I have seen the same flying UFO twice in two years each time in April and it was hovering above the same area last year it circled around the area 3 times around 22:00 PM and one year later was the second time it hovered 1 time at around 20:30 PM, it was southern east my location. The UFO was clear to the naked eye because it was large around 530 m - almost 700 m in size, and it was around 80 - 100 m up in the air. the craft was spinning in a circular motion, it had a metal body white dim lights on the side, it was silent and it was kinda like scanning the area like as if they are just monitoring or searching for something. What got my attention was the type of metal it had underneath, it was nothing that I have ever seen before cause it was very flexible as if it was made of Mercury and moving in a wave-like motion. The window lights were worm white (not bright), and the whole craft moved as if it was a frisbee but slower. it kept moving forward until it disappeared behind the houses line. both times it moved from east to south and then disappears behind the houses-line.

While outside tonight observed an object moving from South to north. Thought it was a satellite then realized another trailed behind it then 2 more appeared behind then at regular intervals more came from the south more or less in a line. Behind the 5th light there was a smaller light chasing it but at a different path more diagonal and dimmer than the one it trailed. Only 2 of the 11 observed got very bright then dimmed back to a modest bright light whereas the rest didn't seem to fluctuate in brightness. They moved quite fast and steady accross the clear sky til they disappeared one by one just like they appeared from the south.

Was driving west on burnside and eastman pkwy in my convertible. I looks up like i often do and saw two orbs next to each othee, no shape no sound going from south to north. The orbs would alternate brightness about a second apart. At first i thought drone but it was to high to bright and moved to far for any drone, not sure if it was higher or lower then an airplane going to land at pdx which i also saw at the same time. it flew several blocks before it disapered behind trees. The further it moved away the more it looked like it had two small lights in between the two larger lights now looking to flare up left to right. Have seen helicopters and jets at night both loud and obvious with distinct shapes. What i saw was just to orbs, a UfO. i have no idea what it was. Ican only speculate.

Cottonwood, AZ
Facing west towards Mingus mountain, located coming out of the Orion constellation heading approx north passing by Venus as it sets. Multiple orbs crossing sky at the same speed never passing one another scattered through a small angle of the sky passing horizontally into clouds to north. Not blinking, looking like satellite altitude. No sign of atmosphere entry, as if already in atmosphere. Quantity started very high with as many as 10 at once, has decreased now over 25min to one or two ever few minutes.

Saw 18 bright small lights gollowing each other in a line. Three larger bright lights in between them. All coming from a bigger light. One had three bright orbs around it. Then a huge flash. Then dimmed. Headed toward a military artillery field. Then seperated.

Standing on my balcony just before the sun fully set so the sky was still lit up a bit, I was on the phone with my father. I began looking around the sky and right above me was a cluster of glowing orange orbs and they had to be about 20,000 ft up, close to planes. The instant that one orb would phase out another would light up in another spot, but there was no craft present after each light phased out. This went on for a couple of minutes, one orb disappearing and another reappearing across from it. I was on the phone but was speechless and mesmerized watching this and did not even think to take a photo or video and in fact didn’t even tell my father on the phone what I was seeing and cannot explain why other than I was just entranced. Eventually the lights stopped and were gone altogether, again no physical craft seen. [NUFORC annotation: Starlink - Possible]

I observed the objects for about 2 minutes with 2 other witnesses and then the objects disappeared as quickly as they appeared in the afternoon sky. At the time of observation, the sky was clear blue with no clouds whatsoever.

I was star gazing . As I normally do every night. I was looking at the biggest brightest star in our sky . I looked up higher above and a white small circle orbi looking white light started going across the sky I never took my eyes off of it. It never disappeared just got to far away for me to see it .and it made no sound

Just watched this very large round object hover in the sky for roughly half an hour. I was watching at 1130 pm from my balcony (19th floor) in mid-Toronto facing north west. This object, was not moving at all (perfectly still) but was emitting a deep orange light. I’ve never seen anything like it. I went back around midnight and it appeared to move further north. I stayed and watched it hover in one spot for another 10 minutes (approximately). Same orange light. Went back around 12:30 and it’s gone. I have footage. I’m not one to jump to conclusions but am truly puzzled. I’ve seen aircraft, helicopters, and drones fly at night. I can say with a high degree of certainty it was none of the three. At first, I thought it may have been a planet, but it was too close and the light coming from it was too strong. I’ve never in my life seen a “ufo” - I’m not saying that’s what this is, but can’t figure it out...

Two small orange spheres moving really fast across the sky. They would change directions and weave while in flight. Traveled across the entire sky we could see.

I was home watching TV and I realized that I'd forgotten my reading glasses in my car; so around 8:30pm; I stepped out to the driveway to get them... I always lookup for Orion's belt and the Pleiades and this time was not the exception; it was when I noticed an object, high in the sky, like a star, moving Northeast... then I look further southwest and I saw that it was several of them travelling one after another at a steady speed; I have the impression of that the first 7 objects I saw were aligned in a straight line, but then I noticed that far behing there was other objects to the right and to the left of the original path; all of them going in the same direction, I don't know if prior me showing up outside other objects passed, but I counted at least 15 objects... I yelled to my son and my daughter to come out see them; eventually, they came out and were able to see several of them... the objects were not travelling very close to each other, they were sp! aced out, so it took like 2/3 minutes to see them all fade away in the dark sky.

I was on the phone, I went outside to smoke and this huge bright orange/red orb seemed to be hovering above my neighbors house. It seemed so low, but I thought this can't be, this huge orange blinking orb right here? I was telling my cousin on the phone what I was witnessing. It scared me, so I went back inside. I never even thought about taking a picture. Here's where it gets really weird. The following day I had zig zag scratches on my back and a mass near my spine. The scratches are gone, the mass is still there. I'm not sure if related, but they weren't there that night and were the next day. Scary.

I recently got a pretty bad sunburn at work and I have been a little bit stir crazy at night because my skin is peeling so it itches.I am a smoker so I went outside around 440 ish am, so I was admiring the moon when out of the corner of my eye I saw an orb that's what I'll call it so my first instinct was oh nice shooting star but it was moving too slow to be a falling star so I was still trying to figure out what it was then I noticed another one right behind it and another one right behind it they were evenly spaced traveling at the same speed in between each other they were all glowing at the same essence or Hugh whatever you wanna call it and this carried on for a while I counted 47 In total so when I got to about 12 I started knocking on the window telling my wife to wake up and come outside because she needed to see this it was quite amazing, she ended up catching the end of it We just stood there amazed. So I have been googling everything trying to see if anybody saw ! what we saw and I came across almost an exact replica of the same story on this website and he stated he saw 53 in the same exact formation a month ago Only 30 mins away from my location ,that just boggles my mind. So if anybody else saw what I saw please share 4/15/20 around 5 am Plano Tx

Long straight line single file of orbs perfectly spaced out of north west sky travelling south. One orb turned on a collision course with the one behind it and joined or combined with the other to become one orb and kept on going.

Very bright orb to the west over ocean. Was not the moon. Full moon on the 7th. Brighter than anything around. Below the white orb was a blue orb. Then moved behind trees.

Looking at planet line up. Gazed up at the stars and became aware of what appeared to be some stars moving across the morning sky three objects in triangular formation followed by three objects in single file over a short period all moving at a fast steady speed all objects disappeared into the distance near the planetary alignment.

Out walking dog in darkness, looked up to see what appeared to ba a satellite traveling west to east, but then noticed another following in it's same path about 5 arc seconds behind, then looked west to see another and another ( all coming out of a small cloud formation floating by. There were 2 that were "out of this singular formation" as if slowly passing the object in front of it. I ran into house to grab my Celestron Binocs to see if I could detect a shape - I could not as if they were too high up, too small, or in orbit... however they were all very bright, slightly less than Sirius. After what appeared to be the last one, I continued to watch the sky and about 1 minute later, another series of these objects started to come over, about the same distance in between, but slightly faster. The path of these new objects were also west to east but slightly farther south in the sky. There was about 8 to 10 in total, in this second grouping, then a g! ap of maybe 30 seconds and then a very bright object, traveling much faster seemed to be trying to catch up. All these objects were now fading into the gathering light of dawn in the eastern sky. I tried to photograph these objects with my cell phone but it was inadequate to catch more than just a few seconds of one object. The dark sky was very still with no other objects noticed while viewing the above mentioned ones.

(I live on an airport in the Central Valley. If I am facing north, to my left, about 7 miles away are the mountains containing Lake Berryessa. Because the ground is flat, to my right I can see all the way to Sacramento, thirty or so miles away. At night I can see sky scrapers. Where I am, in the sticks, is mostly void of city light. Also have you ever gone camping, away from the city, to where the sky is fuller of stars than you’ve ever seen? Have you ever spotted a satellite flying over you, on its singular strait pathed orbit? Or perhaps the international space station? It has a different path and is faster and brighter than satellites. The only reason you see the satellite, is because the sunlight is reflecting from the sun, off of them to you. And on its path, if it happens to duck behind the earth as you’re watching it. Shows the sunlight slowly start to fade as it does. Otherwise you can watch satellites travel their path for many many miles until they become dim from the curvature of the earth. They absolutely look like one solid point of light just like the surrounding stars. Get stars kind of have a slight red blue flicker to them if you really concentrate on them. I’ve also spotted what seems to be a high-altitude jet that must be secret, really high up in the stratosphere, yet leaving the usual ice trail that any regular jet would leave. I am a skydiver. I live on an airport. I grew up next to an airport. I was a ship look out in the Coast Guard. If I don’t know about anything else, I should at least be able to spot a craft in the air, on the land or sea. And be able to hypothesize as to what it is.) It was 4 am. I walked out my door facing east. Out of the corner of my left eye, my attention was brought to a satellite looking type of light. But if was almost at a fourth five degree angle from me. I turned to loo at it. It was not an aircraft. It was not blinking. It had no running lights. It was as if I was looking up in the sky and spotting a satellite way up above our atmosphere. Yet, this thing had to be about a mile away from me, at 20,000 to 30,000 ft. It was heading towards my right, with is a path towards Sacramento. (Interesting fact. At night, during normal not virus. You can watch the commercial jets flying in and out of the Sacramento airport in the way of my view of the city. All day, all night. Difference with this night. We are all coincidentally all stuck at home. No jets. No one getting up to go to work. No one to see what I was seeing.) As this thing passed me, I realize it’s being followed by another one, about a mile to three miles behind it. Same path. Same speed, which is under a hundred casual. As that one passed my position, another one behind that. Now I’m watching seven, eight, nine go passed. One of them was different. The only one out of the entire night. It was spinning in a different direction than the path it was on with its buddies. The side I was looking at, was just as bright as the rest. But once it spun its other side around. It was as bright as a strobe. Not strobing, solid light. Nothing about these things were blinking. Just a bright period floating by. At one point a second path was formed, to the side of the original path and light points. It was closer to me, and started a pattern of the same spaces light sources, but staggered from them. Now they were coming in bulk. Same configuration, but continuous. After about ten minutes, I counted fifty of these things before running back in for my iPhone. When I came back out, I had lost count. But they just kept coming. I’m in the parking lot trying to take pictures of them, but the light is too low for the phone. I start trying to call people in my area. No one picks up, other than the owner of the property I’m on. I tell him to go out and look at these things. I explain to him what to look for and he goes. These things were coming from what my perspective saw as the bottom half star of the Big Dipper. At four in the morning, if I’m looking north, the Big Dipper is to my north west. The handle is sticking strait up, ladles open in facing right to the north. The handle would be positioned over what I’d say is in the direction of Calistoga. If you follow that path, it probably brings you to the ocean after Jenner going north, and fort brag. All Mendocino county. Forrest and open land forever. No one but sleeping farmers to see. The path to my right takes them south past Lake Tahoe. If you follow that path. Well. Area 51. Over the the hour that I was out there watching. They must have realized the path they took was a bit close to sac, and too close to the ground. Because by the time the end was wrapping up, their path had gained altitude, and had corrected more south heading towards Lodi (south, the direction of the moon and Jupiter/mars). That was taking them right over my head! about a mile up. I took a picture of the last two that were together, but with an iPhone it’s garbage. I watched this go on for more than an hour, and had watched more than a hundred go past. When I was able to get my landlord up, he text me about ten minutes later and said he saw what I was seeing. By then, it died down to just about one a minute. They were still coming in when dawn broke and I could hardly see them anymore. So I went back to bed. The next morning I woke up at four, just to see if I could spot anything. I was out there for ten minutes. I spotted three. This morning I tried again. I stood out for about twenty minutes. And did spot two. But everything was so overcast. It could have been anything.

There were many light orbs I counted over 50 only in the time I noticed it. They were all going in the same direction south east . They were traveling very fast and they at times waited for each other . I searched for there origin and that's when I noticed a much larger orb about 3 of them that appeared to be shooting them out. Even saw a dual for ation right before sunrise.

I took several images from the international space station external HD camera ( EHDC ) of luminous sphere shaped objects. The ISS was located over the southern tip of South America so I believe that the UFOs are close to the Antartica Peninsula. I have these images posted at my web site mysteryportals.com It was past midnight in that region. One photo shows the objects in a spiraling formation which is fascinating.

Evenly spaced lights in a line across the sky. Checked for Starlink orbits but they were perpendicular to this line and not in the visible sky at the time.
