Eagar, AZ
Driving home tonight about 5 miles south east of town and saw a line of strange lights traveling south bound maybe 1000-1500 feet off the ground and climbing at a slight angle. At first i thought it was multiple craft in a line, maybe helicopters or something. I had my binoculars in the front seat and quickly pulled over and turned off my car. When I looked at the lights in the binos I clearly saw that this was one large long skinny craft, making no sound what so ever. The lights in the craft were varying brightness and looked like lights within a ship. I watched in total shock for what seamed to be 60 or more seconds before the lights slowly dimmed and disappeared as this "craft thing" headed south. I'm out at night in the wilderness all the time, that's all we have out here is open spaces. Never in my life have i ever seen anything like this. No explanation, sure would like some answers. believe 100% this was something significant and not of this world. I don't feel comfortable talking about this. people will think I'm crazy but it was there.

About 9 or 10 lit up triangle shapes flew south over Vegas. I watched until they disapeared. They traveled in a slight beam of light.

On the night of the 11th, my husband and I were returning from town. Our home is rural (dead center of the DELMARVA Peninsula) with a perfect night sky for star watching, which I do regularly. I stepped out of my truck on the west side facing the Chesapeake Bay. While looking out and upward, I thought I identified Orion’s belt, but I quickly realized that is was 4 stars not 3 and the rest of his body was missing. I looked to the east towards the moon and identified a bright star to its bottom left. I looked back at the 4 stars and realized they were moving. The lights appeared to be far above plane altitudes as there were multiple planes flying in different directions at different altitudes (normal activity). The planes were obvious by their running lights. Additionally, there is a great deal of government activity, regularly, so planes and the associated noise are normal. I began to yell to my husband to “look, look, what is that?” Immediately, in my heart,! I knew it was not earthly. At first, I thought the “star-like lights” were horizontal beside each other, but then I realized they were moving single file, one behind the other. Most important to their movement was the distance between them never wavered. It was if they were connected somehow by material or an unseen force. The first two were closer to one another, and then the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th light were evenly distributed. My first thought on their movement was how the animation of Santa sailing across the sky moves…deliberate, smooth, silent, racing. It was like the lights were a train with an engine car and then individual cars. I was mad at myself for not having my phone, which I had noted earlier when I missed the beaver moon shot on the way to town. I wanted to run to the house to get it, but I was afraid of missing any of this event. The lights appeared to be moving from the south west on a curve directly towards and over our farm. As they moved closer, I ran to th! e house through the west side door, grabbed the phone, and hea! ded out the south side door (mere seconds). I fumbled to get the recorder going as I continued to watch the event unfold. The 4 lights continued what seemed like a curve and headed south east. As they trailed away, I could only see the last light because of their single file position. The video is terrible. I hold a PhD in Public Policy, and we are the largest free-range egg farm in Maryland.

Walking with children and they pointed up and asked what it was. I couldn't see it until it passed in front of a star and it distorted the view of the star. Which I then saw it. I could see through it in parts. No noise. Much slower then a plane and very close to the building.

Some friends and I had just arrived home after being out for a while and when I parked the car in my driveway, one of my friends noticed a strange object in the sky that seemed to be moving. It was almost like looking at a straight line of lights moving silently across the sky. It disappeared after about 4 or 5 minutes.

Quartzsite, AZ
In the evening of 11/11/19, we were sitting next to our RV at an RV park in Quartzsite. We were facing west. We had been sitting there for about 45 minutes when we noticed a well organized, straight line of lights proceeding from right to left, that is, north to south, against the black night sky. There was little separation among them, but they were discriminable. They were traveling roughly at the speed of airplanes, but what was so striking was how many of the lights there were, and how they were quite well organized into a line. We weren’t sure we could see well all of the ones that were there, partly because the luminosity of some of the lights changed significantly, especially the first and perhaps 3rd and 4th lights, that grew in intensity, and then subsided to that of most of the others. As they proceeded further south, they all grew dimmer, but some of the ones in the rear dimmed faster than some of the ones in the front. This definitely was not a meteor of some kind leaving a trail, it was not a descending arc, and the separation among the lights appeared regular. They were flying at what appeared to be the same, level altitude the whole time they were visible. We pointed them out to the folks sitting next to the RV behind us and they easily confirmed that they could see the same thing we were seeing, a line of what could have been around 15 easily visible lights, led by some that flared up brightly. Not all of the lead lights grew in intensity, just the first and possible the 3rd and 4th, maybe the 5th. My husband and I disagree on exactly how long they were visible to us, but we watched them until they dimmed so much, apparently because they were more distant, that we could no longer see them. I suspect we could see them for about 1-2 minutes, maybe not even that long. I attempted to take a video or photo, but the lights were too dim by the time I tried. They may always have been too dim to capture on an iPhone.

Me and my neighbor were talking outside when we observed A cluster of 10 lights moving slowly heading south of Tucson and then they disappeared after 5 min. Try to take a picture but the lights would not come out on the picture. When we noticed the lights they were on the west side of Tucson heading south.

Maricopa, AZ
We were in our friends backyard. It was a very clear night. You could see some stars. I noticed a string of lights, some brighter than others traveling across the sky, at a slow rate, slightly slower than a plane high up would travel. We watched as the farthest left light climbed higher and the other lights followed. They moved across the sky from north heading south. We watched and then they just disappeared. Were gone but we did watch them for what seemed like a good minute or two. The lights maintained their intensity. We knew it wasn’t a meteor or anything breaking up because the lights weren’t falling down, they were going up and across. They trail of lights to the right was following the farthest one on the left.

Concho, AZ
I was driving from Santa Fe, NM, to Prescott Arizona last night. On the highway, apparently in Concho AZ- just a handful of miles before the petrified forest national monument, I happened to see lights in the sky. Once I focused in on them, it was obvious that this was no optical illusion or military drill. At first, it appeared to be a long string of maybe 25 lights “flying in formation”, very slowly. The nature of their flight path was obscure and sort of hovering upwards as they progressed to the south. It was tilting slightly, which is when I realized the lights were many lights that lined the edges of a seemingly very large triangular craft. It seemed to be huge, bigger than a small town I would imagine. As it tilted further, in could tell it was a solid triangle only by the way it’s shape blocked out stars and such. I watched it fly as it got quicker and quicker towards the south side of the highway, until it angled upwards and flew into the upper atmosphere / outer space. Breathtaking. I was driving while it happened, and tried to take a video but my iPad couldn’t focus in the dark. That is how I have time and location stamp.

15 lights in string formation at a 15 degree angle. Lights were visible only when looking west on I-10. After driving for a minute the lights traveled south and East and disappeared off out of the drivers side window. The speed was slow. No flashing lights were identified as indicating helicopters or passenger flights. The string lights didn’t change formation but were not visible once whatever it was was - was parallel to drivers side window.

Lake Havasu, AZ
A line of lights that were different sizes like a debris field traveled north to south across the sky over Lake Havasu City AZ. They were very bright then faded to dim for a moment the flared again as they traveled as though the sun or moon light hit them a particular way to make them bright. They faded away as they moved away from us going south. They were not in a formal formation but rather a group of lights in a string that were not the same size. Moved similar to a fairly fast satellite.

Lake Havasu, NC
Several white lights in a rough line moved across the sky at a steady pace. It was after sunset but when the “lights” passed what would be assumed to be the recently set sun from the altitude of the objects, the lights were brighter. The brightness returned to how they were previously fairly quickly. The lights were steady and white. The first light seemed to have a headlight beam. There were several lights - about 5 in close proximity to one another, followed by a few more at a short distance. The spacing never changed. It was almost like a plane pulling an advertisement banner at the beach but with lights! Very high in the sky and eventually disappeared.

On November 11, 2019, at approximately 18:55. My family and I, along with a 14 year-old neighbor kid were enjoying the evening in the back yard. We live in Tucson, Arizona. Our home is located about 2 miles north of the Tucson International Airport (TIA) and the Arizona Air National Guard base. As I was conversing with my wife, our 10-year-old son said, “What kind of plane is that?” He pointed to the west and I reluctantly looked because it is a constant question they would ask me. Just to shed some light on my background, I am a 23-year military veteran and former 10-year fire fighter, and 12-year law enforcement officer. I am very familiar with air traffic, types of aircraft, and I also have a bit of surveillance experience on looking for aircraft using binoculars, ground radar, thermal and night vision equipment. So back to my sighting. I told my wife, come look at this! She also watched in amazement and we could not believe what we were seeing. This line of lights was very long and did not appear to be an aircraft of any sorts and I could see it still entering the atmosphere. The object was very long and cruising at a very slow speed. It was entering from the north and traveling south. I would say, it was between the planet Saturn and the star Ras Alhague, slightly above them. As I held my hand out and measured It, it was about 5 inches in length as I looked towards the western sky. It was well above the horizon growing brighter. Each light was perfectly spaced apart, but some had distance between the middle lights. The middle lights seemed brighter, especially the one in the center. We were able to watch it for about a minute or so. It was not a meteor shower or a single meteorite. This was moving way to slow, kind of like watching a balloon float across the sky then it just disappeared out of the atmosphere as it neared just above Saturn. We all tried to take pictures and videos using our Iphones but they could not pick up the image. I have experienced unusual things in my career but nothing ever like this. I immediately called the Davis Monthan air force base operator and asked to be connected to Air Operations management. I got no answer and I hung up. I called a supervisor from the U.S. Border Patrol in Three Points, Arizona, to see if any of their guys reported anything over the radio. Of course, you can imagine I was laughed at! but I know how it is. These are things you just don’t talk about. I hope this description can give some valuable information on what we saw.

We saw an object in the sky with multiple white lights in a straight row. The object was very long at about 1/4 mile long. The object was about 10,000 feet up. The object flew slowly North East to South west direction. The object was very quiet with no engine noise. The sky was very clear and the object left no sort of trail.

While looking out of my living room window to the south,I observed 2 dots , diagonally positioned from each other, 1 slightly brighter than the other( what would normally appear to be Stars/ planets). I often watch the night sky observing orbiting satelites. But these dots were not familiar as I often study SkyView to identify constellations and or passing satellites. As I watched, they slowly grew dimmer and simply vanished without movement . They faded the same way an orbiting satellite would as it moves further from sunlight. To reiterate , these objects were stationary. My first unexplained sighting and felt compelled to report, for whatever its wo
