Jupiter Analogue Sighting with Rapid Motion and Brightness Variations

My husband and I both witnessed an object in the sky with 2 bright lights and smaller ones beneath. It stood still for minutes and then shifted swiftly to its left. I then came inside and waited for hours and I looked out and it had moved farther to its left. It stood still and I saw the smaller lig

On the 2nd February 2023 at around 7 :07 PM, I was on my regular brisk walk at my residence and observing and enjoying the sight of 2 shiny bright spots in the sky, which, I knew were Venus and Jupiter- though what made it interesting was they were exactly one below the other in a vertical straight

Testing my phones capabilities of seeing the moons on Jupiter. To my surprise I was able to see them when the sky was perfectly clear, I could capture shots of the shadows of the moons. I noticed the presence of a large, long thin object in all of the photos. I wanted to take pictures the following

We were walking into a restaurant and I noticed what I thought to be planet Jupiter due to the brightness in the sky but then I realized Jupiter was also visible. I used a sky watching app to confirm which light was Jupiter. The witnessed light was stationary and silent, approximately 50 - 60 degree

I was out gazing at Jupiter when in my periphery I noticed another star-like object the same size as Jupiter which shouldn't have been there (abeam and to the left of Jupiter). The object appeared to be slowly moving and was completely silent, and then slowly became smaller and smaller until the whi

I went out to my front porch after putting on a pot of coffee + looked South. Then I looked at Jupiter or Saturn to the West and looked back south + saw an orange/yellow object that was huge and on the Low horizon perhaps 20 degrees above horizon + approximately 160 degrees South of my location. It

I was setting up my telescope when a friend of mine stopped by. He mentioned that he had looked through a telescope but hasn’t ever actually seen anything through one. So I set up the telescope and first focus on Saturn abs have him look. Then I gave him check out Jupiter and it’s different colored

As I was viewing the planet Jupiter at night with a high-power binocular (25x100), a bright cigar-shaped object shot upwards very quickly to the left of Jupiter. Jupiter was at about 45 degrees above the horizon at the moment it happened. I assume that the unidentified object was going up into spac

My wife & I take our dog out at sunset in our yard to enjoy the cool evening air almost every sunset in Prescott Valley, Az. They are so beautiful here. I am an amateur astronomer who has been trying get my wife involved in my hobby with me, I have a 10” reflector telescope a 10x50 binoculars and 1

I may have seen two UFOs this evening over the southern Nevada desert. I live near to the Air Force Nevada Test and Training Range for decades, and am familiar with all types of military aircraft and drones. These observations did not match any aircraft I have observed flying around the area. The ob

Meditative and Contemplative day. Various Religious rites earlier. Looked up to see two very bright lights, Jupiter is very prominent right now and they had that kind of shine. Upon my conscious attention tuning into them one light fizzled out, the other flew straight off into the horizon at about

A few months ago when jupiter was still in the early night sky before venus was again. The two were apperently going to run close together for a period of time. While observing the two for a couple months I watched amazed how jupiter kept getting bigger and bigger. I couldn't believe what i was se

On Sat night, the 8th of June 2019, my wife, myself, & 2 other couples (6 people) were hanging out talking on the back porch of a friend's house. We were talking of how Jupiter was supposed to be so close we could see the moons with a pair of binoculars, so we decided to pull up our skyview apps on

My dogs woke me at early this morning to go outside (barking). I let them out and stood by the open door waiting for them sleepily. I gazed up at the bright beautiful moon and noticed Jupiter lower and toward what would be my right, but then (also lower and what would be my right) there was anoth

I live in Moscow, Idaho, and my house faces west. I went outside my house at approximately 9:10 pm Saturday evening on August 11, 2018. I was walking down the steps of my front porch when I noticed two bright reddish or orangish lights low in the sky to the west. One was where Jupiter is normally

Was viewing Jupiter thru 30 power scope on total station. I saw a bright white light about as bright as Jupiter and tracked it for a while as it headed west to east (heading was about about 90 to 110 degrees). Last seen thru scope angle was 203d 21' 54", elevation 27d 13' 11" (from my location at

It was at this time that I brought the object to my passengers attention. She observed the object for the next couple of minutes, stating in agreeance that the object was not a plane and that is was descending toward the earth at a steady rate. As I reached the Cochiti Exit I noticed that the o

I ran downstairs as my brother was up getting his son ready for school. He and I ran to the window and the unusually large aircraft...long wing span with lights across entire length of wing span. It continued in straight line in direction of Skaneateles, NY. It was not loud. I have looked in new

i went out at 1840 pm to have a smoke and noticed a big bright light in the southwest sky. I first thought it was a aircraft of sometime but it wasnt moving. i watched it for 7-10 minutes and it was stationary in the sky. This light was huge compared to stars and other lights in the sky. I put my

At 5:45 a.m., I went outside to observe the alignment of the 5 naked eye planets. After spotting Jupiter furthest west in the southwest sky, I observed a round object with the same brightness of Jupiter (not as bright as Venus) travelling at a steady but fast rate in front of the background stars.

On April 15, 2015 11:45 P.M. I was working on building a new front porch on my home. It was nearly midnight. I had to work late on my project because I had been exceptionally busy at work. I was cleaning up my tools and debris and carrying them west towards my garage. As I walked I glanced south

A pinpoint of light just below canis minor was slowly engulfed by a small white blurry puff. I pointed it out to my husband. We watched the object move in an accelerating straight line towards Regulus, just under Jupiter. As it moved steadily across the sky, the puff of whitish mist around it ste

On December 1, 2014, at approximately 11:35 p.m., over Naperville, Il 60540. It was located in the eastern sky slightly above Jupiter’s position. My husband and I witnessed an extremely bright, white, blinking light that was far brighter than anything else in the sky. The object was stationary,

A co-worker and I obsevera bright starlight object in the sky east-northeast. It looked like a small but bright pale blue star. My coworker believed it moved. I checked on it from time to time. The last time I checked it was gone. My cowrker used NightSky app and it showed us that Jupiter was

I saw a bright light high in the north east sky. It was white and perfectly round. I could see Jupiter and the constellation of Orien. I know this light was not Sirius or Jupiter. The magnitude was at least double that of Jupiter and at least three times the diameter. As I watched over a period of 1

This evening (7 November 2013), as I was returning to my dorm room, I briefly watched what I believe to be a UFO in the sky. Shortly after 6:30 I was crossing a sports field and returning to the dorm. I turned and looked over my shoulder at the moon and Jupiter (which was a little below the tree l

Saw a light in the eastern part of the sky, tried to zone into the light...as I did the light seemed to get brighter. I have seen it a few early mornings as well. I have also seen it in the sky in the same position last year (east), although last year around this time there were also multiple red

I was standing outside facing northwest looking at the sky when I noticed a very bright object coming into my right lone of site. Thought it a aircraft at first, then maybe Jupiter. I could see jupiter above and behind me so this was not Jupiter. I then watched the object and saw itno navigation

I was showing my grandkids orion and jupiter, when I noticed a star further to the east of Jupiter and more behind my house. We went out back to gaze at it and as I zoomed in on it, it turned out to be a cross with one big light in the middle, four lights horizonal, two on each side of big light a

I was outside walking my dogs and looked up at the south eastern sky around Jupiter, there was a bright blue light (the same color blue as the lights from a police car). It was about 5 inches to the right of Jupiter. It was dim and got really bright and then just blinked out in just a matter of a

At 7:22 PM on the tenth of January 2012, I happened to look out the back sliding glass door (facing West) and saw a stationary, Jupiter-like object at an approximate 45° angle that after 5-6 seconds of observation seemed to "shrink" down and disappear. I called the hotline 10-15 minutes later and

My wife was coming home from the store when she called me on the phone and told me to go outside to look at something she saw in the sky as she was pulling in the driveway. I walked outside and looked up and immediately saw a bright light in the sky. It was at least twice as bright and twice as big

Around 11:30 p.m. Sunday, 12/18/11 I went to lock the garage door and noticed a bright yellow light due west. I watched it for a couple minutes and it didn't look like it was moving. There is an alley behind our house [which in on an exact east/west alignment] and I moved to place telephone wires be

What my girlfriend and I have seen in the Eastern sky defies any rational explanation. We have seen it three times in the last week, and I saw it to the North 10 days ago. It appears to be a planet, but it moves it short streaks and arches. I understand Jupiter is in the east right now, but this th

I was sitting in a plastic chair on a back deck of our motel room, about 200 feet from the Atlantic ocean facing southwest, Sagittarius and Scorpio was directly in front, Scorpio tail and rest of Scorpio to my front right. There were four of us talking and as I talked to two of my family members s

As I was walking to my car from my house to lock it up for the night, I glanced back to the east-southeast direction. I noticed it was a very clear night, and saw what I thought to be Jupiter, simply because it was the most prominent object in the sky. I glanced at it for a second or two, then pro

As I went outside to walk to my mail box I looked up and noticed the planet Jupiter high over head and to the south. I also notice another very bright object slightly to the north of the Planet Jupiter same apparent magnitude and wondered which planet could it be? As I watched the other bright obje

November 14 2010 6:40pm Trenton Florida I was outside looking at Jupiter and noticed planes flying south to north. The planes were spaced about 2 minutes apart and were clearly visible. In the gap between planes I noticed a brightly lit object moving in the same northern direction. This did not a

at 19:28 I went outside at my jobsite to do my security check point at this point i looked directly at the moon and jupiter and to the right of jupiter were 2 lights that dimmed and vanished the duration of the sighting was 20 seconds the 2 objects were just a little bit dimmer than jupiter my quest

I stopped my bike to watch and my heart began to race as I realized they were not airplanes. I have lived in this city my whole life and am very keenly aware of the flight paths over the city, as well as the movement of lights emitted from airplanes. These two lights were very far away, extremely br

Walking to my car on my way to a Mason meeting (meaning sober) I sighted something directly overhead on a bearing of 220 ne-sw. At first glance I thought it was Jupiter between two stars then I remembered Jupiter was in the east right now. I stared at it and realized it was moving, rather slowly,

Me and my wife walk in the mornings before the sun comes up almost every day of the week. It was a clear sky so we were admiring Jupiter in its bright glory in the western sky when I noticed an object, nearly as bright as Jupiter appear behind Jupiter and move quickly towards the north-east. At t

Thursday, August 26th at 10:10 pm my wife and I were outside smoking a cigarette when out of the North West horizon came a single bright, white light about the size of Jupiter moving South East that was not blinking and was dead silent. It took approximately one minute for it to reach from one side

It faded in and out multiple times, then at 0:00 it stayed bright but is slowly rising upwards, we looked at it through a scope off of a gun and seen that it had yellow, red, green, blue the main object is circular/ovalish, with spikes

I was showing my wife the moon through my telescope at about 9:00pm. The moon was located in the south,venus was setting to the west. Showed her venus through the telescope. Above venus was another "star" which although rather high in the sky i thought could have been Jupiter. When i found the

I was exiting my car at the shopping center parking lot where I work, and I look up at the sky as usual to look at the stars and such. I was facing south when the star like object appeared out of the clouds about south south west, it then flew over me, no sound, I grabbed my binoculars to get a clos

We live on the 27th floor of a highrise condominium building. From my lanai (balcony), I saw an unusually bright, very colorful; pulsating light (noticeably brighter than the brightest star or planet in the normal night sky) above the horizon and between two buildings. I rushed for my Sanyo Xacti

While walking down the dirt road 100 yards from my driveway in a southbound direction with my daughter and her friend, joking with me saying “Look! That’s the brightest star in the sky!” After I glanced up and told her it wasn’t a star, it was Jupiter, I looked back down at the road; seconds later,

I walked outside with someone at 11pm, when we started to look up at the sky since it was a completly clear night, and there was a full moon out. We looked out to the north when the other person noticed a glowing red object moving across the sky from the north to the south. The object can best be

As my husband was positioning his telesccope, I notice an dull looking rectangular object block out the starfield as it moved slowly across the night sky. This object made no sound, nor did it have any running lights. After watching it slowly cross our night sky for a second or two, I asked my hu

At 9:36pm PDT on 05-06-09, I was on the front porch having a smoke. I then saw a very rapidly moving light, colored pinkish white, having an estimated magnitude of -6 to -8 on the stellar intensity scale, an altitude of less than 1 mile (there were stratus clouds at the time; this would have obscur

at aproximately 19:48 I SAW AN OBJECT THE SIZE OF JUPITER( THAT WAS WAS VISABLE IN THE WESTERN SKY) COME OUT OF THE SOUTHERN SKY AND PROCEED NORTH AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED, AND MAKE TWO OR THREE QUICK JOGS TO THE EAST AND THEN WEST AND THEN CONTINUE NORTH, DISAPEARING EITHER BEHIND A CLOUD OR GO

At exactly 2000 eastern standard time from my home near 077W32'10"and 35N53'48"; I witnessed a bright white light through my binoculars approximately 1.5 times the size of the planet Jupiter, traveling north, north east from an area southwest of the constellation of Sagittarius and the planet Jupite

I WENT OUTSIDE TO CHECK OUT PLANETS TO SEE IF I COULD SET UP MY TELESCOPE AND FOUND THE MOON WAS TOO BRIGHT.JUPITER WAS IN PLAIN SIGHT.MY WIFE AND A NEIGHBER JOINED ME IN THE DRIVEWAY. NEXT I SPOTTED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A SATELITE BUT IT APPEARED AS BRIGHT AS JUPITER AND MOVING WEST TO EAST.IT ALSO P

Last night at around 2320, when I was lying on the bed, I saw an object at the SSE direction outside the window. It is quite far away, and high up, so the actual shape is not seen clearly. I think it should be at least 5000 feet awya, but I am not such as I do not have a scale to estimate. Then I wa

As I left to go to the store, I noticed an extremely bright light at 1030 on the western horizon. At first, I thought it might be Jupiter, but it was in the wrong place and even brighter. The more I gazed intently, the more it seemed like two very intense lights side by side very high in the sky.

bright star-like light appeared during twilight 3.5 degrees W of Jupiter, and at the same elevation angle above horizon (approx 30 degrees), about 1-2 magnitudes fainter, starting at about 20:20 EDT. Over the next 30 minutes, the "light" moved Westward of Jupiter ~3 degrees (in addition to Earth ro
