a little after midnight i went outside and noticed big trails in the sky they were all over never seen anything like it before i thought maybe it was n airplane that passed over or quiet a few of them, i found it strange so i walked further outside and noticed what looked like a bunch of shooting stars. but what was different was the sky was pitch black with no stars and these objects were shooting across the sky making sharp turns and disappearing in the same spot. there was 6 or 7 at a time shooting out from the same spot. i noticed 3 what i thought were really bright stars in a perfect distance from eachother in a triangle form n these objects were disappearing right in the middle of it... then i noticed other objects coming from a different direction with lights flashing they were the distance of an airplane in the sky so i got a better look they were circle shaped i noticed a red glow to them. they were just close enough to know it was not a star but far enough away not to see it completly.. they would hover for a few minutes and take off. this lasted for hours i seriously felt like i was in the twilight zone like i wasn't really seeing this. but that was just the first night. i always sit outside now and watch the sky when i can hoping to see another and i have been seeing a lot of stuff on a regular basis. but i notice i see them more when the thunderstorms are close by. i have seen a bright orange disc shape appear shoot across the sky turn and disappear. i have only seen that twice.. ive watched them follow a couple of the airplanes going over my house. i'm just very curious to what is going on up there?????? but definetly enjoying the view. its amazing seeing something beyond the stars.
