Odd blinking light in sky moving in odd ways. My family and I had just gotten back home from going out to eat and my son saw Orion’s belt in the sky. He asked if he could break out his telescope and look at the stars since the moon’s not out.
We said sure and went into the back yard to do a little stargazing. We had been outside for about 20 minutes and had seen a few shooting stars and a few planes. We all kind of fixated on this one light though that my wife thought was a plane because you could see it blinking, but I thought was something else (honestly, I thought it was a star) because I was able to lock in on it through the telescope.
I said that if it were a plane, then I wouldn’t be able to hold it in the telescope long enough that we could all take a look at it. We started watching it at about 2012 as it started to do some pretty weird things. First it would blink like crazy (white, red, and blue), then it would just sort of twinkle a little.
Then it started swinging left and right, just sort of rocking back and forth. It also started bouncing up and down in the sky and doing loops (moving in a circle) in front of us. I saw three planes in the sky around this odd light that were able to move along like I had seen most planes do, but this thing was still in more or less the same place it had been at when we first saw it after almost half an hour.
At 2040, we decided that we needed to go in since it was cold and the kids have school in the morning. We ran into my neighbor, who we showed the light in the sky to, and he said, “That’s cool.” And then went to get his wife to show her too.
That’s when I came inside and started talking about maybe calling the local police or something. My wife was outside still, but when she came in she asked if I was serious, told me that she had seen the light go out and come back on again, and then looked up a way to report a U.F.
O. ((NUFORC Note: "Twinkling" star, possibly Sirius. PD)).

At bus stop and looked up at plane. To the left of it appeared to be an orb. The orb was a lot faster and more agile than any plane that I have seen.

slow moving object white in color moved away at a very high rate of speed, On April 5, 2014 between 2100 hrs. and 2200 hrs. I was in my front yard with my dogs.
It was a clear cool night the moon was out and the stars were brilliant. As I turned I glanced in the Southern part of the sky and observed a very bright star. Then it dawned on me I had not seen a bright star in that part of the sky.
It was approximately 60 degrees up. After looking I thought it must be a plane. The area I live in has many military bases were planes and land and take off through out the day and night.
There is a Coast Guard Base about 50 miles away in North Carolina and helicopters fly to the Norfolk Naval Base. We also have the Norfolk Internationl Air Port where commercial planes land and take off so I thought nothing of it. Later I looked at the object again and it was closer at about the same angle.
I wondering why it was so bright then concluded it must have its landing lights on. I could not see the red and green flashing lights on the wings and thought the landing lights were blocking them I turned and went back playing with my dogs. There were other planes in the area I could see their flashing red and greenl lights on the wings.
Some were making their turn for Norfolk Airport and otheres heading towards other places. I looked again and the object made a slight course change rather quickly. It was not a big move but was abrupt.
As I took my dogs back to the house I glanced again at the object and realized it was not a plane. The total time I had been and outside playing with the dogs and watching this object was about 10 minutes. While in the house I grabbed my Nikon 10x50 binocluars went out side and observed the object through the binocluars.
At this time it was at about an 80 degree angle almost directly over me, I had to lean against a post on my porch to steady the binocluars. It was bright white with a haze around the edges and in the shape of a circle. I called my wife and asked her what she thought that was pointing to the object she replied a plane.
I handed the glasses to her she looked and said on my God. Then she said it was gone. I grabbed the binocluars found the object whchi had moved in a North East direction very fast it was no a pin point of light orange in color and about 20 to 30 degress.
It got smaller appeared to go in to a haze then it was gone. From the time I took the glasses and the object disappeared was from 5 to 10 seconds. I have thought about this and believe the object was above the Earths' atmosphere.
The bright white was a reflection off of the objects surface. That would also explain why there was no sonic boom when the object sped away. I now believe that the object did not change color to orange but as it sped away the atomsphere gave the impression the color change.
I have observed this when I look at a star in that direction that appears to be orange. This object must have been massive.

Large bright blue light in the sky breaks into three lights and descends I was on my way home between 6 pm and 6:15 and I saw a large bright blue light in the sky. It looked like it was falling so my first thought is that it was a meteor. Then it broke into 3 lights.
They all kept going in a downward direction but I lost sight of them due to the high tree line behind the houses on my street. The sighting only lasted 4 or 5 seconds. The lights seemed close.
There were no tails on the lights as there often are with shooting stars. I work for a defense contractor.

Full Report Text:
A large white disk shaped object hovering or floating in sky on a clear morning and then it vanished. On an early clear morning. I was standing in my door way of my mobile home and looking up at the SE direction of the clear blue sky I noticed a large white disk shaped object hovering or floating in the sky at a close distance.
I kept my eyes focused on the craft to look for blinking lights to make sure it wasn't an airplane but I didn't see any lights at all, it was just solid white. I thought it was very unusual and as I kept my eyes focused on the object it just suddenly disappeared. It didn't fly away like an airplane, the craft or object just vanished.
((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).
