We saw 7 or 8 small lights moving very slowly from the west going east. They were all equally spaced the same distance apart and seemed to be going upward. Slowly disappeared one by one as they were above us.

At 18:30 I was out on my balcony and was looking up in the night sky at the stars. I spotted a bright light going across from SW to NE. I then saw another and another and another they were evenly spaced apart and traveling at the same rate of speed. I stood there watching and noticed that they were coming from the SW. I stayed counting them I got up to 15 and thought this is no way planes or helicopters for they all had just a single bright light. I couldn't get a good video or picture due to the darkness and they wouldn't show-up. I then ran and got my Son to come and see them not knowing if they would be there once I returned with my Son as a witness. We got back out on the balcony and they were still there just as before. One after another and up to 40 of them I also noticed planes flying around the same area with their blinking white and red lights and I could till the planes were at a lower altitude then all the single white bright lights were that were! going across the night sky. After the single file white bright lights stopped I stayed watching the same areas to see if anymore came as the first set. And, if anymore sightings of planes in the same area. I then witnessed 8 more of the same single bright light going in the same direction as the multiple ones. However, I could tell these were higher up then the other ones and further apart then as they got just passed my backyard tree line I saw a bright flash of a few of them then they were gone. I went back inside and went to see if anything was posted online from any other sources. This was at 17:15 and I found your site and decided to post this. A feedback to my sighting would be appreciated if another reports should come in. Thank you,

Troy Grove, IL
There was a line of very noticeable lights traveling north east over middle Illinois. There were 20-25 lights in a very evenly spaced straight line. After about what I would call 4-5 mins they would disappear in the same spot and same way they showed up.

We were outside letting our pets go to the potty. We were looking up at the sky remarking how clear it was and how many stars were out. Then it was asked what constellation/formation “that” was – and we noted 7 lights, equal distance apart flying from south to north in a straight line. We watched the lights travel and after they go to a point in the sky – they disappeared. I did note that there were 8 because after we counted the initial 7 – there was an additional one that did appear to come a bit after the first 7. We watched and looked to see if these lights/planes had gone behind a cloud – but it was clear there was nothing. They were just white lights – no flashing and no noise.

The event was already occurring when I became cognizant. Numerous lights that appeared at first to be distant stars quickly became apparent that they were organized in a single file line. All lights were moving at the same speed and were evenly spaced in the line. Only 6 or 7 visible at a time. All lights appeared in the same location of origin and disappeared in the same location of exit. A second eye witness joined mid way. Watched the same event unfold until no more lights appeared. The final light observed seemed to linger for a moment before disappearing in the same location-perhaps in pursuit?

Long string of 15-20 lights staying in a straight line until they reached a triangle of lights about the same size and brightness and all disappeared at the same point and more lights came from other directions and all disappeared in that area once again, also there were clouds in the sky, about 20 minutes later a few more emerged and disappeared at the same triangle of stars although they came from different directions, shortly after they disappeared a light started flashing in that area and shortly after jetted off in a bright white streak of light . The witnesses were myself, my dad who was in the military for many years, and my mom

I stepped out back and saw a straight line procession of "Stars" ... I called a friend 30 miles to the south of me and he and his wife saw them too. I called my mother, 60 miles north of me and she could not see them.

Salinas, CA
Today it rained a little, but the sky had cleared quite a bit. I was standing in my yard with my dog, looking toward the sky, looking at a planet and first stars of the night. At about 6 pm I saw the first 3 stars traveling evenly spaced in a row. There was a small gap in spacing, then one after another light after light traveled in a row. I watched 31 lights evenly spaced traveling in a row from SW to NE. One light traveled alongside one of the lights in the row, then went off into a different direction.

Albion, ID
Albion ID - Last night(12/22/2019 at about 6:45 PM there was a super bright light above the Albion mountains to the west. I would guess above Willow Creek. I at first thought it was a snowmobile on the ridge but I then seen it was above the mountain. Very bright light. Then all these star looking objects came from it in a perfect straight line heading east overhead. Way way up there. They looked like stars but all were moving in a perfect line. When they got right above (straight up) they disappeared. They kept coming and coming...probably 30 to 50 of them. Then the light just disappeared from the western horizon and they quit coming. After the last one was gone I started to see a few returning but going slower and heading more SSW than where the bright light was at. Almost like they were returning from a mission. My thought are that I seen a mother ship of some sort and it sent out a bunch of smaller cra fts. A few airplanes went by while I was watching these UFO's and the planes were wa! y below them. I kid you not they looked like stars except they were is a perfect straight line moving east and very evenly spaced apart. This whole episode lasted about 25 to 30 minutes. Surely someone else must have witnessed this phenomenon as can offer an explanation. Nothing on the news about it this morning. Did anyone else see this awesome sighting? BTW I do not drink or take drugs so I was not hallucinating.

Approx 7pm on Dec 21, 2019 i was outside and noticed what i thought was maybe a big meteor or similar object. It was very big and bright white colored light in the N.E direction of the sky. It was VERY clear since the moon was not visible. It was the only light in the entire sky at the angle we were seeing it from. It would hover, then move, hover & start moving again for quite a few minutes(5). Then it just suddenly just took off across the dark sky. My mother and I both witnessed this amazingly bright and odd acting "ufo". The moon is not visible tonight and it was about a 30% visibility in the sky but this light was extremely obvious. You couldn't miss this thing. Within the first 2 mins of this sighting we also saw 4 military planes heading(VERY close together)coming from the West heading to the N.E. direction this light originated from. The size MASSIVE & it was so noticeable in the sky it was strange. After about 5 mins watching the light pi! cked up speed and just simply zipped very quickly completely across the viewable sky. It was heading SW. We watched in total about 8-ish mins until it was no longer visible at our location. This was NOT the ISS, nor was it an aircraft we're familiar with. It would glid, then hover, then it would glid again,then hover...it repeated this for the majority of the time it was observed. The 4 airplanes we seen were making a very quick B-line to the NE sky. It was obvious they were together as well as they were heading to rd the same destination with clear hast. I've seen anomalies in the sky quite often lately but I've never witnessed something as massive or as obvious as this was. It was AMAZING. The lights were a bright white color, the shape was hard to make out but did seem like a sphere shape. There were no sounds from this object heard. It did actually have a aura around it, kind of similiar to a fog that faded out. The entire sphere was illuminated from our location. All o! ne color. The light did seem to brighten, then fade .... Then ! brighten and fade, it repeated this pattern until it quit hovering. When it would brighten the light would increase in size but the color remained the same. It was Unnatural lighting, anti gravity movements and impossible speed. It went from one end of the sky to the other within about 3 mins and was SO big and bright it IMMEDIATELY was noticeable and odd. It was drastically different and unusually bright from any the norm that anyone actually looking would have seen this with amazing ease!

Straight line of lights at varying intervals moving from South to North. Seemed to vanish above us and no sign of the lights continuing to the north. I counted 32 before I went inside. It's still happening.

While enjoying our outdoor firepit, I first noticed 3 aircraft (no noise or typical aircraft strobes) travelling SW to NE in a steady straight path and evenly spaced. These lights weren't bright, their flight path was high. As each light reached a certain point, they would dim then disappear. This continued for 10-15 minutes. My entire family saw, we even showed the neighbor. Planes appeared to investigate.

I saw what appeared as lights moving in a straight line on a NNE flight pattern. The lights did not blink or waiver. They were even spaced and seemed to be at same speeds. These were not aircraft. No blinking lights and no sound.

They were lined up and traveling west to East. They were perfectly spaced apart and moving much faster than the other planes flying in the area . Just moving at perfect intervals in relation to each other.

Port Orange, FL
I seen a fixed light in the sky that slowly faded away only to come back brightly. It appeared to hover is the same location with a slight movement left to right at times and up and down. I witnessed it for approximately 20 minutes, but recorded about 1.5 minutes of it. It caught my attention when it got very bright which is what made me notice it in the first place.

Flat Top Mountain, Cedar Valley, UT
Driving by Mt. Olympus on hgwy215 heading south. Noticed plains in the sky, then I noticed above the western mountain range near Mercur where the sun sets; a bright, bigger than plains, light that started small but flashed really bright then vanished, a sharp fine point reddish green line of light went from where the Object was and im assuming where it went which was North West over the Range. The line lasted 5seconds and the light from when I noticed it lasted a few seconds.

Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
Three sets of three lights in a row, turning on then completely dissapearing. One set of three came as close to the beach as to where waves start breaking and lit up, one light at a time and then lights out and nothing. Just completely vaporized. There was nothing to see; not like a car shining its brights, then turning them off. The lights did not cause my pupils to make light impressions after they turned off, into the dark sky. Problem with the time of the sighting. PD

Santa Monica Beach, CA
Three or four bright lights very high in sky in perfect formation, traveling higher and faster than the jets in the sky. Only saw bright lights, no aircraft figures. Only saw limited sky surface due to building obstructing my view. Possibly a portion of the satellite pictured on this websites' cover page if satellite was visible from downtown Santa Monica, CA on 8:00 in morning of Friday, December 20, 2019.
