Multiple objects observed over several hours
My fiancé and I were on our back deck before bed talking about our week. We lit a candle because the fluorescent bar light annoys me and seemed too bright for that late as. As we talked, the candle seemed to be in the wind, the flames were dancing about. I thought that odd because I felt no wind standing next to the candle. I also realized that the 50+ year old trees that surround our yard were moving in the wind. Some of the trees are over 70 feet tall – seemed like the wind was just above the rooftops.
I started noticing the Stargate satellites. The sky was clear, and they were quite visible. My fiancé’ said he usually cannot see stars, satellites, etc. – his distance vision is not great. We looked toward the front yard over the roof and he said, “But I can see THAT one.”
I told him I thought it was a plane, it was too large/bright to be a star. As we watched it, it moved. The movements were slight but noticeable. It moved horizontally and vertically. We watched for a few minutes, and I decided to get my camera. I went to the front yard to get a better view.
There is a streetlight on the neighbor’s side of our driveway. The first pictures I took didn’t seem to capture what I was seeing very well because of the light. I walked down the street and took more photos.
There are details in the photos that we could not see just observing from the deck. In the photos the object is a ring of lighted dots that change color. Then they changed to a solid color-shifting circle, then they shift back to the ring of lighted color changing dots. Some of the pictures were taken with the iPhone LIVE view, so the changes are easily seen in those few seconds.
The object was still in the sky when we went inside Our dogs woke me a couple of hours later, so I let them out and looked up. Then I got my fiancé out of bed too. From our deck we saw the object, but more directly above but over our neighbor’s house. I grabbed my camera, zoomed in and saw a second object just like the first. I took some pictures and in those we could see a third object that was not visible to us but shows in the photo. It is the same as the others, but fainter, like it was higher up,
After taking those photos we looked around and realized that there were more of them – I counted at least seven. Some of these objects had small white flashes/sparkles [like when you ‘see stars’] that randomly appeared one or two at a time. These flashes seemed to have not pattern, but after watching for a few minutes, they were appearing in a circle around the bright object. I did not observe long enough to see if all the objects had this happening.
The video taken while in the front yard was about 115 a.m. The other 4 photos submitted were taken about 345 a.m. I was messing with the camera settings to get a better picture, and finally got it set to night mode. The two lighter photos are the same area of the sky as the dark one, just a different camera mode.
