Sudden Bright Flashes and Unidentified Motion

I brought the dog outside this morning and looking to the southeast around 5:30am, I saw a flash of light that looked like a lightning bolt in a perfectly clear sky. But a well-defined flash of light - a zig zag pattern about 6 inches relative to extending your fingers apart to the sky. After the fl

I have spent the past couple years doing my meditation outside and (earthing /grounding to help deal with chronic pain and depression). About a year and a half back i started seeing in the night sky, flashes of light here and there mostly above 45 degrees. Some would but dim flashes some would be q

Walking in neighborhood when at around 9 PM I observed a unique reddish light pulsing (not blinking and not super bright) SSE of me, with no distinct separate lights but seemed more than one singular light, maybe moving slowly or appearing to move slowly because of its trajectory, or maybe it was st

Beginning last nite say approx. 23:45hrs or so as I sat in the River Park Square park, taking in yet another clear, highly visible sky and as it and they go someway, somehow on or in a frequency! that has repeatedly (over the years) pinged me, "Hey Ry?" and always (varied, typically) directing my ga

A bright flash in the sky caught my eyes. I looked and saw a white light silently travelling across the sky from west to east. It was blinking erratically sometimes barely visible and then sometimes flashing very brightly. One particular flash actually left what looked like a relatively-large slight

At around 7:45 pm on 2/3/23, east of the US 95 N going towards Tonopah through Nevada, my mother and I witnessed an unexplainable atmospheric anomaly. The event could be described as a two conscecutive flashes of holographic or iridescent light, similar to the rainbow sheen on a compact disk, but tr

I was driving westbound on Highway 12 about 2 miles from Suisun City in Northern California on 11/12/22. It was about 1:15 PM on a very clear day with some white fluffy clouds. Looking to the Southwest maybe 10 miles away at an estimated elevation maybe less than 2000 feet or maybe 1 finger lengthwi

While walking my dog around 10-11pm in a residential neighborhood, the sky was incredibly clear and stars were bright. Looking South down the road, I could see the usual street light in the far distance. Glancing up, I noticed two bright pulsing balls of light just above the horizon or tree line. At

Sitting on back porch around 2115, on Aug 21, 2022, in Clovis ,California, watching the sky, relaximg as I do most evenings. I see movement and look toward Cassiopeia, which is in the W shape tonight. On the right arm, headiing E to ENE, I see what struck me as a craft. I thought airplane at first,

One clear calm night in August, while sitting in our hot tub behind our house, we observed three random very bright flashes of intense white light accompanied by no sound whatsoever. As we were in a reclining position facing east, we saw the first flash to our left and above the second story deck of

I am a photographer who spends most clear nights capturing the Milky Way. I have over a decade of experience of astrophotography and can easily identify passing satellites which are so numerous these days it’s hard to get a good photo without them. I was taking a long exposure of roughly 13 seconds,

We were inside our house last night and all the sudden all the power went out. It was 11:00 pm, my son and I went outside as our dog was barking. We went outside and noticed there was no power or lights on our city as far as we could see. We were looking up at a totally clear sky and noticed lots an

At 8 pm, while outside enjoying a warm evening, a long-duration (10 seconds) flasher appeared of brightness -6 (brighter than brightest Venus) in the southern sky at 50 deg declination. I refer to these sightings as flashers based on the typically instantaneous flashes of varying brightness that are

Did Impromptu sky watch, 8:15p-8:35p, (3) contacts 1. Very solid blue object, with one bright white flashing light, about 3x brighter than the brightest star in my viewing area. Flashes were about 1 second frequency. Moving faster than commercial jet from E to W, took only about 15 seconds to travel

I was looking at what I thought was the big dipper, noticing the stars flicker as one near the end of the "handle" was brightening and started to flicker red and white like an airplane's nav light so I continued to focus on that stationary I'll say "light". after about 4 seconds the light with no de

During the absence, two planes had crossed in the sky and a bright flash of light like an explosion had appeared with flaming debris falling from that spot but the planes kept moving in their own directions without pause. My daughter arrives home with her boyfriend and I explained to them what I sa

A group of us were camping at succor creek state park in eastern Oregon. We stayed up late to get some Milky Way photographers because it was a dark moonless night. The Milky Way was brilliant! After shooting a few photos I saw a flash in the night sky to the south. It was about 80 degrees alti

As I walked outside, at approximately 05:15am, something caught my eye. When I looked up at the morning sky (still dark, Sun light was rising in the eastern horizon) I saw multible small, dim White Dot Lights (WDL) moving around in a small area. Then, one of those Dot Lights would instantly flash br

While stargazing tonight I observed 11 satellites, 13 meteors and a high altitude formation of two military aircraft. Their course was roughly 090 as hey were likely headed to NAS Oceana. About five minutes later I noticed a bright but small flash south of the Jets course. A moment later, there

Was on back porch trying to get a look at Saturn. Flashing white light came across sky from basically East to West. Did not discern anything other than the light but the light was 5-6 times bigger than the surrounding stars. It was flashing at roughly 1 flash per second. Appeared to be low in sk

Took my dog out for his last night potty run about 10:45 pm tonight. I always look up at the stars at night as it was something Dad and I used to do when I was growing up. He was an engineer, designing early communication satellites, and I know quite a few of his designs are above us, circling the

At 01:45 hrs., I was feeding my horses, I was done with that and went beside my house, I was talking to my niece through her window and noticed a clicking sound coming from a outside automatic light that does not work, it sets almost to the apex of the house, so I was looking directly straight up.

At approximately 21:39 I witnessed a irregular flashing/pulsating point (sources). I was facing north; the location was within two fingers width held at arms length of Deneb ~ 3 or so degrees. (Very roughly I think this was 18 degrees above the horizon---using the same finger approximation). - The

I am a long time “we are not alone”, phenomena observer since my first experience in 1970. On June 3, 2019, just after midnight, I was lying on a lounge chair in my back yard observing stars when a white flash of high intensity light appeared directly above me. Only catching the last glimpse of the

Was outside on back porch. Light caught my attention by flashing bright white, point-source. Flash was brighter than any star or satellite I have seen previously. Light was approximately 80 degrees above the horizon relative to my position. After the initial bright, white flash there were subseq

First of three sightings that I'm reporting. Distinctly different from the second and third sightings in location, type, and duration.

Very faint satellite crossing north to south at hypersonic speed, many times faster than a normal satellite. Powerful flash of light about every 15 seconds. It was going so fast that the flashes of light were an elongated tube of brilliant blue trailing the object with every flash. I watch the s

I was laying down when I noticed a light in the sky from my bedroom's window. I got up and looked more closely to see it, initially assuming this was an airplane with lights on the wings flying at night. This also made sense to me because it was cloudy tonight. The weird thing about it was that

Very early yesterday morning, I was in my back yard, at approximately 0110 Hrs. doing some stargazing. I was looking generally to the north, with large trees to the extreme left and right of my field of view, and a two-story neighbor's house in the center. I had observed several high flying passeng

At approximately 0110 in the morning, Tuesday, 5 June, 2018, I had to let the dog out to do his business. Weather was clear, very slight high haze and a couple of random puffy clouds. While waiting for the dog to finish, I observed several passenger aircraft cross the sky from west to east, very no

At around 10:45 PM CST, I happened to be up yet and noticed a pulsing light in the sky from my bed located mostly in the westward, to slightly north direction halfway above the horizon. What made me look twice and observe for over 15 minutes was that this object was emitting a pulse of light in an

March 3, 12:20 AM EST Was outside smoking my last cigarette for the day, when I noticed multiple flare type flashes almost straight up in the sky. I see planes all the time as I am in between two major "flight paths" coming and going out of Atlanta. The altitude of this "flash" was well above that

I went inside and grabbed binoculars while my neighbor tried to capture it on his Android phone. When I looked at it through the binoculars I realized it was actually two objects! One following the other and both flashing at irregular intervals. After watching them move slowly across the sky, the

We live out in the country on twelve acres with zero light pollution and a great view of the sky. We also have lots of air traffic from the major airports, but they are a good bit away and like many, I know what a jet liner looks like vs. other things. I’m also very familiar with iridium flares an

AT 20:50 to approximately 20:54 mountain time, I looked towards the north sky and a flashing light caught my attention. I proceeded to watch it for about 60 seconds, before I knocked on the window to call my wife outside. Still looking to the north I pointed at the sky to my wife and she started to

Was on back porch having cigarette and letting dog out. Very clear sky this morning, Selfridge Air Base is nearby to east. Detroit Metro Airport traffic usually travels from North West to South. This bright object caught my eye as it was “Lit” for a long duration (5-8 seconds) vs. “normal aircraft

Stepped outside to have a smoke and stargaze on a cold and clear morning. As I'm looking at the brightest stars I see a bright white flash high in the sky not far from a bright star I was looking at. I thought maybe it was a meteor but I kept my eyes focused on the spot I saw the flash. A few sec

Saw the exact same lights high in the sky that I reported on the 9/21/2017, in the same small area of sky. Random white flashes of light of differing intensity in a small patch of sky. The lights did not proceed across the sky as an aircraft would but stayed in the same small circular patch of sky

My dog wanted out and all the dogs in the neighborhood were barking. Saw an orange light, like a roman candle, appear above the west horizon and fade out. Then a bright shooting star. Then a white wisp of light shot across the yard like a ghost. Then to the right of the Milky Way in a dark patc

I Woke up from sleep at 3:30 am and noticed my phone was dead (odd because it was fully charged a few hours ago) I go to the outlet near my bedroom window and happen to look out. It is an east facing window. I saw a bright white light that I pushed off as a star. I went to the kitchen and back and

I witnessed a bright flash in the Northeastern sky, followed by a second bright flash a few seconds later. I was watching for meteors directly above in the Milky Way, since it was a clear night. The flash was so bright, I saw it out of the corner of my eye—a big ball of white light. It immediatel

The night was clear and the sun had set approximately two hours before I observed a reddish-yellow, silent, pulsing and stationary light, high in the night sky and an indeterminate distance away. At first I thought I was observing a plane or helicopter, but quickly decided that was not the case.

I had just arrived home from working the night shift. It was approximately 0410 in the morning. It was windy outside, due to an approaching storm system from the west, but a part of the sky was clear and there were approaching clouds. I decided to stop outside my front door to take a look at the
