Eatonville, WA
Huge flash of light beamed out of sky into my woods. Noticed it from inside my cabin. Ran outside and the light did not appear to have a source above it. Similar to lights shown from helicopters. l, however, absolutely no sounds in the sky. Absolutely silent. This light was extremely bright. Then, shut off and disappeared.

Newberg, OR
A silent double blueish white light that moved extremely fast and did loops, turns, and an extremely fast descent, and blinked on and off in odd patterns.

Carlsbad, NM
Outside at 6am and looked up abd saw what appeared to be a largwr rgan normal bright star. I watched it for about 3 minutes, then noticed it was moving slowly. It moved fairly slow and finally it came across my house, never speeding up at all. It moved on across the sky and then just disappeared. From first seeing it until it disappeared, the total time was 10 minutes.

Portage, MI
We were looking at Moon and Venus. A straight string of lights appeared under the Moon moving quickly from West Southwest to East. We saw them for about 30 seconds. They disappeared when they reach approx due South from our location. At first I thought it was a vapor trail being strangely illuminated but that was clearly not the case. The Ohio description from 4/8 was very consistent with what we saw. We didn't have time to count. Objects were in straight line but unevenly spaced. Tried to film with phone but were not successful.

Cassopolis, MI
Saw points of light streaking across night sky, west to north (from Gemini to Hydra atea), in-line and in groups of three, but very close together, moving very fast and very high. These points of light (possible ships?) began to dissapear from front of grouping, like they were going behind sonething, until finally the last one dissapeared.

Union, MI
My wife an I watch 35 lights very high in sky, in almost a straight line fly over our home in Union MI tonight. They were flying west to east in slight southern sky as we were in hot tub in our deck. My wife is very skeptical, but was surprised by what she witnessed. They were not evenly spaced out, slighty out of line but looked like they were headed to same destination. No sound or blinking. I have never seen that many satilites lined up like that. way to slow for meteor, speed of slow satilites.

Lebanon, TN
I was getting in my truck and seen approximately 15 objects in the sky thinking they were planes but then I realized they were in a straight line not to far apart from each other. I told my husband and sister in-law and they witnessed the exact same thing. After about a minute these lights started to disappear and then the last two lights merged together and disappeared as one. My husband tried to get a picture but the objects were to high in the sky to get a clear shot. All of this took place in Wilson County, Tennessee about 9:30 pm Central time.

While walking my dog tonight, I noticed how brilliant the stars were! Clear night. As I gazed at the stars, I noticed what appeared to be a perfect line of stars... spaced exactly the same distance apart...but they were MOVING! I kept thinking my eyes were playing tricks on me, knowing that stars don't travel. But the line was moving. There was no noise. They appeared like bright stars in the sky...seemed quite a distance up. It felt like hours, but in reality is was probably 45 seconds to a minute before they just started to fade away. Just disappeared into the ethers. I have never witnessed anything like it in my life. There were probably 8-10 of them in the line. I did attempt to shoot video, but the video is black. Perhaps it could be blown up to see if any detail can be extracted. If you would like to have it, I'm happy to provide it.

Johnsburg, IL
Stepped outside on our deck on 4/26/20 at approx. 9:20 p.m. just to look at the moon and venus, and we could not miss the single file line of lights in the sky, unevenly spaced but close enough together that we could count approximately 15 lights in a row. The last two lights were next to each other but still in line at the end of these UFO's. The UFO lights came from the Southwest and heading to the Southeast from Johnsburg Illinois. The white lights appeared to be round and were flying at high altitude. They were large enough to see clearly. No aircraft noise. It was a little windy outside and the sky was clear and bright with stars. I have never seen anything like this before and we do a lot of skygazing. We could not see an object, just bright large lights.

I was walking my dog in a park at night with a clear sky. I saw a faint vertical streak on the horizon and thought it might have been the remnants of a comet streak. As I continued to look, it got brighter, closer, and began to rotate to orient horizontally in relation to the horizon. Once it was directly above me, I noticed it was a line of star-like lights, each about as bright as an average star. Some were spaced in twos or threes. I thought it could have been a comet streak but once it was horizontal across the sky I saw individual lights following a straight line pattern. The lights moved too fast to be satellites or planes but too slow to be meteors or comets. It seemed to be higher than the normal flight altitude of planes. There was a point in the sky that once the lights hit it, they fizzled out and disappeared. One by one they hit this point and until they were all gone. I also noticed that once the last light disappeared, the frogs around me start! ed singing again and I had been watching the event in dead silence. My sister was at a bonfire about two miles away and got a video of the line of lights. I truly have never seen something like this in my life.

Naperville, IL
We saw about 100 tiny lights like stars flying in a straight line from the west to the east directly over our home. They were very distant and not spaced out evenly there were some singularly spaced some in pairs some in threes. But all flying in a straight line one after another across the sky. The appreared in the west flew over our home and disappeared into blackness in the east.

Mankato, MN
I saw a fleet of UFOs straight in a line passing over mankato. The line was so long that it can not be any human made aircraft. Their speed was too fast. And the lights were in patterns just like of an aircraft.

Dozen or more white lights traveling southeast in a straight line.

I tried to take a photo of what we saw but my phone started acting up it would not go to camera mode. Then when I looked up to take the picture the round lights just disappeared without a trace.

Plainfield, IL
I was enjoying a nice fire 🔥 in my back yard when I noticed from the corner of my eye a string of lights. At first I thought I was seeing things then I’d call my kids to verify what I was seeing. It was a trail of lights about 20 of them in a single formation moving from the horizon to the point of the night sky. I’d compared it to a machine gun shooting white tracer rounds to the sky. Craziest thing I’d ever saw

I was laying in bed and had a funny feeling come over me. I gazed out my bedroom window and saw two shining lights moving silently. I have seen these lights often, The first time I saw them I was 13 years old. Every time I see them I get sick the next day and dream that I'm in a medical facility. What is strange is that when I am there I'm in a room and come out to see where I am at, and it looks like a hospital setting and there is nurses there. They tell me that I'm okay and to go back into my room. I don't really now what is happening to me.
