Hamilton (Canada), ON · Canada
We were sitting on the balcony enjoying the weather, there were a few clouds but no moon yet. We both simultaneously saw a collection of orange lights about the brightness of stars (but brighter than you can normally see in this city due to light pollution) and flying in a loose group from behind the trees in the eastern sky, continued to fly upward and towards the north like a fleet. After a minute or two they seemed to form into a straight line and we'd see more joining from behind the trees, but eventually they all blinked or faded out as they got further north. I managed to view them up close in the binoculars but all I could see was an orb or disc-like shape, single light each, definitely not regular planes. I later found the Phoenix lights when doing research and they were somewhat similar but a lot smaller.

Halifax (Canada), NS · Canada
three bright red lights in a row hovering over the city of halifax on the night of September 7th and then again on the 8th. Both between the hours of 9pm-11:30pm. Still currently watching it now at 10:28pm Sept 8th. Yesterday it was over one part of the city and this night it started a little farther to the left of where it was last night, but then slowly moved back and rotated a bit. When I took photos and videos to nignt the image showed almost a beam or something coming from the object down on to the city

Grantsville, MD
3 objects in line with each other that were square shaped with triangle shaped lights going back and for between them. All 3 larger objects were in motion but stayed in formation. The smaller ones were slightly streaking when in motion. Got pics of both shapes. One of the squared objects turned bright blue for a while.

Fayetteville, NC
My husband and I were at a red light on Owen Dr. in Fayetteville, NC awaiting to turn left onto 301. We both witnessed several lights appear in the night sky at once. Strangely, the lights were moving left to right, down then up, as well as disappear then randomly reappear in strange formations. At times they would stop and stay in place and then suddenly move into perfect lines/shapes/etc. No sound accompanied the lights and total were visually consistent for around 7 minutes. Then all together they disappeared. Definitely not an aircraft although we did see an aircraft after the fact with searching lights and moving super slow and appeared to be in search.

Evanston, WY
Fires burning out uintas, seen one object shooting star like that entered atmosphere and left quickly. The other three were hovering pretty high in the atmosphere going left right and up and down. Then there were searchlights looking from the ground up in the sky, like they were looking for something in the sky.

Dubuque, IA
On September 3, 2020, we noticed formations of what appeared to be 50+ round shiny objects that illuminated and dimmed randomly in the sky. Some would disappear while others maintained some kind of formation. We didn’t think much of it until we saw the TV series Skinwalker Ranch in which similar things were seen in the sky. The formation would change shape to a message-like arrangement (as seen in the video), then to clusters and then into a donut-like shape with a clearing in the middle. This phenomenon lasted 10-15 minutes. It would disappear all together and then reappear at different places in the sky not far from the original place they disappeared from. As the formation was going on in the sky there was also a bright flash of light that appeared for only a split second. We were watching for several minutes and had witnessed so many unusual things in the sky that we didn’t know what to expect next. Then we saw the unidentified formation of objects form a ball-like cluster and then slowly fly away from us completely horizontal in the sky until they disappeared all together. We would love to know if these objects can be explained! We can’t understand what we saw!

La Quinta, CA
Was outside looking up at the full moon and two white lights passed overhead from NW to SE. Initially thought they were Starlink, one behind the other (if you held your fist overhead apart) as I've seen Starlink before; but their speed and brightness caught my attention (brighter than any satellite I've ever seen and the brightest in the sky at the time especially with the full moon and local light pollution). In my field of view due to trees for only an estimated 3 seconds which would mean they went from horizon to horizon in less than 20 seconds.

Dublin (Ireland) · Ireland
UFO sighting by a 48 year old sceptic Date Sunday 30 August 2020 Time 0130 +-15mins Location Dublin,Ireland Atmospheric conditions- exceptionally clear - thousands more stars were visible than normal. I live in a quiet suburb of Dublin, Ireland, in a house with a south facing garden. I am sceptical by nature, always seeking scientific explanations for anything unusual or unexplainable At approx 130am, while taking in the cat from our garden, I noticed the night sky was fantastically clear. The suburb I live in has dark skies (for a city) but that evening was crystal clear with thousands more stars visible than normal. After a minute or so looking up and admiring the unusually clear night sky. 6-8 lights in a fixed equidistant X shaped array passed overhead very quickly in a straight line on a direct West to East axis direction. The lights were about as bright as the stars, no brighter, so quite faint. No noise. Passed over very very quickly. About 2-3 seconds from visible horizon to horizon. Much Faster than a plane or satellite. Slower than a meteorite. And constant brightness (no flare or fade like a meteorite). Thought it might be a drone formation given the quick passover speed but it is quiet where we live and there was absolutely no noise so couldn’t be a drone or a plane. About a minute later two more similar lights passed overhead in an identical path and speed. Keeping same fixed distance between each other. Then approx a minute or two later, two more lights passed in same trajectory/speed, except this time one of the lights appeared to be dancing with the other - moving closer, further, closer from the other light, like it was playing with it! Never seen anything like it and got me thinking it was some kind of high altitude meteorological phenomena or hypersonic craft or satellite orbit but I watch the night skies frequently (very amateur astronomer) and I know a satellite flyby is much slower. I was amazed. And got me thinking perhaps Bob Lazar might actually be telling the truth! Were there any other sightings reported around that time? Happy to correspond by email

Welland (Canada), ON · Canada
I was out to get pizza from Little Caesars and I noticed three lights in a triangle formation over Niagara falls Ontario. I live in Welland west of Niagara falls Ontario, Canada. The lights were flying North West towards the Moon disappearing and then reappearing Southeast.they would slowly drift towards the moon disappear then reappear Southeast in the sky and then drift back towards the moon the lights reappeared about five times and every time they would fly north west towards the Moon.

North Myrtle Beach, SC
At about 4:00 AM, I took my dogs outside to go pee. I live less than a mile from the North Myrtle Beach coastline. Facing south, I saw 8-10 lights in a formation shaped like a 3 or sideways “m” heading west and disappearing behind trees. The lights moved almost like a flock of geese and it was completely silent. All of the lights were white. My dogs started barking and one was behaving erratically after I saw the lights. I saw something similar back in May.

Glendora, CA
On August 25, 2020, between 20:14 and 20:45 hours, several people on the “neighborhood watch-Glendora, San Dimas La Verne” facebook group from Glendora, San Dimas, La Verne, the Santa Fe Dam in Irwindale and even Alta Loma saw a formation of white circular lights, 20 in all in a vertical-smile formation. Another witness in Alta Loma reported seeing a fireball type object in the sky around the same time, as well as a transformer explosion in La Verne.

I observed a straight line of 10-15 lights that resembled stars, spaced evenly apart traveling towards the east. They then went out of sight near the moon and venus.

Mission (Canada), BC · Canada
I was taking out the garbage before I had to leave for work in 10 min. At 4:25 am, I looked up as I always do on a perfect clear skies, and what caught my eye was that I seen like a perfect row if lights, 15-20 on a perfect straight line, and I thought they where in orbit. They where moving slow enough that I ran in to house, grab phone, but couldn't see the lights in ski on phone. But if in orbit, traveling maybe 5000 miles a hour, and perfect spaced out, about a inch apart from ground looking up. And I thought flares, but they didnt drop, kept going direction from north west to south east and kept going same speed till I couldn't see them no more. Staying up in orbit, my boss at work said could have been the asteroid things happening this week, but they traveling way to slow to he a asteroid or shooting star. I seen it for 4 min, not burning out, not flashing, just moving in perfect line perfect formation. Wierd, could have been a bunch of satellit! es liveing like this same time,I doubt that. So many if them.

Was walking through Golf course during run with my boyfriend when I saw six small star like orbs In a line slowly moving across the sky, fading off one by one. They were similar in distance as the stars in Orion’s Belt. They were gone and I could not find them again after they faded.

Thunder Bay (Canada), ON · Canada
While watching to see perhaps a meteor shower, my eyes noticed a formation of 10 lights in a straight line moving at a rather fast pace and definitely not a group of birds as they line maintained straight travel from a North to East. At about 30 seconds of viewing , one light broke formation and looped back to the direction the lights came from and disappeared. The other lights continued on and within 60 seconds I could no longer see them. I’m 52 years old and was amazed as I’ve never seen anything like it. The lights were like stars.

Victoria (Canada), BC · Canada
I viewed two rows of bright objects in the sky (not quite as bright as the ISS (-2.5) but about that size). There was eight objects in total (4 sets of 2). ________________________________________ O O O O O O O O _________________________________________ These objects were moving uniformly (as one unit) ENE. The objects were not like shiny stars but rather looked like what a satelite looks like in the sky. They were moving quite fast as they appeared about 80 degrees and faded from sight around 25 degrees, all in under 5 seconds. My wife and I were viewing the meteor shower and were shocked to see such a magnificently perfect sight.

I was out watching the meteor shower when I noticed along the bottom of the skyline something that looked like an ant trail of lights in perfect formation maybe 10 of them I'm not sure how many I didn't count them I was to busy trying to figure out what I was seeing they looked light dashes or minus signs they didn't blink but stayed solid white light no hazeiness to them I stood for approximately 5 minutes watching them go from west to east in two straight rows without sound then all at once they shot straight up and disappeared.my cat was pushing against my legs and then running away he did it multiple times yowling as if to say run

Filer, ID
00:58 08/12/2020. While sitting outside in my backyard with one other person to observe the meteor shower (which was awesome). I was the first to notice 1 set of 2, rectangular shaped lights (similar shape description of an led lightbar) gliding parallel to one another in complete silence. Dim glowing, at the same time also very pro dominant in color, at a steady almost a translucent. The fast moving object(s) seemed to be too low, and almost too big to be quiet and too “out of place” to compare to anything I’ve ever seen in the sky before. I observed the formation(s) shortly after clearing the shadows of the treetops in the west at approximately 280 degrees. I pointed it out to my family member as it glided in a straight line across the entirety of the nights sky, completely parallel to each other and seemed to glow more contrast to the sky the more it traveled toward the horizon. We watched it until we lost sight at approximately 82 degrees East. Du! ration of the event was about 10- 15 seconds.

Sundance Resort, UT
Eating dinner on the deck and stargazing facing E/SE, suddenly saw 3 white lights in an upright triangle formation to the left of Saturn/Jupiter. The lights faded one at a time. We guessed there were satellites...or someone having a good time with drones (?)
