Elverta, CA

Set the alarm by back sliding door and noticed a moving starlike object. No colored or blinking lights. It passed behind a tall tree and then another similar object followed the exact path as the first one. I kept watching and counted 10 objects that seemed to come from nowhere just appear out of the blackness and take exact path same speed as previous light. I never saw 2 lights together the following light would come after the previous light had disappeared. Event lasted approx 7 minutes.

Pinellas Park, FL

On May 2, 2020 around 22:15 I was standing outside and while looking up I saw what appeared to be a dash of yellow/gold light with a rounded shape in front of it, the visual lasted maybe 3 seconds, but I definitely saw it and it threw me off. After seeing it my eyes became watery and it freaked me out. About 10- 15 minutes later I was driving on the road I saw the light and I saw something white float from the ground up. After viewing this my eyes again became watery and all other lights started messing with my eyes, especially a certain star.

Saint Petersburg, FL

I was up late and playing GTA V and scrolling facebook at the same time. While scrolling I saw a post saying, "did you see that in the sky just now?" So I went outside and I looked each way I could but didn't see anything. I moved to the road to get a clearer view and I noticed the stars, and I noticed the North Star, so I turn and I noticed other bright lights. It was 3 lights in a line, the were moving very slow and then they sped up and vanished. I didn't think much of it and my partner and I went to sleep not long after. The next morning I woke up and went about my normal day but then I scrolled through facebook again and noticed other people talking about it on live videos and posts . I started looking online to see if there were any real reports and there were none but this website popped up so I decided to contribute what just happened. I am in St. Petersburg Florida and this was around 11:49pm to 12:30 somewhere in there.

Lincoln, AL

My wife and I witnessed these reddish white lights traveling in a straight line. I am a master machinist and my wife does advertising for an internet company. We are in our early 30s. I was walking out to my truck to get something and the moon caught my attention. So I was just looking at the moon pondering how crazy it is that it's even there, and I notice that the stars are moving in a straight line. They looked like distant stars that were moving from my right to left. I looked at the other stars and they weren't moving. It took me a second to realize that they were even moving, then I realized that there were more to the right. They were moving in a straight line. It's hard to tell how far away they were. They wereoving very smoothly. It was very odd at the least. They made no sound. That's when I yelled for my wife to come look and make sure she could see it also. They just kept coming in that straight line, very fast but not fast I know it sounds weird! but there were prolly 15 to 20 I would say. It gives me the chills. Never seen anything like it. Definitely not planes or helicopters or drones. I am still asking her every couple of hours what do you make of what we saw last night and she says I have no idea honey. So I googled to see 9f anything or anyone had witnessed it also last night or for similar sightings by people in the past to get an explanation and it led me to this website.

Clearwater, FL

Got up to 3:15am was attracted to look at a “star like” that suddenly went to a blinding bright envelope of bright light.

Oklahoma City, OK

We were on our way inside when we seen something flying in the sky. The way it moved did not resemble an aircraft that we know of. It kept moving around. My son thought it was an airplane, he asked if it was in the video I captured.

Boiling Spring Lakes, NC

4/28/2020 Boiling Spring Lakes, NC USA Latitude: 34-01'57'' N Longitude: 78-04'01'' W Approx 2115 EST Night sky clear, waxing crescent moon While walking my dog tonight, and casually watching the night sky and identifying constellations, I saw a night-sky event that I’ve never seen before. I follow astronomy and am reasonably familiar with night sky objects. What did I see? Along an arc running from tree-top level in the northwest thru a point directly overhead and continuing southeast along that same arc, a succession of star-like objects that, taken singly, would be thought to be stars. They looked like stars and had magnitudes similar to most easily visible stars in the night sky. However, they were moving, and were spaced equidistant from each other along that arc, a distance I’d guess was 10 degrees or so (about the width of one fist extended at arm’s length) in the sky. The event lasted for maybe 90 seconds to two minutes, at which time the last object in the string of objects disappeared in the southeast. I don’t think they were commercial aircraft because there were so many of them. I heard no engine sounds and they kept in perfect formation. Maybe it was a military exercise or perhaps a launch of low-earth-orbiting satellites. I’d be interested to know if anyone saw the same thing, or if there's an “optical” or other explanation.

Raymond, WA

At 10;40 pm PDT I saw a light that looked like a star (a background star, not bright like Venus) moving from west to east – as I continued to watch, another light came from the same spot in the sky and started to glide east as well. Over the course of about 15 minutes, I saw over two dozen (I stopped counting at 16) of what looked like a star, not a bright star, just a background star, coming from the same spot in the western sky and moving in different directions. The lights were not evenly spaced when they arrived, sometimes one would appear soon after the one before. They each had their own course and eventually had spread out in a spoke-like pattern, going north, east and south. They were all going the same speed, fairly slow. The yellowish light did not change or dim, there was no blinking or colored lights. They appeared to be within our atmosphere, like a high plane. I just happened to be looking in the right place. Anyone glancing at the sky would! think it was a star, it moved slowly and it took me a minute to confirm that these particular stars were actually moving. They each stayed in a linear direction, no turns or movement other than gliding in a line like spokes. It was like a clown-car, they just continued to emerge from the same spot in the sky. Eventually, they stopped emerging.

Warsaw, MO

My brother, my son, and I were fishing next to the Truman Dam on the upper bank below the nature center. We looked up and saw a string of lights come from out of no where traveling towards us from the far end of the lake. It travelled above us and went past us. All were traveling in unison at same speed almost like they were tethered together and each disappeared into space. Then about 10-15 min later, it happened again but at the other side of the dam bridge. I've never seen anything like it in my life. I tried to video tape with my phone both times but it would not show up on my video. No way this could have been military. There was absolutely no sound. Just bright lights in a traveling string.

Chesapeake, VA

Was out on back porch and looked up toward the east. The sky was clear and I saw about five lights, they looked exactly like stars, moving in a perfect line southbound. The lights were perfectly distanced apart (about 20 feet) and appeared extremely high. The lights were moving a bit faster than an airliner would fly at cruising altitude. After about 10 seconds, the first light disappeared and the remaining lights all disappeared in succession at the same spot the first light disappeared. The area where I live is near Fentress Airfield which is a landing practice field for the USN. I have been around military aircraft most of my life and know these lights were not known aircraft (civilian or military). There was no sound at the time.

Palmyra, IN

Dogs scratching and whimpering at door. Observed a dark craft the size of a barge over pond in the field. Object was two stories still and quite. Was stationary for 90 seconds, felt a strong gust of wind and object hurled vertical at amazing speed and was gone. Went to the pond the next day and the water was noticably lower and was mud splashed around the bank, found a few fish in the feild.

Peotone, IL

Around 9pm Sunday near I57 and Wilmington Rd. myself and 3 other family members saw a line of 60 to 100 lights in the northwest sky in a single line formation fly into what we thought to be a star and one by one disappear...Starlink satilites?

Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) · Brazil

Seis ovnis como se fossem estrelas navegaram em linha reta mantendo uma distância semelhante uma das outras e simplesmente desapareceram com um flash rumo a escuridão em meio as estrelas...uma após a outra num intervalo de uns 30 segundos. Céu estrelado e atmosfera límpida.

Lake Stevens, WA

translucent white bird or plane-shaped craft, could clearly see a massive curved set of wings and a body, flying well above normal cruising altitude for birds, completely silent, flying from west to east across the lake. Gliding semi-slowly.

Nickerson, NE

as my girlfriend and I were exiting our hot tub, she noticed an object that had a similar shape as a winged drone moving directly over us at a very slow speed in a North East direction at an altitude of @ 25'. the object was semi transparent but a definite outline could be seen. It appeared to move like a stingray in water but without the large motion sweep of its wings. It was obviously not a bird or any other flying animal. The relatively fixed axis of the "wings" would rule that out the translucent appearance would discount any technology available to the public. It was as if it were "cloaked" to use a sci-fi term. It flew so slowly you could have paced it at a brisk walk. there were no lights and it made no noise. wing span I would estimate to be @ 10-12'. there was no clear distinction of a cockpit or fuselage or tail rudder and the object appeared to be flat, yet able to change shape to some degree. It was almost as if it were an ap! parition. We both witnessed it until it changed flight path slightly and disappeared behind another building on my property. Our dog seemed to be scared as we entered the house after the event. This would be out of character for him. I don't know if it is related but as we were sitting in the hot tub, the stars and planets did not seem to make their normal path across the night sky. it seemed as if they sat still for @ and hour or so.

Butte Falls, OR

Large stationary light. Largest light in the sky with a fog like glow around it like a car headlight. No other stars had any foggy glow. No clouds. Northeast from Butte F alls. To the right of the stationary light was a streak of light i thought was a shooting star. The streak dissapeared and reappeared numerous times and i could see lights in the streak moving upwards. They appeared vertically and horizontally,like a half cross. The streaks got really bright then dissapeared immediately like a light switch. The stationary light dimmed and brightened then dimmed out completely but i still saw the glowing fog for another 5 minutes before it was gone.
