Girard, PA
A large elongated octagon shape with scattered lights floated overhead, heading north/northwest. It appeared as a shadow against the night sky and covered almost all of the area between the stars Pollex and Alhena. There was no way to compare the height at which it was traveling. No sound. It reminded me of a floating city of lights.

Nairobi (Kenya), Kenya
Me and my wife were strolling in our garden and it was twilight, meaning the sky was not pitch dark but has some glow along with some star especially the evening star was bright. Suddenly we saw bright flash of light like a bright LED bulb shined and followed by other such lights one after the other in a straight line covering a distance of about 4 feet in the sky. as if the lights were placed an straight panel. The lights glowed 4 to 5 times in over at least 8-10 seconds. But we are very clear that the light from wherever it was cumming from the source was stable and was not moving across the sky. The source must have been very very far, beyond the comprehensible limits since we could not see any Object or any shape as such, especially since we could see a couple of planes flying much further but still could make the shape of the aircraft. But the light were pretty well coordinated and one after the other in a straight line. This 'thing' was placed in north! eastern direction and directly in a straight line opposite from the constellation of Roman Soldier's waist knife. when these lights were glowing a similar light band was at the same time displaying similar pattern and was near to the head of the constellation of the Roman soldier, placed almost in the 'true' east direction. This was also behaving almost similarly to the light in the northeast direction. But after about 8-10 second of the display no further happening, though we kept watching for another hour and spotted a few aircrafts and a couple of satellites passing by, but no such happenings. We initially thought maybe it was some sort of meteor shower but the perfect coordination of the lights in a straight line covering 3-4 feet in sky, at the very same spot and the simultaneous lights from two different places, a simple natural phenomenon dosn't seem likely.... still wondering what is that we say.

I was traveling north on Hayden Rd. just after 7:30 pm on Friday, 21 February 2020 and making a right turn into the complex my mother lives in when I noticed what looked like a single engine plane banking down toward the intersection ahead of me. I stopped my truck just inside the driveway and watched out my open driver’s side window thinking I was about to witness a huge explosion. I was facing north and the thing(s) I witnessed were moving toward me and to the left, so southwest. It was already dark and all I could really see at first were lights. As I watched I realized there were two things happening: one looked to be a single engine plane turning down and left (so, eastward) and crashing in slow motion toward the intersection; the other thing looked to be the lights of a helicopter staying the original SW trajectory. The first object, as it was facing me during its turn, was visible only as (what looked like) the two FAA wingtip lights, except both were red. I could just barely make out a structure between the lights. It completed its turn and slowed in the air to almost a stop, pointing down at an angle toward the intersection. At this point I could make out a third red light behind the two, which showed me the angle. It wasn’t a completely side-on view, maybe ten degrees toward me. Suddenly the area between the two front lights looked like a bank of ten large flat screens, side by side, and they were alternating the purplish glow similar to a blacklight from the center out to the red lights at the tip, then back to center. I could count five pulses from center to tips, so I assume ten “screens”. It did this four or five times that I could count as it floated. The craft was barely moving forward at this point. It was pointing straight at the westbound traffic parked at the intersection and flashing this pattern in that type of blacklight that isn’t really visible straight on. I feel like I could only see the purplish glow because of the angle I was looking at it from. The second set of lights that looked like helicopter lights kept on coasting, and after that brief few seconds of purplish pulsing the first set of lights began to turn back toward me and rise. Then a car pulled into the drive behind me, almost hitting me, so I had to pull forward into the complex and park. I did this quickly and grabbed my binoculars (I use a crappy old tracfone, so I didn’t bother trying to get a picture with it). I stepped back toward Hayden Rd. and I could see the lights were already flying together again and had resumed the SW trajectory. I looked through my binoculars and I could see that the one set of lights was indeed a helicopter because there is so much ambient light from the ground below. The red lights that floated over the intersection were on what honestly looked like a huge flat triangular box, one on each corner. And it was moving flat side forward, counterintuitively for a flying triangular shape. After a few more seconds they were lost to the distance behind a big stand of palms. I got the impression that all three sides of this craft were the same kind of screens. And as it was floating over the intersection I was reminded of how a cuttlefish hunts, using pulsing color patterns to hypnotize prey. I asked the local community in many forums and face to face if anyone saw this and found nothing. I searched numerous times over the following months for some kind of advertisement craft that matched this and found nothing. It’s unidentified, but whatever it was it’s official SOMEWHERE because of that helicopter escort.

South Kingstown, RI
While driving home from the beach area on the south coast of RI, clear, sunny, blue skies, I saw what at first looked like a C130, which is often seen flying the area days and evenings from the Air National Guard Base at Quonset Pt., North Kingstown, RI. I noticed something very different about this one. It appeared that a tube or cylinder was just underneath the fuselage. Both were grey in color. 'Plane' was about 5k feet in the air, flying due north from the ocean in the south and was about 2 miles from me. I took off my sunglasses to take another look and it looked the same. Some kind of cylinder was either attached or flying just under the plane. The plane flew somewhat faster than the C130s usually do at low altitude. I watched it closely until it was out of sight . No noise was heard, no lights seen. It was cold out and my windows were up. I've seen the C130s many times but this looked different...almost like a double image. This area is the same place I witnessed two huge UFOs low in the sky one night last July.

Salem, NH
On February 15, 2020, shortly after noon, I was driving West along Rte 111 in the Salem N.H. area just before Rte 93 when I noticed to my left that there were several large airplanes, presumably passenger planes, one following another at what appeared to be the usual traveling altitude (? 30K ft) I thought it odd that there were so many airplanes traveling in the same direction, same altitude, all somewhat equally distanced from each other. I took a couple of pretty bad pictures with my cell phone which mostly just showed the contrails of each. I then continued on my way to take Rte 93 south. After I got on Rte 93 I saw that there were many more aircraft, as I described previously. I stopped counting at 32. These planes were travelling from Northeast NH to Southwest Massachusetts, as far as I could tell. Nothing unusual about appearance except for the sheer number of them. Not knowing how to research a happening like this, I asked family and friends on FB if anyone had witnessed this. No one claimed to see what I had seen. (I am a retired healthcare worker and USAF Veteran)

Spring Hill, FL
I was having my usual morning coffee in my front window looking off to the east waiting for sunrise. The stars were bright and beautiful the sky crystal clear. I noticed an object that looked like a closer brighter star moving across the east sky, Then another in the same flight path moving to the east. My first thought was high flying jets but after seeing the same thing over and over again to the count of 10 I decided to go out and see where they were coming from. Not out of the west but seemed to be coming straight in from the darkness of space looking like a faint star and the with warp speed coming into vision to the size of a larger star, slowing down and traveling to the east at slower warp speed. This continued for 2-3 min. I ran in woke my spouse up to witness. We stood the for another 5 - 8 min watching one after the other coming in and disappearing to the horizon in the east. So glad I had a witness. Never have seen anything like it.

Mullica Hill, NJ
Bright light while driving home seemed to be just staying in the same spot. As we approached our road to turn it was above the trees and next to us! It wasn't very high and wasn't moving! The round light was the brightest. brighter than a spotlight. We stopped the car and just watched it for a few minutes surprised that it didn't fly away right away. I was amazed and didn't think to take pictures but my son did just as it went to move above us and took off. When it went to move it had a bluish light and a reddish light on the sides of the bright light.

Forest, MS
Today by 1:16 pm I was driving to my job and I was talking to my dad and the conversation was going on like how are you? Good he response and we keep been talking, the phone is in my inside my pocket he is on speaker 🔈, my two hands are holding the steering wheel my eyes are looking the road. I use glasses to see far away, and with them I can see miles and miles very good. While I am keep talking to my dad, my eyes notice on the sky 🌌 like 50 to 80 gray points like a shape of small balls ⚽️ like a tree branches in the sky, at the moment I stop the conversation with my dad and I started telling him what 😮 I am seeing, when I decide to look more, all of them disappear in less of two seconds. The sky was blue easy to see it.

Telford (UK/England), WA · United Kingdom
Not sure if it’s you who I can report this to. I was sat outside at 06:03 in Telford, England. When I was looking at the stars and seen a star like light moving slowly across the sky at first I thought it was the space station then realised it wasn’t because there was another one behind it. In total in one straight line with the same distance between them all there was about 10 of these then the last one there was two next to each other. One of the two was not in the formation but then sped up faster than the rest I watched this fly over I thought it could be planes but as the sky was clear you normally see the flashing. It was strange and want to know what it could be. I don’t know where to look for anything that is in the sky The formation was perfect spacing to be meteors and the one at the back was going the same speed then just sped up. I tried to get this on my phone camera but would not pick it up. It was really strange. I thought it could be planes but I often sit outside have a cigarette and watch the stars and I’ve never seen planes pass this route only fly another direction. The star like lights flew over in formation. Like I’ve said previous when I first seen the first one I thought it was the space station, but had to look twice as I thought another star was moving when I focused I realised there was a straight row of the star lights in formation flying over. If you have a way of checking flight plans in the area or other reports if the same then I would like to know it could of been planes unless it was military but I would of seen the flashing beacons also seemed to high up for planes. I would like to know what they were. If this is the right person to report this to then any info would be good

An orange glowing orb falling from the sky, gave off an uneasy feeling of being watched. My one cat ran out of the room as soon as she saw the orb

Phoenix, AZ
Yesterday evening, February 9, 2020, around 7:45 pm, a bright orange light caught my peripheral vision, out of the window. I was watching tv, sitting on my bed facing roughly west and window is roughly south to my left. The room I am in is a little uniques in that it’s built on top of my patio, has an exterior only entry and has “no house around it”, ie; I am surrounded by windows. When I first saw this orange glow, that it looked so much like the orange and light of fire, I thought I might be looking at a paper lantern. I followed it as it went in a generally northwest direction. I saw it through a small window on the east side of this room. I took a picture of it through my window and screen and the orange is visible in this photo. Less so in the others and 3 second video. I raced outside, naked mind you and with my phone and it’s still proceeding in same nw direction and then I see another coming along after. This continued for a total of 5 maybe more. Each one a very vivid orange, no visible fuselage, wings, red, green, white or strobing lights, and as bright as fire. But no flames. Also no engine noise. I took 2 other photos, one of which the shape of one is like a perfect capsule, but in the vertical. It is my intention to get the Center the 3 photos and 3 second video (!) but I lack technical expertise and it may take a bit! I thank you for speaking with me and for accepting this report. I sure would love to learn what it was I saw.

Lakewood, CO
I was standing outside of my 2nd floor apartment, in north Lakewood close to wheatridge, staring at the sky when I saw a small light dart downwards across the sky as I was looking straight out. About 5 minutes later about 45 degrees to the left which would be going from southeast to south I saw far away in the sky what must have been a moving object not sure if it was cylinder or rectangular huge like a mile wide moving about at 20 miles per hour with many little lights like windows on the object. At first I thought it was a banner someone was flying and then I thought why so many lights. I tried to follow it and then I could not see it. It lasted about 10 seconds and then it either disappeared or was beyond the houses or trees.

Myrtle Beach, SC
I saw a very large military cargo jet over Oak Street not far from the old Pavilion site. It was extraordinarily low. But that was not the strange thing. It appeared not to be moving... at all! At first, I though this was just an optical illusion since it was likely just flight very slowly and I was in a moving car going in the opposite direction. However, when I stopped at a traffic light, I could clearly see the jet was actually motionless in the sky! I looked at it for at least 20 seconds while sitting still and it did not move at all in relation to the ground or my stationary car. My thought was, "I can't believe this. It's like time has stopped!" The people behind me at the light obviously also saw this as they were looking and pointing excitedly in that direction and talking to one another. When the light changed, I drove to Oak Street (via 9th) to get closer to where the jet was hovering. As I turned the corner onto Oak, I saw black smoke start to pour from the jet's engines (which had not been there before) as if it was throttling up and it started to accelerate and move like a normal jet. In fact, it began to move very fast and made a rather sharp right turn and disappeared over the treetops.

Chandler, AZ
Saw a small light in the sky similar to an airplane light but it did not seem move at all. Used binoculars (20 x 56) to see and it was a yellow parachute with a smaller chute off the back. Then a few very small specs not really visible with the naked eye (smaller yellow chutes) came into view. After some time more and more until there were maybe 150 to 200 or more with about 5 or 6 of the larger yellow chutes scattered about. The scattered pattern didn't change but all very slowly moved southward and not downward. It wasn't in a straight line either. Could not see what was at the bottom of the chutes.

Hueytown, AL
Very seriously concerning what I'm seeing right now since February 2nd 2020 yesterday 7:30 p.m. I noticed something that didn't look right and it was not a star The Whole Town's pretty small and quiet and it up here to the maybe 350 200t and they are investigating something and my neighbors are actually my friend that lives four houses down and I called him on Facebook and ask him did he say it to he didn't see it but I could so I went to his house and pointed it out and he got his dad his sister and his sister's boyfriend to come outside and look and they all thought it was a satellite with you is it because I don't hover around and slowly move around like lights on them I think this unheard-of but I investigated myself for a little closer to where I could try to see if I could hear it I thought it could have been a drone but I do know that my cousin is into computers and drones and he has very expensive equipment and then he has mentioned before that I heard in the backgro! und him saying it will only fly for 1 hour and it would have to come back down and charge and when I was at my neighbor's we all was looking at it in my mind I was thinking find a telescope oh, so I went back to my house and got my rifles Zoom to my scope on there and I definitely got a closer look it's definitely not normal I don't know what it is and I went back to my neighbors with my rifle and got them to look through my scope attitude and they definitely thought that it wasn't a star and saying satellite and then I went back home because I wasn't going to stand outside all night and friend was getting cold and wanted to go back back inside the house so I went back home and forgot about it myself but I can't sleep that great and I went back outside cuz I was thinking about it and I seen it again but it's not in the same area but in the general area but I watched it slowly creep and stop and back up and repeated that until and eventually was out of my eyesight because it! was moving and the house across the street was now blocking m! y vision that is not a drone that's been up for maybe eight hours now and I'm about to getting my car and investigated it again maybe but what I'm saying is I'm saying something in the sky and it's not normal it don't feel bad at all

Santa Paula, CA
I was driving on Telegraph Rd. in the city of Santa Paula, heading in a northeastern direction. I was speaking on the phone with my boyfriend when I looked up at the clear blue sky and saw a silver bullet shaped object with no wings or any other identifiable features. I then noticed a slightly smaller silver bullet that appeared to be “towed" by the first object. I commented to my boyfriend that it looked strange and I could not identify what I saw. I then saw a third silver bullet-looking object that was slightly smaller in size flying in perfect formation with the first two silver bullets. It eventually became apparent that I was looking at 3 silver bullet shaped objects, one smaller than the other in consecutive order, flying in perfect formation. I wanted badly to photograph the objects but I was driving at the time and had my eyes peeled on both the road and the sky. When I told my boyfriend everything I saw, I looked back up again from the road an! d the three objects had vanished in the sky. There was absolutely no clouds in the sky that day and the sky was crystal blue and clear. The objects seemed like they were flying a few thousand feet in the air and they were not flying fast at all. As soon as the objects vanished, I was undeniably dumbfounded and commented to my boyfriend how I could not believe what I just saw because one minute they were there flying at a moderate rate and the next they had completely vanished as though they had not even existed. There were other aircraft in the sky but not close enough to the vicinity of the objects I saw. There were 2 other aircraft I remember seeing flying in the sky. The neighborhood consists of crops and fields with a slither of the Santa Paula mountains and Santa Clara river nearby.

As I was walking home from work i look up in the sky and see what looks like an object of some sort resembling a helicopter, with no wind blades. It had 3 red lights, and made a humming noise. It also looked as if it was traveling the opposite way a helicopter would. Startled I proceeded to go home and people in nearby cars seen it as well

Four lights in a single line in the eastern sky. Lights were Low on the horizon. Lights were traviling slowly to the north. Then disappears.
