I was on my back porch and saw a bright white light when I looked west to the top of the trees. It was 4 to 5 times the size of the larger stars in the sky. I thought it might be a plane, but then it moved sideways quickly. It seemed to "buzz" around (like an insect) and moved toward the west, then east again. I went inside to grab my phone to video tape it, and it was still moving around. My neighbors looked from their vantage point (after I texted them to see if they had a drone or something out, which they didn't), but couldn't see it through the thicker trees. I went upstairs and could still see it, although it had moved further west. It was still there and "flitting about" 35 minutes after first sighting it.

It was in the NW sky starting from the horizon into the sky for 4-5 min minutes. When trying to record you could only hear a weird ticking noise and none of our voices.

Observed a string of 30-40 objects very high in the night sky travelling at a magnetic compass bearing of 150 degrees ESE. They appeared as bright white lights evenly spaced in groups of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, with no logical pattern of grouping. Fast moving, silent, they appeared like a train in the sky. After about 5 minutes, a second group of exactly 20 lights travelling at the same bearing passed by. My wife and I both saw the lights. They were spotted at approximately above the sliver moon, which was below Venus. We watched them pass over the house and head in a direction towards Grand Manan Island, Canada, and suddenly vanish in the night sky.

Saw a row of perfectly straight lines headed in a north east direction. Went to grab my camera and a second row of perfectly straight lines were heading in a north west direction between 20 or 30 lights. Saw a bright light flash in between then vanished. I have a video but it's not very good as the light was really dim and my cell phone isn't that sensitive.

Two different blue and red looking lights blinking on each object. One was a little higher than the other. One disappeared in the tree line. The higher one then slowly went down to the tree line and continued blinking for five more minutes before disappearing completely.

Lowell, MI
Happening: Observed a long string of approximately 50 objects in single file formation moving in a SE direction without sound prior, during, or after the event. Objects were tightly spaced, illuminated as bright or brighter than the stars, no blinking lights. Assumed the light glow was result of sunlight reflecting on objects, similar to the International Space Station but a little brighter. Objects faded from view before reaching the SE horizon. String of objects length was long, approximately ¼ of the visible sky from an open field.

I noticed a string of lights that resembled stars but they were in a straight line of 15-20 evenly spaced and then suddenly disappeared 1 after the other. Un know objects were very high in the sky and traveling SE as I was headed West @ Floyd hill on I70. I have seen a few videos one from Detroit of the exact thing I saw. Look under mass UFO sighting on You Tube.

As my cousin and I were outside on the porch staring at the Big Dipper and all of a sudden a little light next to the Big Dipper broke off into two separate lights dancing with each other circling each other and intertwining in mid flight. Really unusual movements for it to be a jet or a plane. After the lights were circling each other, the two lights began to head west but now they are flying parallel to each other off into the distance.

47 year old male, born and raised in general area. Former army reservist, former police officer and correctional officer. My house is in an area that is elevated compared to the rest of the city, and my back yard can oversee the scope or span of several cities. I always take my dog outside for a potty trips, several times daily. I always look at the stars and scenery at night as I wait for my dog to finish her business. I am very familiar with the landscape of stars in relation to their position in the sky, as I stated I look at them daily at night. I had noticed three not seen before lights that appeared to look like stars in the sky. They looked like part of the star scape, but I felt they looked odd based off their formation and distance to one another. Visually they appeared to be in proximity of being over the unincorporated part of Riverside and the Lake Matthews area. Going back to factors that caused my attention, were that the 3 lights or star like ! lights, were equal distance to each other, but not that far apart for being stars. The 3 lights appeared to be part of the star scape at first glance. The lights were not only equal distance in width, but also on the same plane horizontally. That is probably what stood out to me most. They looked like 3 separate stars but strangely on the same plane. I asked my adult son to come outside and told him and pointed out, those 3 stars are never in the sky (as I look daily). We watched for 10 minutes. Nothing changed. I thought “okay” maybe they are stars and for whatever reason they are visible today and were not visible to me in the past. This was about 8pm “ish” at night. I then went inside. I came back out at about 830pm just to check on the 3 lights again. The 3 lights that had appeared to be stars, were now gone. All the other stars in the sky were still visible as normal, but the 3 star like lights had completely vanished. There was no change in weather etc. in that span o! f time. I brought my adult son back outside for confirmation. ! We both agreed that the 3 lights had vanished.

Multiple lights flashing by on a straight line but multiple lines and very fast traveling only a short distance into nothing coming from nothing in the middle of the sky

We saw a very strange object with two lights on each far in in the sky last night that flew in a circular pattern for about 20-30 minutes and the object would be horizontal one minute then vertical the next as the two lights would stay in perfect sync on each end and the two lights would get closer together at times and then go apart really really far and appear as if the object was growing to a size that was 4 times the size of a normal aircraft. It was also loud like an aircraft, but we couldn't see any body of the object or other lights besides the two lights on each end.

Tonight it was the usual ball of light that dimmed and brightened on and off then disappeared. Last week myself and my wife witnessed a red triangle that hovered above the tree line then slowly desended beyond sight. Ive lived in this area my entire life, Ive witnessed several different types of craft in flight, i have alot of questions with no one to ask, things to tell with no one to listen. I have children that have seen some of these things.

Blinking lights, 7 or 8, bright green in color and of moderate intensity seen beginning at dark, in forest, at tree line and in my back yard. (This is a forested area.) Slightly cool evening, 63°f,no precipitation, 31% humidity. Lights observed flying at various heights and when moving, parallel to ground. Please note this is the 5th consecutive year I have seen these lights, they come in Mid April and have been seen multiple times before "leaving" in June. I have made several reports w/ NUFORC over these years. No noise from lights and I can't see more of them to report a better description.

Went outside to view Lyrid meteor shower. Visibility 50%. Ran back inside for phone to take pic of unusual cloud formation. Which was boomarang shaped. Noticed a very bright star. First took photo of what appeared to be "Big Dipper." Shot came out ok. But bright star fascinated me. Was moving very slow. Thought maybe a plane as that was distance where one would see a plane. Moved very slow,then stopped. It backed up & then did a loop-like formation as if writing longhand. Seemed way too far up to be a drone. It started moving slowly forward again & eventually disappeared. I took 9 photos & 2 videos.

Around 11 PM, I looked out of my bedroom window and saw an orange light going straight from northeast to southwest. It looked about plane height, but I have never seen a plane with a bright orange light, or a plane go in that path. I was the color on Mars, with the luminosity of a very bright star. I did not keep looking at it once it had begun to leave the view of my window. I look back out around 11:05, and an orange dot had come into view over my neighbors house, and by 11:07 the dot was gone.

Stopped at intersection of highways 6 and 39, in Manitoba, Canada. Looked up into night sky and saw it was clear. Saw a single light, which appeared to be a commercial airliner, traveling from west to ea st. However it was then followed by another light on same flight path and speed. Then a continuous line of lights followed, all travelling at same spacing and speed in single file. Only 2 of the lights broke from the path of flight to speed up and begin to pass the craft in front. They proceeded from one horizon to the other, west to east for approximately 15 minutes. I lost count after about 30 craft. I believe there were probably over 40 to 45 craft all told but I did lose count at 30, as I walked around my vehicle.

This is second time writing. First was for Reddit. -I have told the story SEVERAL times by voice, phone, in person. It has never once changed. I have (during C-VID 19 Lockdown in Chicago) ALMOST convinced myself i didn't see it. But i did. I was coming home from my parents in the suburbs. Heading to my place in Chicago where i live. It was POURING rain the entire 40 minute drive. It suddenly stopped, still bad conditions while i approached o'hare airport. I believe there is an underpass from i90 where ohare is literally above me on the bridge… As i exit this bridge right next to o'hare… i see the.most.beautiful. Shooting star i’ve eve imagined existed. (this is the first millisecond of time broken down) I saw this bright bright light shoot out of my vision. As this millisecond comes to a close, i realize that i saw this light fly AWAY from me. I am a mechanical engineer, i know my coordinate systems extremely well. I can tell you this light traveled up, and away from me (North East Direction). The next slight millisecond of time consisted in me understanding all the sudden that this was NOT a shooting star. It was pouring rain not 5 minutes ago. I look up, the entire sky is covered with rain clouds. They are so presumptuous that they look like their 50 feet above my vehicle. This “shooting star” that i saw i realized left my plane of vision up and away and i still see where it went: a PERFECT horizontal break in the huge rain clouds. This all takes place out of the underpass of o'hare airport. After realizing this light just escaped through that cover, the next millisecond in time is butterflies in my stomach. Because the light i just saw couldn't have been a shooting star given the cloud cover. I realize that i also saw the lights TURN INTO ONE LIGHT. From the close, o'hare type location i first saw it, i saw there were in fact 3 lights and during their exit it formed to one. The butterflies progress. Another millisecond goes by; and i realize the lights are longgg gone. All the sudden my focus comes back, and i see two GIANT jumbo jets flying synchronized, in same exact direction, same exact plane of height of ground that the angle of the lights flew. These planes, giant aircrafts are moving fast i’m sure. But they're moving from my dumb perception slowly as they glide from a take off out of ohare. I line these up in my geometric mind; and i notice they are at the same plane the lights were, and the lights were PERFECTLY CENTERED in between these two flashing airplanes. As if the airplanes perfectly catapulted the lights. Or guided? Or Followed? Around this time i also noticed street lights separating east and west i-90 FLICKERED. Like a perfect trail in direction of that light… Also during this time it hits me of what i just saw. My next move is to call my father. He is a wise realistic man. Straight shooter but absolutely believes in UFO’s. I call him tell him the EXACT description and words i just used to explain this. The very absolute second my story comes to an obvious end. We both hear, a click click clunk and the call drops from us. I call back, thinking perhaps he was messing with me? He thought the same of me. He rushes me off the phone and goes to bed (10:15 ish Pm) He is never like that he was very skeptical. I think i was confirmed sighting, and they used my phone call as aid in their research whatever is going on. Since this i have just today posted on another website, and all the sudden today there is our USA govt. Releasing old footage of UFOs normalizing them? So now any local stories are blocked by CNN and CBS mentioning the pentagon releasing UFO videos. Also After my sighting 4.20.20 there was a METEOR SHOWER the next day. NIce odds right? Also same week that Elon Musk is sending satteltes out. This was definetly not that hence those need rockets, and this was silent and 50^300032.00290-10 times faster than any light i’ve ever seen.

I was driving home and all of a sudden I noticed a bright white/yellow light in the sky...it shot off at a crazy fast speed to the left...leaving a small trail and then was gone. Appeared and disappeared out of nowhere. It was too low to be a plane, clouds were in the sky so couldn’t be a shooting star. It moved too fast for an explanation. My first thought was UFO and I had pure panic.

I witnessed approximately 70 light gold objects (like satellites) fly in disciplined spacing in a file flying east to west over our home. There were no blinking wing lights and there was no sound whatsoever. Towards the end of this file of lights three were flying in a “v’ formation as though they were rear security for the file of 65 or so objects that preceded them. I got my wife out of bed to verify what I was seeing. I am retired from the U.S. Army and it seems to me that maybe I was seeing afterburners of jet aircraft, but they were totally silent.

the Lights passed over us in the night sky one after another in a line they were equally spaced apart travelling a the same speed and came from the same direction and vanished from sight in the same direction I’ve seen satellite but nothing like this I counted 30 plus but I then lost count

Leaving boyfriends house at 9:45pm, we walked outside to my truck and notice this strange light reflecting off the clouds. At first we thought it was his neighbor shining a super strong flashlight into the clouds, but realized it has no trail of light behind it (light was coming from above and behind the cloud) it was just this huge round spot-light looking light circling us. The light did a couple of zig zaggy circles over us. I have never seen anything like it in my life. My boyfriend ran into the house to grab a flashlight to see if he could recreate what we just saw for some kind of explanation. As soon as my boyfriend pointed the flashlight to the night sky the mysterious light disappeared, and we noticed that it was the only cloud in the sky. Now I'm all tripped out and begin my spooky journey to my house. As I get further away down the road I looked in my mirror noticed just above his house is this bright cloud it looks as if the moon was behind it illuminating it (we are days away from the new moon no way it could of been the moon). The cloud had this soft peach orange glow about it. When I got home I called my boyfriend and told him about the cloud and he told me that shortly after I had left the cloud started to slowly move away towards the mountain.
