Don't worry, we got it. Thank you for reporting.

Probably a military craft.

I just can’t schpell...

Your story is not convincing. Strained neck? You leave and post because of a strained neck? Is it still there? Got a camera?

I was checking out the eye of God for a while but I got tired. LOL!

Sorry... just nustin yur chops.

I spent alot of my younger years reading things and watching the skies at night.

MOST PEOPLE are not professional sky watchers. By professional, I mean meteorologists, atmospheric scientists, aviators, that sort of thing.

MOST PEOPLE will, sometime during their lives, see very convincing evidence of something they cannot explain.

And I would have to agree with the various assesments that say 98% of these incidents are nothing unusual or extraterrestrial, just something the observer is not familiar with.

That still leaves the two percent that are unexplained.

When you tell me you saw something, I say that’s unusual, hope you figure it out...

If a pilot with 20,000 hours says he saw something I really, really start to wonder!!!

Don’t let ‘em abduct you, whatever you do. They always do that “anal probe” thing.

I know exactly what you’re talking about. It’s been there for years, at least in my area. It never varies like other stars and planets, it always rises in the same spot 24/7. There’s another like it in the east, and it’s NOT Serias (the star)

It weaves and bobs, brightens and flares, and pretends it belongs there. Sometimes it seems to come in closer and sometimes it seems to back off but stays in the same relative area. I’ve tried to view it through a cheap telescope but all you could see was a weaving, bobbing, sparkling (throbbing it seems..each throb a different color) and I couldn’t make anything out of it. Same with good binoculars.

I don’t know what it is, but it’s just there and has been for at least 20 years or so. No seasonal changes...has to be man made.

I’m really glad you mentioned it though.

I fired up my Starry Night with Phoenix as location, and I did notice a very bright and slow moving satellite, identified as RESURS-DK1, moving from W to SW. disappearing just S of SW at 10:34 this evening at about 21 deg. altitude.

I Believe, here is why.

I’ve seen and experienced some heavy “UFO” type stuff and used to talk about it. My friends thought I was crazy - they’re not my friends anymore by their choice. That was when I was younger and having friends was more important. I decided not to talk about specific things casually ever again.

My wife believes me, and I’ve put it all into perspective. There are plenty of things in the Universe and in our own minds we may never understand.

I do think it’s unfair how a “pilot” is deemed qualified as an observer of the sky, but a sailor, sniper, hunter, fisherman, etc. just never seems to be “credible.”

I saw something - coming over the Horizon. It was horrible, it smelled bad. Everything it touched was corrupted. People who touched it became Zombies - illogical and without morals.

It bleated sounds like it was friendly and like it would be good for the world. But everything that touched it went bad.

It was the Liberal/Progressive Hoard. Aiiieeee!

My sister, I, and some friends saw so many definite UFOs when teenagers that I remember once spotting one and my sister said something to the effect of "so what, who cares". She had become bored by them. We use to flash our car lights at them to get their attention and try to communicate with them. If I remember right, as it has been many years ago, they also seemed to flash lights back at us as if to acknowledge seeing out attempts at communicating with them. They moved backwards, and forwards and stood still, could fly and disappear in a flash and apparently turn off their lights and seem to simply disappear. They fairly often were in groups and also often seemed to become one from several, linking up with each other, or coming off from another, so as to appear like one becoming two.

They even came close, and were amazing to look at. One, my sister and friend saw right over them, was like looking up into a faceted huge crystal. They thought it might swallow them up, but it didn't do anything to them. The one that I saw close was a huge triangle with colored lights going through tubes and lighting up globes at each tip. I ran after it, clapping my hands to try to get it to notice me. I actually thought it would be cool to board it. It apparently noticed me, and though it was hovering, it suddenly took off. I watched it fly faster than I could imagine and disappeared in the distance in just a flash of time, much, much faster than anything known that man had invented. It than came back, as if to take another look, and then left again. I think, maybe, it was taken back at the little, she person actually running towards it, through the corn field, trying to get it's attention.

I think that they were the ships of demons and possibly at times, angels. I was saved when I was 19. For some reason, God allowed us to view the ships of demons and angels, likely in some sort of way, contesting over our souls. He wanted us to see them, or we would not have. I think, if we had not seen them, I being such a skeptic, probably would not believe that there were such things.

I was maybe 18 when I never saw one again, unto this time.

I know exactly what it was. It was a UFO.

Unidentified Flying Object

Swamp gas?

We experienced a coronal mass ejection over the last 24 hours which compressed the earths magnetosphere below the level of geosynchronous satelites. It is still ongoing but diminishing. It exposed them to increased solar and cosmic radiation and may have played a role in what you were seeing. Something akin to ripples of heat rising off of hot pavement causing a distortion of objects viewed in the distance. I have no clue but that’s my theory.
