Bright light object floating in night sky, disappears when another craft comes up
Walked outside to my car, took a moment to look at the stars when I saw a bright round light floating in the sky, passing between other stars. There was no navigation lights or any other type of flashing light attached to this object. There is an airport very close to here, so I know my fair share of what aircraft fly over this area and what they look like at night. The strangest part of all of this is a small drone like craft with blinking navigation lights was coming up behind the object, when it seemed to simply disappear. This is not my first sighting of these objects in this area. Have witnessed close to 5 within the past 9 months.
