Flashing lights heading Northeast in a military staggered pattern. Possibly about 100yds a part. This went on for about 15 minutes. Lost count of how many after seeing 20 of these lighted objects in the sky. They would appear in groups of 3 to 4 close to one another. Then another group with same pattern and direction.

Blue Springs, MO
I stepped out my front door that faces East. A very bright star caught my eye. As I looked at it, I noticed what looked like a satellite passing by it. I watched a few more seconds and saw another behind it traveling at the exact speed and direction, northeast. I went to my back deck, where there was very little light to see more clearly. About 30-40 of these objects passed by, at what seemed like a very high altitude, over about 10 minutes. I went to get others from inside to observe as well. Four of us all saw the same objects clearly, and could not explain them.

I was taking my dogs out and I was looking up at the sky at the asteroid light and night sky like normal. I notice single white lights equally spaced apart, no sound from them for being so high in the sky, moving from the West to the east at a fairly decent speed. I called my wife and son out to see it, because it was something strange in the night sky. I counted 10 at that moment and as I looked to the east I noticed more lights heading the same direction and then vanished.

What looked like satellites but 20+ in a row perfectly spaced out with the exception of a few that had varying speeds. Lasted about 10 minutes.

Liberty, MO
Clear night. These very tiny solid lights were traveling from the SSW to the NNE. About 40-50 degrees off the horizon. Just below Venus I believe at this time. Each light were the same distant from each other all traveling the same speed. Can tell they where very high/far off in space.

College Place, WA
Saw a string of Stars evenly spaced out for about 30 minutes, could be 50+, they were in a staight line. towards the end the line was in a different part of the ski but going the same direction going north-east. toward the end the end of the 30 minutes the stars were not in line up perfectly. No noise, very high like a Satelite, Also saw a shooting star go across too. I do have a poor video

Antioch, CA
Earlier this evening at approximately 8:30 p.m. in Antioch, California, I got on my bike and rode to my neighbors house to hang out..he was working on a car in his driveway so I got off my bike and sat on the curb. I looked up at the night sky and I noticed what looked like very faint satelite. Instead of just one like I usually see, there was at least 30 that i saw and they were headed in one direction, at the exact same speed, in a single file line but there were a few that werent. They were spaced apart evenly and there was no sound. There was no twinkling like stars. They were just dim points of light that looked exactly like a satellite.

A massive amount of extremely fast moving, single colored, bright lights. Absolutely no sounds. Spotted a single airplane that did not match the incredible speeds and formation of the bright lights.

I was outside looking up at the sky when i noticed what appeared to be a satalite drifting across the sky. When i noticed a second following closely directly behind it. As i had the two in my site i noticed another one drop out of the sky and follow directly behind it at what appeared to be a semi close pace. I tried to see where they were coming from but there seemed to be no trail. I called my folks to come out and take a look and they to saw what I saw. It almost looked like they were dropping out of the sky. They were very high, too high to be planes. They seemed to be traveling at a fast pace. I counted twenty in all. After about 25 minutes it stopped. I went in the house and returned outside about five minutes later and saw two more disappear across the sky. The sky is dark tonight with no moon .

Niles, MI
Last night me and my girlfriend were out looking at the stars and we saw an odd thing it looked like there was about 30 lights about a mile to a mile and a 1/2 apart going from West to North East consistently went on for a about 15 minutes One of the lights separated from the others and went in a totally different direction. It was like a conveyor belt we would look and another would appear move across the sky and fade off. At any given time you could see 3 to 4 moving thru the sky at once. Always the same distance apart. Never any blinking or flashing happened

My husband and I were driving last night and I was watching this bright orange light slowly rise straight up above the tree line. The further we drove the higher it rose until I told him to pull over so we could watch and see what it was. As soon as we did that it disappeared. It was not blinking or flashing. It was bright and big enough to tell that it wasn't a star or something else. It went straight up and as soon as we stopped to watch it was gone!

Wendell, MN
Witnessed lights traveling in straight line from SW to NE, quite evenly spaced. Several sets of 2 traveling side by side. There were approximately 36. Seemed to other random movements off to the sides of the line, but not as bright. The ones in the line were very bright.

Tonight at approximately 10 pm I stepped out on my porch to look at the stars, when I noticed two "stars" evenly spaced moving across the sky, then another, then another, in what appeared to be slow flying, high altitude crafts, all evenly spaced apart, heading in a straight line toward the north east. I called my husband after I witnessed about 8 of them, and he joined me on the porch. We watched at least another 5 or 6, appearing one at a time from the south west, evenly spaced, traveling at the same speed, and disappearing in the north eastern sky. My husband went back into the house, and I grabbed my phone to call my brother who lives about 5 miles away. He stepped outside and together, we watched them come again and again. That phone call lasted about 10 minutes, we saw at least another 6 together. I needed to know I wasn't alone in seeing these. Very strange and a bit scary. They subsided at approximately 10:20 pm. I have written to Wood Tv 8 and to Gerald R. Ford International Airport to see if I can get an explanation of what these air craft might have been, and am awaiting a response.

My girlfriend and I went outside to smoke a cigarette and noticed a "train" of lights directly overhead moving SW to NE, I've looked into the Starlink stuff and am unconvinced. I don't know how long it had been going on beforehand, but by the time we noticed, they were spaced a fair distance apart and were not in a perfect line. Some slowed down, seemingly to let others pass. Initially it was a line, then there was a Chevron formation of 3 that eventually broke to let one pass. They turned slightly at a specific point in the sky. After about 20 minutes of a steady stream of them, they traffic cleared up and stragglers continued to appear. When at a certain point overhead, they would get very bright and back to the average luminosity. They were very fast in our opinion, but were able to adjust speed. If they were all in a straight line like I've seen for Starlink I'd believe that to be the case, but that's not what happened.
