Kampenhout (Belgium) · Belgium
There were maybe 50 lightspots in a very straight formation, at the begin of the tail there lightspots were close to each other and towards the end of the tail less and less dense, lenght of the tail +/-200meter or even longer. At the end of the tail the spots were not regular spaced. The spots flow over Zaventem airport towards Antwerpen. The speed was quite low, similar to and normal airplane. Plausible explanation, a meteor that exploded but quite odd to have so much points. I tried to take a video on my mobile phone, but got only a dark video. Space Link satellites. PD

St. George, UT
I was in my backyard around midnight with my wife, my brother in law and my nephew. My nephew pointed to the north and when I looked there were approximately 100 white lights traveling in a single file line toward the northeast. The individual lights were similar in appearance and speed to when a satellite passes over head. The first part of the procession the lights were close together. The ones on the end were at different intervals with three brighter lights in the rear. The altitude was somewhere between near orbit to airliner cruising altitude. The lights were constant white, without the red and green anti-collision lights associated with aircraft. The objects continued on and eventually faded from sight. We managed to get a single cellphone photograph. Space X satellites, being released from the Falcon 9 capsule. PD

Fargo, ND
We were sitting outside near downtown Fargo and we looked up and saw a cluster of 25 to 30 individual dots traveling in a straight line from west of southwest to east of northeast. The cluster gave off a white haze and behind the cluster were 5 or 6 stragglers that followed the exact same path. They moved a little bit faster than a satellite in the night sky and had no visible blinking lights. Maybe unrelated, but after the lights were unable to be seen a neighbor's dog barked for a few seconds. Possible sighting of cluster of Space Link satellites. PD

Norfolk, NE
There were about 20 aircrafts shaped like the size of stars because they were so far away and they were in a line formation moving South east. Spread out line with one following far in the rear away from others. Was in a steady motion about the same as an aircraft but it could’ve been an aircraft because of the number of objects and how close they were. Colors were ranging from orange to a yellow-white. We have corrected the date above. We suspect an overflight of the SpaceLink satellites. PD

Many UFO's spotted flying from South SW to North NE in a straight line. 100+ white dots with no tail or trail were less concentrated and even few and far between at the head and tail. Very concentrated in a perfectly straight band all the same size and luminosity. We could not determine the distance of items and there was no breaking or burning noticed as they flew across the entire sky. Took about 2 minutes to fly across they sky. This was right over the Mall of America. My dad and I were mesmerized by the objects as they looked like a fleet. The last few objects were noticed to be following far behind but were traveling the exact same speed as the rest of the objects. I have a picture of this but it's not high quality. Possible sighting of cluster of Space Link satellites?? PD

I saw approximately 100 lights in a straight line with several lights following, moving slowly across the sky. I witnessed this from my back porch at approximately five minutes after Midnight They were in a perfect line and spaced very closely together but there was a small separation between each light, almost like a string of Christmas tree white lights pulled tight moving all together at the same speed. I would approximate the height to be 10 thousand feet. Possible sighting of cluster of Space Link satellites?? PD

It was a long line of twinkling lights falling slightly Northeast toward the ground, far off in the sky. It looked like a crack in the sky at first, but I noticed tiny twinkling lights kind of coming down in a stream. SpaceLink satellites. PD

On the Evening of May 24th, 2019, there was a straight line formation of over 30 bright white orbs flying south. This lasted less than five minutes as it flew directly south, all in formation, spacing from nearly right over each other as well as trailing hundreds of miles back in the far sky.

4 bluish-white lights flying in a circle and meeting in the middle. Could not have been any event or music festival lighting as they were moving North-East. I followed the lights for about an hour until I got right under them and they just vanished. There is two small private airports in the area but the lights were seen in the opposite direction. Also, no aircraft to my knowledge could emit that kind of light formation. It also could not have been a drone because these lights were very far apart. (It was seen in the next town over) The objects were silent and as they were flying in a circle they were also "wobbling"

I was looking out at a star but this star is somewhat odd because it seemed to have different color lights admitting from it. I started seeing some oranges lights coming above the tree line. What made me look out was the loud plane like sound but it didn’t last long like usual. Then all of a sudden 3 quote large spot light orange lights, very low in a v like shape appeared right out of no where! The three lights looked like they were right over our house. They stayed in the v for about 10 seconds. I grabbed my phone and flashed a picture and they then started moving in a fast circler way and just disappeared completely after about 30-45 seconds. It was like they just came out of the stars. Afterwards tons of planes started roaming the same area. It’s calmed down, but you can still hear craft outside.

Pawleys Island, SC
At approximately 9:40 pm on May 14, 2019, we were sitting on the second floor balcony after dinner. My friend exclaimed “What’s that?” I immediately looked up and saw something in the night sky to the SSE of our location. As soon as I looked up and saw the first lights, which were three horizontal lights, those lights disappeared as if they were “turned off”. As those first lights were turning off, another set of three lights turned on, one at a time, then all three staying on for maybe 20 seconds. Each light was shaped like a thin wide cat’s eye; bright white with an orange glow….I know the exact time as I had my cell phone in m hand and immediately raised it to take a photo; the object doesn’t show in the photo. We sat around speculating what it was and still don’t know. I believe I could see the form of something behind the lights as if the lights were headlights on the object, whether a plane or whatever it is, It did look dark.

My friend and I were sitting outside on the front porch when I noticed a blinking light. At first I thought it was just a twinkling star but as I was looking closer I realized it was actually multi colored blinking lights, in a sort of tight diamond shape.(white, blue green) Then all of a sudden we felt like there were spider webs on us- same sensation but we couldn't see it and couldn't wipe anything off. This prompted us to get up and move, and then I looked up at sky again. The thing I saw before was still in the same place but another showed up that was moving. It started in a circular flying pattern and then started flying straight, then in a wavy/zigzag pattern, and back to straight. At that point we looked around for others. We found another that looked like the first, holding still in the sky, across from the first. Distance is hard to judge, but they seemed fairly far apart. While watching the second still light group, another one that blinked red appeared near it out of nowhere. It also flew in a circle and then went past the second still one. It was slow moving but as it passed the still light, the white lights of the still light group got brighter and the red light got brighter on the traveling one- as if they were signaling one another. We later noticed 2 others holding still in just the same way as the first 2 and the four of them were clearly holding a square formation as the others flew around. Several more traveling red light formations appeared and did the same circular motions before going straight. Most moved very slowly but some went unusually fast. After about 15 minutes, all of the moving lights had disappeared as quickly as they had appeared, but the four still diamond ones held their formation. I noted 8 crafts seen, but it could have been more. It was hard to keep track because they kept disappearing. Halfway through this experience, a commercial airliner flew through the formation seemingly unfazed.

My dad and I were driving as I noticed 3 bright white “things” flying in a triangle formation. At first I figured they were planes, but their flight pattern was inconsistent, almost as if they were hovering around or flying like birds. So then I assumed maybe they were birds. But I see birds flying around everyday and they just weren’t the same. They looked too big to be birds, and were SO shiny, and moved to fast to quickly (at speed of planes w/ flight of birds). When I first saw them I’d say they may have been 7-10 miles down the road (if looking up) then within the 3 minutes were 20-30 miles away (give or take). They would all shine extremely bright, but then all at the same time would fade and disappear into an almost translucent state. Then they would shine again extremely bright, and turn translucent again. This happened 3-4 times and was consistent. Their flight pattern was in perfect triangle formation, but at one point they slowed down, almost to a stop and rotated around one another, then kept going back in their perfect triangular shape. They continued on and disappeared from sight. My dad also saw them but not for as long as I did. Though he also had no explanation for it. We talked about it for a while, trying to come up with what it could have been, and we think either ufo or some sort of government exercise with something we don’t know about. I’ve seen a lot of birds and a lot of planes, but this just didn’t fit. It was weird!! Unfortunately, I didn’t get a video.. I know that’s a big part of legitimacy, but I didn’t want to miss anything for myself. I just want to share this experience so that if anyone else saw this, they know they aren’t the only ones who did.

At approximately 2115 pst local, I witnessed two (2) dully lit objects, in formation, flying from behind me on a north/NW course at a remarkable speed. I observed the craft from under a patio until they nearly cleared the roofline of the house due north of me (approximately 40 ft). They commenced a perfectly coordinated port turn, effectively at 90-100 degrees due west (compensating for 5 degrees flux in this AO). I quickly lost visual observation of these craft, and quickly alerted another person in the household, dousing all interior and exterior lights. There was no sound. There were no navigation or anti-smack lights on either craft. There was no audible noise or especially boom, given the approximated EXTREMELY high rate of speed. There was no afterburner visible or audible. From orientation of seated, facing southwest, The lights appeared at the left hand side of Cancer and disappeared around Mars/Delphod. I have a decade + of aerospace training, mfg and operations (.mil & civilian) - this was something I’ve never experienced before. The course corrections, motivation/power source and speed are beyond explanation.

Hillsboro, OR
I was helping a friend move his car from my parking lot. As I walked out into the night air, I suddenly stopped in my tracks and looked up (I still don’t know why or what reason I did that) as my friend continued walking. It was that strong sense you get when someone is looking at you that drew me to look up, I think. (I don’t know which direction, like NW, SE, etc. …sorry, I’m a girl) – but I can tell you I was in Hillsboro, OR, in the Orenco Platform District. Though its light(s) were very dim at first, my eyes locked on it immediately. It was way too high up to be a plane (and a few did cross underneath as I stared). It blinked at me slowly, as if acknowledging that it was seeing me (or watching the area). The light strobed from soft white to yellow to blue and red, in random order. It was stationary, hovering, but it would jerk to its left or right in a millisecond, then up or down, but for the most part, remained in its general spot high up in the clouds. Then I started noticing other lights just like it in the clouds, in the periphery. Together the lights formed a gigantic circle, outlining some kind of enormous craft half-hidden behind the clouds, and just…surveying. I sat out there for a good 45 minutes and it continued to blink and slightly jolt and return to its position. And it was clear there were many others with him…or it. It was eerie but absolutely mesmerizing. I did take pics and videos with my iPhone but they aren't great.

One lead craft and the following craft appeared to be following from the rear in the 8 oclock position. As I mentioned they were silent. Both craft had only red slowly strobing lights. They lights blinked in an alternating sequence. The front craft first then the rear craft. This pattern repeated constantly from the beginning to the end of the event. The lights appreared to be on the tips of wings if it had wings. Not on top just on the ends. No green or white lights were seen. No sound of prop or jet propulsion. The skies were dark and the weather is broken clouds..55 degrees and 41% humidity.

Troutdale, OR
Looking south 2 white star lights were noticed as unfamiliar stars at roughly 40 degrees above the horizon spread vertically roughly 5-8 degrees. Upon closer inspection, they were moving as one with a very faint white glow between the two. It appeared to increase speed and departure angle leaving our perceivable vision at roughly 65-70 degrees above the horizon. At this point we discussed and believe what we saw began in our atmosphere. Its movement was steady, stable, and smooth. At first spot it appeared as 2 stars that should not be there quickly changed to low orbit satellites and quickly to those are connected, that is huge, and that is moving extremely fast. Whatever it was, to us it was pretty awesome to see and to wonder about.
