About ten minutes ago, Husband in hills behind Brea, between Brea and Chino Hills, spotted in the northwest what looked like something entering the atmosphere. We grabbed binoculars, and it was extremely high altitude, coming in, not going out. Anybody see it? Can probably still spot it further north, as in Pasadena, etc. Grab binocs and look.

3. She know of sites (she mentioned what I think was an airforce base) and has knowledge of other similar phenomena.

Vandenburg. Out here, we ALL know Vandenburg. MOST of us have seen the sky after a launch. It's breathtaking ... the type where you pull over to the side of the road to look.

Driving through WV one night I saw the most amazing multi-colored *something* soaring majestically across the sky.
It almost looked like fireworks, it was so bright and sparkling.
After about 10 seconds, it split into 2 pieces, each with its own separate dazzling, fiery tail.

I have no idea what it was but it was beautiful and I felt lucky to have seen it.

[that's too existential for this thread, isn't it?].....:)

Well it seems some could not see the harmless humor in it.
They were just teasing her.
I guess it depends on a persons mood when they read it.

I am going to bed now, hope you got a laugh from some of the posts (I am sure she saw something in the sky)

I live in the Buena Park area and while I did not see what you you saw tonight I have seen on several occasion for some years some type of aircraft at very extremely high altitude following that path (roughly going from so. west to no. east) an around sunset.... to be honest I always figured it was something going in to that base that isn't there in NV

As you may tell by all the catcalls you get posting this info, it is easy to see why a lot of people do not report seeing strange things in the sky.

Myself, I have seen many suspect things in the night skies while fishing both with and without witnesses. There are things that go bump in the night out there and I just hope it is Uncle Sam's doing...

Otherwise, we may need to bone up on How to Serve Man.

Last summer around 11:30 pm here in Michigan, I was out walking my dog with my brother. I looked up in the sky and noticed what I first thought was squadron of fighter jets in formation. I yelled out to my brother, "LOOK!" pointing up. We then realized that they were not jets, but a formation of shooting stars. They moved across the sky from the west all the way to the eastern sky until they were visually out of site. Occasionally one would get brighter like a flash and burn out as they raced across the sky some gaining and some falling slightly behind. I had never seen anything like that before, and thought it would make the news, but there was no story on it. Here is an illustration I made to show roughly what it looked like.....
