Mother and I noticed two lights in the sky that sat side by side. We drove to Corydon IN and saw them to the west the entire time. By the time we returned home, there was only one of the lights in the sky still

As i was coming home in the NW area of Gainesville.....I saw a HUGE object...either rectangle or cylinder...it was quite some distance away...in the evening sky...west...next to a normal star/planet. I was motionless...twinkling and VERY bright.Almost looked like it was oscillating. The size in comparison to the star was HUGE! My husband and I watched it for about 15 min....went inside ....came back out about 10 min later...and t was gone! NOWHERE to be found. The star had remained in the same position..but this object was gone. There were also 6-8 white lights all over the sky.Lots of helicopters flying around outside now.

We looked through a pair of binoculars (5x30 Bushnell) and it appeared there were colored lights around the objects. As we started to check the lights out a general aviation plane flew between our position and the lights and it appeared to be at about 5,000 (I'm a student pilot). He could have seen them. Then cloud cover came in and it was hard to tell if they were dimming or not. Then clouds covered them up. We ended trying to see more. With no movement like that I suppose they may have been two stars, but they seemed far to bright for that and I've never seen stars in that position with that level of brilliance ever before.

Two lights side by side very bright on the southwest night sky. We thought they were stars but the location appeared to be too low in the sky. After a couple of minutes the right light faded out. It re appeared in about a minute. They never moved or appeared to drift away. We live by 2 airports and know what aircraft look and sound like at night. These two balls of white light glowed bright and made no sound. It was difficult to judge the distance or size.

Circle looking silver object was hovering in the sky as I was driving past chick fil a towards Boone on 421 I thought I was crazy and even sprayed my windshield and wipers but it was still there. Weather was great and no clouds absolutely no way it was aircraft because it was there then it was gone so fast and not moving in the sky

While performing a mapping project and monitoring a mapping drone i.e. I am looking up to keep the drone in sight I noticed a black and white tumbling object at what "appeared" to be very high altitude (thousands of feet vs a small object closer to the ground) above the general area I was working in. No visible exhaust or means of propulsion. The object did not appear to be traveling in a linear motion i.e. like a fixed wing aircraft but was maintaining position while it rotated on all axis changing from black to white i.e. one or more surfaces where white black. It appeared to have some flat surfaces almost like a cube. I looked away and could not relocate the object. Weather conditions were clear with bright sunshine and a wispy cloud layer at very high altitude.

Intermittently since around 7am I and my neighbor have heard and felt a very deep rumbling throughout our neighborhood. It lasts about a minute with the longest sustained for around 2 minutes. Very unsettling as i cant see anything overhead that would cause it and the sound doesnt seem to move at all when it comes. Other neighbors dogs who were being walked outside all went nuts barking and panicking just now while i was outside.

I went to let my dogs out at approx 6:10am this morning it was still pretty dark out yet so visibility was pretty good In the night sky with very little if not any cloud cover. I often look up at the sky this time of year because of the waterfowl usually flying over. I happened to notice a bright white light traveling from west southwest towards the Northeast. I thought nothing of it at first because we typically see allot of satellites traveling over head in the night and early morning. I watched it for a minute then happened to see another one trailing behind the first one and it appeared to be a few to several miles behind the initial light. I thought that to be strange but not completely out of the ordinary. Then I saw another and another and another. Then sometimes 2 close together but not connected. Then another and another. It was a constant stream of separate lights all flying in the same direction at presumably the same altitude. It was quiet and very little wind so I could hear that they made no noise and no vapor trail was visible. As we see many commercial jets fly over all the time and they are easy to differentiate. I yelled at my son To come outside to see if he could see what I was seeing and he and I stood and watched no less than 57 separate flying objects passed over in a 20 min period flying on that same heading. Sometimes pretty good distances apart and several flying fairly close together. But we felt the pattern was quite random to be sure. I am a military vet and I’ve seen allot of different strategic flying formations, from both Navy and Air Force and I felt this was just to weird to ignore. We counted 57 but am not sure how long it had been going on before I spotted em. We tried recording the images but they were to small to pick up on our phone cameras.

Tuesday 25 Nov 2019 This is the description of events happening this morning between 1200Z - 1230Z. My wife was preparing to go to work and was taking the dogs (2) outside to toilet. At 1205Z she saw a bright light out of her peripheral vision and looked up to see a bright object, shot straight up and instantly disappeared. She continued watching the sky in the same area and saw a dimmer object, then another and another. At that time she came inside the house and told me I should go out and see the lines. I was still in bed since I've been retired for 2 years and use to sleeping in later. I quickly got dressed, slipped on slippers and was going to go outside when she came in from outside and I asked her again about the "lines". She confirmed there was a "line of lights" going across the sky and kept coming and coming. I went out to the front lawn and didn't see anything at first but she showed me where to look. Sure enough there were lots and lots of them streaming from the West going East in the Northern sky. The sky was completely clear and dark and the Eastern sky was beginning to show signs of sunrise. At no time did I see any trails out of the objects or hear any noise. I could not see if there were exterior lights. These objects were lighted of medium brightness (like that of a normal satellite) and were continuous (not blinking on and off) from the time they came above the trees in the West to the time I lost sight of them in the East. Maximum elevation was about 60 degrees above the Northern horizon. They were traveling faster than any satellite I have seen before taking about 10 seconds to traverse the sky. The interval between objects was about two thumb widths but varied. They seemed to be in groups of say 30 objects then a longer interval of say 5 seconds or so before the next group would start across the sky. The brightness of all the objects was the same intensity. However, at two times during the entire observation I saw one much brighter object and traveling much faster come from the West to overtake a less bright object. Then slow down to the less bright object and quickly circle around and stop for a second and then continue on at a faster speed. In this continuous line of single objects there would be a cluster of objects frequently together in the line, like a squadron and varied in brightness a little. This went on for 20 minutes nonstop. The end came about 1225Z when my wife was just before leaving for work. I got back in the house at 1228Z. This is the most fantastic and amazing thing I have ever witnessed in my life. I kept asking myself while viewing the objects if this was a dream or is it real. It was like something out of a Star Wars movie but live and in person. We hope someone, maybe many people saw the same thing. We really did see this!

At 6:00 AM I was taking out the garbage. When I looked up at the sky I saw two lights similar in appearance to stars moving east northeast across the handle of the big dipper. It was partly cloudy, with a large break of clear sky. When the two object disappeared from view to the east, I looked back to the west and saw more moving lights irregularly spaced; but all in a straight line on the same heading east northeast. Two of the lights were side-by-side and one light had a much dimmer light traveling at it’s side. The points of light were bright white at varying distances from each other and occasionally one or more would increase in speed momentarily. There were 18 to 20 of them all on the same heading, eventually traveling through the handle of the Big Dipper and then disappearing from view in the eastern sky. They were traveling much faster than a satellite, and much slower than a meteorite. The whole viewing event took appx. 2-3 minutes.

Westerville, OH
Approximately 5:50 a.m. I saw a string of lights moving in a straight line to the northeast over Westerville, Ohio, not far from Johnstown. My first sighting was a pair of lights in close formation moving at a pace consistent with a high-flying aircraft. The lights were white and steady. A third light appeared approximately 5-10 degrees behind the initial pair, moving at the same rate and in the same direction. For the next ten minutes, lights appeared in the same spot in the sky, at a point midway between the Big Dipper and the pole star. Most of the lights were in the same straight line, evenly spaced, but occasionally another pair would appear instead of a single light. This continued for a total of 5 to 10 minutes, ending shortly before 6 a.m. I didn't count the lights, but there were at least 20 and perhaps as many as 30. At the same time I saw other aircraft in the sky, in different locations, all blinking lights, from which I heard engine sound, but t! he string of lights moving to the northeast were silent.

I went out for a walk at 5:50 AM PST and was surprised that it was a clear night sky, since I went to bed to heavy rain. As I walked south on our loop taking in the amazing stars, I saw what appeared to be 2 stars moving from my left to right – they appeared to be a similar distance apart as two stars in the big dipper handle. They were moving quite rapidly, and my initial assumption was that it was the space station but, then told myself there wouldn’t be two. I watched for about a minute and was going to run back to the house to wake my wife to see it… as I paused, I noticed a whole stream of similar lights following in somewhat equidistant distance but in a following formation. There were about 10 in total zooming from west to east. At this point, I ran in, woke up my wife and had her outside in less than 2 minutes hoping they were not gone… to my surprise, I saw the tail end of the original set, with a new set that were heading east in a slightly more northeast direction which were led by 4 lights and then another 6 or more trailing single file. They all moved from west to east and disappeared from sight because of the trees – we have tall trees in the neighborhood, so I would assume my viewing angle is about 40 degrees west to east.. There were no sounds and they were quite small like the space station – I watched as an airplane passed just minutes later and I could faintly hear the jet as it passed and the jet “light” footprint was larger than the unidentified lights. My initial thoughts… - I am up every morning for years and have never witnessed anything like this before, though I often see aircraft and hear them since SeaTac airport is about 40 miles north of us - There were 2 distinct sets of objects – the first moving east on a slight southerly tangent, the second which my wife also saw moving east on a slight northerly tangent - The distance between the objects was not consistent – it appeared if one would speed up to catch another but I never saw one move past the one in front of it; they were definitely a group and they were definitely trailing each other in a very organized fashion - They moved rapidly across the sky, similar to the international space station moves in relation to my view We live near JBLM and our initial thought was military aircraft… but 20 or more? That would be a lot of military craft. With no sound accompanying? With the ability at a distance to close the gaps between them in seconds?

I was looking up in a north easterly direction through a gap in the trees. It was dark. I saw what I thought was a satellite. The light was a little brighter than the usual satellite but not as bright as the space station. Then I saw another light appear from behind the trees following in the same trajectory as the first one I saw. They just kept coming. There were at least thirty if not more. Sometimes they travelled in pairs side by side but all travelled in the same line. There may have been more that preceded the ones I saw but I can only vouch for the ones I saw when I first looked up at the sky. I watched until no more passed by. It took about two minutes for them to all pass.

A line of approximately 50 maybe more, in formation for almost 10 minutes. Looked as though they were satellite sized but too many for this to be the case and flying in formation at high speed in the distance. There were three times in the line that there were two side by side and then once with three side by side. Moving in direction towards Washington, DC. I’m thinking maybe a military exercise but that was a very large amount of aircraft.

This morning as I was warming up my car I noticed a light traveling steadily across the sky. I thought it was a satellite at first but then noticed two other lights at different distances traveling with it. I stopped and continued to watch as more and more were popping up! All at different intervals and to my North East. They weren't appearing from the skyline, but instead between the stars Perseus and Cassiopeia, where the light would slowly fade in from out of nowhere. Then the light was remain stable for a few seconds before taking off East. They moved a little faster than a satellite's pace across the sky. And would fly into the same line as one another. So some lights would appear around the same time, wait, and then one by one would take off east and fly in a line. We also saw two lights appear that were very close together, and moved together across the sky without getting closer or further apart. I could almost see the light reflecting onto something! that was between them. It wasn't pitch dark between them the way it was dark on the outsides of the lights. It looked like it was a humongous ship! The distance between the lights was similar to the size of a cargo ship out a few miles off shore. These lights seemed very high up, as the lights were dimmer than the two stars around them, but bright enough to clearly see them and make out the slight details in the big one. They didn't make any noise either. I watched this for a few minutes before running inside to get my girlfriend to come out as well and she also witnessed them. We saw the giant ship together, followed by more of the single lights. This continued on for over 10 minutes before some cloud cover overhead made the lights and stars no longer visible. I tried to get video of it, but I only had my phone on me and the phone couldn't even make out the steady stars let alone the traveling lights. All that's on the video is audio of my girlfriend and I talking about w! hat we saw. Who knows how long this was happening before I saw! it, but I did not see the beginning nor the end of these mysterious UFO's/Lights flying across the sky. It looked something like a fleet arriving one by one from "hyper space" if you will. Like straight out of Star Wars. And it was at a steady random pace, every time I thought it was the end, I'd see a few more appear and then more! Once the cloud covered the event, I had to drive my girlfriend to the bus stop to get her bus to the city. We tried to see more on the drive but the clouds had taken up the sky. The sun then came up and haven't been able to see anything else. I contacted the FAA through an email with the same details from this report. I can let you know if I hear anything from them, and feel free to call or email me with any questions. Thank you.

Between 05:15 and 05:45 am on Nov. 25, 2019, I witnessed several dozen satellite objects emerging from same SSW origin and in single file formation travel ENE. A coworker then joined me to witness several more dozen crafts before a third coworker and resident,from facility I work at, observed 30+ more. All were traveling in a straight line and evenly spaced; no pics or vids taken and the viewing only stopped because of cloud cover. I personally saw more than 75 crafts in this formation in less than 1/2 hour.

Sheridan, WY
I was waking up for a the morning hunt 10 miles south of the Tongue river reservoir when I was looking up at the sky to the east and observed 4 or 5 bright lights suddenly appear in the sky out of no where. The objects where spaced apart at equal distances and traveling south to north. I looked away and closed my eyes for a moment and looked up again and watched them continue to travel north. After a minute or two of watching them more began to appear at the same place the others appeared, approximately 10 more began to appear one at a time at equal distance and speed from each other but there were a few traveling in pairs. Watch them travel north until they went out of view. All of them emitted a bright steady light as they traveled. There were no blinking or colored lights observed that would indicate conventional aircraft.

This sighting happened in the Gallatin Valley, east of Belgrade, Montana. On the early morning the 25th, of November, 2019. my wife who is an early riser, was out on the porch smoking a cigarette. The sky was very clear and cold out about 25 degrees. She was looking the stars of the night. When she observed a couple of lights moving across the sky in a spaced out pattern. There became more, which seemed to be popping out of the black space. She felt if she left to wake me up from sleep would be fruitless that they would be gone. Well, they kept coming, and then awoke me from my sleep to see these lights. Well I did see the lights after about 12 of them had already moved on and they just kept coming out of dark space. Just fainter then some of the bright stars, but they kept coming out of the dark up rather high in the sky. No blinking, but much like satellites, they moved off with no sound. A propeller plane was coming by now behind us low and I was hoping they somehow would see this two. This continued for maybe 15- 20 minutes and we counted 40 lights total moving in the same direction toward the Bridger Mtns. and NE.. Twice 2 of these lights popped out at the same time. The best description I can give is like that TV denture cleaning commercial where they pull a string of pearls out of a baked fruit pie, one after another in a very precised spaced out pattern. But the lights appeared out of nothing in the black space. This is not the first time I have seen strange lights, in this area. Also camping in the Beartooth wilderness there are quite a few strange light movements going on.

Just before sunrise on the morning of the 25th of November 2019 I was sitting in my hot tub with three other friends at my property near bald rock in berry creek California and we were observing satellites and discussing them when we saw what looked like four satellites very close to each other moving from the west to towards the east. They were in a staggered line formation, all traveling the same speed and direction, approximately the same speed a satellite moves, but a bit slower, and at first we thought they were satellites on a similar orbit. As the objects passed from our far left to far right field of vision we began seeing more and more of these objects essentially moving in a staggered line formation and stretching for well over a mile. It took at least three minutes for them to all pass to the far right of our field of view and out of sight. There were several triangle formations within this staggered line but it appeared they were three separate o! bjects, not on me triangular shaped object. There was no sound and no bright lights. Just a steady line of these dots that were unambiguously remarkable. The sky was completely clear and there were no clouds. After approx two minuites of watching I ran to get another friend who confirmed what we were seeing as he was still able to see about ten of these objects in the last minute or so that they were visible so that makes five witnesses total. . I have seen many strange things out in the mountains where I live because there is very little light pollution but this was single handed lay the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen.
