Standing outside with a friend I looked up and saw a large group of light moving together but not equidistant north to south above us crossing the sky. We excitedly told a table of four to get over here ufo! As they moved on, fist one then a second stopped and were static blending in as stars. The others kept moving. Then suddenly the two that stopped sped up to the others. Their light green to light red lights slowly faded as they turned west.

Lockport/Romeoville, IL
I was doing food delievry late at night to Lockport,IL from Romeoville at a little after 2am and I saw a string of lights low in the sky about 12-14 all in a row very close together. I have seen the starlink satellites before and these were much brighter and low in the sky below the clouds. It almost looked like a straight line of lights with a very small space imbetween like a straight line of lights lower than an airplane would fly. When I turned at the intersection I tried to look back and I couldn't see them anymore.

I saw a long white linear formation going down the sky at night, very slowly fell or went across sky to the East. I thought it was a meteor but it was too slow. I quickly got binauculars and it looked like linear object with white round lights. It was bigger than diameter of moon. no noise produced or crash heard. it continued in straight line toward horizon maybe towards Joint Base Lewis McCord until the trees blocked further view. maybe a deflated weather balloon reflecting light from moon?

I Was sitting outside enjoying the night sky. I looked to the north and saw ufo's in a formation. They were a very bright solid white color. They were moving slow at first then they took off at a very high speed. I went in to get my phone so I could get pictures but when I got back outside the objects were gone.

I WENT OUT TO WALK THE DOGS AND STARTING APPEARING IN A LINE FOLLOWING EACH OTHER FROM THE WEST TO THE EAST, IN FORMATION AT ABOUT THE SAME DISTANCE FROM EACH OTHER. THEY TURNED AND HEADED NORTH AND BACK TO THE WEST AND DISAPPEARED. THEY WERE ALL ALLUMINATED IN WHITE TO A PINK COLOR AND MADE NT SOUND AT ALL. AT THE POINT THAT THEY TURNED BACK WEST I COULD SEE ANOTHER CRAFT WITH GREEN BLINKING LIGHST COMING FROM THE NORTH, HIGHER THEN THE CRAFTS AND DOWN TO WHERE THE CRAFTS STATED TURNING BACK TO THE WEST. I WAS AS IT WAS DIRECTING THE OTHERS CRAFTS THAT WAS MUCH BIGGER. THEN THEY ALL JUST DISAPPEARED. I RETIRED FROM THE ARMY WITH 32 YEARS (ACTIVE AND RESERVE) AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN AN CRAFT LIKE THIS WITH NO SOUND AT ALL.

Anderson, SC
The sides/edges of the object(s) continued to disappear and re-appear translucently, as if light were refracting around edges- object(s) appeared to refract light with the translucent parts having a different index of refraction, at different intervals (you could see 1 side, then you couldn't, then you could see another side (translucently), then you couldn't, etc.), indicating visual light behavior having characteristics of birefringence. No discernable lights. Object(s) were ~ >1 mile away (either varying sizes or varying distances from point of view). Observed for approximately 45 minutes (object(s) remained after observation ended). When describing ephemeral sides/edges of the object as translucent: Not milky, similar to hot exhaust, or predator camouflage from movie Predator (great performance by Arnold) and to reiterate, clearly with discernible edges and in formation, not gas-like, in regards to related phenomenon. Implied (s) in object(s) to indicate multiple objects or one object emitting instances of other objects open-ended (similar to non-human versus extraterrestrial denotation). Birefringence is the optical property of transparent, molecularly ordered materials that causes light to split into two rays. The two rays are called the ordinary ray and the extraordinary ray. The extraordinary ray is bent at an angle as it travels through the material.

I got home from work early in the AM and looked up at the sky. I noticed a small cluster of white orbs which I thought were stars at first. I noticed they would get bright then dissapear and reappear anywhere from 10-15 seconds. They were pretty high up with in a formation that resembled and arrow. 2 in a straight line going up and 3 that formed the “arrowhead” I watched them for about 15 minutes. They did not move far and to me it looked like the 2 that were in a straight line would hover closer then farther away from each other. I also noticed a few shooting stars the same night.

Vancouver Island (Canada), BC · Canada
I was outside at about 3:10 AM, on an island north west of Seattle. Looking north - up at the sky - there was a bright star obviously a great distance away. Also, at what appeared to be at a similar distance was an interesting object. Had a look at the object as it just sat there for a couple of minutes before changing shape slightly. It was definitely a huge distance away, and very long. The object seemed to consist of maybe 15 to 20 round lights clustered together to form a lightening rod shape at first, then a straight line. I compared the size of one of the lights to the star and it seemed that they were of similar size. The lights were very near together but could see space between them at the top and bottom. There were many of these lights and they could be compared to the star, as the object sat. I walked away to place something indoors and the object was gone -but not the planet - when I returned.

I was watching the stars with some friends over a campfire, the sun was going down but it was not too dark yet. Clear skies. What seemed like out of nowhere in the middle of the sky I seen 5 to 6 orange-ish balls/orbs that formed an arrowhead, flying right to left in the sky. The colors of the balls reminded me of the sky when the sun is setting, the orange/pink/red hues. They were below cloud level, and faster than a plane but made no noise. The balls kind of bounced and bobbed but stayed in formation. There was absolutely no light to them, and were not bright. They almost looked see-through. I watched for a few seconds before I told anyone trying to figure out what it was then when I realized what was happening I quickly told my friends to look but the orbs were already dissipating. No-one else was able to see them

Lethbridge (Canada), AB · Canada
Went outside and saw 6 huge triangle shapes blocking the sky above it. The were in a diagonal formation heading North. They were low flying, looked large enough to be 6 planes. They made no noise, and had no lights. They lightly reflected the lights from the city, but were dark enough to block out the night sky. They couldn’t be birds as they didn’t move other than gliding across the sky. When looking at the sky, if you put your hand up, they were the length of the tip of my thumb to the tip of my middle finger. Pretty large. They moved North in the formation, then sped up and got smaller. I think this means they were going upwards into the sky. It only lasted about 30 seconds, and they were gone by the time my sister made her way outside from 10 feet away. Our cats also ran to the balcony door and went crazy.

I have documented moving lights in the sky for May June and July of 2020. These sightings are in the middle of the night, between 2-4 am. They are over the rural are of Marysville Ohio. There is always one bigger and brighter than the rest, which form a line. They move in a hovering motion.

Two pulsing orbs flying low..seem to be chasing each other. Same exact altitude, pulsing in synchronized timing . Came from the west moving extremely fast to the East. I have video, in the video the light seems to be transparent compared to other lights in the frame. Friend who lives 12 miles to the west of me saw exact same formation flying low enough to be obscured by her neighbor's house.

4 white pulsating lights followed distantly by a large slower moving helicopter. The lights stayed perfectly distanced from one another creating a rectangular shape. They blinked one at a time in what seemed to be an organized pattern from top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left, and repeated this as long as it could be seen. I followed the lights and the helicopter but was unable to match speed. I noted that my car radio had a weird feedback at this time, and I was listening to a CD versus a radio station. Also, my headlights seems to flicker which is unusual. I attempted to take a picture in my phone if this, but it was too dark and nothing shows on it

Friend said "What's that!" pointing to sky and looked up to see 7 red lights in star formation above us. They turned into 3 lights then into one light and seemed to move up in the sky away from us at really fast speed. We were inside the Target shopping center on Main Street when it happened.

Chicato, IL
Me, My wife and a neighbor were watching fireworks around the city from the rooftop of our building, and among the fireworks exploding, we spotted 3 objects that were definitely not part of the of the light show directly west of our building. What got my attention initially was 3 red/orange objects hovering above the city at a distance in the formation of an equilateral triangle. These glowing objects seemed out of place from all the flashing lights coming from fireworks displays because they were not moving. By the time my wife and I got out our cell phones to record them, two of the lights had disappeared (Top and right) and the one that remained (Bottom and left) stayed visible. We both were able to get footage of that one. The remaining object didn't appear to be moving in any direction only hovering. Our footage shows the glowing object hovering for a minute or 2 and then just fades away. Being on the north side of Chicago we've seen more than around 30! airplanes or helicopters a day going in or out of O'hare International for years, and these definitely did not match movement or light patterns consistent with either one of those. There was no physical interaction as the objects seemed to be far enough away to be hovering over either Lincolnwood, IL or further west near Rosemont IL. It was hard to tell how far they were as I couldn't determine the size of them. The other strange thing that me and my wife agreed on was that it seemed to be intentional to us. As if it was a personal show to just us. That's probably not relevant, or true, but it was a very strong feeling. So much so that I want to include that detail. I am a fraud analyst and have a very skeptical nature, but this was something that I cannot explain. I'm sending 2 videos, one that my wife took right next to me, and the one I took. My video is a little more shaky but her's is a quite a bit more stable. My neighbor didn't take any footage because her phone was not around at the time. I will include the video and a screenshot of google maps to show where we THINK the objects were. Thank you for your time. Feel free to email me with any questions.

It was at 11:17pm when my wife and went for a ride and we were traveling south on I89. We seen three really bright lights brighter than the full moon and brightest star in the sky flying in formation. We then noticed that three flying in formation we being followed by many more bright lights to many to count. However the very front light in the formation shot behind our in the north direction and another took its place in front. But then the sky got so bright behind us it look as is the sun popped out. But then that light that disappeared behind was back in front of us and it bright so we pulled over to try and see what it was and it stopped suddenly and meanwhile the formation of lights and its tail of lights were farther in the distance. Both of us looked in aww and we realized the bright light we were looking at was a craft in the sky and was oval in shape and looked like a giant apartment building hovering in the sky and had other bright lights up the si! de that we could see in different spot throughout the side. And as we sat on the side of I89 with our hazard lights blinking it seemed like we had been watching for an hour or longer not one vehicle went by on the N or S lanes we noticed that it still hovering above us but it looked like it was farther than it had been. And all of sudden a bright bright light illuminated the complete bottom side of this craft it shot straight up to the point the bright light on the botton of the craft was a little bigger and brighter than the brightest star in the sky and then moved so fast in the eastern direction it was just flash of light. When it was all finished it was 27 minutes long but it seem like it was two hours. The two of us were physically drained and. I was driving i was so drained that i was falling asleep driving and my wife was asleep five minutes after it disappeared. We see planes all the time and we see different types of helicopter because we live close to the flight path of a runway at Burlington International Airport and helico! pters fly over on their way to the hospital and the both are very noisy. This craft was not making any noise and definitely didn't move like any aircraft i know of. I truly believe we seen ufo's on America's Independence Day

4 objects in flight, sometimes formation, following a path over SE Reno, towards CA/NV state line, moving in all directions over time, pulling tight turns and moving very quickly in uniform movements turning and spinning heading over time northwards.

An unusual light in the sky drew my attention so I continued to watch it for 15-20 seconds (noting that it did not seem to have any blinking lights that conventional aircraft are required to have by law ). Craft was on a south to north heading and by the feel of the motion and brightness of the object, It seemed to be quite high in altitude. Which struck me as odd because it was moving across the sky at a faster pace then any jets that I commonly see in the day/night sky. The craft would also do these very smooth and consistent horizontal sweeps as it flew. Back and forth from left to right and back again. Almost playful really... Suddenly the craft turned a very bright light downward towards the ground. Seemed as bright as fog lights on a jetliner, but no jetliner i know of has their foglights mounted on such a swivel as to be able to point from the front of the craft to the bottom. Shortly after the light was shone downward, the craft quickly faded in brightness until I lost sight of it. It either blinked out of existence or simply turned all the crafts lights off. Hard to tell really. My attention was immediately diverted to another two craft, identical to the first, not very far away in the evening sky. These two craft were very interesting. Upon first glance of the two craft, I could immediately tell that one craft was travelling at much higher speed ( again , north to south heading ) than its counterpart. The thing is though... the slower of these two craft was still traversing the night sky faster then any plane or jet that commonly fly these skies. As they came directly overhead ( at similar high altitude of first craft ) the two craft were weaving left and right in graceful sweeping arcs. With the speed and fluid grace they displayed, it again felt as if they were playing. Almost similar to how two small birds may interact with each other mid-flight. As the two craft continued travelling northbound, I was suprised to see the craft in 2nd place gaining, and eventually overtaking the craft that was previosuly winning what i then considered to be a playful race between the two lights. The two craft flew far enough for me to lose sight of them about 25-40 seconds after first seeing them. I am no ufo enthusiast nor conspiracy theorist. I dont believe in farfetched ideas about aliens and their possible agendas. I am simply a man who has seen something highly unusual and suspicious in the sky. Was it aliens? Who's to say. But I can say the lights showed no conventional signs of normalcy for aircraft. From the speed and maneuverability, to the nature of their flightpath. (sorry , have no footage. and in truth, any footage taken wouldve been your run of the mill, blurry lights on a drab black pixelated background ). Thank you for your time. And thank you for what your organization is attempting to accomplish. Cheers

Linear formation of Lights with rounded edges, that moved to a different deegree of angle. The lights seemed to strobe Around The Craft. As we recorded the craft seemed to fade off into the atmosphere. Near the end of the video the lights seems to blink in what seemed at a pattern.
