South Lake Tahoe, CA
For over an hour in the tahoe sky way high up a light jumped around in the sky, so I videoed it and took pictures.

I saw a solid non-flashing light traveling slowly to the southeast before I lost sight of it after about 15 seconds or so and

Kettering, OH
Friend and I were coming home from a park where we were taking moon pics. Sky was not dark but mostly twilight. Moon was bright but no Stars visible yet. We kept looking at the moon as we walked and after a minute we saw what looked like a meteor next to the moon. It streaked down for a few seconds just like a meteor but then stopped. The object was still visible as a point of light getting dimmer and brighter as it appeared to hover although I couldn’t say how high it was. I just figured it was very high. Object then slowly meandered about for about ten seconds on a generally north course. Object then came stationary for a second then completely winked out.

Lincoln, NE
There was a circular bright white light flying in the sky. It was steadily moving, and it wasn't an airplane. It went on for about two minutes and just disappeared suddenly.

Scottsdale, AZ
Saw multiple lights in the sky moving across the horizon. There was an initial group that is shown in the video. Several straggling lights were observed after the initial group moving erratically. All lights were at an elevation above the clouds. They can be observed moving behind the clouds. They were visible moving from the western horizon to the eastern horizon. It appeared that there were conventional aircraft following the objects.

Ponoka (Canada), AB · Canada
Some nights it will meet up with a smaller light. As many as three have been seen. I thought I was crazy so started pointing it out to people riding with me and now they all have witnessed it. It will follow me from west of Ponoka to Alex, to Red Deer and wait while I’m visiting my friends, it has even followed me to Saskatchewan. It sits outside my work and follows me home. We thought drone but there is no noise, it travels as fast or as slow as I am going. What is this. It’s creepy!

I live on the edge of town near Vail. Very empty area and a big wash (the pantano wash) is close by.

Morris, IL
I was sitting on my couch and i looked right out the window and saw this very very bright beaming light in the sky and it was just glowing really bright and then it started to fade, all in the same spot. And then the glowing bright light turned into red, green, and orange/yellow blinking lights and the craft moved toward Chicago. I would have thought it was just a plane if i had not seen it glowing like it was before.

Flemington, NJ
It was a clear night. My son and I saw a red light that was not moving very fast and seemed to stop and hover, then go back in the other direction and stop and hover again. I thought it was very strange and maybe a helicopter because I had no other explanation. The red light did not blink like an aircraft nor did it move like any aircraft I had ever seen. It continued to hover in 1 spot and we decided to go in our home dismissing it as an aircraft we had never seen.

Fargo, ND
Early in the morning of June 1st, 2020 I was laying in bed when I looked out my window and through a break in the trees I saw a red light that one would see on top of a radio tower. It had to be over I-29 or even I-94, but it was up about the cruising altitude of a commercial jet that people would take to travel. Anyway, I was laying there and I saw this beacon light almost, but knowing the area there's no tower that I can see from my bedroom window. It was a bright red light and it hovered in the sky for approximately 30 seconds and then gradually increased speed from a dead stop within one to two seconds, shooting off to the south west. I'd never seen anything like this in my life and it scared me.

Coral Springs, FL
The object was difficult to depict because of the light emanating from the figure. However, it looked like a shooting star but it was overcast and no other stars could be seen. it flashed from left to right for a split second before disappearing but it could not have gone unnoticed by someone already staring into the sky. I have no explanation for it other than an unidentified flying object.

Norton, MA
Single light like a star moving in a straight slightly zig-zagging line across the sky. No other lights and way to fast for a plane. Seemed to flare a little and change color before fading out. There were three almost one after another traveling north to south and a few minutes later a forth traveling in the opposite direction

These could have been something like an ICBM, but I struggle with the thought of being able to see the orange glow of an ICBMs rocket booster at such a range. I’ve seen some weird things as a skywatcher, but nothing as inexplicable as this.

Edgewater, FL
Saw possibly 50 lights traveling N to S as far N as I could see, then disappearing right overhead. They all were in a straight line, though random spacing, traveling about plane airspeed. I was fishing, and I had my fishing companion look, and he acknowledged the same.

Santa Cruz, CA
This night, I was scanning the sky and ocean over aptos and Santa Cruz with my infrared binoculars. Suddenly a crazy bright light on the horizon startled me. Through my binoculars, it was as big and bright as the setting sun! But this was night time , the sun had set over an hour ago. I watched this bright orange round light that sat on the horizon over the santa cruz side of Monterey Bay for 20 ish minutes. It was still most of that time. Finally it began slowly pulsing in brightness, getting so bright that at one point, it turned my binoculars from regular mode to infrared mode by itself. Then it began to move slowly north. Horizontally, along the horizon. It moved slowly away until it was behind the peninsula that is Capitola, yet I could still watch its progress because bright orange rays of light shining up from behind the land gave away its position as it went. Eventually I couldn't see it anymore. I've been trying to find anyone else who witnessed this. Nothing y! et ... but it was SO bright other people had to have seen it too. I found an article online from Australia a couple years ago that shows the exact same event. That article said that authorities suggested it was just extra fuel burning off at their oil refinery. Obvious bullshit story... we have nothing like that here, either. I took pictures, video, on both cell phone and the binoculars.

Betterton, MD
On 05/27 around 11pm, I was sitting at my friend's family shore house, having a fire on the beach. My friend stepped inside for a minute so I was star gazing, having already seen a pretty bright shooting star earlier. I spotted what I thought was a shooting star quickly dash a short distance of sky before the light went out. Half a second later the light came back on, I then thought it was a government aircraft moving at a very high rate of speed. The object then took a 45 degree turn on a dime. Again, I thought it was an advanced military craft. After watching for about 5 seconds, the object began blinking erratically and traveling in a nonsensical pattern with incredible ease. I was stunned at the ability to maintain speed while crossing over its own flight path and moving in a scribble like fashion. I started yelling for my friend without taking an eye off it, I pointed to the sky trying to bring it to his attention but it dissapeared not a second after he said he wasn't seeing it. About an hour later, a bit after I gave up making sense of what I saw and let my guard down, I looked up to see, what I assume to be the same object above. I spotted it maybe a few hundred feet to our right above us, coming in our direction . I slapped my friends arm and pointed up but as soon as it was crossing directly over us, it dissapeared again. We were in Betterton, Maryland, not a quarter mile from the town beach, overlooking Aberdeen and Havre de Grace. An army facility is in Aberdeen but to my knowledge they don't do anything involving aircraft there, nor do I believe anyone on earth has those capabilities. I'm unsure how high the object was but it was probably around the upper range of normal flying altitudes.

Kirkland, WA
Saw a bright white light heading in a straight line from west to east and very slightly wavering left to right before fading in the distance. Not sure if it traveled away quickly or light just dimmed. No sound. Saw what appeared to be a satellite or high flying jet pass by soon after, I believe due south.

It's look like a star but it keep flashing for like 15min plus. When I focus on it the colour change to green, then it disappear. I checked all the flight radar no such aircraft fly above the sky at that night.

Daly City, CA
Looking west, approximately 60 degrees above horizon, one bright light that varied in brightness. Size wise, imagine holding a BB at arm’s length. Moved slowly left to right, stopped, three other dimmer lights appeared, vanished, reappeared over several minutes. Stepped indoors for 30 minutes, when I stepped outside lights not visible.

Manito, IL
What appeared to be a star was noted by one observer, stating that it looked to be blinking. As we turned our attention to the "star" it began to cover a distance across the horizon as it blinked (it never moved while lit up, it would disappear and show up further away). The light then blinked in a downward zig-zag pattern, then straight down toward the treeline, where it faded from sight.

Kingston (Canada), ON · Canada
My wife and I were outside before bed last night and we looked over towards the airport, and we seen a bright circular light we thought might have been a plane taking off, but as we observed it, it appeared to be going straight up and had no tail lights, then all of a sudden it started getting a little brighter and started moving horizontal across the sky, as we were watching it for a brief moment a second light appeared extremely bright and disappeared into the sky, we continued to watch the UFO as it moved across the sky, it then started getting much brighter , and seemed to be lower when all of a sudden it started getting smaller and more dim and disappeared into the night sky somewhere in our galaxy, and I do have to say my wife and I have always been skeptics , until last night.

Slow moving object with flashing red/white lights (not red and green like planes, I know bc we live near the airport and see planes all of the time and this was different). The sound was a very deep almost like white noise/humming sound that also did not sound like a plane or helicopter and was most startling. I'm basing my judgment on the fact that we live near airports and also Central DuPage Hospital and see airplanes and helicopters very frequently. The object was at first seemingly still in the East and then moved right (South) and left (North). I'm sharing this bc my gut instinct was that this is different and didn't seem normal.
