Bauxite, AR
Took the dog out to pee. Looked up to the west at the stars and saw a stream of lights single file traveling at a slow rate of speed moving from south headed north. There was no sound. They would appear from the south travel north and disappear. I ran inside to get my phone and came back out to take a video but couldn’t see any on my screen. So I ran back inside and got my camera and though I couldn’t see them on my screen I was able to get one picture of one of them. After they had all flown by I called my wife to tell her what I saw. I came inside for a few minutes and went back outside for another look. I saw them all at once at a high altitude in a single file making like a single line. Then they faded out.

Amory, MS
7-10 lights in a row north of highway 278 in Amory, MS. Seemed to be spaced out the same distance apart or possibly one craft spinning.

Houston, TX
A long single file group of approximately 25 to 30 objects moving from the northwest to southeast. The objects appeared like a medium size star. They were spaced about 2 to 3 seconds in movement apart. They moved in a straight line until they disappeared on the horizon.

Palm Springs, CA
Ten lights were moving in a southeasterly direction in what appeared to be a formation. Lights were spaced evenly apart at approximately one to two degrees separation. Their speed seemed to be constant, they were not accelerating. The lights were bright white, there were no colored lights visible and no sound at all. The lights were not moving in the direction of Palm Springs airport and disappeared to the southeast about 2 minutes after the initial siting. I did not have my camera with me to take pictures.

Bishop, CA
Around 9:30 p.m. in Bishop California a fleet of at least 20 in a straight line, evenly spaced formation moving slowly across the sky from west to east. Color white / silver ... looked like a sattelite but much closer. I have seen quite a few interesting mysterious sky phenomena on the eastern side of the Sierra (Mammoth Lakes last summer) and in Bishop a similar formation Winter of 2020 (Decemeber i think - did not report - but this formation had at least 10 more) I'm open, non-fanatical, grounded. This formation tonight was awesome. Woke my friend to witness it with me.

Albuquerque, NM
I thought I was looking at Cassiopeia with its 'W' shape, then I released that it was a series of lights moving silently across the sky in a straight line, but in a zig zag formation. There was a much brighter light, then two, that appeared to be flying up and down alongside the formation, almost as if they were escorting them. After a couple of minutes they suddenly disappeared, then about five minutes or so later, they suddenly re-appeared back in the spot where I initially saw them, taking the same path I'd watched them take a few minutes earlier. Same bright light, then two, and then they all disappeared exactly the same as the first time. It was as if somebody was replaying it again.

Williams, AZ
Sighting details: At approximately 2130hrs on May 5th, 2021, I was taking a walk through a very dimly lit RV park one mile East of Williams Arizona. I happened to look upwards and was immediately startled to notice a nearly perfect straight line of bright white lights stretched horizontally across the sky. As I stopped to look intently upon them I noticed they were slightly brighter white than the stars that were clearly visible in the dark night sky. These lights emitted a constant stream of light and did not have the “twinkling” effect that stars frequently have. The string of lights seemed to be equally spaced from one another, horizontally, but were slightly higher/lower from one another vertically. The lights appeared to all be attached to the same craft, as I could just barely make out a very faint appearance of a gray object against the black sky background. The moment I first saw the light formation it appeared to be stationary, but within a few seco! nds all the lights began to slowly move to my right, in unison with each other. They continued at the same very slow speed until out of sight. I’m not exactly certain of my directional bearings at the time, but I am fairly certain it was moving from the Southwest towards the Northeast in direction. The string of lights was very long. I looked up at about 30 degrees to my left, and it spanned to about 30 degrees to my right. That was my full field of view, due to some tall Ponderosa Pine trees blocking my view of either end of it. I could clearly see approximately 15 lights in a straight line on the object, but there appeared to be more that were being blocked by the trees. It was a very quiet night outside that evening and there was no audible noise coming from this craft. My background: I am 61 years old. I am retired from the US Air Force. I worked on fighter jets as a maintenance technician. I have a BS degree in Psychology from Grand Canyon University, an Associates Degree in Aerospace Technology, and completed half of the credits needed towards a Masters Degree in Family Counseling from Phoenix Seminary.

A perfectly straight string of lights was moving fast across the sky North West Bound The lights looked just like other stars in the sky in terms of size, color and brightness. The sky was completely clear tonight with lots of visible stars. There was no sound.

Park City, UT
We witnessed a straight line of approximately 25 white lights, (no flashing), traveling at a uniform speed and perfectly spaced. They appeared to be at a very high altitude. They were traveling from west to east and appeared to be illuminated by the sun, like a line of fast satellites crossing the sky. They vanished one by one as they reached the west side of the sky. No noise.

Kingman, AZ
We witnessed between 50-75 or possibly more lights in a straight line from as far southwest as we could see to the farthest northeast we could see, moving fairly quickly. No sound or flashing lights. Lasted about five minutes. Called the police dept. and asked if anyone else called in and was told yes.

Looked like a string of lights. Directly above my home. Moving south. Dissapeared...lights went out but I could still see what was a darker cylinder image still moving south. Object(s) made No noise. It was a very clear night.

Lebanon, OR
Seen over the area of Lebanon, Oregon, moving from west to east—a stream of bright lights traveling relatively slowly in a straight line with a white “head” and a tight straight stream of distinct, (at least 18) various colored lights (about 2 “fingers” long) following behind—high in the sky but lower than a high flying jet. Clear sky. No evidence of any flaring out like a rocket reentering the atmosphere and the lights did not separate out. The lights appeared to be all connected in a straight line. Two witnesses watched for about 3 minutes from the time we first saw them until they passed out of sight. In our many years of sky watching my Coast Guard veteran husband and I have never seen anything like it! I am a retired College employee with a longtime interest in astronomy.

Everett, WA
At about 9:00pm on May 4th, my boyfriend and I decided to walk to the store. While walking I happened to look up and we saw about 15 or so lights that were in a straight line contracting moving away from each other then shortly after retracted and disappeared. They stayed in a straight line and the best way of describing it was like a coil or slinky being stretched. As the line formation contracted the lights grew further apart yet held in line formation and at the end before disappearing they retracted coming back together as one and then disappeared. Both of us tried taking video and pictures with our phones and were both strangely unable to as both froze... Strangest yet most intriguing thing I’ve ever seen!

Madera, CA
Went outside @ 0430 and saw a line of stars which I have never seen in the north eastern sky. After a few seconds I noticed they were moving right to left. There were about 10 at a time, and as they were moving the front one would disappear and another would appear at the other end. Towards the end several would get close together and then separate. And several would stop and go. This lasted for several minutes. Then they disappeared.

Clearwater Beach, FL
At approximately 22:50, on the evening of Sunday, the 2nd of May, 2021, I witnessed 2, small but very bright lights traveling at a very high rate of speed traveling in a westerly direction coming from over land and heading out over the Gulf of Mexico. At first I thought I was witnessing two meteors as they were traveling much faster than any aircraft or other man made object could. I tracked them for approximately 20 seconds in a straight line. Both objects were traveling side by side, in the exact same direction and speed. At that time, both objects made four very distinct course corrections. Both objects made the same zig zag, “z” shaped movements. First to the right, back to the left, back to the right and finally left continuing westerly in a straight line and at a burst rate of speed before disappearing. The speed, distance apart and the movements were identical and did not very from the each other. Due to the precision, speed of the movements and rate of acceleration, I am confident these were a form of mechanical objects that were neither a man made or natural objects.

Chicago, IL
My wife and I were sitting on the grass in the park overlooking the water of Lake Michigan at Montrose Harbor facing East. The sky was fairly clear. Some clouds in the distance. We are familiar with the area. There is considerable air traffic into O'Hare airport. We saw three spherical silver shining orbs in formation traveling West to East below the typical airplane flight path elevation. They were traveling quite faster than typical commercial aircraft. I pointed them out to my wife. She saw them as well. They disappeared into the distant cloud formation to the east. This happened approximately 6:20 p.m. on May 1, 2021. Weather was clear and sunny. Approximately 3 to 5 minutes after we observed this event, I saw another single spherical silver shining object traveling in the same direction. This object was just as fast as the others. There was no sound coming from the objects. The formation they held and speed was incredible.

Riverdale, UT
On the night of the 18th I first started seeing fleets around 20:00, the first couple of fleets had around 20-30 craft, I soon lost count of how many fleets I had seen, I believe I saw at least 20-30 fleets, all traveling from South to North. There seemed to be 2 different craft, there were smaller ones that only showed up as a round light, and there were bigger ones that had a light on the underside that was reminiscent of a crane flying overhead. This incident lasted around an hour. We could barely see the lights with the naked eye, but with the binoculars we were able to see them much more clearly.

Shoreline, WA
I am interested in the subject of UFO/UAPs and consistently look up to try to catch something. This is the first time I have seen any thing odd that I couldn't really shrug off. This occurred Thursday April 15 2021 @ about 10:16 PM. I was taking my dog out for the last time before bed, The weather in western Washington has been beautiful the past few days. I look up at the stars as I always try to do if it is clear. I noticed a formation of objects , I think 6 in total but I cant recall exactly because it happened so quickly. There were 4 objects in a line and 2 off to the side. The formation was moving in a south to north direction. They were a dark gray color against the dark navy blue sky. They were very hard to see, but they had zero deviation in the individual objects shape and the formation. No lights at all, no sound, my dog did not notice anything. They seemed to be much lower than satellites, and planes often fly in the airspace waiting to land at SeaTac airport... but these had no lights at all and no sound. I will send a quick sketch to help visualize.

Springfield, IL
I was looking up at the stars and just happened to see a very faint movement in the sky. Once my eyes focused, I could see what looked like a formation of very faint lights in a formation. I would say it was a v formation but it was more of a check mark as there were more to one side than the other, about 7 or 8 lights in total. They moved faster than any aircraft I’ve ever seen flying at what seemed such high altitude. I’ve seen shooting start, satellites, meteors and all sorts of aircraft flying in the night sky. Nothing I’ve seen has ever moved the way these lights were moving. I’m 100% convinced I saw either one big ufo or a cluster of multiple ufos.

Hi, I'm an amateur astrologist. On 04/11/2021 @ 2201 hrs, I was deciding on setting up equipment. Directly over head I notice a shimmering circle of stars. Looking very much like a heat mirage, only in the clear dark sky. Surrounding the shimmering were 8 'lights'? in a semi circle, moving uniformly together. White in color moving much quicker than night lights move. (2-3x more quickly). The lights traveled in a southern to northern direction. I have many apps to help with night sightings. All aircraft Flightradar24), satellites (Heavens Above) and many star charts. All the above showed no active. Total time was about 5 seconds and gone. Clearoutside.com reported my site with 10 miles visibility, new moon and Class 2 Bortle (0.18 mcd/m2) Of course, I was alone, but contacted you via phone. Steve
