V shaped formation moving south to north, low altitude, silver/whitish look to the craft. When passing over head everything went silent. Have a water pump that is running near by and then as they passed over it was like a cone of silence passed over us as well. Witnessed clearly by myself and my wife. This is the second time we have seen a similar formation and the same “silent” effect as it passed overhead.

Quick moving bright lights. In synch. No sounds at all and flashed different colors. Happened during fireworks but very easy to tell its not fireworks nor a plane or helicopters in formation. Multiple witnesses. Dissappeared and reappeared in minutes on walk to apartment. It seemed to change speeds a bit but not a lot. The objects also seemed fairly close as in not extremely high but the objects still seemed smaller than crafts known of and the flight pattern was so consistent between the two lights that I truly don't believe it's drones being flown as the line between the 2 was absolutely perfect and did not change at all during flight.

I saw 6 extremely bright lights descending to the west faster than any satellite or man made object ive ever seen.. they moved 7 degrees towards the horizon in like 4 seconds they were brighter than a full moon then after they descended another singular one apeared out of thin air around 5 degrees from the edge of horizon and descended in a similar manner. Then another one apeared exactly the same way and went down just like the ones before. I only managed to record the very last one in its last moments.. The last 2 were significantly slower but they were just as bright as the others and when you see it first it apears as a dot but as I looked longer it turned into a ring like apearance with a thicker base.

We saw glowing white lights overhead in a V formation floating by silently. The V shape seemed opaque in color, like you could see through it. The shapes stayed together in that formation as it floated by us overhead. There was no sound. I thought it may have been satellites, but they were not in a straight line. I took a photo that catches some of those light’s going by.

That was clearly 6 round orbs in V-formation. It looked like it came up out of the ground, a flying V. It turned right then left very fast. As it flew in front of me I could clearly see that it was 6 round flat saucers flying in a V formation. Then it was gone.

The objects were a line of approximately 7 to 10 pulsating lights arranged in a straight line. The spacing between the lights was not uniform. They would pulse of and on, then disappear completely for several seconds before reappearing. They reappeared approximately 6 times before completely disappearing. They were almost due north about 20 degrees up from the horizon from my position in my hot tub. They were moving very slowly from west to east and were never all illuminate at once, although I did observe more than one light illuminated at time, perhaps 3 to 4 simultaneously. The string length was maybe 5 degrees and the lights appeared white to the naked eye. The sighting lasted for approximately one and a half minutes before disappearing completely. They appeared to be quite high in the atmosphere. You should be able to confirm the date, time and location to determine if this was a indeed a starlink satellite. There did not appear to be any rocket activity. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Probable]

Video was taken from an airplane flying east to west over western Us between Minnesota and San Diego. I believe the perspective of the photo is to the south. The craft appeared to have whit and amber lights. Port/starboard navigational lights were not observed by me. Possibly reflections off the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility [NUFORC annotation: Reflection - Probable]

Hastings, EAST SUS · United Kingdom
We counted 15+ flying objects with lights flashing red and green and sometimes stopping in the sky and flashing white. They flew in and out of our viewing window and up and down and stopped unexpectedly. 3 of them at one point flew in a triangular formation and started blinking simultaneously. We videoed some of them with our iPhone At times it looked like the object behind the lights was somewhat much bigger than we could see clearly, cloaked in some way. It’s hard to explain but they were certainly not planes nor drones. A few of them seemed to appear suddenly on our left. All of the flying objects were moving inland/north (we leave on the coast)

It lasted almost 2 minutes. It was silent. It was moving very slowly. I immediately called channel 4 News in Washington DC they said they had another report of the same. I then contacted Loudoun county non-emergency and they told me to contact the FAA. I tried contacting the FAA to no avail. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

there was no sound at all. None, complete silence and anir extremely still no wind and the lights formation continued then stopped all of a sudden. I was getting dog in and they were gone when I came out. Then sky got very cloudy over that area exactly. Misidentifed searchlights (confirmed in video) [NUFORC annotation: Searchlight - Certain]

Jekyll Island, GA
We saw five identical orange orbs in a horizontal line. We watched them for about 10 seconds but were unclear as to how long they had been there. They momentarily shifted and became three orbs lined vertically. This was probably less than half a second. They disappeared immediately after shifting positions but we thought there might still be one of the orbs moving and flashing to the right. We were standing on the shoreline and saw this take place right above the ocean.

The moon was bright despite being a half moon. The night was calm and there weren’t many clouds. It was a great night for star gazing. At first I thought it was a satellite but then noticed other lights as it came into view. It went almost directly overhead which is how I could see the v shape but again no sound. The night was strangely quiet. Lights were white and all appeared to be part of the same craft.

5 blue dim but bright enough dots in a a perfect straight line formation , flew together , moving perfectly together , followed each other in a perfect single file line and then slowed down and spiral into a circle and faded away one by one . This was very frightening for me and my frinds to experience because I always make fun of people when I see something , now I have seen something bazaar with my own eyes …. And that was not something normal , the speed at which they moved and the distance from one another and formation, those dots moved faster than the speed of light . From my naked eyes it hard to believe us human beings where involved in that phenomenon….. That was mathematically impossible the details of how they moved and why so fast lightning fast …..

Was taking pictures of moon & noticed while taking pictures these 3 star looking objects lowered & got larger & started developing into odd objects that I can't explain. They almost looked like entities as they got lower. When I looked without the camera I couldn't see them at all. A star to the left of then then got larger & looked like a spacecraft of some kind & disappeared. [NUFORC annotation: Camera Anomaly - Certain]

3 yellowish red lights in a straight formation (not glowing, but “breathing” appearance) initially moved slowly, much lower than planes. Changed direction abruptly, formation shifted slightly to a V-type shape and moved in a straight line notably in front of clouds. Slowly moved again and then instantaneously (at a visually disorienting speed) departed south/south east. Neither me or my spouse heard anything while this was happening.

Saw contrails behind the clouds and then a formation of what I thought looked like aircraft flying West to East. It took about 40-60 seconds to cross the sky where I was before I lost sight. I do have trees on both sides of where I was sitting/standing. They were lit up with what appeared to be soft white lights, don't remember seeing any other color lights. Almost looked like a caterpillar formation. Did not appear to me that they were that high in elevation. Had my hot tub running so I did not hear any sound. Same line of flight that I saw a group of aircraft flying single file spaced out one or two to a slot, that was about 20 aircraft and was early morning earlier this spring. Again, I assume both of these instances were military aircraft. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

Cont from sight summary…we were in awe..just watching them..thought it could be a blimp or something so I put my flashlight up at them…immediately right when I did that they faded slowly but in progression from first light to the last..and they were gone..they did t fade due to horizon or charge of light or sky it was all the same. They faded right when I put flashlight up at them. No noise..no plane..no blimp..no marker lights..NOTHING..and these were not up in space.they were lower than planes we saw later flying over.

A line of four spaced out bright red lights. Looked up images of space x and the do not match what we saw. We were driving home from work I look at the sky frequently and saw the lights. I said to my husband look at the sky and he saw and began recording. We got off the highway to get a better view and saw two more. They seems to be moving together then stopped and disappeared.

They were about 300 yards apart from each other. Traveling at a moderate rate of speed and unfortunately disappeared into low-level clouds. I checked air traffic control radar, no conformation.

It started out as scattered random light flashes, them we witness a massive triangle roughly 2 1/2 ft long per side and there are now 2 of the triangles joining and several dozen smaller aircraft are coming out of this thing. I am sober, and a vet. Perfect psych report, we arec witnessing this Rifht now. It's happening. Our cell phone cameras aren't picking them up they're to faint but look into this you have to.

Went out on my patio tonight to have a puff. I observed looking east above the mountain range, and what seemed above a low cloud deck a beam of light, with 2 other lights below it in the shape of a triangle. At first I thought it was a commercial jet or a few jets with there lights on moving through the clouds. Although after watching for about 2mins the lights did not move. At this point I grabbed my daughter to come out and see. We watched for about another 3 mins. Whatever we saw did not move. I would estimate maybe about 20000ft. No sound, no aviation blinking lights and again no movement. All of a sudden top light flashed out, 10 secs later bottom right flashed out, 10 sec after that bottom light flashed out! And was gone and back to normal skies WEIRDEST. I have a video of the event, but says it's to large..reach out if you want it.
