Pahrump, NV
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.

Saw an incredibly bright light moving fast and all over the place with a helicopter following its every move. Sitting near Watch Hill this thing started coming toward us, with the heli following, and then completely darted into the other direction faster than any craft I've seen. Clearly the helicopter was following it. They were not search helicopters, and only one was a familiar looking light/aircraft. Clearly officials noticed it too. I sure doubt we'll every hear anything about it, but it was bizarre as can be.

I was standing outside smoking when I noticed a bright light. I then noticed a second then a third. They were flying in a straight line. Then a group of another three lughts appeared following same flight path. This happened two more times then a group of scattered lights at the back. I was unable to film lights with my phone the camera would not pick up the lights.

Altadena, CA
Hiking way up in the mountains of Altadena, around 8:30pm witnessed a total of 51 unidentified flying objects (single distant unblinking lights) traveling in a somewhat straight trajectory appearing near Orion's Belt traveling by Venus in a NW trajectory. They all were maintaining the same speed and direction one appearing after the next. My friend and I both watched this transpire over about an hour. When looking up above us,we also noted additional distant lights but traveling in several different directions.

Sierra Vista, AZ
My caretaker and I returned to my apartment after grocery shopping at Walmart.While we were unloading, I get a "feeling" to look up. I saw it coming in over our heads. She looked up and saw it cruise over Huachukah mountain. Ft. Huachukah is located there. This was quiet. It hard rigid lines like a child's drawing of a triangle. No windows, No Doors. It was not in any hurry at all. No lights on it as it was BRILLIANT FLOURECENT GREEN. Like a High powered glow sticks. Its size was like a football field. Maybe a little smaller m but it was large,quiet and Bright

Murrieta, CA
For the course of 30 minutes we witnessed what we thought was just a satellite moving across the night sky, but then shortly after (10 to 30 seconds) there was another from the same direction forming a line. There were at least thirty in a row moving west from Lake Elsinore area toward Riverside/Moreno Valley... these were small lights, moving very fast. It was very odd especially since planes are not flying at the moment. There was no sound either. After 30 minutes there was no more activity and the sky was quiet.

North Peoria, AZ
Witnessed what appeared like a satellite moving fast high in the sky. Around 30 vast moving specs one after the other some in formations of up to five some in groups of threes, and solos. All headed in a northern trajectory. Some even stopped then several seconds later disappeared then showed up again. And continues on definitely not meteors and not planes. Satellites possibly. Very strange did anyone else in Arizona see these?

Paradise and Quincy, CA
A formation of lights perfectly spaced traveling at a high rate of speed continued in a north-west direction with only small breaks in between what I would consider "Ships". Lights varied from dim to medium bright white in color. After counting up-to 30 continual light after light , I realized what I was witnessing. At looking around in the sky I did notice some lights dimmer white toward the south as if to be-watching the formation traveling south-east.They disappeared at a high rate. This was off of Pence, Rd , in Paradise ,Ca. Between 8:15 to 8:50. I then drove east to Quincy, Ca. to my residence at which time my mate confirmed the sighting as I but here in Quincy. He experience lasted more than a hour.

Lamont, CA
We noticed strange objects in the sky, didn't think nothing about it but a few minutes later it seemed as if we were being invaded. Somewhat scary. They popped up out of the same location in the sky and flew in a straight formation about 5 miles apart at the same type of speed. We counted over 100. One of the objects lit up bright almost like beaming a light. They traveled east north east towards the desert in the direction of Las Vegas. Also notified the local news.

Standing on my balcony just before the sun fully set so the sky was still lit up a bit, I was on the phone with my father. I began looking around the sky and right above me was a cluster of glowing orange orbs and they had to be about 20,000 ft up, close to planes. The instant that one orb would phase out another would light up in another spot, but there was no craft present after each light phased out. This went on for a couple of minutes, one orb disappearing and another reappearing across from it. I was on the phone but was speechless and mesmerized watching this and did not even think to take a photo or video and in fact didn’t even tell my father on the phone what I was seeing and cannot explain why other than I was just entranced. Eventually the lights stopped and were gone altogether, again no physical craft seen. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

It was not project blue beam! And it was not Venus!!!!!!!! It definitely was not star link... It was not a plane flares it wasn’t Chinese lantern it wasn’t parachute it was not weather balloon and sure as hell wasn’t a Maroge, Multiple crafts traveling in erratic directions it wasn’t streamlined they were all moving differently in the sky changing course it was not a satellite and they were definitely not aircraft they moved to quick One light “And there were tons” Traveled the equivalent of three of your palms in the sky within a second and a half, They were existent stars that were moving in different directions and there is no way their trajectory with straight. Like I said it was not airplanes It was not weather balloons and the lights were bright in the sky and moving very quickly.

Two of my friends and myself were outside in front of the house and noticed moving objects in the sky. The thing that caught our attention was how fast they were moving at how high of an altitude they were at. I have never seen any man made object move that fast being that high up. We started counting the objects as more kept coming, we counted 26 objects coming from the west heading east until we couldn't see anymore. They were all going the same speed and what looked like the same altitude. They were all to high up to make out anything other than a pin of light, they looked like stars they were so far up. I'm sure this info isn't too important but I felt like sharing it. It was a pretty exciting moment.

I looked up higher above and a white small circle orbi looking white light started going across the sky I never took my eyes off of it. It never disappeared just got to far away for me to see it .and it made no sound

I was staring at The Polaris star last night and noticed a craft, with red and white lights that I originally thought was an aircraft but it just kept hovering back and forth and I could hear a loud humming sound. I took some quite grainy video that is tough but not impossible to see!
