Manhattan, NY
Saw a very small stationary light which flashed on and off slowly (almost looked like something was revolving and reflecting light which may have generated a “flash”). Appeared to be farther away than planes flying overhead but did not move for at least 5 minutes

I was smoking a cigarette out on my porch. I closed my eyes for a few minutes to adjust my eyes and see the stars better. After I did that I saw scorpio and the big dipper - looked for the north star snd found it - but to the right I saw somethings else, kind of zipping/swerving and moving. It was brighter than the other stars. I laid out on the grass for about an hour. In that time I was the stsr move unnaturally quickly against the others,, swerving back and forth. I found when I focused my vision on other peripheral stars the UFO would not move, but when I reverted my gaze it would swerve back and forth and end up in a completly different position against the other stars. This made me think it may be an optical illusuon abd that I was imagining it, but the way it moved seemed so extraordinary that I felt I had to report it. If it was in fact not a star or an optical illusion, I feel that it must have been aware when I was looking at it and when I was looking at other stars to map its movements - it only moved when I looked direclty at it. Another notable thing is that occasionally a light would flash beside the UFO to my left (approxumatlely northwest) - this happened about five times in the course of the hour. It looked like a slight dimmer star, would light up momentarily, and disappear. At first, to me, it looked like a battle (I was raised on star wars) but it later seemed to be a part of a propulsion system, as the UFO would accelerate after the lesser star c into being and dimmed into nothing.

I woke from a late afternoon nap and went outside to urinate, while I was I looked up at the sky and noticed a light similar to a dull star moving across the sky, I thought to myself wow that plane must have every light on and they must be bright for me to see them as they were far away. as I was watching it cross the sky it started to move up and down as to wiggle and then it stopped and started fast then slowed then disappeared across behind the tree line, I then went into the house looked at the time- my Keurig coffee machine said it was 10:07 I then grabbed my phone and immediately called my brother in Pa and while I was explaining to him I saw yet another light moving in the same area go across the sky it stopped and a another light appeared at 3 o'clock position in which the first light seem to be reacting to it as it then moved downward and the second light moved around to the 9 o'clock position counter clockwise. then the second light disappea! red and the first light started to move up and down moving slowly forward then fast then moved out of view. The travel pattern of both sightings was from north ward to southward direction. The position of where this was seen from my location : the moon was at my back and the big dipper was to the east (or one of the pots of the dippers) of the moon using the second star in the big dipper handle which was facing east and holding my arms in the air keeping them about 20inches apart and in line with the handle of the big dipper I was able to try to provide my brother with a general area to look. He did not see anything and stated his skies were hazy. I was definitely in shock to witness such an event, as it defies what is know about objects traveling in the air, things just don't stop and change directions and then sped up and slow down. I am unsure of what I may have witnessed but I witnessed something.

: : : : : : : : : They moved in unison from west to east slowly before scattering and vanishing. No sound. I then observed 3 star like lights. One moving from west to east stopping, for 5/10seconds before speeding off. One came in from north to south which gave off a light tail due to its high speed. The other from the north was travelling south slowly then turned heading east. Then disappeared in a flash. The location was above Spa, County Down, Northern Ireland.

May 17 2021 It was around 12:05AM when I saw a string of small,moving lights in the sky. It seemed as if they were following each other at a slow,steady speed,with no sound. They moved straight at first,and then began to rather act like a snake or centipede. The lights stayed together about 3 minutes and faded out of my view. We could not get a good photo of the object on the cell phone. This has happened once before around the same time of year. The last time I saw them was in July, there were around five bright lights, and more defined. I would like to know what these are, they seem strange to me.

I was looking at the night sky SW of my home. I noticed a pinprick of light moving through the sky. I have seen these before which I believe were jets flying 30,000 to 40,000 mi up and only one. The pinpricks of light I saw this time were followed by six others with the same distance apart. A moment of time past, and these six were than replaced by 40 pinpricks of light slightly further west and going east like the first six and evenly spaced like the first six. I saw a brighter light to my right coming closer to where I was. It was bright white with a yellow center. It went right over my house going east.

Grand Rapids, MI
Stepped outside shortly after sunset and noticed a bright white light in the southeast sky. Light was a little less than the apparent brightness of Venus, traveling at a high altitude about forty degrees above the horizon. The sky was still light enough that no stars were yet visible, though the crescent moon was clearly apparent in the southwest sky. Had time to grab my binoculars from my car. Through the binoculars, the light appeared to be a single steady point of light with no colored navigation lights or strobing. The light traveled in a straight line, moving at a steady speed from the southeast toward the northeast. It was visible for at least 90 seconds before fading in the distance. I thought it might have been the ISS, but checking with tracking apps showed the ISS wasn't due to be visible in my location in the NORTHWEST sky until several hours later.

Vincent, AL
Two objects were headed towards each other then they stopped abruptly. They headed east and 3 other objects came from the east and stopped and hovered. Another red object slowly came from the south hovering. The last two objects came from the South approximately 60 to 80k feet and crossed each other at a high speed and they took off towards the East. Meanwhile during the event it looked like a helicopter and a 3 planes came by. It looked like they were putting a on show.

Emigrant, MT
On May 15, 2021 at approximately 11:30 PM, my partner and I were sitting on a rooftop looking at the stars at a home outside Emigrant, Montana. There were no clouds and we could see the stars. At approximately 11:37 PM, we noticed an object coming across the sky from the southwestern sky (near Yellowstone National Park). The object was a straight line of attached lights and it was moving in our direction. The flying object looked to be made up of over 40 white lights and appeared to be about a mile long. As it came towards our direction, I took a photograph on my Iphone. The object appeared to stall as it moved closer and the lights could not be seen as well. It appeared to remain in this location, about 10-15 miles away from where we sat, for approximately 1-2 minutes. At this point, I called a family member because I was scared and then the object started to move again towards the northwestern portion of the sky. As the flying object started moving toward! s the northeastern sky, the lights were still visible at the bottom, but there also was a shadow that was not lit up that was visible. It appeared as if the object had multiple sides and not just the bottom lights. The object made no sound and there was no sound of nightlife at that moment. (There was an owl hooting before the object appeared and stopped during the event.) Prior to this event, my dog did not want to go outside to use the restroom and was anxious when we went out on the roof to look at the stars, which was not normal behavior for my dog.

Chautauqua Lake, NY
My friend and I were fishing heading South from Bemus Point toward Celeron to dock his pontoon boat. I looked up and directly above the boat was a bright white light heading west to east over the lake, about the speed of an airplane. The light looked like a star, but was much brighter and larger. It was traveling quickly, as fast as a plane would, but it was well below where planes and jets fly, maybe a few hundred feet above the boat. I pointed it out to my friend who confirmed he saw it too, which was a coincidence because we had discussed recent news reports of UFOs earlier in the evening. As we continued to watch it, the light suddenly faded away into clear sky A few minutes later I looked up and the same or similar light object was again above the boat as we traveled south. Again, it move eastward and vanished in approximately the same location as the first object, but instead of fading away, I would describe it as vanishing instantly. At that po! int, I sent another friend of mine a text message at 10:08pm that we just saw two UFOs in the sky above the lake. At 10:21 again, the same or similar light appeared above the boat (lat: 42.124, long -79.354). I was able to video record the object as it tracked above us, passing well beneath a passenger jet that was also in the sky, and over toward the eastern side of the lake. It went further than the other objects and didn’t vanish. It paused, turned south east and began tracking us down the lake until we lost sight of it. Given the darkness of the night and fact that I only had a cell phone, the video is poor quality but contains our description of the events. Several minutes later, we spotted another light above the boat moving west but vanishing before I could get it on video. Another few minutes later we spotted a sixth light, this time much higher in the sky, before it flashed a red light and appeared to split into two parts while vanishing.

Chesterton, IN
Two lights were circling in the shape of a figure 8. They would intersect at the top the 8, at the mid point of the 8, and at the bottom of the 8; in synchronization. This continued for 15-20 minutes and was witnessed and/or filmed by 5 family members. While we were going in and out of the house to get phones to take video or check social media for reports from others, the lights disappeared. We were also checking other websites to see what aircraft or military planes were overhead and found nothing. There was no sound, or wind during the sighting or other aircraft lights. The sky was overcast and the lights appeared to come from above the clouds as there were no beams of light shining up from the ground, and appeared over a wooded area right across from our home. There were no other neighbors out and no reports of anything on social media. We were going to call the non emergency number for the police but thought the lights would be gone by the time they got! here and they would think we were all crazy.

My daughter and I were sitting on our beach house back deck when we saw two yellow lights over the ocean in the southern sky. The lights disappeared after 5 seconds. Then there were at least 7-10 bright white quickly flashing lights in the eastern sky for about 10 seconds and they disappeared. They were not airplanes. The lights were too fast, only white and too close together. About 5 minutes later we saw one yellow light again and then it disappeared and the second yellow light appeared and disappeared. Again, we saw the white flashing lights again. This happened 4 more times with 5 minute breaks between each time. There was a light yellow haze around the yellow lights we saw. I tried to use my phone camera to capture what we saw but it wouldn’t pick up the lights.

a couple of meters in the park close to my house i witnessed a colourful object flying low over the park. It was large and made a loud humming noise. i ran to the park as i lost sight of it only to find it was nowhere to be seen. i looked up in the night sky and saw a fleeting ball of light. It moved very fast and became as small as a pinhead of light as it disappeared.

Santa Rosa, CA
My sister her husband and I were viewing the stars last night. At first we thought we were seeing the starlink satellites but they were very far up in the atmosphere. They were sometimes in parallel rows and not in a straight line. They would appear at a certain point and disappear around another point. This went on for over 15 minutes. The sky suddenly became hazy in their flight path. We stayed out quite late but the sky didnt clear back up. Its very concerning because there were so many of them for so long. Where were they going?

Mount Airy, NC
At 9:35 pm While setting outside I happen to look up in north west Direction and noticed a string of lights flying toward the south west in a perfect line and evenly spaced and flying quietly I was able to have my family come out and we all where able to watch the event unfold, We stood in our drive way for at least 5 mins and watch the event there had to be at least 100 of the lights flying in this line the last one disappeared from view at 9:41 exactly. I would have to belive other people had to see this! there where other aircraft in the sky at this time these things where not normal.

Santa Fe, NM
I was at frenchy's field park here in town. About 9 in the evening. I was hanging upside down from the pull up bar, doing my regular calisthenic exercises when I noticed the long single file caravan of non flashing white light spheres, traveling in a straight line heading North East. I lost count at about 30. There could have been a hundred in all. The line of these light spheres seemed to go from horizon to horizon almost. They were not low in the sky. Unknown distance but pretty high up. They were all single file, one in front of the other except for a single pair which were flying nearly side by side. Their speeds were not perfectly constant in relation to each other as they seemed to speed up/slow down. That's all i've got. I tried to film it but this video quality on my new phone is terrible and didn't pick any of it up. Surely there were other witnesses here in Santa Fe, I just hope they know to report it on this website.

Washington, PA
Last night 5/8/21, driving home around 9:00 PM, a couple of minutes from my house, I saw three red lights in the sky. They were a strange color of red, almost like a roadside flare color. I followed out on to a dark country road. Two of the lights disappeared. Then the last one disappeared. Then it reappeared, then another, then all three From my perspective, they were not in a line nor triangle and were at different altitudes. I estimate below 3 thousand feet, the height normally helicopters are seen at. The objects did not have any navigation lights and there was no sound. I tried to catch a movie. I thought I was taking a movie and even zoomed in enough to see a hexagonal structure in the center. It turns out I wasn’t recording. Too much inexperience and adrenaline. Anyway, I got home and sat in the driveway looking for them. While watching after about 3-4 minutes, I see the starlink line transiting, moving towards the east. I live just north! of Washington PA. What I saw was not Starlink, but that is an odd coincidence. Also, I worked for the USAF for 25 years and have seen many objects flying, but never one I couldn’t ID. This morning, searching around the internet, I found a picture that most closely resembled what I saw. I do so hope you have a report that discusses the same sighting.

Concho, AZ
At approx 20:05 on May 8 2021 in Concho, AZ, I was approaching my house after an evening walk, when I witnessed several white lights in the western sky moving northwardly. These lights appeared at a point or origin approximately 30 degrees above the horizon from my location. The lights made no sound, and moved at the same rate equidistant from each other. Approx 4 to five lights would appear, on after the other, all moving north in a straight line in succession before the first light or lead light would fade out abruptly, then another would appear at the point of origin. They appeared to move at an upward angle - not falling like a meteorite or aircraft flare. I witnessed no aircraft and the brightness was about equivalent to the evening stars in the sky. I went inside and grabbed my phone and told my wife to come outside. The lights were still appearing as we came outside the house and I pointed them out to my wife who confirmed what I saw. The lights conti! nued to appear for another 4 minutes before fading away altogether. During this sighting, the point of origin did not appear to move. I was able to capture about 2:55 min worth of video before the lights faded. I was a witness to the Phoenix Lights many years ago and I remember how they seemed to hover in the air. These lights moved rapidly.
