San Bernardino, CA
As my cousin and I were outside on the porch staring at the Big Dipper and all of a sudden a little light next to the Big Dipper broke off into two separate lights dancing with each other circling each other and intertwining in mid flight. Really unusual movements for it to be a jet or a plane. After the lights were circling each other, the two lights began to head west but now they are flying parallel to each other off into the distance.

Moreno Valley, CA
47 year old male, born and raised in general area. Former army reservist, former police officer and correctional officer. My house is in an area that is elevated compared to the rest of the city, and my back yard can oversee the scope or span of several cities. I always take my dog outside for a potty trips, several times daily. I always look at the stars and scenery at night as I wait for my dog to finish her business. I am very familiar with the landscape of stars in relation to their position in the sky, as I stated I look at them daily at night. I had noticed three not seen before lights that appeared to look like stars in the sky. They looked like part of the star scape, but I felt they looked odd based off their formation and distance to one another. Visually they appeared to be in proximity of being over the unincorporated part of Riverside and the Lake Matthews area. Going back to factors that caused my attention, were that the 3 lights or star like ! lights, were equal distance to each other, but not that far apart for being stars. The 3 lights appeared to be part of the star scape at first glance. The lights were not only equal distance in width, but also on the same plane horizontally. That is probably what stood out to me most. They looked like 3 separate stars but strangely on the same plane. I asked my adult son to come outside and told him and pointed out, those 3 stars are never in the sky (as I look daily). We watched for 10 minutes. Nothing changed. I thought “okay” maybe they are stars and for whatever reason they are visible today and were not visible to me in the past. This was about 8pm “ish” at night. I then went inside. I came back out at about 830pm just to check on the 3 lights again. The 3 lights that had appeared to be stars, were now gone. All the other stars in the sky were still visible as normal, but the 3 star like lights had completely vanished. There was no change in weather etc. in that span o! f time. I brought my adult son back outside for confirmation. ! We both agreed that the 3 lights had vanished.

My husband and I were out stargazing during the meteor shower. We saw a triangular craft flying south to north. It had three lights that were dim. One on each point in a triangle shape, or it was three aircraft flying at the exact same rate of speed in a triangular formation. It was flying much faster than the average airplane and it made no noise. It was very dark against the night sky. My husband suspects it was some kind of military aircraft. It was so dark that it was hard to notice at all. It almost looked like a shadow going across the sky.

Then Sunday and Monday it was around Torrance beach and hermosa beach. Then last night when I check the camera At Surfline app. Today at Wednesday April 29 202012:08 AM It was now at Venice beach where the bioluminescent is. When I saw it it was flying weird up and down slow and fast most of the time it was still just floating around. There was a electric zingling kinda of sound never heard it before. It was a very bright yellow light.

My girlfriend and I were getting in our car in the drive way. We both looked up to see a steady stream of individual 50+ lights equally distances apart she told me to grab my gun knowing it has a 9x scope on it. I grab it and point it at the brightest of te lights and saw a triangular shape with a mint and a bright light in the very center

We saw and counted about 100 extremely fast moving bright lights in the sky. There is no way there were a plane or satellite. There was zero sounds or noises. The speeds were unbelievably fast. We saw one light coming down were we were gathered. It was actually completely metallic chrome silver but in a spherical shape. We all could see what look like humans wearing plain colored clothing but they looked too perfect and they were smiling at us. We all think they were aliens.

My adult son and I were looking for satellites in the sky from our backyard when all of a sudden we see a triangular shaped object (one light at the front and two in the back in each corner with black mass in between the lights) flying extremely fast across the sky. He pointed it out and I immediately saw it and we watched it until it was no longer visible. It was flying northwest then disappeared into the night sky.

We witnessed 10-12 formation lights in the sky. They were perfectly apart from each other. There was one moving a little faster at the end of the formation.

We were outside finishing yard work due to the sun coming down and one of our 6 year old twins noticed a light flying overhead. My husband and I watched and didn’t see any flashing lights as we would normally see on airplanes. It had a steady white light. Then as that one kept flying we noticed another appeared behind it. Then another and another and another. Each flew in what looked like the exact same latitude longitude path of the preceding flying object. We could only see about 4-5 at one time in the sky before the next one came and the furthest out of view range heading eastward. They were flying with even space between them. We sat on the ground watching as more and more appeared out of the western sky. We attempted to take video on our iPhones but because it was so dark out it only showed black. We waited until the last one flew passed. I am estimating that it was between 20-30 flying objects. The shape was not clear as it was dark and they appeared t! o be high up and all we could make out was each individual light. No noise was heard.

Earlier this evening at approximately 8:30 p.m. in Antioch, California, I got on my bike and rode to my neighbors house to hang out..he was working on a car in his driveway so I got off my bike and sat on the curb. I looked up at the night sky and I noticed what looked like very faint satelite. Instead of just one like I usually see, there was at least 30 that i saw and they were headed in one direction, at the exact same speed, in a single file line but there were a few that werent. They were spaced apart evenly and there was no sound. There was no twinkling like stars. They were just dim points of light that looked exactly like a satellite.

A massive amount of extremely fast moving, single colored, bright lights. Absolutely no sounds. Spotted a single airplane that did not match the incredible speeds and formation of the bright lights.

I was outside looking up at the sky when i noticed what appeared to be a satalite drifting across the sky. When i noticed a second following closely directly behind it. As i had the two in my site i noticed another one drop out of the sky and follow directly behind it at what appeared to be a semi close pace. I tried to see where they were coming from but there seemed to be no trail. I called my folks to come out and take a look and they to saw what I saw. It almost looked like they were dropping out of the sky. They were very high, too high to be planes. They seemed to be traveling at a fast pace. I counted twenty in all. After about 25 minutes it stopped. I went in the house and returned outside about five minutes later and saw two more disappear across the sky. The sky is dark tonight with no moon .

A bit after 9 p.m. I was watching what I later learned from your website is a Starlink cluster. I saw dozens of the satellites. Then I looked at the closest easily visible star “below” and to the “left” of Venus (I won’t use proper astronomical terminology here). I looked at it through my binoculars (good ones--Bushnell Legend Ultra HD 8 x 42). It looked like a regular star (a white circle) except it seemed to have a red light blinking on it. The red light did not cover the entire white circle of starlight, I believe. It was a bright red. I did not see the red without the binoculars. Before I looked at it with the binoculars I assumed it was a normal star. The red blinking light was there each time I looked at the star over a period of maybe 30 minutes or so (a guess). I only saw the red light in the one spot, not five like you mentioned on “Coast to Coast.” (But, I didn’t search for other red spots, either.) And it wasn’t moving.

I was looking at the night sky around 8 PM noticed a moving star looked like a satellite except there were others following there were 30 total counted at least they were evenly spaced they were heading towards the east In a straight line very evenly spaced between each other no blinking lights solid light I wouldn’t think satellites traveled like this no sound either

Kensington, CA
A line of 30-40 lights moving smoothly across the sky from west to east in single formation, evenly spaced but close together. Lights seemed slightly higher than a plane would fly and were very bright, probably yellow-green to blueish in color. The line took up the entire arc of the sky. The lights faded away one by one as they reached the horizon. There was no sound.

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.

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.
