Full Report Text:
Stationary white light observed by two people for several minutes
Bright, non-flickering white object in sky before any stars were visible. "Star Walk" iPhone program located it in roughly the location of star Dubhe (end of bowl in "Big Dipper").
Appeared to be stationary during several minutes of observation (we didn't see it appear--it was already visible when we went out on our deck), though there were no nearby visible reference objects for confirmation.
Brightness roughly that of Jupiter, but way too far from the ecliptic to be a planet.
My wife & I looked away for a few seconds while discussing where our binoculars might be, and when we looked back it had completely vanished, So, unfortunately, we did not see if it flickered out or vanished in an instant.
Thought it might be a meteor headed directly towards us, but the brightness seemed too steady for that.
We sometimes observe rocket launches from Wallops that appear as stationary spots when headed away from us, but there were none scheduled toda! y that we know of.
Definitely too little motion over the period of the observation for it to be an ordinary aircraft. Seemed too bright (and stationary) to be a satellite.
Full Report Text:
Three low bright orange objects following the same path fading to red with no sound or navigation lights.
I saw the first large bright orange light going from north to south between Ballston and East Falls Church at around 10:30 pm.
As it passed directly over head, the light was reflecting off the bottom of the clouds as it the object was right below the cloud.
Absolutely no noise.
Before the first object faded into the distance another object followed the same path at the same speed.
By this time my neighbor had seen it as well.
Then as the second object faded to the south, a third even brighter object followed the same path. Again, no noise and no navigation lights. Just bright orange turning to dim red as they faded into the distance.
It took each object about 3 minutes to traverse the sky and their altitude was just below the clouds.
Full Report Text:
There were four lights in the sky. Imagine a pizza cut into four slices the lights met in the center and then spread out making an X then out to the edge. Each light outlined 1/4 of a circle.
This happened in the only cloud in the sky.

Four round white lights circling and converging at center an then circling and converging, in the sky at Arlington, VA
We saw four white lights circling and converging at the center and again moving and circling and then converging at the center on the sky. It was going on for few minutes. Tried to take pictures n video but could not as it was dark.
We could not believe our eyes and we surprised. Not sure if there are powerful lights from the ground that hit the sky. Did anyone else see this?

It was over the Potomac river before crossing into dc. I was shooting video trying to capture a plane and i saw something flying by very close.
And really quick it was hard to tell what it was I'm waiting for my friend to send me the file and another one that he may had seen.
