Full Report Text:
Bright, Nonflashing Pinkish Light without any accompanying lights visible. Observed a pinkish, large, moderately bright light, non-blinking and unchanging, moving toward my location where I stood observing. The movement was not unlike an aircraft, straightline and not apparently faster than a conventional plane.
No sound. What made this unlike anything I have seen before was the color (pink grapefruit flesh colored). The conditions were very clear, star-filled sky with no lunar illumination (very dark sky and brilliant starlight--no haze or humidity).
The object was moving almost directly in an Easterly path, at a height that appeared to be 800 ft or less. I tried to go in the house, upstairs, and locate the object as it passed over a tree that was about to block my view from the backyard, but I never saw it again, even after returning to the yard. It was a bit fuzzy around the edges, as if it were a fire (almost reminded me of what a flare should look like).
No smoke visible. No other aircraft visible at this time in the sky around the object. I am providing this report only as a confirmation in the event others report the same or similar observations.
EOR.
Full Report Text:
ABOUT TWO HOURS BEFORE SUNSET, I LOOKED STRAIGHT UP AND SAW TWO VERY BRIGHT SILVER BB OBJECTS THAT WERE MUCH HIGHER THAN JET AIRCRAFT THAT WERE LEAVING A CONTRAIL. THE TWO OBJECTS LEFT NO CONTRAIL AND WERE MOVING ABOUT 300 DEGREES AND APEARED TO HOOVER IN MID FLIGHT TO THE NORTH WEST OF LANCASTER OHIO.I WATCH SATALITES ALL THE TIME AND HAVE NOT SEEN ONE HOOVER YET.
THEY DISAPEARED DUE TO DISTANCE AND ALTITUDE. ALSO, WHILE WATCHING SATALITES AND STARS ONE NIGHT, I SAW A WHITE PULSE BEHIND AN VERY FAST MOVING OBJECT AT THE ALTITUDE OF SATALITES AND IT MOVED ABOUT 30TIMES FASTER THAN ORBITING SATILITES. IT FLEW FROM THE NORTH STAR DOWN SOUTH AND THEN WENT IN THE OTHER DIRECTION AS IF TO SAY LOOK AT ME.
