They looked like faded stars. They would appear move extremely fast, change directions at times just stop. They were moving in all directions. some were heading north, south east and west. We saw basically 1 at a time. At one point we saw one take off and all of the sudden another appeared and went directly behind it. They flew in straight lines mostly but some would change directions and come to a dead stop. The sightings of them lasted approximately 10-15 seconds or until went under cloud cover. We noticed about 10:30 at night and quit watching around 1:30 am. We have observed many meteor showers, shooting stars and a few comets. Never have we seen anything like this. I am a 53 year old grocery worker. My boyfriend works construction and his niece is 7 years old. We are outdoorsmen. Hunt fish hike and camp. We have spent many times in our mountains. This was something neither of us could explain or have experienced.

Bright stationary red light above home. Light would stay on approximately 10 seconds then completely go out for around 3 seconds then re appear. There was no rhythm to the light. Sometimes it would stay on longer over a minute then go out. It flickered on and off very fast a few times. After about 10 mins it started to move very slow behind the trees and we could still see it behind the trees but then eventually disappeared as the light went out and never come back on. Through this whole sighting there was never any other blinking lights on or around this bright red light to indicate it was an airplane, drone, helicopter or blimp. There was no sound coming from this object.

At 04:12 I went outside for a smoke on the deck. Facing south I looked up and saw what I thought was a satellite traveling from West to East. Then I saw another behind it then another behind it for at least 10 or more. All evenly spaced traveling at satellite speed. All same size. Thought It odd. Silent too, not a sound. Took note of the time. Just thought I'd mention it to someone in case someone else saw this. Took pics, but my cam sucks.

To be honest, I don't believe it was an "Alien" type of UFO, just a UFO in the broadest sense. It is quite bright (2x brightness of Jupiter). The speed was very slow. Not a satellite, or plane/helicopter. Path was South to North, passing roughly 3 degrees over Moon. Possible unknown small comet, or asteroid? No visible "Tail" Lost sight after passing trees and buildings.

Quitman, GA
My husband and I were watching the stars last night on August 15th at around 11:35 pm EST when my husband noticed one of the stars moving. It obviously wasn't a star and it was far up in the sky maybe a few more miles above the atmosphere, it was heading north then disappeared. Another one towards the West started moving and again disappeared. At first I said it was a satellite but my husband said that they would not be going at such a pace as we were seeing them go by. So I checked the satellite radar and it said there was only one in Adel ga but we live in quitman ga. But it didnt stop there we saw three more lights flying across the sky all heading in different directions. They werent comets or asteroids because if that were to be the case they would leave a faint quick trail when burning up in the atmosphere. But the lights were just passing by no flickers or trail just moving before quickly vanishing. Also mentioning the fact that the lights were moving! as if being directed towards certain directions and while this happened flashes of light occurred with no signs of clouds anywhere it was clear but the flashes came from the sky itself which we found strange.

Richfield, OH
While stargazing in a place without much light pollution, I focused on a star directly centered in the cross section of a cross-shaped constellation, approximately halfway up the sky and almost directly southward but slightly to the east. This star had stayed directly where the two lines of this "cross" constellation crossed for at least 20 minutes, not moving. It suddenly moved downward and to the left of the cross section point where it was previously, then slowly hovered above and below the horizontal cross line before settling just above the line and slightly to the left of the vertical cross line. It then did not move for at least a half hour, at which point we left. I know that its movement wasn't just my eyes playing tricks because I used the horizontal and vertical cross lines as a frame of reference. My friend was looking at a different star close by and said they saw it move at the same moments I saw my star moving, but at the time I thought they were referring to my star. Afterwards my friend said they think the movement they saw was just their eyes playing tricks, which along with the confusion about us looking at different stars has made me doubt my own sighting. However, I know that I saw it move especially because I kept comparing its position with the stable "cross" constellation.

As it moved, the light faded and shortly disappeared entirely. Seen from Grove Street, facing west.

I was lying down on my bed and gazing the night sky through the window. The sky was clear and there were many stars visible which appears stationary. It was early morning time around 5am when I noticed one star moving slowly and then increasing its speed. I notice that there was at least 7 such stars following it and all these stars were at the same distance from each other and moving at the same speed. To make sure I was not dreaming, I woke my wife up and she also witnessed these stars moving. They were moving in the direction of the moon. Next to the moon we also noticed a bright star. The view from the bedroom was limited so we decided to go to our backyard and view it more clearly. By the time we were out and looked up the sky, we could not see them anymore. We were able to witness these UFO for at least 2-3 mins and they looked spectacular. We could still see stars in the sky but all appeared stationary. This was truly remarkable and wonder if anybody else noticed this.

Date: 08/15/2020 03:35AM, Montesano, Washington Region Seven star-like objects transited the sky from west to east. The objects were brighter than the brightest star yet not as bright as the planet Venus in the night sky. The light emanating from the craft was whitish and did not flicker. Altitude uncertain but appeared to be greater than 1 mile high. The objects maintained a single file line but would change distance apart so not always equidistant one from the other. Speed was faster than passenger jet 1.5x to 2x. Lights went off sequentially as each light neared a certain point in the sky above Mt. Rainier. Sky was clear and light pollution minimal at time of sighting. Duration of sighting was approximately 1-2 minutes.

Saw a pinpoint of light travel horizontal across sky in my viewing direction of the Moon and Venus in the night sky. It appeared, traveled in a straight line horizontal direction,very fast,then disappeared. My estimate is 3 seconds viewtime. It could not have been an airplane, because it was a pinpoint of light very far away, and airplanes dont travel that fast. The light was constant and not flashing. It could not have been a shooting star because it did not change its density of light. It traveled horizontal, straight, even line, and shooting stars travel in a "falling, shooting" motion.

So during a trip this weekend doing some Astrophotography out at a dark location. I was imaging M31 Andromeda Galaxy and while trying to find M31 with my naked eye I noticed a blinking light up in the sky. Thinking it was an airplane it would move. It never moved. Thought must be a satellite still never moved. Looked through binoculars and saw the blinking lights. Then we went to the AP 130 and could see 2 x 2 lights blinking in succession followed by an arc of very small lights flashing after the 2x2 lights flashed. This was all flashing in a split second. My buddy slewed his Takahashi 106 over to it and took a photo of it. I took a photo of the computer screen of one of the pictures captured which I will include. The red is just for night viewing. After a few hours, we could tell it was moving slowly across the sky in what seemed to be a random way. Started in the N NE in Lacerta region of the sky high above Andromeda (which was my target I was shooting). After a while it moved across meridian and then proceeded to move South over my head and finally behind me. Finally after 04:00 we went to bed still seeing it blinking further South.

To the west, a singular light could be seen hovering high in the sky. Shape appeared to change colors and slowly drift, but kept similar location in the sky. Upon extended observation, smaller dimmer lights seemed to "drop" from object...almost like floating stars that would drift down and dim. Viewer continued to observe object until it dissapeared behind cloud cover.

A man that physically Told me over a recorded video that he is "The Lord", while i was in Macomb county jail, on a recorded video, later cane to see me where we spoke on things I can't remember, he asked me a series of questions, when I would lie I heard a loud horn only I could hear, when he came to speak with me in person he then showed me he was telling the truth turning from human into half sunshine. He was so bright I had to look down, he was on of the doctors there. A blonde. He knew everything and told me to tell people. He made me visualize everything around me as a different setting, he.. made things happen in front of my eyes I won't say to keep him safe. He was so kind, he reminded me of love

One craft appeared next to a star, the next craft appeared to the right of the star. The were to the left of the Big Dipper. The craft of the left went in a circular pattern, while the one to the right headed Southeast. The craft to the left completely disappeared after circling the star.

At 4:30 I let my dog outside and looked up at the moon and stars. I noticed one moving and though satellite then saw another on the same trajectory and thought, that's strange. Then another and another and another until 12 or 15 of them went overhead all on the same course northwest to southeast.

`On August 4th 2020, at 3:30 AM I was again looking North when I saw a red and white light travelling from the East to the West around thirty degrees above the horizon. This incident is comparable to my incident on June 17th, 2020, the opposite effect happened as it disappeared from view behind a curtain at a point due North. As above, all stars and other features were visible on both sides of the line but the object was only visible on the Eastern side of this line or curtain. This was one day after a full moon but the object was quite easily observed. The speed of this object appeared to be gliding across the sky. I have no way to determine the distance away from my point of view to the object.

Anacortes, WA
A perfect line of lights, 2 at a time with a small gap between each pair, moving west to east toward the crescent moon. About as fast as distant airplanes. Totally quiet, as bright as the stars nearby. About 20-30 degrees above the horizon. I have a photo! Seen from Eagle Cove, Cypress Island. Lost behind a hill.

8/13/20 - Husband and I were out in back yard watching meteor shower, when I noticed at about 11:20pm a somewhat bright star just sitting stationary in one spot. It looked like the other stars, a bright light, with a slight aura. Then it suddenly began to move down towards the horizon, moving faster and more easily than a plane or jet, not on an entirely straight path, wavering a bit as it did so. It did not leave any trails or make any sound. It then stopped, and began making little forays to the sides and up, then moved horizontally a ways north along the horizon, and stopped again. It then moved back south again a little way along the horizon, stopped, and started making little forays up, down, and to the sides, and that is when I came in to report it, at 11:35pm.

I bright white light came from the southeast 1/3 of the way across the sky. I thought it was a satellite, but my boyfriend said it was going way too fast and too high in the sky to be a satellite. As we watched the light stopped and reversed a short distance. Then it made what appeared to be an obtuse triangular path. Then shot off to the south and disappeared.

Tillamook, OR
Yellowish/white, similar to color of a bright star, planet or satelite. However, it moved erratically but side to side or up and down almost like on a Joy ride. This lasted for at least 60 minutes. After which then the light started to dim then get bright then dim and get bright periodically until we finally just went to bed. My two 13 year olds confirmed they saw what I was seeing, that I wasn't crazy. This is my first siting of SOMETHING, but what it was is unknown.
