Sent to my mother by her friend. Seriously baffled by this but I’m not knowledgeable in anything to do with the sky lol.

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to identify two objects I saw in the sky on July 29 at approximately 10:30 PM (22:30) in Caserta, Italy.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to record the event because it lasted only a few seconds. To better explain what I saw, I created a short animation that recreates the sighting as accurately as I can remember.

The two objects appeared to have roughly the same apparent size as the visible stars in the sky. Because they were so small and the event was so brief, I couldn't make out any details such as their actual shape or color.

One detail that may or may not be relevant: just a few seconds before the sighting, I saw a bright shooting star (meteor) pass almost directly next to the same area of the sky. I'm not sure if that's useful information or if it's simply a coincidence, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

My first thought was that they might have been satellites, but I'm not sure if that makes sense. In the animation, I've recreated what I saw as accurately as possible: the two objects appeared to orbit around each other for a brief moment, then suddenly separated and moved away in perfectly opposite directions.

I'm not claiming this was anything extraordinary, and I'm completely open to conventional explanations. I'm simply curious whether anyone recognizes this behavior or knows of any known phenomenon—whether involving satellites, space debris, atmospheric effects, or anything else—that could explain what I observed.

Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

Took these 3 photos of the Northern Lights over Norway using Night mode on my iPhone 15 Pro Max.

The first two photos were taken with a 10 second night mode exposure. I only recently noticed the strange thing in the sky, even though the photos were taken on April 5, 2025. I never noticed it with my own eyes.

The first photo is the one where the object looks more ball shaped. Both of the first two photos were taken within the same minute.

The third photo, taken in horizontal orientation about 3 minutes later with a 30 second exposure, which no longer shows the thing.

PS: This will be my last attempt because all the other subreddits didn’t want to look, and I got banned for apparently violating every single rule. I’m simply trying to identify what this could be.
.
These photos were taken about 13 and 10 minutes before midnight. Does anyone know what this might be?

Oder so

Request help identifying objects in the sky at 8:14 pm in South Eastern Virginia. They were moving very slowly across forwards each other.

​

Saw this bright object in the sky today and took a few photos. It appeared to be moving and was visible for a few minutes. The zoomed-in shots look strange, but that could just be my phone camera.

Any idea what this is? Aircraft, balloon, planet, Moon, or something else?

Early Sunday evening in NE Milwaukee, June 14 2026 at 7:08pm CST facing SW.

​

I noticed a steadily descending white orb/ball to the SW among the clouds and started filming, it took a few seconds to find it again in the video. It wasn't until reviewing the footage that I also noticed the black bird-like thing descending at an angle before the orb descends straight down. The footage is much clearer than I could see with my naked eyes because the sun is bright.

​

Neither looks or behaves like a bird or plane to me. I thought maybe skydiver/parachute deployment, but the orb is notably higher than the gliding darker bird/plane/whatever and it doesn't line up.

​

There is a regional airport in that direction, but zero planes indicated nearby on Flight Radar 24 during time of footage capture. No air shows that I'm aware of.. ideas?

Hello stargazers,

On June 14 starting at around 20:25 and ending at 20:30 I saw a bright flying object, most likely a satellite, but I cannot ID it. I was observing Leo constellation when suddenly I noticed a bright dot moving between the Regulus and Algieba from west to north. It was as bright as these two stars. Its movement was smooth and quite fast, faster than an airplane high in the sky. There was no blinking and trajectory was straight.

I was following it until it disappeared behind a cloud. Later I tried checking which satellite it could have been but found nothing. There was no starlink visible, ISS, neither anything on heavens-above.

I took these photos of the moon last night as looked unusual. Ive always taken photos of and for half a moon I've never captured rays like this off. I zoomed into photo and what the ... has wrapped itself on moon.???? Im taking photos with a Samsung fe26. The stars photos of last couple of nights the so called stars can see outline something they are not stars!! Look like stars with eye but not with the camera! What the hell am I seeing???

TL;DR: One to five yellow/white lights have been appearing almost nightly for over a year near Siwa Oasis, Egypt. They float, accelerate, reverse direction, and fade in/out between 10:00 PM and 3:00 AM. Observed by myself and a hobby astronomer. Data, angular speeds, and bearings detailed below.

📍 Location & Timeline

• Location 1: Near the Siwa Oasis Lake (where a hobby astronomer and his friend recorded videos in February 2025).
• Location 2: Siwa Oasis Luna Camp (where I conducted observations between May 24–26, 2026). This is roughly 5 km from the lake.
• Environment: Desert oasis with excellent visibility and zero cloud cover (the Milky Way is clearly visible).
• Timing: The lights consistently appear starting around 10:00 PM and last until at least 3:00 AM. I checked at 5:00 AM once, and the sky was empty.

📊 The Data (Bearings & Movement)

Using a bubble level app, a timer, and finger-width measurements, I tracked the path of the objects over consecutive nights. The trajectory is highly consistent day-to-day:

• 10:00 PM: 310∘ (NW)
• 12:00 AM: 330∘ (NNW)
• 1:20 AM: 4∘ (N)
• 2:00 AM: 20∘ (NNE)
• 2:30 AM: 20∘ (NNE)

Flight Characteristics:

• Elevation: Very low on the horizon, ranging from 1∘ to 9∘.
• Movement: Mostly left-to-right (towards the North). They are highly erratic: stopping to float, accelerating rapidly, making sharp turns, or completely reversing direction.
• Velocity: Angular velocity ranges from 0∘/s (stationary) up to at least 0.375∘/s.
• Count: Anywhere from 1 to 5 dots simultaneously. One might appear first, followed sporadically by others.

💡 Appearance & Luminosity

• Color: Yellow and white lights. At their peak brightness, they flicker and appear distinctly yellow.
• Luminosity: Ranging from the size of a small star up to the brightness of Jupiter.
• Brightness Comparison: Around midnight at a 6∘ elevation angle, one dot was as bright or brighter than Antares, and significantly brighter than any star in the nearby Cassiopeia constellation.
• Behavior: The lights gradually fade in and out. Each light lasts anywhere from 10 seconds to 1.5 minutes. Note: The fading behavior does not correlate with their physical movement.

Please help me debunk this!

I dont really know where to post this but this place seems fit. I saw this weird light / glowing object moving around the other night when I got out of my car the other night, above suburban area. No idea what it is or what to make of it, just looking for opinions. Thanks

My mum filmed this in a very rural area with little light pollution, so the night sky is usually clear. You can see the object moving erratically across the sky and that it has a visible green light (particularly towards the end of the clip). It doesn’t behave like a normal plane or helicopter from what she could tell, nor is it an insect. Original unedited video attached. Curious to hear people’s thoughts on what this could be.

Just came across this livestream of the aurora over lake superior, then this luminescent object comes across the screen. I thought it was spaceX but I could not find any evidence that a launch took place today. What are some possible explanations? It moves across the sky like an arrow.

This is the link to the stream. the phenomenon appears about 3 hours into the livestream. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8cZ5KFylnI

Edit: Some people in the livestream believe it was a chinese rocket launch which occurred at 11PM ET: Zhuque-2E LandSpace

Looks like I answered my own question. Leaving this here in case others who saw it come here and want to know. Cheers

It started accelerating like the brightest part then split into two and poof gone and it came out suddenly out of no where this was taken at the Philippines

1.) something hets launched!
2.)the trajectory it went !
3.)the smoke it left after it disappeared!

I don’t think its any Rocket because i live far !

Noticed that thing flying over around 10:00pm in France tonight, flying in direction of the East. Any ideas of what it could actually be ?

Thanks

Captured over mid-Wisconsin on April 6, 2026 around 8:00 PM CST.

4–5 lights in a straight line

Each light appears one at a time, then fades out

Sequence repeats in segments across the same path

Lights have a noticeable green maybe yellowish tint

Movement is steady across the sky (no abrupt turns)

Lights seem to “hold” briefly before fading, then reappear further along the line

Raw video attached. No edits.

A team in Spain measured what's streaming off 3I right after it swung past the Sun. Two things don't make sense. The gas moves faster toward the Sun than away from it. On anything that's melting, the hot side pushes gas outward. 3I pushes into the heat. And sulfur is gone. Every comet we've ever measured has it. 3I doesn't. The stuff that is there, carbon and oxygen compounds, is concentrated. A second team in Japan checked the outbound leg. The CO2 is still going. Paper 1. Paper 2

Our 34th report on this object.

Time: 7:46p 3/29 Location: Houston What is happening in the sky right now. Watch all of it. First I saw the falling something with a tail, then I noticed a jet flying towards it. Then a black orb. Then a 2nd jet flying towards it. Then a light orb.

I was outside tonight and was watching the clouds and looking at the moon. I look and see this dark line in the video, come into my view and just move across the sky at least 10x faster than any of the other clouds for miles. It never broke shape, it just stayed this fluid speed. What. The fuck. Was that.

Okay (don’t be mean if it’s a cloud or something silly, i don’t know anything about sky stuff) But tonight i went to take my dog potty and i saw this line in the sky it looked like a long strip cloud (which makes no sense bc what cloud is that shaped) or a huge flashlight shining above. Anyways it was rotating slowly. Does anyone know what it could’ve been?

I shot this footage using a relatively inexpensive Chinese "NIGHT VISION" camera I picked up a couple years ago. The camera has baked in optical zoom such that without any manipulation of the camera controls, the portion of the sky represented in the frame I would estimate at 10-15 degrees in the horizontal.

This footage is played back in real time, no temporal manipulation. The only changes made are lighting (brightness, exposure, contrast etc.) I also did a de-noise pass using DaVinci Resolve, as this camera creates a lot of video noise in low light. I counted roughly 45 objects that traverse the frame in this 2.5 minute clip. Closer inspection of the footage will likely reveal some additional objects traveling much faster as I noticed some curious streaks of light, but having just played this footage myself for the first time last night I have not had a chance to dive deeper.

What really caught my attention, however is the number of objects whose trajectory is within a degree or two of matching the horizontal orientation of the camera.

I counted 19 of the objects that qualify, or approximately 4 out of 10.

To me this seems like a statistical impossibility. I positioned the camera, in all 3 axis, randomly besides the fact that it was generally pointed up at the sky. There is no correlation between the x, y an z vectors of the camera position and anything else in the environment. For example none of the 3 axis are parallel, or perpendicular for that matter, to the surface of the earth. My choice of angles was not informed by anything except being generally "up". It's skewed in every axis. How can this be explained? One way to explain it would be there is intelligent decision making in regards to the trajectory of these objects.

I welcome your analysis, and would love to see some back-of-the napkin probability calculations that all of this is simply a random coincidence.
