Woodbury, MI

Driving westward on M43 noticed a perfectly aligned and spaced out line of 7 lights thought at first to be stars sitting stagnant perfectly equally spaced apart stretching perfectly diagonally. They were all very strong in brightness the 7th and top star. As we drove a couple miles my daughters and I were baffled. We had just gone to the planiterum on MSU campuses that afternoon and when they showed us what we could see that was DEFINATLY not a constellation. My adult daughter said mom maybe it’s a building and this was all country and I told her no way not even Empire State Building was that high was probably over 2-3 miles high in length and was perfectly diagonal so it could not of been a cell tower. As we kept going cars were going slower and a few pulling over to side of road to observe. As we approached Clark road one by on the lowest to the ground ones started to fade away slowly as if they were going away from us leaving only the 7th one at the ! top to stay which was a star as if it was camouflaging in. Was very scary and definatly UFO. I mind you this was a very clear night and no light pollution as most is farmland in the area. Also at this moment I lost all cell service which I always have in the area.

Mayflower, AR

The craft were evenly spaced out in a line stretching nearly from horizon to horizon. They were perfectly spaced out and traveling at the same great speeds in formation. The flight came out of the South West and was headed north east. Surely with all or telescopes, some one besides my fried and I witnesses this.

Willis, MI

Location: Augusta Township/Willis, Michigan.. It was a very clear, clean & crisp evening Sunday 12-22-2019 at approximately 7p-7:30p. I walked out of my barn facing directly due West. I looked up at the night sky as I always do. I immediately noticed 4 to 5 sequence of lights equally spaced out in a line. My initial thought was the “Winter Solstice”, perhaps stars lined up as I have never seen before. After looking closer I had noticed there was movement to the light. My second thought was our Military. (I would guess this was at approximately 45,000 feet elevation and at 30⁰ above the horizon) I started counting the lights as they were moving. I could only see 8 at one time. (If I were to hold up a ruler to the sky where the lights were traveling, I would say that the activity would be roughly 8-9” in length at arm’s length). The lights continued to move steadily East into what appeared to be a “cloud/mass”. I could see stars all around this mass but could not see stars beyond this mass. I was compelled to continue to watch their path. I noticed that not one part of the sequenced lights had exited this cloud like mass. Then I realized something else was occurring. The “cloud/mass” that the lights were traveling into appeared to be 35⁰ above the horizon. This filled up my view to be approximately 35⁰ wide and 15⁰ up & down relative to size. I walked out further into the yard and noticed that these lights were continuously coming from a “void” in the sky. At this point I had counted 12 + from the time I started counting but there were more in total. There appeared to be a barrier (energy field?) just south of the lights. I could only see 8 lights at one time and noticed that the 3 light exiting the “void” and the 3rd light entering the “cloud/mass” was much brighter than the others. I continued to watch for another 30-45 seconds and noticed a plane flying direct North towards the activity and at a much lower elevation. (Approximately 25,000 feet). From my sight this plane appeared to have “intercepted” the 3rd brightest light entering the “cloud/mass”. It looked like the plane had paused then changed direction moving East North East in a sharp turn. The 3rd light that was entering into the “cloud/mass” appeared to have shot off into the “cloud/mass”. I noticed the 3rd brightest light exiting the “void” had shot off directly North and all other lights dissipated/vanished! As my attention was diverted to the aforementioned plane for a brief period of time, I then looked back in the vicinity of the “cloud/mass” and noticed a clear star field (the “cloud/mass” vanished) .

Gladwin, MI

My stepdad was outside when he saw a line of bright lights that seemed to be moving from North to South. The lights were very small, but he knew something was off about tthem. Once he had me outside I looked up to the sky and I too saw the line of lights. Before he told me he thought they were moving I brought it up. He told me to go get the binoculars to get a slightly better look. When I came back out and looked up I started to shake immensely. I saw that they were moving very fast. As I watched the front object move forward past other lights in the sky it suddenly disappeared. My stepdad had watched it disappear too because he asked me if it just vanished from the sky. Then I took off the binoculars and noticed you could see about 6 at a time in a straight line with even gaps between them moving at about the same speed. Once one disappeared another appeared on the horizon. Eventually there was only one left and we watched it as it flew then suddenly disap! peared from view. We stood outside for a couple more minutes discussing what we had just witnessed. P.s. How they just vanished from sight kind of reminded me of in Star Wars when they go into hyper speed. That by far was the scariest thing I have ever witnessed and probably will witness in my entire life.

Coal City, IL

Moving swiftly, vertical into sky & disappeared, one at a time,at same location. 3 small aircraft seen well below 'disappearing sight' buzzing around, perhaps noticed them, too. One final light lagged behind, sped up & 'disappeared' at same spot.

Sedalia, MO

There were approximately 15 circular lights in formation coming from the west heading East. Then the lights would disappear at the same spot in the eastern sky into a triangle shape of stars.. Then one would appear from the west coming East. It to disappeared into a formation of triangle shaped stars. This went on every 2 to 3 minutes.

Morrison, IL

12 starlike lights traveling from the southwest going towards the north. Separated in equal distance and traveled faster than an airplane would. They would travel so far and then disappear in the same spot. Then there was one last light that traveled behind and did the same thing.

Aurora, IL

See a lot of airplanes fly overhead toward Ohare and Midway. Initially thought of multiple airplanes traveling on the same IFR, until I noticed the lights never blinked. Somewhere between 20 and 25 lights were spaced approximately the same distance apart and were traveling in the same direction. At one location in the sky the lights would becoming dimmer until they disappeared. They all disappeared at the same physical location in the sky. I could not capture video because my camera could not focus on the dim lights.

Elkhorn, WI

At 6:35 PM , while walking my dog in my back yard I often watch the sky. Tonight I saw something I have never seen before. Approximately 7 lights in line from the horizon straight up. These lights were much like stars. No flashing, just like moving bright stars. It was a clear, no moon night sky. Then I realized they were slowly moving. As they moved the first would disappear but another (nearest the horizon) would appear. I realized they were actually moving from west to east, but at a very slow speed and high altitude. So slow that at first I wasn’t sure they were moving. I called my husband out to see it too. It lasted a good 15 minutes, until they all disappeared, one by one never veering from course. We live outside of a small city and can see the night sky. Also there was no sound from them.

Twin Lakes, WI

While looking in the western sky three of us saw 6 to 7 non-blinking star like lights evenly spaced traveling in a straight line from west to east. They appeared to move upward as they slowly disappeared one by one.

Herscher, IL

I was walking our 2 huskies and to the west of our home on the 7000 south rd. I noticed a string of what i thought were stars forming a constellation until i realized i have never seen this particular formation in the sky. the reason i thought they were stars at first , is because they did"nt blink like strobes on typical aircraft do.So when i stopped and picked a fixed object in the sky, i could see that all of the objects were moving in a straight line, evenly spaced apart and moving from the southwest to the northeast. There was no jet engine noise like the air traffic coming from O'hare and Midway airports. The other strange thing i noticed , is when eachn of the objects reached a certain area of the north easterly direction they were all travelling, they disappeared one after the other until they were all gone. The objects i observed were to high in the night sky to determin if they were saucer, cigar shape, or for that matter , maybe high altitud! e bombers or fighters flying in military formation and when they got to a certain altitude, they all turned off their landing lights one by one. I don't know what i witnessed, but for all of the years we have lived out here in the country and all of the times i have looked to the stars, i have never seen anything like i did tonight. I was the only witness to what i saw because by the time i got back to the house to get my wife to come outside to witness what i had seen, They were gone .

Huntley, IL

5 lights maybe more. Moving from South to North in a straight line, hundreds of feet apart. At first look they seemed like stars, however they were all moving in a straight light faster than a plane flies at a high altitude. When they got to a certain point in the sky, the lights just disappeared one by one. There were no clouds in the sky on this night.

Kansasville, WI

Looking to the west above the horizon at about 18:35 several of us saw these lights coming from the west. One after the other spaced about a minute apart they would come from the west in a straight line then disappear as they got about overhead. This went on for about 15 minutes.

My wife and I were out walking the dog tonight at 6:30 PM, 18:30 hours when we looked to the southwest, a line of lights we’re moving in the sky, perfectly spaced distance between them, and going to the northeast. I have watched the International Space Station travel overhead many times which is approximately 250 miles above in orbit. Theses objects appeared much higher up, the same size as stars, traveling in a straight line, at least eight of them stretched halfway across the horizon and traveled perfectly spaced apart to the northeast. It was stunning to see these objects, they looked like a whole new constellation of perfectly aligned stars, only they were moving fast inline. The objects travel across the horizon for about 10 minuets, continuing northeast until we lost sight of them.
