The objects appeared to materialize out of nowhere, no vapor trails, no descent, they appeared to fade into view and later fade out again with little to no directional movement. Most appeared as small white circular or possibly squarish objects clearly visible in the clear sky. 10 of these were in an irregular line across the sky that looked like the Big Dipper, and 5 were off to the right in a group with one object in the middle surrounded by 4 others. They were at approximately at 2:00 in the eastern sky relative to our location. The one object in the center of the four appeared to have some red and silver colors. We grabbed binoculars and that object appeared to be oblong but oriented vertically. It appeared to have very short triangular shaped extensions on either side of the object, but did not look like wings, more like part of the overall shape of the object. They appeared for about 15 minutes and they just faded away, no obvious movement to either side or up/down.

At approximately 9:45 pm a red dot lit up the sky. It looked like a tip of a signal flare without the trail leading up. A few minutes later, there were two red lights blinking in sequence one after another, drawing out a triangle. This continued for a few minutes with the dots getting closer and further apart, drawing out a bigger triangle. In the final stages there was a total of 5 red lights arranged in an incomplete triangle burning brightly in the sky, remains still. After about 5-15 seconds, the lights disappeared completely.

Arcola, TX
I was driving west on Highway 6 towards Missouri City when I noticed a cluster of lights 15-20 degrees from the horizon. The lights were white and as bright as an incoming commercial aircraft, with individual lights varying somewhat in brightness, however they did not flicker. The lights appeared to be in a V or horse shoe formation, but almost parallel to the ground so some lights were behind and above the others making it hard to tell the number of lights or the distance between them. They were arranged in a way that reminded me watching a faraway flock of geese in formation. They did not appear to move. After 10-15 seconds of observation they began to dim in unison and faded away 1-2 seconds later. There was no way to tell how far away the objects were but if I were to guess I’d say they were over the town Richmond a bit over 10 miles from my point of observation. The formation was roughly in line with a busy airway that appeared to have typical traffic after the sighting. My family releases dozens of Chinese lanterns every 4th of July and that’s what I thought they were at first, but color and brightness were wrong. I did go through skylink pictures online and watched the video y’all posted. The individual skylink satellites are very similar in size and color however the lights I observed were grouped together in a way unlike anything I saw online.

I have a number of shots that will not all fit here. The incident happened Sep 17, 2022 over a 7 minute period. I was standing on my deck at 7:20 in the evening and first noticed the unusual strip of blue in the southwestern sky. Then a cloud like formation appeared in the strip of blue, small at first, then got a little bigger, split in two and then back into one, then just disappeared. I thought it was a very unusual sighting.

Owensboro, KY
It was quite small, so you had to be focused to see the cluster of black dots that looked like they were swarming together and erratically moving together in some unison but also not always together. After about 5 min they stopped moving and simply stood still and consolidated into a black sphere.

Tucson, AZ
This morning just before 5 am, I was riding my bike under the starry sky. I saw a perfectly straight line of maybe about 70-100 lights passing in the sky. (maybe more than 100) The size of the entire line was about as large as the Orion constellation. It moved at about the speed of a passenger plane (slower than a satellite) and like I say, a perfect line of starry lights that moved in complete silence. I stopped and watched as it moved South-East. When it disappeared behind a tree I pedaled a few yards and expected it to be on the other side of the tree (i intended to count/estimate the number of lights) but the thing had disappeared. Starlink satellites?

Phoenix, AZ
I am an nightshift worker that oversees the water for south mountain area of Phoenix and I happen to take an break in an dark area that is also elevated enough to oversee phoenix. I parked company vehicle facing north east and just happen to see an bunch of orange/yellow ball lights, kind of in an string but not that in line, more like an cluster, moving together quickly from what looks to be north to south at least. They look to be hovering low judging how far they’re from the ground, at least slightly above downtown Phoenix skyscraper elevation. I am unsure if it was moving above city or in the mountains and only lasted 2-3 seconds before disappearing quickly. Also the direction I looked at based on my location, I am also looking in path of airport and looks to be military base as well. Since then I haven’t seen an video or report about it.

At night as we were leaving our house my wife noticed an array of light almost hovering in the sky above the golf course. The lights which consisted of 4 bright lights were in a triangular formation. 3 almost in line with each other the fourth was offset. The lights were pretty high up and moving very slowly from east to west. We watched and recorded them for a bit before we drove off. We returned 10 minutes later and the lights were gone.

San Diego, CA
When I opened my back den window to let cooler air in, I saw a perfect horizontal row of 8 bright light/lime green lights to the NW. It was not moving across the sky but was stationary and blinking on/off over and over again in short, regular intervals, the entire row of lights at the exact same time. It definitely gave me the impression that it was one object as it would blink off and quickly return all together. There was no sound. I ran to get my binoculars, returning quickly, but could not see it any more. Minutes later I went to look again, and saw it heading slowly farther N and slightly NE. For more than an hour, every time I checked to see if it was still there, I could see it very slowly moving N, getting smaller as it moved away from where it was when I first saw it. It did not blink on/off as it began to travel N. The only other thing I noticed was that there were soon quite a number of helicopters in the area as though searching for something in a very wide circle. It is usual to spot one police helicopter at times, but never 6+. I had never seen anything like it before.

I have never seen anything like this in my 59 years, the formation of light were silent but moving quickly following each other the second to last was moving slightly of of formation now and then as the moved I did try to video it but in my panic did not get any footage, I know what I saw theses lights were not commercial aircraft.

Friend Park. West of Laramie Mountain, Wyoming, WY
Seemed to end in the same spot. Observed the same lights, night before at Guernsey State Park. The lights were fairly even, with some gaps in between. Reminded me of tracer shots, going in an arch across the sky but these we much further away and much higher altitude. Tried to film with cell phone to no avail. We observed multiple aircraft during the same time, but they were emitting bright red & green navigation lights. We also saw satellites but they were much further up. Likely Starlink Satellites

Oak Harbor, WA
While watching movie at drive in (sitting outdoors in truck bed) we thought we saw a comet in a north direction, but it was moving upwards. As it moved upwards 25-30 small, bright white lights spaced themselves out with an equal, short distance between them. We listened for sound but only heard a plane moving away from the lights. Lights glided low, directly overhead, slowly (about 5 mph) and silently. Leading craft (in front of the lights) was an indistinguishable shape, even at that close proximity. We watched the lights disappear 30mi to the south with no turning, no cloud cover, just gone. There was no drone hum sound or any sound of any kind. It may have been one object with several lights, which would’ve been a very long cigar shape if so; or several small ones in formation. We could see nothing around or between lights except for the head/lead craft that seemed to change shape. There were some dogs at the drive in which were all barking while the lights flew overhead. My phone camera/video wouldn’t show the lights even when directly overhead, but my sister in law got one blurry photo while they were directly behind her vehicle (attached). Starlink satellites

We were sitting at our tent sight at a music festival between acts. As we were waiting we saw this ship moving though the sky. It was completely silent and it was huge. My phone was already in my hand so I grabbed my camera and started recording. We all watched it move though the sky and fade into nothing. NUFORC: Starlink

Pittsboro, NC
Talking on phone to my father; sitting outside. Looking up at night sky. Stars. Airplane lights. Suddenly saw a light that looked like an airplane light, but moved in almost a "jump" to another nearby location. At first thought it was just change of flight direction of an airplane high-up, causing me to perceive it as a jump. But realized that I had not lost sight of the light for even a moment during this supposed "turn" and it did seem to jump. In other words, I didn't see an arc of movement as if the light had been an airplane executing a turn during which its headlights would be visible to me the entire time. The light seemed to jump just a few degrees in the sky. I thought perhaps my old eyes were playing tricks on me, so blinked and focused on the light again. Then noticed that there were several other similar lights around it---maybe a total of 5-7 lights. They were all moving erratically, not in the smooth lines that you associate with aircraft flight. And if they had been aircraft, they were flying dangerously close to each other...especially given the speed with which they were executing those jumpy, erratic movements. They were all moving as a mass of jumpy lights in the general direction of ENE. They soon flew into a part of the sky that I couldn't see because of the tree canopy.

East Lyme, CT
Captured Wednesday evening August 10 @ 22:27 on Samsung Galaxy SM-G991U with nightvision multiple shots within less than one minute. None of us saw image with naked eyes. EL Town Hall photographer viewed images and determined whatever anomaly was captured was traveling at supersonic speed as it was only captured in one capture with split second speed. Unknow whether it was leaving or coming in as its at an angle. I wouldn't have cared (nor do I believe in UFO), but it worried me as it was next to Millstone Nuclear plant in Waterford. I brought the picture to the attention of the East Lyme Town Hall (they directed me to you), Police Dept. and Stone Ranch National Guard Reserve Center on Friday (8/12) morning. I reported picture to Millstone (Eric M. Robbins, Security) this morning (8/15) so they may review their security cameras for said time stamp on night in question.

Saw another pair of unidentified crafts, this time dark, at night. No lights. Silent. Just quickly gliding by east to west around 11:45pm. Roughly shaped like bird or boomerang, black against sky, unmoving shapes-- no flapping, could not be owl or bat. Not crow or buzzard. Actual size unknown but I got the impression they were the size of really large birds. However did not fly at all like a bird, even in glide. They scared me. But not right away. They glided by 50 to 200 feet up impossible to know really, they took about 3 or 4, maybe 5 seconds to get out of my view. The sighting was so fast it was over before I could even really think. Instead of jumping up and trying to follow them visually I just sat there kind of confused. Like, what was that? When I finally did stand I realized I could have watched them for 2 or 3X longer. They were flying close formation and hugging the backyards, not going down the main drag nor my parallel street, but in-between. Medium high clouds, full moon but moon wasn't in my view yet. I cannot find an exact match for what I saw. I was out back watching for satellites. Saw spooky batarangs instead. Actually it was hard to make out any real distinct shape other than wide wings, short/no body. Creeped me out much worse than my daylight white orbs of mufon case 56662.

I saw two solid white space ships come together at a standstill and as I was watching it I literally saw them go from a solid white to a clear and they became invisible and disappeared it didn’t shoot up and above those two spaceships was another spaceship that was much darker but I did not notice it but saw it in the pictures that I took

Sunny skies perfect visibility. Airplane in mid air passed a white round object. The object became 2 than 3 than 4 objects, same shape and color. They formed a triangle and straight line and moved around each other for a while. The objects disappeared moving straight up very quickly.

Ocean Shores, WA
Looking in the direction of Cassiopeia at 10:12 PM with a completely clear sky I witnessed at least 5 lights arranged in a V almost half circle formation with an additional 2 lights; one taking a position in the front moving from left to right (north south) and back to the other end of the formation whilst the other light following in the rear copied this motion but in an opposing manner ( if the front light was at the north end the rear would be in the south) . The manner in which these 2 oscillating light flew was too perfect, they did not alter their path. Only a guard of the tomb of the unknown soldier can move like that. This formation flew very quickly from west to east rapidly reaching the horizon. Before the 1st formation disappeared from sight a second formation of at-least 5 lights in a more compact V formation entered the sky at the same location as the initial formation and followed the same path across the sky in-front of cassiopeia until reaching the horizon. The speed at which these lights flew across the sky exceeds any ISS transit and Satellite I have seen in the night sky. The best way to describe the individual lights is to compare them to the stars in the background night sky, if they suddenly stopped moving they would look like new stars in the sky. My thoughts, 1st wave aliens, second wave maybe fighter jets. This happened at a very popular beach and the movement was too quick and and lasted too long for me to be the only one to witness it, I can only hope. Thank you.

The objects closely resembled the swarm of objects depicted in the 2008 Mexico City video on YouTube. There were other unknown objects that flew through and or close to the 50 + sphere's that had red white and possibly blue running gear but no visible wings. I observed the objects from the 20th floor of the Oceans Casino and from the Oceans beech front area. The objects were observed directly overhead at times. Oceans Casino is 735 feet high and the objects appeared to be 3 to 4 times higher based on my 2 different view points The sighting was 4 hours long and ended when I we t to bed at 2:30 am.

Seattle, WA
My friend and I sat on his back porch in recliners chairs in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle at 2:30 am sun jul 31st 2022. While conversing I said something about not believing in god (coincidence) and just then, viewed 3 lights in a line and another single light all fly in formation over Puget sound from South to north. I heard one jet but my friend did not. We had seen multiple planes in the sky over Seattle around that time, however. It appeared like they were in the shape of a triangle pointed in the direction of their movement. The 3 lights on the west back corner of the triangle and the single light on the east back corner of the triangle. My friend asked me if I saw that and I confirmed I saw it as well. My hypothesis is that it is a Boeing test flight done at night to reduce observability of the experiment. The 3 lights could be the observer craft recording multiple angles of the single light experiment.

McAllen TX enroute Ohio, TX
First witnessed over Corpus Christi, TX as two intense white lights following one another, similar to Naval or Air Force aircraft in dogfight training. Captain and I shrugged it off at first until the craft began to move in ways unexplainable. I asked Houston Center if the Kingsville 4 MOA was hot, and if there were students conducting dog fight training, to which the controller replied that they were not and would be busy during the day. That’s when we both knew that what we were seeing was authentic and unavoidable. The craft appeared to be at our same altitude (around 20-25,000ft) and 20 to 50 miles ahead of us, moving northeast bound. As we were also on a northeast bound track. As time went on, the objects moved further and further away, as well as higher and higher. The craft were moving in such a way that it was obvious they were not effected by gravity or forces on the body that cause injury. Flying vertically to altitudes above 50,000 feet, then slowly descending in a zig-zag like path toward the horizon. Some of the craft would flash similar to the flash of a camera and then disappear, and some of the craft would stay lit and follow each other. Accompanying the lights at time were streaks in the sky, similar to that of a meteor entering the atmosphere. But at the front of the streak would glow a bright white ball that always seemed to stop and blend in with the stars. Shortly after stopping they would move in the same erratic motions that the others were moving in. Ascending and descending, moving laterally, in a zig-zag fashion, then stopping, appearing to blend in with the stars around it. From the moment we realized that what we were seeing was authentic, our eyes and faces were stuck on the dash and windscreen of the plane. Over south eastern Oklahoma is where we came the closest to one of the objects. As we were watching ahead and 12 o’clock high of our position, appeared to be a neon blue / vibrant white light coming closer and closer to our aircraft. The object which appeared to be spherical at first, became more of a rectangular neon blue / green object that descended directly above us towards our aircraft. The object appeared to glow but was similar in appearance to a mirror. We both had eyes on the object as it approached us, it got to within a mile of us then brightly flashed and moved off into the sky towards our south at a high rate of speed. Covering an immense distance in just seconds. The entire ordeal lasted some 2 hours. I made contact with multiple controllers during this sighting to which none had primary radar contact with anyone but us in the area. We finally came into a cloud layer over north east Arkansas / south east Missouri which was a relief to us, both extremely exhausted after the event and baffled as to what we just witnessed. As time goes on I may be able to recall minute details about the event, but for now this is what I remember and wanted to share. Please contact me and follow up.

Boise, ID
At sunset, I immediately noticed that a small glob of clouds had gathered. (Cirrus). Less than a minute later, they are cube shaped small craft loosely locking amid each other's gravitational field or training indicative of terrestrial military. Loosely resembling a 3 1 3 Tetris shape. Then every few seconds it stretched and the cubes multiplied until 43 total craft that made up the body of the larger craft. It began to accelerate, no com trail or visual exhaust plume. It had the movement of a train and was a wonderful blue hue. Hence the name polar express. After it's departure we had at least 100 separate smaller sightings, they were closer...some passed over head no more than 20 feet above us. Black glibe "searchers", wibbly wobbly drunk e.t craft. There were at least 25 of these, with 1 being more innovative and "serious" looking and acting in it's movement. Light shows, full horizon color change, spot lights and even collision. But no noise, or wing was ever attributed to these craft.
