1 object north east bound disappeared then two bright objects disappeared then the last object covers a large area of the sky making no sound and leaving no chemicals Shortly after a plane at approximately 30,000 feet took 3 times the amount to travel the same distance and I could here it breaking the sound barrier very strange , at first I thought drones from Aberdeen proving ground but having a military background these were not planes

It was a red light that turned white. Static light, not blinking. The size of a regular star, 2 or 3 times faster than an airplane or sattelite. It seems it was higher than airplanes normaly fly. From northwest to southeast.

We were walking on our rooftop on Riverside Drive when we looked up and saw balls of light, they were moving in a figure 8 formation.

Tucson, AZ
Two of us saw, at first a stationary single point of bright red light against blue sky, then as changing colors of red, white and black, as if it was falling and tumbling while stationary at the low flight level over city at 4:50 pm on 12/12/2020 to the east of our house. Then, it blinked out with no sound and no trail. We saw and heard a plane, coming from the west, go over to the same low flight level spot in the sky, three to five minutes later.

So I was out walking my dog and I was looking at the sky because I’m in love with the universe and we’re outside for about 15 mins. We begin to walk back home headed east, the sky is clear you can see every single star. I continue to stare at the sky and I noticed what I thought was a shooting star. I instantly thought no way I’ve never seen a shooting star my whole life. The ball of light went straight and picked up an immense amount of speed it leaving behind a white tail of light as it travelled across the sky. All of a sudden the light disappeared like it went behind a curtain and the tail followed behind and disappeared into the night sky. I can only describe the visualization as it possibly opened a portal and disappeared once inside taking the tail of light with it. I’ve never seen something travel across the sky like this! It cleared 2/3 of my field of vision in what felt like two seconds.

I just saw a single moving light. It didn’t blink like a plane. It was similar to a satellite but much brighter and bigger. It seemed to be at airplane altitude, not satellite altitude. It made no sound, moved at a steady pace like a satellite. I’m in a very urban area and only the brightest stars can be seen at night and can never see satellites here.

Carson City, 12/10/20: Just after dusk looking at sky. In a split second 2 blue/white lights, streaked very high above me as fast as snap of fingers, side by side, simultaneously, then disappeared and no sound.

Lagrange, IN
I was talking to a friend in my driveway and witnessed strange lights low in sky. The light was very bright white and meandering around slowly. Too slow to be a plane and too bright to be a drone. After 15 minutes or so the light turned red and occasionally flashed the bright white light. Eventually it faded off heading west best I could tell.

Greenfield, IN
It was a beautiful sunny day with low cloud cover. I was going home driving eastbound and I looked to the north east and saw bright lights on a sunny day facing westbound. It was the size of a football field at least. This object was hovering over a barn on 200 North in Greenfield . I then turned to the south and it went invisible in the sky, but I could still see a shadow behind it. After getting home, I went to a trail in town and by this time I was one mile south but directly across from where I saw it before. So, I looked I. The sky and it came back into view again. This time I saw white and then it looked like it. Hanged a shape cause then I saw what looked like dark glass windows or mercury but only vertical. It just faded into the sky, went invisible. I couldn’t believe what I saw. I haven’t told anyone but my family cause I don’t think anyone will believe me. I waited to see if social media would say anything. It’s only been one day but I know what I! saw! (MUFON CMS)

Tucson, AZ
At 3A and unable to.sleep i decided to take a walk and see if that would calm my mind. I always look up.at the sky...looking for.stars, watching.aircraft from the airbase, spotting satellites, and identifying.the large number of.drones that are being used in our skies. I pretty much know what lights are requiired and where they must.be placed on aircraft and drones....my hobby.has.been.all.about identifying these things. I noticed two propeller driven aircraft approach from the west in the flightpath to.the airforce base. I then noticed two lights...some.type of craft with only a simgular light that appeared to be rotating and.changing color very quickly from red to blue to orange, then green and back.to red. They also had the appearance of blinking, but.it was not in a synchronous pattern as one would see in all aircraft. These lights quickly.came.from the east and.then positioned.themselves above and.below where.the.aircraft would pass. As.the.aircraft gr! ew close to.these lights.they both disappeared, only.to reappear after the aircraft had passed. These lights.then moved erratically, hovering at times. Eventuly.both went to an area of the sky that was about five miles east of where.they had been. The southernmost light divided and became two lights..the southernmost light rapidly.accelerated towards Mexico. The two.lights then proceeded to do a dance...at times.touching..and moving up towards the level where cirrus clouds could.be seen. The last time they.hovered just under the.cloud and one could barely see that.there were apx ten other lights.just above the cloud dancing as well. One light.then disaapeared, the other drifted in a.drunkenly manner towards the northeast. Nothing else appeared, and it was now 0400. At 6A i went.back outside just in time to see a similar object enter my field of view and quickly head west were when it reached the Tucson Mountains began to follow the crest if.this small range.northward. Upon reaching the location of Wasson Peak (highest point.of the range) it gave a brilliant white flash and dissapeared. I sited one other.odd object during.this.time. The constellation Orion was low.in the Southwestern sky heading.for its.setting. I noticed what appeared to be a sattelite moving towards the.northeast, i.noticed it when it was passing over an orange colored star, both being perhaps 20 degrees to the north of Bettelguese. As i had been looking at Orion i found it odd that the trajectory of.this.sattelite meant it.had come through.the field if view looking at Orion. I should have seen it there, but did not. I then noticed that this orange star was.moving.very slowly....i checked Orion to see.how.fa! st it was moving towards he horizon. It was moving much slower.than the.orange star. .Orion also.was moving.in a straight trajectory towards the west. This.star moved in an.erratic pattern towards WSW....not the direction nor speed that all.stars would.be seen as doing. I decided it.was time to.head.in and get ready for.the.day, so.i did.not see anything elae.

Denver, CO
I was driving home either 12-7-20, or 12-8-20, about 18:30. Driving north on Santa Fe (Highway 85). Saw unusual light, like an airplane but not. It was flashing on and off, slower than an airplane strobe, and then would go off completely, and basically disappear for a few minutes, and then I would see it again. It was completely dark out. No red or green lights, no spotlight, did not act like a normal airplane or helicopter. Came on and then went off three or four times. Stayed in the same general area but was clearly moving. Similar in brightness to Jupiter, I think, but in the opposite direction in the sky.

Nogales, AZ
Went outside and saw a flickering light (red and white) moving from east to west pretty slowly when all of the sudden it stopped in mid air and the light got really bright (white) for about a minute, then it started moving back the direction it came from until it faded away. I can say the aircraft was flying relatively low and the movement was not that of a plane.

OCEAN CITY, MD
2 sets of lights hovering over the ocean near the inlet. The lights kept appearing and disappearing in the same area. The lights were red and white and flashing. The sky was very clear.

Eureka, KS
Driving east bound on rural highway 54, between eldorado Ks and eureka Ks. About 5 miles west of eureka. Very clear dark night, two white lights, tiny or way off in the distance looking almost straight north. The white light were clearly chasing each other, what got me most excited is both light traveling very fast came to a complete stop, went straight up, stopped then took off again headed west. I stopped pulled over and watched them travel west for a few seconds until they were out of sight.

ranchos de taos, NM
A Light that was shining brighter than all the other stars above the foothills to the east, (southeast?) caught my attention. I point it out to my friend and we observe that it not only is more bright it also is shining differently than surrounding stars. We see that it is shining different colors, blue, red, green, neon-purple, white, a brilliant patchy flickering of colors. At first, it appears to be staying still, but then we see that it is moving slowly, slowly upwards. As it moves up it gets smaller and smaller until it can no longer be seen.

Took dog out. Large bright white light directly overhead. Not moving then started moving to east and slightly south. Then began to descend, then disappeared. No red lights moved faster than a plane does. Light larger 10x or so and brighter than anything I've seen.

Pelican Rapids, MN
On Dec. 6th at approx. 18:30 we were driving southbound on Hwy 59. I was looking at the stars and noticed what looked like tower lights at first, but it was unusual. No lights were blinking, and the whole line was moving. I asked my husband to look and see what he thought. I had him pull over and we both got out of the car and watched this straight line of lights that were spaced evenly apart, except the last lights were two lights that were closer together, then one light, then 2 lights closer together again, and then one last light. They were all traveling at the same speed, and when they got to a certain point in the sky, each one disappeared when they hit that same exact point. It was a very clear night, with no wind, the lights did not float or hover. We have no idea what this could have been, but we have! never seen anything like it. It looked like a line of stars traveling in one straight line then disappearing. There had to be about 12-15 of the lights traveling from South to North. There was no noise associated with this. We were looking into the southwest over Prairie Lake by Pelican Rapids, MN. The time frame was approximately 2 minutes in duration. My husband tried to take a picture and record video but it was too grainy to see anything. x(disappeared) . . . . . . . . . . . . . X

Signal Hill, CA
I was walking my dog in Signal Hill, Ca. which is a small city atop a hill which overlooks the City of Long Beach, Ca. From my vantage point, I could see into the ocean and I was looking in a S/W direction. At that time, I observed an extremely bright white light, a bit lower than normal aircraft altitude (maybe 4000’) and not adhering to what would be the the normal LAX or LBC flight path, which caught my attention. The light was over the ocean, appeared to flicker in intensity, much brighter than a star and the sun was still out at the time, but nearing sunset. It was possibly off the coast of Huntington Beach, Ca. As I watched, the object appeared to be completely motionless for about 6 minutes, then the light slowly dimmed and went out over the course of about 4 seconds. At that point, I could no longer see anything in the area. I don’t know how long it had been there before I saw it. Just looked up and there it was.

Tallahassee, FL
I was walking out to my truck after dark around 8:30 pm to leave after having dinner with my aunt and uncle. I stopped and looked up to the sky for some reason when I unlocked my vehicle door. I saw what I believed to be a satellite moving slowly across the sky. It was simply just a dot of light far away. Then the object moved quickly downward and I knew it wasn’t a satellite. I gazed in awe as another bright light quickly moved towards it. They were moving very unnaturally. I stared for about one minute before the tree line obstructed my view.

Mount Shasta, CA
At the Bunny Flat parking lot on Mount Shasta, a woman I had just met alerted me to look into the night sky (it was about 5:30 PM and the sun had set about 1/2 hour or so before). What we saw was about 20 star-like objects moving from the east to the west. They were moving faster than satellites that I have seen before and several of them were in a v or triangle formation. There were a couple rouge ones too that were going west to east and then one that was going north to south. But the general movement was in unison and not in a straight line. It almost looked the stars just started moving to the west and then stopped or vanished. All the Starlink satellite info that I have read says that they move in a line formation but these weren't. There were several of us that saw this and we were all just visiting the mountain for the day.

Orlando, FL
We were driving out of our neighborhood and we coming to a stop sign. I looked up and seen a huge circle light. I yelled for my 10 year old daughter, “Look at that! Is that a star?” She looked up and we both watched the light at the stop sign and started. It looked silver and bright in a circle of light. It was higher up in the sky than a plane and it was too big to be a star in the distance. The sun was out and shinning. All of a sudden it just vanished! Gone! I drove and drove and pulled over to see if we could see it anywhere. It was just gone! Planes were flying by closer and looked like black fleas in the distance. If it were a plane it was definitely unlike anything I have ever seen fly over our skies and we are near the airport and our family retired with the airlines. This was not a plane! My daughter wanted to put it on her social media and denied her to. I thought we were losing our minds. I am glad I found your website. Now I know we were right wi! th what we seen. They are with us!!! And watching us!!!

Mountain home, ID
Saw three stars resembling Orion’s Belt to the south west. Confused, I kept my eye on it and gazed in awe as several more stars periodically appeared, all forming a straight line. At its peak, it looked like about 10 stars angling from left to right, all in a straight line. I was driving on 84 going west and was waiting for an exit to stop and take a picture, but one by one the “stars” faded away as I drove.
