Object traveling very fast doing sprials and zig zagging across the sky
Mon Dec 11 2023 06:53:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)The object zig zagged through the sky and then started to get really bright and completed a circle and disappeared.
Saw a bright star zig zagging like a 'z' super quick. Couldn't tell how far away. Had girlfriend look at it and she saw it zig zag.
Mon Oct 09 2023 20:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)When i thought to it 'zig zag' it would immediately do the 'z' shape. When i thought 'up and down' and 'side to side' it did so. Then i had my girlfriend come back over and said the same commands out loud and she saw it react as i specified although it was less dramatic as when i was just thinking.

Light in the sky moved zig zag pattern
Thu Sep 07 2023 06:04:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)It was early morning and very dark. The light in the sky was first observed as it moved from the western sky and was moving east. It looked like it could be a plane as it was about the right height. It looked like it could be a star as it was a single light. It glowed the same color as a star would.
I looked at my ring camera and saw a line shooting very fast across the sky horizontal. It was way to fast to be anything man made and it flew with a zig zag that would not be normal for a shooting star or comet. I have the sighting on video.

I thought I was looking at Cassiopeia with its 'W' shape, then I released that it was a series of lights moving silently across the sky in a straight line, but in a zig zag formation. There was a much brighter light, then two, that appeared to be flying up and down alongside the formation, almost as if they were escorting them. After a couple of minutes they suddenly disappeared, then about five minutes or so later, they suddenly re-appeared back in the spot where I initially saw them, taking the same path I'd watched them take a few minutes earlier. Same bright light, then two, and then they all disappeared exactly the same as the first time. It was as if somebody was replaying it again.

With a group of 5 people star watching in Williams, Arizona. We tracked two satellites and saw two shooting stars, when we noticed directly up above at the height from Earth that a satellite would be, a bright, white orb-shaped object that started out moving similar to the ISS heading south in the sky. We then watched it slowed way down, get brighter and do an odd, jerky zig zag pattern just before completely shooting across the sky like a shooting star heading opposite toward the north and then disappearing out of sight. Ten seconds later it returned coming into view directly above us again and completely stopped for about 10 seconds, then it moved diagonally down toward the tree line and got more dim as it decended until it completely dimmed out about 20 degrees above the horizon. I had no explanation for what it could be. It was speed variable (could go from super fast to stop instantly), it can dim and brighten at will, change directions instantly, no so! und, and the zig zag maneuvers seemed almost like it was blipping in and out of existance in fractions of a second, giving it this weird jerking type of motion. As an experienced star gazer and telescope enthusiast, I have never witnessed anything like it before.

My husband came inside and drew on paper a zig zagged z like form and told me a light was going in those directions. I went outside with him. We were looking up and we say two moving lit up objects, they were going opposite directions. One seemed like it was jumping forward and then disappeared after about 5 forward jumps. The other going the opposite direction went on for a while longer then disappeared. We watched outside in our back yard for another 20 minutes. Nothing. Then we went to our front yard and went on to see 4 more lit objects all going in different directions spaced out about 5-7 minutes apart. 2 of them went a short distance before completely disappearing into thin air.
