Vacaville, CA
I was taking the trash out and looked up at the clear night sky when suddenly my eyes were immediately drawn to these 5-7 orange/red lights in the sky. These lights were all the same size and were in a perfect V-shaped formation heading west to east just over Vacaville, CA. These lights flew straight over my head and were moving extremely fast. I first thought that perhaps the orange street lights were playing with my eyes with a glare or something, so I ran into the middle of the street to see if anything would change but nothing changed whatsoever. These objects were roughly 3000-5000ft in the sky . I suspected that this could be some type of military aircraft but the thing that made it clear that these were not military was how silent these crafts were. No sound whatsoever, just lights. This is my first UFO sighting and it matches how everyone else describes these crafts.

This happened near the train tracks about 3 blocks from US 13 (Chester Pk) and Fairview ave roughly 2 miles from Chester Pa. very near I 95. I am repeating exactly what my girlfriend just told me, then spoke to both again while writing this to be sure of details. I went to look but hey were gone by time I got there about 10 minutes later Female in her 50s was driving her 13 year old son back from shopping, coming down Fairview towards US13. A block before the tracks they both saw twelve bright orange (mango), white, and yellow lights with no glare slightly larger then a nickle held at arms length. They were in a loose circular pattern, just sat there at about 2,000 feet, possibly little lower between US13 and the tracks. After about 15 seconds of watching they got scared and drove the other way. No other people or cars were in the area. Normally that would be extremely weird but this is the Covid year so hard to say. The lights match nothing we can think of and we are all very familiar with all lights in area. She has lived roughly 1/4 mile from where they were for about 20 years, and I for about 8. We live along a flight path into Philadelphia Airport, it or they were not planes. Light was very different, colors wrong,lower and larger. She had no interest in UFOs before this and was visibly shaken, son also less then thrilled. I, who wasn't there am interested so am writing this to the best of my ability

Multiple lights ( 13 -16 ) in formation traveling in a parallel formation north to South . Airplane was in flight traveling west to East North and South of object in Question. My son in law was driver that noticed the light formation asked me what was that in the night sky as soon as I found the object thats when I noticed the lights in formation and took a picture while hanging out the passenger window ,as we pull over , I also tried to video however unsuccessful . I exit the vehicle to take a video however object is gone . Airplanes traveling west to East are visible, not the object I stood on side of road searching sky but nothing.

Nicoma Park, OK
Object was seen coming from the west heading to the southeast. It resembled a sting of lights similar to the "Phoenix Lights" incident. Clear dark skies. Object had a sting of several lights and slowly faded out just like the video taken over Phoenix. The area is located northwest of Tinker AFB, Midwest City, Oklahoma.

8 or 10 lights in the sky northeast of Aberdeen in what appeared to be a formation in a straight line. They were what looked to be the same distance between them all as they moved threw the sky and disappearing at a high rate of speed as I videoed them on my cell phone.

I was just finishing picking-up yard debris in my backyard when my husband came outside. I mentioned how beautiful the stars were looking tonight. As I was looking up I saw what I thought was a plane but it seemed a little too bright and round to be a plane and it didn’t have the red and green blinking position lights. It was round but not perfectly round. The edges were slightly jagged. I followed it and it wasn’t moving in a straight line. It was wiggly, moving suddenly slightly to the left and then to the right. I asked my husband if I was imagining, thinking something was wrong with my eyes. He said he sees it too and mentioned that the craft wasn’t making any noise so it couldn’t be a helicopter. He exclaimed "I think it’s a UFO!" We continued watching it and as it moved further away. The brightly lit craft started to flicker then it dimmed and “poof!” In a flash, the light of the craft went-out and disappeared!

Clarkston, MI
Time estimated, but between 9 and 11 PM. Looking north, I observed a formation of three white lights (apparent magnitude of each light estimated around 1.0-1.5) arranged in a roughly equilateral triangle move rapidly northwestward across about 40° of sky in approximately two to three seconds, first visible to the NNE and disappearing in the NNW about a second before it would have gone behind the treeline from my location. As it was dark, I could not discern any form or silhouette between or around the lights, so I don’t know whether this was a solid object or not. About 10 minutes later, another formation of identical description moved parallel to, but slightly east of, the first formation’s apparent path. Both times, the three lights were solid in brightness and white, and neither made any noise. The weather was mostly clear, and there was some light smoke from a bonfire nearby. Only the first formation was observed through this smoke. I have been an amateur astronomer for about a decade, so I can confidently rule out satellites (based on rapid speed across the sky) and airplanes (based on solid lights and no sound). If not for it having more than a single point of light, and the fact it happened twice, this would have looked very similar to a meteor/shooting star.

On the Date and Time specified, I was on my balcony having my morning coffee and a cigarette, facing the western skies. I was admiring how low the moon was, and the size of it, as well as the bright orange color of it, as it was in the west by northwest sky. After a few minutes of studying the moon, I noticed what came from nowhere, a straight line of what I thought was stars, they appeared to look just like the stars in the western sky. These stars however, were in a perfectly straight line, and were spaced as I would describe as Morse code (there were 3 equally spaced, then a gap, then 3 more equally spaced, and another gap, then 2 equally spaced, then a gap then 1, then a gap, and so on). I could not count how many there were but I was so shocked by what I was seeing, that I opened the window to the bedroom where my wife was sleeping, and yelled to her to wake up, come look at this , hurry, this is crazy!!!. she came running outside to see what I was seeing. When my wife saw it she was just as shocked as I was, and then we noticed that on the left side of the line of stars(south) was three more stars in a triangular pattern, then we noticed they were all moving. The long line of stars was moving in an easterly direction, and the 3 others were moving in the opposite direction, and they were all moving very fast. After about one minute, all were out of view, my wife ran into the apartment and looking out the east facing windows, could not see any of it. We both estimate seeing probably about 75 to 85 of these “stars” My wife was as amazed as I was with what we saw, so she got online and started searching UFO´s and trying to find information, and she came across a photo and story from Austria 2020, that showed almost exactly the same type of formation of lights. I told people at work about it and was told “Ahhh, it´s just Elon Musk and his star link program”. My wife and I are still questioning what it was that we saw. UNEXPLAINABLE!!!!!

Centralia, WA
In Centralia, WA around 9pm I was on my way outside and looked up at the sky. It was cloudy, but I distinctly saw 7-9 glowing starlike orbs traveling south to northeast dipping under the moon. They were in a v like formation with the center point leading like a flock of geese. It seemed to me that they were their own entities. I thought they may be shooting stars at first but they were traveling too slow for that. It lasted about 5 seconds. My friend who was on the other side of the yard also saw the same thing.

It looked like a combination of a very slow moving comet and a long freight train with dotted windows lit up. It moved through the sky from west to east and crossed over Heller Road around 9pm. The front was the brightest and had the most lit up objects but there were other bright lights scattered in the middle and towards the back. The light trailed off behind each bright light. My son thought it was a one of the big navy carrier planes, but it didn’t make any sound and was a lot bigger/longer and looked way different to him when his eyes adjusted to the image. He saw it more as a formation of bright, round lights. I also thought it was a navy carrier plane since they fly overhead here all the time but when I lifted his window shades I could tell that it was something very different. It was massive and slow moving. I have never seen anything like that before. A truck driving down Heller Road slowed to a stop as it passed over head. We assume he or s! he saw it too.

While walking home with my wife from our parking spot, I happened to look up at the stars as it was a very clear night. I saw two lights moving together directly above us. One red and one green. They were moving in the NW direction. These were too far apart to be aircraft Nav lights and one slowly overtook the other. I stayed in the street watching them fade in the distance then looked back above the direction of our house to see about 10 more on the way. Colors included white, red, green, and dark blue or purple. Moving in same direction as the last two. Some overtaking others. No sound and solid colors. According to winds aloft data, these were not moving with the wind as far as I could tell. Took some cell phone pictures, but quality is terrible. Does show colors however. Called my family on Kent Island to step outside to look as well but they couldn't see anything similar to what we were seeing saw. The larger group of lights continued in that direction ! until they faded out of sight. Total time from for each group to cross over and dissappear on the horizon was about 5 minutes, so moving pretty good for a night with no breeze.

One main oval in front with three circular spheres attached to a stream of white light. Like a three point leaf. It had no sound. I stood there frozen and then saw the three lights separate from the one in front the three lights disappeared and then the main object kept moving then just vanished. The lights flickered quickly on the road. I was frozen and couldn’t run to grab my phone.

walking the dog at around 5:15 , clear sky just as i looked up there was a perfect straight line of lights that kept its formation as it took off across the sky and disappeared over the sky .it travelled fast but not at a super pace it took about 30 seconds to vanish. not one light was out of shape a plane was flashing some distance away with a tail behind it but that was flashing as it came the other way the lights was different no flashing warning light at the front , it was not a plain trail left in the sky as i could make out its formation as i went off with trail behind it. there was 20 ish lights i have some footage in a phone video but it was taken at night but can make out the anomaly .

Louisville, KY
They were lights red orbs, circular form. Don’t Know if they were aircrafts or just lights. Our location is in Louisville, KY. 589G+CX Louisville, Kentucky. We were facing south. They where traveling like in a formation. Not a straight line, but more like two staggering lines. We saw them disappeared after passing a certain point in the sky. They were silent. No helicopter or air plane sound. My husband was able to take the very last few orbs on his cell phone camera. Afterwards, I google it and see that this has occurred in other states, like in Texas. The orbs were very much like the ones on the articles I just read over the internet. Summary description: Red light orbs in a formation hovering in Kentucky.

Belton, TX
Approximately 8-10 objects in a group transitioning south to north, possibly southeast to northwest. I would estimate them to be over 40,000ft. No contrails visible. Skies clear. They were white objects. However, some flashed. It was more than likely sunlight reflecting because there was still daylight. Within the group of lights, two to three were red at times. As they transitioned across, their speed was more so constant. However, several of the objects maneuvered faster in random directions.

3 yellowish orange oval shaped objects traveling approximately east to west. Objects were approximately 30 degrees above horizontal and did not appear to be changing altitude. Objects were some distance away and there was no noise accompanying. Objects appeared to be flying in formation and were spaced approximately equidistant. Before leaving field of view, objects appeared to disappear. Captured 86 second video of observation.

Edmonds, WA
Last night, March 1st 2021, at 10:05 pm, I saw 4 lights in the southwest sky in Edmonds. They had a slightly pale orange tint to them. There were 3 evenly spaced-horizontal in the sky. The 4th one was directly below the middle one about 15 degrees south. As such * * * * They were moving up and down in unison. I watched for 5 minutes. I looked again at 11:30pm, they were gone. On Wednesday night February 24th, 2021, (I believe it was that night or the following night), about 11:00 pm, in the same spot in the southwest sky, I saw the 4 lighted objects. They were in a rectangular shape with the lower far right one dropping downward moving faster than the others were moving. They were closer to earth than the ones on March 1st. Their color was a bit more orange/red. As such * * * *
