Appeleton, WI

6 star like objects moving in a straight line, they steadily increasing in height. The leading light dimmed and vanished, and all of the following lights did the same, one at a time until they all had disappeared.

Nuriootpa (Australia) · Australia

They appeared to move like satellites but a lot faster and they randomly flashed very brightly only once and dim back down to a low star light brightness. They seemed to be travelling like a fleet then disappear or blend into the stars.

Phoenix, AZ

The location of the sighting was a small enclosed backyard. It was dark with mid level cirrus clouds above. I noticed a light approaching then another. At first I thought it was a satellite then I saw there was one right after another. They were moving fast silently from southwest to northeast.

Wellston, OH

While driving south on SR 93 heading out of Wellston I noticed the bright star/planet in the sw sky. Just to the west of the star/planet there were 5 dim yellow lights hovering. It was a strange sight. I rolled down the side window to rule out any reflections and soon after the lights started disappearing. I looked for a place to pull over and stop but they were gone before I could get to a safe stopping place. The lights were arranged from left to right, two close together and three more further to the right. The three on the right disappeared first then the last two disappeared one then the other. I am familiar with aircraft both military and civilian there were no sounds or FAA lights to be seen.

Los Lunas, NM

I saw a chain of lights coming from the southwestern sky, the lights were flying to the north east direction in chain line formation. Very high up. I watched 32 or more fly by. No sound. They all seemed to disappear in the same area near a particular star to the north. I saw one of the lights do a single u-turn loop before disappearing. The next light in line did several loops extremely fast, then disappeared. I continued to watch after it seemed to be over and I saw a few more lights fly in individually about 2 minutes apart. As soon as one disappeared, another would come from the southwest then disappear where the others disappeared. I called 3 news stations. 2 news stations had received reports just like my experience. 1 news station acted like I was prank calling them.

Chandler, AZ

Looking overhead seen oval shaped lights as high as the stars. But what was startling that the lights were traveling northeast. Lasted for about 15 minutes and vanished..

Albuquerque, NM

We observed a row of lights in the shape of an arc in the western sky; just north of and slightly above Venus. The lights were as bright as and the size of an average star and slowly traveled in a parabolic arc, from about 45 degrees above the horizon to approximately 70-80 degrees, equidistant from each other. There were approximately 10-12 lights visibly moving and once they moved past the 80 degree mark, they gradually disappeared. There was no sound and no flashing as with aircraft. This event occurred with 3-4 groups of lights for about 10 minutes.

Along HWY 550 Near Chaco Canyon, NM

I was driving north on highway 550 just past Counsler NM and noticed what I thought to be 5 stars in a perfect line. As I stared trying to figure out the constellation the 5 stars appeared to be moving. I pulled over and confirmed they where moving. I started to count them and noticed it wasn’t just 5 stars/ lights it was several and they were all moving at a similar speed, in a perfect line upward. I watched the first light in line to see where it went and it eventually disappeared. Then the next and the next. I traced the line of lights back down and noticed they where coming from a larger light that remained still in the sky. I must have seen about 30 small lights depart from the big one. I was able to compare these lights with a few airplanes flying near by and they were noticeable different then the airplanes. Eventually the dissemination of small lights form the large light discontinued. I continued driving but kept an eye on the large light. I n! ever saw anymore smaller lights disseminate from it or saw any change in activity from the larger light. It just stayed still in the sky.

Bristolville, OH

I seen a light like a star but it moved slowly and quietly. Stopped in one spot for 15 or so minutes while a plane with red blinking light flew around it from distant as in observing it. I grabbed my dad and he wasn't to interested but my sister watched with me then it was gone, just vanished or turned lights off or something. Lately I have been feeling unusual. We have little video. You can barely see it but it is there.

Danielson, CT

As I was driving I noticed a beam of blue-green light ascending from the horizon to the sky. I am not sure how far away it was , but I did take a picture. I did not see the object itself, however, I felt it responsible to report it.

Wheat Ridge, CO

On 01/13/20 at 1942hrs flying south bound through wheat ridge Colorado towards Lakewood, a silent craft that appeared as only a light was being escorted by a stealth helicopter that I Believe to be the size of a Blackhawk but not nearly as noisy. Helicopter was following this light matching speed. As southbound towards Lakewood. Helicopter only had red lights emitting from it a large red right and a few small blinking red ones.

Palm Coast, FL

My husband and I went out back to sit on our dock and look at the fish in the canal behind our house. We have fish lights that are very bright, and can draw anyone’s attention. We suddenly saw a bright flash of light. I wear glasses, and originally thought it was glare from Venus, because it was so bright in the sky. Until my husband asked “Did you see that?” I then realized it definitely wasn’t my glasses reflecting light. When we looked up, there were two very bright “stars” moving in synchrony, and at the same speed. Perfectly spaced apart, I can’t emphasize that enough. They moved in perfect harmony. They both went halfway across the horizon, then Just disappeared. Here, then gone. I grew up in Phoenix, and personally saw the Phoenix lights, yet am always the person to critique people’s “experiences” and come up with a rational explanation. If there was one for this event, I wouldn’t be writing this.

Trenton (abovd), NJ

I was on Frontier Airlines flight F91006, with direct service from Orlando, FL to Albany, NY on January 13th, 2020.  At 5:30 pm, I looked out the window and noticed a bright light. The light hung directly above the cloud line. At first, I thought it may have been a tall building or another plane, but I saw the city lights below and realized that no building would have been tall enough to reach such heights. I realized it wasn’t another plane as the light stayed consistent and did not move. I watched it for a few moments and saw another plane in the distance fly in front of it. At that point, I was able to gauge the size of it. The plane that flew in front of the light appeared small compared to the light behind it. At that point, I decided to take a photo.  Moments later, I heard a few other passengers talking about the strange light. I did not engage with them. The light stayed in the same place. If the light had been sitting in the exact same place, it would have moved out of sight of my window. It stayed in the exact same place relative to my window. That’s when I realized the light must have been moving at the same speed that we were flying. That’s when I began filming at 5:38 pm.  After a few moments, the light ascended from the position it sat at for about 5 minutes. It moved upward and then started to make unnatural movements laterally. Over the course of about 3 minutes it moved higher into the sky and continued to make unnatural movements to the left and right. The light would occasionally pause and remain still for a few moments.   Eventually, the light moved back toward the rear of the plane and I could no longer see it out the window.  The city I listed is an approximate location based on the time and flight path that I looked up after I landed.   Unfortunately, I had fallen asleep at some point during my flight. I woke up from some rough turbulence and some unusual electrical activity on the plane. (Seatbelt sign turning on and off, flickering lights.) I looked out the window when I woke up and I immediately saw the light. Unfortunately I cannot account for where the light came from and how it manifested because I was asleep prior to seeing it.   I will email photographic and video evidence to the email address provided.

Orlando, FL

Saw 8 white lights, evenly spaced, moving north in a straight line across the night sky in east Orange County on January 12th around 7pm. They looked like stars just west of constellation Orion and spanned the length of the sky until they moved out of my view.

Trenton, FL

I got a hold of the people around me and had them look. Then approximately 7 people have seen the lights. I made a phone call and call my wife that was located 10 miles away and she also confirmed the lights from a different location. A few of us have never seen anything like . They were not flashing any color. No green or red. Just a Amber light on each one. There were over 100 of these lights flying in practically single-column. Also while looking around the sky we also saw moving Amber lights but we're not flying in formation just as individuals

Naples, FL

Saw a string of well spaced white lights miles apart , at the edge of the atmosphere moving in a line , upward , in unison 5 times as fast as a plane would until they suddenly disappeared then individual white lights following the same path at the same speed , disappearing the same way , but were spaced out 30 seconds or so apart , these looked as if they were almost "moving stars" , but not stars , planes or drones , looked for any info on satellite launches that night and could find none

SIX MONTHS BACK AT SAME POINT WE SAW THE LIGHT SUDDENLY APPEARING AND DISAPPEARING IN “ L” SHAPE ROUTE. I SAW THIS WITH MY NEIGHBOUR. I IGNORED MY SIGHTING DURING THAT TIME A AIRPLANE ALSO PASSED. I TOOK A VIDEO BUT COULD NOT SEE LIGHT IN IT AS IT WAS VERY FAR.

Longview, WA

At roughly 6pm I was driving from southern Oregon to Washington state, and after passing through Portland to Vancouver, wa. I notice a very large light in the sky to the West of me. At first glance I assumed it was an aircrafts headlights, because it was way too bright to be star or Jupiter, and with a heavy overcast there would not be any way for it to be outside our atmosphere. Assuming this was a jets headlights I was waiting for it to turn, but never did. I don't think it was traveling at all, or maybe it was traveling north at the same speed I was, but it seemed to linger in the same location for roughly 25 mins, as I was traveling north at roughly 70 mph... It would sometimes disappear behind the clouds, but then re appear. The light almost looked wider to plane than vertical, and very bright. Other people had to of witnessed it, because it was there so long. This was not a reflection from my window, something very large and bright was either very high altitude and bright, or aircraft altitude and moving parallel speed with me for a long time. The light was almost a vibrant blue white light.

2-3 straight lines of what looked to be satellites flying SW to NE over N fort Myers . I watch for satellites all the time which is why they caught my eye. 3 different lines in succession one after another having 10-15 per group all evenly spaced out.
