The first one came from the north followed by some from the north east then they started coming from the north west and then the West all of them flew to pretty much the same point near the star Arcturus then turned and headed south east all heading to the same place they were all whitish yellow and very high (higher than most planes) in the sky they were also very hard to see and didn't seem that bright on account of them being at such a high altitude I heard no jet engines or propellers some of them were flying quite close to each other while the majority flew one after the other about 45 seconds apart from one another I have a feeling that all the pilots were Cozicci (spelt with backwards C's) from Sirius A's- Deneb

Wells, NV
Early this morning on june 23, 2020 around 2-3 am my wife and I were at the wells hot springs. (12 mile hot springs outside of wells) While watching the sky, she pointed out some lights and asked if they were moving. They were. We watched with another group of people, 6 of us in total, as bright white dots of light would appear then continue in a south/southwest direction before disappearing behind the mountain. In the front were four lights in a straight line followed by two pairs of lights running parallel making a square. Their distance and speed was constant. Behind those 4 lights was a continuous string of individual lights that would appear from nowhere then move with the rest of the formation, all in what appeared to be a perfect straight line while maintaining a precise and steady distance from the one in front of it. Side notes to point out. The space within the "square" of the 4 lights was not blacked out as if an object were blocking the view of the stars behind it. Also, as the individual lights "appeared", we observed that they seemed to show up already moving in a south/southwest direction but would slow down to the pace of the other lights in front. All of the lights that were seen, appeared in the sky at the same spot. We know this because we were using the mountain as a point of reference. Throughout the night, my wife had thought she had seen stars "disappear" but did not mention it until I had said something to her about seeing the same thing. I was looking at a particularly twinkling star when it suddenly was no longer visible. I saw no light from it at all. This next part I'm hoping can be addressed by someone more knowledgeable with astronomy. As we were leaving, we realized one last thing that weirded us out. We noticed the big dipper looked freakishly huge. As if the whole constellation was suddenly maybe half the distance away. I'm not a conspiracy theorist by any means, but after talking with my wife and the other people who witnessed these events, I cannot come up with any sensible explanation. I'm typing this in a word document, and am not sure if I'll have an opportunity to provide contact info, but hope I can. I would really appreciate someone to get ahold of me and share their opinions. My wife was on google trying to see if anyone else had seen this phenomenon and said something but did not find anything at that point. (Between 4 and almost 6 am Pacific time.) She did however find that an almost an exact event happened in the early hours (dark skies) of November 10th, 2019. The lights observed on that morning were also moving in a southwest direction and also appeared a few seconds apart. If someone could get me into contact with the person who made that report, it would be oh so much appreciated. Backgrounds: myself, 27. Construction worker/mechanic and a traveller. My wife, 25. Karaoke jockey at a bar. From north dakota, observes night sky and stars regularly and has never seen anything like this. The other four: group of college students in their early to mid 20s. Should be noted that all witnesses were sober. Lol.

Three blue orbs, in a perpendicular line flying in unison down the Santa maria river bed. It flew steadily until it reached towards the hills, then took off, like in, star trek, really. My neighbor, his son, and my friend were witness to this UFO.

Ladson, SC
While traveling east on Dorchester road, we spotted a single light in the sky that flashed and then a straight line of 5 or more lights appeared beside it.. then disappeared and then 3 lights in a close proximity formed a triangle shape ... It looked like 2 or 3 different crafts but they then disappeared and we could not find them again

All of a sudden, 2 strange objects (will get to looks below) appear from the South -South/East from behind a tree in my backyard. They appeared to be about 150-175 feet above the ground (a small distance above the tallest trees nearby). The objects were completely silent although travelling at high speeds and seemingly not that far away from us. They seemed to be going about 400-500 mph and were heading straight to the North slightly North/West. The entire sighting lasted about 2 seconds before they disappeared behind some other trees on the North end of my backyard. It is hard to describe the appearance. The shape seemed to be slightly triangular, and tiered. As if 3 triangles were stacked on top of each other overlapping one another by 50%. There were 2 sets like this, flying in tandem approximately 100 feet apart. It appeared as if they were each about 50 ft tall and 20 ft wide. They were a dark smoky color. The outline of them was bolder than the middle. They had a very strange almost enigmatic look - like a jelly fish or a cell under a microscope. That is all I can recall about the incident which occurred 55 minutes before writing this.

Perry, AR
2nd similar sighting over 3-4 years. Both times an object appeared right above tree line over a pond next to our house- lights appear in a formation and sometimes fade in and out and appears in a different location- then vanishes. Never a sound, no change in tree or water movement. We live in the path of our local airevac helicopters and can easily see, hear and at times cause increased wind at a much higher distance up than this object was and it never made a sound. I have a short video of the last part of the second incident- which was witnessed by multiple ppl. First incident witnessed by my son and husbands several years earlier that they both stated was much like the second. The image with plane is just a reference picture of tree line and pond in day light.

Three objects that looked like stars connected by smaller lights. They moved in a line together from over diamond head towards the mountains. Sort of like three shooting stars connected together but not at all because they were heading in a certain direction. Seemed to be much lower than the stars.

The incident was not directly witnessed by human observers but captured on a motion-activated TC20 Trail Camera. We have emailed the AVI file of the event. To be honest, we are not sure this is genuinely unidentifiable. It could be some kind of reflection on the camera lens, but we haven't seen anything like this before and the image seems to have dimensionality to it.

Elyria, OH
My wife and I were stargazing, looking north to the Big Dipper. At first we saw several white orbs we thought were Starlink (which we have seen before). But, to our surprise a beam of light, a rod, which was a pinkish rose color appeared. From this rod came 2 sets of 3 ships followed by a large triangle. The triangle blended in the sky, but it was darker in color. Each tip had a blue or white light on it. There was no sound. We knew we were looking at something so large because it blocked out the stars, especially the "handle" on the Big Dipper. The smaller crafts were in groups of 3-4 surrounding the large triangle. The color of lights or orbs were white, dark red, and amber. The crafts appeared to be escorting the triangle. At the back of the triangle, there were 2 different crafts. One was a rod with green light in the front and red light in the back. The other craft was a large orb. The colors were orange and amber. This orb rolled like a ball. The crafts came out of the southwest and turned towards the northeast. There was no vapor trail or sound. All of the crafts kept up at the same speed.

Sweetwater, TX
I took my dog out , and saw a bright light closer than all the other stars in the sky. Something appeared above it. Something red it appeared. To close to be a star. It is a clear night. I waited and watched. The object never moved it appeared, until I took pictures and videos . Only in the video can you see movement. When I look it is fixated and does not Move. The video and pictures show a circular bright shape that has something in the center. Hard to describe without just sharing what I took with my iPhone. In the picture only and video it appears to go side side as there is a light also around it like a fog and it moves. It is still there and it is 2:49 am. I am going back in. So I cannot say length of time whatever it is will be in the sky. I have seen planes, and all kinds of things in the Texas sky. I have never not been able To tell what something was. It is to Close for a Star. If you would Like my pictures video. Please contact me.

406 Pine St Lot 2, SD
The reason I started taking pictures because the sky sounded like the North and South fighting in the Revolutionary War directly above us. I thought it was the calm before a Hail Storm. It's common for me to hear air traffic, since I live an hour away from an Air Base, but I've been hearing jets, helicopters, thunder without rain... at all hours of the day and night. This evening was absolutely beautiful out, no wind, sun on your back type day behind me and this Ominous cloud above the hills in front of me. I snapped this photo. You can see a small circle of light that is different from the surrounding cloud cover. If you zoom in, you can see five individual lights flying in a close pattern.

Noticed one, then a 2nd and 3rd bright light out over the Gulf of Mexico. Moving South. Location is near an airport. During the sighting all air traffic stopped. Not one plane was spotted Eventually we saw over 3 dozen solid white lights spread out miles moving the same speed, same distance between each other. About ten minutes after the last light was out of sight, we noticed airline traffic once again.

Lowell, IN
I saw a formation of orangish twinkling lights over Lowell Indiana on the night of May 6th 2020 at about 11:40pm. They were in a spread pattern, one flying by and then shortly after another following but farther away, and then another farther away like in a staggered spread pattern but evenly spaced. There were 7 that I saw this way but there could have been more before I noticed the first one. There were no flashing lights on these and no sound! They were moving at a medium pace and at a fairly low altitude.

At approximately 8:35pm I stepped outside to let my dog out. I always look up to the stars while I wait for him to go potty. As I look up, there was a really bright star and I see something move from it. I am watching, then I see another. At the fourth one I call for my oldest son to come outside. I asked him to look up. As he is watching he says oh my gosh mom what is that? We watched what looked like dimmer stars move in formation north to south, bank left and head toward the moon. After 20 to 30 we of course intrigued looked toward the moon and see several doing their own thing. Almost playing? Darting close. There was no sound. Then it was over about 2 hours later. For the ones that broke from formation. The ones that headed towards the moon seemed to vanish? I can't explain it other than what looked like tiny dimmer stars. I do not believe this to be part of Space X. Not after seeing them break from a formation. And to come from a star? Something brigh! ter than a normal star? I tried to video and the lights were just to dim and it was dark. I am sorry.

Again we looked out towards the North Star and witnessed 19 lights travel across the sky two at a time. This time there was a longer time between the lights as well as distance. It seemed as if they were lower than they were two nights ago. What is this?

Hurricane, UT
Hey Everybody; We R stargazers and live in Hurricane. Sunday (May 3) we came out @ 9:25 p.m., & began seeing 18 UFOs in line w/quite a bit of space between them going N/E coming from the W!!!!! Something strange or unique is happening in our Universe! These objects could have been happening before we came out. We've been doing this nightly in the Spring since we moved here. This is another 1st for us! We have seen singular UFOs going E, S, W, blinking ones, ones which shut off & on like a flashlight, ones which all of a sudden it comes on like a dim flashlight & gets brighter & brighter then goes out.... then shows up at another spot in the sky doing the same thing. It gas been very entertaining. Unusual, but entertaining. One night 2 started doing antics like they were playing a game or putting on a show for whoever was watching. That was a 1st. Tonight was another. I mean, it really got us to wondering WHAT IS GOING ON????!!!!!

Sparks, NV
Approximately 21:30 began to see 2 circular lights over the East side of the Spanish Springs area. B oth objects were moving very quickly. One object disappeared after a few seconds. The object following turned immediately back to a northwest heading. Several minutes later a formation of lights began to appear from the South West area over Lemon Valley. The lights appeared to be entering the area from a very high altitude and continued in a formation heading North East. We counted 12 lights in a line formation much closer together than commercial aircraft would fly and a much higher altitude. The lights would occasionally zig and zag along the same direction. Other lights would occasionally light up very bright like a camera flash. All the lights disappeared over the North towards Pyramid Lake area. We were listen to Live ATC for Reno Tower and NorCal control, there was no, zero nada radio chatter at for any military flights passing through National airspace! control.
