Idaho Falls, ID
Stepped out of my shop to walk to my house just before midnight, Crystal clear night, no visible clouds. Saw two soft white lights moving southward, in perfect parallel. Initially thought to be a low flying plane due to the quality of light and velocity, but then noticed I could clearly see starlight between the two points as they traveled. No sound, no silhouette of any kind, but it traveled 30-40 degree arc of the sky in 2-3 seconds before disappearing behind trees. My second thought was a meteor, but the two lights traveled in perfect parallel, and the light didn’t alter in intensity nor leave any sort of trail. I posted on a local FB page asking if anyone had just seen some strange lights, and a couple people confirmed they saw something, one woman commented she had a satellite tracker app and confirmed that there were no visible satellites in the area. (Photo of the sky view in daylight attached with approximate trajectory of lights.

My housemate got my attention and asked me to come outside. She pointed to a bright orange light in the sky to the south of my house. It pulsates sort of and had beams of light making it look almost “furry.” She had been watching it a minute or so before she called me out. She said it had been moving too quickly for a plane. It was much brighter than any sort of star or planet, and flashing/radiating light. It had been moving East to west horizontally but then stopped for a bit before diminishing in size and disappearing to the south.

South Phoenix, AZ
Looking south from Phoenix to the south mountain. No one really hikes there at night . Rarely see if anyone do. Never seen any vehicle go up there let alone multiple lights I saw this last month but I was able to film this time. One light appears and then there’s second light at least 30 seconds and then multiple lights at least 10 to my count appears. All in line, multiple lights moving to the second light is real bright. It appears that many lights went in to or pass the bright light then the middle lights appear even brighter. Multiple lights seems go in or pass the bright light in the middle. All disappeared right after that.

Chillicothe, OH
We (two bus loads of conference attendees) were watching the show around 9 PM (right when it got dark) and 3 bright lights (luminescent like nothing i have seen in the sky, much brighter) appeared out of nowhere moved horizontally to the right and just hovered silently, it did drop suddenly again at one point maybe 20 feet. It's hard to tell how long it was but the lights all appeared to be connected to one object, like oval shaped. It possibly could have been 30' long and was less than a mile away and was not far from the ground. It was definitely not a drone (too big, too quick, too silent) it was not a meteor. It was nothing like any of us have seen before. It hovered almost like it was watching the show (and us)(fake gunfire, flames, bright lights etc were going on). It hovered for a few moments and then zipped off as quickly as it had appeared (blurred lights) The show was going on so it possibly could have been making noise that we didn't hear, but no way it was a plane, too low to the ground. One member of my party said they saw planes near it. I saw lights off to the side but was too transfixed on the object trying to figure out if it was part of the show and going to come closer and land in the theater. Couldn't take a picture as flash is not allowed in the theater and it just had turned dark. There were 4 of us from my home State that I know saw it. Probably other attendees saw it too although most might have been looking down at the show. We didn't say anything to anyone but talked about with each other for hours after and the next day so it was noteworthy and unusual….. Possibly UAP?

West Milford, NJ
I was walking my dog in my front yard. I looked up to see a bright white light/object traveling west to east, far away. There was an airplane flying overhead as well, with it's blinking lights clearly visible. The object I saw was much brighter than the airplane and looked far away - all I could make out was a bright, white light. The sun was setting but it was not completely dark yet; the outline of the plane was still visible. Some stars were lightly visible. I watched the light travel from west to east, at first looking like a straight pattern, but all the sudden jumping off it's course and then all of the sudden back on it's original course. A modern plane could not have made the maneuver, it was a rapid acceleration/jump. The light eventually passed behind the treeline and I lost visibility of it. The time was exactly 8:20 PM because I texted my girlfriend right after and looked at the time stamp.

Me and my 7 year old brother were getting out of the pool and we looked into the sky and saw the lights bobbing up and down across the sky moving and there was a bright flash lower in the sky not a gun or flare shot and we tried to record it but we didn’t catch it and we are making this report And might have been one side of the ship.

At 8:55 PM on 22 August, 2022, we observed a line of lighted objects traveling ESE from the east most star of Ursa Major at about 80 degrees above the horizon. The objects traveled in a straight line and were evenly spaced along the entire line. The direction of sight was blocked and we could not see how far the formation traveled in the east south easterly direction. It is uncanny that the time of this sighting was at the same time as the sighting last night. This sighting spread across a much longer portion of the sky. Last night the objects were in a tighter formation, 2 or 3 abreast. We will be watching the night sky tonight 23 Aug. to see if they reappear. Again the objects omitted no detectable noise. Matches description of Starlink satellites.

Sitting on back porch around 2115, on Aug 21, 2022, in Clovis ,California, watching the sky, relaximg as I do most evenings. I see movement and look toward Cassiopeia, which is in the W shape tonight. On the right arm, headiing E to ENE, I see what struck me as a craft. I thought airplane at first, but the speed was just nuts. I got the inpression it was at high altitude--there was no sound, not even delayed jet noise. It did not have red/green flashers like you see on the fuselage and wings of planes; the craft was just white light that seemed to pulse slightly. I honestly couldn't tell if it was emitting light or reflecting it because of the pulsing. The light flew on a straight path, eastwardly, at a high rate of speed. I never lost aight of it, even though I got the impression it was moving away from my position rapidly. From where I was sitting, the plane moved downward in my view, from the sky toward the mountains in the distance, as it was heading away frim me. Then, out of nowhere, just above the top of the mountains (from my seated view), a bright flash occurred directly in the flight path of the light craft and it dossapeared into the flash. The flash lasted about a second or less, like a hole opened up, or a portal of some kind, just long enough for the craft to enter and close up again. I came in the house, a little shook. Put on some actual clothes, instead of my bathrobe, and went back out at 2130. I saw two fighter jets racing toward where I saw the flash. They circled around a few times, like they were looking for what I saw. I came back in, told my wife, and looked online for ways to report what I saw. Funny! I just scrolled down to answer your additional questions and saw this: There were electrical or magnetic effects, such as a car engine stopping. About 5-10 minutes before my sighting, the power in the house flickered 3 times. It was like the whole house just hiccuped, not like s traditional outage experience. Didn't think that might be related, but there you go.

Toronto, ON · Canada
I live on the edge of lake Ontario, at the top of the Scarborough bluffs. The view from my balcony is approx 160 degrees, with nothing but sky. I know every flight ' route' landing at Pearson airport, and the Toronto Island airport. I can see 3 to 4 planes at equal distances to one another at the same altitude entering the descent into Pearson. I know that It takes about 3-4 full minutes for me to watch a plane come into sight from the east, and north, and lose sight of them as they travel west and south. At approximately 1:30 am, My huband and I watched a bright orange light appear. Out of nowhere. We did not see it come from any direction. It suddenly appeared, really bright orange. The first thing that made me notice it, was that it didn't belong there. Then, we noticed that it was completely stationary. It didn't move. I opened the balcony door to get my binoculars. I was afraid that if I took my eyes off of what I was actually looking at and grab the binoculars, it would go away. But it didn't. I saw it through binoculars. There was a constant glowing orange light above and below. In the middle was a thin darkish center. Imagine a hamburger. The dark area looking like a patty. It did not have any wings like a plane. After a couple of minutes, the light started to fade as if it was going backwards. Into the distance. Then about 5 seconds later, the same bright orange object reappeared about 45 degrees to the west. I looked at it again with the binoculars. Same thing again. Completely stationary, then faded quickly. We never saw it fly/ move. It just turned on a bright light in the dark, then after a couple of minutes, faded like turning down a dimmer switch. I know what I saw, and really wish that I could come up with a bs explanation that I could believe. I was 16 when Omni magazine came out. I had a subscription. I have had an interest in science and space most of my life. I am 60 years old. In my lifetime, I was there before man went to the moon. Before the International space station. Before we proved tachyons were faster than the speed of light, inventing the large Hadron collider, proving the existence of the higgs boson particle, amending the theory of 13 parallel universes to only 11. And, apparently black holes exist, and they are evrywhere. I know what I saw, and I can say with certainty , it was an unidentified aerial phenomena. I cannot tell you how happy I am that I found this website. Because, there is no way I will ever say what I saw out loud. Ever. To anyone. Even my husband who witnessed it, is in denial. He knows what he saw, and cannot explain it. He stopped talking, shut down and went to bed within minutes. There was no scale to judge distance, but the object's altitude was the same height as the commercial flights that cross my horizon. I take no medications, I have no mental illness. This is the first time I have ever reported anything, ever.

My wife first seen the light, she sent for my attention. What we seen was a bright ball of white light that would become visible, move in an upward short straight line then vanish, then reappear in it’s original location and repeat. The time varied between when the light would become visible again, sometimes a few seconds to a couple of minutes. The last time we seen it, the light showed up in a completely new location and sped fast in a straight line completely disappearing. The ball of light left no tracer or tail behind it as it vanished or during its performance. I’m not sure if this was two crafts. As we all sat at the end of our driveway waiting for it to return, I noticed a new ball of light over some trees, in a new location in the sky. This time the light would get bright, much brighter than originally, then vanish and reappear in a new spot over the trees. This happened around 5 times. I don’t know if this was the same or 3 separate objects. We sat on the driveway for 20 or so minutes watching the sky waiting for them to return. Nothing that we noticed showed back up. The sky was clear of clouds and it was dark enough to see many stars.

As the light approached the 12 o clock position we both realized that it was not anything we had ever seen before. It was like a train of bright lights gliding east and very long, no noise. Was NOT an airplane, jet, helicpoter, fireworks, etc. This was a space ship ! Approx 20 seconds after the sighting, we saw three bright objects - UFOs off to the north following the spaceship in unison. We did not have our phones outside with us and thus no pics

Noticed object driving down Lawrence rd in gray maine. Slowed down to get a better look at it. Was a very thick long lite! We had visual of it for a few minutes and it wasn’t moving. We both turned to look at the picture my daughter had taken and looked back up and it was gone! We drove about a mile into a open field and could see in every direction but nothing in sight!

Red Creek, NY
Figured it was just an aircraft or drone maybe. Never seen anything like this change length and brightness then fade quickly. Appeared dim then got brighter and changed length, thin, short to long appeared to be white dot type lights. White lights in a line. From the distance we were at, guessing about a a couple of miles from the shore. At that distance I’d say about 100 feet + long or more and guessing around a few miles up. Appeared, got brighter, lengthened then faded out like someone turning a dimmer switch. No noise from where we were. Tried to get a video with my IPhone but was too dark and far to appear in my screen. Very dark star lit night. We did see other aircraft in the sky, but not at that altitude. Lasted about 3 minutes maybe 5. Four of us saw this. My wife and I , and my two neighbors that were sitting with us. Please note this is at my summer home in Red Creek NY. Can contact me if you wish, but not necessary, but felt it was necessary to report this, especially during global conflicts with Russia, China etc. and knowing Fort Drum is not too far away.

13 weird lights came up from behind the tree line, the all slowly came up then went across the sky slowly until they each disappeared. I have a few pictures of them, I used night mode on my phone which requires me to hold it still for 3 sec to get a perfect picture, I was shaky though so it's not a perfect picture, some of them disappeared before I could get my phone out.

METHUEN, MA
Sun was still out in the east. Very clear day. There were 2 helicopters in my area possibly police and I was watching those when in the background and high in the sky an object flew across the sky at extreme speed. Almost like a shooting star. It was brightly lit perhaps from the reflection of the sun. Then disappeared. Moments later I saw a second craft which may have had more movement and not a straight line. Perhaps they were fighter jets or cruise missiles though to my untrained eye they appeared really high up and moving extremely fast. I couldn't hear anything though the helicopter would have masked the sound being closer and louder.

There are one or three lights. If it turns there are three lights. There is no visible craft just lights. They are not very high. A aircraft can fly about it. The lights are very close to Detroit Metropolitan Airport

Indianapolis, IN
While driving this morning I noticed a strange, pastel yellow light in the sky; I noticed it because it was a shade of yellow that was distinct from everything in the skyline. As I saw this, I was going westbound on 465 in Indianapolis on the north side just before the north split to meridian/us 31. The light appeared to elongate or stretch out away from the point of origin before snapping to the new point and collapsing back to its original size. It then disappeared. There was only one source of light, it moved in a linear fashion, and it stayed the same color (did not appear to change color or have an aura-like appearance).

My youngest noticed “weird planes” in the north, we were out star watching w/ binoculars, hoping to see aurora - there had been a classX prediction. We saw this instead. It was unexpected. I turned my binoculars onto these “planes” & they were disappearing & reappearing- they were the color of Mars or alderbaran. Orange-pinkish but very bright. They were doing a long elliptical circuit and we were at a narrow end as they would appear at about 338 degrees NNW go to about 28 degrees NNE & then disappear behind something large & invisible. This went on for hours. Sometimes it looked like one light would get bright & then spit 2 or 3 dimmer lights out and then they would get very bright and then bumble over each other to the NNE. Round and around. Sometimes we’d see sparks around them- we weren’t sure if those were very distant plane strobes. We saw planes fly over these craft - not sure if the pilots saw them or not. We have had several other experiences on Aug 23, Aug 26, Sept 29th- but this was the longest one. Transcription from journal that night: Aug 18/19 1139 pm -135 am “I saw orange rotating lights (UFOs) over the Northern quadrant I’d the sky over my neighbor’s house for several hours almost until 2 am. Commercial aircraft flew thru the sea would been below the lights so not sure if anyone saw them. I estimate they were above I-44-Sooner road interchange area broadly- over Jones/Luther. It looked as though these lights were on a circuit making a long oval with the narrow end where we could see. This phenom was witnessed with the naked eye and binoculars. The lights were tangerine color - saw up to 5 parts at a time. I’ve read that similar lights have been witnessed over Shawnee and Edmond -all the way back to the 1960s. They had zero strobes no red or green lights , sometimes one light appeared to split into several lights. We came in after hearing something crash in the trees behind the house several times- we believe that was an owl with its kill- because something clacked it’s jaw or beak at me from the brush which is owl behavior. It spooked us so we stayed in after that. The lights were intermittent with long pauses for their return on the circuit. We had originally been hoping to see aurora borealis because we had a solar mass ejection and a solar storm. So this was unexpected. They looked like displays of UFOs on Disclose and other videos. I haven’t reported it. There was Much nuclear saber rattling with Russia recently so this makes me think something was up. And that the risk of Nukes is genuine since UFOs are historically known to make appearances when nuclear disasters are possible. This does not thrill me.” —————————————————- I was unable to get photos or video - the lights were too small and far away in the dark. We had several more sightings in addition to that - I have a lot of questions
