Fountain, CO
I was looking at the moon and planets. Just east of the moon I seen what I thought was a meteor breaking up into fragments. It traveled from North to south then faded as it seemed to get further. Color of objects is white 10-20 in a semi liner pattern moving together

St. Clair Shores, MI
There was a string of whitish blue lights in single file formation, silently gliding by in the night sky and then disappearing into the clouds. I was able to catch another glimpse of it through a break in the clouds. The formation did not change. The string of lights were heading East over Blossom Heath Park.

Littleton, CO
We were at an outside event when my husband and I watched a line of equally spaced, steadily glowing, white lights in the sky - each light the same and about the size of a bright star - there were about 6-8 lights - traveling slowly and steadily in formation from west to east - viewed for about 1-2 minutes until it disappeared into a low cloud. No associated sound/noise. No craft/object seen.

I was out in the early morning and it was still very dark. I was walking my two dogs in the Apple Orchards in the village. I looked up at the sky and was startled to see a perfectly straight line of lights moving across the sky in a West to East Direction. I could not hear any noise associated with the lights. I observed the lights moving across the sky for about 10 mins until they moved out of range of sight. I had never seen anything like this before. The lights looked as if they were quite close together and they were white in color. My two dogs reacted to the event as they both started to bark and their ears were pricked up which i found unusual

Putting out the bins at 07.10 looking up at a clear dark sky decided to get my glasses(short sighted).I first saw a bright dot travelling from north to south saying to myself thats a satellite.Next another one 3 seconds later and then for about 40 minutes in sequence a number of travelling dots(as high as a plane would travel)After every 5 or so there would be two dots travelling one behind the other and this happened about 3 times. I have never seen this before and just wondering what these could be , They didnt seem like planes too close together, satellites maybe, birds at that height i dont think so, very strange.

Tangent, OR
My girlfriend spotted a bright orange light in the sky through the window and called me over to look at it. We sat there and watched it for about 30 minutes and it appeared it was going up and down in elevation. All of a sudden the light start to appear to go further and further away. The light got dimmer then, almost straight out of a movie, the light appeared to Shrink and elongate, and shoot off into space leaving a sort of dust cloud as it took off, we sat there in absolute disbelief of what we just saw. We were both trembling and had no idea what to do or how to react. We sat there for quite sometime and kept looking out the window, about 40 min to an hr past and we decided to get back in bed. As we were climbing into bed she looks over and sees the orange light returning. I got a terrible feeling in my stomach and tell her to stay in bed and not to go back to the window. We sit there and watch it again for about 20 minutes or so. She decided to get up and go to the window and record the light. We try to zoom in on it but the quality isn’t the best. She records it for about 15-20 minutes but it stay put and does nothing. It’s now almost 6am. And we decide to go to bed. When we wake up we decide to look at the video she recorded and what we saw was beyond belief. The orange light appears to exploded and turn into a rubix cube type figure. It appears to have point folding in on eachother. We didn’t know we captured it on video until we rewatched the footage.

at o6:15 this morning my wife was putting out the garbage bin and looked up. She saw a line formation of 'objects' high in the atmosphere. She called me to have a look as well. When I had jopined her outside I saw the last three. The 'objects were in a straight and uniformed line. It was travelling in a North Easterly direction from where we live. This would be towards Scandinavia. The display lasted approximately four to five minutes as the formation had travelled out of our eye sight. The speed appeared to be like that of a jet. However, the distance it appeared to be would suggets the formation was anything but. There was no noise of fancy flashing lights. We feel priviledged to have witnessed this event.

I was sitting at the outside lounge of the resort me and my husband were staying in . I was looking at the sky full of stars, when at the split second straight above my head in the sky 5 very bright lights starting moving together, they formed like boomerang shape and started soaring across the sky with pretty high speed. The whole event was lasting maybe 1.5-2 seconds.

Independence, Belize
About 8 object flying low in a V formation going west to east. No sounds heard, some of the lights moved around the rear of the formation. Moved too ffast to be birds. Belize dose not have any military are craft that would explain it and no local commercial flights fly at night other than international flights but those typically fly north to south.

We watched a string of objects that looked like stars about the brightness of Orion’s belt. They were moving north over Puget sound. They seem to be in pairs or groups of three but pretty much all in a straight line. They moved quickly and silently across the sky. We first saw them somewhere in the middle of the line that disappeared to our right off to the north. There was one That appeared out of the eastern sky and turned north to join the procession. We watched them traveling north until they disappeared out of sight. We would love to know if anybody else has seen this or knows what we saw.

Keizer, OR
Night sky, clear, and 43f. Lots of stars. I was at work, in the warehouse yard looking at the big dipper. As my gaze dropped I picked up movement of a solid white light, no blinking, as you do when seeing a satellite. I even said to myself look a satellite. Then I observed a second light, same altitude, and along the same path SSW to NNE. So I thought a military flight. As I continued to observe, I saw a third, fourth and Fifth solid none blinking lights along the same flight path. I then thought a whole military squadron. I continued counting and I counted up to 80+ white lights or objects continue the flight path SSW to NNE. They kept a realitively equal distance apart, but several where grouped by twos and took on a closer wing man type formation. Three changed direct to a more East flight path away from the rest. I observed a point in the night sky that the objects seemed to appear out of a single point of blackness.

Cedar Rapids, IA
I was driving and saw a line of lights floating in the sky. I pulled over to get my phone out to start recording a video so I can make out what is was. Then it started moving slowly and it went over my car and I couldn’t make out the shape all I saw was lights, a line of lights over the Cedar River. Each light would go in and out. It definitely wasn’t a plane or any craft I seen. Line of lights started moving when I started to record.

At 6:19am on 10/14/2020 I walked out of my house and looked at the sky to see if the sunrise had started yet as I was getting ready to have my morning coffee before work, and I observed 6 craft flying north/northwest, flying in unison, each about an inch apart by my view (obviously much farther apart). I heard no sound and all I could see with my naked eye was six white lights. After about 10 seconds the formation broke left (which to me was west, they broke from flying northwest to west generally though still slightly north, and they flew toward the sky instead of flying parallel to the horizon as they were). They appeared to speed up and after about 5 seconds they were gone, out of my sight. They moved faster flying away after the veer than they were generally, but overall they were traveling very fast. About a half hour later I looked outside and saw a contrail of sorts, perhaps a jet chasing the crafts...the contrail went in the same direction as I last ! saw the crafts.

Woke up at 5:45 to let out the dog. Looked up to notice the sliver of moon and Mars looking very bright to the lower right. Suddenly I noticed a line of lights like patio lanterns going silently across the sky in a north easterly direction. I watched it for a while, then raced up stairs to wake up my wife to witness the sight. She saw the very last of the line of lights disappearing into the horizon.

At 6:00 am I looked to the sky and saw a long formation of what looked like stars. It was a line of glowing craft in a tight formation. It moved slowly to the southeast towards Redding, Calif. without breaking formation.

Bluffton, SC
Last night around 20:50 pm, I heard a very loud noise that sounded like a heavy truck, i.e., (garbage or cement truck). It was so loud that I went and opened my door to see what was going on. I didn’t see anything at eye level, so I looked up to the sky. It was past my house, just to the left of me, moving quite fast and the noise continued. Appearance. Looked like either a huge plane or a tricycle, the back wheels had blue lights, in the front had red flashing lights.

New Bedford, MA
On Friday night, I observed four lights that appeared to fly in formation across the city, south to north. After attempting to take some photos, I began to follow the lights as best I could. After about a mile, the lights disappeared. The lights were in a 2x2 formation and stayed at the same altitude the entirety of my sighting. I am an aviation enthusiast and typically watch the skies. We have a regional airport in the city with small commercial aircraft, business jets, and personal aircraft. This night I had been watching some of the planes from the school circling in the pattern. Unlike those known aircraft, these lights did not have any positional strobes and were not in the pattern for the airport. When returned from my chase, my coworker was returning and reported seeing the same lights but he was further south when he first spotted them.

Davis, OK
My boyfriend and I were visiting my family where I grew up. My family lives in the country, about 6 miles outside of town. We were outside letting the dogs out, and we were looking at the eastern part of the sky. We saw what looked to be the Little Dipper, but the stars were moving extremely slow down in the sky. After about 1 minute of watching the set of stars move downward, they suddenly burst away from one another and started flying erratically in different directions, and some even changed colors from a white color to more of a green/white color. For about 10-20 seconds, we watched them move about in said manner, and then they flew away in different directions back up into the sky where they were no longer visible.

I was taking video of the morning harvest moon. upon reviewing the video I discovered 5 objects in the formation of a pentagon in the sky. I went back out after reviewing the video the formation was gone but where it was a huge streaking object was barreling across the entire horizon. I have video of both events.

Star formation taking place with jumps through triangle. Same old stuff they jump through time to keep the governments in control. Nothing new except I see a distant search light in the horizon. Seems odd but never the less nothing has changed. Just the way they like it .

Chico, CA
Caught my attention when I noticed two unusually bright "stars" moving slowly and in unison across the sky. When I looked directly at it, I could see that the "stars" were actually lights on either end of a craft. in between the two bright lights was a row of very dim lights on the body of the craft. these lights were so dim that i could not see the outline of the craft if i looked directly at it: too dim to be picked up with my cones. but i could make out the craft attached to those two bright lights with my peripherals. My roommate also saw it and he said there are no drones that look like that. It was 1/3 to 1/2 the size of cassiopia in the sky. If it were a 747 then it would have just taken off. that is how large it appeared in the sky. of course, it was mostly likely much higher than 10,000 feet because of how hard it was to make out the form of it and the fact that it was completely silent (meaning that it was probably a very very large craft). What i saw was the back end of the craft, because as I watched it the lights moved north slightly but mainly those two bright lights on the ends got dimmer and closer together until they disappeared, meaning the ship was flying higher and higher in the sky until it was no longer seen. the lights were still quite far apart when they faded completely from view. all of this from when i first saw it to when it disappeared took about 8 seconds. The silence of such a large and obnoxious thing comparatively low in the sky and the way in which it moved is what made me stop to write this report. I have no way of explaining that at all. I am sure there are planes out there with weird shapes i have never seen, but silent ones that move straight up in the sky? any aircraft I know would have made a ton of noise that close to the ground, and they move across the sky. not up. I don't know of any craft with light formations like that, or that can move straight up into the sky like that. I have never seen the alien autopsy, don't watch any of those cable channels, never had much of an interest in UFOs really... but either our government has some pretty fancy top secret spy planes or I have no idea what I just saw. For the next half hour, the same or another craft was flying around in the same general vicinity. At first, a single light high in the sky in exactly the spot where the craft had disappeared. Of course, it could have been the front end of the tail I had seen a few minutes earlier, now coming back down. Just that now it was a single light and I couldn't make out any craft. The first time I saw the light it went from faint to extremely bright then turned off entirely. Then, a few minutes later (maybe ten) I saw a light again, much higher in the sky, and it came on and off periodically and moved across the sky as if attached to a very high flying plane going 500mph at 30,000 feet. It moved differently than the first light. More like a very high flying plane - across the sky as one would expect. It was not a satellite - way too close for that. It was now moving just like a plane or something. If I had to guess, the first bright and disappeared light was the same unidentified cra! ft I saw earlier. It did not move like anything I know and was silent. The second moved like any other normal airplane - across the sky - save only that I could not hear anything in the sky when I should have been able to. If it was the same craft, then it went way up in the sky, way back down again, then up a little bit more and then across the sky.

Several shape shifting lights in formation at times above Old Hickory Lake for about 90 minutes or better. At times the lights would pulsate above the grey clouds and form pyramid or boomerang shapes in formation and then light blue-ish green lights would pulse. At times it would shoot across the sky and cast orb like shapes and fly above the lake in circles in the sky.

it started as three hovering, bright gold/white lights in a triangle formation just above Snohomish river/farmland. One became dim after 15 mins and took off to the south. Then the next left going south as well. One remained stationary and finally a new one appeared out of no where. It remained stationary with the 3rd light and then both became dim and moved off South. No clouds seen or airplane noises. Stars and planes were visible during the entire episode.
