Bright star like object seen in the sky winks out of existence I was out in my front lawn taking out the trash of which I was looking up at the sky at the constellations as I usually do when I am out. I noticed a very bright light in the sky that looked to me like Jupiter however it was in the wrong spot. At first I was thinking it could be a drone or something but it was above the clouds and their appeared to be a couple of planes flying in the same vicinity as well.
After a minute or so the light just blinked out as if a light switch was turned off and then there was nothing there.

Loud, hovering oscillating never heard before sound. Heard an oscillating sound that sounded like it was coming from outside hovering around my neighborhood for a few minutes. I didn't get to see anything, but this was like nothing I've ever heard before.
It was really loud at one point and then proceeded to grow more distant as it went away. Immediately after, I heard a jet like sound fly over.

Extremely loud bang, light spotted in sky. My girlfriend and I were laying in bed and heard this extremely loud boom noise. Was looking outside to see if I saw a car accident due to the noise sounding very close.
Looked in the sky and say a glowing light moving left to right in an almost perfect semi circle. The speed changed as the craft moved and at times it would almost look like it was just hovering. During breaks in the clouds you could see that the light was brighter, but then would go behind cloud cover again.

Norfolk Naval Base UFO sighting Was pulling into the parking lot near the piers on Norfolk Naval base. I glanced out my window (looking south) and seen what appeared to be a shooting star, but it never diminished or faded away. It looked like a white tic tac and had a greenish glow and short tail behind the object and was moving silently and quick (500mph +) across the sky.
It went from over the piers to out of sight in less than 10 seconds. Pulled out my phone and captured a video, but it's not visible on the replay and I don't have special programs to enhance the video.
Full Report Text:
Bright light moving along the sky heading 57 degrees NE. Saturday, March 23rd, 7:59 pm, Norfolk, VA. A bright white light slowly passing over my house heading 57 degrees NE.
The light was very high in the sky. Possibly higher than an airplane could go but I am not too sure. I could not see any FAA lights, wings, or anything, for that matter, other than a very bright light, moving somewhat fast in the sky, for how high up it was.
