Shiny metallic craft in morning sunlight At sunrise, I saw shiny object hanging in the sky. The sun was shining directly on it and it shone bright silver. I thought it was a star but I had never seen a star this late in the morning so I decided to video it.
When I watched the video, to my surprise, the shiny thing was moving. Upon closer inspection, it was not only sinking in a downward motion but it flew side to side as well. It glinted or sparkled in the sun.
I was at work when I saw this and a coincidence happened -all wi-fi in the hospital quit working and cellular service stopped too. The IT computer team said there was an unexplained equipment failure and they were trying to fix it as quick as possible. It took 5+ hours to fix.

Fairbanks PD sees UFO On Monday, 09/06/2021 my friend (recently retired Homer policeman) sent me a text saying that a buddy of his on the Fairbanks police force had seen a UFO. He forwarded two video clips of the UFO from his police friend. Apparently it was "dead quiet" when the UFO was overhead.
The FPD officer also said that it wasn't long after seeing the UFO that four jets (from Eielson AFB) did a number of passes in the area - what the police officer presumed was in search of the UFO.

Blue lights in sky blue light slowly wavering across the sky, then circled, seemed to break into two lights, separated far apart, then back into one. then took off at a 90 degree angle and vanished. No sound (like engine noise).
I could not tell what the blue light was attached to.
