Long slow moving straight line of lights that change color and shape that dim like a light bulb

Standing in the Wendy's parking lot looking westbound over the Chase Bank parking lot at approximately 6:45 p.m. on November 9th, I witnessed 19 lights in a straight line appear out of the dark sky slowly float eastbound. The line of lights slowly changed brightness like the dimming of a dining room light in different sequences and then in gradation from one end to the other in a repeated pattern. As the single line of lights traveled eastbound overhead and higher into the sky the 19 lights starting at the most northern point started to dim out of existence until the last light went dark. This display of lights occurred for approximately 5 to 10 minutes.

Location: Batavia, NY, USA
Location details: Looking north

Shape: Rectangle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

It reminded me of a train with the frame of the windows lit with a white light.

The rectangle lights were in a straight line, with approximately five or six rectangles in a row with no spacing between. These lights did not look like the "Starlink Satellite" images or video, those looked like white dots, what I saw did not. I was looking north out my front window, and they moved in a horizontal west to east direction.

The month and year were August 2022, I do not remember what day. The time was just before the eastern sky began to get light, but again, I do not remember the exact time, it was a year ago.

What I saw went slow and steady in a straight line with no zig-zagging. It lasted under a minute before the nearby trees obscured my view.

Unfortunately I did not have enough time to grab a camera.

Shape: Teardrop
Characteristics: Lights on object

Driving on the highway- I saw a teardrop craft that crossed the length of the sky in less than 2 seconds.

I’m a skeptical believer. But I’ve never seen anything that defined a phenomenon until earlier this year. Driving home from Canada, my boyfriend was driving and I was looking out the window at the sunset. I caught a craft that managed to cross the entire sky in under 3 seconds. The craft was cone shaped with lights on it, and was approximately the height and distance of a landing plane. The speed was what was shocking. I’m a scientist, and the speed that this craft crossed the sky and disappeared was bewildering. I was in shock for a few minutes after. I knew it couldn’t have been any sort of man driven craft due to how fast it was going, and it was a miracle I saw it. I was completely sober and wide awake as well. Even though the sighting only lasted seconds, I can visualize every detail.

object more than 1,000' long x 20'wide (maybe more it was immense), straight row of lights in a pattern of dots and dashes down the spine (but not exactly a dot dash pattern just closest I can describe to the pattern), approached then hovered over us. Strange mechanical (?) noise above. Lights slowly went out from one end to the over, shape disappeared with the lights. Noise is still on going as I type. We have a large outdoor patio with a 12' tall stone wood fired oven decorated across the dome of the oven with Christmas lights in a white diamond pattern. It has attracted aerial drones, small personal planes and the like before, but we've never seen anything like this. Just trying to cook pizza for dinner.

Three lights, arranged in such as manner as to portray a submarine, only in my field of view for about thirty seconds or less,real big.

I was video chatting with my friend, when I heard this strange, low rumble. Kind of like a toned-down jet sound. I looked out my window and happened to touch my window, and it was vibrating softly. I didn't see much, considering it was nighttime, but I saw three green lights, I believe they were all green. The thing was much too large to be a helicopter and wasn't a plane, I don't think, if I didn't know better I'd say it was a giant flying submarine. There was one light in front, one in the middle a little higher up than the others, and one in the back. It seemed to be headed southeasterly from where I live.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Color, Aircraft nearby

Triangular UFO witnessed by 3 people and then again at different location by unknown person.

I was driving from East Pembroke to Batavia on Main street. Black, triangular craft flew overhead towards Batavia. Flashing white lights on back, flashing red light in center. Roughly the size of a car or perhaps up to the size of a jet. Tilted on its left axis. Moving left and right. Flew past a second stationary white object not moving at all. The triangle was moving very slowly. It was too slow to be a jet, too quiet to be a plane, too big to be a drone. Also did not look like a plane. If anything it looked like a huge drone. We saw 10+ lights in the sky that night and there were 2 that were particularly weird. We got to our friends house in Batavia and I texted a friend about it. My friend then sent me a few pictures of the same object witnessed by a friend of his. I saw it, my girlfriend saw it, and my girlfriends mom saw it while we were in the car and all agreed it was really weird. Then my friends friend who I don't even know saw it and took pictures. The friend of a friend also stated that the object's lights were changing colors in front of them which was backed up by the fact that the picture they sent had 1 green and 1 pink light on the back. The red light in the center was still the same color though, and we're 99% sure it had to be the same object. Shortly after, we heard a helicopter heading towards its location, but didn't get a look at it. We also saw multiple other suspicious objects that night, but nothing un-explainable the way that one was.

Three silent orange low flying lights circled for 15 minutes.

At about 8:45 p.m. Central time my wife arrived home after orchestra practice exclaiming to me that there were strange lights in the sky circling above our part of town. I quickly went outside to see what she was talking about. We saw three distinct orange lights circle about three times. From beginning to end the event lasted no more than 15 minutes.

They were flying low and silently. The fact they were orange peaked my interest because that is not the color of regulation aircraft lighting. The whole night struck me as odd because two hours earlier while coming home from picking up a pizza for dinner I saw three stationary white lights in the eastern sky near the moon. I assumed they were news helicopters, but now I am not so sure.

I was sitting at the dining room table and heard three small knocks at the corner of my house. My 3 dogs started barking and I looked up to the window just in time to see what looked like the top of a blonde head go along the bottom side of the window from the outside. I live in the country but on a well traveled road so nobody would be brave enough to snoop or ding and ditch. So I was watching from the table to see if I seen anything else. My dogs stayed on edge through the whole event.

Then in the sky I seen a bright light blink on. I watched it confused for about 3 minutes and when I realized it wasn't moving I went to the window to get a better look. It was so bright that it had light streams coming off either side. That's when I yelled for my daughter to bring my phone so I could record it. She woke up both my sons in the process. We recorded it, not sure how long. A new smaller light came off the main light to the left. Then a short while later a small! light camr off the right and then dropped down fast and went under the main light to the left.

Then my memory cut out on my phone. As I was trying to delete older videos off my phone the main light just blinked out. We waited to see something else but nothing happened.

chopper chasing a round bright light over Batavia New York!!!!!

it started as me my wife, and my 11 year old grandson was taking a walk. we heard a chopper, and it came into view.. Suddenly, we noticed a large round bright white light moving steady without making any sound at all, other than the helicopter that was staying in a steady speed behind the craft, at a distance of about 100 yards. It was like the helicopter (was not) chasing the bright white light, but rather flying in formation by using distance behind the craft. We all got a very good look at this thing, and as it passed over us. I could faintly see a gray round disc craft!!!! I can say this for sure. I never really believed fully that there were aliens, as well as UFO's, but I do believe it now, as I saw one!!!! With my own eyes..

There were a lot of lights and they all came together and swirled together, then dissipated.

They starting moving very fast, a bunch of different sets of lights it looked like spinning with each other. And then they suddenly just stopped, and started disappearing one by one. I got my picture as fast as I could.

white lights brighter than stars. thrugh binoculars you could see round craft detail of many lights outlined.

Looked like an extra bright star. But through binoculars I could see there was a bright white light in the center with several lights around the outside edge forming a circle. The object would turn a little, and it would turn oval. Then a couple of times it looked like something was partially in front of it. Something black that blocked part of itself and you could see no glare. There were 2 like this and possibly one other farther off that was a blinking white haze. They were hanging out trying to look like stars. This was in the south sky and I know for a fact they weren't stars or planets.

Upside down pyramid with four rows of lights with glowing green humanoid (also orb).

I still cannot get my boys to sleep....on our way home on Galloway Road in the field adjacent to the Baptist church there I saw an "upside down triangle" craft hovering about 4 feet off of the ground with 4 - 5 rows of lights on the different "levels"....after I exclaimed what I had seen my boys all saw it too....I pulled into the church parking lot and almost got STUCK! After getting free as it was slippery and the snow was just starting to pick up- my 15 year old JUMPED out of the back seat and started toward the sight trying to take pictures of it, I was terrified for him. At this point we all noticed that there was a 2-4 foot tall GLOWING NEON GREEN humanoid type being standing directly beside this craft. It would look toward my son with the camera, then back at the craft floating beside him about 6-7 times quickly to each thing, then after about 1 minute my 15 year old took off RUNNING full speed back to the car. He was scared becaus! e he said that the being was "noticing his picture taking". Of course our luck,,,,right when my oldest started taking pictures the snow really started to pick up and it did not help us to get very clear shots.... He said that he tried to take 4 pictures but could only take one...then on the way home as we discussed the incident- the other 3 pictures mysteriously appeared. Furthermore, when my son took off running towards me to get back in the car because he was scared- the car doors locked!!! My 9 year old, who was in the front passenger seat said "MOM! UNLOCK THE DOOR!" I was pushing the button but I could not unlock it! Then my 12 year old son manually unlocked his back door and let him in....and we took off! It was a scary, yet awesome experience for all of us. My oldest kept begging me to turn around and go back, but I would not, he said "something" told him to walk towards it, and also go back and see it again. Also, after we got home and e! xamined the pics we saw a donut shaped glowing orb that we did! NOT SEE in person....we are somewhat disappointed with the pics quality but my son was too scared to use his flash and like I said it was snowing hard.

While out driving on November 7, 2015, my wife and I had seen something strange. We had seen a triangular shape object and it had a set of lights that looked white. I had tried to take pictures but my camera would not focus so I didn’t get any pictures.

We were in East Pembroke on Indian Falls Rd when we had seen this unusual object. We had decided to pull over and within five minutes of sitting there the object had started to move. It didn’t move very fast. It also made no noise as well as being very low.

Airliner "foo fighter"? Bright point of light plays with airliner.

6:30 pm. I-90 west bound from Batavia, NY 10-15 min event 3 airliners leaving short contrails. Odd thing, if there were four, they would have been evenly spaced in a trailing line formation. Two ahead, a space and the third.

1 ufo around trailing aircraft.

Wink in and out. Very bright. Very fast. Ahead behind and around. Seemed to be "playing" around the last airliner.

I cannot judge their altitude. I could roughly judge speed. If the airliners were moving at about 400 knots, then this "Bright Light object" must have been doing 1000-2000 knots to be able to dart ahead and behind and all around. I did not see it the whole time of the event as it kept "winking" in and out of view. It was extraordinarily bright. In the few minutes that I saw this happen, the first time "it" winked out and winked back into view as a bright point of light I knew it wasn't a fighter jet. Even a fighter with afterburners could not move that fast. Also about midway through the event this light danced around the airliner, again, even a fighter is not that nimble. The speed and agility and brightness and very close proximity to the airliner combined are what really caught my attention.

Being the only observer, I'm approx. 40 years old. Tradesman.

Shiny sphere following a plane turned 180o and vanished into the sky!

I was leaving the house with my wife to go grab a bite to eat. We were driving out on my street going East.

The sky was completely clear and blue. Sunset had started and I was looking at the sky admiring the scenery. The sun light coming from the west was shining bright when reflected by planes cruising at very high altitude. I saw at least 6 planes cruising at very high altitude, probably 30k to 36k feet, following two routes patrern from east to west. Every single one of the planes had very visible chemtrails.

Then I realized there was a extremely bright esphere by one of the airplanes. It stroke me as odd, because it was too early yet for stars to appear in the sky. I told my wife to look at it, and we both realized that the brightness of the object was coming from the reflection of the sun light. It was definitely metalic and reflecting the sun light. But how could that be? The object was in the form of a large esphere, about 2 to 3 times the size of the airplane nearby it. It was crusing along the airplane. About the same altitude and same speed. No chemtrail whatsoever! We realized then that we could be looking at a UFO! We were very skeptical at first. But then the object which seemed to be following the airplane, turned to the opposite side, and start accelerating eastward. The speed in which it was going was about 10 times the speed of the planes. Then It just went straight up and the bright faded until it was gone out of sight, which took about 3 to 5 seconds! We could tel! it was going up, because it was not going in the direction of the horizon.

That was it. My wife and I looked at each other almost not believing what just had happened!

Orange/Red Spheres seen by four people in Southwest Ohio

On Monday, 22 October 2012 at approximately 7:30pm EST I was standing out of doors with a group of three other people at 1131 Old. St. Rt. 74, Batavia, Ohio 45103, when two groups of bright orange/red lights caught my attention. The first group came from the east and traveled in a WNW direction. The second group came along about ten minutes later, appearing from a more southerly direction and traveling on a NNW line. If I were to draw a line on a map, the first group was heading towards Indianapolis and the second was headed towards Fort Wayne, Indiana.

I was not able to distinguish any physical form within the lights so it is hard to estimate their elevation, but they appeared to be very high... my guess would be approximately 10,000 feet. The lights also seemed to be traveling very, very fast. The first set of lights was visible for about twenty seconds, the second group I was able to track much longer... nearly a minute. If I am correct about the elevation of the lights, I would say their rate of travel was over twice that of any jetliner I have ever seen in the sky. It is worth noting that in both instances there was absolutely no sound apparent from the objects.

The lights were in a group of three that would coalesce into a single light, then split apart to three separate lights and then again regroup. This happened repeatedly with both groups of lights. The color of the light varied from a light orange, to orange to red. This coloring was also fluctuating. Estimating the size of the lights is again difficult as there was nothing concrete to offer comparison, but when asked how they looked in relation to a star or the moon it gave me an idea to perhaps explain it. If the moon were the size of a basketball then the lights would be about the size of an American fifty cent piece. Likewise, if a star were a dime, the lights would relationally be roughly the size of a basketball. So, they were much larger than a star, but much smaller than the moon.

I hope this helps.

Orb sited under cloud,disappears, then a minute later see it falling out of the sky like a metorite, jet chasing it.

On 06/26/10 at 15:22 hrs, I observed a ufo. I was laying out at the pool, with friends, I was looking at the clouds, wondering if it was going to rain, patchy cloud cover,with a giant clear blue sky in center of clouds. I noticed one cloud had to holes in it, and could see sky through them, as I went from cloud to cloud just looking at how wonerful the sky was. I noticed a brown comtrail heading east,that was well above the clouds, I followed the comtrail to another cloud, and as my eye met that cloud an Orb appeared from nowhere under the clouds, it was grey and spherical in shape it was moving west at a speed of an airliner, it seem to spin and catch the sun it went from dull grey to shinny metalic,with a gold like rim on the forward front of sphere,then it became pure white, it blinked one time a larger whitness, then I thought to myself it see's me,maybe 5 seconds I saw it, it traveled apx 1 mile, and just then it disappeared into the pure blue sky.

Well I told my friend sitting next to me I just saw a ufo, he said yeah right, well as he was cracking jokes, I kept looking up to the sky, about 1 minute latter in the open blue sky, away from all the clouds, what now appears to be a metorite stars to fall towards earth,apx 100,000 ft, I yell to my friend thats no jet, and he yelled hell no, it's moving way to fast. It was a pure white short comtrail, I noticed a redish point small like a pixtel, as we watch it free fall, it turned off the comtrail for a second then back on, leaving a dash in the sky, it's comtrail maybe a mile long, I thought maybe it's a metorite, but it leveled off and went west, 50000 ft, about a minute later, as were watching, a jet flying so high and fast had same brown color comtrail as I observed earlier,now was chasing after this object,west, but the object had to be 50 miles if not more ahead of him. I watched ufo until I could no longer see tail, it faded into the blue sky, but I would guess it w! as in Iowa by then.The comtrail from jet was 10miles long,but this orb, its tail was very short and pure white.

I know what I saw, I am self taugh in many things, I have studied ufo's and never, ever wanted to see one. I am reporting this because it's my duty as an American citizen, I swear to what I am saying to be true.

A UFO was seen to the north of our house.

On Sunday, February 28, 2010 at approximately 6:00 a.m. my father reported seeing a ufo. He described it as being a large white light in the sky just above a telephone pole to the north of our house. The light looked much like a regular star in the sky but much more prominent than the other stars. When my father viewed the light through a pair of binoculars, it appeared to be a light composed of about 7 to 9 smaller lights. To the left of this large light was another smaller light. Suddenly, the light started to move up and toward the south, right over our house.

The light was the only thing that could be seen throughout this entire ordeal. No craft could be completely seen through this light. As the light moved toward our house, it moved with the speed of a regular airplane. It was also noted that 2 small lights were blinking under the main light, in sequential order. After the light moved over our house it continued traveling south until in could no longer be seen.

Possible 7-8 flares seen in sky

Was traveling on State Route 276 to Bauer Road East, towards State Route 32. Just before we reached Bauer Rd. we looked up in the sky to our left. We saw about 7-8 orange colored glowing balls in the sky. I've seen them before, possibly flares. It was cloudy and so they quickly disappeared within 1-2 minutes.

i saw a bright light that i though was awfully bright, and low to the ground to be a normal plane. i also noticed there was no flashing light as normal planes have. i actually got close enough to where i had to look stright up to see it. and i noticed there were 3 lights in a triangular shape, and off to the side, outside of the triangle made by the lights, there was a small, flashing red light, it was a fraction of the size of the other lights. it appeared to be hovering, then it would move slowly, then stop then move again finnally it just keep going at a high rate of speed. then on my way back from where i went, i saw a nother craft coming from the area i saw the first craft heading, this was about 15 mins later. this craft was brighter had many small lights in a row, and one large bright in the front with 2 bright rapidly flashing lights.it was moving at a quick steady pace unlike the previous. the law these lights flased looked very similar to a normal planes'.

Pulsing light in South-West Ohio (Clermont County)

On Monday, Nov 3rd, 2008, my wife and I were heading east-bound on US32 when we noticed a bright, stationary light due east. The light was about the same intensity of a car's headlamp, but pulsed with a 2 second interval in between pulses.

We maintained contact with the light as we exited U32 and continued to watch the light which did not move in over a 2-3 minute period. At this point, the light began to change color and turn from a whitish color to a red-orange and then disappeared. My wife initially thought it could be a low flying plane or helicopter, but was disproved when we saw a helicopter flying to a local hospital...and seeing planes flying in the area. While planes and helicopters have strobe-type lights, these where much larger and pulsed very slowly. There also where no "running lights" common in other aircraft.

Flashing Vertical Beam of White Light from an unknown source

I was driving westbound on the New York State Thruway, between the LeRoy and Batavia Exits, when I noticed a white beam of light, vertical, flashing on for a few seconds, then off for several.

The sky was mostly cloudy, I was unable to determine whether the source of this light beam was from the ground or air. This beam was approximately four miles from Batavia and approximately two miles north of the Thruway in what I would describe as a rural, farming area.

Finally, other vehicles on the Thruway appeared to slow down while this light was visible. I reported this to the Meteorology Department at WIVB, Channel 4, Buffalo, New York. I have not received a response.

4 object in daylight

I walked out of a store on Randall road in Batavia, IL. I saw 3 objets flying in a circle. My first reaction was to think they were birds. I quickly realized that was not the case. They were much too high to be birds and at that altitude, birds could not be seen. They were moving in a counter-clockwise rotation in a circle and silver in color. Their path was not perfect or even eliptical. They moved in an erratic motion going closer and farther from the center of the circle. One moved away from the rest to the West and then disappeared. The second one did the same. The third one moved in the same direction, but went much slower and slowly faded out. About 30 second later another object appeared to be the size of the first 3 put together. It was silver at the top and went to bronze at the bottom. It stayed stationary for 30 seconds and then went straight up at a high rate of speed and disappeared. We did notice military jet in the area. I couldn't tell what they were doing.

My mother and I were driving home from the last choir concert of the year when I was in 8th Grade...we came up to the corner just before our house, the corner of Mill Street and Haines Drive, and I was listening to my CD Player just idly looking out the window, and my gaze drifted over towards the left side of the car (which would be towards the East, towards Braeburn Marsh from my house) and I immediately screamed at my mom to stop the car and look. We both saw a VERY large object, as big as the moon, almost walnut-like in appearance because it looked very crumpled and mangled, falling through the sky about a mile away from out house. It was radiating a red and orange and yellow glow around it, like fire and flames I figured, because it left a long trail of dark grey smoke behind it. Me and my mom just watched it for a minute or two thinking "Holy ((deleted))" to ourselves, and it just kind of silently faded out of view. There wern't that many clouds out, so it didnt just disappear behind clouds...it just faded from view. It wasnt falling AWAY from us either, just almost straight across the sky, traveling down at MAYBE a 10 degree angle. Afterwards, we drove down to the area where we thought it mightve been (no forests or fields or anything, all suburbs) but we didnt find a thing, and I called a few of my friends the next morning, but none of them had seen a thing.
