I was outside looking at the clear winter night sky, all the stars. Suddenly, I noticed a bright pinpoint of light moving across the sky, like a star that decided to move, only brighter. They had no flashing lights like our aircraft. Their flight path was unusual because air traffic in this area is always north-south, and these were moving southwest to northeast and quickly. They appeared in the sky near Orion (from my point of view) and vanished once they were across the sky between the handle of the Big Dipper and the horizon. As soon as the first one made it to that point, the next one came into view by Orion. They flew in succession like this, one after the other, until nine had passed by. This is the most I have seen during a sighting. Pretty amazing!

Spencer, IA
42 flying objects in an equally spaced pattern, flying SW to NE starting between Orion and Serious, flying approximately satellite height. No flashing colors or sound. White lights. Witnessed by 3 people. The observers were a farmer, his wife and grown son. The farmers was walking the dog and looked up and saw them. He summoned his wife and son to verify what he was seeing.

On 03/26/2020 at 8:20 PM I witnessed small lights that appeared to be coming from the same spot in the sky. The lights flew North/ East towards the Angeles Crest mountains at a very high speed and altitude. They were spaced about 6 to 8 seconds apart and continued to appear for a duration of roughly 5 minutes. The last 3 that appeared didn't fly straight with the others. The 2 before the last one stopped and spaced themselves while the last one appeared and flew a very tight J to gather with the other 2 lights to form a triangle. The lights hovered in that formation for about 3 seconds then separated back into a straight line and continued to follow the other lights.

I'm a licensed private pilot and an amateur astronomer/skywatcher with more than 30 years of observing experience. Around 8:15 pm PDT I witnessed a series of high altitude, non-flashing, non-colored lights passing in succession directly above my home. I called my son outside to observe the movement of the lights. We watched them move across the sky in a flowing sequence for more than 15 minutes. The lights looked like satellites, but appeared to move somewhat faster than satellites. The lights were bright and steady. The lights moved from northwest to northeast passing directly overhead. All were moving in the same general direction (from my zenith to the northeast). Some of the lights were single and spaced with other identical lights following about 20 to 30 degrees behind. Some lights appeared in pairs (about 3 degrees apart), as if in formation flight.

Sacramento, CA
A series of at least 18 light objects (I counted 18 but there may have been more before I noticed them) following each other in a straight line from southwest to northeast. They appeared at the same point, traveled directly overhead and then disappeared at the same point. I tracked the speed as 10 seconds from Orion’s belt to the next brightest star to the north east, each taking about 30 to 45 seconds to appear, travel across the sky and disappear. Twice there was another light object traveling at the same speed along the same trajectory but north of the long line of lights.

Redding, CA
Moving lights seemingly starting from Orion's belt, but coming from the South heading North. Some in groups of 3-4 at a time, some lingering, but there was at least 50-100 in a 30 min. duration.

Knoxville, TN
Red light traveling at high rate of speed from southern sky heading due north came to dead stop directly overhead hovering for approximately 30 seconds. The red light changed to blue and the object reversed direction back south again at a very high rate of speed. Approximately 5 minutes later I saw multiple red objects in a cluster moving erratic just above the southern skyline. After a few seconds the objects disappeared all at once.

Butler, PA
Southern Butler County PA approx. 0600, 3-26-20: saw 2 very high altitude lights close together in straight line moving very fast toward the east, far higher and faster than any terrestrial aircraft. More craft were immediately spotted traveling in same manner; straight line, very fast. A total of 37 of these craft were spotted, seemed to be originating in SSE area of the sky, 30 degrees south of the zenith, all extending toward the eastern horizon in a straight line. Many of these craft were separated by one adult finger width held at arm's length, some were 2, 3 & 4 finger widths apart yet all in a very straight line. No engine sounds or sonic booms were heard. Did I see a UFO? No, I saw 37.

I witnessed these aircraft flying straight line as fast as they would disappear more would appear counting 27 total. They were flying too close together to be our aircraft

3/26/2020 approximately 0555 I went to take the dogs out, looked up in the sky and thought "there's a plane" but there was a line of "white dots" crossing the sky from west to east, there were at least 50

Easton, CT
At approximately 5:55am EST this morning (3/26/20) I was exiting my house and looked up in the sky. Traveling from the SW to the NE in perfect formation, as if being pulled by a string, I saw over 30+ white lights in the sky moving at casual pace. I witnessed the 2nd craft in line pull next to the first the reverse back in formation. These were not satellites (too low but high enough in the sky). I DID NOT hear any noise coming from these objects. When it FINALLY got to the end, the last light (object) was slightly distanced from the rest of the lights. PLEASE tell me others in my area (EASTON, CT) saw this!!!

Grove City, OH
5 lights appeared traveling northeast,then another and anothe and another....they were on the same path. What was odd is that as the next light appeared it would catch up to the light in front of it. No aircraft would be able to do that in the speed it was done.

Pleasant Garden, NC
I noticed a light moving from my window and I started to watch it. I saw the object move in an up and down motion and occasionally side to side. I tried to get video and I did capture it although it was too far away to make it out clearly. Two airplanes flew by with red lights underneath and when they got near the area in the sky where this object was, the light dimmed and it stood completely still in the sky. No movement at all. Once the airplanes were out of sight, the craft began to move up and down again. The video does not capture what I saw with my naked eye but I definitely saw it.

Hanksville, UT
While camping on BLM land we witnessed about 20 moving lights in the sky, evenly spaced apart and moving in a slow straight line. Did not appear to be aircrafts or shooting stars. They looked like stars but were moving and not fading. This continued for about 15 minutes.

Since it's night I cannot determine distance. But they were moving fast across the sky at the same speed and spaced apart. They were two bright objects.

Houlton, ME
Very bright white/golden light with a faint twinkle that is larger than a star in the western sky. This light appears in my bedroom window about every other night. After a few hours I will notice that the light has disappeared. The light is in the same spot every time and doesn’t appear to move. It is so bright that it is still visible through the clouds.
