Multiple Objects moving East in a row one after another

December 25, 2019 · 5:30 PM · LIGHT

Multiple lights were seen traveling across the night sky around 17:30. The lights appeared to be evenly spaced, and all moving in a straight line. The lights were high in the sky and almost looked like stars, but they were moving. None of the lights blinked or deviated from the line.

I took my dog outside at 3 am so she could do her business. It was a clear crisp night, with little cloud cover, so I was admiring the beautiful stars in the night sky. No moon was visible at the time. I looked to the NW at Capella which was very clear & bright. Then I looked towards Elnath in the Taurus constellation, which was also clearly visible with the naked eye. Between these two stars were a few fainter stars,Kabdalinan & Mahasim, and then I saw movement. In between Elnath & Capella where no visible stars were, an object was zipping around in an erratic manner. Sharp 90 degree turns right, left, up, down & then diagonally. No dissernable path or logic was evident in it's flight pattern & no great distance was covered. It would move a couple of inches left then up a couple then back. It was extremely high up, but was not moving between the stars, more like it was searching the area for something. I heard no sound, & there were no airplanes or helicopters in the sky at that time of the morning. Stars don't move in different directions & back & forth. I got my binoculars out to make sure I was seeing this thing move & sure enough it was still zipping in every direction. I watched it for a good 10 - 15 min. totally amazed at the manuverability of this object I've lived near numerous airports & military bases & have never seen any air craft with this capability. I ended up leaving the binoculars out, so that I would remember this event in the morning. Even as I was doing so, I was trying to convince myself it was a dream. But I figured if they were left out & not put away then they would remind me of the encounter in the morning. No binoculars - it was a dream. Binoculars left out... It really happened. Low & behold they were there in the morning. I shared my experience with my pilot husband & daughter, & we joked it was Santa delivering toys, but if it was he has whiplash because those stop on a dime & change direction moves couldn't be ensured by humans. I just went out at 3:30 this morning 12/26/2019 to check the same spot. Same clear crisp weather, no star or object is visible in that part of the sky.

Mandeville, LA

I was alone on my balcony at 0140 gazing at the stars on a clear night and a bright light(what I thought was a star) caught my attention. Then, I noticed it was "bobbing" in a vague shadow circular type of "hole" or space between the stars. I watched for 3o min. and noticed it was never stationary, it was always bobbing, then I became intrigued when the light suddenly darted at a precise 90 degree angle, returned to the neutral position continued bobbing, then darted rapidly extreme left, back to center (neutral), then a couple of minutes later it darted extreme right, back to center, bobbed for about 4 minutes, then darted upward in a precisional straightline straight up and remained bobbing at the top of the dark area (hole) in the sky. What was interesting is that the movements were so well calculated and straightline. At one point when it was bobbing I thought it was a light moving to music. I fully expected I would see it go shooting off into the atmosphere, but it didn't. Instead, it inched around at the top of the dark space or "hole" in the sky and continued bobbing around but never left the space where it was positioned in the shadow zone. In fact, the light or craft behaved as if there were boundaries in the dark shadow zone and was always remaining within those boundaries. At one point the light skirted around the top of the dark shadow area. So best way to describe it is that it remained in it's neutral zone and moved in calculated straightline movements never leaving the circular dark area between the stars. The light was far enough away that I could not determine anything more than just a bright light that appears round. I recall last year hearing a radio show (George Noori) conversation with military pilots discussing UFO's darting around their aircraft when they were in flight one night. This sighting I had on Christmas morning at 0140 was very similar to the military pilots had! described insofar as the erratic and sudden movement of the U! FO's the y had sighted one night. Decided to report this given the very peculiar movement of the bright light that I sighted 18 hours ago.

Mount Vernon, MO

It has slightly moved east in relation to the stars, but to me it is pretty much still in the same spot. In other words, the stars are just simply that much further west due to the rotation of the earth. Due to it being Christmas I unfortunately had to come inside. At one point around 00:30 or so I saw what seemed to be another flashing light heading towards it from the E/NE. It was brighter and actually resembled an aircraft due to the speed it was traveling and it was headed right towards this stationary blinking light. Oddly, as soon as the aircraft looking light flashed one last time before intersecting the stationary flashing light from my viewpoint, the moving flashing light suddenly disappeared. Yes, the moving flashing light completely vanished right at the point of the stationary flashing light... I suspect it'll just stay there and keep blinking every 8 to 10 seconds all night all things considered, so strange... ...I really wish I could contact someone that could look up and also see it, that may have equipment to further investigate. It was East/ NE of Sirius... i first noticed it right near Canis Minor and as time passed and the stars moved westward it moved past M67 and so on over the 2 hour span…

Hovering bright light like a strobe light. Hovering. Possible drone.

Boise, ID

My wife and I both saw a red light hover motionless at about 20 degrees on the horizon perhaps 20 miles due north of Boise for a total of approximately six minutes. The fact the craft was motionless was notable, and it caught the eye of both of us. A fter approximately 1 minute a second red light then descended from the craft to the horizon, taking perhaps ten seconds to do so. This was at a consistent velocity in a completely straight line. No other crafts were visible at the time. There were no adjacent aircraft.

Boise, ID

At approximately 2100, myself and one other person spotted a pulsating red light moving from West to East across the downtown Boise area. After about ten minutes, the object turned and began moving West. The object then appeared to separate or drop a blinking light towards the foothills to the North of Boise. After this the pulsating light seemed to be about half as bright and moved erratically around a fixed position in the night sky for several minutes longer.

PS: I'm a little excited right now. I just saw what I would call a stream of UFO's flying West to East across the sky (19:20 MST) about 60 degrees from North. I go out once in awhile to humor myself. But this just happened There were 10 or more solid lights the size of large stars streaming along the same route. They just kept coming from the West. I could see 3-4 at a time in the sky. I tried my cell and my digital camera but got nothing - no stars either. So I must have done something wrong. At one point 2 of the lights were traveling more fairly close the 2nd of this group stopped and went in a diagonal for a sec or so. The last one I followed traveled across the sky the just disappeared right above my place. The previous lights were viewable much further to the East. These were way high up in the sky - like airplanes at their max altitude. No blinking - solid single white light with each. How great is that got a Christmas present early! . Probably airplanes of some sort but one can only hope Would like to know if there is an explanation for these lights...

I was out walking our dog tonight on Christmas Eve. I wanted to see Venus before it disappeared over the horizon. It was beautiful, and very bright, as it has been the past few weeks. I could also see Orion's belt in the north. It seemed that there were more stars in the sky than usual, but it was particularly clear. As I turned back towards the house I was amazed to see an entire line of evenly spaced, white, not particularly bright, lights moving roughly west to east in the night sky. They were like little stars. I tried to count them, and estimate there were about 15-20 in all. The moved slowly, but were perfectly spaced. They seemed to disappear as they approached overhead, as I could not see their formation after that point. They made no sound. I tried to video them with my phone, but they did not show up. I ran to get my husband, who saw them, and my son, who didn't stay out long enough to see them (it was cold and he didn't have shoes to walk in th! e snow). My daughter, who just arrived home, saw them as she drove through the neighborhood on her way home. I noticed off to the northeast what appeared to be a red light flying around, and suspected it was a drone. We live near Ellsworth AFB, and drones are frequently seen at night. These lights may have been drones, also, but their formation, perfect alignment, color, brightness, and the fact that they seemed to disappear, would make them much different drones that what we are used to seeing around here.

Billings, MT

Moving Northwest from the West just above the horizon in a single file formation. We witnessed 25 to 30 lights spaced evenly apart above the Earth floating across the sky for 3 to 5 minutes and then disappearing and dimming out at a certain spot in the sky once they reached that certain spot! Normally where you would satellites flying by! Also several people reported on Facebook seeing the same thing here in Billings, Montana And over McCall, Idaho at the same time there are several pictures to prove these statements.

Greybull, WY

Bright white lights evenly spaced apart moving Southwest to northeast in a continuous line and disappearing before the horizon, for at least a half an hour, not like satelites to bright and evenly spaced, at least 10 people in our group saw them, nobody has answers? We were approximately three miles from closest town so light pollution wasn't a problem.

Venice Beach, CA

Saw a bright orange / pink bright sky almost as If the sun has set. It was well over the Pacific off Santa Monica and Malibu. No lights near it. Over dark ocean. Entire sky dark blue and white clouds. This seem to get brighter at times, spread a little longer, never moved at all. Pic doesn’t do justice...

I was on my way to my works office to turn in papers while driving I saw what looked like one craft with 3 lights very close together in a /// formation is the best way to describe it it was 3 separate lights on one craft and it did not move at all when I was driving back I looked for it and it was not there I've seen 3 crafts so far and this is the only one of a different color of lights they were a bright white while the others were a orange ish color
