Grants Pass, OR
As we continued to watch more and more of these lights were appearing. There were at least 30 to 40 very bright lights. These were in a single file formation, they appeared to be going straight up into the sky. The sky is very clear tonight ,we are able to see most stars very clear. It seems to be a pretty dark night with no moon that we can see from where we are. After the lights faded out, and watching for about one to two minutes. As soon as they were all gone the star just to the left of where the formation had disappeared. It became really bright for about 5 seconds, than back to normal. At which time all the dogs around our home including our three started barking. They barked for about 10 minutes.

Our dog was going acting like there was a dangerous animal around, growling and running around. Minutes later ,a linear formation of lights that looked like stars were spotted moving horizontally across the sky. We could not see where it came from because we didn’t see it coming , but we looked above us and saw the lights moving. It was way too long to be a plane and it was silent. Probably about 20 lights on each craft(or whatever it was). The first one flew at a slow speed over us, don’t know how high up it was, and the lights disappeared but not because they were too far to see. We don’t know where they went. After the first disappeared, a second flew over us at the same size and speed and disappeared in the same place as the first. The lights were not equally spaced apart , but they kept their place when moving. They weren’t brighter than the stars. After the formations past the dog was calm. We tried filming on our phones but it wouldn’t show up, just l! ike stars won’t show up on a iPhone camera. The dog was calm once they both passed.

There was a big bright light that in no way resembled a star. About an hour later many small moving lights moved from the site of the big light. There were many small lights as they started to move into a triangle formation. The periodically got brighter and dimmed.

Camping out on Lake Wenatchee, we were stargazing when we saw a line of lights appear from outside of the stars facing South-East just after 10 pm, left of Venus. The cascade of lights was nearly eight inches long from our perspective. The line of lights then quickly faded from both sides into the night, like the light was shining off of the edge of a disc. There were no sounds or following phenomenon. After looking up comets, meteor showers and anticipated reports of visuals in this area, we could not find evidence of this happening before.

Clear beautiful night sky with less than a half moon. Bike riding with my kids and looked up. It literally stopped me in my tracks. A perfect row of formation lights in a line moving across the nights sky. By the time we stopped to look up they were already moving so Im not sure how many I missed but we did catch 10-15 lights. The last one in the row were two gliding next to each other. They were very high up.. They looked like stars on a string silently gliding across the sky in front of the moon. It was hands down the most mind blowing screen to witness especially when you see the videos online half believing them to actually seeing it for yourself. My son got it on Snapchat (of course) I tried to record it but I'm currently regretting my decision to keep my S8 phone.. As you can guess I barely was able to catch anything. I always tell my kids to look up and say "hi moon!" Now it has so much more meaning to us.

While walking outside with my wife I noticed what I thought was helicopter drone. At first, I thought the lights were rotors. However, they were not stationary. It was a long gray cigar with 2 thin bright white cylindrical objects similar to a florescent light moving with it. So, I deduced that it was a KC-135 Tanker with two fighter jets. I attempted to put wings on it and count engines, it had none. The whole time I am trying to make sense of what i was seeing the “fighter jets” were moving very quickly and erratically all over and around this thing. I was only able to observe it for about ten seconds as it was moving very fast with no contrail like all the other planes had at the time.

Saw 5 objects flying in a V formation that I initially thought were birds because of their organic movement, they were fluttering a bit instead of flying smoothly like a satellite or plane. But they were glowing, lit up like balls of yellowish light so they couldn’t have been birds – not any I’d ever seen. It was 1:15am and very dark out, no moon or cloud cover. The objects appeared in the eastern sky, flew overhead, and I lost track of them towards the western horizon over houses; this took about 8-10 seconds and there was no noise. One of the 5 objects was more erratic than the others, kind of jumping in and out of formation. I was looking up to view the Lyrid meteor shower, but these objects were not like shooting stars/meteors (and I didn’t see any of those in the ~5-10 minutes that I was looking).

Went out this morning to look for meteors and wait for the 4:12 am Passover of Starlink. From the south shot roughly a dozen fast moving objects. They were white and bright but moving too fast to make out anything other then an orb shape. Lower then a satellite or plane. The 1st group had two. The 2nd following had 3. The 3rd group was two. The 4th group had three and the final group appeared to have 4. They all were closely grouped back to back. Moving far too fast to be birds. The final grouping evaporated in this air. I’ve been watching for meteors in the skies here for over 22 years. These were not meteor as they were not high enough. They sped up, slowed down and sped back up before disappearing. I observed several satellites, 2 airplanes, two geese flying from north to south, a few atmospheric flashes that I presume were meteors and I counted 15 Starlinks before I stopped and went inside. The other objects are a mystery to me.

The objects were two rings, formed by bulb like objects. The objects ranged from red to blue. They did not flash, through the entirety of the encounter they stayed still. They were seen on a pitch black sky above a neighbors house. No objects could have been in the area at the time of the encounter. After 3 minutes the rings zipped away at unbelievable speed.

On April 20, 2020, at 2100 hours (9:00 pm), a clear night, in backyard in quiet town, my husband and I noticed a formation of star-like lights in the sky, like a dipper, but as we were looking at this stretch of lights across the sky, we noticed there was no dipper - just a long handle - and each star-like light appeared to be of equal distance from the other, and they were gliding, quietly, in a SW to NE direction. By the time we noticed this, there were 8-10 of the lights. There may have been more already gone by and this could have been the tail end. It lasted less than 2-3 minutes. By the time I ran in and got my camera, they were all gone over. We would like to know, at least, if this was something of known origin and planned like drones/airplanes/Airforce related or actual unidentified. Thank you. Feel free to contact.

Looked out of bedroom window before turning in to bed and noticed 2 white stars close together but moving. Then noticed a 3rd behind and realised they were in a triangle moving together. The two in front passed one another, and I wondered if they were military craft because here in UK only military planes fly in pairs. As I looked left to right I then noticed the others. In a line moving at the same speed, steady and equally spaced apart. Like a string of lights across the sky. I counted 6 of them and called my husband to come and take a look. We just watched and they kept on coming, I was counting 10 or 11 and getting excited. Tried taking video but they were so high up, like stars moving. I rang my mum to ask if she could see them on the other side of city. They were still coming across atleast 22, we lost count, I was saying it's a fleet. After the first fleet, we saw 2 planes flying low north to south direction, they had blue and red wing lights and flashed, definitely planes. That's when we saw more white star like lights coming across. Totally different, steady, spaced out, not flashing and really high up above on the same line of flight as before only fewer. I asked my mum the time, she said 9.45PM. We talked about what they could be, my husband was speechless and just wanted to watch. We saw the last one at about 10.05pm. The sky is clear, no cloud, no rain, no mist. Stars are clear to see. All of the star lights flew West to East in a perfect line. My house is at highest point on a hill, city and houses below my eye level. No objects or buildings obstruct view. Wondered if I should go on fb, or Leicester mercury? Or police, who do you tell? Thought maybe they're on radar at East Midlands Airport or Leicester private airport? What do you think? Can't believe this is happening, like is it military or what? I wondered satellites, but at least 20 satellites? No way. So must be UFOs. There must be other people who saw them, but we are on covid19 lock down. Is that why we're on lock down!? Is som ething else going on that no one is telling us? Got so many questions, weird but excited. I need to know, I want answers.

Around 11 pm on 4/18/2020 as I was outside I looked up at the stars and seen what appeared to be 6 or 7 lights which looked like stars flying in a straight line formation. As theses lights began to pass my position I noticed what I believed was the first light in the formation turn suddenly right. All the lights appeared to be moving very fast. The lights came from the direction of Lincoln and were moving in the direction of Cedar Bluffs. The one light that suddenly broke formation turned in flight on a dime and flew towards Mead. I had assumed that these lights had something to do with the sightings in Colorado and the panhandle area of Nebraska. These lights made no sound but moved extremely fast. At the time I saw these lights my iPhone was not on me but in my home and the lights moved very quickly out of site so I would not have had time to get to my iPhone in the house.

Papillion, NE
At approximately 9:15 PM this evening, while sitting out on the back deck of our house, we observed the first object moving from WSW to NE across the night sky. From observing the ISS over several years, this definately was moving at a speed that far exceeded any commercial jet. About one minute later, two more appeared about 10 degrees apart and following the exact same flight path. Over the next 25 minutes, approximately nine more appeared, all following the same flight path and crossing the night sky at the same speed. I've never observed multiple objects like this before that appeared at the same location in the sky, transit in the exact same direction and at the same high rate of speed. All appeared as singular solid lights, with a couple of them almost as bright as the ISS. No flashing lights or changes of color were observed.

I was leaving the house, looking up at the sky like I always do, and spotted a fine point (star) however this one was moving and behind it another, and another. They were all moving in a perfect line and spaced between one another. No commercial lights. Two of the 16, actually shined an intense, becoming more brighter than the rest that has past by. It doesn’t end there, I went to my brothers place, about 5 miles away and we both looked up and at one point didn’t see anything and then 2 free floating lights flying, however not in formation like before at my house.

Very high altitude objects in orderly straight line. Moving from W.S.W. to E.N.E. Objects spaced even distance from each other. towards the last 9 objects 1 was traveling off the right of the formation same directional movement. A couple minutes before seeing the 1 object to the right there was 1 object to the left of formation moving same as column. All objects were of same light yellow bright reflector color. How high in the air . Likely in earth orbit. Size of objects is a question. I at this time understand people in St.Louis Mo. has witnesses the same type of sighting.

Me and my brother were outside in the front of his yard when a series of bright oval/small pill shaped UFO’s in a line formation spaced equally apart came from South heading NE in the Tumwater area of Olympia we even had time to get his wife. A few formed a strange triangle formation before continuing NE. They were in the sky within our site for about 15 - 20 minute. They were moving really fast We tried searching for who to call or report it too but don’t know how to go about that other than post it on here. Still trying to wrap my head around it

I saw starlink a month ago and they were all in the straight line and these were very un uniformed three or four right next to each other if this was for internet why fly next to each other? I just spoke to Peter Davenport over the phone how awesome is that! Coast to Coast! Some were brighter than the other but going the same direction which led me to believe it could still be starlink but why still fly next to each other for internet? Sorry you said not to report if its Starlink but its still weird. Sorry I couldn't pick it up on my phone Cheers!
