The craft was clearly seen it appeared to be cigar shaped with a Half Dome on the top, it was flat on the bottom. The length of The Craft appeared to be about the width of Two And A Half full moons. There were no lights emitting from The Craft, the Moonlight was shining off the top and lights from a nearby City we're reflecting off the bottom. The craft was swiftly moving from west to east at a high rate of speed and level flight.

My dad and my uncle where outside eating burgers I had left his house to bring my wife water because we where out.so I came back to my dads house and he and my uncle told me what they saw a cigar shape metallic object in the sky. I kinda laughed and joked a little and said it was a plain or a bird, than my dad went inside the house then my uncle and me started talking about it and while we was talking something coght my eye in the sky and I grabbed my uncles binoculars and ran to the front of the house and what ever it was had lightning coming out of it than when I took a look with the binoculars I was in shocked It was black and it had a big red eye almost like the transformers movie the character cyclops and it also had metallic black tentacles or cables on it and it was square like and it's like he knew I was looking at him. To be honest I have never seen nothing like that it look like a flying gas generator,than my uncle wanted to take a look at it and h! e saw it to but not that clear like I did it was already far away and it disappeared. Than I sat down in front of the house and we kept looking at the sky than my brother came and we told him the story and while we was talking I notice something below the moon like a weard baby blue or white color in the blue sky than something shiny appeared something entirely different we are not alone there was activity this day .where my dad lives is near hance bridge rd. Vineland and the activity was in the farm fields. Manetico river is there.who ever its watching something is there.

I watched these two lights in the sky from my garden during covid lockdown. I initially thought they were bright stars but their movements in different directions were mysterious. Zooming into the still image reveals a cigar shape, darkened areas around it.

The best description i can give is that it looked very much like a transluescent glowing worm. It had slight segments with lights in between each segment. I guestimate 6 stories above us as my apartment is 2 stories high. It moved/hovered slowly over us. It did not wriggle, it simply floated as though it were in an air current. Then it completely disappeared with lights out. In the past i have looked up in the n8ght sky & focused on a random star only to see that very star shoot off from a stationary position & leave a slight light trail. This current ufo did not do that. It was simply lights off. I'm beginning to think they know when they are being looked at...

A Commercial plane flies past with a ufo pacing it perfectly, it was matching its speed and height, is was about 200 feet behind and down just a bit, as to avoid the turbulence from the commercial flight. We watched and there was some background clouds coming up so we could see if this ufo was just some sort of engine wash image but the ufo shape and form did not change as the cloud - which was white- sharpened the ufos image as we watched, we didn’t have our phones - so no image. We watched as they flew to the east and we couldn’t see them anymore. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite capable and sober-minded. She is quite eloquent in her description of the sighting, and she holds a very responsible job. PD

I was westbound on 83rd street west of K-7. Conditions were clear, bright sunlight and few clouds. To my left (north), I saw a silver cigar-shaped object which appeared to be floating motionlessly about 2-3 miles away at an altitude of approximately 2000-2500 feet. The object did not appear to be emitting any kind of light, other than the sunlight refracting off of its bright hull . It struck me as looking very much like one of the early Zeppelins (ex. LZ-3). It was not perfectly cylindrical, but had longitudinal ridges suggesting girders. The ends were not conical, but rather pyramidal. The silvery color, though, was much brighter and refracted more light than doped canvas. It looked like polished aluminum, or perhaps dull stainless steel. It was not, however, as bright as Mylar. My first thought was that someone might have been flying a model airship at a nearby RC airfield, but I quickly dismissed that idea. The object was at too high an altitude and too large. The RC airfield is several miles west of where I saw the object, and furthermore, the wind was too strong for the controlled flight of a lighter-than-air craft. A remote-control dirigible would have been swept away by the wind. My second thought was that I might have seen an aerostat (tethered balloon) and in fact I cannot guarantee that it wasn't. However, aerostats are not typically cigar-shaped, or metallic. An aerostat would have been buffeted by the wind, straining against its tether. This object remained perfectly still, suggesting that it was heavier than air. I observed the object for about three minutes, until I drove over a ridge and lost sight of it. I drove by the RC airfield about 10 minutes later. No one was there. On my return trip about 1 1/2 hours later, the object was gone. I am a 36-year-old professional housekeeper and organizer. I have a bachelor's degree in English. I have an interest in aviation history, particularly lighter-than-air craft, which is why I took such notice of this object. I do not do drugs and seldom drink alcohol, and to my knowledge I do not have any mental illnesses. You may contact my by Email if you would like more details or have questions. Thank you.

I was taking the trash out and turned around towards my house and saw 20+ bright lights cross the sky to the West below the moon. Most were in a straight line one behind the other. However several were beside one another. They were moving very fast and once they were to my left they were suddenly gone. I could tell they were not planes of any sort because they didn't flash and were too close together. I tried to take a video with my cell phone but onlt got a picture of on of the lights.

Gresham, OR
Object was heading from east to west at an angle of descent. Was moving fast, unit it vanished. Entire object was lit up as a single light bright white. From time of sight to time of vanishing was about 6 seconds and coving a great distance. We were looking in south direction towards Walters hill from by Gresham police station. There was no sound...

i was outback and heard what I thought was a jet or big plane. The craft came over my house and was lit up from the bottom, not crazy white lights or anything but the WHOLE bottom was illuminated, it was also flying in an odd flight path being the airport is in a different direction. I have done and will do more research and the only possibility aircraft wise would be a refueling jet but they only have lights 1 row on each side under the belly. This craft was lit up completely on its underside. Also moving oddly slow. I got a picture of it after it passed and was a bit in the distance because I honestly sat thinking "wtf was that" for a bit. Im not claiming it to be but I hope maybe you can figure it out. It was shaped body wise like a big passender plane but shorter and wider. I dont recall any wings just the tail as it passed over abd from behing the tail wings? Looked like two capital Ls laid down and connected (trying for the visual) it was the lights ALL over the bottom. That is what is wild.

On this day and time as I was leaving work is when I saw a bright object in the sky. It was raining and the skies were grey with clouds and not much sunlight. It appeared to be cigar shaped,stationary and also very bright like glowing white. I looked around looking for the sun but no sun for this thing to reflect any light from. As I kept driving to get onto the highway for two seconds the object went behind the treeline and just disappeared. I was on the phone with my fiancé and I told her what I saw right away.

I was on my way to work when I witnessed a small white dot in the sky moving from west to northwest. I didn’t pay much attention thinking it was an airplane. Suddenly it got moved my direction so much that I noticed it was a white cylinder. Then suddenly it change to a gray metallic cylinder, and then it vanished. It didn’t shoot off in any direction. It just disappeared in a blink of an eye. It was as if it was cloaking itself. I stopped my car to look around for anything in the sky, but there was nothing. It is a perfect clear day with no clouds in the sky. I can’t explain what I witnessed today.

Kochi (India) · India
On 19th April 2020 at about 6.40 PM, we had seen a strange moving object in sky (towards west) it was definitely not an aircraft since it is lock down in India due to corona virus. It cannot be a rocket as it is moving from left horizon to right (South to North); not upwards. The total length almost seems like more than 2 meter including what i believe is a tail, and the length remained constant all the way till it disappeared in cloud. It seemed like a missile but we were not expecting any thing like that since there is no report of an experiment and we are in middle of a pandemic crisis.

Large completely White craft. Size of a commercial jet. Moving from south to North slowly, like a blimp, however, it slowed to a stop and then proceeded East at increasingly higher speed and was out of sight within 10 seconds.

Payson, AZ
April 18, 2020 1840 Payson Arizona Headed south on Arizona Highway 87 just outside of Payson mile marker 245 to 247. Driving through Payson to Phoenix Arizona I was scanning my horizon when A slow moving object caught my eye. I noted the mile marker 245 I continue to watch the object. It looked like an airplane slowing for a landing. I soon realize the object had no tail, it was just a cylinder shape that was tapered slightly at the ends. The object was moving west to east, and was 15 seconds or so in front of me. It was Low I could see it clearly in the day light and had contrast with the Mountians in the back ground. The color was not shiny but a dull gray that reflected the sun just a little. I continue to watch the cylinder object to see if it could be an airplane. Did it have wings I asked? The object began to turn towards me. I saw no wings. I saw a small soft white light. I thought that the light could be the headlight. As the object continue to turn towards me the light grew in size. Eventually the light engulfed the entire diameter of the aircraft. Then “blink” the light turned off and they was is no object or light. At this time I was at mile marker 247. Less then a minute is how long it lasted 2 miles @ 65mph. I knew at mile 248 there was a brake check area. I stopped at the brake check area got out my binoculars and got out of my truck. I began to search the skies for object or aircraft. I saw no aircraft in the sky or the object. Payson Arizona is a small town at elevation of 5000 feet it is a mountainous Arizona terrain. I estimate that the object was the same size as a submarine, smaller than the USS Ohio. Aircraft this large would never land in Payson. Nor could it have landed in that terrain. Some background Professional truck driver Military aviation( Rotary wing ) Was stationed in Hawaii.

At about 12:30 AM on April 18th, 2020 (last night), I saw what at first looked like lights from a plane very low at H.E. Thomas Parkway and 46A just near and above the 7-11. Then I realized it was hovering. There was nobody on the road so I slowed down and stopped for a quick second to look up at it a little closer. It was a quick look so I will describe just what I saw as I saw it. When I looked at it, I thought I saw a shape similar to a fuselage of a plane but the way it hovered was not like that. I am not totally sure what the full shape was because it was covered by a thin veil of clouds. Because I first thought it was a plane/tube shape, I marked Cigar but again, it was cloudy and it could have had more characteristics than that. The object was either fairly close to the ground or very large. There were different white and red lights on the object. The object hovered just above some very low lying clouds for the duration that I drove past the area (Maybe a minute or two). It looked too large to be any drone I have seen before. I was googling sightings in the area to see if I was completely crazy and came across a video posted from the same are in February with very similar looking lights hovering in the same area. Here is a link to the video that looks similar. https://youtu.be/KcBPLRBbg8U

Combination of disc shaped and cigar shaped and 1 larger triangular shaped with approximately 100 of them flying in single file formation from southern direction to northern direction. On the phone with friends in California that were witnessing them at the same time.

I observed a white or silvery cigar shaped craft moving through the sky. It made no sound or left no type of cloud disturbance behind it.

This article was posted on the Spaceweather.com site for April 19th stating: STARLINK SATELLITES PHOTOGRAPHED FROM THE ISS: Astronauts onboard the International Space Station have gotten a first good look at the controversial Starlink satellites. On April 13th, they photographed a train of 16 Starlinks cutting through Southern Lights over the Antarctic. Part of that article was a link to take you to the picture and when you clicked on the link you can see the photo showing the Starlinks. However I also noticed that when you zoomed in on the photo, there is a large pill like object on the top left of the photo which seem rather odd. Here is the link for the photo. What the heck is that object? https://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos/photo.pl?mission=ISS062&roll=E&frame=148365

Now this is the 2nd time, exactly 2 weeks from the last encounter, in the exact same area and around the exact same time, but first sighting lasted 5 1/2hrs. Now this object, on separate encounters, was exactly the same shape and size. A large chrome half dome object with 5 lights dangling underneath it on separate tentacles and different lengths. It was accompanied by 2 smaller ones that were orbiting it and dancing around. The 1st encounter, which lasted roughly 6 hours, I wanted to use a lazer pointer to get it's attention, but I only had a L.E.D. headlamp. So I focused the beam and I 2-3-2 at it and it started to, I guess you can it sorta acknowledged us. Where we were, saw, doing and witnessing I told my buddy that no one will believe us. Exactly 2 weeks later, same time and same area, my girlfriend and I were enjoying the night, when I looked out the window and got startled and said to my girlfriend " They came back! They came back! They're here! I knew they would come back!!" She started yelling " Who came back???" I told her to look and look she did. The expression on her face was priceless. I told her " See??! You and my mom think I'm fucking crazy, well is that crazy??" She didn't know what to say but she was in awww. This time I came equipped with a 632nm Lazer pointer and 3500luemen L.E.D. tact. light. So I 2-3-2 at it and it stayed hovering above us after about an hour we left for my house and hoping that it followed. Arriving out front of my house, looked up and to my hoping, there it was. It followed us and hovered about 1/2- 3/4 miles directly above us. 1 thing I can tell you that don't try to use a telescope in hurry to zoom in on an object. It don't work to the way you need it to. I would've written everything to detail but I'm too lazy to and don't have the patience either, but I can tell you 1 thing tho. It was real and what the media is saying it's a satellite? Bullshit! Satellites can't defy gravity. No propeller motion and certainly not exhaust because exhaust mean! s thrust This was silent and hovering. Nada can blow smoke up your ass but not mine, it's common sense. BTW, both encounters, not a single jet in the sky as far as we could see

Went out on the roof deck on a 14 storey building. Took my binoculars looking straight up. I saw the biggest craft outside of our atmosphere. The moon was lit, but there was no shine at all . It looked stealth color and huge. Moving fast across the sky south to north. Ive seen alot of unexplained but this one gave me a chill.
