Six lights equal distance apart in a straight line formation rising up almost perpendicular from the horizon towards the upper atmosphere.
The uppermost light increased in speed and shot straight up into the atmosphere and disappeared out of sight. Followed by the next object which increased in speed and shot up out of sight, followed by the next and so forth until all six were gone. It was incredible to see. I had my girlfriend come outside to see and she said oh my God! It was quite a sight.

Train of lights headed into Nevada

I was outside early to let the dogs do their business. I saw some 'stars' that seem to be moving, so I was watching and making sure it wasn't an illusion. We've seen these lights a few times now and didn't get excited. We are just on the California side of the Sierras and I have assumed that these must be some sort of test craft. I was looking in a north-east direction at them (towards Nevada) when the sky lit up. Suddenly there was a "train" of lights. It started in the western sky behind me and then travelled east towards Nevada. There was some distance between each light and although they were travelling in a straight line, I'm pretty sure they weren't all always going the same speed. They were uniformly going in a straight line, but like traffic on a one way road, they weren't all going the same speed. I'm guessing here, but the line at it's longest must have been over 50 miles long - it spanned the entire sky west to east. NO sound whatsoeve! r.

The lights travelled like a train and when they were over the peak of the Sierras they headed DOWN and promptly disappeared.

This may be unrelated, but shortly before all this occured, when I went outside with the dogs, I noticed that our solar house battery lights flashed really strangely for about a minute.

Afterwards, we checked the outside security cameras to see if they caught anything but they were all aimed too low. Then it occured to us that it may have been picked up on a public web cam. The only cams like this I could find that would allow me to "playback" in time were some set up by PG&E (power company) to monitor for fires. I quickly found footage of the event. Unfortunately, the video is timelapsed, so the 5 minutes or so of this event is quite abreviated, but it shows the lights and the time/date info is all there.

I checked Mufon and other people elsewhere described the same thing on the same morning.

After the lights disappeared I saw the normal flashing lights of some sort of high-up jet plane flying east to west.

Anyway I have the timelapse video and would be happy to share it.

Light orbs in Groveland Florida on 02/19/20 at 09:00 PM

Approximately 9 pm left my truck to open a gate and saw a glowing light to the East. After watching it for about 5 minutes another light came out of the first one and staying in perfect calm position. About 3 minutes later the second glowing orb, went under the first and headed south. This light orb was approximately 3 miles away and at about 800 ft high.

An orange glowing discus shaped object over Groveland

There was a orange glowing discus shaped object in a stationary position in the ENE/NE sky over Groveland, MA. It was in that state for approximately 5 to 10 seconds and then it simply disappeared. There was no smoke or flash or anything of that nature, and it made no noise that I could detect. It simply vanished.

First, I'm not a strong believer.

Second, I'm doing this because I believe what I experienced was real.

My girlfriend and I stayed at a BnB in the Yosemite area in CA this weekend. On the first night at exactly 3am, I woke up, feeling like I was being watched. Approximately 20 minutes later, the cabin started to vibrate. I'm a combat veteran and I've never been that terrified ever.

The following night, again 3am, same thing. 20 minutes a vibration. No sounds, no lights. But the same terrified feeling.

I don't get scared easily and I believe what I can see. This experience was a horrible feeling. My girlfriend doesn't remember me waking her up, she doesn't remember the vibration, nothing...

I'd also like to add that I did not visually see anything. Something was watching us.

Duration: 31 minutes
No of observers: 3

Location: Groveland, FL, USA

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

We were traveling west on FL State Road 50 at about 60mph through Lake County Florida on Sunday, October 15th 2006. We had just passed through Groveland Fl. This was a very dark portion of the road with no buildings and no artificial light (except for our headlights) At approximately 9:05pm my wife while looking out of the passenger window of our vehicle observed four green lights that appeared to glow in the NE sky. The shape of the lights was oval. They were moving in a synchronized almost choreographed pattern in the shape of a figure eight that was turned on its side. The lights never appeared to touch or converge into one in the center of the pattern. When it looked like they would collide they would suddenly veer away from each other and continue the pattern. I pulled over and exited the vehicle to get a better look. There was absolutely no sound. My wife , daughter and myself watched these lights from the side of the road until 9:15pm, (10 minutes). We then got back into our car and continued on west on Fl SR 50 into Hernando County FL.My wife and daughter continued to observe these lights almost continually until 9:36 PM (trees would intermittently block their view as I drove) At approximately 9:25 PM as we drove, we observed two bright white lights that we attributed to helicopters heading toward the above mentioned green ovals. One was coming from the North and the other from the South. The weather conditions were partly cloudy and according to weather.com visibility was 10 miles. We were returning from a three day stay at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, FL.

A bright White Light seen by 4 teens in 1988

It as about 7:00PM on a summer night in 1988 or 89 (I was 15). Some friends and I were outside playing basket ball and it was just starting to get dark (dusk) when we noticed a white light in the sky. It looked like the sun slightly breaking through some clouds. We joked about it being a UFO and then continued to play ball. About 1-5 minutes later the light was so bright that it instantly lite up the area we were at and we could barely see above us due to the brightness, however I recall seeing a almost saucer type outline. Then just as fast as it happened, it raised into the clouds and shoot off. I could see the light as it faded and it looked like in may have landed sever 100,000 feet away, but I am not sure it landed or just faded. The funny thing was, there was no sound or wind.

1985 GROVELAND, ILLINOIS UFO - FLYING SAUCER

I was about 10 years old and my little sister was about 5. We were watching TV during the summer, at dusk, in my parents bedroom. The bedroom is on the upper level of the house and completely walled with windows. I saw a HUGE SAUCER-SHAPED UFO slowly spinning with red and yellow flashing lights out the window. We sprang off the bed to get a closer look out of the window. It was slowly lowering straight down behind the house and trees on the other side of the small pond in our backyard. It was the same width as the house it was hovering by, so I know it was actually bigger than the house being that it was "landing" behind it in the empty field of what has now been developed into the "Stonegate" subdivision. We were so excited and ran out to the landing to look down into the living room to tell our folks to get up and go see the "flying saucer" outside. But Mom was asleep on the couch and Dad promptly blew us off with a wave of his hand in disbelief. We ran back into the bedroom to keep watching, but the UFO had either landed out of sight or had gone. I've told a few people over the years and my sister has forgotten for the most part I think. It's burned into my memory forever.
