Both myself and my boyfriend were looking over the security camera tape minutes after the light was caught on our surveillance camera. After breaking it down frame by frame we still are stumped. We have a few security cameras. This one faces south from our bedroom window.

ROCKFORD, IL
It was about 10 minutes to midnight, I was sitting in my chair in my living room and looked out toward the east and saw an object with very bright lights. It was moving fairly slowly in a southern direction. I first saw it over the golf course (east of our home) where there very few trees and continued to watch it as it progressed south beyond some trees. It was moving horizontal to the ground. I moved to the kitchen window and then the dining room to get a better view of it and saw there was a second one, same shape, as if following it, in the same direction or path. The shape was unusual, it had a center light with what appeared to be a spoke-like pattern of straight lights extending from the center light. All the bright lights were the same size. The “spokes” or straight lines of light could be described as being at the 12:00, 2:00, 4:00, 6:00, 8:00, 10:00 positions on a clock, each line having 4 or maybe 5 lights in a straight row extending out from its center. I couldn’t see any other shape due to the dark sky. Both objects were of the exact same design and the lights did blink. There was no noise that I could hear. They proceeded south then arched toward the west. I did not see them increase speed or slow down when they were visible to me. There is an airport in Rockford and we normally do hear airplanes overhead as well as helicopters, but these objects were large and unlike any airplane lights or helicopter lights I have ever seen. They were in the sky much lower to the ground than any plane or helicopter I have seen fly overhead. My husband was sleeping and I did not wake him, so I was the only one that I know of that witnessed them. It would have taken at least the size of a fifty cent piece to have covered one of them from my view. They both appeared to be the same size. I do not drink alcohol at all and am not taking prescription medications. I am a retired registered nurse. I do wear glasses with a very slight correction for distance and had them on during this sighting. I did try to take a video of the lights, but only had my mobile phone camera, so it didn’t turn out well at all. It appears in the video as a sphere of light with no spokes showing in the picture. I also took it through the window, which has a screen so all I can see if a bright round sphere of light with screen wire squares dancing about in the video. The video was time stamped at 11:57pm and is 15 seconds long. Unfortunately I couldn’t hold it perfectly still so the light’s movement is probably not accurate as to its actual movement through the sky. We had the house alarm set, so I didn’t open the back door to step outside for a better video. This morning I did describe what I saw to my husband and he viewed the video. He checked our outdoor security camera and backed it up to 11:45 – midnight. At 11:53 it did pick up a bright light in the north eastern direction that was moving south seen through the trees.

Witnessed on April 8, 2019 at about 9:45pm. I was sitting outside looking up at the sky when I noticed what I assumed was a satellite traveling along the sky, headed from Northwest to Southeast or so. I looked away for a moment and lost sight of it upon looking back up. I began searching the sky in that area to see if I could catch it again, but instead I saw another one coming from where the previous one had just come. I watched that one for a moment and after traveling along for maybe about 10 seconds (toward whatever dipper constellation that’s currently above my neighborhood actually) it seemed to just sort of vanish, despite there being no cloud cover. I then realized that there was another one coming from the same area with yet another following behind it. These were all traveling at the same rate of speed, which would be extremely fast for how far away they were, and were equally spaced apart. I witnessed up to three at the same time. They all traveled the same path and disappeared in the same general area. I watched this happen continuously for at least five minutes and, while I didn’t count them, there would have been 10 or more that I saw. I then saw three more come from further south, then travel toward where the others had headed and disappear in the same general area. There were no flashing or colored lights that I saw on any of them, nor did I see any evidence of exhaust, smoke or contrails behind any of them. There were also no accompanying noises. I tried to capture video, however my phone was unable to detect the objects. I am a 30 year old caucasian female and was not under the influence of any drugs, alcohol or substances otherwise at the time of my observation. I live in a residential neighborhood that is two miles south of Lake Ontario and have never witnessed anything like this before.

Multiple lights moving in same path and same speed. It is much faster than airplane. Each light was going from west to east and they were moving in same distance apart. The light appeared one by one constantly and disappeared. When we watch one light is almost gone in certain spot, another light appeared and going same path and disappeared at same spot.

Ironwood, MI
I was at the dog park in Ironwood, Michigan. I was just watching the stars and two lights catch my eye in the east, not too long before the moon came up. At first it appears as if two flying lights are circling one another in really bizarre ways, both going at the same speed, rising and falling in an oval pattern for the majority, sometimes speeding up a little. After a while I noticed there was a pattern, and I think what I was seeing was one very large craft with two lights on each side of it, and it was spinning and rotating. It was very high up in the sky, so high that the lights were so dim my camera wouldn't catch it, but if it was one large object, it must have been enormous. It looked quite abnormal. Watching it actually made me a little dizzy. I couldn't really say how high up it was, but it seemed very high up and the craft VERY large. I was watching it for several minutes, maybe 5-10 minutes, before it slowed down and then made a dead stop, and hoovered in the air in the same spot for the remaining time I was at the park, at least 20 more minutes, and just appeared to be two stars, one brighter one on the left and a dimmer one on the lower right. I plan to return to the same spot tomorrow night with a better camera and see if those two "stars" are still there.

my girlfriend and I were out back of the property we live on looking up at the sky. i noticed a dim light no different from a distant star travelling a lot faster than a plane across the sky towards the moonlight just off course of the moon, with another one travelling in the exact same line but miles away from the first, they both seemed to disappear into the moonlight. not 5 seconds later, three more followed in the same line in a very large triangle formation followed by a single one that went from the horizon upwards into the darkness, instead of across the sky like the others. the first five moved at a similar rate of speed, whereas the last moving from the horizon upward moved slightly quicker. neither of the objects made a noise, or left a trail.

Boca Raton, FL
On the First night of the new Super moon we were getting ready to photograph the moon and before we could set up the camera we both saw a Blue Green Oval light with a dome on top streak across the sky. The event duration was too fast to get the camera on it in time to photograph it. The light varied in intensity and color. The light emitted orange sparks behind it but no smoke or sound. Other people reported similar sightings in the night in question and at similar times.

Seattle, WA
While outside on a clear night sky, we witnessed star like lights moving from south west to north west, in a perfect line, equally distanced from each other, moving at a fast pace. No blinking. They all started to fade away at some point. We couldn’t believe how many there were. Can satellites do that?

Holualoa, HI
Saw yellow light getting brighter through window in the sky. Went outside and told family to come see. My girlfriend said she saw hints of green, but I did not. When she went to get jacket, the glowing slowly fainted to nothing. Honestly, seemed like something burning in the atmosphere or a slowly moving, floating aircraft that suddenly flew off into distance .

This event has been happening for the last 8 months randomly at the same spot at the sky a bright light appears 5 times bigger than northern star. And for about 40 mins and sometimes 2 hrs makes turns and moves that are very fast but not very far from original spot. It is too far out to be a plane and too bright out to be a satellite and it moves.

I have seen strange lights in the sky many times before and not been able to explain it, but this one stood out to me and struck a chord for some reason. I am writing this 4 days after the initial sighting, because soon after something else unsettling happened to me. I’m not sure where to write this story for you, or if I should include it. Because it may seem a little crazy or maybe even like nothing big at all,

Black Hawk, CO
The light sat just above the mountains. Initially thought of as the shine of a planet however the light dimmed to a small dot. It stayed in place then wavered. After this action it was thought to be a helicopter or a plane. However, not additional colored flashing lights, like a plane were visible. After it had dimmed and wavered it had started to shine again. This shine wasn’t as bright but it was brighter than it was after it dimmed. Then it disappeared amongst the night sky.

Jonesboro, AR
04/05/20 20:30 hours, just after dark, clear sky. I went outside to look for our cat and looked up to see a very bright white light, about as high as a jet moving west to east. I saw no other lights except a singular bright white light. About 3/4 the way across the sky the light abruptly turned off. The light did not flash or change speed or direction. At first I thought it was the space station passing over, it occured to me that the space station isnt that bright. It moved about as fast as a jet, it was high as a jet. A minute later I did see a jet fly south/north. The red lights were clearly visible, I could even see the engines glowing. I mentioned this because I know a jet when I see one.

Went outside to see why and saw a red and blue rhythmically flashing light in the southern sky. It appeared to be stationary for a second, then it plummeted downwards at an abnormally high rate of speed then disappeared. Immediately after it disappeared the dog stopped barking and then I realized my entire body was covered in goose bumps. Never had anything like this happen before.

Sayville, NY
Noticed bright light during cloudy night. Watched it because it didn't seem like a star, too bright. After being stationery around 15 minutes it started to move quickly, horizontally a good distance and stopped. Then turned, very reflective, and went back to original stationery location. After another 15 minutes it took off to our south and disappeared.

Green, red and flashing white light like an airplane but brighter hovering over North Seattle like a drone at first then suddenly flew west in a straight line faster than an airplane. I was able to record the object with my phone for about 30 seconds.

At approximately 23:30 on 4/4/20, I proceeded outside to walk my two dogs. While out in the yard, facing East, I noticed a very bright Orange/Red glowing object in the sky, traveling North to South. I observed the Light for a moment before I realized that it was NOT a Plane or Helicopter. I hooked my dog to the gate of my fence and went back into the house to retrieve my Wife to both verify what I was observing and to allow her to observe something I felt was highly unusual..

Hyrum, UT
A friend of mine was sitting in his hot tub and texted me saying that there was a UFO in the eastern sky above the Wellsville mountain range. I went to my window and I saw a bright, white capsular shaped light that had bluish colored trailing tail lights. It was at least 3 or 4 times brighter and larger than any other light in the sky. It was moving from south to north directly above the Wellsvilles. It was slowly moving north and then stopped and then after a few seconds moved in a downward direction for a few seconds, stopped again for a few seconds and then started moving north again. I ran to get my wife to see it and when we got back to the window it had stopped in the sky at the north end of the mountain range. The shape had changed to a very, very large twinkling bright white star-like shape. It was still by far the brightest light in the sky. We sat at watched it for 20 minutes and during that time the light started to very slowly move north and the! light started to dim until it disappeared. My dog was sitting on the couch staring directly at the light the entire time we were. We were able to look at it through binoculars and there were purple, green, blue and red lights that were twinkling at the edges of the bright white light. My friend that watched it from about 10 miles west of us, which puts him at the base of the Wellsville mountain range, said that he observed 5 lights in a circle that morphed into 3 lights in a triangle then finally the 3 lights converged into one bright light.

When taking trash out, I looked up and observed the 2 lights moving through the sky, no indication of them emitting any sound. Caught them both on cell phone video camera.
