I went outside tonight around 08:15 PM PDT And looked to the North/Northeast and noticed a bright orange object coming in from that direction to the SW and curving slightly towards South. It was moving pretty fast and didn't have a tail and I didn't think much of it as I see a lot of aircraft in this area heading towards the local airstrip in Carlsbad or further south towards San Diego.
It did not have a tail/trail, and was not on a path typical of shooting star nor orbital debris. After about 30 seconds of my noticing it the object went fully dark and was no longer observable.
Just wondering if anyone else had observed this interesting phenomenon and although I am typically loathe to post anything such as this, it did pique my curiosity.
Nope, and have never indulged in such. :)
I’ve never seen a UFO.. but did see 2 shooting stars one night like 3 hrs apart..
It didn’t seem to be in orbit, but I suppose that could be a possible explanation.
So did you check your watch afterwards to see you if you have any missing time? Have you developed any strange pain or marks in your nether regions? If you have suddenly gotten a strange longing to watch the girl alien from the movie series, “Species”...get help, fast!
Painful as a Freeper alien probe...hee hee!
It’s possible, but I’ve seen space junk fall back into the atmosphere and it didn’t look like such at all, but I’ve never seen anything like this so that is a distinct possibility.
I think Ansel’s 39 explains it.

It’s just getting started.
Have you ever seen an un-interesting UFO ?
Iridium satellite flare...
It was just Giorgio phoning home.....
Watch your corn hole, bud.
I have indeed observed such a thing, and even (like you) posted my experience on FB. Our FB colleagues set me straight: it was a Chinese lantern. 3 dollars to buy, max.
Naw, sounds like either MD2020 but there is a possibility it could be Boones Farm.
I for one welcome our new overlords.
Hail Odin!
Boone’s Farm.... I haven’t drank that since I was in Basic Training in 83 :)
Chinese lanterns is exactly what I thought. Those things are pretty neat.
