I saw this unusual light in the sky through my second story bathroom window. I used binoculars and verified that it was not a house, nor an airplane nor helicopter. Could not get detailed picture with mobile device. Left the window to grab telescope but when I returned it was gone.

On April 26, 2020, was I was out on my back patio, gathering up items to take inside the house because there was a report of “rain overnight”, and I looked up, just in time to see a bright, white, ball of light rapidly moving horizontally from south to north suddenly disappearing into my neighbor’s tree line. It appeared to be the size of a basketball and was approximately 100 feet away from me and maybe 75-100 ft. from the ground and quickly disappeared behind my neighbor’s tree line. I just stood there for a moment dumbfounded, as I tried to decipher what it was, I had just seen? I have no idea what it was…

Pulaski, VA
I was about to go to bed when i looked out the window and saw 5 white orbs or lights in the distance high in the sky behind my house .These orbs seemed to be transforming from 5 objects to 1 and I went outside for a closer look. After observing this phenomenon for 10 minutes or so I turned around to go back in the house and over my shoulder 50 ft in the air was a fireball like orb that moved closer and farther away for at least 15 minutes.

Lagrange, GA
Brother entered my room claiming to see a UFO through our tree line. Followed him outside to look and saw light high enough to not be an insect but low enough that it couldn’t be a plane. Swayed/hovered left and right just enough that we had to adjust our sight but didn’t change location. To the right. About 500 yards another did the same thing at approximate level. Went inside while it was still there.

La Mesa, CA
It was a light that was flashing at an incredible speed all through out the sky It wasn’t a plane or helicopter because it moved so fast and made no noise it was night time so it was so clear after it disappead I saw what I would call a huge orb around the sky that disappeared a few moment later

Multiple people called me to step outside to look at these flying lights headed to the East. They were in row of two and sometime in triangle group. They were quite but moved moderately through the sky.

Jackson, WY
It started approximately at 9:15 PM and lasted between 25 - 30 minutes. Orbs that were evenly spaced and traveling at the same speed as the orb in front of it. They were traveling in a single file line and had no sound nor was there any flashing lights. The orbs were white in color and at 4 different times there was a double orb side by side but the majority were all in a single line. They were traveling from SW to NE and seemed to disappear before the horizon.

Green Bay, WI
37 objects that looked like satellites flying in the same NorthEast direction, extremely high up. Some were flying in a straight line, others where spaced apart side to side. They were moving fast like satellites do. There was no sound. They gave off a lite white light. They were so high up we couldn't even get pictures. They were moving extremely fast, less the a minute to cross the entire sky. This took place at night. We've never seen anything like this before.We saw them in over Green Bay WI.

Wanaque, NJ
Bright light which seemed to float closer to the ground and then return higher. Had a cylindrical shape but then seemed to change into a circular pattern. Estimated altitude was ~15,000/20,000 feet. No other light in the sky. Shape hovered in the same place for 40 minutes prior to getting smaller (higher in atmosphere) and fading from view.

Orland, CA
I was outside looking at the clear winter night sky, all the stars. Suddenly, I noticed a bright pinpoint of light moving across the sky, like a star that decided to move, only brighter. They had no flashing lights like our aircraft. Their flight path was unusual because air traffic in this area is always north-south, and these were moving southwest to northeast and quickly. They appeared in the sky near Orion (from my point of view) and vanished once they were across the sky between the handle of the Big Dipper and the horizon. As soon as the first one made it to that point, the next one came into view by Orion. They flew in succession like this, one after the other, until nine had passed by. This is the most I have seen during a sighting. Pretty amazing!

Boise, ID
3 of us went outside for a smoke and I looked up and saw 2 lights that looked like stars flying side by side south to north over the veterans area of Boise. Never seeing planes flying that close and together, especially at night. Then before the first 2 were out of sight, a string of 3 that looked like Orions belt followed. Once those first 5 were out of sight, more pairs and single lights were all going the same way. South to north. All but 2. 2 were going east to west. They never changed speed or altitude. Appearing as stars. Counted 21 before going inside to go to bed. No physical changes with any of us or pur area. Just lights all marching together the same direction towards Bogus Basin

42 flying objects in an equally spaced pattern, flying SW to NE starting between Orion and Serious, flying approximately satellite height. No flashing colors or sound. White lights. Witnessed by 3 people. The observers were a farmer, his wife and grown son. The farmers was walking the dog and looked up and saw them. He summoned his wife and son to verify what he was seeing.

Wilbur, WA
While looking at the night sky, I noticed a small light moving across the sky followed by about nine more lights moving at what appeared to be at the same speed and keeping the same distance from one another. They weren’t blinking or brighter than the next one. I watched them all move in a northeastern direction from where I was located. (SpaceX satellites?) I tried to get a picture from my phone but it wasn’t powerful enough to capture any of the lights.

My Niece, Parents and I witness a string of lights roughly even spaced, traveling same orbit, really small like satellites. One right after another probably like 6 seconds apart, counted over 20, which they were traveling in same orbit/line. Thought it was satellites at first but they just kept coming and coming. I’ve seem tons of satellites but nothing ever like this

Sunland, CA
On 03/26/2020 at 8:20 PM I witnessed small lights that appeared to be coming from the same spot in the sky. The lights flew North/ East towards the Angeles Crest mountains at a very high speed and altitude. They were spaced about 6 to 8 seconds apart and continued to appear for a duration of roughly 5 minutes. The last 3 that appeared didn't fly straight with the others. The 2 before the last one stopped and spaced themselves while the last one appeared and flew a very tight J to gather with the other 2 lights to form a triangle. The lights hovered in that formation for about 3 seconds then separated back into a straight line and continued to follow the other lights.

Cambria, CA
Facing West. Line of objects, approx. 30 sec spacing emerging from the left of Venus (SSW) mving at rapid speed to the NNE. Appeared to be a bright satélite. As time progresses brightness diminished (gaveling the impression that objects were successively higher in the atmosphere. All objects were individuals (along a line) except (among the last 3rd of the lot) 2 flew side by side (with decent separation). And, four objects later two flew at a slight diagonal to each other. In the case of the two pairs the eastern most object stayed on the same track/path as the rest of the procession. There was no flashing lights typical, of aircraft or any follow up jet exhaust noise

I'm a licensed private pilot and an amateur astronomer/skywatcher with more than 30 years of observing experience. Around 8:15 pm PDT I witnessed a series of high altitude, non-flashing, non-colored lights passing in succession directly above my home. I called my son outside to observe the movement of the lights. We watched them move across the sky in a flowing sequence for more than 15 minutes. The lights looked like satellites, but appeared to move somewhat faster than satellites. The lights were bright and steady. The lights moved from northwest to northeast passing directly overhead. All were moving in the same general direction (from my zenith to the northeast). Some of the lights were single and spaced with other identical lights following about 20 to 30 degrees behind. Some lights appeared in pairs (about 3 degrees apart), as if in formation flight.

After 18 flew by two going the same speed but close together flew by. Then the original pattern began showing up and continue for 18 meore when suddenly two appeared again close together. Followed by the original pattern and distance and speed again. In all maybe thirty in total. All going to same direction. I've never seen this before.
