Two triangle shaped craft spotted trailing plane on Christmas eve I saw two triangle shaped craft trailing an aircraft. There were 5 lights in the shape of a triangle along the bottom. They both made a 45 degree turn and disappeared into clouds.

slowly flying sphere had alternating blinking lights A disk/saucer type object was slowly flying through the sky - over the neighborhood. Keep in mind that planes do not fly over this area especially not that close to the ground. It was still very high in the sky, but close enough for me to really see the shape.
This does not happen during the night with planes at all. I only noticed it because of blinking lights I could see through my curtains. I opened them up to get a better look.
the sphere had alternating blinking lights. back and forth from white and red. It was heading east.

Space crafts were flying in a straight line in the distance, disappearing above one by one. Several planes were seen flying toward it.

Eight light objects appeared in a perfectly straight line, 45 degrees off the horizon We saw a perfectly straight line of 8 bright lights in a 45 degree angle off the ground. Each of the crafts was perfectly spaced from the next. After watching and acknowledging it (verbally) they began to separate, again at perfectly even interval distances.
The one highest up then shot off and, in order, they sequentially shot off and disappeared. We thought maybe they were planes, but they hovered in place perfectly for way too long to be a plane and were very bright (we initially thought they were stars). They also moved much too quickly to be any known man-powered craft.
We also used a constellation app on the phone to try to determine if it was a constellation, but the app was unable to detect any major stars or planets where the anomaly appeared in the sky. This may or may not be associated, but a flock of geese began honking erratically and several dogs started barking at the same time we noticed these anomalies.

I was heading west on US20 and saw while driving I stopped to see a string of 6 lights heading into space horizontally in formation then they disappeared.

8 family members of mine witnessed 8 or 9 lights in alignment going diagonally then dissapeared one at a time. I wonder if it were the starlink satellites.

I saw a line of lights going across the sky in single file heading in the same direction. once they got to a certain spot they would disappear and more would come from behind. There was no sound and it was hard to tell how high they were but I would guess a few thousand feet off the ground.
There were no clouds in the sky so I don't know why the lights would disappear and they got to a certain point in the sky. I'm just wondering if anyone else in the area seeing the same thing.

8 lights Looking West 3 lights in a row moving slow every minute or so another one shows up until there is 8 in a row straight moving North east then all 8 dimmed out same time than gone.

Just west of Jupiter an orb shot up and to the left. It was floating. Another one popped up and floated the same direction.
This happen 6 times.They were never in the same location so it wasn't a repeat item. I ran in got my binoculars and spotted 12 more.
I could follow the round orb across the sky with my binoculars. They were never in the same area nor the same angle of flight. I know what satelights are and these were not satelights.
They were to big and to fast. They flew just above jupiter lower right to upper left. I ran in got my phone and tried to record a bunch more.
I video taped for 20 minutes. I dont know if you can see them? The video isn't that good. It was amazing.
Hair on my whole body stood up. Wow! Is all I can say.

Less then a year ago I heard (felt,perceived), for lack of a better term something outside my bedroom in Georgetown Indiana. I looked outside to see three saucer (dinner plate) sized UFOs hoovering about a foot off the deck.they were moving in a spinning motion it seemed ,though they spun at a rate in which its hard to say spinning with accuracy.
The one in the middle was slightly larger and had a very soft glow, luminance and the outside rim was flipping up and down intermittently, but there was no noticeable hinge or break in its solid form.my first thought was I wasn't seeing this and I looked away,on second glance I looked away and rubbed my knuckles into my eyes to "clear" them.on third glance I thought if these are moving then they must be displacing air.
there was a weird distortion around them similar to heat rising from a road, but this was night and I only noticed this distorted air around these three objects, the larger one being in the middle with the other two on each side of it.only the one in the middle had a noticeable luminous glow.there were leaves on the deck approximately a foot under them, and mere inches below the distortion.
My thought was they would be moving with these objects moving above them but they were absolutely still.i feel I must say that sometimes I am more brave then smart.if I believe people or animals to have been on the property I would investigate, sometimes running flat out to the potential threat to my home, family or pets.
I had an unexplainable dread,a terror wash over me and I backed myself out of the room trembling. I was stuttering and stammering unable to take my eyes from the bedroom door as I tried to speak when my fiance took note of my behavior and asked what was wrong in a concerned tone .i had an image that kept playing over and over in my mind that also is inexplicable.
That image was of a snow owl with spread wings flying towards me over a snow covered area. im not scared of owls .has anyone had a similar experience.

I was driving down Arlington Road, heading towards Ellettsville from the North side of Bloomington. I noticed a helicopter flying semi-low and thought that was odd for that area but ignored the oddness. I then looked to the right side of the sky and saw the large sphere/ball in the sky.
It wasn't moving, just holding it's position in the sky. I noticed that helicopter I saw was flying AWAY from this craft. It was a large silver/chrome ball and I only saw it because the sun was reflecting off of it like crazy! I tried to grab my phone and it totally vanished.
Cloaking or some kind of invisibility as it didn't move at all. Once I got pulled over, I noticed other planes in an odd area (not a normal fly zone, never see planes around here, no hospitals or helicopter pads, no airport, etc.) and it was so high up I could barely see the dark colored plane.
Didn't see the silver sphere after that.

I believe I am encountering what would be considered acient aliens or aka "watchers" At our local sawmill,I took a picture of what seems to be a spacecraft.I don't know exactly when it got here but it was a foggy day & I could see it's shape,it is invisible to the naked eye.I am somewhat clairvoyant & can see it stuck in the ground as if it has crashed & is stuck standing straight up from the ground.
Since January there has been images appearing in the grass,on walls,concrete floors & my pets fur that look like ancient watchers & people's faces.Nothing but evil & bad luck has happened since I noticed these things,as well as lights in my household flicker off & on,get really bright &drones seem to randomly appear.This takes place not only in my town,but the surrounding towns & counties as well.
There has been plague type occurances such as whirlwinds of bugs that looks like snow through my security cameras,lice,bedbugs & sometimes it feels like something is crawling in my hair & I notice people around me itching.I also see what appears to be he! irogliphic & Egyptian writings along with hearing voices that pertain to Ra or Amun Ra.I have several images of these watchers,beings or whatever they are along with video that show greyish black shadows or fog like images moving across my security camera screens.
To conclude,I was told by a past room mate that stayed in my home to look up "ancient aliens" & this would explain what is taking place so this proves that others know what is here.

We saw and object in the Sky south of Lizton, Indiana, time 18:50 , looked like two frisbee stacked on top of each other. I plus 3 others were traveling north on state road 39, time was 18:50. I noticed a bright light out my drivers side window, it was very bright, I could see a small plane to the south of the light thing, but this was keeping pace with my car, a truck and one other car.
It looked like two frisbees one on top of the other, I reached for my cell phone to take a photo and when I looked up, the object thing was maybe half as bright, I started to open my camera app and it was gone. All three of us pulled over and got out of our cars and couldn’t see it anymore.
