While watching TV I noticed a bright light out the front door. After a few minutes I went and got a pair of binoculars to observe the light. This light was in the western sky and appeared to slightly change shapes. My wife came and observed the light and we both went outside for a better look. This bright light also had smaller/dimmer lights that changed from white to red to green from time to time. We then got into our truck and drove 1 mile to the town green to get a better view point and observed this light for approx. 20 mins before going back home. When we arrived home the light was still in the same spot until approx. 3-4 minutes later when we noticed it slowly moving north before disappearing past a neighbor's house.

I saw the ISS then looked further west and noticed four lights, about the intensity of stars, moving from North to South trailing each other. There were at least four visible at one time, but as one disappeared to the south, another would appear and travel with the rest. There was a constant light, no noise or flashing navigation lights and I already spotted the ISS which went through the big dipper and traveled the opposite direct, so I am wondering what these were.

While looking towards North sky spotted small starlike light moving from west to east threw big dipper handle constillation. First light appeared moving very fast high in atmosphere, then came another light moving in same direction about 6-7 seconds behind staggered a little to the south. Then more appeared staggered '.'.' In this type of formation about 5-8 seconds apart. Turned on flightradar24 app and saw lower flying aircraft on radar but not the lights flying above them. These were not space x satellites. The last 5 lights flying west to east dissappeared into the night sky as if flying out towards outer space and just dissappeared. Objects made no noise. Could hear lower flying aircraft that were appearing on flightradar24 app.

No cloud coverage present. 28 White ball shaped lights appearing to come from Orion's belt from right side star. Traveling to Big Dipper in line formation. When lights reached the Big Dipper, they seemed to disappear. Speed and distance between the lights seemed to give the impression that they were evacuating. Watched from driveway on East side of Aurora, IL.

This video was created with pictures and video taken on a Cannon 77D and a Optecka 1000mm lens setup. Pictures and video taken at the location of the Rock Lake Pyramids, Lake Mills Wisconsin at 9:11pm on April 9th, 2020. At approximately 30 million miles, Venus has a very similar size and interior structure as the Earth. The Iron Nickel core that it has would be perfect for catching a Comet. By using Torsion Field Plasma Driven craft of 3 different origins, It appears Spacecraft are working together to pull Venus into somethings orbit. Pass over pass you can see the circular energy fields the craft drags along. They work behind Venus cover a vast amount of distance in a short period of time. To catch a Comet? Is there something big headed toward the Earth? Yes there is! Venus will make its closest approach on May 13th 2020 and will be with us until June 25th 2020. “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” ― Nikola Tesla

About 9:15 pm got up to the bathroom . Look out window saw a bright light. It was to close to be a helicopter. I know what a life flight helicopter sounds like. No police Helicopter and no spot light. No sound and was stationary in sky . One was Northeast the other was southeast higher in the sky. Got my phone and recited it. The light was a very white bright. It would flash off and on. The two look identical in shape and size. With my i- phone it looked round orb. But with the naked eye it appeared start like. I could see other Star like Orion’s Belt. And Plants twinkling. But they were not as bright as these . I watch for awhile. Then went back again and they were still there. Got up again around 23:00 and they were gone.

Around 8:57 P.M a large bright light was north east over the Spokane river near the mouth of the Columbia river also known as lake Roosevelt, two rivers. This light was a lot brighter then anything else in the sky. It had no blinking lights and hovered in one location then would alter direction to the East very quickly then would return to its original hovering location then would tend to go back and forth in very quick moments but always return to the original spot. It tended to dash to the East very quickly more often then any other direction before returning to its original location. To me If I could say how far it moved to the human eye I would say it moved one foot. But not knowing the distance it was from me, that 1 foot could be thousands of feet. I’ve gotten some footage and when it’s zoomed in there a clear as it looks round objects with strobe lights inside the circle. Picture a shooting target but around the bullseye is flashing lights. Keep in mind when just looking with your eyes there was zero light blink effect. Once zoomed with my camera is when it reveled the shape and strobe affect. ~Please contact only by email~

It was very bright, like a UFO, and flashing, and definitely bigger than a star. We noticed some red flashes around the white glowing light from the object in the sky. Perhaps it was a star or planet, but we're not sure.

From my 6 story building on my rooftop i was looking west towards the sunset. I spotted what i thought to be a shooting star but came to an abrupt halt. A bright light flying at incredibly high speed and smooth maneuvers, ascending and descending and banking. The light would dim and brighten. It looked to be over the Hudson River at approximately 23rd street. The sun was setting although the sky was still bright and very pink. Within flight paths of many planes and helicopters this object had only one constant light. No flashing or colored lights. It looked to be under 2k altitude.

Today I was laying flat on my back in my backyard practicing some breathing exercises and watching the thin wispy clouds blow with the breeze. Anyways, the skies were mostly clear, blue backdrop and I was laying with my head north and my head south when a large, white cylindrical object cpught my eye. It moved in a perfect South to North trajectory directly over me. I could see it was a large white cylinder, with some black details on the white cylindrical body that I couldn't make out. Can you spot satalites during the day? And clear enough to make out the shape? It took approx 15 seconds to completely cross the sky from South to North and it seemed to be much higher than the cloud level. It caught me off guard and I tried to catch it on video but was afraid to look away and then not find it again. If I hadn't been staring at the sky already, I would not have seen it. And the speed alone didn't give me much time either. I did not see any light on this obje! ct.

Two friends and I were out riding a few dirt roads near my house and looked up to see what appeared to be a partial rainbow in the sky, just west of the sun. Upon observing it, we noticed a small orange sphere to the left of the "partial rainbow", and just above the tree line. I assumed it was venus reflecting light of the sun. I took several photos of the unexplained objects, but it wasnt until I got home that I realized the orange sphere had darted upward about 200ft,and then shot left 1000 ft just below the partial rainbow! Once it was located below,the partial rainbow turned almost WHITE it became so bright, then the sphere was gone!

Both myself and my boyfriend were looking over the security camera tape minutes after the light was caught on our surveillance camera. After breaking it down frame by frame we still are stumped. We have a few security cameras. This one faces south from our bedroom window.

I looked outside my window to get fresh and cool air when I looked up at the stars, few stars were in the air tonight and I saw one out in the distance, something odd had happened about it though, it was flashing. There had never been anything like a tower flashing in the night in that direction so it couldn't be a tower. I have an account with a flight tracking organization (flight aware) which showed no aircraft even flying in Massachusetts at the moment, so it couldn't be an aircraft in the air. So the only other thing it could be was some sort of UFO, I got binoculars to further look and saw it had red and green lights that were flashing, I couldn't tell the shape but looked kind of like a circle/traditional UFO shape. I then got my camera to try and zoom in and record it, I could zoom in and did but It looked like it had moved out of the frame, as if it was flying, although when I stopped looking through the camera and looked out the window i saw it was! still there, so I don't know how far away it is but it certainly has a bright light.

It was about 10 minutes to midnight, I was sitting in my chair in my living room and looked out toward the east and saw an object with very bright lights. It was moving fairly slowly in a southern direction. I first saw it over the golf course (east of our home) where there very few trees and continued to watch it as it progressed south beyond some trees. It was moving horizontal to the ground. I moved to the kitchen window and then the dining room to get a better view of it and saw there was a second one, same shape, as if following it, in the same direction or path. The shape was unusual, it had a center light with what appeared to be a spoke-like pattern of straight lights extending from the center light. All the bright lights were the same size. The “spokes” or straight lines of light could be described as being at the 12:00, 2:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00, 10:00 positions on a clock, each line having 4 or maybe 5 lights in a straight row extending out from its center. I couldn’t see any other shape due to the dark sky. Both objects were of the exact same design and the lights did blink. There was no noise that I could hear. They proceeded south then arched toward the west. I did not see them increase speed or slow down when they were visible to me. There is an airport in Rockford and we normally do hear airplanes overhead as well as helicopters, but these objects were large and unlike any airplane lights or helicopter lights I have ever seen. They were in the sky much lower to the ground than any plane or helicopter I have seen fly overhead. My husband was sleeping and I did not wake him, so I was the only one that I know of that witnessed them. It would have taken at least the size of a fifty cent piece to have covered one of them from my view. They both appeared to be the same size. I do not drink alcohol at all and am not taking prescription medications. I am a retired registered nurse. I do wear glasses with a very slight correction for distance and had them on during this sighting. I did try to take a video of the lights, but only had my mobile phone camera, so it didn’t turn out well at all. It appears in the video as a sphere of light with no spokes showing in the picture. I also took it through the window, which has a screen so all I can see if a bright round sphere of light with screen wire squares dancing about in the video. The video was time stamped at 11:57pm and is 15 seconds long. Unfortunately I couldn’t hold it perfectly still so the light’s movement is probably not accurate as to its actual movement through the sky. We had the house alarm set, so I didn’t open the back door to step outside for a better video. This morning I did describe what I saw to my husband and he viewed the video. He checked our outdoor security camera and backed it up to 11:45 – midnight. At 11:53 it did pick up a bright light in the north eastern direction that was moving south seen through the trees.

Saw circular object in the sky holding steady which did not appear to be a star. I filmed it and watched it for a while until it started to lift up and disappear. I then watched the video and it appear to be constantly slightly moving in the sky during the video and the bottom was lit up.
