Red Light in the Sky with Unknown Motion and Sound

2 lights were noticed together like Mars & a star would usually appear. Larger iron-reddish one to the right. But, I immediately noticed the smaller star, which was to the left, was too close to the larger than Mars is usually seen if Mars were out. So, I found myself keeping watching. Suddenly, the

I saw a very strange thing on the night of 24 Jul 2023 at 2130. I was laying in bed and just happened to open my eyes and saw a red "star" in the sky that was very bright. I instantly thought it was Mars and just looked at it for a second or two before I realized that it was moving towards the Sout

This is a fairly rural area with very little light pollution. The sky was not fully dark yet, about an 1.5 hours after sunset. Looking at the planetary convergence with 10x50 binoculars (laying on car roof for stability) I was checking out Jupiters 3 visible moons. A single dull red light moving at

I get to work early every morning and always take time to stargaze using an astronomy app. Over the last week and a half I've seen three different anomalous lights on three separate occasions. This was the third. It was a bright light, slightly larger and brighter than Mars that appeared to be high

At first, it was just a red dot, I thought maybe mars was brighter than usual, then it started moving quickly and stopping on a dime, changing directions and moving up and down all while changing from red to blue, it stuck around for around an hour moving in an area of about 6 miles or so as if seek

I was in my back yard looking straight west. I saw a very bright light just above the horizon. I thought at first it was a plane considering we live in a fly zone and within 15 min of a large airport and 5 mins from a small airport. I put my thumb over it and closed one eye thinking the light would

Between kids looking into the scope, I looked into the eyepiece to verify that Mars was centered in the view and saw what looked like a satellite pass through the field of view - not too unusual but rare. The little girl asked me "which one are we looking at?" I looked up from the scope to show he

It was way to far away to be any type of conventional aircraft with no blinking lights that moved around the planet Mars very quick before fading away.

I arrived at my construction job site at around 06:45. I dropped off my tools and opened the garage doors to get ready for the day. Since I had a few moments, I stepped outside to feel the morning air, I noticed a fairly bright "Star" to the West of the warehouse where I stood. The "Star" was larger

Time is approximate and is GMT. It was night time and the sky was dark. I was travelling in a car with 2 others, my friend (the driver) and my partner who was in the back seat. I was in the front passenger seat (left seat in English car, and also driving on left side of the motorway). We had been

She popped up and instantly saw what at first to me had looked like a very bright Mars but by the time she got up and was observing it it had doubled in magnitude. You could see all the other stars in the sky around it which had there normal bluish color but this was orange red and it began pulsing

Bright, oval-shaped light. Seemed like a dark shading across horizontal center. Southern sky. 90° from southern horizon. Est 1/8" by 1/4". ? Distance. Non-moving. Didn't think at the time, then later-wait! That was impossible! So don't know how long. Gone 20 min later. Possible sighting of

Last night I saw an unusual "thing" in the sky. It was directly south at the 12:00 position. It caught my eye because it was moving, but not far. It was more like a wobble, changing short positions in the blink of an eye. I got the binoculars out and saw there were several red lights flashing in

I had let my dog out in the yard and spotted a very bright light hovering low in the southeastern sky. It had a reddish white glow and no blinking lights. It never moved during the 15 minutes I watched it. I went back into the house wondering what I had just seen. Probable sighting of Mars? PD

I will do my best to describe. I looked up in the sky around 12:30AM to the South of my home. I saw the moon, then saw what I thought was the planet Mars to the southeast. Orange. As I was simply observing, "it" quickly moved South then East within seconds and disappeared. I went on to my deck t

I was having a fitful sleep as a result of a thunderstorm that was blowing through our city in the middle of the night. At about 3:00 a.m. a bright flash of lightning and a loud thunderclap startled me awake again. Looking out our bedroom window, I could see that most of the storm had passed from

We had checked the sky guide on our smartphone to identify Mars which was on our horizon. Our goal of the evening was to watch the ISS orbit at 22:30 over our area. My daughters excitedly called for me to come see something else in the sky. A circular, red object appeared, seemingly out of nowhe

My boyfriend and I were on vacation and sitting on the balcony overlooking the beach. We were looking at a very bright reddish color star which we found out was Mars via the skyview app. All of the sudden, something appeared in the distance over the ocean close to where we were seeing Mars. It h

We got binoculars and they were in the shape of a triangle and appeared the outline was dots. It was not moving and stayed stationary. All of a sudden, one light faded out and then the other. Didn’t see them anymore as we sit out there for the next couple hours. We saw and heard other aircraft a

Feb 24 at approximately 9:20 pm, my wife and I were walking to the house from an out building. I noticed a red/orange light on the southwest horizon. I thought it could be Mars (not knowing its position this time of year). It was slightly larger than I remember though. I looked at it again, it w

Looking E,SE into the Seattle sky from Magnolia where I reside, I noticed a large red ball which resembled a planet. I took a photo of it because it seemed odd and out of place as I had never seen this before. This was red in color like Mars, but is was not where Mars would have been in the night

My girlfriend and I went outside to walk our dogs in Palm Springs, Ca, and we saw the craziest lights. There were hundreds of lights in the sky that were made to spell "MARS". Each letter seemed to be a quarter mile long and each letter was composed of dozens of individual lights. Each letter also

I had pulled out my camera to take a video successfully until an oncoming vehicle shown it's brights on me. I was able to capture a shakey 30 seconds or so of it as it slowly changed it's course to a more northerly direction and faded into the sky. The entire experience lasted roughly 10 minutes ma

I was taking pictures from my attic window of the southwest view of Saturn, Mars, and Antares which appeared last night in a curved line. I gave the camera some zoom. A major airport lies in that direction. Twice I had to wait for airplanes to exit the frame. In one photo (shutter speed 1 sec),

On August 12, 2016, at about 9 PM Mountain Time, I was sitting in an open patio with a friend in NE Albuquerque. I was gazing up at the night sky during a relatively clear night, with only a few broken clouds north of the city. I noticed a jet airplane flying west, directly over Albuquerque, with

I was working and went to an open door facing south for a cool breeze when I saw the oddest thing ever. Object was on a north/south course headed south. It was traveling away from me. It held a steady speed, straight course and constant altitude. Sky was dark, mostly cloudy but Mars was due sout

Looking to the east we saw the a very bright 2/3 moon (about 45 degrees above horizon) and Mars off to its right. It was not yet completely dark, but almost so; still some weak light in the west. It is important to note that the moon, Mars and only the very brightest of stars were visible at this

Witnessed an object passing slowly and directly above me (90 degrees up the horizon) that moved in a S to SSE direction. This object took about 15 to 20 seconds to pass over then very slowly dimmed out when it was about 45 degrees up the horizon to the S or SSE. It was a solid white, bright objec

It moved from straight overhead to beyond the trees, I ran beyond the trees and looked around in the sky, it was gone, no trace. I felt amazed/surprised at seeing this. I lost sight of it behind the trees and then I ran behind them and looked around in the sky it was gone. About 30 seconds or ab

I was standing outside, smoking a cigarette and looking at the (nearly full) moon. A large tree blocked most of my view of the sky to the left of the moon. Through the tree branches I noticed a very large, bright "star", or so I thought at first. I moved several feet away from the tree to get a b

I was coming out of a hotel beside the city's airport and getting into my car when I seen a bright red star up in the east. I am always looking at the stars being an amateur astronomer kind of guy. It reminded me of Mars but was way too bright. My house at 1300 Mary Street West was only a couple

At around 21:49 on Sunday August 7th, 2014, we were coming from the market and taking the groceries into the house. I looked up into the sky and told my girlfriend "look babe Mars." The object looked like a star, but since it was red I believed it was Mars. Then it started glowing orange also, wh

A single reddish object that looked very much like Mars. I knew Mars was further East in the sky. The object was about 40 - 50 degrees above the horizon about 10 degrees East/south of the Big Dipper. Object stationary for 15 seconds then began to rise as it moved slowly Eastward. This object was

I have been a skywatcher and UFO researcher my entire life. I know where most (wandering stars) planets are and a decent amount about where the constellations are. Look… You know when you have seen one. There is no question. Something lets you know that this moment is different from everything e

MONDAY, I BEGAN A MUCH ANTICIPATED 3 NIGHT TRIP WITH MY SISTER AND HER DAUGHTER TO GREENBO STATE RESORT PARK. I RETURNED YESTERDAY (THURSDAY). THE FIRST NIGHT I WAS ON THE BACK BALCONY JUST WATCHING THE SKY AND NOTED HOW BRIGHT THE MOON WAS THIS NIGHT. THE OTHER TWO CAME OUT AND WE WERE DISCUSSING

At around three AM I had gone outside for a smoke (tobacco) and looked up toward Mars as it is so bright at this time and noticed what appeared to be a red light a very short distance from the surface at roughly a 2 o'clock position. I am not into astronomy but only as a curiosity so I had check a

At approximately 8:30 pm (04/19/14), I was sighting my telescope in on the planet mars. The sun had set behind me (to the west) but the sky was still to bright to see anything in that direction, thus I was looking easterly. At the time I was looking through a 40 mm lenses and using an 80mm telesco

A red orb that I first mistook for Mars appeared directly over head. it seemed to be mars, but I knew mars was not in that part of the sky. I watched it move very slowly and I actually had to find a stationary object in the foreground to verify its movement and direction. I assumed it to be a ver

was just getting out of seeing a play a the Pullman Civic Theater and looked at the full moon. Just below and to the right of the moon was what appeared to be a planet (was stationary) and red. I asked my wife to get out a look at what I though was Mars. Object/light was stationary. I asked my

It was around 12 that night that I had left a friends house and walked down the street to wait for a ride. Minutes later I noticed a small red/orange glowing orb or sphere in the sky up high and off the horizon. I was surprised by this due to the fact that it was not a clear night, but instead one

At about 7:45pm I arrived at a house in Redwood Valley from Ukiah and was admiring how clear the night was and how many stars there were with a friend. I didn’t notice it at first, but all of a sudden I saw a very large red/orange light. At first I thought maybe it was Mars, since I somewhat rem

the night of Feb 3rd 2013 after watching the super bowl (alone did not have anything to drink) I was leaving my apartment to go to my office and get a file for an appointment I had the next morning. As I am leaving the driveway I see a large red light in the sky to the south east. I think to myself

I was looking into the southwestern sky in the late evening. The sky was clear. I had been looking for aircraft in that area. I saw what at first appeared to be a reddish star or Mars, but then realized the stars were not in the right place for that to be the case. The reddish star faded out and I

We were looking through a telescope at mars and a white light passed just above mars. At first we thought it was a satallite. As it got further away it slowed and eventually stopped moving altogether. I've seen satellites before and I've never seen one do what this object did. Witness elects to r

I observed a single bright red light, slightly larger than a standard bright star, in the eastern night sky at approximately 9:45pm Pacific Standard Time on Thursday, August 18, 2011. At first I thought the light might have been an exceptionally clear and bright Mars, but I realized quickly that t

Last night, August 1, 2011 at about quarter of 1 AM, as I was pointing out the constellations to a friend's younger brothers, I noticed a very strange object appear in the sky to the left of Mars in the west.

My girlfriend and I were walking outside, around 11pm at night. Usually when she leaves my home she we’re outside talking for a few minutes before she leaves.
