Carson, WA
We observed a continuous moving, perfectly strait, line of star/satellite sized lights moving south to north a little slower than a commercial airliner flies. They appeared out of sight behind a few trees, then traveled roughly 24 inches across the night sky, then disappeared suddenly into nothing. My girlfriend and I lost count after 40 of these lights, we estimate there were closer to 100. We were completely sober and lucid. We were driving through Gifford Pinchot National Forest looking for new snow camping sights. The lights disappeared completely when a commercial airliner got close.

Standish, CA
A line of lights moved in a northeasterly direction over the house, traveling at the same speed on the same path. I counted at least 50, and lost count after that. Using a star as a reference, there was a 4-5 second space between each object. They traveled in a straight line across the sky with the same brightness, until they disappeared over a mountain. Duration of about 15 minutes. I observed aircraft with strobe lights flying thru the observable path of the objects, unknown whether above or below. After about 60-70 had passed, they became more spaced out at around 45 seconds apart, which continued for about 10 minutes. I also observed several similar looking objects traveling in a northerly direction, not the same path, but same speed and brightness.

Conowingo, MD
4 individual white lights, evenly spaced, moving slowly through the sky on the same Northeasterly trajectory. The spacing between the objects never changed. We live under the flight path between BWI & PHL and a commercial passenger aircraft flew below them heading SW towards BWI.

Isleton, CA
The following is a detailed account of my observations of the “craft” in the overhead sky on repeatanle days of any random day of the week on any random week of the year. This report is specific to a single particular date and time, however I have seen the same activity on almost any given day of the year. I have brought numerous friends to the location to verify the veracity of my claims; all have agreed that my statements are accurate. The following is my eye witness account of events in the night sky above the town of Isleton in California bordering Rio Vista California off of Highway 12. I would imagine that you can share this sighting at any of the locations of Isketon, Rio Vista, Lodi, and up and down Highway 12 between those locations, perhaps all the way to Suisun City. My sightings come from the back of my boat which is situated in a marina on the Delta Loop. Looking out the back of my boat at approximately a 60° angle to the horizon, I can see 2 warm orange lights that are stationary in the sky. On occasion there is a single cool white light usually off to the right of the stationary objects. It’s not always a guarantee that the third object is present. These objects appear to be nothing more than airplanes with their usual lighting on them, however I’ve never seen man-made flying craft with such warm orange yellow lighting to it. These two orange yellow lights will stay at a consistent space apart from each other in a hovering pattern usually completely still. Sometimes they will deviate in there hovering patterns ever so slightly but I cannot tell if that is just cloud cover causing my eyes to trick me or if they are actually moving horizontally. As time goes on eventually these craft will deviate from the covering pattern and fluctuate in altitude significantly going all the way to what is almost the horizon or very near the ground from I can tell at approximately 300 feet above ground. Usually, after about five minutes of this vertical dance, one of the objects, usually the right most object to my position will become stable and again hover. The left most object will then make a rapid travel across the sky in a perfectly straight linear fashion until it has traveled far left out of my sight and is blocked by Marina cover. The remaining craft with it’s warm yellow orange lighting will remain statio! nary for perhaps 60 seconds and then it will travel far left as well, out of sight. That’s very few minutes has passed, the two objects are back in a group together at the far left but the lighting is very dim and has become more white. Eventually two warm orange yellow lights will appear exactly where the other two left from. It is unclear to me if the others came back or if these are new ones coming in. The bright white light seems to just stick around and sometimes will move around a bit but and sometimes just flicker and fade out to come back again later. On some occasions, though not that rare, the two objects dart about the sky in directions of no particular order. It is unlike any human made craft I have ever seen until about six months ago when I was privy to seeing RC style quad colters fly upwards of 100 mph and able to change directions rapidly. Also similar in-flight pattern to the RC helicopters that are able to perform acrobatic flight patterns. They very much mimic the flight patterns of RC style Quad copters. I am not sure the scale is correct however, due to my not knowing the actual distance Making it challenging to determine scale in the night sky. When I first saw this, of course I questioned my own sanity in the interpretation of what was going on. I imediately had a friend of mine over to witness this spectacle who was equally as struck by confusion and amazement as was I. I highly recommend anyone in the area to hang out anywhere on the Delta Loop or in Rio Vista downtown and look to the sky anywhere from 7 PM to 4 AM and you should see exactly what I’ve been reported. It does need to be on a clear night, they don’t seem to exist or non-clear nights. I’m not aware of any military operations or other rumors or stories going on in this area. However, Travis Air Force Base is nearby and there are stories of strange activity in the Fairfield area as well as Suison City, though I’m not sure if the storytelling has made its way to this more remote area of Solano County.

Middle Village, NY
I noticed a very bright light in the sky, that was in the shape of a line, with a couple of lights in a row. The weird thing is that it just was stationary and not moving. Since this is a very big city, I cannot imagine that I’m the only one who is seeing this? *** I have the latest I phone 11 and I started taping all this on video of which I have. ( A couple of different videos ). The 2nd part of this is.... almost every day, where I live , planes landing at LaGuardia Airport, fly low right above where I live. I didn’t see or as of right now, any planes in the air? Then I noticed a plane in the air, but it was flying in a direction I have never seen a plane fly from left to right, and seem like it was flying kind of towards the bright lights in the sky , that was suspended in mid air without moving? Then my wife came out and she saw the same thin! g? She got really bothered by this, she didn’t want to keep looking at it and went inside. Now after she left , I tried to find that plane I saw. So again I started to video this and a smaller green light appeared, and it was flying around, but it started to BOUNCE ALL AROUND...back and forth. I also have video of this happening, that you can see it, doing this that lasted quite a while. I’m so glad I have this on video tonight while it’s happening. There has to be an explanation of what this is? Is it a UFO : maybe... to me it is unidentifiable flying object. Maybe not from another place in the universe, probably man made? I rea! lly don’t know what I should do with this, but it’s on video a! s plane as day. To be sure I’m going to save this to the cloud and send 2 copies of these videos to my wife and a friend. Did you get any other report’s on this today from any one else in the NYC Area? Please if you have any suggestions for me on what to do or just drop it? Please let me know. The last thing I want to do is to look like some kind of wack job! I don’t know how ya would get back to me but if it’s possible, please do.

Fort McCoy, FL
Was standing on my back porch having a cigarette, I heard 5 really loud popping sounds like that of a really big electric arc, happened in quick succession, crack crack crack crack crack and then witnessed a military jet flying very low about 100 feet off the deck and flying at damn near stall speed traveling East to west, then a black triangle shaped craft approximately 50 FT in length traveling from the east to west. I would estimate the air speed to be 100 knots and the height 75 FT from the deck, flying EXTREMELY LOW, followed by another jet going the same heading and speed. All happened within less than a 1 second of one another, the 2 jets and triangle craft were flying so low I couldn’t watch them once they past the tree line. Could not tell if the triangle craft made noise because of the ungodly noise the 2 jets made flying so low and slow. It did seem to me it was being escorted by the jets and not being chased by them because they were flying so sl! ow and in singular formation. Knowing aviation, what shook me more than anything was the speed of the jets flying so slow shocked me more than the damn triangle craft, I didn’t know jets were even capable of flying that slow and so low to the ground. Was very bizarre. Could not identify the type of jet or any markings on the jets or triangle craft, I could see the pilots in the jets though. If these jets are part of our military inventory then I haven’t heard about it. Did not see any visible means of proportion on triangle craft.

Albany, NY
I was walking across the street in downtown Albany, NY and was looking at the building architectures. I saw a sign that I thought was interesting against the blue sky. That’s when I noticed an odd formation in the sky. It was a number of orangish dots, eight in a circle and one in the center (after looking at my photo). I couldn’t tell if it was a single object or nine objects together in unison. There wasn’t a lot of clouds in the sky, a few. So the formation (or object) didn’t stand out like a plane in the sky, but you could definitely see it against the blue sky. The dots were a tad faint, almost like they were glowing, but very lightly. I don’t want to say they were pulsating, but they did come across as glowing. It had some rotation. Again, not sure if it was a single object in the sky or nine individual objects, but they seemed to move in unison. The rotation was very slow, but it was enough to notice that there was movement. I quickly pulled out my camera and managed to take a single photo. I tried to take a video, but as I switched over to video on my phone, the object(s) quickly moved to the upward towards the left and then was gone.

A line of slow moving lighted objects flew in a straight line over the big horn mountains towards a red star. Once to that point they all seems to combine together into one or flew into a carrier and disappeared.

Blue Springs, NE
A fleet of mysterious UAS had been appearing nightly for weeks all over Nebraska. On the night of 1/15/20, I read 2 online reports of multiple low-flying drones in the area of Panama, NE and Blue Springs, NE. I drove out to see for myself, but when I arrived at these 2 locations, I saw only navigation lights of aircraft so high up that I assume they were airliners. After midnight, I had parked my car 5 miles east of Blue Springs, NE, and observed the sky from 0:15 to 1:30 am. At 0:45, my attention was focused on a bright yellow star (Arcturus), when my peripheral vision alerted me to motion on my left side. I immediately looked left and saw a fairly bright dot of white light above the top of a hill just ahead of me. It dropped behind the hill so quickly that it was visible for less than a second. I waited for 10 minutes to see if it would reappear. When it didn’t, I drove up to the top of the hill, but saw only outdoor lights of 2 nearby farms. The ‘dropping orb’ appeared as a perfectly round dot, unlike any meteor fireball I’ve ever seen. I continued to watch the sky until 1:30 am, but saw nothing else. It was exceedingly cold that night (windchill -10 F) so its unlikely that anyone else was outside at the time. I’m a 63-y.o. PhD virologist, and have previously filed a NUFORC report in August 2007.

Washington, CT
My husband and I were driving south from Washington, Ct toward Roxbury on Bell Hill rd. I noticed an orange light in the sky that seemed to be fairly low and moving at a slow speed. As we got closer (driving at approx. 30mph) I stuck my head out of the window to see it going overhead. As we went over it I noticed the object was square (or diamond) shaped with a white light at the front , a red light at each corner (two sides and rear). As we stopped at an intersection to take a look we didn’t not notice any sound though it appeared to be flying lower than usual aircraft (at about the same altitude that one might see a small prop plane). We continued driving down the road for about a mile when we pulled over to try to see the object again. We spotted the same flashing orange light that I noticed on our initial approach in the distance. We watched it for about 5 minutes and though it was far away, the object did not appear to move. I was trying to judge its ! movement based on its proximity to a large tree that was in the foreground. It stayed in the same place until we got back in the car and left.

Brule, WI
I was driving back to Duluth MN from Ashland WI. I make this trip almost daily. If you have ever been on this drive during the night you know that the only light comes from the little towns you drive by. I drove past the town of Brule WI, and not a car in sight. I notice an object just above the trees. It had 4 dark yellow lights and had a glow as if you were approaching a city with a lot of light pollution. The lights were in place but I could see a black figure that was rotating in the dark. T he object moved across the sky for about 20 seconds, not super speed just slowly moving along, like it was checking out the ground. Then out of no where the figure just disappeared, as if the figure put up a cloaking shield. The winds were about 20MPH on my drive last night. No drone could handle that amount of wind, and no plane would fly that low to the trees. Every hair stood on my body. This was my first UFO sighting, I had speculations before, but now am a firm b! eliever.

Jacksonville, FL
The object was moving slowly across the sky, parallel to the ground north to south, for about 45-55 seconds. It was cigar shaped with bright red lights and a bright orange after-burner but there was no sound or noise. Then, in a mater of seconds it appeared to change direction towards a 45 degree angle up and shot up and disappeared.

Mount Joy, PA
I was adjusting a wreath on my front door & saw a very bright light in the southern sky over my neighbors house. This light stayed stationary for awhile so I called my husband & got our binoculars & camera. The object appeared to be cigar shaped and stayed in a stationary position from 6:59 PM to 7:14 PM. The object was hovering at 25-30 degrees above the ground in the southern sky. The object disappeared for about 5 minutes then reappeared to the right(S.W.) of where we first saw it and started moving to the east blinking red & white alternately. There was no sound at all. My husband was a naval helicopter aviator from 1971-1975. My husband said that commercial or military aircraft do not behave like this. I have 3 photos of this sighting. We are Coast to Coast listeners! This was my second sighting...this time I was prepared with my camera!
