My rommate and I saw the obect from our patio move across the sky at a relatively slow rate. Slower than a small single engine plane would. The lights at the back of the object blinked in a strange fashion. About 5 lights would blink at different intervals and then they would all go black. They would turn off for about 2 seconds and then continue on in the same strange blinking pattern. The lights were rectangular and orientes vertically. It moved from the west towards the southeast in a straight line. No sound could be heard coming from it. It was difficult to make out the exact shape of it.

I was letting my dogs outside and glanced up, when I caught sight of a lightning bug flashing past. I live in the middle of town and was facing West, when I noticed a red-orange crescent shape just in line with some trees. At first I thought it was the moon, because tonight there is a waxing crescent, so I wasn't paying too much attention to it at first. I looked away and back a few times, noting what I thought was a dark, rounded glove or sphere shape with the light curved along one edge, which is why initially thought it was the moon. I glanced away to call my dogs back in, and when I looked back up, the crescent shaped light began to fade. After about 15 more seconds the light faded out completely.

Approximately 45 minutes later, the same event occurred traveling the opposite direction. I ran to the window immediately and saw nothing and the immensely loud sound was gone, as fast as it happened. Multiple jets were flying around the area in the hours that followed, but I cannot stress enough that this was unlike any jet or anything else that I've ever heard fly overhead. The speed at which it crossed the sky was unbelievable. I checked with a friend down the street and he verified that he heard this as well .

First spotted (through window) near Alcor-Mizar in Ursa major (very high in sky) as a single bright point flash of light significantly brighter than any nearby stars. Flashes continued at about 5-second intervals each with longer duration but diminished brightness until after 3 flashes duration was about 1 second and substantially dimmer than original flash. The flashes then increased in brightness and shortened in duration until approximately identical to first flash. Cycle was seen to repeat at least 4 times until too near zenith to keep in sight through window. Object appeared to move-drift almost due-eastward at approximately 10 degrees per minute - MUCH slower than ISS or Iridium satellites that I enjoyed observing until satellites were recently de-orbited. MUCH slower than any commercial high-altitude aircraft. No dimming or obscuration of neighboring stars observed. Sky-conditions unusually clear, dark and cloud free.

Irvine, KY
Around midnight the electric had went out. There had been storms the day earlier. The next night the electric went out around 12:00am. I think could have been off due to reparing electric poles ets. finishing up from the day earlier. Around 2:00am there were thousand or more firefly lights all over the sky. I looked out the window and a dim light was shining down on my home. We are in the mountains and rural not close to the city. The electric came back on around 7am in the morning. 7 hours and these lights were there till light 7:00am when electric came back on....

A bunch of lights collected together in unusual shape moving very quickly through the sky. Shaped sort of in a diamond and moving faster than any plane or helicopter. Was moving almost downwards in a place with no airports or landing areas. Space Link satellites. PD

At approximately 22:30 hrs. on May 26, 2019, I looked up and saw a string FIVE (5) evenly spaced bright white (medium star brilliance) objects travelling in linear formation in a SW to NE direction. This formation covered an arc of approximately 1/20th of the sky. From time to time a SIXTH (6) object would appear behind the others for a few seconds then fade. TWICE a SEVENTH (7) object appeared much farther behind and much brighter than the rest, as bright as almost any star. These objects took approximately 2 minutes to transit the sky. The trajectory was steady, and the spacing did not appear to change. SpaceLink satellites. PD

Close to 4 PM, we sat outside because we were done cutting the grass. Looked up at the sky and I asked my momma “do you remember the sky was the same, when we saw the red orbs” and Bam! I spot a UFO in the sky. This one was not an orb, I thought it was longer light. Vertically. As I zoomed closer it appeared different. I have been studying the images I took and zoomed in again, and am able to see a triangular shape. You can see very clearly the form. They were a few different things happening as we were looking at that direction. We could spot more than one object. I took a couple of videos hoping that at least one would capture the right image. In the video that I play repeatedly, you can also clearly see how something shoots out of the bigger object. The object appears and disappears. When they appear again it was slightly a different area. Not the same spot. At some point, it moved above us. Extremely high in the sky I would not even be able to calculate ! how far up it was. I do know it was above us because that’s where it stopped and then left. We were not able to see it after that. By left I mean disappeared.

Sinclair Island, WA
Four distant white dots (lights similar to Satelites) were observed moving across the Northern sky over San Juan Islands, WA. Objects were synchronized in an eastern pointing line traveling due east (traveled from center sky and out of sight to the east in ca.20”-40”. At first the four objects were evenly spaced, however throughout sighting individual objects slowed and accelerated independently within line. Objects appeared to be very high in atmosphere and to be traveling quickly - observably quicker than average satellite sighting (consensus of all present). No sound was heard. One observer (ex-military) hypothesized high flying military jets (interesting as it was Memorial Day weekend). Those who observed objects were not convinced as to this explanation. All agreed they had never seen anything similar before.

Straight long line of star-like lights, moving at a speed faster than an airplane much much smaller than a falling stars. (I think comparable to that of the ISS passing.) Looked like an ordered mass star migration. The first part of the line of star-like lights was very dense, with many lights following close to each other. Then the line got less and less dense, and some lights were following at distance much further (maybe at 3 times the length of the dense part). All in one very straight line. Space Link satellites.

Weld, ME
Friday night, May 24, at approximately 11:30pm to midnight, in Weld, Maine. Could not believe my eyes, saw a chain of white lights on perfectly clear night. At first glance though it was a shooting star, then a comet, then jet exhaust that realized none of those. I could not determine the height due to the unlit area matched the dark sky, it looked like it was in space. Looking at arm's length about three feet long (very large) and an inch wide. The object I saw was just dots of white lights like stars. More in the front area thinning to the middle, one light ¾ to the end and one light trailing at the end. All the lights where moving at the same speed heading west to east. The speed seemed to be about the same as a commercial jet at cruising altitude. None of these lights where blinking, they were all steady and there was no sound. Starlink satellites, launched by Space X on May 23rd. PD

I'm not sure what's going on here but I can tell you I was in a hotel on the 3rd floor, which is right by the river Looking out the window that morning I noticed the clouds were not moving but shaking so I started to record the clouds I then put a filter on my camera and that's when I black things floating around the clouds look like electric but only a few and then it seemed they were getting sucked into something I have no idea where to begin and then it all just stops and there was a flash that kept happening on my phone after coming home and looking over the footage there are all kinds of things going on there's something with 2 eyes transparent and a spine I think I'm sending you the video.

Stockton Springs, ME
I went out side last night around 10pm EST to have a small cigar. The area I live in is relatively rural, so on clear evenings like last night I usually stare at the stars while I smoke. If the direction I was facing is 12 o'clock, then to my 1 o'clock I thought I saw a light (the size and brightness of a star) move 'next' to a relatively bright star. I assumed it was my eyes playing tricks on me and adjusting to the dark. Scanning that general area a few minutes later, I saw a single dot of light moving from right to left. Roughly to my 12 o'clock. To clarify this was up in the sky, but 12 o'clock to where I was facing. The dot of light was the brightness of a medium brightness star. Definitely not twinkling, and I was watching it intently for flashing (indicating an aircraft) and there was none. There was also no noise whatsoever. I served two years in the USAF and can confirm that if you can see an aircraft, you'll be able to hear it. And I also know that if it were an aircraft that was far enough away that the running lights would appear that small, it would have been moving much much slower, to the eye of an observer on the ground, than this was. After maybe 15-20 seconds of watching this point move from right to left, it seemed to stop for half a breath, and started again just before disappearing completely. The way you might expect something to "zip" away. Needless to say my heart went into my throat and I could feel my eyes go wide. I stood there scanning the sky where the light had been when I first saw it moving, where it disappeared, and further to the left to see if it was still there, for several minutes. Trying to rationalize what I'd just seen. I probably could have shrugged it off as just being something weird, if it weren't for what followed . I can't say how long it was, definitely less than 10 minutes, that I heard air craft engines. Looking up I saw running lights (red, green) so this was definitely an aircraft. There were two of them, one coming from my six o'clock, and one my 12 o'clock. Both appeared to move fast enough that I knew they were essentially directly above me, and from the distance of the lights that they were high up. They passed each other in a 'two lanes of traffic' style. There was also a third aircraft off to my two o'clock, some distance off. The two aircraft that passed each other traversed the roughly exact area (meaning the one coming towards me was coming from it, and the one coming from behind me was heading towards it) where the spot of light had been. Given the proximity (chart-wise) of where I am to the airport in Bangor (Bangor International Airport, BIA), seeing aircraft especially at that time of night isn't an anomaly. But the flight paths are ALWAYS either to the left or 10 o'clock to where I was standing or to the right or 2 o'clockish to where I was standing. Depending on whether they're departures or arrivals respectively. To the best of my memory and knowledge, aircraft never fly in a path directly over the house, one way or the other. And especially not at the same time. I continued to scan the sky for another 10-15 minutes before I came back inside.

East Troy, WI
I was driving to work this morning, and keep in mind, I take this way to the freeway almost every morning at the same exact time, and I’ve never seen anything like this. Also, I live sort of in the country, there’s not a lot of activity around this time, and it remains relatively dark out. So, as I was passing this small intersection thing, I looked down at my phone, and about a second after I looked up, there was this green light that illuminated the entire sky in that direction. There was a lot of precipitation in the air, so it wasn’t as bright as it would have been without it. I thought I was imagining it for a second, it looked like it shot from the ground up and when I say the entire sky was a mellow shade of green, I mean THE ENTIRE SKY was green. And after about 3-4 seconds, maybe longer, the light shrank back down, and looking in my rear view, it didn’t happen again. Normally, I’d brush something like this off, but about two years prior, in the same general area that I was driving past, I had been out for a walk. I took a wrong turn down this trail (keep in mind, it was about 3 or 4 in the morning, I was walking thru the woods and I had my phone flashlight to help guide me a little bit), and about ten feet down this trail, I had woods on one side of me, and an open field on the other and in the field, I noticed (you know how when you shine a flashlight on an animals eyes they illuminate a shade of orange or red?) my flashlight illuminated two orangey eyeballs. I knew it wasn’t a normal animal because it was TALL and it sent chills up my entire body. And you know when you make accidental eye contact with someone or something, you feel it? I felt it alright. I backed away slowly until I got to the main trail and started sprinting home. The point of backing up rather than immediately running away was to ensure that I wasn’t being followed. Now, the thing that confirmed my eerie feelings, was once I hit the road, I looked up at the sky, saw a white flash of light slightly grow and then quickly shrink, disappearing completely. It felt like something out of a movie. Since then, I haven’t been on any more night walks. I wish I had pictures because I feel absolutely insane trying to explain this with no physical evidence. But as I experience things, my first thought is never to take a picture, it’s always either panic, or “WHAT IN GOD'S NAME WAS THAT THING?”

Ormond Beach, FL
My husband and i live right next to the Halifax River and approximately a mile from the Granada Bridge. There are several park benches along a pathway beside the river across from our house, and we walked over there this evening to have a break and to enjoy the evening in the night skies. And looking toward what would be the end of the Granada bridge going into A1A at the beach, we noticed three round lights they were spread pretty far apart from each other, and although all three lights are lit at one time, when one light would go off another one would come on, and then another one would go off and another one would come on. It was just real slow and silent. And it was in one position for a little while and then it went off completely, and then it was in a different position in another location just probably several feet from that one, and it was not running in a straight line. And then it turn completely off for a bit, and then it showed back up again completely in another location & the lights kept doing that same thing. And then they all went off again. And we didn't see it again after that. And we walked back over to the house. Not sure what we saw, but it was definitely not an airplane, because he was moving in an erratic pattern. And it made no noise as it hovered what seemed like just you know maybe a mile above the building line.

Pearsall, TX
Saw 2 unknown flying objects. Two sets of alternating blinking lights, far away and traveling at extremely high speeds. I was able to observe the light for a long period of time, even at extreme distances. No sound at all. The lights seemed very far apart, especially for objects moving so fast. Could have possibly been 4 separate objects. But they stayed at a consistent distance

Plano, TX
At approximately 9:40PM on 05/21/2019, I observed a very unusual light, while looking north from my Apartment Complex in East Plano, TX. To provide background, to the north of my apartment is a major thoroughfare of Aircraft flying West toward DFW Airport and Love Field in Dallas, TX. I often smoke outside in the evenings and have seen all types of crafts, usually easily determining that they are Commercial Aircraft. On THIS occasion, the light was different. First, the light was White and moved about half-way across the entire horizon from East to West. It moved at a MUCH higher rate of speed than any plane. There were planes in the distance to compare to. Suddenly, it Stopped. No slowing, as if a plane was turning… it just Stopped. It proceeded to move directly Upward at a high rate of speed, and then back Downward at a slower rate. This is definitely not any maneuver that can be performed by modern aircraft. It was also quite a distance away. My guess would be 10+ Miles North of me, possibly near McKinney, TX, but it is hard to determine . The light was Solid White to begin with, then began to flash, and then turned a solid Red. The flashing was Extremely Bright for something that far away. I ran inside to get my Cell Phone to record the light. When I came back out, the light was still there, and came above the horizon (so, it couldn’t be a drone… too far away.) It continued to flash and then moved directly Upward. It then moved to the East toward an Airplane that was flying East to West. It seemed to mirror the speed of the plane, but was lower on the horizon. Again it stopped. The color changed to a Red from White, and it dimmed by a large amount. The Light then became bright again and moved back to the West. I continued to watch the light until it went below the Horizon. I see planes flying in this sky on a DAILY basis… and always keep an eye out for anything weird… this is the FIRST TIME I have ever seen anything like this. I don’t know WHAT is was, but the movements were not something I had ever witnessed, nor do I believe that the maneuvers could have been completed by any craft with our technology. I DID video what I could, but my footage is grainy, and I’m not a good Camera-Man. I do narrate what I am seeing. In any case, here is a link to the Video: https://www.dropbox.com/s/huc2bl3elvlg3j5/0521192142.mp4?dl=0

I went to let the dogs outside before going to bed. The moon was full & bright in the eastern sky and when I turned and looked in the western sky, I thought I saw 2 planes coming, but realized they were not flashing lights like a plane does, and had a very pearlescent or yellowish glow that you don’t see on regular planes. They moved quickly through the sky but stayed in formation with each other and the thing that struck me most strange, was how quiet it was.
