Prineville, OR
While sitting outside we observed what we thought was a straight line d 9 stars. However, they were moving in a straight line, almost evenly spaced traveling at the same speed from southwest to northeast then disappearing at the same point. They were high up because we saw a commercial plane cross their pass under the lights. As one disappeared at the front of the line directly above us, more would appear at the end of the line totaling anywhere from 20-30.

Milwaukee, WI
At 6:30 p.m., I and others witnessed 30-40 rising lights in WSW Milwaukee for a duration of about 10 minutes. Lights appeared similar to stars or satellites, and were spaced somewhat equally. Lights rose vertically from the horizon into space.

Brookings (south of), OR
My wife and I stepped out to patio at Smith river facing west, and noticed spheres moving in alignment moving faster than aircraft or satellite, at a high atmospheric level. Our best estimate is over 30 craft moved in a westward direction, but disappeared before leaving line of sight.

String of lights evenly spaced, moving east to west high in the dark sky. Low flying planes look to be observing.

Bethesda, MD
I turned onto the street on which my house is located and within ¼ block of my house, looking northwest, I observed pastel-colored lights (blue and orange) on the grounds of a high school located about one block from my house. I pulled into my driveway and exited my car. I walked down to the front of my house and observed four, disk shaped airborne objects, stacked one on top of the other. I observed fog or smoke surrounding the objects. I immediately called by wife and told her to come out of the house to see something amazing. I then observed the objects move away from each other, into a formation where three of the objects moved into a “V” formation, with one object moving information behind the formation. The fog or smoke had cleared. I saw no observable means of thrust or propeller to keep the objects afloat or for their movement. The objects were about 30-50 feet above the ground. They seemed to be able to sit in the air without any observable! means of support. Once in formation, the three objects in the “V” moved very slowly in a southeast direction, to my left. After a few seconds, the fourth object began to move forward as well. (It looked as if the one object was guarding the other three objects in the “V” formation. I began to walk a short distance down the street, placing me below the object that stayed behind. I observed the underside of the one object following the other three. I saw what appeared to be lights in a circle beneath the object that were lighting up in a circular sequence. I never head any sound whatsoever from any of the objects. I continued to observe the objects as the flew almost over my house in a southeast direction. My wife also observed the objects. I posted my sighting on Nextdoor at the time and one other neighbor, located about 1 ½ blocks from my house (to the northwest), indicted he saw the objects as well. (I’ve contacted him and asked him to make a report as well.) ! I filmed the object that trailed the other with my iPhone. I a! m a CPA/ Attorney, former federal civil servant and college professor. My wife is a former federal civil servant, now retired. I would have reported earlier, but did not know about this site until after I read about the military's UFO report and decided to search for a place to file a report.

New York City (Brooklyn Heights), NY
Early evening of Friday the 23rd my girlfriend and I were walking our dog towards the east river in Brooklyn Heights, when we spotted a red light flying unlike any other aircraft we’ve ever seen. It moved at a high rate of speed, low in the sky, but above the planes and helicopters taking off from local airports. First one craft was spotted as it moved extremely fast and then stopped on a dime, hovering, and then descended slowly in the sky, to then stop and hover again. Multiple red and white lights, and one green light appearing and disappearing in very peculiar patterns unlike any traditional aircraft lights that flash on and off. We located another one in the sky moving in the same pattern with one green light. As the first craft moved very slowly in the sky coming closer to our location you could see the red lights on the craft wrapped around the structure which allowed us to make out the shape as saucer like. Both crafts not in unison were zipping back ! and forth until they made their way southeast in the sky and we lost visibility.

Eureka, CA
Three of us were out fishing north of Eureka California ,total darkness other than flashlights when noticing a string 40 to 50 lights at very high altitude following each other across the sky, amazing sight all evenly spaced headed north easterly direction, there was no telling how many we missed before we noticed them. There was no sound seem like an endless stream of them, we did see two flying to one side of them following at the same speed that we're not quite as bright they all seem perfectly spaced. Surely not something you see everyday or nite.

Winchester, KY
I was driving home from work on I-64 between Lexington and Winchester in the eastbound lanes. What I saw, and recorded on my iPhone, appeared to be a twin engine aircraft that was trailing black smoke from both engines. It appeared to be around 20,000 feet in altitude and moving in roughly the same direction I was – east. It moved slowly like an aircraft across the sky. Obviously not a UFO, although it was too far from me to confirm any details. I just thought someone should know about this event. I am a private pilot and know the difference between a contrail and smoke. This was smoke! I have pretty good video footage.

Aberdeen, MD
3 objects flying through sky at a slow rate of speed. All were leaving significant smoke trails behind them. Everyone on 95 southbound had no choice but to see them unless you were completely oblivious. 12/23/19 at approx 4:35pm I witnessed for at least 15 minutes until I was in the White Marsh area and they disappeared out of sight. I first assumed comets but seemed to be moving much to slow and a significant exhaust or smoke flume trailed in the sky behind the objects. I took approx. 15 photos as I drove home from work.

Newport News, VA
On the evening of December 23rd, 2019, right before sunset around 1625 my husband and I were standing outside when he looked up and noticed a small object in the north horizon hovering in the distance. We stood watching it for about 10 seconds or more and the object continue to hover NOT moving up or down or side-to-side. It seemed to be round and had multiple red lights that flashed. Suddenly it shot across the sky in a straight line from the north to south along the horizon in a matter of 1 to 2 seconds making no sound whatsoever. It then stopped and hovered in the southern horizon for about 5 more seconds and disappeared. It definitely was not a plane and we tried to compare it to maybe a helicopter but there is NO WAY that even a helicopter could have moved that fast! All our life we have lived in this area that has an Army, Navy and Air Force bases near by and see multiple types of aircrafts constantly. But we have NEVER seen anything that even comes close to what we saw that night!!

On Dec. 23,2019 about 3pm, me and my fiancé was pulling into a shopping center parking lot in Jonesboro Ar, we were facing west. I saw a small round shiny object in the sky. I told him to look and that it didn’t look like an airplane or a helicopter, he agreed. It was only for about 5 seconds and then it was gone.

Was outside and looked up North towards Clermont, saw sky bursting like lighting but sky was emitting orange then red and then yellow, bursts were sporadic and in between the sky changing color circular lights were moving around and sometimes they were stationary. There was no set pattern to the lights and the temperature was too cold for lightning and lights were in a circular sphere, video was taken for a duration of 3 min on my phone

Around 6:30pm my dad called me outside to look at these moving stars "UFO in my opinion" and over a 15 minute period we seen 40 different crafts flying in a straight line all disappearing at the same point in the sky one after another. At 4:50 there was no more movement in the sky. This took place in my back yard.

Springfield, OR
Cousin was looking in sky and saw lights travelling in perfect straight line perfectly spaced and there were 6 countable at one time. As one faded at the top one would appear at the bottom. We called a friend who lived about 3 miles away and he stepped outside to see the exact same time. At one point one of the lights sped up to what looked like avoiding a crash with another “light” only to get back into formation. Lasted for about 5-10 min then they were all gone. All was caught on film

Huron, OH
There were a series of 'star like' images across the sky in a straight diagonal line, a procession of them, moving slowly in a Northern direction. They moved across the sky and as one disappeared, another would emerge at the end of the line. Approximately a dozen would show in a straight line, top of the line disappearing at one point as another appeared at the bottom of the line. Eventually the line diminished as the last one disappeared. There were five witnesses that saw it all.
