Hillsboro, MO
Balls of light were noticed around 8pm. It was noticed that these balls of light were moving and moving in a straight line. The balls were starting to be counted by the property owner. The balls moved fast, at the same pace, was spaced out the same amount of space, and new balls kept showing up on the end of the line. There were 35 balls of light counted and an unknown amount before the counting started. After 20 or so minutes, the straight line of lit balls moving in a straight line, dissapeared.

Lenexa, KS
On 2/1/2020, early evening, I saw a string of lights moving across the night sky. It was between 7:00 and 8:00 PM. Close to 7:30. Lenexa, Kansas 66219 was the location. The lights were equidistant apart and traveling in the same line. Same speed. The speed never increased or decreased. The lights were seemingly not going to end. It felt like over 5 minutes. It kept on for a long time. They made no noise and were of equal brightness. They traveled north to south. From straight up, they were possibly 25 degrees west of straight up. They were possibly 10 degrees apart. Not quite the width of my outstretched fist.

Shawnee National Forest, IL
Myself and 2 others were camping in Shawnee Forest at the top of a bluff about 300 ft tall. It was night. My friend said come lool at this...we saw objects, looked like a star...moving across the sky...spaced evenly moving east. No flashing lights...looked like stars. They were moving at the same speed. One was above the leading one or higher in the sky spaced the same as the ones trailing moving parallel to to the others, so two in the front basicly. They moved across the sky one after another for aboit ten minutes or less then faded out one by one in the middle if the sky. They were definitely part of an intentional formation. We had a clear view of the sky, clear night no clouds and no light pollution. I was completely sober and saw this cleary. I fly drones and this was not a drone similar to commercial consumer drones. There were no anti aircraft light or red light resemblimg a military operation.

West Covina, CA
Several white and red lights surrounded the moon at about 4:45 PM over Wesco vina California the red lights dim down and the white lights creative formation around the moon. First in triangular shape then joining in couples of 2 inch triangular shape triangular shape then moved in uniform together away from one and a cigar shaped ship moved across the face of the earth. The withe lites following at a high rated speed and disappearing while moving the direction of west in the sky. I then went and turned on the news station on the television and waited to hear if there was any sightings or news about what I had just seen at the same time there was seismic activity earthquake in Temecula. I captured several photos of the formation and one video

Santa Paula, CA
I was driving on Telegraph Rd. in the city of Santa Paula, heading in a northeastern direction. I was speaking on the phone with my boyfriend when I looked up at the clear blue sky and saw a silver bullet shaped object with no wings or any other identifiable features. I then noticed a slightly smaller silver bullet that appeared to be “towed" by the first object. I commented to my boyfriend that it looked strange and I could not identify what I saw. I then saw a third silver bullet-looking object that was slightly smaller in size flying in perfect formation with the first two silver bullets. It eventually became apparent that I was looking at 3 silver bullet shaped objects, one smaller than the other in consecutive order, flying in perfect formation. I wanted badly to photograph the objects but I was driving at the time and had my eyes peeled on both the road and the sky. When I told my boyfriend everything I saw, I looked back up again from the road an! d the three objects had vanished in the sky. There was absolutely no clouds in the sky that day and the sky was crystal blue and clear. The objects seemed like they were flying a few thousand feet in the air and they were not flying fast at all. As soon as the objects vanished, I was undeniably dumbfounded and commented to my boyfriend how I could not believe what I just saw because one minute they were there flying at a moderate rate and the next they had completely vanished as though they had not even existed. There were other aircraft in the sky but not close enough to the vicinity of the objects I saw. There were 2 other aircraft I remember seeing flying in the sky. The neighborhood consists of crops and fields with a slither of the Santa Paula mountains and Santa Clara river nearby.

Distant unmoving bright light in sky west of our house fading out & brightening again over & over. After about 10 minutes it dropped straight down some & continued to fade out then reappear brightly. It remained & we came into house. This is 3rd sighting of a suspended, unmoving bright light we've near our home. See

Aledo, TX
I walked out side to get food off the grill when i noticed a weird lighted triangle about 5000 ft above doing axis over axis rotation with a red light at the mid point on all 3 sides. I grabbed my friend to show him and when we looked up again we noticed dozens of the objects at that seemed were maintain their altitude but in a constant gyroscopic rotation that. after a moment we noticed the sky it covered in these triangular craft but these appeared almost as they were in orbit like a star and the earth was rotating. 2 groups of these craft about 10 or so in each were in the formation of the little and big dipper. in the east there was few one looked to be over JRB air base but over the west in orbit looked like a WW2 movie with dozens and dozens of these craft similar to a bombing squadron but not advancing and the only movement was the earths rotation as the crafts that seemed to be in orbit like a star and were in the same place in the sky almost two hou! rs later. I got a picture that was clear when i took it but after i sent it as a text message it appeared the iphone camera picture lost its resolution (i know this sounds crazy but i have a witness). I started to take video on my iphone 11 and this too captured these triangular craft in the west above aledo texas with a perfect white outline that would appear to turn into an orb as you got closer with the zoom. Thinking I zoomed in too far and the orb was just too much focus, i backed out the zoom just a little bit and I could clearly see a rotating octagon shape gyro scoping around its own axis. The pictures are no longer clear and in the video that showed the lower flying air craft outlines are blurry after i text messaged them from my iphone but the the orb typed objects that showed during my zooming on the video (zooming during the incident) are clear as day of the object that showed a clear outline of the craft by eye and by iphone camera at no zoom turned into a gy! ro scoping octogon orb. I could only see the orb as i zoomed i! n on cam era but when I would look directly at the craft i never saw the orb this was only seen on camera as it zoomed in to a certain point. I was suprised to wake up and see no coverage or reports of this incident as it was a saturday night over DFW Texas and the whole time we watched we didnt see one single commercial or private air craft and we are 30 miles from DFW Airport and 3 miles from JRB Airstation, and along hwy 30 west where careflight and often 3 chinook helicopters fly over using the below hwy as a visual visual route.

Noticed a light outside of my music studio window. After taking notice, the craft shot a beam of light mid-air. The light took on a shape that resembled greatly a Coptic symbol. Stunned. We quickly ran to the deck for better observation. This craft hovered quickly and reached us almost instantly. It was triangular in shape and possessed fascinating features. Center bottom was a bowl-like structure filled with glowing orange, green, and white lights. The same colors were also ringing at each corner. Must have been at least 100 feet wide.

Prospect, OR
I started driving slowly so I could watch the lights. I was coming up towards the brigde and the rock slide area and had to pay attention to the road. After I passed the rock slide area and the gorge I spotted the lights again. I could see two more to the north and 8-10 towards the south. I found a clear area to pull over and try to take photos and video with my cell phone, but could not see anything with it. It is a galaxy s7. I tried to call my husband to go outside and look too but later learned his phone had died and was unable to answer. I heard a noise from across the road and became spooked so I drove home. I again lost sight of the lights as I turned onto the Prospect access road. When I arrived home I brought my husband outside but we could not see anything, we could see the big dipper and to the north clearly but trees blocked our south view. It is a possibility that these may have been drones or a military exercise as there are often exercises performed up in our mountains and we have the air force base just over the mountains in Klamath Falls.

Arizona City, AZ
I witnessed two blinking lights several hundred yards away. I videoed them and watched them after I turned the video off and they tilted to to the right and pulled away. The lights were blinking in sequence alternating between right and left. A plane does not do this with it's light as they are either a rotating beacon or a strobe. Also notice there are no navigation lights (green and red). I mentioned this in the video. I could go on with details but MUFON already said they can't identify them but they are man made. I will be happy to send the letter they sent me.

I witnessed these lights over a neighbors house. Not sure how far away they were. Once I saw them I went back into the house and got my phone. I started videoing the lights. I narrated the video. I caught other aircraft but they all had navigation lights. If you notice the angle of the lights change and I am in the same spot. There is a block fence in front of me that you can see at the bottom of the video. I have no idea what this is and MUFON said it was man made. Maybe but the explanation they gave was weak at best. I have over 40 years in aviation and I can't explain the lights.

Cornelius, OR
Approx. 6:45pm upon arriving home i was looking north towards hillsboro and saw 2 bright orange blobs travelling on a very erratic course in a mostly nw direction. While traveling in the same direction, they both had different paths of flight. One went way up in the sky then just disappeared. Blinked out. The other continued across the sky in its seemingly drunken manner. Then not even 2 minutes later, here comes 2 more flying in the same weird crazy way. I went into the house looked back at the sky and there was 2 more, so i asked my roommate to come see and he confirmed that yes, he saw them too and had no idea what they were. Total time start to finish was 10 minutes roughly. Whatever they were, they were in no hurry to get where they were going.

As I was walking home from work i look up in the sky and see what looks like an object of some sort resembling a helicopter, with no wind blades. It had 3 red lights, and made a humming noise. It also looked as if it was traveling the opposite way a helicopter would. Startled I proceeded to go home and people in nearby cars seen it as well

Buckhannon, WV
Numerous lights moving around in the woods below our homes. At first my neighbor and I thought they were just people in the woods with flashlights. But after he walked through the woods between our houses, and told me to come watch. We observed more than 6-10 individual lights, that floated through the woods all around the mountain that my house sits on. When we shined a strobing light towards them, they moved closer but got dimmer. Some lights were orange, some white, some yellow, and they often changed colors and brightness. We also used night vision to observe, which revealed beams that looked almost like search lights, scanning the fields below us. Even with the naked eye you could see the lights scanning through the trees. They moved smoothly and quickly, like drones almost but they aren't drones. The sounds accompanying the lights were mostly a constant hum like a car engine running and occasionally revving, and both of us because separately heard what! sounded like water running toward us. However we are on top of a mountain with nothing but cow pasture and Forest around us, with no streams or creeks or ponds. Honestly very freaked out. I thought maybe the neighbor was losing his mind but tonight it was too real. As for our backgrounds, I'm a college educated single mother, and he is an ex military truck driver.

Mesa, AZ
On January 30, 2020 around 2200 hours, I was in the whirlpool at Sun Life RV Park located at University Driver and Higley Road in Mesa AZ. Looking skyward I noticed a commercial passenger jet (I don’t recall the name of the airline) moving on a heading from the SE to the NW apparently heading for the Sky Harbor airport. I then noticed an aircraft heading from the NE to the SW. The aircraft passed underneath the passenger jet in very close proximity which I thought was close to a near miss. The second aircraft approached my position and flew directly overhead. The aircraft did not display any red/green running lights nor any strobe lights. Neither did I observe any lights which would have appeared in the cockpit area. The only lights I saw was two vertical bright white lights and the end of what would have been the ends of a fixed winged aircraft. The lights were positioned as follows: O O O O I heard the engine noise of the passenger jet but did not hear any other sounds as the second aircraft passed overhead. After the aircraft was downrange the configuration of the lights remained the same. In other words the aircraft lights appeared the same coming at me and going away from me. In the darkness I could only see the lights. I could not see an outline of the aircraft. I called Sky Harbor and was transferred to someone possibly in the control tower and explained what I observed. He said he would review the radar recording. Subsequent attempts to reach anyone for a follow-up conversation proved fruitless.

Monson, MA
Went to take my dog Out to use the bathroom. I was telling my dog to go pee and she was the one who first noticed the object. Noticed that the sky had gotten cloudy out of nowhere because 20 mins prior I was out there ans it was clear. After noticing the clouds I noticed a wierd turbine type of sound and started looking for a heliciptoer or jet, and noticed coming over the top of the trees in a NE position. The sound never seemed to change. It almost stayed in my head for days. Cant totally describe it. was a three lighted triangular object. 2 white and red in the front. Seemed to decrease speed over the mountain and id say was at about 700 feet. Heard it til it was about 4 miles away. Seemed to be traveling really alow. Had eyes on it for at least 2 minutes. Strange thing is this happened to happen just after my phone died and had to put it on the charger. So had no phone to be able to record the event. This is the second event I've seen in the 2 years I ha! ve lived there. The other sighting was a lite colired orb traveling NW from SE. The orb was totally bouncing from N to S and E to W and back. Within 6 miles of Monson Mass, I grew up in Palmer Mass and have seen crafts over man made lake Thompson when I was 7 years old with my mother. And around that time, our neighbor across the lake seen many of crafts in Burleigh Park which has been featured multiple occasions on unsolved mysteries. Def an area full of unknown crafts here. Hope someone else out here has seen this craft as well

Hartland, ME
My friend was driving me home from a team dinner at around 9 p.m. It was raining out and the roads were bad. We turned a corner and all the sudden what seems to be an orb, darts across our windshield from left to right. We both were stunned for a few seconds, in shock, and got the chills. It was like a fluorescent white color, and a very bright light/orb that flashed by in front of us. We could see it pass the whole windshield but it was incredibly fast. Both of us were very taken aback by this experience. Some told us it was an owl, but we both strongly disagree. I know what I saw and it was not an animal. It was an out of this world experience.

Lemasters, PA
You could see the lights as it approached and as it passed overhead a little in front of where we stood. The lights formed a triangle on the bottom extremities of the craft. What was unusual, there were no green lights, no white lights, no flashing. It was dark and you could not really see any distinct shape of the craft other than it looked like a triangle. The other oddity was the sound and the slow speed. It sounded like a muffled jet, no high pitch whine, very quiet. Another unusual thing was the speed and height. It was traveling way too slow for a jet and could not have been more than 150 to 200 feet off the ground. This craft continued up the valley toward Letterkenny Army Depot and out of sight. Triangle, black, 3 red non blinking lights. Three or four years ago, we seen a boom-a-rang shaped craft coming down this valley. We drove north of Lemasters to get a closer look. It had a normal white light on the front, which looked like a landing light. As it neared the end of the mountain range at Parnell’s Knob, it laid over on its side and traversed the end of the mountain. It made a very unusual maneuver. As you looked at the craft coming toward you and for it to turn to your left (its right), you would think the right side would tilt down slightly as it made the turn. This thing laid over perpendicular to the ground, left side down, made the turn and came back to a level plane and continued flying west over Fort Loudon and beyond sight. When it made the turn on its side, you could see a white light at the center front and each end. No colored nav lights, no flashing. Based on the size and the close distance of observation, this thing should have fallen out of the air it was moving so slow. There was no sound. As to the height, it was slightly lower than Mt Parnell as it made the turn. Boom-a-rang, no tail, color black.

Boscawen, NH
I saw a bright light in the sky. Too small to be the moon, too big to be a star and too close to be a planet. It was stationary for a minute and then began to move. As I watched a second, not as bright light whizzed by it. I rolled down my car window but there were no noises to indicate that it was a plane or helicopter. As I began to drive home, a bit shaken by what I had seen, I kept my eyes on the sky. The crafts either flew in the same direction as me of there was more than two of them because I saw them for a good 20 minutes of my commute home from work. I have three pictures of the first one I saw.

I live on the 6th floor of apt. building & have an unobstructed view of the tree line & above & I usually see planes in the sky during day & night going to and from the airports around where I live in a Northwest direction. On this particular night I noticed 2 bright lights in the sky over near an airforce base. They were next to each other hovering but one was a little bit higher than other but they werent blinking like an airplane or jet would. I grabbed my phone & started recording..after about 15 seconds one blinked out but not totally..I saw a teeny but of light left as it moved horizontally across the sky then the 2nd lighr totally disappeared. There was no sound. I thought might be drones but after looking at the videos & a screenshot from the video I'm not so sure. I emailed a copy of the videos & screenshot. (My hand got a little shakey sorry.)
