walk out side to look at moon. Near it,, satellites were passing by. One dot of light started to move after a brief flash, and intercepted one of the satellites traveling west before continuing east. 30 or so more potential satellites proceeded to pass over my portion of sky coming from the west traveling east, and a few south to north. With how many traveling in the same path, it resembled a convoy or patrol.

- My dad got to see one of my star friends at around 10:05pm, Tuesday, 4/7/2020. Around 9:30pm I went outside on my deck and laid on my reclining chair with a wool blanket. I always say quietly, "Come on alien friends, star friends show me something up there please." Nothing happened. Then I shined my 5mW [5 mega-watt] green laser at one point in the sky for about 5 seconds and then turned it off like fishing. Then I waited. That seems to draw them in. About 3 to 5 minutes after that I started seeing my alien/star friends. They look like stars moving across the sky. A light turns on, moves across the sky a little bit, and then slowly turns off the light. In the same spot, about 5 times, a light turned on, moved across the sky, then turned off, then another what appeared as a new light turned on, faded across the sky in the same path and turned off; 5 times that happened. So I went inside and called my dad on the phone to come see this. ! He got out on his deck next to my deck in about 5 minutes. Then I said "Show yourself again, my dad is out here." About 2 minutes later a very bright star like object moved from south to north above our houses, I pointed next to it using my green laser so my dad could see; He was in pain because his back has been hurting him, but he said he saw it. It faded out completely. It was very bright at first and completely faded out while moving from south to north. This was my first 2020 ufo/alien experience. - 4-18-2020 around 9:30pm neighbors Mike and Janet and I all saw a light moving across the sky from south-west to north-east similar to a satellite but then after it goes by another one would come. This happened 5 times or more on 4/7/2020 and another 5 times or so when standing in my driveway looking at the stars with my neighbors. Then I laid in my reclining chair on my deck and it happened another 10 times or so and saw 2 of the headed in the same direction but they were pretty far apart from one another. I said “Come down here alien friends” and saw a light turn ON to the East and then OFF. I said THANK YOU. Then about 10 minutes later a light about 250 feet above the pond in my back yard from East to West fell like a falling star effect. My neighbors were outside because they said someone told them to go outside and look at the lights in the sky [ufo’s]. - Around 10:15pm 4/26/2020 laying back on my reclining chair on my deck I saw the fastest light going across the sky that I ever have seen so far. It was moving from West to East looking over my roof while laying on my reclining chair. I said THANK YOU and then the light slowly faded out before the object went out of view. Usually objects/lights will continue moving until out of view. They purposely turn their lights off BEFORE going out of view with me. And then… about 15 minutes after that I saw a huge flash of light in the sky north-east [Imagine those fireworks that create a FLASH of light with a big BOOM!!! I saw that but without the big boom sound]. They’ve done that before for me last summer. - About 3:40am 4/27/2020 I had one of my favorite alien/ufo experiences. I was laying back in my reclining deck chair looking at the stars waiting to see if my alien/star friends show me anything. And then where I was looking, in front and up I saw a light moving from south-west to north-east really dim but I could see it. I said THANK YOU. And then BAM… a bright light flashed to my left, much closer to the ground. I looked in that direction hoping to see another flash… nothing, and then BAM another flash of light I saw clearly… and then the light faded in slowly, out slowly as it was moving from west to east… and them BAM!!! a super bright light with sharp edges [the light seemed to have detail, like lines coming out in all directions], and then it went back to fading in and out as it moved East until it went out of view. Meanwhile, that first light I saw kept appearing in the same place and then moving from south-west to north-east, and when it went out of view it wo! uld repeat again starting in the same place like it circled around and followed the same path. It did that 7 or so times. This was one of my favorite experiences tonight. So cool, amazing, awesome!!! - 5/9/2020 around 3:30am I saw a small flash of light to the East, the a little North-East, and again. I said “Come down here.” Then to my right [south] about 20 feet from me, about 30 feet from the ground, flying mostly horizontal with a little downward angle was a light that looked like a red hot piece of coal with a trail behind it [It looked like a mixture of black, orange, yellow like how red hot embers/ashes look].

Sedona, AZ
On the evening of Friday, May 8, 2020 in Sedona, Arizona, U.S.A. at about 2045 I was alerted by my wife that a brilliant light was up in the sky. I joined her on the deck of our home and spotted a brilliant white light in the sky to the ENE approximately 20-30 degrees above the horizon. The light was brilliant, steady, and emitted no sound. It remained motionless for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. I was observing this light through binoculars and called my neighbor on the phone (who lives about a quarter mile away). He, his wife, my wife, and I all watched this object until it blinked out shortly after 2100. My neighbor's wife called a friend who lives across town near the Poco Diablo Resort and she also observed the light except that it appeared to be in the sky to her WNW near the Sedona Airport mesa. This seems to suggest that the object was airborne to the north of the Sedona Airport mesa. My neighbor and I are both pilots. I am a private pilot and aircraft owner. My neighbor is a CFII and owner of multiple aircraft. Venus, the planet, was clearly visible in the west, opposite from the direction in which we were observing. The light was significantly brighter and larger than the planet Venus.

A friend of mine sent this video to me on 05/08/2020, taken either that day or the day before midday. I uploaded it to youtube but left it unlisted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIukJ-4R1co&feature=youtu.be As you can see, my friend recorded a flickering light that moved slowly across the sky for around a minute.

We witnessed a light similar to a satellite but moving at MUCH higher rate of speed it traveled across the sky from Sunset towards the opposing horizon before it disappeared it spread into two lights and then condensed back into one and then faded into nothing BEFORE leaving our line of sight

I was looking outside of my window as I had woken up around that time. I noticed a bright object in the sky that had taken off into the night after a few seconds.

Tonight May 6th at approx 10pm. My wife and I were sitting outside in the backyard facing west. Venus was bright and low on the horizon. We witnessed what at first we thought was a satilite moving from about 2 o’clock from Venus to 11 o’clock then it seemed to fade away. It didn’t have any flashing or blinking lights. It looked like a dim star moving a at a constant speed. We saw 10 to 12 more lights appear and fade away along the same path in the sky one right after the other in a straight line. At one point I saw four lights and as the top most light faded away a new one would appear. So I would put these lights starting north of Venus and higher in the sky then moving diagonally upward and to the south, then fading close to the top stars of the Gemini constellation. I know they weren’t planes, again way to high up and no strobes. I thought it was a satillite but then there were so many one right after the other. Anyway this is what I saw.

I was sitting outside with my wife after dinner as we almost always do and out of the northwest we saw tiny lights that looked like stars moving pretty quickly in the southeast direction. We saw them move in the southeast direction but then they would go straight up after a few seconds of moving and disappear. One by one they did the same trajectory with maybe 5 or 6 seconds in between each one. After about the 10th object I called out my children and mother in law and they saw the final 5. In total we counted 16 lights. The lights were white and really faint like stars . I'm always looking up to the sky and believe we are not alone. My wife and I shot some video on our phones but you can hardly see them. My children are minors and my mother in law is of retirement age. This isn't the first time we see them moving across the sky but it is the first time we saw so many going in the same trajectory. They were too high and fast to be drones.

It was seen twice throughout the day, once at dusk and once after dark around 9 pm. The dusk sighting looked like a bright light that moved across the sky, while the other appeared to be a longer diagonal shape of light moving.

My 3 roommates and I were on our back deck having conversation when this occurred. 2 male 2 female. I work as an IT professional, my roommates work in sales and social media management. Respectable jobs, no criminal background, healthy skeptics. We have never seen anything like this where we live. During the pass of about 30 sterling satellites (which were moving west to east) 3 separate bright orange lights appeared about 5 minutes apart. They moved very fast going north to south and east to west respectively. They each appeared for approximately 3-4 seconds at a distance of about 60 degrees. They appeared quickly fading into bright orange lights and fading out into the sky with no trace, or trail. No nature sounds at all, the owls, crickets, and cicadas even stopped.

My husband and I were sitting outside skywatching and at about 9:18pm, low in the sky, we spotted a light moving from north west to the south east. A couple of seconds later we saw another one, on a very close path of the first one. And a few more seconds went by and we saw another one, and another one, and another one. In all, there were 13 of them following, not the exact path, but a similar flight path… as if they were actually following each other. None of them blinked. They looked a lot like white stars, but moving. The entire sighting lasted about a minute as we watched them go out of sight. I’ve been sky watching for years, and I’ve never seen satellites do that. I’ve seen a couple fly by, sometimes in the same direction, or in different directions at the same time, but 13 of them in a row, all heading in the same direction? If those were satellites, I’ve never seen anything like that before. It seemed extraordinary.

I was sitting on my back patio and noticed a bright light in the south/east sky travelling horizontally from south to north. from the distance, It looked to be about the size of a nickel. We are about 6 miles from March AB and I've watched fighter jets fly over often. I would estimate This light to be travelling at least twice the speed. It took about 10 seconds to go from the southern horizon to straight in front of me and, without stopping or slowing down, it made a 90 degree change in course, accelerated instantaneously, and was out of sight within one second.

I was walking my dog in the morning before heading to work. We crossed a busy street and I looked back behind me and noticed how big the moon looked. In my peripheral I noticed movement, changing focus I realize it's not just anything but a string of lights moving in unison. After many lights go by a formation of 4 lights in a diamond shape go by. Many more lights go by and what looks like the end, a light from below comes in fast and joins but cutting in fourth from the rear. The four back off creating what looks like equal distances. Then two more join at the back, not at the same time. These come from above and actually don't illuminate until nearly coming into the back of the line. I tried to record with my cellphone but was unable to capture anything except audio of myself in disbelief. I actually flagged down a car who happened to be driving by but as soon as I mentioned UFOs they quickly accelerated away.

Wellington (Canada), ON · Canada
Noticed what appeared to be a shooting star. Lift remained in place then shot across the sky diagonally then a second light shot across sky to where 1st light just was, first light then zipped diagonally again very very fast, second light again took the same place as first and a third light shot across sky to where the first one was noticed. This zig zag pattern followed with each light taking up the spot the last one left. Then all 3 lights, in the blink of an eye zoomed to the north east. Started over lake Ontario. These things moved incredibly fast, way to fast to be a airplanes. Like 3 shooting stars. So very odd, twinkled white amber to almost red. No sound.

I was on top of a hill with a clear view of the night sky - there wasn't much light polution so I took the moment to gaze up. An empty spot between a few spaced stars suddenly filled with light and slowly moved east toward Lassen. I followed it assuming it was a sattilite, but then another one appeared from the same empty space following the exact course and speed as the first light. Then another, and another untill I counted ten in all. Each moved across the sky perfectly spaced never excellerating or slowing. They remained on a straight course until no longer visible. Not sure how significant what I seen is, but it was weird enough to push me to write this.

5 lights equally spaced trailing each other. Appearance looked like satellite crossing the sky.

Richmond, CA
While looking at the stars in the direction to the west. I noticed an object to small to be an aircraft without running lights. I pointed to the object and my girlfriend and we watched it move across the sky. It then stopped immediately and went in the opposite direction, stopped again and went back to the original direction. At that moment another object appeared from the same location as the original and it began what looked like a chase with the first object. Then another appeared following the first two, then another. They all moved from West to North/West. We scanned the sky’s with our eyes to find them but they moved out of sight. Every few minutes we would find another really faint light moving across the sky at incredible speed for how far away it appeared to be. I would say they were all out of the outer atmosphere. We stayed out on the roof for another 20 minutes only to see one at least ever few minutes. Most moving in different directions. Eventu! ally we went inside , not because of the lack of sightings but because of the length of the sighting. The best part is that we have one very clearly breaking the laws of physics all on camera.

My husband and I were outside, I looked up and pointed out some satellite looking objects moving in one direction. We then noticed that there was way more than just one, we observed approximately 20-30 of these lights traveling in a perfectly spaced distance from each other and going northeast. This lasted for 3-4 minutes. It ended by the last light traveling across and disappearing like the rest.

Me and my wife were walking our dogs, an she said wow look at that satellite. I looked up an saw a light traveling across the sky, an then another, 10 seconds behind the first. And a stream of them like that. One after another. We just stopped in the middle of the r oad an watched. They we’re moving very fast. They would just appear an then shoot across the sky. And another would follow it. About 10 of them for two minutes.

Collinsville, IL
While on a walk with a friend of mine I was looking up at the stars and noticed one move slightly downwards and then return to its position. I stopped dead in my tracks and had my friend verify what I was seeing. Upon further inspection, we swa multiple lights in that region change from red, blue, and green for a brief moment. There was also a moment where what appeared to be a purplish distortion that resembled a nebula around one of the lights. They seemed to shoot around at incredible speed but always returned to their original position. Obviously startled we looked online to see if anyone was seeing what we saw and all I could find were reports of Starlink sattelites but I am slow to accept this as an answer because of the randomness of the movements observed. I plan on trying to find a telescope to observe better.

I was walking my dog and I always look up at the stars. I saw what I thought was a star moving fro West to East in the Northern Sky. I thought maybe I was seeing a satellite. When the first light was nearly out of sight to the East, I noticed another light coming from the West on the same exact trajectory, maybe a mile behind the first. This happened a total of 7 lights, each about the same distance apart, and looked like at the same height. No blinking of lights, a solid light, no pulsating, no change of color, no noise. Initially I thought an airplane, but no noise, maybe a star, but no twinkle, and moving west to East, another comes, another, another, seven times. There may have been more as I may not have seen the first light. Don’t know what I saw? I tried taking video with my phone but it looks like a blank sky.

I am an avid star gazer and I know the ISS travels and have seen satilte trajectory but never like this with no noise.

Came from the west heading east, and then disappeared upward. Multiple crafts coming from the same location, going in the same direction. Thought maybe it was a satellite until I saw a 2nd, and then a 3rd, and so on. Wish I kept track. After the last one appeared, a jet flashing red and blue lights followed the same path behind them. Very high altitude..

Westland, MI
At 22:02 I stepped outside to my back patio for some fresh air. At 22:03 I noticed what appeared to be the ISS moving from the west to a east northeast path. A few seconds later, I noticed another light from the same direction following the first light. So now I know it is not the ISS. I make a phone call to a friend at 10:04pm, no answer. I yell inside the house for my family to come and witness what I am seeing. More keep coming, in a single line path. My two sons come out on to the patio and they help me spot each one as they fly from the west. At 22:13 I called another friend, he lives 3 miles south of me. He did see the last 4 objects. We counted 25 of these lights. They looked like the ISS flying over, orange light, similar speed as the ISS, and no sound. I'm just not sure if these objects were inside the atmosphere or not. It looked like they were entering the atmosphere from the west and leaving it in the east northeast sky. For the record, the ISS, or no other satellites, were scheduled to fly over at this time. I tried recoding a video. The objects would not show up on my phone. There was a very bright white 3/4 moon just a few degrees south of the line if direction these objects were moving.
