Cheyenne, WY
A family member in town called me, and myself and my mom went out to look. I also called my sister and her 3 kids to look. They were all lights, similar in size and brightness to stars. All started in the southwest and headed exactly straight northeast. No blinking, no sound, too high for drones, too fast for helicopters or satellites. Some were in a horizontal row of two or three moving in unison. Others flowed very closely behind others. Not anything I can explain.

Wheatland, WY
Witnessed lights traveling from SW to NE on same trajectory. Lights were spaced out to where we could see several at a time, moving faster than plane in sky. No flashing lights. Seemed to be self lit. Did not dim as satellites do as they move across the night sky. 10+ objects. We quit watching figuring they were SpaceX satellites. ???

My wife and I were out walking the dog. I was looking at the little dipper and noticed two lights moving. They kept the same distance apart, one behind the other. It was hard to tell how far apart they were as I assume they were thousands of feet above the ground, but I’ll guess no more than a couple of miles. I didn’t see any flashing lights so I’m guessing it wasn’t commercial aircraft. Each was a single steady light. They were moving eastward or northeastward. I assume military aircraft or satellite.

One of my friends was smoking a cig outside and he came and got 3 of us and we looked up and we saw lights going in different directions it’s cloudy too but we can tell by the way they were moving and the direction the stars were going in say 2 of them chasing each other in different formations

Moving from the southwest sky to the east. More than 40 jets(?) over about half an hour spaced fairly evenly flew overhead. We could see one after another in the same trajectory. There were maybe 4 or 5 flying parallel to the the 40 interspersed over the event length.

Fort Smith, AR
Stream of lights in a straight line moving South to North moving quickly. Too many to count. Covered a large amount of expanse in the sky. From looking online, it may have been a satellite link, but was quite exciting as I have never seen anything like it in my life.

My boyfriend went to take out the trash and said he called me to come outside because he said he saw something in the sky. I wanted to come take a look... Not sure what exactly he saw, but while sky watching a light appeared out of no where. If you were facing Venus (west) The light appeared underneath it to the left. The light looked like it could be a star or even a satelite if you have ever seen one moving. But it definitely wasn't. The movement was not like a satellite, where as a satellite would move slow and in pre programmed line, already knowing the direction. This light was slow, but not like a satellite. This was faster and was moving up then to the left ( south/south east ) moving with an intelligence, not just drifting or shooting through the air. It then disappeared in thin air, faded away. No cloud cover either.The same thing happened again about 10 minutes later, but was moving to the right. If you were looking at Venus, facing west, the next ! one appeared out of no where underneath Venus to the left again, and made it's way to the right ( north ) the tunred and went more diagonally up, then dissolved.

My father was standing outside of the garage and noticed four lights traveling the exact same speed going on the exact same path. He ran to the backyard to show me, but I was in my room. He found me and we hurried outside to see nothing. He told me what he had seen and less than moments later a path of lights, way too high too be planes, which were a faint gray-blue color follow one another into the sky above us. The convoy lasted for about ten minutes. I used binoculars to observe some of the lights and while watching closely, one shot another light out of the side of it towards the east at the same speed the convoy was heading southeast.

Waldport, OR
A group of witnesses was already gathered, looking up at a formation of 40 lights streaming east when my son and I arrived on a mountain-top 7 miles east up the Alsea River from Waldport, Oregon. We watched for 15 minutes. The velocity of motion was pulsing or wavelike. When a light was directly above, there was a burst of orange and multi-colored light. It looked like one went up, out of the atmosphere. My 18 year old son noticed two lights traveling side-by-side. The next day, we learned that a maintenance worker at a coastal hotel in Newport, Oregon, also counted 50 lights.

Kiefer, OK
We saw one light headed SSE thinking it was a satellite but then we saw another one as if following it in a line thinking that was odd to see two satellites. We noticed a larger light moving E which appeared closer. But then only to our astonishment we realized there were two more lights following in the same path. They all seemed spaced about ten inches by using our fingers as a guide. When the skies cleared of the five moving objects and no planes flying over since we are in the flight path to the Tulsa Airport and that smaller Jones Riverside Airport, the neighborhood owls started chattering close by and one swooped down by the power lines over head. I started typing this entry as my husband went back outside saying to come to. We saw several what we would normally think of as satellites one here, one there, but again in such a short time about thirty minutes no more than 45 minutes that we had seen a total of ten lights...satellites?... One made me think of the flares the satellites released as they took pictures but thought that they were being replaced, no longer used. It moved from the SW sky flashing twice moving further unseen to the S flashing again and again further SSE flashing three more times and not seen again as my husband aimed his flashlight to acknowledge he saw the last flash I had seen. But the most surprising thing was when he gasped at seeing a triangle shape before going down behind the tree line behind our house. We heard no sounds. We discussed geese but they don’t generally fly this time of night and have always made sounds when in flight. He said that he saw it turn on its side and appeared like a boomerang with a haze around it. I believe all the neighborhood dogs outside were barking at that moment. We watch the skies every night we can see but never have we seen eleven objects in such a short period of time no more than an hour. I came back in to finish typing at 9:45pm. This was an exciting night. Bringing about several questions. Satellites? Secret government? UFOs?

March 24, 2020 To: National UFO Reporting Center Subj: String Of White Lights Seen on March 24, 2020 Not sure to whom this should be reported. My wife and I were having coffee outside this morning and at approximately 05:45 AM we observed a string of bright white lights that materialized out of the southwest. We were facing due west and the lights appeared to our left at about 45 degrees above the horizon. There were probably between 30-50 lights in a rough line. They disappeared behind our roof heading northeast.

Phoenix, AZ
North eastern sky near 7th street and loop 101 I saw and recorded 2-3 what looked like stars initially, appear and then disappear. It would start as one, then 1 or 2 more would appear. It would travel a distance and them disappear after about 3-5 seconds. This happened about 6 or 7 times.

My 2 kids and they're 2 friends were having a fire outside of my house when they called in to us that they were seeing crazy lights in the sky. Once i got outside they had already reported seeing at least 10 of them go by then they pointed them out to me. There where lights coming across the sky in perfect formation at the exact same distance apart heading at an upward angle at the same speed. They would glow bright then dim in the same exact spot passing by the tree in my front yard then they would reach a point past my house at a specific height then dissapear or fade away in the exact same location. This was so odd to me we live in a high air traffic area I've sit outside and watched every kind of plane and helicopter go past my property this was definitely neither. There were 40 to 50 of these they were traveling so perfectly spaced and at the same angle you would think it would be one unbelievably huge craft but u could see the sky inbetween these light! s. Also at the time these lights went be we seen no other aircrafts in the sky till about 5 minutes after it was over then there were several planes going by lije usual. If anyone else has seen this phenomenon i would love to know.

One light moving across the sky. Then another one started behind it a ways. Then a third spaced exactly the same distance started behind it. They kept traveling across the sky as the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and then 8th started all spaced evenly. The 8th one disappeared and shortly there after they all disappeared. Too far up to record. We tried.

A row of white lights flying in a line and then disappearing. Soon after returning and going many different directions much higher and harder to see. Also, seen by my sister and brother in law in Lexington at the same time.

I witnessed a group of objects moving Southeast on the same flight path, perfectly spaced and moving at the same speed. They looked like stars or satellites.I counted approximately 16 before I watched the last one disappear from the horizon.

I was laying in bed looking out my window which faces west towards Mt. Bachelor and Venus -- as it was setting. I was admiring the brightness of Venus and then a bright flash caught my eye. I noticed it again ( in the same spot ) thinking it was a plain. Then I didn't see it again for about 4 seconds. Then I saw it appear again -- oddly a little be higher up then where it was before and I was waiting for it to appear horizontally like a plane light. Over the course of about 10 seconds the light gradually grew fainter as it flashed moving up -- by this time it was above Venus. When originally, it was far to the right of it. The light then vanished.

I noticed what I thought was a constellation in the SE sky and kept staring at it because although it kind of.looked like a dipper it had way too many visible stars. All of a sudden the lights converged into a line and went north for a few seconds and disappeared. I would've thought it was starlink satellites except that they started out stationary and very scattered.

While sitting on our pool deck enjoying a cigar, I spotted a string of lights flying across the sky. The lights were roughly paired up and moving in a straight line, SW toward NE. They moved at an even pace and took approx. 1 minute to cross the entire sky there had to be at least 3 dozen pairs of lights .. It looked like a convoy in the sky. The lights looked like they where at a very high altitude .. no aircraft noise my wife came out to witness the same event..

There was a a very bright light brighter than any I have ever seen at nite and it oscillated kind of Star like but more compass like and it was at the peak of the island where no homes are or even if someone could get to they could not bring a light that big or bright up there ....the light shone brightly but did not move...I noticed this light because I heard a generator sound unlike any sound I have heard before ..,not a plane sound or a copter sound but a deep hum that would have to come from a very large power source and the him was a thousand feet high ....I have never seen that light or heard that hum in 2 years living there and then I heard and saw at the same time ....I went to bed and when I woke up I saw a vet very large chem trail from the place I had seen the light going along the sound along the water line jutting past Vancouver towards Washington ...the wind will take the trail inland....I thought very odd to see that during this corona virus ! situation ....and I learned that the virus stays in the air for a very long time

West Jordan, UT
My wife and I were out on our apartment porch, 3rd story so good view of the Western sky. I was mid way through a cigarette and looked out at the sky when I noticed a large white light in the sky. Brighter than the lights on the radio towers on the neighboring mountain skyline. The light looked like an incoming 747, but the light stayed in the same spot for 30 min. Mid way through it began slightly changing color. From Green to red to blue, and it would dim or brighten as well. At about 11:10, it vanished from view. It was in the Western salt lake valley sky, and was definitely not on the mountains. It appeared to be over Tooele
