Two red dots next to each other over South Charlotte, NC, heading towards Matthews, NC, (East) about 2000 feet?
I was walking my dog just before 7pm when I saw two red lights heading my way from the west. At first I thought it was a plane because I can see flights coming or going from the airport from here everyday in the distance. I'll try to describe best I can.
You know how planes have a light at the end of the each wing... it looked like that ... one on each end, both red, solid, not blinking. It came from my west point of view....(yes, towards the airport kind of.) But the strange thing for me is that their was nothing between the lights? It flew directly above me at about 1500ft no higher than 2000ft at the most heading to Matthews, NC, my Northeast.
I could see in between the two red dots to see stars when it moved across the sky where if it was say a plane you'd see the two red dots then if it crossed a path of the star it would obstruct the few of the star for a second but it didn't. I couldn't hear any engines and it moved somewhat across the sky like a plane would but I had a GOOD look at for at least 30 seconds.
Nothing I've ever seen before and I'm always looking at the stars when walking my dog at night. I was just hoping someone else might have seen this also. I'm not easily floored but it was a weird experience. Any suggestions?
