Single large disc shaped lights moved one at a time going south at varying speeds. Took video from phone but doesn’t do what we saw with the naked eye justice.

New Year's Eve leaving from a friend's house who lives in a remote area in Florence, Arizona, notice the green light hovering in the sky while coming to stop sign driving home. Its is completely dark pitch black except our headlights so I thought it was a firework about to explode so me and wife wait and this single green ball or round pillish looking craft it starts to move slow back n forth n hovering for a min and then shot into the sky my wife and I both looked at each other mouths open as no plane or aircraft can move that fast. I should add we both dont drink so there was no mistaking this for a firework it

It was so perfectly green and beautiful. Wow! I told my kids they just missed out something so beautiful because they spend to much time looking down on the phone.

My girlfriend and I were stargazing pretty far out of town, so we could see as much of the night sky as possible. After about an hour, she noticed what appeared to be a very bright star that was wobbling towards the south (through a bit of a treeline). I watched it for about 30 minutes as it moved in all directions and in circles. Without knowing how far away it was, it would be difficult to know how fast it was going, but if I held a dime out at arms length it would almost cover the area it moved around.

My partner went outside to urinate just before 10pm and noticed a strange light moving in the sky. He quickly noticed it was much quicker than a nearby plane and without other lights. He knocked for me to join him and I also observed the light, like a star, raise rapidly in the sky, quickly change directions and move in ways unlike a meteor, star, plane or space station. Initially the light moved rapidly vertically, then stopped still and occasionally moved seemingly erratically, sometimes back and forwards, sometimes in circles. We live near an international airport and frequent planes took off nearby and came in to land. The light sat just above this low level of planes coming to land. We watched it for about 30 minutes. After the initial rapid movement there was not much movement, it would be stationary for a while but occasionally would drop, raise or make jerky movements. The cloud came in but when we look and its clearer it's still there.

I was out looking at what I thought was a extremely bright star but then tit moved. It circled a few times, twinkling the whole time, then stopped moving and twinkling, then vanished, like a light just switched off.

While driving south on highway 35, I saw a light moving quickly through the clouds from the south east. It stopped abruptly, went quickly upwards and disappeared. It returned several times for approximately 15 minutes moving in erratic patterns.

Noticed a string of lights equally spaced apart. Looked like stars racing across the sky then one by one disappeared at the same spot. too high to be a jet and moving way too fast.

Hello By far not the first sighting we've had living here but this one was...epic, thought I'd share. First observed two lights traveling slowly one following the other (same as satellites) in a slow-straight line overhead. Knowing satellites never travel together in pairs I went inside my home to call my wife. At first she noticed the two satellite looking lights, then she panicked and said "There's more"!! We watched over twenty objects one after another slowly crossing the sky, appearing from the distance (+10 km) out of maybe fog or cloud (very dark out), traveling in a line above us heading from the West, eventually disappearing into fog/clouds and off into the distant glow of lights in Calgary in the East. The sky was very clear other than some fog in the far distance. My wife was counting the number of objects until ran back into the house for more clothing(-8c). I gave up counting as didn't find it important and started looking around for camera and neighbors, anyone to point out and share an epic moment with, but nobody was outside.(Too dark for photograph) Terrifying thrilling better than any Netflix. Hope others who may have seen this take a minute to back us up here.wow lol

Three white lights moving in a non-linear fashion. Went from high to low altitude extremely fast. Lights seemed independently moved non coordinated, but formed a triangle.

I am familiar with satellites but have never seen more than one or two at once, but never the amount that I saw this night all going in the same direction.

Driving South on Highway 22 with my boyfriend, I looked to the West and saw what i initially thought was a row of stars from the big dipper handle. As I tried to look for the 'pot' of the big dipper, I noticed that what i thought was the handle, was 5 bright stars and instead of remaining still, they were flying from the west to the east. I told my boyfriend, 'oh weird those stars look like they're moving' and then I realized there was a string of them coming over the rocky mountain horizon, following the first light. Each 'star' was evenly spaced and tracking the first in a straight line over us. They just kept coming perfect spaced, at the same speed. My boyfriend pulled to the shoulder and we got out to watch the phenomenon. We both had never seen anything like this before. It was almost erie how they followed each other, perfectly spaced, in unison, up and over us. I called two of my friends, one from Redwood meadows and the other from Priddis and told them to look west of where they were and to the right of the sliver of moon. They too were in shock because they could see them. The line of stars continued to streak across the night sky, traveling west to east. We lost count around 80.

The lights were blinking and swirling in circles. I first thought it was stars but they started to move across the sky.

Forest Park, IL
My fiance and I have a condo and were out on our 3rd.floor balcony which faces East. We spotted a light that silently hovered and started to slowly move from North to South. It changed positions numerous times and would fade and re-appear throughout the incident. It was flashing rapidly numerous colors, white, red and green. At times, planes would fly next to it or below it. If I had to guess it was about 800-900 ft. in the air and increased its elevation throughout the course of the sighting.

Hundreds of lights traveling same speed in the same direction, not flashing lights. Extremely high in the sky. Traveling opposite of the cloud and wind direction. Typically in formation of triangles or grids of 3-5 crafts. This has been going on for over 30 min. There were other commercial airplanes flying in the opposite direction. These lights were scattered over many miles in all directions, not just a straight line.

My husband and I were out on our patio. My husband said there's our bright star. I looked up and the bright light started moving east towards the gulf. It was moving fast. The light turned green then went out.

Centennial/Parker, CO
I was driving southbound on S. Chambers Rd. nearing Compark Blvd. (at the Centennial/Parker border) when a bright, solid-white light appeared out of nowhere at a very low altitude to the left of me in the pre-dawn darkness. It zipped south-eastward in the same trajectory as my car, veered northward and down before it just blinked out. It was much too low & fast for the distant flights ascending/descending out of DIA and much too fast for the smaller planes allowed in the immediate Centennial airspace. The light was more solidly encompassing, rather than just a twinkle on a plane or helicopter. My car was the only one on the road in all directions at 5am so there were no head- or tail-lights anywhere in the vicinity to have been reflected on my car windows or against anything external. I've never seen anything like this before until last month when my husband and I both were startled by a nearly identical occurrence. Two sightings of my own seems both noteable and worthy of reporting.

Boise, ID
Craft was spotted above Boise Foothills, north of Downtown Boise. Bright red light in sky too bright to be a satellite and moving too slow to be a plane. Light was drifting west and suddenly stopped at which point it divided with a similar red light dropping straight down toward the ground. 2nd light flashed and dropped steadily until it was above the Foothills at which point it disappeared just above them. Initial red flashing light slowed to a steady westward drift, with variable blinking until it completely disappeared about 5 minutes after splitting.

Shaped like a round object far away. Moving in slow circular motion. Changing color from red to blue to white. Will disappear then come back either higher or lower. Goes in and out in brightness.
