I was in are back yard at about 9PM moving a bicycle back to our storage room off the garage. It’s a nice dark spot and looking up I noticed I could see the stars really well and the moon was also almost directly overhead. So looking up at the moon and also scanning the western sky just for the heck of it- I happened to see what I at first thought was a passenger plane. I watched it for a second and thought it was interesting because I could not distinguish any flashing from the aviation lights. It also seemed to be travelling about double speed from a standard plane at cruising altitude. Even with that I just kept looking around at the stars and didn’t really think anything was that abnormal. Then, I noticed another one following the first light – in the exact same path and exact same speed. There was a good distance between them. At this point I had been staring up approximately 30 seconds. By the time the first light went out of view to my left (behind some large ! trees in our yard) I could see a third light coming into view from my right. Same path- same speed- same distance apart- same light brightness (about the same brightness as a medium star). So in my viewing field of the sky, I could see 3 of these lights at one time…..like a train here came two more and decided to run in the house to get the wife . She came out and was able to see the last 3 as the came by. The last one we watched as it was almost out of view to our left, my wife said it just vanished. I myself did not see it go out as I was looking to see if there were more coming. I could have sworn I saw a steak of light from that direction also. It was a super calm night – no jet noise could be heard. Maybe satellites? I don’t really think so, never seen any in train formation like that before.

Spokane, WA

Went outside for a cigar on my patio. Looked up at the sky to see the stars. Saw two orange lights I know we're not stars hovering in place. Then both lights took off in an upward direction, then sharply turned away from each each other and disappeared.

Las Vegas, NV

DATE: 4/1/2020 LOCATION: NW Las Vegas, NV TIME: 9:30 pm – 10:15 pm On this night, it was very windy here in Las Vegas. At, or around 9:30 p.m. this evening, I was taking my dog out, as we normally do each night before bed. The sky was clear, the wind gusting heavy at times. I glanced around the clear sky, taking note of the “Little Dipper” and “Orion” constellations above me. It was at this time that I noticed a very bright light in the sky, just to the west of “Orion’s belt.” At first, I thought it may be the lights of an approaching plane, however the only sound that could be heard was the blowing wind. There were several factors that kept me focused on this particular subject – First, it was the single brightest object in the night sky, including the moon. Second, to the naked eye, there appeared to be a “swirling” of lights, flashing at times with a Blue tint at the outer edges. Third, the subject did not appear to be moving, but continually would alternate between bright flashes then dim, then flash, repeating for several minutes. After watching this display for several minutes, I knew that what I was looking at was not a plane, not a helicopter, not a weather balloon. It was not a planet, as I could also see “Venus” in the Western sky, but this object was significantly brighter and much, much closer and lower in the sky. I grabbed my cell phone and proceeded to record several video clips, (in total, over10 mins) in which the bright light continues to flash and dim the “light display” for lack of a better term. My girlfriend, who also lives with me, came into the yard at this point and also noticed the “object.” She instantly recognized the “light display” and noted that there were no sounds, other than the wind. We both continued to watch and record the object. At approximately 10 pm, I went inside and placed my cell phone on the charger as the battery was low. I returned to the backyard (noting the time on the stove before I stepped out) and used my gf’s phone to record another video. It was at this time that I noted the object was now much lower on the horizon line and appeared to be moving further away to the general West/NorthWest. I decided to get into my car and see if I could follow or track the object somehow. I proceeded North on El Capitan Way for 2 blocks, then turned West onto Buckskin Ave and continued West until the intersection of Buckskin Ave and N. Grand Canyon Dr, where I turned right (North) and continued until the intersection of W. Gowan Rd where in the literal “blink” of an eye, the object was gone. I returned home and noted the time was 10:20 pm. I decided to review the video footage we had both captured on our cell phones and was shocked to see what we were looking at. I have never had a personal experience with “U.F.O.” before today, but after seeing this footage I believe the anomaly I have captured warrants further discussion/review with people who have more familiarity with this subject matter. I look forward to speaking further with someone from your organization.

Port Republic, MD

in southern MD. Around 8:40 pm on a very clear night, I saw about 5 maybe more lights in sky about northwest. At first they were very still in a line start near land going upward. I thought they were stars and thought it was strange that I never saw them there before. Then they in unison moved slowly upward, into middle of sky then spread out. Some say satellites, I’m not sure what it was.

Anderson, SC

2 lights appeared out of nowhere just down and to the left of the moon. They got closer together after a few minutes. But when we first noticed them we noticed a faint lime of light between them like it was connecting them.

Center Conway, NH

I saw a Facebook post about lights in the sky in Tamworth, Ossipee, and North Conway at about 2230. I went outside and looked around. I saw a strangely bright , flickering light. I looked at a star guide app and thought it might be Betelgeuse. 2 minutes later I look back and it’s gone. Found it again and followed it for the next 20-30 minutes. Bright, flickering, with reds. Would be really bright and then dim to nothing. When it would come back it would be in a different location. Not by much but enough to notice. When i first saw it, it was at approximately 5,000-10000 ft. When I lost sight of it from my house it had sank approx. 3-4000ft. In relation to horizon line. Was not moving at all like a plane. Way too high for a small drone. Multiple sightings from cross towns. Also I’m sober. Don’t do drugs.

Dracut, MA

Watched a UFO in the night sky and took video. It was one object that went back and forth and up and down. It was white with a haze around it.

Framingham, MA

The light appeared to be hovering in the sky. Seemed to be in one place too long and too bright to be a plane. Possibly a helicopter yet there was no flashing lights seen around it. It appeared in the north west sky not too high off the horizon. At first I thought it was the ISS. But a Google search confirms the ISS was south of the equator near Africa. As I went closer to window it appeared to be making small circles in the sky. It then slowly moved down toward the northern horizon and fell below the trees.

Baldwin, MO

There were lights that looked like stars. Some moving in formation and some more erratically. They would appear in the south west sky and move north east. 3 lights were stationary in the southern sky during the entire time from what I could see. Those three were lined up in a straight horizontal line. The lights were static and did not blink. These objects moved at different speeds and could move very fast. It was amazing!

Shawinigan (Canada), QC · Canada

Fixed light flying objects moving from southwest to northeast at more than 3500 feet altitude, in a straight line, with an interval of 10 seconds. They all appear at the same point in the sky, cleared 90% with some little clouds in dispersion, and after moving in a straight line exactly one behind another, they disappear at the same point. Objects do not produce noise or flashing lights during their pathway, only move silently with a speed estimated at 450 km/hr. The duration of the displacement between the beginning of the sighting and its disappearance is 30 seconds for each of them, with up to three of them being observed in a straight line, following the same direction.

Portland, ME

I saw a bright white light approaching west to east that disappeared after a few seconds. This happened 3 times in roughly 10 minutes. I couldn't see a craft and there was no sound. A fourth light I was able to see with binoculars. Looked like satellite

Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

Strange lights in a line, as many as seven at a time and as few as one. All hovered in a straight line, did not move up/down/left/right. Lights flickered and went out and came back. Lasted approximately 30 mins.

Plymouth, NH

First very bright and low light moving in a swooping motion. Then another smaller object came straight toward it, moved in a quarter circular motion above it. Next the second one moved straight up then disappeared momentarily and re appears far to the left. The whole time the first light is rapidly moving away still at a very low to ground height.recorded the entire thing.

Seward, AK

2 people pulled over on Nash road, noticed an object straight ahead, They thought it might have been a drone. The object was flashing colored lights, with a steady bright white light beaming out from it. The female witness called a friend who lived down the road to see if she was flying her drone, the witnesses friend looked outside and saw the object and noticed that there were three others in the sky further away forming a square pattern, one object on each corner. She did her best to record it and we have video. The objects were in the sky for several hours. later that night the two friends met up with another friend who mentioned seeing the same things in the sky. He had witnessed the objects taking off one by one moving very fast across the sky. Many brightly lit fast-moving unidentified flying object have been observed in the Seward night sky for the past few months. The frequency is increasing with sightings. There is a lot of activity going on in the sky at night and a few of us have decided to pay more attention and document these sightings to the best of our ability, but we don’t have strong enough cameras or telescopes, we are attempting to obtain. The next morning the original witness got a call from her boyfriend who is staying out at a lodge on Resurrection Bay, he said he saw his first UFO sighting the night before and he described the exact same thing that we had all seen. He was about 20 miles away from the original siding on Nash Road, and he stated that when he saw these objects in the skyHis hair stood up, and he knew that he had seen a real UFO It would be worth serious scientific examination from professionals and the sightings are becoming frequent enough to almost guarantee a sighting if someone were to come here to do research...

Leesburg, FL

At 2115 hrs on 30 April 2020, I went outside to walk the dog and looked up to see seven lights travelling West to East (approximately) over Leesburg, Florida. In the space of a minute they faded from sight to the East, in procession. There may have been more before I looked up, as the farthermost light to the East was quick to disappear. The first six lights were in a line, the last was initially slightly behind and to one side, but by the time they disappeared it had caught up with the last light in line. Their brightness was less than Venus but probably slightly brighter than Sirius. It was not possible to assess the height or size of the UFOs

Whiteford, MD

There was a single file row of something flying east. The objects were spaced evenly apart. They were observable only by a very dim small light. They were so dim you can only see 6 at any one time with a naked eye. They continued to fly across the sky for at least 15 minutes. I've never seen a plane fly that high heading east this close to the east coast. These things made ZERO noise. The night was black, clear, cloudless, lights were all turned off so we could see the things. The two people who saw the things were both sober, wife is a doctor, husband has his master's degree .

Regina (Canada), SK · Canada

We counted 45 - 50 lights coming from the west towards northeast flying overhead one after another sometimes 4 or 5 in a row seemed to be in a straight line to start then three lights in triangle formation in and out of sight like they went up got dime then came back down and got bright they were closer to the moon and between the moon and the north star. They just kept coming non stop. Then a bright light came with three other smaller light and seemed to fly in circles in sky for two minutes. Then flew over our heads and disappeared northeast. We have never seen anything like this before it was amazing. They were flying right over our heads. We called our son in the northwest end of the city and they ran outside and saw them as well. They had a better look at them because fewer street lights. It was amazing! a string of lights flying fast and high. ((ADDENDUM FROM WITNESS)) Adding to my report from regina saskatchewan earlier tonight. What we saw was not skylink the lights were way farther apart and then the skylink lights. And some did not fly in straight line and close together like pics i see online of skylink. I have found nothing online for pucs that would explain what we all saw.

Denver, CO

went outside to smoke a cigarette and was looking at sky and we saw a singular star like object moving through sky (I have seen the starlink satellites before) then maybe like 30 seconds after it passed through the sky and disappeared another one came but it was moving in a different direction. This happened a few times but every time the star like object was taking a different path.

Davidsville, PA

Sunday March 29, 2020 at just around 10:00 P.M. I saw two star-like objects moving quickly and erratically around the sky. One of these objects seemed to be chasing the other one through the sky, just slightly behind it. They looked just a tad dimmer than the stars around them, and there was no blinking emitting from them like there is on a plane or satellite. They were so dim, they would occasionally fade out of my sight and then reappear. They were moving in no set pattern, and they would change direction randomly. I followed them for a span of about five minutes, where they then passed underneath the handle of the Big Dipper and then disappeared. I’ve seen this same exact thing around four other times: two star-like objects seemingly chasing each other randomly in the sky before disappearing. I’m an astrophotographer, so I am always out under the night sky and observing the stars very closely. I know when I see things that are planes, drones, helicopters, or satellites. This recurring instance is not comprised of any of these. I’m very familiar with the night sky, and this is something that I genuinely cannot wrap my head around.

Lights following each other one after the other same distance apart very slowly with no sound. Eight in total.

Noblesville, IN

I saw what I initially thought was a satellite traveling through the sky - it was a light almost like a star. It wasn't an airplane - it didn't have any flashing lights, there was no sound and it was much higher than an airplane. As I watched it travel for about 20 seconds, it suddenly disappeared. I then looked around and saw a series of exactly the same star like lights traveling in the exact same path from Northwest to Southeast. There were approximately 5 of them, traveling in the same path, the same distance behind the next one and each of them disappeared as they reached the same location in the sky. The entire process lasted approximately 1-2 minutes. They must have been traveling extremely fast - much faster than an airplane would travel to cover as much distance as they were covering in that amount of time.
