Gibbon, NE
Was lying in my hammock on the deck behind my house facing north. A silver-white object traveled SE to SW. It soon returned and went SW to SE. There were no wings, it was silent and traveled at a consistent rate of speed. My son looked at it through cheap binoculars and couldn’t tell what it was.

Annandale, MN
Three of us were outside visiting at the cabin, Annandale, MN, my husband (financial advisor), sister in law (product marketing) myself (insurance broker). It looked like a spaceship launch at first just over the house looking out towards Clearwater lake from cedar lake. I pointed it out thinking it might be a shooting star. It went straight up and then began moving toward us. It was strange how it moved toward us but at the same time we couldn’t tell exactly how close it was? It was much lager than a plane maybe half the length of a football field? The lights seemed to strobe in a pattern like glitter. It seemed to be just over the neighbors house and then it went up just above the Big Dipper slowly. The lights fizzled out after about two minutes of us watching it. As it it slowly disappeared. So we all thought it was gone but as I looked at the spot that we “watched it disappear” we realized it was indeed stil there. Faint, but still there. It looked like a faint star but then would pulsate light faintly in the same pattern and approximately the same size as what we saw. Just above the Big Dipper, it did eventually move slowly away from the Big Dipper at about 11:45 and then I went to bed at midnight.

My cousin was in Vermont on August 19th around 10 o’clock at night with her boyfriend and my grandparents. They were sitting in front of our lakefront cabin on Lake Champlain and they saw a bright cigar/disc shaped object hovering in the sky. My cousin recalls the back of the object having almost like a separate motor that ended up fusing with the main body of the object. The object emitted a bright white light the whole time and made zero noise. It slowly hovered towards our cabin then faded into the night sky.

Charlotte, VT
I was out taking my dog out for his evening walk and looking up at the clear night sky on this cloudless, moonless night well after the sun had gone down. I noticed a double row of lights moving slowly from west to east. I pulled out my phone to record it on video but my flash light was on so that wasn't possible. So I just kept watching and within 5 or 10 seconds it just disappeared. If I held my hand out at arms length, the lights were about 6 inches long and about 1/2 in apart. However, since I have no idea how far away it was, I can't have any sense of its actual size. I'm 66 years old and have my full cognitive abilities. I enjoy looking at the night sky and live in a place with minimal light pollution. And for that reason, when I walk I tend to keep my headlamp off so I can see the stars clearly. At the time I thought it was odd that my flash was on because I'm embarrassed to admit that I don't know how to turn it on, and I just assumed I accidentally turned it on either before or as I tried to do a video recording. But after seeing the question below about electrical effects, I just checked and now the flash is off, which definitely adds to the mystery...

Barre, VT
I was shooting long exposures hoping to capture the northern lights. I saw, to my left (north west) what appears to be a small very bright line with round lights along the length moving from left to right (West/north west to the east/southeast it seemed like it was pretty high up, definitely not a meteor or aircraft. In the video, which is not great, you will see what looks like a “line” moving across the sky. The two still photos are long exposures, so the detail gets lost a bit. The size stayed pretty consistent although it did get noticeably bigger as it moved over my location and appeared to just fade out. I do a lot of night photography and have never seen anything like this. It was way too slow to be a meteor, or even an aircraft. NUFORC: Starlink

Sitting on the beach late at night having a fire when my dad points out a long cigar/blimp like thing in the sky with what looked like 10 white lights in a row but way more compact than the star link image. It was in the sky for roughly 30-40 seconds then slanted slightly and disappeared into the darkness.

I suddenly saw a train looking object with two rows of light in sky for 3 seconds in sky. I took a video and my brother in law tool a photo but 6 other people saw it too. I did see the pictures for starlink satellite and was nowhere close to that. NUFORC: Starlink

Davison, MI
Sitting by the fire when we looked up into the sky and saw this long worm shaped looking object in the sky. It appeared to be moving slowly from west to east. It had a very feint glow to it, pretty well hidden and not obviously seen unless you were already looking into the sky like we were. Someone a couple campsites down from us appeared to notice as well and shined they’re flashlight in its direction, it then vanished into thin air. We tried to make sense of it but it was not shaped anything like an airplane, no blinking lights off it, was moving way to slow to be an airplane, it couldn’t have been a kite because we would’ve seen it come down. I would almost describe it like a very slow moving, dim, fluorescent light. NUFORC: Starlink

Indian Lake, NY
Sitting out in front of the camp fire on Lake Abanakee in Indian Lake NY on 8/19/2022. The sky was clear and all stars were visible . At 9:45 pm my wife noticed a white line that was very bright moving slowly across the sky over the lake towards the north west. It did not leave a tail nor did it have a bright head on it.. it was uniform in color . This line was moving across the lake slowly at a uniform pace for appx 15 seconds then disappeared . I have seen all sorts of shooting stars and comets throughout my life but never have seen anything like this Which is why I’m reaching out . The pics attached were what we were able to take of it. It doesn’t look like much but it was much brighter in person NUFORC: Starlink

The cigar shape was on an angle traveling slowly towards us and at the end it just disappeared when I first saw it it had a flash of light.

Dexter, ME
I was on my way home from seeing family, and it was around 9:38 PM. As I was driving, I noticed what looked like the Pleiades star cluster to the North of me. However I thought it was odd, because they were unusually bright white and weren't in quite the right shape. As I continued driving, I noticed that the lights were separating from each other (from my estimate there were roughly ten lights) and they slowly formed a cigar shape. I continued to stare, and started to worry about going off the road, and as I was considering pulling over, I noticed that it seemed to be a single object, and was much closer than I thought it was. It was no more than a few hundred feet off the ground, and by that point it seemed to be about the size of a jetliner, but there were no lights to signify wings, nor any rumbling from a plane that size being so close to the ground. From what I could see, it looked quite angular, and there was a haze cast by the lights. I took my eyes off it for only a moment to pull over, and it was gone. I looked all around to see if maybe there was a light from a nearby residence that perhaps could have reflected off of my windshield, but I couldn't see any. After about 8 minutes of looking, I decided to continue on my way home.

Jeffrey City, WY
While camping, at about 9:15 pm, I was stargazing and saw a glowing cigar-shaped object in the north, about 10⁰ above the horizon. It took me a moment to realize what I was looking at. Then noticed it was steadily moving from the west to east and was completely silent. The object was horizontal to land and moved in a horizontal direction.

We saw a long staight series of lights that appeared to be part of a single object moving across the sky. It could have been a very long blimp moving swiftly but the straight series of lights were unlike any of us had ever seen. It appeared to be floating, but was moving quickly. It then abruptly disappear, either turning or… NUFORC: Starlink

Saw the long ship - it was NE of us and probably 2-5 miles away. The ship is atleast 500’ long. Looks like a slim submarine with portholes down its length. The portholes are lit up. This is the second sighting that my wife and I had - same exact ship. I’m December, the ship silently went right over the top of our house (only 500’ in the air). Did not get pictures in December but was able to get a few pictures last night. Like in December, this ship literally disappeared in front of us after viewing it for 20-30 secs. I’m guessing but the ufo from last night night seemed like it was very close to the Syracuse airport - I’d like to know if there were any other sightings reported in our area Starlink

We were in the tent and our dad was outside we did not have a fire that night, he suddenly yelled for us to get out of the tent and look at something when we finally got out with the dog there was a low flying craft just above the tree line on the other side of the lake, very large craft we thought it was a comet until it kept going. We took out our phones and tried to get a picture and it vanished infront of our eyes. The object was very large it was emitting green and red lights leaving a faint trail. SIDE NOTES: our dad stayed up longer and saw more things.

It was around 10pm me and my partner let the dog out that night we was talking when out of nowhere. Big white ship like craft just came across above our home! It was huge! And so close! Or so if seemed It came across slowly and silent with a slight glow to if, but not reflective it was memorising to say the least. Then in the blink of an eye shot off and disappears into the sky marking zero noise. The next day I find a post on Facebook of a crop circle in the farmers field about 5 mins away from my home which I have proof of! It’s taken me some time to find whom to message so I do apologise for the late report !

I wouldn't have thought much about it but it was right about two antennas. That's how I knew it wasn't moving , because the distance to the antenna did not change . It had no wings and some kind of orange fins coming off it, by the time I went to park and go take a picture , it was gone . So it went from not moving for almost a min to disappearing with no trace of being there. The car next to me had seen it to and looked at me just as confused. Not saying it's alien but definitely was strange.

I go for a walk everyday around the same time at this park a few miles away from where I live. I left my house at 11:19 am and I was pulling up to the Carpenter and Dixson intersection stop sign, a car was coming from my left and so as I waited for it to pass so I could turn right on Carpenter, I looked up in the distance towards the skyline and I saw the cigar shaped object. It was moving left to right across my field of view. It straddled the bottom of the cloud line and it was covered in a haze. Looked grey and I had a strange feeling upon seeing it. I thought it must be a blimp but I thought to myself there’s no way that’s a blimp and attempted to pull out my phone and record it. However, it passed the tree line and out of my view. I thought, based on its direction and speed I’d get a better look as I made my way towards 17-92 and to the park so I proceeded to drive. Unfortunately, when I had a clear line of sight again (15-20 sec drive) the object was nowhere to be seen.
