 minutes. Some were a little higher but still below Venus and others a little lower... all coming into view at the same place and vanishing at the same place... like coming into a room through one door on the left, crossing the room and leaving though another door on the right. It was very odd indeed. The space between entering and exiting was about the width of two hands, if you extended your arms fully out with hands up like in the stop position... two hands wide would have been the distance from seeing it to it vanishing. The time it took to travel that distance was about 5-6 seconds. If you count one one-thousand, two one-thousand, three one-thousand… it was 5 or 6. It was way up there and just a tiny dot... so didn't seem unusually fast. Wasn't a zoom or flash... just a steady here it comes and there it's gone... here's another and it's gone. it looked like one was entering as one was exiting... we have no idea when this began, but while we watched we lost count after 23 or so. So easily over 30. We sky watch often and planes or satellites or the space station can usually be watched as they travel all the way across the sky. That's what made this siting so unusual. These all began at the same place and vanished at the same place... they were not visible before the entry point or beyond the vanishing point. Since there is very low air traffic at this time... the movements of these were seen right away. They were too far away to detect shapes, hear anything or see any detail. Just coming into view, then vanishing... Any way.... that's what we saw and wondered if anyone else saw them as well. Thank you for all you do. Have been listening to your reports for a very, very long time. Sure miss Art Bell....

Concord, CA
On April 16 at approximately 2100 hours I took my dogs out to the backyard to relieve themselves. I was outside on the patio facing 39 degrees northeast when I saw a light in the sky moving at a high rate of speed. It was traveling from southwest to a northeasterly direction and appeared to be at a high elevation that was difficult to determine. It was followed by 6-8 other similar objects at equal distance and all in alignment. This formation was followed by several other formations heading in the same direction, but on different linear paths. In all there were about 4-5 linear formations. Each with 4-6 objects in alignment. There were also other objects heading in the same direction but were outside of the formations and appeared to be solo or providing flank security. At the end of the large formation which consisted of all the smaller formations were a couple of more objects that appeared to be providing rear security. The last object moved overhead at a! pproximately 2125 hours. It should be noted that within the first minute and once I realized I was witnessing a phenomenon I called for my wife to come outside and she brought my adult children to observe also. While we were observing this phenomenon we also witnessed other lights in the southeast sky moving south southeast.

Looking into the night sky above the north star, approximately 25 UFO's were spotted in a spaced single formation traveling faster and higher than a jet with no flashing or colored lights. These were higher in altitude than the path jets take overhead and were not in the flight path taken by most planes in this area. These UFO'S were dim white, fast moving lights.

My husband and I along with two nearby neighbors noticed a string of lighted objects evenly spaced traveling through space. Planes were coming over our home on path to PDX these were higher than the planes. All moving at the same speed. We saw two large bright lights stationary with a red flashing light as well.

At around 9pm my dad has told me to go outside . We had seen one fairly large looking star turning red and white . We had thought it was a helicopter but it was moving up and down side and side very fast . We think looked around and seen there was 10-15 other moving like stars moving fast . Some pausing and some were moving up and down . The others were much farther away though then the one that was turning red.

Went out with my wife to smoke a cig and visually witnessed 30+ unknown aircrafts flying in single line formation at high altitude along with a loud humming noise, this went on for about 10-15 minutes, don't know how many flew by prior to my wife and I went out. At about 5 minutes in to watching these aircrafts a commercial flight passed by and you can still here the humming over the commercial aircraft engine.

Line of lights moving across the sky NE direction in a line. Pretty sure they was Starlink Satellites.

OK as I looked up I know what satellites look like when I spot one in the sky and how fast they're moving and how they do not look like aircraft that are blinking these were going at an extremely fast pace 1 after another and then look to me like military jets were actually chasing them and then more followed and then more followed. It was not the SPACEX lights it was something else

I went out to have a smoke around 8:45 pm tonight. sitting on my front porch facing south, I noticed a light in the sky going through the douglas fir tree branches directly in front of our home. As I watched another appeared. Then another. I got up and moved htrough to get a clear view. As I scanned the sky I noticed it was a line of lights, coming from the south and slowly turning east and appearing to go higher into the sky and disappearing to the east. I quit counting at a dozen, and they were STILL going over one after the other when I finished my smoke (after approximately ten minutes of viewing time) and came in to make this report! Pretty much evenly spaced, with some speeding up and over taking the one in front of it at really close range, sometimes looking like they were going to collide! It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen! I wondered if they were still going so I went outside and I'll be damned, they were still going! My wife even went out an! d looked! Could they be Elon Musk's satellites? But would satellites overtake each other? My wife asked if it could be military? But more than a dozen? And goingo over for now 25 minutes? Weird!! We used to live near Mt. Home airbase and Fairchild is in Spokane...never seen military aircraft overtake each other as they glide slowly across the sky! My wife just came in (9:17) and she said they're still going? what gives? I am the Mayor of Plummer, so this is no hoax. You can contact me for validation. I don't have anything that would take a picture that far up in the sky. Can do a map of our location and approximate direction of lights upon request.

Citrus Heights, CA
Starting at 9:00PM us 4 saw 3 star looking formations in shape of an acute triangle moving over the sky in unison perfectly spaced from each other. Then following the triangle came about 20 more star formations followed in a straight line perfectly spaced. Then a pattern of straight ufos move along with triangles. It happened for 20 minutes in one direction then they would start in another direction. They kept coming like they were in orbit together lasting an hour. We found out they were not satellites.

Almost appeared as bright Satellites moving in a straight line formation evenly spaced. Just above Venus in the night sky, heading in a Northern direction.. Counted 42 over a 20 minute period.

Wapato, WA
I was sitting in the hot tub, and a moving light caught my eye at 30 degrees elevation from my vantage point. Then I saw more of them following. They first were close to a few hundred yards, then as the string lengthened they became miles apart. It was ultimately like a string of white Christmas lights. No blinking. Solid white. I watched 20 or so, there may have been more before I noticed them. They moved about the speed of general airplane at around 3000-5000ft. I ran inside to get my night vision camera (sionyx aurora), I recorded another 30 or so pass by. They were on the same linear flight path, approximately moving from Mt. Adams towards Hanford. The last one in the string did a deviation from the path and went strait over the top of me moving swiftly, from when I saw him above south White Swan to where I could not see him over HWY 241, the distance is about 34 miles and he did it in about 60 seconds, the math of this equates to 2040mph. No sound. They! were simply bright lights in the sky, brighter than a star. My camera did not record though, which is embarrassing. Maybe I didn't hit the rec button correctly. There was commercial aviation, I saw 3 regular planes, 2 of which had near misses on their normal paths, I thought they were going to hit the crafts. I am a USN trained observer.
