Grants, AL
Watching the stars in the sky on a road trip when 3 lights moving quickly in unison. Lights appeared to be moving northward. They were dim but collectively blocking out stars behind them. Suddenly 3 lights became 4 lights, it reminded me of the Phoenix lights incident in the 90’s when the lights would slowly fade on and the object started to appear larger. The lights moved together and passed above the car and I could not longer see them. Space Link satellites? PD

There was a line of lights initially that was super heavy about 20. They were brightly flashing at international intervals in a distinct pattern. Then there were more spaced out craft that followed in the distinctly exact same line continuing the flashing pattern. Satellites. PD

On the above date and time I was outside burning trash. I got inside my car and started it to warm up as it was cold outside. I live in the country about 4 miles from town. I stepped outside my car to smoke. I looked up and noticed at least 30 lights about the brightness of a a satellite all moving in a straight line heading in a northeast direction, more east than north. Each light was single equal distance apart from each other about 6 inches long at arms length moving single file in a straight line. I thought I was looking at something burning up in our atmosphere but each light was a single point of light with no trail behind it. Then each light got bright like an iridium flare then went back to normal. Each light was a single point of light. They each got bright for a few seconds dimmed and kept moving in a straight line. After observing for about 15 seconds they all went dim with the last light lighting up bright like an iridium flare and all of them going dark. My neighbors cows all started mooing loudly during this event. Night sky was clear, cold, no wind. Satellites. PD

line of lights moving west to east less than a quarter mile from lake erie. in under one minute there was about 20 or less lights in a row moving in a straight line heading towards lake erie. The middle light would get really dim then get bright and kept doing that. Space Link satellites. PD

Myrtle Beach, SC
We were staying at Myrtle Beach in South Carolina at a hotel called Ocean Reef. Then when we went onto a balcony we saw a circle shaped object fly very fast and then it oaused in midair and stayed for about 30 seconds. Then it went back in the direction it came from and started to land and it landed with a green light. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

My husband and I were walking along the beach, watching the stars on a crystal clear evening, when we saw what we can only describe as a comet with intent. Seemed to have a greenish yellow streak of light in front and a long trail, lighter in color following it. Traveling southwest at high speeds it almost seemed to crash into a satelight or other small, fast moving object of much, much smaller size. Our dog responded but were unsure if it was due to our excitement. It was like witnessing a scene out of Star Wars. Hoping others saw it too, as it was Memorial Day weekend and tons of coastal campers were on the beach.

Conneaut, OH
There was a line of about 15 lights that appeared to all be connected moving across the sky. It was directly overhead in the dark sky with no clouds. The lights were in a perfectly straight line and brightened intermittently. Some lights near the front, middle, or end would become brighter; sometimes one, two, or three showing brightly at the same time with no apparent sequence. The lights were all spaced apart evenly. The line of lights seemed to appear out of nowhere, moved across the sky in a straight line, then one after another disappeared as though they were vanishing into a spot in the sky. (How you would imagine train cars going into a tunnel) This event was estimated to last 60 seconds. This was seen by myself (full time college student and homemaker), my fiance (laborer), and 13 year old daughter. Satellites. PD

My roommate and I were out on the back porch when he told me to look up (northeastern sky). A plane was flying by and way off in the distance was something round, almost shaped like a Ferris wheel. The object was very large, and it almost looked as if it was rolling through the atmosphere. As far as I could count about a dozen lights were on the outside edge of the object. Imagine a giant Ferris Wheel rolling down a hill. The object was only visible for about 15 seconds then it faded off in the distant darkness.

Floyds Knob, IN
We were camping and set up by the creek. All the stars were out and no cloud in sight. All of a sudden a straight line of mostly bright lights hovered over us. Some lights were dimmer than others but these were not stars. They were like orbs of 8 or 9 lights in a straight row. They made no noise, they produced no winds, they just hovered there looking at us for about 5 to 6 minutes. Then they were gone. Again they made no noise, they left behind no streaks in the night sky they were just there for 5 minutes and then gone within the blink of an eye. We kept saying I can't believe this is real. It was a long craft with several glowing lights

I am a retired police officer and my wife is a retired nurse. We had not been drinking. Thirty four or so years ago I observed a Russian satellite beaming apart in the night sky. I then saw at least three objects streaming through the sky which were slowly spreading; last nights observation differe! d in that all of the objects were traveling in a straight line and what appeared to the same speed. I have seen hundreds of meteors, but they last for only a second or so. Satellites. PD

I first saw a falling star. I thought I might see some more so I looked up for a few more seconds. I thought I was seeing one but then noticed one following it, followed by another and so on, New they couldn't be falling stars. They seemed to be traveling at regular intervals in a straight line. Bright, a few brighter or somewhat larger than others, seemed to be very high possibly Going through some high clouds at times and moving very fast. I was considering not reporting this but I believe I have witnessed something rare. P.S, The falling star was moving east to north; the objects were moving west to east. Hope some one else saw them.

We looked you when we saw shooting line formations. We discussed it it was a meteor but it kept flashing in a straight line . Reminds me of a ship shooting a laser. Space Link satellites. PD

Dots in straight lines, multiple led lights rippling in a stream. Followed by more dots moving slower without the pulsing light. Still having sittings North of The Great Bear. Space Link satellites. PD

My cousin and I were walking around our campground at night when I looked up too see a large aircraft directly above my head. It stretched very long, from about the visible length of star Vega to Altair. It was a very long and skinny spacecraft with hundreds of small lights at the bottom that moved very slowly across the sky and turned largely, the way a boat would, before disappearing. Hundreds of lights seemed to all move and one glowed brighter suddenly in the center before dimming back to the same level as the others. It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.

Alternating bright, then dim white light. Zig-zag pattern, as well as up and down. Would shine very brightly, then dim. Sudden, rapid changes in direction too fast for any known aircraft. I'm a private pilot, so I can say this without equivocation. String of Space Link satellites. PD

5/25 Over Custer County CO around 10:15, a “string of pearls” like series of quick moving points of light, closely trailing one another in a straight line, say 15” long with out-streached hands, moving SSW to NNE. There was a faint glow under the trail of objects. Saw with binoculars. Guessing 20-30 objects, separate, but appearing linked. Sighting of Space Link satellites. PD
