Unidentified; Inside America was on TV tonight, History channel. It’s a series so you can catch the next episodes. While you are waiting for “are you logged on?” answers , do a DuckDuckGo search for info on the program.

Aircraft with take off/landing lights on.

When in Savannah, my astronomy club would would go out to the beach for programs out on the pier. If you looked south, you could see the planes taking off from Jacksonville, about 120 miles south. They would disappear about 5 minutes after they got over the horizon, then about 20 minutes later, they would fly over.

Could also be sounding balloons catching the last of the sunlight at high altitude.
Fairly common.

About 10 years ago, I was getting ready for work at 4:30 in the morning. Went outside onto my patio while sipping a cup of coffee, looked up into the sky and spotted what I thought was Venus. This is a very rural area. After a moment or so the stationary bright star like object suddenly darted to the right at high speed and disappeared behind the roof line of my house. It wasn’t Venus.

I read that pilots have seen strange objects too.

Interesting.

People are guessing, but don’t know.

If anyone actually knows, they aren’t saying.

If you can give me an exact time, I may be able to give you a satellite name. I set my Sky Safari program for Dallas

What color were the lights? If they were orange, I think I know what they were.

Though only low orbit satellites you should be able to see.
