One flashed like a lighter trying to be lit. Would flash, go dark, move, and then flash again a further distance away. And repeat [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Certain]

South Deming, NM, approximately over Columbus, NM, my girlfriend and I spotted a stationary object in the sky while traveling west on I-10 at approximately 2:30 pm local time. We proceeded to keep an eye on the object as we traveled until I-10 curved and it was hard to look back and see it. Duration was roughly 30 minutes. The object did not move, stayed just below the cloud line, and did not change in shape, although the color changed from black (when we were east of it) to silver (when we were directly north), and white (when we were west). There were no visible lights. Clouds moved around it so it was not a cloud. Shape stayed fairly consistent as that of cross between a blimp and hot air ballon, but it was clearly neither.

I finished yard work and laid on a hammock. Looked north eastward and noticed a few flashing lights kind of looked like balloons. I took video but they are very small flashing points so you have to look closely. One video also shows a plane for comparison. I did try to edit the settings on another video to make the lights more noticeable. Bugs, planes, birds and balloons that were also in the sky looked different and less bright.

3 videos available. One Video it's Coming to my house. Next video it's there for several seconds LOUD BUZZING . 3rd video GONE Like Nothing. In the videos you will see a Shed. In the shed is Myself doing Laundry during the Appearance of the Object. While I was in the Shed doing laundry I did Not have the washer on only the Dryer and I heard a Loud HORRID Buzzing Noise. In my area there are Vehicles with Loud Exhaust also Polaris's and Various Country Vehicles but you can see in the videos there is no traffic at all. If you look to the Let of that shed you will see my home Stops a Street with a Stop sign. When I heard that Horrid Sound I thought it was a Vehicle just Idling there like some kind of 18 Wheeler or something but No because look at the Date and Time at night. My videos are only 5 Seconds I'm afraid. I captured them on my Blink Security System so I hope that is ok? One more thing.....in the video you will see a Street Light in the property. Street Lights are Yellow and all the same Amber Like Tone. The Object is so blinding in the video I can only imagine what it would have looked like if I had enough Light to turn the Color on the Cameras on. It was too Loud to be a Drone and way too Bright to me so let me know what you guys think. Also one very last thing....in the videos you will Notice dogs in my property they are the Neighbors dogs and they took off in two different Directions in those Videos on my property but those dogs across the street where that light appeared.

Auburn, ME

Was in hot tub, facing North, looking skyward. Low haze, but not super overcast, sky was mostly clear/normal. My wife was with me but not facing in direction to see it. Object was not there, sky was empty, then object - it was the shape (and at arms length, the size) of an M&M - appeared - fully lit - in sky at ~45 deg. The weird part was it was already moving at significant speed when it appeared. Also appeared to be fully unwaveringly illuminated the whole time with no trails or dissapation. Traveled ~15 inches across the sky in ~2 seconds, from East to West at a downward trajectory. It looked like it was a mile or so away. Disappeared just as quickly. Did not appear to fizzle out, just disappeared. I have seen hundreds of shooting stars, it was NOT a shooting star. It was of a size that if it was an object, it was large enough to be seen on radar.

Went to a annual city event ,when we got there saw a fast moving light in the sky ,looked like a star had the same shine but was not moving fast enough to be a shooting star thought it could be a satellite but was moving faster than a satellite would move,that did out of sight then saw 2 planes flying after each other in the same direction with about a 3-4gap between them so took some pics of there flight path then saw a 3rd and final plane follow the same path ,didn't check the pics till the next day and saw 3 distinct cone/triangle shape craft with green/yellow underglow.

Cool, Coldish day. Reasonably clear. Vehicle backdropped by clouds. Enough highway noise to mask any sound. No sonic boom. 500 mph? In zoom appears to have field around it.

Light seen flying then hovering the past 2 nights. Too high for a drone & no sound for a helicopter. As it hovered, a huge flash was seen in the horizon. Object then flew off after a few minutes.

I was driving east on Route 2 towards Boston a little after midnight when I saw a low flying craft in the sky a little ahead of me. It was heading in my direction over the highway. It had fairly nondescript blinking red and blue lights on it, and a very bright downward facing white light on the underside of its nose. I assumed it was a helicopter with a search light on, and turned my head up to look at it as I passed underneath. To my surprise, however, it had what appeared to be a V-shaped formation of maybe 4 or 6 lights on the bottom, with the brightest light serving as the center point at the front of the V shape. It did not appear to be moving in any sort of extraordinary manner, and everything that I saw aside from the V shaped formation seemed consistent with it being a helicopter. I was also near Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford/ Lexington, although the object appeared to be too slow moving for it to have been an airplane. I have seen things that I would generally classify as UFO’s on at least 2 previous occasions, and am generally accepting of the idea that there are things in our skies that we lack a solid understanding of. There is definitely a part of me that wants to be able to say that I saw something that we cannot explain through conventional knowledge, so I am fully accepting that there may be some cognitive biases at play here. That said, I’m mainly posting here on the off-chance that someone else saw the same thing and was similarly unable to identify it, as there were numerous other cars on the highway at the time and it is a fairly densely populated area.

Three of us saw a very bright robin egg blue rectangle appear, above the trees, about 30' high, above us, and then shoots off toward the West. No noise. It was seen for about 3 seconds. The light did not seem to illuminate anything.

After finding this particular object in air , we thought this might be some natural activity happening but as time goes on we noticed weird movements like as soon as light came closer we could see clouds covering it and even the light circulating it was in its fixed position with the air craft and even when it was moving towards other direction the light was fixed and flowing its same way of light movement as if like moving car headlights which is fixed in car and moves as the car moves . I have same video with me . If the any other way i can send you video please contact me . [NUFORC annotation: Searchlight - Certain]

I saw a round black object flying in the sky in a strange flight pattern. This was in day light. It was either small or extremely far away. It was definitely not a plane or a bird. My spouse saw it as well. I have a video if needed.

Odell, IL

There were 4 of us flying in a Cessna 172. We were at 5500 feet heading south bound and saw a black, round object off our right wing. It was about 10 feet in diameter and 50 feet or less from our plane. I saw it at the 1:00 position from our plane and I continued watching it for about 5-10 seconds until we passed it. After watching it for about 2 seconds and I called out to the others in the plane, “What is that black, round thing?” Two others in the plane witnessed the object as well.

And then disappeared completely. Duration was between 5min and 10 min of sighting.

Puyallup, WA

At approximately 11:30 PM I looked out my window and noticed an object blinking multiple lights. First I thought it was a drone. The object appeared about about a mile away when I first noticed it. I retrieved my field binoculars, took them outside. What I see is beautiful, multicolored bright, flashing lights all over the outside of the object. Deep deep blues, gold, red, silver, green and white colors. The object remains in the same spot for over an hour now, no noise at all. I live in a quiet neighborhood, if it was making noise I would have heard it. I also thought it might have been a Helicopter, I looked on flight aware and did not see any aircraft in that area. But it might have been masked also. It was one of the most beautiful objects I've seen in the sky. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

I felt for some reason the need to look outside the window like if something was calling me. I saw this flying object , from the window, at 75 degrees . As soon as I saw it I knew it was not terrestrial. I went downstairs very quickly and outside my house, to track it . It kept flying almost straight and steady, but oscillating a bit. It didn't make sound. It was slow, and I think it flew for about 2 minutes before disappearing behind the front house. Triangular or hexagonal shape, the colour was black, and it has three lights, they were steady and never blinking. The lights were white and red, and were on the object itself, like you would see on a plane, but there were no wings. I have actually saw this object more than once, not just in this location. It was not a plane, and it was not a satellite. If it had been a military plane I think it should have made a sound, and would have been much faster. But it was not. So what was that?

Hartford, CT

I was going to the car to get her Glasses when I look up I see 3 triangle shape floating silently but all came from the west to East so took my phone out and Called my wife then I hit record as she was asking me what was that. We called my son and niece and my daughter to look at it. I know u wasn’t going crazy it was clearly not something normal. I stop recording and more came at this point my wife is freaking out and so much was goi g through my head. Would like to know if the Life Start Helicopter from Hartford Hospital seen them cause the ones that came after where a lot lower than the ones I recorded. I decided to send this video so that you guys can see. I believe the wife might have more videos and my kids and niece where there as witnesses. Experience of a lifetime. Always was a believer but never in my wildest dream I would have thought to see one.
