Citrus Heights, CA
We saw an object that looked like a star vibrating in place and after a minute it went vertical into the sky. Then a minute later another one appeared in same area and dissipated then showed up again seconds later in the same vertical pattern going the same direction then dissipated into nothing.

Cape Coral, FL
I am a resident of Cape Coral, Florida. I am retired from the Missouri Judiciary and a former pilot. This evening, April 29, 2020, approximately 10:00PM eastern time I noticed a light about the brightness of a bright star southwest of my position which would have put it over Sanibel Island, Florida. It was approximately 30 degrees off the horizon on a mostly clear evening. The light seemed to be a cluster of lights or a larger object that had rotating lights on it. I watched the light for approximately 25 minutes. During that time it maintained its position in the sky but its movements were very sporadic. I used a pair of 10 X 50 binoculars and positioned the light adjacent to a power pole so I could better determine the object’s movements. I discount the idea that it was a drone because the movements were so erratic. Based on my observation using the power pole as a reference I estimate the movements were several hundred feet in all directions. The lights were of various colors from red, green blue and white. The colors were very vibrant. The colors diminished later to mostly white. The object started to slowly descend over a period of time and was finally obstructed from my view. I had seen a similar object several times in the sky at my home in central Missouri.

Fort Jones, CA
First noticed a very bright light hovering in the sky. Then noticed some star like lights moving through the sky and then ascending up until out of sight this continued for over an hour. S ome moving together some one at a time but eventually all ended up ascending up into the clouds out of sight meanwhile the original bright light drifted off until it was also out of sight. seemed like every time they moved shortly after the wind would pick up they were never in any type of formation and never had any trail of lights following them. Just looked like blinking stars

My father, mother, boyfriend, and I were outside our house watching the stars. We noticed a series of stars in a direct line and it took us a moment to realize that these stars were moving, perfectly alined and spaced exactly the same distance from each other moving in unison. The dots of light appeared to come out of thin air near a star and traveled in a diagonal line from bottom right to top left, and then proceeded to disappear next to another star. As we sat and watched them, we saw at least 50 of them, appearing, moving in perfect union, and then disappearing shortly after allowing another to come into sight. This went on for about 5 minutes when all of a sudden they stopped appearing and we watched the last few dots of light disappear next to the top left star. We all were slightly shocked at this and we talked trying to come up with explanations for what we saw, an asteroid didn't make sense and there's no planes that could fly so close together and ! so perfectly alined. There really was no logical explanation for what we saw.

Woodbury, GA
I saw a string of tiny lights traveling at a southeast heading from the northwest in a perfectly strait line, (single file). Very high possibly 10 to 20 thousand feet. One object would reverse course without stopping, or turning and continue moving in that direction, then reversing again. I watched until the end of the line had passed, then two brought up the rear. Could not have been conventional aircraft. No running lights, no sound, in close proximity. Jet aircraft couldn't travel in single file that close together. I did report to the local police dept. I don't think they believed me. Not saying that I saw UFO's. Don't know what it was. I am 71 years old and in good mental health. I don't take drugs or drink. I saw what I saw.

Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
At approximately 9:15 pm my husband and I were standing near the river and looked up to see a fleet of about 30 crafts (small lights) moving out of a cloaked area of the sky (north) and moving in a perfect line, perfectly spaced apart to the south. They moved into a space in the sky where one by one each would disappear. No sound at all. The whole event took about 5 minutes. We witnessed about 2-3 more after the initial fleet also come out of the cloaked area to the north and also move south into another “cloaked” area where they disappeared . It was like nothing we have ever seen.

Melbourne, FL
Witnessed a line of white lights (15+) traveling from north to south in the Suntree area of Florida. The white lights were solid in color with no signs of flickering or blinking. In addition the objects made no sound. The line of lights then vanished one by one until the last one disappeared. No clouds or obstructions were evident. Witnesses included a behavior analyst, a waitress, and some adolescent children.

I took my dog out to pee. As I looked South, I glanced up to see a bright white light with orange trails on each side fly straight down, eventually behind a cloud. Light was moving at an incredible rate of speed. No sounds could be heard, no flash or faint sound of impact. USMC veteran from Air Wing, this was no aircraft. I have seen shooting stars this was not like that either. Maybe a meteorite but unusual to have a trail on both sides and no sound of impact.

I was outside in my car and my daughter came outside to bring me something when we looked directly to the sky and noticed a bright light that I thought initially was an airplane. It was going in and out. You could see the bright light then it would start to dim and then it disappeared. I watched it a few times and I thought it may have been clouds covering and then it emerging from those clouds causing it to seem to dim and then increase in brightness. No. It NEVER moved. It was in the same spot. Other planes around it moved but this one just stayed in the same position. It wasn't covered by clouds either. So it actually WAS dimming and then getting brighter, disappearing and reappearing minutes later in the same position. This wasn't an airplane. It wasn't a drone or satellite because they move. It wasn't a star because they don't do that at least not that noticeably or as quickly as it was happening. I had my husband and my son come see the light. I actually had a neighbor who was walking by at the time and she stopped and watched with her mouth open too. Two other neighbors were outside on the balcony also looking at the object once they noticed that we were filming it. I got a video.. a few. Anyone who can tell me what this is or if they've had the same experience please let me know. This was the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed.. but sadly it's the first time and possibly the only time I will get to. I am pretty pessimistic about aliens or UFO existence but THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED!! It was.. so incredibly strange. I can't explain.

Iowa Park, TX
Last night I stepped out on porch looked up North West direction and it looked like a string of white lights evenly spaced apart from my view began about the height of the telephone pole upward in a linear arched manner. The lights were moving in a line toward the half moon sitting due west of my home, then one by one disappeared into the darkness. The skies were mostly clear few wispy clouds from few miles east of my home to the west. However, east of this area was thunder storm lightning event that was moving south east. I’ve never seen anything like this before and was wondering if they were launching satellites or something. Wish I’d had my phone out there with me. I’m an educated person in the health field we live outside city limits slightly where ther a no city lights interfering with star gazing. I’m certain I’m not the only person to have observed these lights it was extraordinary it caught my eye. I’ve never seen or reported anything like this before. You may contact me if needed/confirm if others saw these lights too.

I saw a line of about 8 to 10 "star" looking objects. They were moving in an upward angle towards the south. Every single one of them were the same distance apart and moving quickly. The wind was gusting but these "star" like objects were in sync.

5 or 6 star-like objects were seen flying in a perfectly straight line, perfectly spaced apart crossing the sky from west to south east. Initially located objects directly above and they quickly crossed the entirety of the night sky disappearing from sight in about 30 seconds time.seemingly much faster than any airliner seen in the same night sky. They faded into the distance in the south eastern sky.

I was driving and saw 10 lights moving in a straight line, very fast, towards the moon. Once they were in the moon lights path they disappeared and the appeared to have scattered in 5 different directions, 2 aircrafts in each direction. I would’ve thought they were planes, but they had no other lights on them.

Folly Beach, SC
We saw approximately 40 white lights, perfectly spaces in a perfect straight line, cruising across the sky. They all would get to a certain point and disappear. These lights were between us and the big dipper. There were 4 of us, all sitting around the fire when my friend looked up and said, “what ((deleted)) is that?” The objects were moving from left to right. The whole thing lasted about 3 minutes. Speculation was 4 things; drones, satellites, high altitude night jumps or UFO’s.

Louisville, KY
Numerous lights that were the size of a typical size star in the nighttime sky were seen by myself and my wife. The lights moved about the speed of a jet plane, perhaps a little faster. The lights were all in a single row following each other in unison and spaced exactly the same distance from each other, perhaps 4-5 seconds apart in their travel speed. The seemingly endless amount of lights kept appearing one by one out of the NNW skies, somewhat over the Louisville International Airport, and moved to the ESE one by one until each one would fade out of view. After about 5 minutes of viewing this event, the last light appeared out of the NNW and finally faded out of view to the ESE as all the other lights did. I do not know how long this event occurred because when I stepped outside and looked up into the sky as I normally do each evening the lights were already there. My wife and I watched them for about 5 minutes or so. No sounds emanated from the lights a! nd none of the lights were blinking, they were each just a steady whiteish-yellowish light. The elevation was hard to estimate, but they appeared to be at least as high as a commercial jetliner, perhaps much higher. They definitely were not close to the earth however. I would estimate that we witnessed 60-100 lights in the 5 minutes that we watched them. Though I did not witness this, my wife said at one point that some of the lights in the single line of lights split into a V-shape and came to a stop for 5-6 seconds and immediately began traveling the exact opposite direction.

I was sitting outside with a small fire, watching stars. I live in the direct line of the airport in our area so I’m used to seeing planes go by. What I saw tonight were not planes. They were high in the sky almost resembling stars, they had no color other than white and flew in a straight line at the same speed in the same direction simultaneously. I watched for about a minute then went and got my husband and son becasise I just couldn’t believe or explain what I was witnessing. I counted 6 but didn’t start counting until I realized it was something very strange. I used a compass and to the best of my ability I calculate that they were going from the northwest to the southeast. The whole thing lasted maybe two minutes before I lost sight of them over the mountain.

Long string of lights traveling for south west to the north east. Evenly spaced apart and traveling at the same speed. I saw about 40 or 50 but they were already above and passing by when I noticed it.
