Edgerton, MO

We saw a flashing red light inside the trees. Then the whole area light up like in multiple colors. It was a huge spinning circle of lights. These flying objects have been coming to my property every night. I am terrified.

Rollinsville, CO

I was elk hunting in the mountains near Rollinsville, CO on Monday the 25th of September. At around 2110 hours, I stepped outside of the cabin to brush my teeth. It was a clear dark night with all the stars visible. I was looking at the big dipper when I saw 6 or so rectangular lights appear in a linear formation equidistant apart. They were moving west to east at commercial airliner cruising altitude but faster. I watched them for about 5 seconds or so then they started to disappear one by one. Unfortunately, it happened too fast for me to retrieve my cell phone and take a picture or video. An investigator can contact me if they wish. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

Hammonton, NJ

I’m from Florida, and familiar with starlink. Naturally, I assumed it was starlink at first. But this line of lights was not as many, and disappeared one by one. It only lasted 1or 2 min max. By the time we drove out from under trees it was gone. I tried to take pictures, but couldn’t get them without the flash hitting the windshield. I took two. They are terrible photos. But the last remaining light, clearly has a small light shining down under it. Not the blur from the street lights, a light coming out from under it. I looked up starlink in this area of south NJ and it says there isn’t any to be seen within the next 5 days. I would not report a starlink, as I’m familiar with them.

Taylor, ND

The whole day I was just feeling eerie id look around me a lot just had that feeling I was being watched. I also kept hearing whistles and it sounded different than a bird it was like a deep long whistle, but I didn’t think into it. I wanted to finish cutting this alfalfa so I stayed into the night and at the same time as the sun was setting I noticed these lights directly east, but the bottom one was not directly under the other it was kinda ahead summed it up to be a phone pole just so I didn’t freak out because I know there is one by the shop, but the shop was directly south east of where I was and the lights were straight east not long after these lights moved south over this big hill and got a whole lot brighter I started hauling ass to my pickup got to my pickup and got to the section line that goes to the road and started taking videos and a little red light appeared out of bum fuck nowhere exactly where I was. I went to go clock out and noticed these lights were directly ahead of me and they went around the shop out of my sight. I took a pic of shop because I’m a scared 18 y/o girl everything was running though my head. As I left the lights were now heading north of the phone pole. A few days later went through all the videos and you can clearly see odd faces and bodily shapes in this completely empty field and one is even seen moving out of the video frame. And the photo I took to clock out you can see a perfect shadow nothing in the shop even relatively is body shaped let alone tall enough to make a shadow. Mind you the farm I work at is all old people and one middle aged guy who are all either drunk or in bed by 9pm. I wasn’t gonna report until I went back with a friend at night to see if the lights were there and almost the exact thing happened but lights appeared and disappeared at different places on two different nights.

Shoreview, MN

There were faded orange orbs 7 to 10, above the 694 highway 10 feet above the street lights. Hovering. They did not move and did not have a blinker or a true formation. Some were evenly spaced and other random. Thought they may be drones but 7 to 10 and no blinking. I turned on police scanner and no reports. I tried calling Shoreview dispatch and was disconnected. I was driving 65 mph and I didn't appear the other drivers were interested as when I looked up I was all over the road.

Pine city, MN

Not starlink. A solo, slow moving, star like object starts moving across the sky. It leaves a faint bluish trail behind it, also stationary star like objects spaced closer together at the start of trail and spaced farther apart towards the end. The only thing that moved was whatever the bright object was that created the trail. Its length was about 3 moons wide. It looked like a straight line of a finished connect the dots picture, due to the faint bluish light that connected each stationary object. I’m not sure if each 8 to 10 objects were a single object or separate because all objects disappeared at the same exact time. Completely different from how they had initially appeared.

Fairfield, CA

The above linear formation of orbs floated above me in the evening consisting of 10 orbs in a line equidistant from each other. Also seemed to have colorful tints to them. After watching them for no more than a minute: they looked disappeared as if the dissolved into the night sky. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

St.Thomas, PA

We were standing on our back porch watching in awe as dozens of tiny red and white flashing lights zoomed across the sky into triangle formations releasing what seemed to be smaller red blinking dots. The lights were moving at least 10,000 miles per hour disappearing and reappearing almost at random. We heard cows screaming at one point which is strange because we do not live near any cows. While admiring this sight they all suddenly disappeared and didn't show back up. Before that happened one of the lights moved at least 25,000 mph away from something almost as though it was fleeing. This object seemed to be larger and brighter than the other ones. I also felt a presence of being watched.

Jacksonville, FL

We walked outside and we could see all the stars more than usual. On the left hand side of the Big Dipper, there was a formation of stars in completely geometrical vertical line once we started asking eachother if we were seeing the same thing it began to move still within a line formation but it appeared like they were missiles coming at us. We let off a firework or two once we realized they were coming towards us because we were outside for Labor Day. Once we lit off two or three they stopped coming forward and got back into a line above our heads and then disappeared one by one. Now im not sure if this was starlink as there was a launch 3 hours after this happened but I doubt it due to the way they were moving like projectile missiles at us. i have seen starlink before and it was not like this. We tried to video the event but it wasn't showing up in the video, the fireworks didnt even show up in the video. It was spooky. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

The 4 lights appeared stationary and silent. One light seemed to dim occasionally. They were forming a square directly over the downtown area. I drove a little further to (3min drive ) Monterrey square and got out and saw them still in the same spot and no noise. I was working so I couldn’t stay abs watch.

Corcoran, CA

While fishing Friday night I saw a green streak in the sky. I WAS AMAZED after I realized it was moving and traveling across the sky. The craft traveled in a straight line formation and stayed the exact distance from each other as they streaked across the sky. There was around 8-12 craft following a line one behind the other. They were traveling North and they were coming from the direction of the Naval Air Station Lemoore which struck me as odd. It could have been something from the airbase but I have never seen planes in the sky from this area that seemed so strange. They glowed green and appeared as a green streak in the sky. There was no sound at all coming from the sky and was one behind the other in a row. I have seen planes fly in formation but it was side by side or v formation, never in a straight line like this. I could not tell how far away they were but they must have been high in the atmoshpere [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

Jensen Beach, FL

I was walking along the beach when I noticed a bright slashing light in the mid sky moving SE no crazy speed but steady. I went to take a video but my camera wouldn’t pick up anything and I believe that they were bright enough to have showed up on the screen but I got nothing. They were there about 35 seconds before disappearing one by one behind or into a small cloud and they were all gone. I am still in shock it was pretty wild to see!

El Higo, VERACRUZ · Mexico

Translated from original report in Spanish: Se avistaron Una serie de órbitas de luz (6 destellos) cruzaron a través del cielo nocturno, desde un horizonte hasta el otro. Lo más cercano a como lo podría describir es que se veía como cuando en las grabaciones aceleradas del planeta de ve registra el movimiento de las estrellas como líneas de luz que cruzan el cielo. En cuanto pasó dicho acontecimiento, se fue la luz en el poblado y algunos motores se descompusieron.

Islamabad Capital Territory, Pakistan

I'm a commercial airline pilot for a Canadian airline with over 10,000hrs of flight time, but I've never seen something quite like this before... We were flying from Pakistan to Afghanistan at 32,000ft (a lower altitude than usual for us due to turbulence at higher altitudes) along the standard commerical airliner route through the Himalayas. We observed three to four bright lights at very high altitude moving in an orbital pattern initially and then they slowly transitioned to a vertical diamond-shaped formation (two high and two low moving up and down ) The position of the lights and the intensity of the illumination was curious because the altitude appeared to be very high (at least twice our own) however the intensity of the light was much brighter than you would expect viewing from that distance. (The same intensity as if we were viewing landing lights of another aircraft from quite close) If these were military aircraft, it is unlikely that they would be operating with lights on, and if they were it certainly wouldn't be that bright. There is a possibility that the light was afterburner glow from fast manoeuvring fighters but again, operating constantly in full afterburner is unusual. The movement of these craft was also very rapid from point to point and irregular (darting back and forth). There were times the light appeared to come to a dead stop, but this may have been an optical illusion created by depth perception as the lights moved further away. After 15-20 minutes of observation, the lights moved off rapidly towards the Chinese border with Tajikistan and faded into the night. We did not attempt to query ATC since we were operating in an area between several volatile countries (Pakistan, Afghanistan, China) and we did not want to instigate military action. We also failed to make any official report upon returning home as there is no mechanism to do so (as far as I'm aware) as a Canadian Air Operator.

Marion, VA

At first I thought it was a bright satellite. Like ISS bright. Then another came behind it. After that one three more. See the attached pic for an approximation. The first one was a bit ahead of the other four. The trailing four were equally spaced apart. I loaded Stellarium to see what satellites they were but there was nothing at that particular time. So either I saw new sats go over that I've never seen before (highly unlikely), or I saw something else. There was no sound from aircraft engines. This was not a Starlink chain. They were too large, too fast, only 5 of them, and the distance from the first to last covered too much of the sky.

Malibu, CA

At around 920pm, I was outside approximately 200 feet from the beach when I looked up and noticed a long string (approximately 30 lights) of round, white lights, all the same size, traveling south. They were moving at a farily quick pace. As I watched the lead light reach a certain point over head, it disappeared. Each light behind it also disappeared when it reached the same point. There was no mistaking these lights for aircraft and they were completely silent. It took about a minute for the entire chain to completely disappear. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]
