Pulling out of driveway on hewins street in sheffield and saw a row of bright LED like lights level acros the sky maybe 10 to 12 lights long. I stopped and then drove north slowing watching as they did not move. After driving by a short section of trees and a small hill blocking my view the lights were no longer visible

Buffalo, NY
As I was driving on the thruway, I noticed what looked like a line of stars high in the sky. I was stunned by the perfect spacing and linear nature of the lights. As I drove toward this dotted line of lights, it began to move away and shrink in size. When I got close enough to drive under it, I lost sight of it.

While taking dogs outside to bathroom, I noticed 3 lights in sky directly above me. I then noticed these 3 lights moving as one to the West. Then while looking around, I noticed there were at least 40 similar lights all moving same speed and direction

Newberry, FL
I was letting our dog out and had glanced at the wall clock just before letting him out. The time was showing as 20:07. As I opened the screen door of the back porch I noticed an extremely bright orange light. This light seemed to be at an extreme distance and was about 45 degrees off the horizon and a few degrees off of due east. The light was brighter than the stars surrounding it and at first I thought it was Mars, but it was much brighter and the color was orange. I immediately sat down on the porch and braced my back and the back of my head against the wall. In this way, I could maintain my viewing angle without my heading moving. The object was moving at times albeit slowly. From my perspective it seemed to move up and down, as well as back and forth. Over that time I watched it move from almost directly east to a SSE direction and also from 45 degree angle in the sky to about 40 degrees. At the end of the encounter it began to dim out in 3 phases. Not a slow diminishing of its brightness but in phases. The time that I last saw it was 20:20. At 2 points during this viewing, it seemed as if I also saw a smaller, silver undefined shape of something moving around the orange light. This other object was never in my sight more than 2 seconds each time. I cannot rule out that it was not some kind of parachute flare, but it was at a high altitude and lasted for at least 13 minutes that I can attest. I have seen parachute flares in the past and they were much lower and did not burn as long. A flare would not account for the other object I saw though.

Edisto Island, SC
While sitting on the back porch overlooking the water on the evening of October 22, 2020 at 19:13, I noticed what appeared to be a single very bright yellow stationary light above the tree line. At first look, it appeared as a brightly lit planet (Jupiter) during ideal viewing conditions. It was rather large (very noticeable) and it resembled the brightness of a planet but the sky wasn’t quite dark enough to see such brightness from a planet and its location ruled out the possibility for it to be a planet. I grabbed my binoculars and was astonished to see upon focusing, that the single bright light I saw actually appeared as 4 large yellow lights with flashing red lights in between. It remained stationary as I observed and then the lights changed to a vertical or north south position and the flashing red lights disappeared while the four yellow lights I had initially seen changed to 5 or 6 solid yellow lights (I was unable to confirm 5 or 6 because it start! ed moving off to the right in this position and faded out of my view.) No sound could be heard (such that would be associated with an airplane.) Reflecting back, the whole viewing lasted (given that I had time to get up and take my binoculars from their case and adjust them) about 2-3minutes. I am a college educated healthcare professional (nurse) and my husband, a physician, witnessed this with me while having dinner on the porch.

San Antonio, NM
Witnessed two amber colored circular dots of light hopscotching each other horizontally across the sky and then disappear. At first we thought it was lights from an aircraft, but then we saw how they hopscotched over each other then quickly disappear, which made us both think that it was definitely not an aircraft.

Webb City, MO
This was at night about 30 minutes past sunset in a residential neighborhood. The UFO was spotted already moving in the sky from West to East. At first, I thought it was a small plane like a crop duster since there’s a local airport about 1/2 mile northwest of my location. However, a plane had just taken off and could be seen and heard headed South and was much larger in appearance. This UFO looked like a light orange ball of light and seemed to maintain a constant speed. As it passed directly overheard I listened for sounds of whirring if it were a drone, but heard none. A jet took off from the airport shortly after it passed directly overhead and appeared to be headed in the direction of the UFO. By the time it reached the UFO, you could tell the UFO was much higher in the sky. The jet turned north a bit and the UFO fell beyond my line of sight. Due to the difference in heights, it was hard to compare sizes, but it looked like it would still be smaller tha! n the jet had they been at the same height. The light was much brighter coming from the UFO than the jet’s lights despite the jet having been closer.

I am an amateur astronomer for 50 years, and was setting up to take a photo in the northern sky when I noticed 2 bright lights, magnitude ~0 to 1, approximately 0.3 degrees apart about 60 degrees altitude in the northeast sky. They were in a place with no bright stars and were immobile on observation for ~20 seconds. After that, one faded to dark, then the other faded about 5 seconds after the first.

Monticello, UT
I was motivated to report this incident after reading about the upcoming Pentagon report. I camped in Canyonlands National Park on October 20 and while watching the stars saw a single light in the distance that looked like a plane or star and appeared to descend and/or move further into the distance, before turning sharply in a smooth movement at a very high speed. It moved way too suddenly to be a conventional airplane. The light from it slowly faded as it headed in new direction.

Pasadena, CA
I work on the corner of Lake Avenue and Cordova in Pasadena, CA. I left work last night about 21:30 and headed North on Lake Avenue to the 210 Freeway entrance. As I neared last stoplight on Lake where the freeway entrance is to go East, I saw a man on the edge of the sidewalk to the right of me (300 block of N. Lake Ave.) with his right arm outstretched toward the West sky, his palm was open. I looked up to the left and saw a group of four round orange lights in a quasi-diamond shape. The lights seemed to be moving slowly and I could tell they were moving in my direction from the west to the east. The lights were definitely unlike anything I have ever seen. The stoplight turned green and I normally would get on the 210 freeway to go East. Instead, I turned right on a frontage street called Corson and pulled over to look at the lights. Once I stopped, I could see the lights were still moving in my direction but now two of the lights separated from the other two and went straight up then disappeared. I grabbed my cell phone and took a short video capturing the two remaining lights in the center of the screen. Visually, the two lights looked like they weren’t moving anymore, like they were hovering. I then realized I was parked in a red zone on the side of a street in a not safe place (homeless people, dark area) so I got in my car and headed home, getting on the freeway at the next entrance which is Hill Ave. When I got home, which is about 17 miles east of where I started, I could not see any lights and do not know what happened to them. At home, I watched the short video and noticed the beginning of the video captured the second of the two lights that went straight up and disappeared.

Canton, NC
We all watched as it went completely across our field of vision, which thankfully we have a large area that is cleared of anything that could possibly inhibit our line of sight. I would give an absolutely 100% time frame, but I was so stunned by what I was seeing, that I stood there dumbfounded, for several minutes and then we all stood there and discussed what we had seen. I know the exact time of when I got home, due to being a business owner, I have to keep track of all my travel information for income taxes. One other interesting thing about this, my mother, who lives about 6 acres away from us, called me the next morning and asked me had I heard the loud booming sound last night, which none of us heard anything. Not sure if that has anything at all to do with this, but it was around the same time. I do know that we 100% saw something, I am a skeptical person, and have never believed in Aliens or Unidentified Flying objects, but I know that we saw a round/oval object that flashed at least 6 different colors or variations of those colors and flew above my family for at least 3 to 5 minutes at speeds that I have never seen or heard of before. One other interesting thing, after reading several other reports from others, I developed an intense throbbing headache, which has not gone away since I witnessed the object, now it has been 4 days. I have taken Aleve, Advil, Tylenol pretty much anything that has ever worked before and it will not go away. All of the 5 of us, had a weird "taste/smell", like when you get an IV and you sense the salinity thru your nose or taste buds, its like a very faint miles away skunky smell that also had a metallic taste. Also, several family members have also had other symptoms that are unusual, my 21 year old son can't sleep at all, he is usually a heavy sleeper that could sleep anywhere really. My 14 year old has the funky smell/ taste thing like I do as well as the splitting headache. My husband who is usually quiet has become a very irritable person, who has a short temper and wants to argue with just about anyone or thing. So with all this, I'm still not sure what the hell we saw that night!

I was waiting for my son to take him to work as I looked at the stars I thought I saw a satellite crossing the sky. But then it stopped and got very bright and the took off moving again until it disappeared.

Fernie, BC · Canada
Appeared very distant like a star, but the brightness was changing frequently in intesity, which is what drew my attention to it (couldn't sleep 2AM and it was very bright). I watched it and noticed it was moving around sporadically and very quickly. It was seen in the NW sky from the town of Fernie above Mount Fernie. It faded out and dissapeared once. then susequently re-appeared and vanished completely after about 10 minutes. (Gone by 02:10)

Eagle point, OR
I was driving my friend home when as clear as day I see something shoot across the sky over the hills, Weirdly enough it didn’t have a light trail. My friend was there to hear my reaction but wasn’t able to see it himself because he was on his phone. I wouldn’t consider my self crazy and I believe in logical explanations but I’m failing to see the logic in this. The visual reminded me of a video I once saw of a tracer fire light but appearing to have come from the sky. I suppose there was a little bit of a light trail but not like one you would see from a shooting star. Was definitely not a shooting star.

Mount Hope, WV
My girlfriend was looking out the window because she thought she heard it started raining then seen a light. She went into the other window near the bathroom I was in and then seen the light zigzagging near a light pole near our place. She yelled for me to come look but I was peeing but stopped myself to go look as quick as I could. I was about 2 steps away from the window before she said it vanished. She thought it was possibly police or someone with a flashlight but we went outside immediately after her sighting and there was nobody outside. I tried to recreate it with a few different flashlights but the light wasn’t solid and you could only see the beam. I’m not skeptical but if I don’t see something firsthand then I suggest more scientific explanations first so I also suggested it being a drone but a drone wouldn’t just vanish and it’s not like she seen it in the sky.. it was approximately 200 feet off the ground. My second thought was ball lighting but ! it wasn’t lighting or even raining and she said the shape was like a oval.. she also said it was similar size to a circular sled.

Object went overhead at amazing speed. Was the size of a night star and was out of sight in a matter of seconds. Definitely not a meteor as I observe many meteor showers.

3 orange spherical lights moved from a south to northeast direction. These 3 moved in a group. Once these were out of my sight a 4th orange spherical light appeared over trees and followed the same path as the initial 3. The 4th light moved erratically from right to left as it headed in a northeast direction until it was no longer completely visible behind a distant tree.
