I was in Griffith Park in Los Angeles doing my morning work out. There was a hazy cloud cover. Between sets I happened to look up in the direction of the Big Dipper and saw a small dim light moving from the west to the east. I watched it for about 30 seconds or so as it went from being occluded from trees to other trees. I continued doing my work out. About 5 minutes later my eye caught the image of another dim light moving in the same path as the previous object. Again, I watched it for about 30 seconds or so. A couple of minutes later I saw a 3rd dim light on a similar path moving from west to east. I watched that one for about 30 seconds or so as it glided between occlusions of trees. A minute or so later a mist moved in and hid all the sky that I could see. These three objects had to have been at a great height. The first two seemed to be moving at about the same speed and the 3rd seemed to be moving a bit faster. Where I was there were a number of trees hiding much of the sky and of course L.A.'s light pollution is legendary among sky watchers.

A stream of fast moving lights that looked like stars in alignment evenly moving across the sky from south to north and then one of the lights took off really fast towards the west - that looked like a brighter traveling comet.

I was sitting in living room watching a movie. Our front door has a window at top. I noticed bright flashing coming through the window. I ran out front door and saw a bright object in western sky-seemed perhaps a mile or two out over the prairie. We live north of Prescott Valley on edge of prairie terrain. The object was oval, or circular in shape. There were white lights blinking and moving in circle around object. Object was much larger than normal airplane size-about twice-or three times size of what would be considered an airplane in night sky. Object veered to left, or southwest and just suddenly vanished. Night sky was quite clear with a few thin drifting clouds.

Observed a saucer-shaped object with curved lights moving and blinking-from left to right. The lights were whitish-yellow. It hovered for about 2 minutes or less then totally vanished after hovering. Sky was dark and fairly clear. Was in sky west of our home. Sound of humming shortly after it disappeared.

Don't get confused with the two airplanes in the middle. Look up higher and to the left and you going to see a white line. It then disappears and then reappears. Then immediately it moves left and downward so fast it makes the two airplanes in the middle look like they are just sitting there. Then at 9 seconds if you put the video in slow motion, you will see it the zigzagging so fast in slow mo, as if it's going supersonic speed and it seems to disappear while going left. If you look at the sky as I move the camera down to stop the video you can see it come back and drop down around 30k feet in a second

NORTON, MA
I saw two clusters of white lights low in the sky, seemingly to be approximately 42°02'18.5"N 71°07'45.8"W. They looked like “peony” fireworks, but they were static, not expanding and dissipating. https://youtu.be/qDBO_QJIyxw I was watching from the shore of Lake Winnecunnet and these were due north of me. About 21:17, both clusters disappeared while I was going to get my binoculars. Within a few minutes, a single cluster reappeared, not as large as the previous pair of clusters. It seemed to have one bright light in the lower center and a few red lights were also visible. As I watched, it seemed to swing around so it looked like a satellite dish covered in lights, then swing back to look like a circle of lights. When it swung to the side, I could see several red lights that could have been behind the “satellite dish” structure. It turned so the dish faced west and it traveled west, then turned the dish down and hovered there. Then the dish seemed to be outlined in red lights, not white. It became smaller and/or dropped behind the trees. Another bright light, not a cluster of lights, appeared in the original spot. It stayed in that spot for a minute or so, then began to travel west. It could have been a small cluster of lights or possibly a single light; I was having trouble focusing the binoculars with one hand. It dropped low and then was hidden behind the trees. While this was happening, the regular west-to-east air traffic was visible.

The object was a complete circle shape. It was bright and white. It moved in a zig zag motion at a 60 degree area. It appeared in the night sky above a church then moved about 50 yards before it disappeared into thin air

I saw a small red sphere moving rapidly in a straight line north to south around 20:50 hours, 2/17/2020. There was no sound. I first saw it as it was a little north of west, as it passed directly west of me it was about 60 degrees above the horizon. At around that point I started a I Phone 8 video that lasts 58 seconds and ends when the object passed behind trees.

Was taking Dog out in yard to do his thing and as I looked up in the Eastern part of sky I saw a blinking object fly toward another blinking object and attached itself to the first blinking object. For as long as I could see them the stayed attached until out of sight. They were close enough to see what was happening but I could not tell what shape they were since I did not have my binoculars with me. First time I have seen this.

Ultra thin disk about a mile in length at least, appeared partially transparent from the side as it passed in front of a star, largest object I have ever seen flying in the sky a satellite was nearby and it was basically a flea compared to this thing there was lights along the edge and it was travelling at an angle as if it was trying to stay hidden it was paper thin but miles in length I will never forget if I hadn’t already been taking a piss I would’ve pissed my pants definitely not a man made object or craft from this earth never have I ever seen anything like this no flying object that big exists and it was traveling impossibly fast for an object of that magnitude.

(Sorry for submitting this twice, I realized I set the date to today, and not Monday, on accident.) I was arriving to my step fathers house at around 9 PM EST, and I looked up to the sky above his house, which overlooks some semi-tall trees and leades into a lake. When I looked above, I saw a flash of light that stayed in the air for a good few seconds. The light descended slowly, much larger than a plane and more slowly than that, until it disappeared behind the house. My mother was with me, but she didn't see it, as she was taking bags out of the car. It was large, about the size of the moon, but much brighter. As it descended behind the trees I tried to run around to the back, but it was already gone. The shape was nearly perfectly circular, but I describe it as a fireball because of the hazy outside of bright blue along with the white center.

Was taking my evening walk and noticed a great deal of air traffic all over the sky. One pulsating circle captured my attention as it was stationary. I thought it maybe a Helicopter until I ran in the house to grab my binoculars. It was this crazy pulsating multi colored lights that was shifting to the north, then it would stop..then shift again. It was so low it started to wig me out. It was huge, not a drone. I can't imagine it was a satellite so low, right above the houses. Then it ascended and disappeared.

Walking home from a store I looked up in the sky seen a bright circle light that started moving left and right at great speeds, then it shot up straight about 500 feet and then fell back down at incredible speed then it just went black. 3 seconds or more went by then a real bright light appeared again and started repeating the movements described. I went back into the store ask the clerk to come take at look and when we came out it was gone then it reappeared in brilliant bright light again, clerk went back in the store and I headed home keeping my eyes on the object in the sky.

Went to get food for me and my coworker at 19:20. Upon returning I saw a white light with a blue hue and a smaller green orb attached pass over me. It continued for another half mile before dissapearing. The car behind me almost came to a dead stop! I thought originally it was a trick of the eye's until I called my coworker. I was informed that he saw it as well and even caught it on his dash cam in his vehicle. It did not dissipate like a shooting star or comet would usually. Both of which are not unusual for the area. Shortly after there was a search helicopter in the area last seen doing circles. Not long after I returned to my site me and my coworker saw a mysterious white orb floating in the distance for a couple hours fluctuating between brightness before completely disappearing. It was very strange. I used to be a huge skeptic until tonight. Now everything, including any logical explanation of it has changed drastically. Due to the nature of the work si! te and confidentiality of the client, I cannot release location. Only general area.

portland, OR
I was travelling home from work from portland to washington northbound across the interstate 205 bridge, about halfway across the bridge just after passing governmnet island I saw a glowing pulsating amber yellow sphere parallel to the bridge, there must have been atleast 50 other vehicles on the bridge within sight as well, It was travelling south to north parallel to the bridge. I only got to look at it slowly moving across my view for about 5 seconds before it flew off with astounding acceleration north at a slight upward curve until it dissapeared into the clouds. I've never seen anything move like that before. The portland international airport is within a mile of this location, i could see 3 planes in the distance a few miles away coming in to land at the airport as reference points the orb appeared much much closer to the bridge I would guess 100 yards, I was driving with my window down and I could not hear any noise coming from the object, just! the wind/ noise from the passing cars on the other side of the freeway. I did not believe in Aliens before seeing the way that sphere moved with my own eyes, I've believed in the possibility of alien life on other planets, There are so many other planets out there some of them have to support life, But I didn't think they would be advanced enough to travel here until i saw the way that orb moved. They are watching us.

From the cockpit of an airliner at 40,000 feet. I am a retired USAF pilot and captain at a major airline. We were flying east to west on a heading of 250 degrees in a mostly clear night, though the ground had low overcast. Venus was clearly visible in the western sky. At 19:45 Central time, I observed what appeared to be a satellite passing below Venus and heading in a northerly direction. I pointed it out to the other pilot and we hypothesized what it could be. I recorded the details so I could later use a website to see what satellite it truly was. About 1-2 minutes later, we both observed another “satellite” traveling along the identical path, followed by another, then another, at one point two rather close to each other, all in all at least 10 in almost a 15 minute period. There was a gap until 20:21 when I saw the last one. Neither I nor the other pilot have ever seen anything like this. It was definitely weird!

We were at the Grand Wailea Hotel on the lawn just prior to the beach when my daughter spotted a string of lights move in unison across the sky. She pointed it out to her mom and myself (dad) and we watched these lights move in unison like a bead pearl necklace across the sky in formation from North to South. They moved in complete unison as if attached, and at times faded in brightness in and out. It moved pretty slowly and I managed to get video on my cellphone as they went out of view. Interestingly, friends of ours (2) on the big Island witnessed the same event from their island at approximately the same time we found out the next day.

Every once in awhile about a year ago, I decided to start looking out the window from my apartment at night. One of these times, I saw a light that seemed to be moving across the sky. It was too low to be a plane, and had no sound. Just a strobing light. Fast forward to about a month ago, when I decided to start actively looking out my window. The sightings of these strange lights seemed to increase. They cannot be seen at all times of the night, so I decided to sample every so often each night. Sometimes I would see them, sometimes not. Fast forward to a few weeks ago. I decided to buy some binoculars to see if I could make out the craft attached to these lights. After locating some lights on a few nights, I managed to lock on several times with my binoculars. There is no craft attached to the lights. They are just strobing lights floating across the sky in odd ways. Fast forward to about a week ago. I started consistently looking out the window to find the lights. To my amazement, they had stopped. I had been seeing them at least once every 3 days. Therefore, I decided to take it easy and stop consistently looking out the window. Fast forward to the reporting date. On a whim, I decided to look out the window. I assumed it was mostly done, and I would not see anything more. To my amazement, in plain sight - 3 strobing lights. I was caught off guard. All of the lights were just strobing across the sky, starting from different points. I decided to grab my binoculars to see if I could lock on to one of them. I picked one and tried to keep it in view. As soon as I did, it started to zip around. Every time the light strobed, it would instantaneously zip to another position. I had a hard time tracking it, but didn't think much of it because it was in the view of my binoculars, therefore it was not going very far (perspective). I went away from the window to try and process what happened and then went in for another go. Since the binoculars weren't doing me any favors - there is no craft attached to the lights, I decided to look with the naked eye. Again to my dumbfoundment, this is where things got eerie. There were still 3 lights. All throughout the sightings, the strobe pattern had been gentle. It is very much like a standard plane strobe pattern. One light started strobing crazily. Its strobe pattern sped up and started zipping left to right in the tree line. I located the other light near the ground and it started to strobe much faster. After about 2 seconds, it shot 50 feet into the air instantly at every strobe. At this point, I was scared, so I stopped observation and shut the window. I cannot ascertain if these lights know that someone (or me) is watching them. Additionally, these are not planes or UAVs. For one, there is no visible craft attached to the lights. For two, there is no sound. And for three, planes and UAVs cannot perform the maneuvers being seen. Since the appearance of the lights is almost daily outside my window, it is safe to say this is a hotspot (in my opinion). I am inclined to get the correct gear to video tape these lights; however, I honestly was too scared to go outside and do so this time. Furthermore, what about next time? Will I be too scared? For reference, I live in the Woodbury Knoll apartment complex. CT 64 is right outside my window at a distance of some feet. Across the road there are some buildings. This is seemingly where the activity is taking place. I do not have a good idea of the range at which the lights are from my window, but they are very low to the ground and fairly close. I am performing the sightings from lat / long coordinates: 41.526603, -73.181202. If you draw a line from the origin coordinates to lat / long coordinates: 41.525573, -73.182087, you will see where I am looking to see the objects.

Las Vegas, NV Feb 17, 2020 at 3:14 PM UNLV parking lot behind Thomas & Mack Arena, near the Student Center. I checked the pilot weather. Mccarran Airport, a mile away from the sighting, was reporting broken clouds at 25,000 feet AGL. It was a very thin layer. The objects I saw were at or slightly above the cloud layer and smaller than the airliners flying at the same altitude. I saw 7 fire colored objects in a delta formation and the 7th object right behind slot object. It looked like an arrow formation. There were also two white orbs to the left and right off the objects in the wing positions. I did notice there was a rotating white light from some of the 7 fire colored objects, but no green or red lights like you would see on a standard aircraft setup. Then in an instant they all scattered in spilt second reverse directions. Nothing in our military arsenal can make such maneuvers, that I know of! Seconds later 20 or more appeared and disappeared into thin air. It seemed l! ike they phased in and out of this dimension. One fire colored object and one white orb remained, kinda dancing around each other doing crazy maneuvers. At times the fire colored object looked like it had 3 lights on the bottom of it, similar to the triangle shaped UFO I hear about all the time. The white orbs were just pure white plasma like I've seen many times before. Other objects would appear and disappear during the sighting. This went on for exactly 10 minutes. I filmed a lot of it with my phone camera. As good as it films UFO's, this one too high and the sky was too bright. I'm gonna see if I can filter the UFO's out in Photoshop like I've done in the past. The rotating white light makes me wonder if they were some sort of secret military craft. I'm not that far from Area 51. Maybe it was some kind of joint Alien/Military exercise! Whatever they were, I'd like to pilot one!!
