It looked like just a bright light in the sky, that did not move, until I took pictures with a telescope lens and it looks like a bright light that is zig zag and and kind of looks like a snake shape when you zoom into the pictures. It has a circle area around it where the light shines off.

There I was going outside for a smoke when out of the corner of my eye I see what looks like a plane flying overhead with the flashing lights until a second later I see another one... and another... and another! For 30 minutes solid the strange flashing lights flew overhead in a single file line formation from over the pacific ocean, heading from the west to the east inland, without a single sound. I thought I was going crazy so I went inside, woke my mom up, and got her mobile phone from her to take a short video and to make sure I wasn't going crazy. Not even she had seen anything like this before. There were many flashing lights following very closely to the single file line formation, clearly going in the same direction, almost as if it was an inexperienced pilot going off the directed flight path. 2 even crossed paths, not colliding, but clearly still traveling in the same direction. The only answer anyone could give me on the internet were Elon's Starlink schedule but after watching a video of Elon's Starlink schedule and view I can say with confidence that it wasn't a group of satellites orbiting in a single file line formation for 30 minutes straight. I've never seen anything like this before in all my almost 30 years of living. There were so many flashing lights flying overhead that my mom couldn't tell they were flashing until after she'd completely woken up and watched the small video I captured while watching later that morning. She thinks it was a military exercise but I've never seen nor heard of a military exercise being conducted in such a plainly obvious formation. These flashing lights moved way too fast to be satellites in visible orbit. They were almost all in sync aside from the randoms me and my mom spotted flying in close proximity to the others traveling from the west to the east. These flashing lights went on so long that they were still visible as the sun peaked and started hiding the night sky. Thank you for taking the time to read about what I have seen and experienced.

There has been a strange light just sitting in the sky for at least a week now, however, I don't know how long it went unnoticed by me before that. I live right off of 1-5 and 78th st, and I look out my window every night and it's just there, sitting there, not blinking or moving at all. at first, I thought it was a star, but it can't be because I can always see it when it's dark enough and it's brighter than the stars. sometimes, something blocks a tiny portion of the light, but I can't tell what.

Bend, OR
I saw what I at first thought were two satelites crossing paths which struck me as interesting. Then I noticed another following in what seemed to be the same path as one of the other ones. Well it wasn't over I counted up to 15 on the exact same course! They seemed to be spaced evenly apart. The last one I saw came about 3 or 4 minutes later and seemed to be slightly off course of the others. My neighbor drove in and showed him what I was seeing and he saw what I saw. I have been a star gazer all my life and I have seen many things in the sky, but nothing I couldn't explain. I have seen thousands of satelites in my life starting with Sputnick when I was a child. These weren't satelites.

On Friday 10 of April 2020 at 9:00 pm I returned home from work. I park my car and look at the stars and the sky was very clear but the color of the stars was orange and started to move. As I kept looking there were more orange lights moving in line. Other in circles. It was very impressive. I called my wife and told her to look at the sky and she saw the same thing. What an experience..

Ludlow (area), MA
I looked outside my window to get fresh and cool air when I looked up at the stars, few stars were in the air tonight and I saw one out in the distance, something odd had happened about it though, it was flashing. There had never been anything like a tower flashing in the night in that direction so it couldn't be a tower. I have an account with a flight tracking organization (flight aware) which showed no aircraft even flying in Massachusetts at the moment, so it couldn't be an aircraft in the air. So the only other thing it could be was some sort of UFO, I got binoculars to further look and saw it had red and green lights that were flashing, I couldn't tell the shape but looked kind of like a circle/traditional UFO shape. I then got my camera to try and zoom in and record it, I could zoom in and did but It looked like it had moved out of the frame, as if it was flying, although when I stopped looking through the camera and looked out the window i saw it was! still there, so I don't know how far away it is but it certainly has a bright light.

Boise, ID
Two nights in a row I have seen a bright white light which appears to be blinking, pulsating. It also appears to have a green and red light component which blinks. It's movement is mostly further up in the sky and slightly westward but is not smooth, instead appears to move intermittently, travelling very short distances. The light was first seen yesterday and was slightly (~1-2 degrees?) east of its position. Looking north, the light was 2-3 degrees off due north from south Boise. I did not hear anything out of the ordinary while watching it. I watched it appear to ascend for at least 1.5 hours. There appeared to be an intermittent faint red beam from the center of the light.

Northampton, PA
At about 9:00pm I was outside and say a very bright light north west of my home near Bath PA 18014 in the direction of the Blue Mountain. I noticed it was motionless and made no sound. I went inside to get my wife and daughter and they came out to see what I described. Their thoughts were it was a helicopter, a balloon with lights, or a blimp. As it did not move, made zero sound and was extremely bright I personally assumed it was a UFO. I have never witnessed such a bright motionless object. The distance from my vantage point was more than a mile but again, it was at the same place for 35-40 minutes and again, no sound.

The object was coming from the west, and was completely silent. It had a large white light that kept going back and forth, almost like an eye. It gave me the creeps and I froze, not wanting it to see me.. It suddenly vanished after passing over Bath Road. We proceeded to walk, and a second, identical object appeared following the first object. That one disappeared also! Again, I had that creepy feeling and felt like I did not want the object to detect us. They looked sinister. Unfortunately, I left my phone at home on the charger, so I could not take a picture.(MUFON CMS)

It was pretty far away but we seen small star like objects moving across the sky, one after another, there had to be 30 of them. It went on as long as we watched which we watched for at least an hour. This also occurred again on either the 7th or 8th, the same thing happened. Not sure what this is but I cannot find anything online that would explain what we saw. So they looked as if they were stars but they were moving. But not the way a shooting star would, I have seen those before as well. This was different. This was creepy feeling. Anyway, thought I would report it. At times the light would get brighter & dimmer as well.

Welch, MN
Around 8:30pm, in the SW sky, an orange/red light approached like an aircraft but it did not have typical airplane lighting. It was rising in the sky but proceeding at the speed of a helicopter. I assumed it was a medical helicopter because it was relatively low as it approached and it was moving slower than a jet. So I opened the window to listen for the motor but it was silent. So I went outside with binoculars (one of my family members came with me so we could both try to figure out what it was and why it made no noise). It seemed to turn upward since the orange light started to fade away. But in fact, the lights just seemed to turn off, or it was ascending vertically, because then it just appeared as a black object in the sky. When I took the binocs down to try to sight it in the sky, I lost it. It was in my view for about 3-4 minutes. It approached from the direction of Cannon Falls and Northfield and was heading northeast toward Welch when it disappeared. Latitude: 44.588060 Longitude: -92.726870

Steped outside to take a look at the pink moon. I started looking at this star that was on the opposite direction of the moon . Straight across . While looking in the oppsite direct of the moon , I noticed this object gliding through the sky . It was not bright . It had no lights . I thought it could be a bird but I did not any such wings .It must have been a large object since I could see it so clear through the sky .I coud say I can not make out weither it was a cylinder shape or disk . I believe the best color to describe what I saw tonight would be Brown/gold .I tried to get a video but the object or thing gliding through was way to high in the sky and also blending in the dark . I dont think it was a plane because I saw a plane that passed already at 10:52 pm . I did not hear any noises . I live in a very populated area . This is why I figured oh wow look a bird in the night but I really could not see wings flapping.

April 3, 2020 I was checking out the rising moon using a spotting scope at around 17:45 on 04/03/20. I have a Visionking 100X30-90 mounted on a tripod that faces East out my picture window toward Francis Peak in the Wasatch Mts. The moon had risen and I was looking at it using 30X when a strange object reflecting light floated in front of the moon and continue to drop toward the horizon at about a 10 or 15 degree angle. When I took my eye away from the scope I could not see it. I watched it drop toward the horizon for about 10 seconds. It was highly reflective. I tried to readjust my scope and then lost it. At first I thought it was a parachutist because it seemed to have something above it and something very reflective below. The moon was at a pretty high altitude, ~ 45 degrees above grade. I have been skydiving before and I cannot believe that someone could have been skydiving at such a high altitude. Another reason that I thought it was not a skydiver was how reflective it was. I have watched skydivers many times where they jump from the Ogden –Hinckley Airport and this was something very different. The object did float downward as if it was connected to a parachute, but that was the only similarity. I do not know what it was but it was very strange. It was not like anything I have ever seen in the sky before. Yours sincerely, JP

Chemainus (Canada), BC · Canada
staying at my parents house helping them get it ready to sell there house. They live at the bottom of Mt. Sicker and Copper canyon. The Chemainus River is the only thing separating them from the outback. I went outside at around 23:00 to let the dogs out. It had been raining on and off all day so it was mostly cloudy. I could see a small patch of stars. I was hearing a low pulsing type tone. Then I noticed in the clouds lights they were flashing redish white colours. So I stared in a kind of disbelief because I knew in the background we’re the clouds so that gave me reference it was low enough for me to see but To high for me to make out what it was and it it couldn’t be a star. It wasn’t really moving either it just kind of stayed there. It gave me enough time to get a my phone out for a 1.45m video but it doesn’t do justice. So ran inside and grabbed my high power rifle but couldn’t focus it my adrenaline was pumping. So then I ran upstairs and grabbed my! moms spotting scope as it is on a stand which made it very easy to focus once i focused in that’s when I realized I was seeing something I had never seen before it I could make out a red shape and it was like it was searching threw the clouds with a real Powerful white radiant wavy type light the light was moving at random not really looking in one spot long enough. first I thought maybe police on the mountain but then i realized it’s to far up and the clouds are to low for that to be in the mountain. I then ran inside woke up my dad he came out but it had disappeared I thought classic! I showed him the video and tried to explain it to him as we have seen weird stuff in the sky’s before always being out near the bush. I don’t know what it was but it sure got my blood pumping

Yukon, OK
My husband and I were traveling westbound, on a back country road, making a food delivery to a customer. Off to our left side, my husband noticed 2 very bright white lights initially trailing after each other. When he mentioned it to me, I dismissed him and said it’s just airplanes. Then, both white lights came to a dead stop in the sky. We both watched the first light turn blue (it was ahead of the other light behind it). We both started to feel uneasy and anxious. Then the one behind it took off in the opposite direction ( heading south west) at a very fast rate of speed, while the first one began moving in our direction. It changed back to a white light and appeared to stop over our vehicle. In that moment we lost our radio reception. It turned to absolute static. It hovered above us for what seemed like forever, in reality was more like 1 minute. There was no sound to it. After about 1 minute of hovering, it took off heading northeast at a high rate of s! peed. We eventually lost it, as it just vanished. We looked back to the south west and the 2nd white light had vanished as well. Once the one that hovered over our vehicle took off, we got our radio reception back.

Husband and I saw a craft of unknown shape in the Northwest area of the sky. I filmed the object for over a minute, and it seemed to dim and get smaller as the time passed.

Sun Vally, ID
At approximately 21:38 I looked out window and noticed the stars in sky. That’s when I observed one star was moving. I first assumed it was an airplane. But it suddenly was moving in sharp zigzag motions. It would stop and hover then go up and down slowly. Then up to left up to right then stop again. No plane ever moved in this manner. I asked another person to come look at the stars and they saw exactly what I was seeing. Every time it moved that other person noted what direction they saw it move which matched what I was seeing. We then went outside to continue observing. At 21:41 it was almost due East in sky. Nearly exact location of where the brightest star in the Bootes constellation should be. It just kept moving back and forth then a little short jogs then down slowly then up and to the right. We eventually came back inside and observed last movement approximately at 22:26.

Cisco, TX
At approximately 2055 CST as I was driving on a dark country road, I saw in the sky a bright red/orange colored light that slowly turned on and slowly turned off 4-5 times, then stopped completely and slowly traveled in a complete straight line across the sky. The mysterious lights appeared out of nowhere and it happened in two different sets of 4-5 slow flickers, each coming on as if they were on a set timer. What was absolutely shocking to me is that one set of the flickers appeared to go from south to north and the other set happened from north to south in the same timer pattern, same straight line pattern and same amount of flickers. I cannot explain what the mysterious lights were as they were too high to be someone from the ground lighting something like a firework and the fact that the direction in which the lights headed were a straight line pattern going across the sky, not up and down. No sounds were heard and did not see any planes in the sky. Tr ed to capture video evidence of lights but was too late.

San Tan Valley, AZ
I walked outside into my back yard and looked up at the stars as usual. I saw one moving" star" traveling in a NE direction. As I watched the first one another one came into view heading in the same direction. One by one my son and I saw one after another fly overhead in the same NE direction. About every 30 seconds or so. There was at one point two together close one right behind the other moving at exactly the same speed and direction. I had my binoculars and could only identify them as looking like moving stars. Heard no noise. There may have been more going overhead before I went outside but we counted twenty. They were high up perhaps like the height of high flying commercial planes.

Bella Vista, AR
Time of the event was somewhere between 9pm and 10pm. I stepped out back to let the dogs out during which time I always like to look at the night sky to catch a shooting star or the occasional satellite maybe. After a few minutes for my eyes to adjust to the night sky I noticed what appeared to be a satellite coming across the night sky in the area of the Pleiades constellation and moving directly toward Orion's belt and continuing in a straight line across the sky. There were several aircraft in view to get a fair judgement of altitude and speed. It moved exactly as a satellite however, it was only visible to the eye as a solid white light. No strobe or pulse and I can't recall seeing satellites that did not have a red light as well. Strange I thought. Once it was nearing out of sight I noticed another white light traveling about 5 seconds behind the first and moving along the exact same path. Again, strange but then came a third and fourth...I counted 16 i! n total while I was outside but I did not stay until it was over so I don't know the actual number of lights in total. All the lights moved along the exact same path and appeared to be spaced out perfectly evenly.

Enderby (Canada), BC · Canada
Approx. At 7:50 pm on March 21, 2020, I noticed two yellow lights in the sky overlooking the valley facing north from Saltwell Road, Enderby, the objects were fairly close to each other. I went to get my glasses and my camera because I realized they were not planes. As I watched, I saw another UFO come out from the western sky and move eastwardly, then another, then another one. There were at least 6 to 8 of them together and moving slowly easterly, I was like what on earth is it. I went outside and watched from the deck and I took a 5 second video and a few photos. I went back in and watched until they all dissappeared to the east. It lasted for approximately 5 to 7 minutes.

Warrenton, MO
My mom and I were out walking and as we looked up at the stars, we noticed a pinpoint, single white light moving across the sky at a fast speed. We have both seen airplane lights in the night sky of the same size, but agreed that none ever moved at that speed. We could not see the object that was the origin of the light since it was dark outside. As the light moved across the sky further from us, it was harder to see the light, almost like the light was on the bottom of the object and the angle that we were viewing it at was obstructing our visual of the light.
