My best description is "The Phoenix lights" but a lot more. I recorded the event over "Rupert Lake" in North Western Kalamazoo County. Unfortunately as my fiance and myself saw the lights in great white light detail one after the other at least 3 others saw when you hear us trying to validate what was being seen by saying pardon us but are you seeing this. I even heard the immediate reaction of it's the aliens. I have the roughly 3 minutes video that I hope in the hands of professionals can be fixed to see clearly what we did. You are probably asking why only a few minutes of footage and the reason is we didn't have phones on us in the lake so I dashed through the lot to retrieve my phone to be honest I didn't want to miss a sec but we knew it was important that we document it. Please tell me where to send it.

My husband and I were having a fire and small lights seemed to be evenly spaced out. And they just kept coming at the same speed for 5-10 mins. I did get a short video as well. At first I thought it was a couple of planes flying too close, but it was not!

Objects going in formation. At first we thought planes but then realized some were going too close to each other. They were in a perfect line about 15 of them. About 3 came the opposite way. We saw a shooting star shortly after so could have been a shower but found weird how perfect in a line they were.

We were outside to observe the ISS flying overhead flying from the NNW to the North and did observe it successfully. We then looked south towards the moon and observed approximately 50 to 60 lighted objects flying in a row, from the direction of the moon towards the NE. They were all moving at approximately the speed and had similar spacing, but not completely equally spaced.

While watering the lawn facing north I observed a long rectangular cluster of different sized orangish orb shapes above my neighbors house.the arrangement of the individual orbs had no real pattern or structure And the sizes were varied but all the same color. It moved together like one object but clearly was comprised of several distinctly seperate orbs.i ran inside to get my phone to take a picture and one by one they disappeared. There are no clouds in the sky. I was a little scared so I called a friend, and while on the phone , in the same area of the sky I saw a line of about 6 small bluish lights following each other. I thought that the small ones could be starling as it looked similar but the website says that starlink is not visible in my location for the next 5 days. When the orbs were disappearing it was as if they were passing behind a wall that wasn’t there, moving forward and just gone.. I don’t know how else to describe it.

U.F.O. Sighting, no, not “little green men” but something odd last night. It was up in the sky & I can't Identify it, so its a “UFO”, but NOT a “flying saucer” & yes there is another witness. I don't know for sure what it was but I assume it was one of Musk's "Starlink" satellite trains? But there are significant differences from other images I've seen of them. Last night Western MD (39°38′34″N 77°43′12″W) about 9:30PM a string of 15~20, or so VERY bright white lights in the sky to the South West. (They were so bright they got my attention immediately) Roughly 45° elevation, heading vaguely North. It was a little patchy cloud so they seemed to be blinking on & off, but they were in a crescent shape, not a line like I've seen images of. The whole thing subtended only about 4 or 5°. Checking various tables the closest contender would be Starlink 24, or 27, but 5 ° subtention, 45° elevation doesn't match. Any thoughts or ideas?

I was on my back porch last night around 10:00 pm, These lights were in a v shape formation but there was maybe 4 on one side and 8 on the other. No sound at all, they just moved across the sky in a perfect formation.

Extremely large line of lights moving in formation (maybe two rows one slightly brighter then the other), silent and moving at the speed of a low flying aircraft. I am a pilot, for something to appear that large it would need to be close. This is what got my attention. It floated straight and went behind a taller tree along the tree line but did not appear on the other side. The trajectory would have made it vístanle as it passed by but we lost sight then. I couldn’t believe what I was looking at. Lights not extremely bright about the amount of a average star. Gave me the chills I’ve never seen anything I couldn’t somewhat explain. Very interested to see if anyone else caught a glimpse.

La grande, OR
I was hanging out smoking a cigarette in my car with my wife. I started looking at the stars because I noticed that they were alot more vivid then usuall. I then noticed what looked like 5-9 smaller yet distinctly brighter what I thought were stars all in a straight line. I watched for a moment and noticed that they were moving in a diagonal yet straight line all at once. At which point I asked my wife if she noticed It to and she laughed but said she had. It started getting a little brighter and started shrinking and the was gone. I've seen plenty of satellites and government and civilian aircraft and nothing can bend the laws of physics and move like that. Which leads to the only rational option would be extra demential beings

I just returned from walking my dog when I turned to the NW and saw what I thought were 3 stars, but then noticed one was moving, then noticed all 3 were actually moving...I watched as more and more moved into my view from behind the trees before disappearing behind the trees on the other side...I watched for about a minute, of coarse thinking I was nuts, but then called out my 20 year daughter who also saw them...We then watched for about 2 more minutes before the stopped...We tried to video them but the lights were too far to catch on video...I have the videos but nothing can be seen...The were moving in a straight line, one after the other, but not in uniform distance from each other...Some were closer to each other, some further...Does anything happen with this report? Thanks!

Myself and my wife were taking a nighttime stroll. She directs my attention to an unusual formation or constellation of stars. I looked up in the direction which was north on my compass. There were about 9 stars very far away appearing to be like distant stars but they were in a perfect line. Then we realized they were moving. Almost too fast to be normal. A plane doesn’t travel across sky that far at that speed. They also were moving out of site they were flying over head and the sky was perfectly clear so it’s unexplainable how they were flying out of view unless they were flying further in trajectory. Nighttime flights can’t be in a straight line which also makes me wonder if this was one object that was Massive.

As I was walking the dog, I looked up to follow the path of an airliner flying west. As the airplane crossed the sky, out of the corner of my eye I noticed starlike dots, flying rather close to each other and in a northwest direction. I could see 4 lights trailing each other. As the lead dot disappeared a new dot appeared at the end of the formation and this continued for about 4 minutes. There were no flashing lights, only starlike dots moving in order, over and over again until they finally stopped. I called my wife outside and she also saw what I saw. Then, nothing.

It was a clear sky and I looked out the window with my night vision to see stars and satellites more clearly. Through the scope I noticed multiple lights moving in formation. I look with my eyes and there are what seem to be 50-100 lights flying in a single file formation headed east. I was completely shocked. It almost looked like auto tracer rounds fired in the sky but the lights kept going and these lights were moving along a horizontal plane. I was able to take a picture where you can see the lights moving. I tried filming through my night vision scope but only got about a seconds’ worth of seeing the objects. I was clearly fumbling because of my disbelief. There were no sounds, no blinking lights, and no trails. They were moving very quickly up until I lost site of them because of a tree line blocking my view.

Noted a long string of lights roughly in line coming from the west and nearly over my house heading roughly south. Number of objects were more than 50. NO aircraft noises were heard. Too many for a squadron.

I was talking to my brother on my cell phone on my front porch with my wife. I looked up to the stars and off to the left I noticed dozens of lights moving rapidly in a straight line and disappearing at what seemed like the same fixed point in the sky. (I later told my wife I wonder if they were disappearing into an invisible or unseen "mothership") I told my wife and we both watched for a minute or so as I attempted to tell my brother what we were seeing. A moment later my wife went inside to tell our older son. They came out to watch the last dozen or so lights disappear at the same spot in the sky. All of the lights seemed to be the same brightness traveling in almost a straight line but not perfectly. The closest thing I could relate it to would be if a stationary aircraft were to shoot tracers in the sky at something else in the sky and the tracers burnt out at the exact location without fading out but instantly extinguishing at the same point! in the sky and the "tracers" did not fall due to gravity in fact they seemed to follow a very straight path. I have been in Marine Corps aviation for 20 years and have flown in large formations but never in a straight line like that. I was a crew chief on CH-46's and MV-22's and performed air to ground and air to air gunnery and we would never shoot air to air in any possibly populated area.

My wife and I and my mother-in-law were outside and noticed a string of lights not flashing, green and red, approximately 8 miles above the flight path to Oakland and San Jose which is only a 3 mile above sea level flight pattern. The array of lights, which I thought were drones, which were to high to be drones were in a close to pattern like formation. They flew in from the west, disappeared and then two minutes later showed up at a 90 degree angle turning to fly south.. My wife is already finding posts on Facebook about what we witnessed, it’s crazy.

We were at our cabin in the mountains and getting ready to leave. As we approached our car, I noticed in the northern sky, just above the tree line a string of lights flying in a straight line from West to East. They were evenly spaced and all going about the same speed. I would normally think it would be a satellite, but there were so many of them. This "parade" or formation of lights lasted for several minutes, I would say at least 3 minutes. They faded and gradually disappeared as they headed East. There had to be over 100 "lights". Eventually they stopped, but it was a very consistent formation, a straight line of lights all flying across the sky (not falling like a meteor, or space debris) They were too far away to see any shape or color Although I am somewhat skeptical of UFO's, I don't disbelieve. This is definitely the first time I have ever made any type of report. My background: I have a college education, am over 60 yrs old and do not drink alcohol or do drugs.

Marin, CA
A constant line of star like forms, moving on a single trajectory slowly along Marin headlands west to east at first in front of us. A few minutes elapsed then they returned flying from the same direction but more north westerly to the south easterly direction and this time more overhead. The lights were spaced at different intervals, some seemed to be catching up and varying ever so slightly in speed, some were flying closer together, some more spaced out.
