Harrisville, UT
March 2, 2020-As usual, I got up to go to school, (work, I am a public school teacher). I usually go right to the glass door that faces the north-east side of Mt. Ben Lomond, toward Eden. As I looked up toward the mountain horizon, I saw a string of about 7-9 medium-size ‘stars’ moving all in one direction, in an irregular formation, with one, less bright light, trailing behind. I saw them for only 8-10 seconds until they went over the horizon. I looked at the clock ad it was 5:28 a.m. I am an amateur astronomer and this was definitely irregular and out of place.

On the morning of March 2, 2020 I was sitting in my living room listening to music. It was 4:45 am. I noticed a light moving northeast from my area. My first thought was that it was a plane. I saw 10 more in succession and got up to move to the window. These lights continued to cross my sight line going northeast. After seeing about 30 of them, I stepped out on my front porch to get an idea of where they were coming from. It seemed that they were dropping down from the same point in the sky. About one half mile east and south of my house. They would first appear as a dull orb, drop down and become much brighter and then move northeast in a straight line behind the others. I continued to watch until the last one, which was at a longer interval than the others dropped down and took off following the others. I would estimate between 50 and sixty of these lighted orbs continued northeast in a straight line. As the moved farther away they took on the appearance of a long line of! light due to the regular distance between each vehicle. The sky was clear at this time.

I saw an object on the ground that was origami in shape and moved like a robot. It was very bright in color with red and orange hues and metallic like, it seemed to have one white light on it. It appeared to be maybe taking samples and at one time went up for awhile, than came back down. It moved quickly and at one time it changed shape flattening itself down, than transformed itself back up into the sharp edged origami like robot. It was very bright outside at that time, almost as if a full moon was in the sky. There were some reports that night of a bright unidentified lighted object up in the sky.

Night sky, few stars, it looks nothing like a planet. Colorful lights (blinking on and off), moves frequently (down, up, right, left), seen before by me (this time in a different position), oddly close to the moon.

I was out and just looked up and thought I saw falling stars at first but they just kept coming and moving in a straight line to the northeast .

They looked like stars moving or satellites in a single line formation around 5:30 am east coast ...these star looking dots were heading north . Some in group of twos for example I will use the period on my keyboard to show the formation - . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Again all in a single line . At first I thought it was a satellite just flying across the early morning sky but then I saw more star looking dots right behind the first one I saw . I had enough time to run inside, grab my cousin and show him the end tail of these dots

Ellsworth, ME
I am not easily scared or brought to tears an shaking by something. But I felt watched by something and considering I had been looking for drone like movements in the lights above or any lights movements then this just powers on an is right in the tree I'm referencing in the yard 80ft away from me...I'm completely at a loss of words or an explanation of this. I'm just left with a sick to my gut eerie feeling. Whatever this was my intuition told me it was inhuman and get away from it now. Maybe the drones all of us around my area have been videoing an sharing stories about arent really dones…

As a former pilot, I tend to think these lights not flares, helicopters, military craft or any aircraft I can think of. The shape resembled that of the Stealth fighter, only much much larger. Thank you for your time and interest.

Still to the naked eye, when looked at through the glass, they both danced around in the sky very fast. They do not appear always at the same time. We observed them from our back door over the wilderness area.

So far newspaper has not responded to my email. I do want to clarify what the ball/sphere looked like. A very bright orange and it looked like a ball of Fire...the fire was not effected by the travel of the sphere. It looked like what you would imagine the sun looking like setting stationary. The flames was not effected by the object moving....it did not have a tail. I estimate it was traveling between 25 - 30mph. (Balls seemed to be larger than a beach ball and a bit smaller than the circumference if a hula hoop. Extremely bright orange. Below is what I emailed newspaper... I’m just curious....Did anyone report 3 bright orange lights flying north between Kelly Mill and post road? I feel awkward asking but my curiosity has gotten the best of me. I believe it was around 9 last night and I was in backyard with my dog. I saw what appeared to be a very bright orange ball which looked like a flickering orange flame shooting from the ball. There was cloud cover last night, the bright orange ball flew beneath clouds and seemed to be about 20 - 25 feet above my neighbors roof flying at a good speed north. I stood there for a couple of minutes trying to make sense of what I saw. I then grabbed my husband and went to the front of house and saw 3 of these balls....one farther ahead and two which were closer together. They were not losing altitude but seemed to be going higher yet still below clouds. If it were drones all three must have had spontaneous combustion. The one that flew over neighbors house had no sound at all. I’ve been around drones! and they have a low buzz sound. I’m ruling out Chinese lanterns....there was no wind and they were following each other at a pretty good pace. I thought about military jets but these were below clouds, no sound and did not have the speed of a jet. I’m stumped. Just curious if you had any reports.

Tonopah, AZ
Hello, I live Tonopah Arizona, which happens to be within ten miles of the nations largest nuclear generating station – Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. I have observed many strange lights/objects in the sky since I moved into this area in 1996. Tonopah is about 40 miles west of downtown Phoenix. My children grew up here in Tonopah and have also witnessed many strange occurrences in our night skies. I am not writing today to report a recent event. I was not aware there was such an entity as the UFO Center for reporting until I watched the documentary by Dr. Lynne Kitei called ‘Phoenix lights’. I do not recall seeing this UFO, nor did my children report seeing this specific event, dated March 13, 1997. What I am reporting today is the continual sightings around the Palo Verde area in general. From my observations the visits continue to be in the March and October timeline of the year, however, that’s not to say previous observations were not made during other months of the year. Fact: Palo Verde down-powers one of the three power generating units to refuel and complete required maintenance every March/April and October/November on a permanent basis. Observation: Nuclear power would most likely be of great interest to other life forms outside our world. If others worlds are observing earth, powering down and then powering up nuclear generators could attract their interest or attention. I have never tracked or reported any of the 10+ sightings I have observed, at any time, in the past 25 years. I simply acknowledged that there are extraterrestrials and go about my life. The last sighting for me was in March, 2020. I have a direct view of Palo Verde from my backyard. There is nothing but flat desert from my backyard to the corner where Palo Verde is situated about ten miles away. At night, it looks like a city, all lit up and naturally, we look at it nightly. One night, while sitting at the table with my husband, both of us looking out towards Palo Verde, three lights appear suddenly in our field of vision. They are directly above Palo Verde, high up in the sky. I ask my husband if he see’s the lights – Yes. We both see the lights. There are three round lights in a triangle formation, each light equally distanced from the other. We watch, we watch, perhaps watching for at least 5 minutes, when suddenly one of the lights just fade away. So now there are only two lights, still equally distanced. We continue watching. We both have our phones, and with the camera’s, we take a couple pictures. However, there is nothing on the picture that is identifiable. The lights are too far away to be captured on an I-phone camera, it’s just a speck in the background. I grab the binoculars. Now I can clearly identify the lights in the sky. I observe halos of colors (amber, green, blue) that surround each of the circles of light. The lights aren't moving. Not at all. They are stable and steady. I give the binoculars to my husband, and he watches the lights. There are still only two lights at this time. Again, I look through the binoculars and as I am watching the lights, the third light slowly comes back and now I see three equally glowing lights again. We continue to observe the lights until they disappeared suddenly from the sky. One minute they are there, the next gone, just disappeared. However, we continue watching. A minute or two later, the lights re-appear, but they have moved to a different position in the sky. They were directly in front of us last time, and this time they are to our right. We continued to observe three round lights in a triangle formation, each light equally distanced from the other. The whole observation was at least 10-15 minutes long. Again, I saw what I saw, acknowledged that there is extraterrestrials and we both went about life, never reporting anything to anyone. But one never fully forgets what we have observed in the Tonopah sky at night. I have many of these stories, my kids have stories, I’m sure others here in Tonopah have seen ‘something’ as well. What I can say today is that the very next time this type of phenomenon is observed in the Tonopah sky, I will be sure to report it on your web-site asap! If someone were interested in setting up a good camera in hopes of getting some video, I certainly have the place to do it!

I was outside at work looking at the night sky. Was focused on the Big Dipper. That’s when I saw the line of lights stretching across the sky. I called out my other coworkers to come out and see it. We didn’t know what we were looking at. I counted roughly 27. They we’re all traveling the same speed in a formal line from Southwest to Northeast part of the sky.
March 1, 2020 · 7:00 PM · FIREBALL
Queen Creek, AZ
There was one initial ball of orange and red light that went in a straight line across the night sky approximately four or so miles high in altitude. The "ball of light" did not leave any kind of trail behind it and remained circular the entire time. There was absolutely no noise and it did not blink like a plane would. The speed was too fast for an airplane at its altitude, even the fighter jets we watch due to luke air base. This was not a meteorite as it was too slow and the light was not correct, leaving no "tail". The trajectory was flat, not varying in height. There was also no variance in speed. The "ball of light" dimmed after approximately 30 seconds then blinked out well before reaching the horizon. Right after the initial "ball of light" disappeared two more followed approximately 18 seconds later. These two were exactly the same as the first and were side by side along the exact same path and altitude. 17 seconds after the two "balls of light" the fourth and final one came into view and again followed the same exact path at the same altitude. Everyone of them disappeared in the same exact location well before getting out of viewing range. They were all the exact same color, orange and red mix, which is why they looked like flying perfectly round balls of flame. Again there was absolutely no 'tail' and couldn't have been a meteorite. As a naturalist in a different state for over a decade I can attest it was something I had never before seen even after many hundreds of star gazing programs.

It was in the sky away from any buildings or light, I have seen it from my balcony I am on the top floor. I have seen one, it would vanish and come back to the same spot. It was an orange craft, and whenever a plane came by, it would vanish. And come back once the plane was gone. The light on the orange craft would glow from lighter or brighter. It just kept disappearing and reappearing.

Medicine Park, OK
I walked up the hill from home in the dark and saw a stream of lights traveling S to M. They were evenly spaced singly or in twos This went on for several seconds They travelled at less speed than the space station They were smaller than the space station appears from earth. After they were gone there were 2 large very bright orbs- comparable to the space station-positioned vertically below the Big Dipper and not moving They vanished a few seconds later.

After the Space X (I presume) long line of 40 plus micro satellites went by in a south/southeast direction, it was trailed by a satellite looking dot that was moving differently. It seemed separate from the Space x line but traveling with it. It moved differently, not fixed, wobbling, and in a zigzag pattern. It moved following the line of satellites, up and away in a mountain peak path and came back down, past and below the line where it hovered in one place again, became brighter and brighter. Then just was like a star sitting in the sky. I don't know if it is normal to hear space x, but I could hear what sounded like a jet in the middle of its passing. The sound was dissapating after it passed when the other object came trailing and zigzagging behind. Not sure if this is normal/attached to Space x or separate.

Now - on feb 8th i reported a formation of 40 or so starlights. These flew one after the other at approx 5 fingers distance from each other. Read that these could have been satellites from the space X launch back in 11/2019. The time was the same 5:40am-5:55am. If that is the case - i’m surprised that they would come closer as time went by as opposed to further away from each other. Besides - should satellites change direction?

Pocomoke City, MD
5:37am to 5:39am March 1st, 2020: Returned from Berlin, Maryland, Walmart and was getting groceries out of truck when I looked up and thought Orion's belt looked strange - it was not Orion's belt but two lights in echelon formation going from southwest towards the northeast. I then realized it was a long line of lights, three or four single file and then two in echelon, three or four single file, then two in echelon - it kept repeating until 25 of the lights had passed overhead. No sound from jet engines and no blinking lights. All of the dots in the sky were a soft yellowish-white and all moved rapidly to the northeast. I started counting after a few had passed so it was probably more than 25. They came into view and then rapidly faded out of view as they proceeded northeast. I do not know if that was because their illumination was so soft, or if they literally had just appeared in the southwest sky, to disappear in the northeast sky. If they were jets they had to have been fighters. Regular commercial aircraft would not have been so close in echelon, and, in fact, one of the echelon formations shifted positions as they passed overhead. (It really struck me that someone had taken their eye off the ball and had allowed their craft to swing from left rear to even on the right with the leading light. It did not seem to be a smooth maneuver.) No idea as to altitude but the objects were the size of stars and that is why I thought it was something going on with Orion’s belt. While looking at the first two I briefly wondered if they were some sort of satellite but it rapidly became obvious that the objects were not in outer space but in the atmosphere. There was a clear sky, temperatures in the upper 20’s, no moon, stars could be clearly seen. No wind. I estimate the time of sighting lasted two minutes, when I went in the house after the last one flew over it was 5:39. My location is on the east coast flyway so I see a lot of aircraft overhead both day and night. Sometimes the commercial aircraft can be heard even when very high up, other times no sound is heard. This is a rural area; the night sky is very vivid. I often look up to see the stars or watch an aircraft in the night sky. The objects I saw do not fit anything I have seen before, there were no navigation lights. Also, while we have military aircraft go over now and then, I have never seen a long line formation such as I witnessed tonight. And Orion was not in the sky at that point, I had made a mistake when looking up as the objects at first looked like Orion’s belt and with the one’s in echelon I thought for a second I was seeing two belts. I was completely sober and not on any medical drugs when the sighting occurred. I was out at such an unusual hour as I had not been able to sleep so went to complete grocery shopping at the 24-hour Walmart up the road. (I do not like to waste time in bed staring at the ceiling so get up and do something to be active.) Report completed 6:24am March 1st, 2020
