Jasper, GA
At least 50 to 75 lights in single file formation moving from northwest to southeast. No sound. One appeared to zig zag but for the most part they maintained even spacing in a single file line. There were 2 other strange anomalies - a bright pulse and another craft moving at an extraordinary speed.

We observed lights traveling in some formation following each other at a high rate of speed and possibly very high altitude from southwest to northeast and also one large orb type object moving to the south west. The altitude could not be predicted in the night sky but there were no normal aircraft lights. I also called a friend miles away that confirmed the sighting that my wife and I witnessed

A bright white light flying from east to west as the sun set around 7 pm. I thought initially it was a meteor due to the speed and the fact it was higher than the clouds. Traveled from above me to about 1/3 to the western horizon when it just faded out. I was disappointed that the meteor just fizzled out when all of a sudden, the object reappeared at a standstill and very bright with multiple colors flashing from it. It hovered for a few mins at the same high altitude then changed to a very bright red. Soon after it darted in an S-shaped fashion to the south and perhaps to a lower altitude, still very bright red when it stopped again. At this point, it split into 2 individual craft, both red in color. One flew east and lower, the other moved what seemed to be straight down where I lost sight of it behind a tree. Within in a few moments, the one light I could still see started to display multiple colors as it hovered, and then disappeared. At this point, I no longer saw either craft.

Elk River, MN
Was driving home towards Elk River from St. Paul area around a quarter to 11pm. We are currently under "Shelter in Place" order from gov due to pandemic. Weather conditions were cold 32 degrees, cloudy skies, with consistent winds from NW direction at 12mph with gusts higher. I decided to take a back route home that takes me off primary highway 10, most direct. My detour has me now heading due North through farm country. No traffic etc. As I come around a corner I see a very dull bluish white light high up in the sky, low enough in the clouds that whatever was illuminated was also lighting up the clouds around it. Was similar to clouds passing in front of the moon only much smaller and dimmer. I took note but really paid no attention until a few minutes later it was now below the clouds. It looked like a big bright whitish orange orb. Honestly if it wasn't cloudy out I wouldn't of thought it was anything other than a planet or bright star. Seeing this really got me curious. I drove a few miles to an area I could safely pull over at and turned off the car. I watched this thing for about 5 minutes and it didn't ever seem to move. Brightness would change slightly but if you weren't paying attention you'd miss it. It seemed so "normal" I had to try understanding what was looking at. Took out StarWalk 2 app on phone, nope no star or planet in that direction. Plus, there were no other stars visible as skies still cloudy. I checked a fight traffic map, no current flights anywhere close to my location. This pandemic has basically eliminated all air traffic in my area. There was no sound at all. It really didn't appear initially to be moving. I decided to drive towards it to get better visual evidence. That's when I really couldn't make sense of it. I took first left available that would bring me headed West, the general direction I initially saw it. Heading west I could still see the object clearly but it was starting to look like it was getting farther away from. I pulled over again, got back out, still no crazy movements. It looked still but I was now 10 miles farther west and still didn't seem any closer. Took first video there. I went full on Chase mode, just trying to figure out what this was. Drove another 5 miles NW to a gas station where in took second video trying to decide if this thing was slowly moving west or was I just in need of solid rest. It still looked like a bright star but was getting closer and closer to the horizon and tree line. I followed this object as far as I could west, out of the city lines and into an empty vastness of farm land between tree lined hills. I got about 25 miles and it just seemed to slowly get farther and farther away. Harder in tried "catching up" to it the more it seemed to elude me. When I pulled over to record and observe it would just sit there. I sat out of car for almost 10 minutes thinking it would fade off into distance but didnt. That kept making me feel like getting back in pursuit would bring me closer for better visual. It never did. After one hour and 20 minutes of following this light, it fell behind a distant tree line. Throughout entire experience the only observable changes I can describe would be that it started out bluish white, relatively dim, and scattered (meaning it appeared like ambient lighting in clouds). After that it was below cloud line and "solid" singular orb shape. Bright, still bluish/ white. From that it went to a whitish orange color that would dim at times. Last 20 minutes it was orange and would almost appear to "shimmer" like giant stars do in the sky.

From Osage Park/ GreenBrook Neighborhood on the trail in Danville. Looking at Triangle glowing within orange orb... Craft facing NW, it hovered over a house then turned its lights off. Then seen E from there, going E,it had giant flashing yellow orb style light in sky w a few dispersing lights from it. Lit up the sky around it a lot w every flash and went over the hill. Visible from Near Iron Horse Trail in Greenbrook Neighborhood.

Looking Westbound a blue light appeared in the center of the sky and faded in and traveled North East and faded out. While this object faded in and out the light emitted was as bright as the sun for a period of 2 seconds and faded back out and emitted a loud humming sound. The sky was clear and no clouds were in the sky.

We observed three separate glowing orbs just after sunset. The lights all appeared at different times but originated from slightly different places and headed different directions. They were all seemingly spherical, yellow to red colored lights hovering at low altitudes, and varying speeds. It was very difficult to assess the speed or distance of the lights since they were not sharply defined and were moving at different vectors, behind buildings, and trees, but they were within a mile or two of us. The lights were all completely silent. The first two lights moved from South-East to North-West, stopping to hover for a few seconds, and then smoothly disappearing into the distance. We saw one, and then the other almost immediately after. We were very surprised by the first two lights and didn’t know what to make of the way they were maneuvering and how close and silent they were. The third light however was different because it seemed to just appear, was much ! larger, and brighter than the first two. It also originated from the South-East and moved North-West before hovering and heading North-East and flying out of sight very quickly. We live near an Air Force base and are very familiar with all the various jets, training planes and helicopters that take-off, flyover and land. These were not any of those things, and we can’t be sure that it was anything more than a light since there was no defining shape, navigation lights, silhouette, or sounds other than the bright glowing lights themselves. We recorded a few moments of the last two lights on both of our phones and can clearly see them tracking smoothly across the sky, but it is difficult to focus on them or get any detail.

A small white spherical object moved across the sky from NW to SE in a straight trajectory from horizon to horizon with seconds and was quite visible in the clear daytime sky. A plane was flying far above in the sky at the time and appeared to be moving very slowly in comparison. In comparison the plane appeared larger. There was no sound and it left no trail. I've never seen anything like it before and wondered if satellites can be seen during the daytime like that and if they move across the sky that quickly? (Although it appeared to me to be closer to the Earth than the plane far above it, but maybe that was an illusion to my eye?)

Went outside to look at a plane flying over our area we had been tracking on a flight radar app, caught eye of 1st orb and considered the possibility of it being a simple satellite, then 16 more followed one after the other with about 3-5 seconds in between them coming into view. They did not appear on this radar app therefore it is not a typical flight. After flying through a small cloud they never re appeared again. No sound, no navigation lights.

My daughter and her friend, my granddaughter and I were on our porch this evening at 8:00 p.m. The weather was clear and warm. My daughter said to look at an object in the sky that seemed to be flashing colors of white, red and blue. It seemed to be about 20 percent larger and closer than stars or maybe even the moon. I went into the house and got my binoculars, and we each had a turn or three looking at this object. It looked to me like it was at least the size of two of the largest passenger planes wide, and was of circular shape. There was one large light in the center of the bottom that was brighter than the other lights that were surrounding that center light. All of the lights were white, but would change to either blue or red. The craft was quite clear in my binoculars. It seemed like it was in our atmosphere, and maybe lower to earth. We four discussed the possibility of a weather station or a large satellite. Just the history of reports of! UFO’s describing the disc like or saucer shape, prompted me to report this siting. I went back into the house about 8:30 p.m., after our social distance visit, and got my camera and tried to capture the image, but couldn’t find it again. I took pictures, anyway, thinking it might show up on digital, but it did not show.

This is the second time we have seen a light in the sky to the west of our house. Both times have been to the west but not in the same location. This orb was the brightest thing in the sky by far. I mean by a wide margin the brightest. At first you think it must be a helicopter with a search light (note. very small community with no police helicopters). Light is mostly stationary for the entire time (until you can't stand to look at it anymore) but it does seem to dance slightly. Object at times even seems to have a search light that moves around. Object is white light but seems to have a red and green corona at times. That's all I can say about it. In previous jobs I have worked dusk to dawn in remote locations where all there was to do was look at the stars and this object was nothing I've ever seen. No star has ever been that bright, no satellite or planet "twinkles" like that. I'm dumbfounded by it. (I have some cellphone video of object)

I continued to periodically check the sky and saw more of these objects (looking like satellites) appearing and fading into existence. one by the constellation Orion specifically. I’ve never seen a satellite curve.

On Friday 04/10/2020, my wife and I witnessed 3 glowing objects out over the Pacific Ocean. They seemed to be a mile or 2 from shore. At one moment one of the spheres started flashing in several colors. Through a telescope it looked like one beige round light directly above a dark blue round light, which both remained stationary, while a 3rd turquoise light quickly jumped from the right of the two and then directly between the two. This occurred for about 5-10 minutes before these lights dimmed but remained visible. At this time we noticed 2 other objects above the original. One a little above and to the right while a 3rd was very high to the left and became the brightest of the 3. All of these objects bounced around. We filmed for over an hour total. I’ve post 2 short videos of the sighting on You Tube. The incident lasted almost 3 hours.

I had stepped out on to my back deck at 0530 to smoke a cigarette, when I observed what at first I believed to be the ISS traveling from the NW to the SE in the pre-dawn sky. I then noticed another object of the same size and speed, in trail, of the first object and thought it must be a resupply module chasing the ISS in preparation for a rendezvous. I was somewhat startled to observe yet a third object trailing the first two, as I have never seen three satellite-like objects trail each other before. The roof of my house was obscuring the view to the NW, so I stepped farther out onto my deck and was shocked to see even more of these objects in trail of each other. Total of 14 objects, no sound, at satellite altitude, appeared to be satellites in trail. The first 6 or 7 seemed to be at an equal distance from each other, and the last 7 seemed to be somewhat staggered. These objects where just pinpoints of bright light, no navigation lighting observed, and moved across the sky at the constant speed of a satellite. I believe these objects were in orbit, and not high flying aircraft. I observed a total of 14 objects, but there may have been more before I went out on my deck.

About 9:15 pm got up to the bathroom . Look out window saw a bright light. It was to close to be a helicopter. I know what a life flight helicopter sounds like. No police Helicopter and no spot light. No sound and was stationary in sky . One was Northeast the other was southeast higher in the sky. Got my phone and recited it. The light was a very white bright. It would flash off and on. The two look identical in shape and size. With my i- phone it looked round orb. But with the naked eye it appeared start like. I could see other Star like Orion’s Belt. And Plants twinkling. But they were not as bright as these . I watch for awhile. Then went back again and they were still there. Got up again around 23:00 and they were gone.

It was very bright, like a UFO, and flashing, and definitely bigger than a star. We noticed some red flashes around the white glowing light from the object in the sky. Perhaps it was a star or planet, but we're not sure.

Two friends and I were out riding a few dirt roads near my house and looked up to see what appeared to be a partial rainbow in the sky, just west of the sun. Upon observing it, we noticed a small orange sphere to the left of the "partial rainbow", and just above the tree line. I assumed it was venus reflecting light of the sun. I took several photos of the unexplained objects, but it wasnt until I got home that I realized the orange sphere had darted upward about 200ft,and then shot left 1000 ft just below the partial rainbow! Once it was located below,the partial rainbow turned almost WHITE it became so bright, then the sphere was gone!

1 orb is seen moving left to right. my brother & i both experienced missing time on the same day which was on sunday 3 days before this encounter. my whole family has been having encounters with aliens the grays & 7 other different species for over 3 decades. no matter where we move the aliens always find us. We believe these craft are flown by aliens not of our world. there was no sound coming from these craft. Video Link https://ufostalker.com/sighting/107625

There's a pulsating sphere in the Westen sky. Appears to slowly move North. Got video on two camera pl hones. It pulses and gets larger or smaller. Does not appear to be an aircraft, meteor, or comet. It gets large and small again. Captured on video.
