From our view point 32 objects traveled from the ne towards the sw around 0615-0730. The objects spanned a 3-5 degree arc. All traveled the same direction and speed. As a retired Navy controller, I never seen any A/C traveling this high in a straight row. No warning lights! The night sky was bright with a full moon, the objects reflected nicely. We could predict the next viewing based on the objects being equally spaced. incredible show this morning!

I met some friends at a local winery. we had two drinks and on the way out we stopped to look at the stars and we saw what looked like 3 stars moving in single file. At first I thought veunus was the space shuttle since they were moving near it and it being the brightest object he moving stars gave me this illusion briefly. as we got our bearings we saw the objects that were about as bright as a star in the sky were moving. As we watched more were traveling in the same line. we counted 11 all perfectly spaced apart all going the exact same speed in a perfect straight line. They did not appear to be going super fast but they were high up. They never deviated from trajectory never changed the spacing that was equal. It was an amazing thing to see.

I looked up into sky after returning home late from work and looked up into the sky. I saw a long formation of craft sequentially appearing equally spaced in a straight line appearing at like 70 degrees and disappearing at 85 degrees. I don't know how long this was going on before I noticed it.

At 7:30pm I was in my back yard and looked up at the stars as I often do. I noticed what I thought was the ISS. So I checked my ISS tracker app. The ISS was over Asia at that time. So I looked up again and saw two more. They were traveling from west to northeast across the night sky. There was a total of 3. They were white in my binoculars. They were moving at a constant speed and all three were equidistant from one another. They did not blink or pulse and had no green or red lights. Why would three satellites travel in formation? This is odd to me.

Traverse City, MI
This event occured approxamately 30-40 minutes ago. Friday, March 6 2020. Sighting started approxamately 8:30 PM EST and lasted until approx 8:45 PM EST. Observed from Traverse City, MI. Weather: Clear skies. stars appear sharp/bright. Moon approx 75% full. Venus visible almost due west. Temp 28 deg according to WeatherUnderground. Obeservation: I stepped outside my back door approx. 8:30 to smoke a cigarete. I looked up to see if the night sky was clear/crisp as we are expecting cold temperatures tonight (forcasted 10 deg F.) I looked up and noticed the moon then looked to my right a little (facing south) and could see Orion behind the limbs of the oak tree at the edge of my property. Then I looked to Venus, turning to face due West. While lookin to Venus, I noticed a *star* moving slightly up and right. Near Hamal (mag 2.00). The *star* was about the same brightness as Hamal. I observed it moving in an up and right direction . I first thought it must be a satalite as it was moving in a perfect strait line. The *star* did not blink- it stayed a solid, steady brightness until I lost sight of it. I measured 15 fingers (like how you measure amount of daylight left with your fingers stacked. I made this measurement at approximately the 8th/ninth object.) that I observed them. After I lost sight of the first, I noticed another from the same origin (Near Hamal) traveling in the same direction, same perfect strait line, and disappear in same spot. I looked back again to Hamal, and another. They were all evenly spaced, traveled same speed. There were 12 in all that I saw. All appeared the same. All traveled the same speed. same direction. Observed the originate from same spot and disappear in same spot, with one exception. the ninth was a double. It was two objects, slightly brighter than the previous objects, same speed, same direction same spots. They were close together (less than the width of my pinky finger at arms length) and remaned same distance appart entire time observed. I observed three more objects- they looked just like the others besides number 9. I tried to range them with a Leupold IR Laser range finder (Model RX-1300i TBR). It could not range them- It has 1300m range on reflective targets, and ~900m range on non-reflective animal sized targets. I could not discern any shape other than they appeard as sharp (focused) stars. I could not estimate the distance as I could not estimate their size due to unk distance. I continued to remain outside observing the same area and ocassionally looking further to might upper right to see if they reappear. nothing further observed. I Never heard a sound from them. I do live very close to an airport (TVC) less than a mile south of me. THESE WERE NOT NORMAL AIRCRAFT. I've observed satelites countless times. I've seen a numerous meteor showers, and observed several fire-balls in sky from meteorites entering atmosphere- most noted in news and seen with other whitnesses. I am familar with the night sky- I look up a lot at night as I have a life-long fondness of the night sky. I am 100% certain this was not a meteor or meteor trail, mostly due to the "double" that I observed, but also that they were so evenly spaced that it appeared precise. distance traveled, speed, and all appeared from same spot and all disappeared in another spot.

I took my dogs out early morning and looked to the north, I seen lights moving in a line heading east. They got to a spot directly north and vanished one by one, like if they where landing in something. I seen around 12 to 15 of them in a line formation. It's like when planes come in to land on a carrier.

Ammon, ID
Standing in backyard, me and two others saw several lights appear out of nowhere. Then travel across the sky at very high speed, and disappear. Faster than any man made aircraft. All appearing at same point, and all disappear at same point. Mostly sets of four, perfectly set apart. All traveling in a line. These objects appeared to be very far away, in outer space. This continued for about 2 minutes. Lost track of how many, but had to be at least 24 or more

At least 12 similar Objects were at a very high altitude following each other in a line heading southeast across a clear sky. Their altitude was so high that there was no discernable color. Just white lights moving quickly across the sky at 20:15 over Columbia, Il on March 5, 2020

Park City, UT
We had just returned from vacation, unpacked our bags and hopped into our hot tub out in our backyard. We were watching a comedy skit and my partner pointed out in the stars that he saw two moving perfectly spaced apart. At first glance, I said "that's probably just two satellites." Up until there was a 3rd, 4th, 5th I continued to count each moving light in the sky up until I hit 14...they kept coming and I stopped counting. Roughly there had to have been around mpre than 20. Perfectly spaced out from one another, we watched them jaws wide open continue to move across the sky. And suddenly we noticed them disappear at a point in the sky, all in the exact same spot.

Me and a friend we’re hanging out when I decided to call it a night, I asked him to leave and escorted him out. As I said goodbye and was about to close my door a flash of light caught my eye. I noticed Venus in the west had 2 flying objects passing underneath. I thought they were planes or what not and brushed it off, until I noticed it disappear and reappear in the same flight trajectory. I watched for 10 mins till i got my brothers opinion on if it was a planes or not, I don’t think he seen them cause he was half asleep. It continued as I checked on it till 8:30 then it stopped. I couldn’t count how many but there was, it seemed to stop at a spot and restart where I noticed it the first time. The would stop being visible once they traveled to the Big Dipper

Woodland Park, CO
Walking into the house, I looked to the west night sky and saw what I thought was Orion’s Belt. I thought I was going nuts because I know that it is usually southish of my house at that time. Then I noticed a ball of light shoot out of one of the “stars” going up into the sky instead of down. This happened repeatedly in equal interval, creating a diagonal line up towards the north. So, I called my husband to verify that I wasn’t going crazy and he saw the same thing. It reminded me of the old shooting arcade games that shot things out with equal intervals. This lasted maybe 5 minutes before it stopped. I honestly have no idea how many there were, but there were maybe 5 in a row before the top one disappeared from view with a total of 13 in the series that I observed.

Walking dogs with two of my daughters and as we started to turn west, I noticed what I first thought was Orion’s Belt but it was moving....we stopped and watched a formation starting in the west under and South of a very bright Venus and moving up and North/Northeast and all seem to disappear when they were near the Cassiopeia constellation. From the time they became visible to us to when they disappeared was approximately 20-30 seconds and we counted nearly 40 of them.

I was taking a walk with my son, since it was such a nice night. Anyway, I looked up to look at the stars and Immediately noticed the lights. I freaked out because there was so many lights. After I calmed down, I had called a fellow trusted friend to run outside to confirm this. Keep in mind, he had to get dressed.Sure enough, while we talked for another 10 mins we watched 30+ lights in a line formation but in pairs. So 2 lines of these lights. The lights would eventually just turn off. Coming from southwest to northeast.
