At 0515 CST 10 Miles North of MCI (Kansas City INT'L Airport) I witnessed 5 to 6 objects flying from the NW to NE. All objects were North of MCI airport flying in a trail formation. The Objects were a solid white with NO strobes or any dimming. Upon seeing the first in the string of 5 It appeared to be a low orbiting satellite. Then I saw number 2, then 3, 4, 5 and possibly 6. They maintained a constant speed to stay the same distance between all of them. If I was guessing (from my POV) they were at 40-60,000 FT AGL and based on their size and speed, they were ALL maintaining approximately a 2 miles separation from each other. But again they looked like satellites and from everything I have seen and know with an 18 year career in Military Intelligence satellites do not fly in a trail formation with only minimal separation between them. They looked like satellites but were so much brighter and I have NEVER seen satellites traveling in a trail formation (especially) not traveling in a group or trail formation. Each object was maintaining the EXACT path as the previous as I was able to use a star behind them to verify the flight path . As they moved further East they dimmed until they were out of visual sight. I called the Tower at MCI and have been checking ALL flight record sites to see if anything was up at that time and have not found anything. I have NEVER seen anything that I could not explain. IF they were Military aircraft (as we have Whitman AFB East of us and Omaha North) they were NOT showing the common single red strobe or solid red light. Further more they had NO sound that one would hear upon observing a high altitude Aircraft and with the weather being cold there was NO contrail. If I had only seen one, I would have said it was a satellite. But 5-6 in a row all maintaining a perfect trailing formation with each other leads me to believe that they were not Satellites. I am continuing to call the MCI Airport tower and see if they picked anything up on radar as well as look at every flit tracker I can find for this time of morning as I have NEVER seen anything like it.

Bryan, OH
Around 8:30 on Thursday evening (3/5/20), I was outside on my patio looking at the western sky. There were a number of stars shining bright. Then I saw one of them moving in a northeasterly direction. I assumed it to be an orbiting satellite. No sound, just a small light like a star. No flashing lights or colors. Then a saw another one following right behind it. I thought it a bit odd that two satellites would be on the same path and following so closely together. After I saw 5 or 6 of these lights, I thought maybe the military was on some kind of maneuver, but if they were planes they would have had to have been way up there. I live between Indianapolis & Detroit. And that was the direction of their movement, heading towards Detroit. Then I saw another one & another one & another one. I watched this line of lights for about 10 minutes. I counted 32 in all. All moving on the same path, heading northeast. They were not moving fast, just about the speed of an orbiting satellite. I don’t think was a normal event.

Counted 50 perfectly spaced identical looking white Lights, Traveling in a straight line moving from west to east very fast and very silent. They had the appearance of a satellite in the upper atmosphere but they were perfectly spaced and too many in a row. We waited 90 min. They did not appear again, as a normal orbiting satellite would Traveling around the planet.

Blackwell, MO
I went outside in the backyard and looked up and saw numerous objects flying over the house at a high altitude in a straight line with equal-distant spacing. They were traveling in an east, north-east direction. At arms length, they were approximately 1 foot apart. They were traveling six to ten times the speed of a commercial jet. They were white and did not strobe like a commercial jet. While observing them with binoculars, I saw bright lights cross their paths at extremely high speed like a meteor. I did not observe any sound. I called relatives two miles away and they were able to also view them.

Lights very high in the atmosphere passed over 1 at a time spaced evenly and in a straight line. They were moving east. As they passed overhead, they disappeared. As I was watching 3 dimly lit orbs raced by traveling south. One was traveling in a straight line while the other 2 danced around on each side. Another light (very high in the atmosphere slowly moved overhead and stopped and hovered for at least 5 minutes. Very weird. They were definitely too high to be military aircraft and way too many to be satellites.

One green orb moving really quickly from right to left above the Fremont bridge. It moved very fast and covered a large distance from my vantage point.

at 0445 on 3/4/2020 while out in my back yard with my dog , i was looking at the stars when i saw movement, than I started to watch around 40 moving lights that seemed to start from nowhere and move across the sky all in a very straight line , every about 10 there would be one out off to the southern side of the group the whole group was moving in a north eastern direction. All the lights looked to be at sub-orbital or orbital height, my background is in the Air force controlling air craft in the field and now i work for the government.

I stepped outside to take a smoke. My eyes immediately were drawn to a light high in the sky, moving very swiftly to the west, just under the moon. At first, I thought it was a satellite, but it moved much faster than any satellite I've ever seen. & every satellite I've ever seen would continue to stay in vision. However, even though the area I was looking at was clear of clouds, it disappeared. It looked like it was going up into the atmosphere, not in orbit. It was by far the fastest thing I've ever seen move in the sky, with the exception of shooting stars & the fireball I witnessed for 3-4 seconds fall & break into pieces just recently (2/25/20, in the northwestern sky). I'd estimate that I saw it zip by for about 5 seconds.

There was two bight white lights and were intertwining each other. There was also blue, green and red light going in between them. One orb disappeared and the other orb shot a light beam straight up and the second orb appeared a ways away above the other one. They blinked on and off for 20 plus minutes. I did video tape the lights for a bit, but I did not tape them when I first saw them intertwined and split. Was not sure of what I was seeing. Then I went into the house to get my cell to tape it.

Nashville (Whites Creek), TN
While traveling north on Briley pky seen craft/ object directly above the Cumberland River. The craft or object seemed to start traveling at same rate of speed as we were travelling then slowed. Then all of a aydden it was racing across the sky ahead of us. Until we arrived at our home. Our house sits on a hill and the craft or object was almost directly in front of our home postitioned in the sky then suddenly shot off at warp speed into the night sky. We could see the light trails coming from the object as it disappeared into the sky into outer space.

Jersey City, NJ
Two witnesses: One 32 year old man who is a pharmacist, and one 34 year old man who is an operations manager for a commercial real estate company. I live in Jersey City, NJ on the 8th floor of a building. My large windows face west with minimal obstruction from buildings or trees. The other witness spotted a bright light in the sky and told me to look at it (I’m a sky gazer and am familiar with the typical star layout – which isn’t much since we’re so close to NYC). I walked to the window to check it out, and it looked exactly like a bright star. But it was red and has also never been there before. I grabbed my binoculars, which are high powered, to take a look on the balcony. The red light had about 5 or 6 smaller lights above it in a circular or possibly a hexagonal pattern, which were not visible to the naked eye. The large light almost looked like it was jiggling a bit as if it was like a ball of jello. Newark airport is nearby and I regularly watch the planes take off and land. I have a real-time app on my phone to track all of the planes in the area since I find it interesting. This object was not on the radar. After a few minutes of watching, it was clear that this wasn’t an aircraft that the average person is familiar with by any means. Both the main bright light and the smaller lights above/surrounding it changed colors several times. They were usually red and green, but sometimes white. The smaller lights above the main large light initially were stationary but then would start spinning in a bizarre manner as the “UFO” started moving or changing directions. Left, right, forward, backward, ascending, descending. All directions. The object landed on the ground in the distance behind a building. I’m not sure how far away it was though. It went straight down to the ground and straight back up on two occasions. I tried to capture a video with my iPhone while also looking through the binoculars because I couldn’t take my eyes off of it, but the iPhone video does no justice. Although, in the video you can see the general movement of the light in the sky as well as the larger light changing in color. I have a few iPhone videos about 60-90 seconds long. In one of the videos there is a 2nd green light that looks almost orb-like that jumps around on its own and moves across the screen – I’m not sure if it’s related or not, but my phone was steady and the light moved around in an odd manner. While watching the videos in slow motion, there are other strange light movements that I originally didn’t notice. At one point there appears to be a slight trail of a light moving by quickly. I'm going to forward the videos and a map of my location to ufocntr@nwlink.com

For the past several weeks, beginning in mid February, almost every night around sunset until approximately 22:00 hours there is a spherical light that rises and moves erratically until it reaches a certain point/altitude and stops. It then moves occasionally, sometimes quickly but with a jerky or erratic movement. It remains in the sky for approximately 2-3 hours and then moves or descends. At first I thought it was a drone and then possibly a weather balloon. It appears in the North West sky almost nightly. We have also seen an identical craft in the North sky that appears around a half hour after the first, but then disappears from our view. I have looked for reasonable explanations, but can’t find any. We can’t be the only people seeing this because it’s been happening for several weeks. It’s in the direct path of aircraft coming to the Charlotte Douglas Airport, but appears to be either much higher or much lower altitude. It appears to be much lower. I attempted filming it, but don’t have the right equipment. I’m going to attempt again as it is still appearing.

This morning, March 3 2020 i took the dogs out at 545 am. I Looked up in the northern sky and saw what i thought was a satellite. It was moving from SW to NE.which is the direction I usually will see the space station orbit but not many satellites. I watch them all the time and this one was moving fast. Faster than the space station . No lights, no sound. All of a sudden here came another one, same flight path, then another, then 2, one in front of the other, all in the same flight path all at the same speed all in single line. Most were about 6 secs apart but a few were real close to each other, in tandem. Over about 4 mins I counted 24 of them.I have contacted NORAD and the Klamath falls air base.

Andover, IL
On the morning of March 2, 2020 I was sitting in my living room listening to music. It was 4:45 am. I noticed a light moving northeast from my area. My first thought was that it was a plane. I saw 10 more in succession and got up to move to the window. These lights continued to cross my sight line going northeast. After seeing about 30 of them, I stepped out on my front porch to get an idea of where they were coming from. It seemed that they were dropping down from the same point in the sky. About one half mile east and south of my house. They would first appear as a dull orb, drop down and become much brighter and then move northeast in a straight line behind the others. I continued to watch until the last one, which was at a longer interval than the others dropped down and took off following the others. I would estimate between 50 and sixty of these lighted orbs continued northeast in a straight line. As the moved farther away they took on the appearance of a long line of! light due to the regular distance between each vehicle. The sky was clear at this time.

So far newspaper has not responded to my email. I do want to clarify what the ball/sphere looked like. A very bright orange and it looked like a ball of Fire...the fire was not effected by the travel of the sphere. It looked like what you would imagine the sun looking like setting stationary. The flames was not effected by the object moving....it did not have a tail. I estimate it was traveling between 25 - 30mph. (Balls seemed to be larger than a beach ball and a bit smaller than the circumference if a hula hoop. Extremely bright orange. Below is what I emailed newspaper... I’m just curious....Did anyone report 3 bright orange lights flying north between Kelly Mill and post road? I feel awkward asking but my curiosity has gotten the best of me. I believe it was around 9 last night and I was in backyard with my dog. I saw what appeared to be a very bright orange ball which looked like a flickering orange flame shooting from the ball. There was cloud cover last night, the bright orange ball flew beneath clouds and seemed to be about 20 - 25 feet above my neighbors roof flying at a good speed north. I stood there for a couple of minutes trying to make sense of what I saw. I then grabbed my husband and went to the front of house and saw 3 of these balls....one farther ahead and two which were closer together. They were not losing altitude but seemed to be going higher yet still below clouds. If it were drones all three must have had spontaneous combustion. The one that flew over neighbors house had no sound at all. I’ve been around drones! and they have a low buzz sound. I’m ruling out Chinese lanterns....there was no wind and they were following each other at a pretty good pace. I thought about military jets but these were below clouds, no sound and did not have the speed of a jet. I’m stumped. Just curious if you had any reports.

It was in the sky away from any buildings or light, I have seen it from my balcony I am on the top floor. I have seen one, it would vanish and come back to the same spot. It was an orange craft, and whenever a plane came by, it would vanish. And come back once the plane was gone. The light on the orange craft would glow from lighter or brighter. It just kept disappearing and reappearing.

Medicine Park, OK
I walked up the hill from home in the dark and saw a stream of lights traveling S to M. They were evenly spaced singly or in twos This went on for several seconds They travelled at less speed than the space station They were smaller than the space station appears from earth. After they were gone there were 2 large very bright orbs- comparable to the space station-positioned vertically below the Big Dipper and not moving They vanished a few seconds later.
