Phenix City, AL
My husband and I watched over 100 balls of light flight over our home from the northqest towards the south east for more than 20 minutes they were in perfect alignment making a straight line path until they disappeared one by one unto the same place in the sky. I could still see the stars around where they vanished. They were below the cloud line. It was unnerving to see so many.

Rossville, GA
We were just sitting outside and noticed shooting stars, several, we counted around twenty. They were going in a strait line from Lookout Mountain area over the city of Rossville. I would say they were satellites but I am unsure. At first I thought it could be a meteor shower. We start watch alot and Venus has been very bright in the night skit this month. It was very cloudy and cold tonight. We could see then coming from the area Venus is in and going seemingly upward in a strait path. It just looked like stars moving across the sky. We called other purple in the area who was seeing the event as well.

Montville, NJ
Very bright light. Much larger than a star I took a picture and video. It appears to have a halo effect around it. It jumps in and out so I got some good pictures. It definitely had some colors in the center. It was only there for 1 hour then moved much further back in the sky. It always appeared to have a tail that was also a bright light .

Ashland City, TN
A friend saw one light, pointed it out, and a debate ensued about whether it was a plane or satellite. It was a white light that did not blink, and was moving very quickly across the sky. No noises observed. As we concluded it was most likely a satellite, we then saw it was followed by an identical light. The second light was then followed by 9 more of the same. They followed the same trajectory and were exactly equidistant.

Nashville, TN
We observed lights traveling in some formation following each other at a high rate of speed and possibly very high altitude from southwest to northeast and also one large orb type object moving to the south west. The altitude could not be predicted in the night sky but there were no normal aircraft lights. I also called a friend miles away that confirmed the sighting that my wife and I witnessed

Rio Rico, AZ
Initially saw two evenly spaced rows of (3) rectangular shaped white lights with two additional lights at random locations above and below the rows of lights through my living room windows. The lights appeared to be about 1/2 mile away. I grabbed phone camera and walked outside for better view which took about 5 seconds. By time I got to front porch the lights had disappeared. There was no noise which would be expected from a motorized aircraft. I then noticed six evenly spaced lights about 20-30 miles north of our house. They then broke off formation and two of the lights turned south again. They travelled back in front of our house at a distance of 3-5 miles away. After traveling about 5 miles south of our house they again turned north and continued on a similar path until they were no longer visible. I witnessed much of this using binoculars and with magnification could see both white and red lights as they made turns. The other four lights appeared to be making East to west sweeps about 30 miles north of Rio Rico. As the distant lights made 180 degree turns I could hear the faint sound of engines when they turned away from my position. Closest thing I have ever experienced to this is witnessing stealth aircraft during my 30 year tenure as a military contractor.

Lincolnton, GA
I had just come home from work. My grandpa went outside and said he saw a bunch of satellites. My grandma followed him and they said they counted about 30 UFOs flying all at the same distance apart. They were going too fast to be satellites my grandma said. They saw other planes fly by but it did not look the same.

Neptune, NJ
A bright light came in from the East, traveling at about the speed of a commercial jet around dusk. It stopped and remained in the same place in the sky for at least two hours. As the sky grew dark, it looked like a star. Using a neighbor’s telescope, we were able to see a round object with a band of lights around the outer edge. They appeared to be dozens of individual LED lights, very bright.

Tumwater, WA
Multicolored light formation, with a white background which at first seemed like a little part of a rainbow very close to the setting sun but on looking at it carefully it was just confined to that area and had a white background plus it also had a different kind of illumination to it but definitely a very pleasing thing to look at Was seen on the sky right over my home

while looking up at the stars last night, 6 of them began moving in straight lines, hundreds of miles in lenghth, vertically, then horizontally, the right angled turns impossible to make with known aircraft.

Gilbert, AZ
A bright white light flying from east to west as the sun set around 7 pm. I thought initially it was a meteor due to the speed and the fact it was higher than the clouds. Traveled from above me to about 1/3 to the western horizon when it just faded out. I was disappointed that the meteor just fizzled out when all of a sudden, the object reappeared at a standstill and very bright with multiple colors flashing from it. It hovered for a few mins at the same high altitude then changed to a very bright red. Soon after it darted in an S-shaped fashion to the south and perhaps to a lower altitude, still very bright red when it stopped again. At this point, it split into 2 individual craft, both red in color. One flew east and lower, the other moved what seemed to be straight down where I lost sight of it behind a tree. Within in a few moments, the one light I could still see started to display multiple colors as it hovered, and then disappeared. At this point, I no longer saw either craft.

Looked out my deck toward shorewood beach and saw a black shaped boomerang come out of water with a man in a suit of some kind hovering below craft. Boomerang looked to be black transparent and was floating like a balloon up ,almost like gently then speed of tremendous speed up to the west was gone wierd ,looked like it was cloaked.

Central Point, OR
My wife and I witnessed an evenly spaced formation of high flying objects moving from a northeast direction moving to a southwest direction. I initially observed the objects and then called my wife outside to check out the unusual amount of craft. These craft were about the height of a satellite however, there were way too many of these craft to be a satellite which I have only seen race though the night sky one or two at a time, not dozens of evenly spaced craft. After about 20 minutes there came some other craft, but that group only included a remaining 4 lagging craft. Note: I could not visually observe any blinking light as would be expected from aircraft. that is all.

Tonopah, AZ
33.44020°N / 113.038°W, approximately 4/13/20 Went camping with friends at Saddle Mountain near Tonopah, AZ. Around 4am there were several lights moving across the sky. Just small, unblinking lights, moving too fast to be satellites. When I became aware of the first one, it was because the light seemed to get brighter for a second then faded back to the original brightness (similar in brightness and seeming distance as that of a far away airplane. But again, NOT blinking and no sound at all) as it moved across the sky. It faded and then reappeared in the same spot I first saw it, repeating the same trajectory across the sky and pattern of becoming brighter for a moment. The object wasn’t by itself; there were others that came from different directions. Same size. Small white, steady moving lights.

SeaTac, WA
I want to report that at 3:31am, the morning of April 13th, 2020 I observed through my bedroom window some strange lights. There about 5 or more bright lights which seemed to be milling around in a clockwise manner. They were so bright it reminded me of a beacon type light. But they may have been at a distance of 10 miles away. Although this seemed strange I did not go outside to investigate further as I don’t feel safe outside at night. About 4am I looked again and saw the moon but not any more of the lights. I live about 3 miles east of SeaTac airport and wonder if anyone that works in their control tower might have seen something. I live alone, am 87 years old and spent my working life working with mechanical things such as bus engines for Metro and ship engines in the Navy.

Elk River, MN
Was driving home towards Elk River from St. Paul area around a quarter to 11pm. We are currently under "Shelter in Place" order from gov due to pandemic. Weather conditions were cold 32 degrees, cloudy skies, with consistent winds from NW direction at 12mph with gusts higher. I decided to take a back route home that takes me off primary highway 10, most direct. My detour has me now heading due North through farm country. No traffic etc. As I come around a corner I see a very dull bluish white light high up in the sky, low enough in the clouds that whatever was illuminated was also lighting up the clouds around it. Was similar to clouds passing in front of the moon only much smaller and dimmer. I took note but really paid no attention until a few minutes later it was now below the clouds. It looked like a big bright whitish orange orb. Honestly if it wasn't cloudy out I wouldn't of thought it was anything other than a planet or bright star. Seeing this really got me curious. I drove a few miles to an area I could safely pull over at and turned off the car. I watched this thing for about 5 minutes and it didn't ever seem to move. Brightness would change slightly but if you weren't paying attention you'd miss it. It seemed so "normal" I had to try understanding what was looking at. Took out StarWalk 2 app on phone, nope no star or planet in that direction. Plus, there were no other stars visible as skies still cloudy. I checked a fight traffic map, no current flights anywhere close to my location. This pandemic has basically eliminated all air traffic in my area. There was no sound at all. It really didn't appear initially to be moving. I decided to drive towards it to get better visual evidence. That's when I really couldn't make sense of it. I took first left available that would bring me headed West, the general direction I initially saw it. Heading west I could still see the object clearly but it was starting to look like it was getting farther away from. I pulled over again, got back out, still no crazy movements. It looked still but I was now 10 miles farther west and still didn't seem any closer. Took first video there. I went full on Chase mode, just trying to figure out what this was. Drove another 5 miles NW to a gas station where in took second video trying to decide if this thing was slowly moving west or was I just in need of solid rest. It still looked like a bright star but was getting closer and closer to the horizon and tree line. I followed this object as far as I could west, out of the city lines and into an empty vastness of farm land between tree lined hills. I got about 25 miles and it just seemed to slowly get farther and farther away. Harder in tried "catching up" to it the more it seemed to elude me. When I pulled over to record and observe it would just sit there. I sat out of car for almost 10 minutes thinking it would fade off into distance but didnt. That kept making me feel like getting back in pursuit would bring me closer for better visual. It never did. After one hour and 20 minutes of following this light, it fell behind a distant tree line. Throughout entire experience the only observable changes I can describe would be that it started out bluish white, relatively dim, and scattered (meaning it appeared like ambient lighting in clouds). After that it was below cloud line and "solid" singular orb shape. Bright, still bluish/ white. From that it went to a whitish orange color that would dim at times. Last 20 minutes it was orange and would almost appear to "shimmer" like giant stars do in the sky.

We were seating in front of the house something we never do. As we were talking I was looking up it was windy and cloudy next thing you know 3 big white lights appear on V shape formation heading south on a 190 heading. They were very big and you can see all 3 through the clouds until they split and were gone.
