Auburn (Lakeland Hills), WA
On the night of May 17th, 2019, at approximately 23:43, I was outside on my back deck in the Lakeland Hills neighborhood. I looked to the west to watch some of the planes taking off to the south from Sea-Tac Airport, when 3 amber/orange colored lights in the shape of a "V" came over the top of my house at probably the same altitude as an approaching aircraft would. The lights moved across the sky very slowly, with the lights remaining constant; no flickering, on/off, pulsing, etc. After roughly 1.5 minutes moving from south to north, they abruptly disappeared in what I would estimate to be probably the Kent or north Auburn area. I didn’t know what to make of it until about 5-10 seconds later the lights returned moving west over the top of the Sea-Tac airport at an unfathomable rate of speed, and within 1-2 seconds the lights disappeared past the horizon.

Cedar Run, PA
It was about 21:45 EST May 17, 2019 one mile SW of Cedar Run, Pennsylvania. I was sitting with my girlfriend at the dinner table listening to the radio getting ready to turn in. We have expansive plate glass windows facing SE offering a good view of the mountain opposite and a good deal of the sky above. It was a largely clear night, moon within 24 hours of full, high in the SW. She told me to look up to the South where I saw a silent highly luminous object (not reflecting but emitting light), the brightest object in the sky, so bright no shape could be discerned save that of any bright source of light (like a star), no larger than a small single engine plane. We watched as it crossed very slowly perhaps no more than a few hundred feet overhead moving in a unerring easterly direction. We exited the house to watch as it passed into the distance in complete silence. At more than a mile’s distance we began to hear the very low rumble of a jet engine, a sound th! at a commercial flight would make very far off on the horizon. To our surprise it was a four engine jet with minimal running lights moving in the same path as that of the still visible object. I say surprising because it was so low; low enough, I dare add, to actually read lettering on the wings if it had any to read in the daylight. It was NOT a commercial airliner - much too low and quiet for that. What’s more, the wings were far up on the fuselage directly behind the cockpit, meaning it was built for speeds beyond that of any commercial craft of that size. It WAS a military aircraft, and it WAS following at roughly the same speed and altitude as the object with no apparent intent to close the distance or intercept this UFO until both slipped over mountain on the eastern horizon.

Panchkula (India) · India
As I stood up for a while to take some rest, i saw a light coming down from the sky. First I thought it was a meteor, I kept looking at it. Two seconds after a long fall from the sky, the light disappeared. Till now everything it meant to me was a meteor. But suddenly , after a pause of a second, the light came and disappeared. It continued to reappear after every second. 5-6 seconds after this whole event, it changed colour from white to blue. The light continued to beep. Now it started a strange motion. Going left , then right as if searching for something, hovering in the sky. When it did not get anything in that area it suddenly got speed and left a red trail behind for approx 3 seconds. The light now shifted to another area. It was heading up towards a tower and continued to beep after every second. The beep I refer is the continued disappearance and reappearance of light. Now it changed its colour to white for at least 5-6 seconds and then again blue. As i got near a tower, it stayed there for a while approximately 6-7 seconds and then it started to faint. The light got dim and completely disappeared. The event, by my approximation happened a mile away. There was no sound that came to me. This event just freaked me out. Also this is not a joke or a hoax to be ignored. Also I can well distinguish between a mysteriously flying object or some laser light. Wishing for your support.

Spokane, WA
At around 10:10 pm, I was on my front porch, when I noticed a strange looking orange pulsating light (star or planet or plane size). It had no noise, usually when planes are seen at that distance you can hear them. Then a second light came out from the same NW place on the horizon (right of Division on the north side for Spokane people). They were both following the same flight pattern and extremely close, heading diagonally to about a 45 degree angle then just disappearing. They originated from the same spot and vanished from the same spot. I continued to watch five more come out at the same spot and vanishing at the same spot during 5 minutes. Then my fiancé came out and saw two more do the same thing. Then we saw two come, one right after the other, from the same spot on the horizon and then just hovered diagonally (about 2 inches apart, if I held my fingers up to measure). Then one slowly disappeared followed shortly by the other. This happens once more an! d I am able to catch a little on video. In total, I saw 9 lights in a course of twenty minutes, all dark orange pulsating, all originating from the same area past the NW horizon.

Belle Fourche, SD
The past 3 nights I've seen a single star-shaped light appear, then fade out. I am familiar with stars and often watch the sky. This star-like light seen three consecutive nights. Low and behold, tonight, in the same spot, as I go out to smoke my pipe, there are 2 lights that appear, one above the other. Both rise slowly, then disappear. Moments later, I saw 4 or five lights in formation flying in that general area, these were flashing. I watched and several lights just disappeared, but one did a circle and flew back from direction it came from. I also heard a jet engine. I wonder if jets were sent to investigate? Why did several 'jets' disappear? Also, I took motorcycle ride yesterday to Alzada Montana then to Hulett, Wy,...I saw two different military-style 'outposts with people inside fenced areas. The second one (100 x 100 feet fenced?) had a amtrak like vehicle with a gun turret? I hear jets flying overhead now 22:12.

Tideswell · United Kingdom
17 lights, spaced fairly evenly apart, all travelling on the same trajectory. There may have been more, I counted 17 from noticing the first one. Brought the wife outside to witness as well. All 17 continued ins straight line, at a steady pace until they disappeared in the distance. As the last one was crossing the sky, a shooting star came over in the opposite direction. Very odd, could have been military aircraft, but 17 is quite a lot. We’re there any large scale military manoeuvres over the UK at this time?

Rocky Point, NC
I was outside walking my dog and saw a bright large orange ball of light high up in the sky. At one point I thought that I could see faint small blue and white lights almost spinning above the orange light. The ball of light began to move erratically up and down and side to side. It almost looked like a video game glitch. I have never seen anything like this before. No airplane moves like that. I ran inside to get my phone to try to record this and by the time I got back outside it was gone without a trace. Nothing else in the sky but stars.

Spokane, WA
At 9:45 PM, my fiancé and I were sitting on our porch, and at 211 degrees SW (on our compass) near downtown/lower south hill of Spokane, a bright orange light appeared within our vision. It was moving too fast to be any plane and there was no noise whatsoever ever. The light looked like it was falling from the sky or falling down towards the horizon. The event lasted around 15 seconds and my fiancé and I both saw it. We knew it was something strange because a meteor would have some kind of tail and be moving much faster. But a plane at that distance could not move that fast.

Clearfield, UT
My boyfriend and I went out to the back patio to get fresh air and we were both looking up at the stars when I noticed what appeared to be lights that were moving across the sky. I thought it was a plane at first but the white lights I saw started doing independent maneuvers from each other so it couldn't be a plane. It looked like they were dancing together across the sky in kind of a snake-like configuration. I asked my boyfriend if he was seeing what I was seeing but by that time the lights had been obscured by neighboring trees.

Pembroke Pines, FL
Three Lights in a Triangular Pattern On Friday, May 10, 2019, at approximately 8:40pm EST, I was leaving my home in Pembroke Pines Florida, 33024, I looked up into the western night sky and noticed three distinct lights forming a triangle. The bottom two lights were approximately 40 degrees above the horizon and separated by approximately 8 inches. The top of the triangle was approximately 60-65 degrees higher than the two lower lights thus forming a triangle. The amber/orange lights were brighter and larger than any stars that I would usually see in my western sky and looked to be about as large as a commercial airplanes landing lights at 2 miles out. As I watched the lower bottom light (south) blinked off leaving the bottom northerly and top lights. I recorded these lights with my iPhone’s video. While viewing the remaining two lights the bottom (north) light flickered out leaving the top light. The lights were stationary and did not visibly move in any direction and I couldn’t tell how far or high they were in the nights sky. I did not hear anything unusual as well. After about a minute the top light flickered out leaving the sky dark. I went into my house, quickly coming back outside and I noticed one light again in the sky and recorded for 28 seconds as it flickered and blinked out. I pulled a pair of binoculars out of my truck to watch this light as well, hoping to see more. Within approximately 5-7 minutes I then noticed many smaller aircraft heading west towards the direction of where the lights were which seemed odd. Facts: • FLL is near but planes do not fly where I saw the lights. • FLL Landing pattern was not full as I was able to view planes landing during and after I saw these lights. • Small County airport (North Perry, KHWO) is close and ceases operations at 9pm. • 4-5 small planes (not Helicopters) were visible heading in the direction of where the lights appeared within 5-7 minutes of the lights vanishing. o Here is a similar video that I found online (different dates, similar location) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO2CRskDV4M • My upload to YouTube: Taken May 10, 2019 at 8:40pm: https://youtu.be/kKeH4lRMnW4

Salta (Argentina) · Argentina
We are a couple and we were going home with our kids. A block before my husband asked me to look to the sky to check if what he was looking up was a plane. As it is almost winter here, it was a night sky black and cloudy. I saw two lights traveling in a line, there were diferent in size: one was white and big, and next to it, a green one, smaller, one of them was flashing. We are not sure which one. It is an ovni? I asked him. He did not answer. I was afraid because I remembered that our planes lights are usually red. As we were staring, the lights went up in a line very fast disapearing on the clouds. Our planes cannot do that kind of movement.

Madison, WI
An extremely bright white light with a halo extending to both sides appeared high in the southern sky around 1:40AM. No other lights, such as stars or planets, were visible because of cloud cover, so it was the only light in the sky. It appeared to be stationary and constant (it did not appear to twinkle). Then around 2:00Am, it vanished. It did not appear to get larger or smaller. It did not go away gradually. One second it was there, then it simply was not there.

Bellingham (Sudden Valley), WA
Three lights come together and disappear. 05/10/2019 01:30 am Sudden Valley, (Bellingham) Wa. 98229 Compass reading (260 degree W.) about 30 degree Altitude. 48,42,44 N / 122,19.44W At 1:30 am early morning I went on my deck to get fresh air. Looking up in the western clear sky. Little dipper appeared to the right. As I looked down and to the left, above the treeline yet higher in the sky, but not too high, appeared three lights, connected together. They looked as if they could be attached to each other? Just a brief, possibly 3-4 seconds and then it appeared to have closed into themselves, but no single light, it just disappeared, lights just turned off. Like turning on a light then turning a light off that quick. These were bright white lights, no color. Sudden valley is very quiet, there was no sounds heard. All three lights, together about the size of little finger nail at arm's length.

Woodbury, MN
Single, very bright, red light (with red glow) flying at very high velocity and rapidly changing direction before flying out of sight. Approximately 1-2K feet above the ground and made no noise. Both my wife and I saw the object and at first thought it was a helicopter until realizing the speed was impossible and the red light was not like any aircraft we had seen in the area. Our bedroom window faces a path to the airport so we are familiar with the look of typical aircraft.
