Winnetoon, NE
I stepped outside around 6:00 a.m. this morning to take a quick glance at the sky as I'm an amateur astronomer. I noticed what appeared to be a satellite but was moving from Southwest to Northeast. To my surprise there was another similar object following directly behind the first in exactly the same direction. When I looked down towards the Southwest several more objects were present spaced exactly the same distance apart and all heading in the same SW to NE direction. Initially I thought these were maybe military craft but there was no sound whatsoever and they appeared to be much higher in the sky similar to satellites. I'm not certain how many objects in total there were prior to my observation. I counted 8 while I was watching.

On 11/24/2019 I went out to my deer hunting stand. I got to the stand and laid down in it flat on my back to wait for the sun to come up. It was very close to 6:00 a.m. Central Time. It was a very clear night sky (technically early morning) with only a sliver of moon and I was just enjoying the stars when I saw what looked like a star traveling across the sky but rather quickly, about a ¼ the speed of a shooting star. It went in a NNE direction. As I was trying to figure out what would travel at such a speed I spotted another one on the same trajectory and then another and another, usually spaced a similar distance but not always. Some were rather close together but always on the same path and speed. All told I counted 29 of them and the very last one was slightly off the path of the others. I cannot reason what could travel that speed so far in the sky. The lights did not blink and they did not fade while traveling until they just got to far off in the distance. ! Like I said, they looked exactly like the stars around them and there was 29 of them. It was very quiet, no wind and yet there was no noise. Sincerely rb

A string of 30+ evenly spaced objects, like stars, were in a straight line. Heading NE, two to three times faster than the commercial planes visible at the same time. No sound, not blinking, continuously light, heading toward us and going away. Directly overhead. One broke formation and in 90 degrees went SW. One pair few side by side in close proximity to each other. The rest were evenly spaced. Observers were 65 and 30 years old. Construction sales and asset relocation specialist.

Ottawa, KS
I live in east central Kansas, at approximately 6:00 I was observing a cloudless sky just before sunrise, admiring the big dipper and I saw a row of lights. I counted 15 at least. perfectly spaced, traveling In a northeastern direction at what must have been a height altitude, no sound and all had matched speeds except for one that’s was offset Slightly from the rest moving faster. I hope more people report.

Marthasville, MO
Warren County Missouri 5:55 AM on Sunday November 24th. While preparing to deer hunt, two hunters noticed a string of bright lights in the Northern part of the sky moving from the West to Northeast. The string of lights were in a straight line and evenly spaced for the most part and crossed the entire early morning sky. It’s difficult to estimate the number of total lights observed but was close to one hundred. Occasionally a second light would parallel the string of lights slightly above the string but at the identical pace. The lights lasted for five to ten minutes after first being observed. As the sun began to rise the lights became fainter but finished crossing the sky prior to sunrise. The lights were very high in the sky and reminded me of when a satellite or the space station goes by.

As many as one hundred lights traveling in single file moving in a northeast direction — evenly spaced and only three or four times were they seen in groups of two — all were moving at the same steady speed — there were no colored lights or strobe lights

Bonduel, WI
I was resting after I was walking to my deer hunting tree stand in the Navarino State Wild Life Area at 5:30 AM. I’m disabled and unable to walk very far at one time, needing a rest now and then to rest my legs & back. I decided I needed to rest, I was laying down on the ground face up looking at the stars. I always look to a group of 3 horizontal Stars at 332 degrees NW because I’ve always loved the way they look from my home located in Keshena, Wi. I noticed a group of what I thought were vertical stars that I’ve never noticed before. I watched the group of 7 or so stars at 307 degrees NW start moving slowly (actually it had to be a fantastic speed after watching) at a south eastern direction. As this group moved MANY others followed that weren’t there earlier, they just seemed to appear from no where. The others just would pop out of the dark, cloudless sky and begin traveling a straight line across the sky, following one another, traveling over me, layin! g on my back looking up, also moving in the SW direction IN a straight formation. These STARS were not Jet Planes or Satellites (I’ve observed both and I have viewed the space station travel across the sky a few times, also from my home in Keshena, Wi) because occasionally 1 or 2 would pass one another very quickly or move around in the sky in fdother directions always going back into their place in line after a short time. I counted 31 of these STARS (UFO’s) only after I realized these were not stars I was watching. Most of them followed each other in a perfect line, except a few that made some unbelievable movements at unbeatable speed. These STARS all started to disappear after going a very long distance over head in a very short period of time (I watched all of these UFO’s go from one end of the sky to the other in about 20 minutes. All of these objects suddenly Started to disappeared 1 after another when they reached a certain point in the sky at 121 degrees SE. I have! observed a few other objects from my home in Keshena, Wiscons! in 54135 from time to time. Never have I observed more than 2 objects at once (5 times it was 1 object, 3 times I watched 2 objects “playing with one another”) This actually scared me a little, after I started to understand what I just witnessed. I didn’t know what these could be except UFO’s. I observed these UFO’s for approximately 25 minutes after I decided to write the time and direction of travel down in my phone. I am NOT a nut, I am being truthful about everything. I hadn’t started counting until I realized these stars were actually UFO’s. They looked like stars though, white stars in the sky, no clouds, calm night, the moon was barely visible, almost a sliver. PLEASE contact me as I’d like to discuss this with someone. I’ll be returning to Navarino State Wild Life Area again Wednesday because I am unable to hunt by myself due to my severe back problems. Thank you, I will look forward to speaking with someone in the near future possibly? I would also be happy to show someon! e the actual location, at the actual time of this incident if someone would like. Again, Thank You

Over 100 "stars" flying overhead in a single file formation with a few flying side by side. The lights were seen by me and my dad and we watched for 5 min before heading into our tree stands. There were more coming when we left.

Kirksville, MO
Lights appeared at 10 o’clock high in sky traveling southwest to northeast. They traveled in mostly straight line formation and made no noise. One of the few not in formation seemed to join each other and become one light. The entire sighting lasted from 0530 to about 0600 and approximately 65 to 85 lights were observed

Looking east about 45 degree from horizon. Multiple objects appeared from dark sky and tracked behind each other and then disappeared. They just appeared in a part of the sky and followed each other. No sounds, no flashing lights. Looked similar to what the Space Station looks like but there were many of them and followed each other. These were not "shooting stars".

They all traveled from the southwest to the northeast. They went in a mostly single file pattern. One after another. All looked similar to venus looks from earth(bright white lights) They all continued northeast until fading out of view. Took about 20-30 seconds to cross the sky beginning to end. Every few objects another would travel next to one like an escort. On northern side of line of objects. I saw like a flare type white streak under them a time or two. I could see sever small dimmer objects observing from what appeared further away. I would guess 3-4. If I were to guess direction of objects travel I would guess Hudson Bay or Baffin Island from southeast Kansas. I was so in awe I didn't think to try and capture with phone until afterwards. Used old picturesto give example. I have seen a lot if odd thing's from the wilds of Idaho to Texas my entire life. I watch things by my nature. I never ever saw unknown objects so numerical or almost robotic in feel. Nothing that I felt compelled to share, ever. There was air traffic and don't know how this wouldn't be seen from a large radius. It was very clear and very open and easy to see. I am still rattled 14+ hours later

Gaylord, KS
I was deer hunting and was standing outside the camper gazing up at the sky. The stars were amazing out in the country. As I observed I noticed one light/star moving. I thought well that must be an airplane but the light did not blink then I noticed at a little ways back a second light moving exactly as fast and in the same direction as the first, then a third, a forth, a fifth, a sixth, a seventh, an eighth, a ninth, and a tenth. The string of lights was all the same brightness, size, and moving as if on a string from the south west to the north east. It covered a vast area from my view they stretched out over half the sky.

Moody, OK
Watched a line of approx 40 lights in sky flying East in a straight line. No noise. No flashing lights. Each light was directly behind another light. As we watched the string of lights we noticed that the were appearing one by one, appearing to come from above, not from the West, at 357 degrees North then flying East. When lights were first noticed in sky there were already a long line going East. I began counting from that point and counted approx 40 lights. Each one was spaced out behind one another but were very high in sky. Tried to video with phone but only had a black screen. Weather was clear with no light interference around.

Rich Hill, MO
My son and I were camping West of Rich Hill Missouri deer hunting. At between 5:30 and 6:00 AM I woke up and went outside to go to the bathroom. It was still dark outside. I looked up and saw 2 what I thought were Satellite's moving West to East. I then saw 2 more behind them moving the same speed, the same distance apart moving the same direction. I thought it was kind of cool so I woke my son to show him. By the time he got out of the truck there were 3 more. We ended up counting 34! All moving in the same direction, at the same speed, all the same distance apart. Except the last was offset to the north a little. They seemed to appear from the same spot. We couldn't see them coming from the East. They just appeared and traveled west. They looked just like stars. Just as bright with no flashing lights

At approximately 0530 on 24 November 2019, I observed approximately 10-12 white "stars" moving from the Southwest to the Northeast in a perfect linear formation. All of the "stars" were equally spaced between each other and traveling at a constant speed. There was one "star" on the left flank of the formation approximately 8 "stars" back from the lead "star." There were no blinking lights observed, as they were all a constant star-like coloration. The weather conditions were clear and no sounds were heard. I am a retired military officer (23 years). Based upon my extensive military experience, I am 100% confident that this was NOT a military aviation formation, as the speed of the "stars" and number of craft observed do not support a military aircraft scenario

I woke up early and took my dog outside, it was still dark and I was looking at the night sky when I though I saw a satellite, I watched it for a few seconds before it disappeared, I then noticed several more following in the same direction, all equal distant apart except for one which was flying to the right of the group, I counted ten in a row that were going North to South. The all looked like satelittes or stars (very high), no flickering from lights and they were moving too fast for an aircraft. I was an aviator in the US military for 30 years and have never seen anything like this.

On the morning of 11/24/2019 at 0520 as I was warming up the my vehicle to go into work, I noticed some strange lights in the SE part of the sky above the moon. What caught my attention at first was two bright solid lights going across the sky, not too fast or too slow, wider wingspan than a commercial airliner at that distance. No clouds or any obstructions for my view, as I was watching that first light I started to notice multiple single bright lights following it. As far as I could tell they were going at the same speed and keeping the same distance from each other. I then noticed that they seemed to to just appear at the same point in the sky. I looked for them to be traveling across the sky, however, I only noticed to becoming visible from the same spot in the sky. I would have to say that at least 20 lights that I noticed. The same two bright lights beside each other came and nothing else was seen. I could not make out any shape of an aircraft, just s! trange lights that were following each other.

Falcon, CO
I saw 29 pin points of light appear one by one at a point in the sky and follow the same trajectory. There may have been more lights, but that is the total from when I started counting. Most were evenly spaced apart and others were closer together, but all followed the same flight path. They moved slowly and continued until they disappeared on the horizon.

At 4:40-4;58am my husband and myself witnessed a line of star-like lights That seemed to enter our atomosphere and move across the sky traveling south to north east. The lights were in a straight line formation, evenly spaced except every 8-10 lights, two were traveling almost abreast. They were moving at a steady speed. Definitely not aircraft. We thought satellite except for the numbers. We believe there were 75-100!! It was strange how the lights entered into our our view. Almost like they flew in through a port hole above Louisville Co. We are educated and not crazy. This was weird.

I’m an amateur astrophotographer. I had just set up for another round of exposures on the Orion Nebula. I had stepped back from my imaging rig while it ran and was viewing Orion with a smaller hand held refractor. 5 relatively dim lights in an almost straight line passed into the view of my scope. It was odd, so I tracked it by hand all the way to the horizon where I lost sight of it. I spend at least a couple nights a week imaging deep sky objects. I’m used to seeing planes, satellites, meteors, and other normal things. This one was different. The lights were too dim to be a normal plane, way dimmer than stars. They were dim, but seemed large, like they were closer than a satellite would be. They would have been too dim to see with the naked eye though. They were not in a perfectly straight line, but stayed the same distance from each other. So I’m assuming they were part of the same object. All five lights were the same size, shape, and brightness. I woul! d describe them as a really dim orange or brown color. They traveled across the sky about as fast as a plane would. I am aware of Elon musk’s star link satellites, but I’m pretty sure that isn’t what I saw. I don’t particularly believe in “alien” ufo’s, but I’m not sure what this was and I could not find something that matched what I saw.
