The light was traveling in the distance between a group of trees that was in my line of sight in my back yard. As I watched the light pass behind the last tree it looked to be heading away from me, turning North . Once the first light i saw passed and was moving away a second light appeared in the same location as the first and moving in the same direction. This continued for around 10 minutes, it seemed. I watched about 4 go by before I went inside and grabbed my phone to try and record it. During my recording (which didn't come out very well) I watched around 8-10 more pass by. At least a dozen if not more in total. No blinking lights just a bright white light and was brighter than any star or planet.

I went outside to get some air. I was looking up at the sky, checking out the moon (I was facing south and then I looked up and to the left) Saw a plane flying from South to North, blinking white light and red light. (I was in the USAF for 8 years, and am very familiar with aircraft lights, landing lights, aircraft size, etc.) Started looking at the direction of Venus and then I saw one bright small light, to the left of Venus, moving from South to North. It caught my eye because it was not blinking, just steady light. I followed it from South over Venus, and then to the North. Then it disappeared to the North. I turned and looked to the left at the moon, and that back in the direction of Venus (as I looked at the moon, Venus was to my direct right). I saw another (second) steady small light travelling north. Steady light, no blinking lights. Then about a half mile behind it, since it was way off in the distance and looked way above the clouds 4 to 5K feet or more, another (third)steady white small star light like moving from South to North. This time the first light made a round turn from North to East and then South East. The Second light continued straight and went out of sight. I followed the first light as it headed Southeast and disappeared above the clouds. All three lights were constantly steady; no blinking lights near or on it, just steady white light. Seemed very strange to me. Not a satellite since the second one clearly changed direction. Speed was constant on all separate 3 lights. All 3 lights were at least a mile or so apart. Although the first light was vastly separate (in distance and time, about 5 minutes time went by from the first one until I saw the second two.

At approximately 21:30 I was looking at the moon which was in the southern hemisphere approximately 60° above the southern horizon. The sky was clear. I noticed what appeared to be a satellite / point-light emerge from the NNW travelling in a SSE direction. It appeared to be travelling somewhat faster than a typical satellite. I followed its course for about one minute until it faded from view essentially due south from me, approximately 30° above the southern horizon. Approximately one minute later, a second satellite / point-light emerged from the same NNW direction with a trajectory and velocity identical to the first light. Approximately one minute after that, a third satellite / point-light emerged from the same NNW direction again identical to the first two. There was no sound. I looked at the third light through handheld binoculars but could not distinguish any features or details. The fact that all three lights faded from view in the southern hemisphere well above the horizon (perhaps 30° above the horizon) suggested they were at a very high altitude. Approximately 30 seconds after the third light faded from view, a similar light emerged from the SSE and appeared to travel due north, where it faded from view.

Provo, UT
We were oUt for a walk and noticed several bright lights in the upper atmosphere traveling from the SouthWest to the NorthEast at very high speed. Lights brightness stayed constant indicating self illuminating as sunlight hitting a surface would cause it ot dim once your vantage point changed as they passed overhead, they made NO noise or course changes. Lights traveled in the same direction on the same course separated by 5-10 miles best guess. A search of Flight tracker at the time showed NO aircraft in the area on that course or altitude.

Thiensville, WI
Took the dog out to the backyard one last time before bed. Looked up and thought I saw a very fast moving jet above me, below the moon. Then another one followed right behind it, then another. I realized there were no sounds, then another. I ran in to get my fiance and she saw the first string of lights and even more coming. All heading south to north towards Port Washington. I took a video of the last few and realized all were equadistant apart, all in a line. I opened my satellite/star app and no satellites were listed at the time. I counted 20+ when I came out to the last.

My mom called me out onto our patio and was like "hey is that one of the satellites going across the sky?" I replied "yes you finally got to see it!" Within a moment later while I was still looking up at the sky I noticed another small small dot of light. Going in the exact same direction and a good distance from the first object. I was like wait a second, I've never seen two back to back. All of a sudden my mom was like "theres another one!" Sure enough we kept counting and counting. Ending with 7 objects. The exact same distance apart. Going in the same direction. It was amazing to witness! They were the smallest balls of light, not really noticable to those that weren't stargazing.

Eagle Grove, IA
At approximately 22:50 on May 2, 2020, a small whiteish blue object similar in appearance to a shooting star appeared high in the South sky (seemingly from nowhere). After appearing, the object immediately accelerated to the North with remarkable speed, and changed course to the Northeast. Once the object changed it’s direction of travel, it continued Northeast for less than one second, then disappeared. Upon seeing this object, I assumed it was indeed a shooting star. However, the slight side to side swaying motion of the object as it flew north was like nothing I have ever witnessed before. The object traversed the entire night sky above me in 5 seconds or less, emitted no sound, and maneuvered much quicker than any aircraft I’ve seen.

Perfectly spaced string of lights all moving same pace to one brighter light from west to east and then dropping straight down to the bigger light large flash then one by one would continue to do same thing lower to light flash and disappear we counted 17. My husband got freaked and went inside ! It looked like a fleet all following the same coordinates and ending over the Water! I HAVE VIDEO

I was looking straight up in the sky about 9 pm when I saw a very distant faint light similar to a faint star moving NW. As I was watching, I noticed another appear on the same path but very far apart (with both arms extended up pointing with index fingers about 18 inches apart). All total, I counted 15 aircraft flying in single file with no audible noise that I could detect. I tried to take video with cell phone but nothing appears.

My husband and I smoke outside on our balcony. Recently we have been observing what looks like flying stars in the sky above our home. We usually witness several of these every few nights while smoking. This morning we got up together and went to have a cigarette and we counted over 21 of these flying stars. They move faster than regular air craft, change speeds and change trajectory independent from one another. There are no noises coming from these craft. According to

Saluda, NC
At 11:45 pm a flashing object was noticed north from Saluda, NC. The object was flashing green, blue, red, orange and white in a seemingly random pattern. The object would erratically move from East to West, performing sudden sweeping and circular movements. The object continued to perform these types of maneuvers for roughly two hours, moving north toward the Pisgah Forest. Upon the time of sighting,no known satellites were visible nor was the ISS.

As it went over head, we listened for airplane sound and never heard any, even after it had completely disappeared to our NW. As it went over, it was clear that it was higher in the sky than we first thought – maybe 10,000’ or more. We get Seattle air traffic here regularly, and they are at 30,000’ as they go over and we can easily hear them. After it passed, it grew dimmer, much faster than when it was coming at us. It was very bright the whole time it was coming at us, but as it passed, it was darker like it was the back of whatever was causing the light. We speculated that it might have been a satellite burning up, but I don’t think they travel SE-NW. We also thought it might be a meteor burning (which would explain the glow around it) but it never appeared to have a tail or burning debris falling off. Amazingly, it appeared to be traveling in a very straight line. It disappeared over the mountains to our NW, somewhat south of Wenatchee. The whole duration of the event was probably only about a minute. Our time of the event will be pretty accurate, because I immediately went into the house and called my brother. The phone recorded my call time. I am a retired Army officer and a retired school counselor, and my friend is still working with irrigation water equipment. To us, it was a UFO – unidentified flying object – because we couldn’t identify it. We are sure it wasn’t a plane – jet or prop – or a local drone, because we never heard a sound out of it. Our best guess is a meteor, but it certainly wasn’t like any other we had seen.

Henderson, NV
I was looking at the sky towards the east and I saw a white light traveling north east. Initially I thought it was a satellite until I noticed there was another one following behind. A couple of minutes later, and saw two more in the same formation heading in the same direction. I went in the house and told my husband, he came to look but they were too far away at that point. I went back to my phone call but keep watching the sky. A few minutes later there were three lights traveling together in the same direction, I yelled through the door to my husband and sat back down. One of the lights broke off from the other two and headed north west. My husband sat down with me at this point, and we noticed more lights appearing to come out of the clouds one by one, and head north east with the occasional one headed north west. I lost count at 15, but I would say there were up to 20 lights that did this. We watched as the majority of them went out of sight, but there were 3 to 4 that stayed in the general area. We continued to watch them for a while. They were moving slowly, but kind of spontaneously. I then noticed a cluster between 5-8 of very dim, flashing lights in the same area that appeared to be dancing around but all traveling in the same general direction (west-south west.)

On Friday, May 1,2020 I went outside onto my deck at dusk After some minutes at around 9:10 pm Witnessed a small moving light- like a star light moving from the west to east It came towards my position and then faded out within seconds [ 10 - 15 seconds] Then ten minutes later , witnessed another brighter one to the west Much closer - quarter mile away ? This one's direction was from south to north directly west where I sat The brightness reduced dramatically after 5- 8 seconds , then faded out gone ! Then again at 9:35 pm witnessed a third one Resembling again like the first two like a starlight - whitish blue This one came from the northwest heading overhead southeast - faded out Then about 9:55 pm Again I witnessed another one heading the direction of last one witnessed Then after 20- 30 seconds witnessed another one - same direction Then another one following the first two counting them now to three They just kept coming [ 4,5,6,7,8,9-- - 40 +] one at a time like a train of single star lights This was going on for near ten minutes until the last one As I called a friend in neighboring Whitby,Ontario to go out and see these things While watching and talking to him on the phone Navigated him where in the sky to look Then after about near 40 + gone by there were no more Still chatting with my friend by speaker phone After couple minutes - More started to cross the sky - like a second wave Same characteristics in speed and separate distant apart in a line flight path 20 - 30 seconds at a time apart This second line of objects now were three- five degree west Yet still followed southeast direction from northwest Now my friend could see them watching and still chatting by phone After about 20 single objects had passed over Both of us noticed the last one had stopped As if took position to masquerade like a star I do understand about the presence of star link satellites Yet in this episode witnessed feel is a little more then that to report Just theorizing maybe that ALL are NOT star link satellites ? Please note the sky was absolutely clear which is rare here I tried on and off to film them Couple of poor quality videos Thanks for your site to report the bizarre

I noticed a light in the sky directly overhead that had all the characteristics of a satellite traveling approx. SW to NE. I have observed satellites in the past and at first I thought that this object was also a satellite. Then I noticed another one traveling in what appeared to be the same flight path approx. 10 seconds after the first. As I watched, a total of 9 objects tracked across the sky along the same path and approx. 10 seconds apart. Because they were traveling across the sky in a type of convoy (for lack of a better term), I could see as many as 4 at one time. Since I knew that the sun had set an hour or so earlier, I assumed that what I was seeing was sunlight reflecting off of them. This seemed to be the case since as they tracked to the northeast, they faded out. There wasn't any sound or aircraft marker lights. I just thought I'd report it because I'm not aware of satellites traveling along the same path in organized groups.

On the night of 5/1/2020 at 9 pm me and my wife seen on our security cams in the front of our home a beam of light that looked like a spot light. I thought it might of been something on the lens of the cam. But it then moved a bit. It lasted all night till morning i have the tape if interested. Also note the next day i went into the yard to see where it was. And it was right where a tree use to be in our yard. Once in the circle in our yard i felt confused and disoriented and then felt a pressure in my nose and felt the urge to build a totum poll with alien symbols on it.

Lights appearing seperate one after the other in a line out of nowhere in sky moving northeast as other lights that were not moving off on either side of the line of the other lights began moving and had a different color to them orange not bright white or bluish like others. They seem to be doing a military like staggered and protect formation. There were two that laid behind for a while as if to cover where the “caravan” had come from for about 5 more minutes. They moved in the sky effortlessly changing directions which is impossibly for a drone or plane. And I can say I see at this distance ... well they were moving really fast. Faster than any plane or rocket anything on this earth. My partner and I were astonished and tried to get video but my phone was a fail. I’m certain now that we are not alone. And I can’t find anybody who saw the same as we did. It wasn’t space x it wasn’t satellites it was not from here unless there’s a cover up from the public.
