What strange things have you seen in the night sky?

I thought this would be a fun topic to discuss. I get in the hot tub and have a cigar many nights after dark. This gives me a chance to look at the night sky and often see stuff I am not sure how to explain. So I’m wondering what strange things that you have seen in the night sky? Unexplained phenomenon, satellites etc.

 

sounds like your "cigar" is laced with something

 

If I just sit still for a few seconds, I see all sorts of stuff. Satellites, planets, meteors, the ISS. Few things I can’t explain, too.

Here’s one: I remember seeing the lights of what looked like two big jets (like 737s). This was at night so all I had to go by was the lights. One was following directly behind the other. I thought that was interesting enough, but then I noticed that stars disappeared between them as the moved across the sky. I realized I was looking at something MUCH bigger than two jets. I watched it long enough to notice by the way it blocked out the stars that it was oblong in shape. It seemed to cruise at a very high altitude. Totally silent. The only thing I could think at the time was maybe it’s a blimp. But it seemed too high and moved way too fast for that.

 

The Star Link satellite "chain" a couple of weeks ago, it was a trip !

 

Our "not so friendly" neighbor across the street on her broomstick.

 

I figured that would be a response. Thankfully all natural here. No alcohol or drugs.

 

Wish I had seen this

 

I like to look at stars and satellites when I'm out camping but can't say I've seen anything strange.

 

Most nights its clear i spend a few hours stargazing, just shooting stars and satellites. Usually use my sky map to find the name of a new star and read the wiki on it.

but every month or so during daylight i get to watch someone practice their airshow tricks, thats always interesting.
