Pocono PInes, PA
This morning as I was warming up my car I noticed a light traveling steadily across the sky. I thought it was a satellite at first but then noticed two other lights at different distances traveling with it. I stopped and continued to watch as more and more were popping up! All at different intervals and to my North East. They weren't appearing from the skyline, but instead between the stars Perseus and Cassiopeia, where the light would slowly fade in from out of nowhere. Then the light was remain stable for a few seconds before taking off East. They moved a little faster than a satellite's pace across the sky. And would fly into the same line as one another. So some lights would appear around the same time, wait, and then one by one would take off east and fly in a line. We also saw two lights appear that were very close together, and moved together across the sky without getting closer or further apart. I could almost see the light reflecting onto something! that was between them. It wasn't pitch dark between them the way it was dark on the outsides of the lights. It looked like it was a humongous ship! The distance between the lights was similar to the size of a cargo ship out a few miles off shore. These lights seemed very high up, as the lights were dimmer than the two stars around them, but bright enough to clearly see them and make out the slight details in the big one. They didn't make any noise either. I watched this for a few minutes before running inside to get my girlfriend to come out as well and she also witnessed them. We saw the giant ship together, followed by more of the single lights. This continued on for over 10 minutes before some cloud cover overhead made the lights and stars no longer visible. I tried to get video of it, but I only had my phone on me and the phone couldn't even make out the steady stars let alone the traveling lights. All that's on the video is audio of my girlfriend and I talking about w! hat we saw. Who knows how long this was happening before I saw! it, but I did not see the beginning nor the end of these mysterious UFO's/Lights flying across the sky. It looked something like a fleet arriving one by one from "hyper space" if you will. Like straight out of Star Wars. And it was at a steady random pace, every time I thought it was the end, I'd see a few more appear and then more! Once the cloud covered the event, I had to drive my girlfriend to the bus stop to get her bus to the city. We tried to see more on the drive but the clouds had taken up the sky. The sun then came up and haven't been able to see anything else. I contacted the FAA through an email with the same details from this report. I can let you know if I hear anything from them, and feel free to call or email me with any questions. Thank you.

Over 1 dozen starlike lights traveling west to east very high up in single file formation about 3 seconds apart. No sound could be heard. Some were paired close to each other.

Belgrade, MT
This sighting happened in the Gallatin Valley, east of Belgrade, Montana. On the early morning the 25th, of November, 2019. my wife who is an early riser, was out on the porch smoking a cigarette. The sky was very clear and cold out about 25 degrees. She was looking the stars of the night. When she observed a couple of lights moving across the sky in a spaced out pattern. There became more, which seemed to be popping out of the black space. She felt if she left to wake me up from sleep would be fruitless that they would be gone. Well, they kept coming, and then awoke me from my sleep to see these lights. Well I did see the lights after about 12 of them had already moved on and they just kept coming out of dark space. Just fainter then some of the bright stars, but they kept coming out of the dark up rather high in the sky. No blinking, but much like satellites, they moved off with no sound. A propeller plane was coming by now behind us low and I was hoping they somehow would see this two. This continued for maybe 15- 20 minutes and we counted 40 lights total moving in the same direction toward the Bridger Mtns. and NE.. Twice 2 of these lights popped out at the same time. The best description I can give is like that TV denture cleaning commercial where they pull a string of pearls out of a baked fruit pie, one after another in a very precised spaced out pattern. But the lights appeared out of nothing in the black space. This is not the first time I have seen strange lights, in this area. Also camping in the Beartooth wilderness there are quite a few strange light movements going on.

Charleston Lake (Canada), ON · Canada
This morning I woke up early and decided to go out to my deck to look up at the sky. I sat on a chair and stared up at the beauty of the stars shining over the lake. I noticed a couple of what I thought might be planes flying overhead, I was not sure but thought they may be flying to a nearby airport in Ottawa. But I soon noticed one after the other flying right over my head, in a direct line. After at least 20 flew by, I ran inside the cottage and woke my husband and he got up and came out to see them. By this time another friend heard us and he got up and also witnessed the same thing. They looked like bright lights flying overhead, one after the other and spaced evenly. Every so ofter, two would kind of come together and fly off in the same pattern. Right over our heads travelling east over the lake. I have never seen anything like it. My friend had his phone so he took a picture of the sky, and the flash went off. The sightings stopped right after the fl! ash.

Coon Rapids, MN
Let dog out and noticed how beautiful the starts were. Started watching lights quite a distance away to the east ( 3 to 5) As I watched them they arched to the left on the higher end of the horizon. I noticed one stationary object(Think it may of been Mars due to reddish tint but not sure) The lights followed each other in an arch from low horizon to high and then back down. 5 of them now on the first pass. As I watched the three appeared to become 5. No sound. They vanished from sight. As I took care of my dog, maybe two minutes later I saw the five lights again. They all started doubling into 2 lights each. Before they were gone this time there where 9 lights now with the first one to the tail end being single. Again a few minutes went by after they vanished. They reappeared now. 12 OF THEM. EACH DOUBLED UP OVER THE TOP OF EACH OTHER, THIS TIME MOVING MUCH SLOWER, NOT FALLING BELOW THE HORIZON AND SLIGHTLY LARGER. THEY WERE ALL VERY DEFINED LIGHTS. I COUL! D EVEN SEE THEM CLEARLY WITHOUT MY GLASSES ON FOR A MOMENT. AND THEN THEY WERE GONE!!!

Scottsdale, AZ
Have a really unique view of the McDowell mountains, on Mummy Mountain, up on the mountain, around 1600 ft of elevation. Was looking towards the McDowells, which would be directly Northeast of my view. Looked up and immediately was entranced by 3 very bright and large lights in the sky. Airplanes flying near so I could distinguish between a airplane as plane lights blink but these were not blinking. My glasses weren’t on so they looked blurry, but they also were colorful and rapidly changing light colors. I grabbed some binoculars and looked through, the light would change rapidly from yellow, green, red, blue, etc. The lights were stationary for a couple minutes, maybe 2-3 minutes. Soon they all started moving slowly to the south together, with the lights forming in a triangular formation. They would move and rotate with one another, as if the 3 lights were a point of an invisible triangle rotating in the sky. They all faded out and disappeared after 5 minutes or so. Had my wife look at the lights and she immediately noticed their colors changing as well.

Kapolei (Honolulu), HI
Bicycling in Mililani shortly after sundown. Saw two bright lights over Kapolei. One was much brighter than the other. They were both horizontal over the horizon, at about 6,000 feet if judged in comparison with the Waianae Mountains. Too bright to be a star or planet. Didn't move like a plane.

Chilton, TX
I went out to let the dog out and saw 2 big bright lights in the sky that had never been there before. They just stayed still up in the air. I live in Marlin Texas and it looked to me like they were over Chilton Texas a city about 12 miles away from me. I took some pic of them and watched them for about 10 min they never moved. I went back in the house for about 15 min and came back out and they were gone.

Sarasota, FL
Around 6:05pm on 11/24/2019, my fiance and I witnessed strange lights over the Sarasota mainland. We were sitting on our lanai on Longboat Key looking across Sarasota Bay towards downtown when we noticed the lights. At first we thought approaching aircraft towards SRQ airport, but the lights did not move. I grabbed my binoculars to get a better look. I noticed a straight set of lights, six in total. three on the left in green and three on the right in red. While watching, the green lights turned to a bright blue/white light while the reds stayed constant. After five minutes the lights split and the red lights moved up and above the green lights. Then all the lights just disappeared.

Piedmont, MO
One bright light that at first glance looked to be a star, then noticed it was moving fairly quickly. Movement became very erratic, perhaps twice the width of the light itself, several times per second. Viewed for 15-20 seconds, then went behind tree line. Was unable to locate again after entering vehicle to floow. Looked to be at great height to the east, as viewed from just west of Clearwater Lake, and traveling south.

Durham, NC
Bright yellow-ish light low and much closer than the stars moved quickly in all directions. Went straight up fast when a plane flew by. Plan was much higher. Light stayed in the same area for the 15 minutes that I watched. It continually moved in small increments in different directions.

Boscobel, WI
A string of 30+ evenly spaced objects, like stars, were in a straight line. Heading NE, two to three times faster than the commercial planes visible at the same time. No sound, not blinking, continuously light, heading toward us and going away. Directly overhead. One broke formation and in 90 degrees went SW. One pair few side by side in close proximity to each other. The rest were evenly spaced. Observers were 65 and 30 years old. Construction sales and asset relocation specialist.

Rio, WI
I was sitting in my tree stand in the dark, waiting for the sunrise. It was about 6 AM, and I noticed a distinct line of lights in the sky traveling in a straight line. They were all going SW to NE. They were just lights. There was no sound. They just kept coming. There had to be 40 of them. At one point, I could see that they were being shadowed by another, bigger light off to the side, following them on the SE side of the stream. They seemed too high up to be aircraft. At first, I almost thought they were satellites, but they were traveling in a straight line and there were so many of them. I lost track of them as the sun came up.

Crete, NE
They came from the southwest at high altitude going pretty fast. No marker lights. No shapes that you could distinguish. Just balls of light following each other above usual plane altitude spaced out miles apart going north west in a line.

Ottawa, KS
I live in east central Kansas, at approximately 6:00 I was observing a cloudless sky just before sunrise, admiring the big dipper and I saw a row of lights. I counted 15 at least. perfectly spaced, traveling In a northeastern direction at what must have been a height altitude, no sound and all had matched speeds except for one that’s was offset Slightly from the rest moving faster. I hope more people report.

Marthasville, MO
Warren County Missouri 5:55 AM on Sunday November 24th. While preparing to deer hunt, two hunters noticed a string of bright lights in the Northern part of the sky moving from the West to Northeast. The string of lights were in a straight line and evenly spaced for the most part and crossed the entire early morning sky. It’s difficult to estimate the number of total lights observed but was close to one hundred. Occasionally a second light would parallel the string of lights slightly above the string but at the identical pace. The lights lasted for five to ten minutes after first being observed. As the sun began to rise the lights became fainter but finished crossing the sky prior to sunrise. The lights were very high in the sky and reminded me of when a satellite or the space station goes by.

Springfield, MO
As many as one hundred lights traveling in single file moving in a northeast direction — evenly spaced and only three or four times were they seen in groups of two — all were moving at the same steady speed — there were no colored lights or strobe lights

Looked to southwest sky and seen what I thought was a satellite then another appears then one every five seconds in a straight line for five minutes heading northeast.

Iola, WI
Over 100 "stars" flying overhead in a single file formation with a few flying side by side. The lights were seen by me and my dad and we watched for 5 min before heading into our tree stands. There were more coming when we left.

Reno, NV
At approximately 0530 on 24 November 2019, I observed approximately 10-12 white "stars" moving from the Southwest to the Northeast in a perfect linear formation. All of the "stars" were equally spaced between each other and traveling at a constant speed. There was one "star" on the left flank of the formation approximately 8 "stars" back from the lead "star." There were no blinking lights observed, as they were all a constant star-like coloration. The weather conditions were clear and no sounds were heard. I am a retired military officer (23 years). Based upon my extensive military experience, I am 100% confident that this was NOT a military aviation formation, as the speed of the "stars" and number of craft observed do not support a military aircraft scenario

Kirksville, MO
Lights appeared at 10 o’clock high in sky traveling southwest to northeast. They traveled in mostly straight line formation and made no noise. One of the few not in formation seemed to join each other and become one light. The entire sighting lasted from 0530 to about 0600 and approximately 65 to 85 lights were observed
