I filmed a white comet shaped object moving very slowly in the sky. This is the 2nd time I’ve seen one. I also filmed 2 at the same time on 9/4/2022 at 8:10 pm over I-80 in Nebraska. They were a bright white light with a short tail, the end of which flickered like a flame. They appeared as though they should be moving extremely fast but we’re moving very slowly. Like a barely moving comet. There were not lights on the object. The object looked like light itself. Kinda like a white fiery comet but moved slower than a helicopter and in a straight line. I have the videos but don’t agree to give away the rights, so I won’t be attaching them at this time. I’m attaching just a picture from one of the videos, for reference. I’m hoping you know what it is and can tell me.

We observed a comet about 10 minutes before. We were fishing by the boat launch opening and looked up and say a line of lights. The lights were pulsing around the saucer. The saucer was angled and on the left side of the opening of the trees. It floated all the way to the right sight of the opening above the trees, straightened out, dimmed the lights, and shot off.

My husband and I were driving North on I-90 towards Billings. We were right outside of town and I saw a teardrop shap in the sky. It was big. I thought, at first, it was the moon but it seemed to be moving slightly. We pulled over the car and I snapped pictures and some video with my phone. We thought it might be the Neowise comet since it was in the Northwest but eveeything we read said that we would not have been able to see that with the naked eye. We didn't stay. We went on to our hotel but when we tried to see it from there, it was gone. We thought maybe there was too much light at the hotel but we saw this right above the street lights so that wasn't the problem. We have looked on subsequent nights and seen nothing more.

My wife, mother in law, and two friends were on my pontoon boat on the Great Sacandaga Lake in Mayfield, New York. It was 20:00 on 7/15/20 and we were anchored just off Beacon island on the south end of the lake. My mother in law said, “What is that in the sky?” Just seconds after discussion of the comet that was supposed to be visible that night. We all looked up and saw a white cylindrical object high in the sky. I am a private pilot and I would estimate the object to be around 20,000ft to 30,000ft or possibly even higher in the sky. It appeared to be above the cirrus clouds. The sky was blue except for a few clouds. The object did not move at all and stayed in the same exact spot for about thirty minutes. It was eventually obstructed by cirrus clouds as they moved under the object. We attempted to take photos of the object but none of the photos came out clear enough. I wondered if it was a star or planet, however the sun was not set yet and there! were no other objects or stars anywhere else in the sky. This object looked very much out of place. I questioned if it was a weather balloon but like I stated above, the object never moved from this spot. It never appeared larger or smaller as if it was ascending or descending. It stayed completely still and the size did not appear to change. It was white in color, assuming it was reflecting sunlight and we were unable to properly identify the color. Several hours later, my friend sent me a screenshot of the object that someone took in Johnstown, NY. About 15 minutes south of our position. This picture was much more clear than our blurry photos and the object looked more like and unidentified flying object. Not just a weather balloon. This object did not make any noise. All photos will be sent via email. The photos took from my boat were taken at 20:03. I do not have a time the photos were taken from Johnstown, however is was roughly the same timeframe.
