Description

I am used to seeing planes, jets, and helicopters flying straight through our area. I’m familiar with all the aircraft’s that pass through sometimes military jets and helicopters go up the river here, it’s loud. Familiar with directions of the private planes, etc. this is was nothing I’ve ever seen. Initially I thought, “there’s another plane” but then it made a sharp u-turn and was more or less in the same spot, just some slight, quick, controlled movements. I thought “how very strange” so I got up to film. Satellite, planet, or star perhaps? So I checked nightsky app, I couldn’t line anything up with the object. As you can see there are distinct flashings, but I heard no sound. I grabbed binoculars and what I saw was about half a pinky nail sized circle (it’s very far away) a changing pattern of flashing and geometric shape but I can’t make it out totally. I’m watching for movement through the binoculars so I didn’t film everything, the phone isn’t the best. Anyway. I was tired and I started watching from bed the object steadily travels West and stops again, makes 4 quick drops and back to original altitude. When looking back into the binoculars the shape was a clear half dome now so the angle was different I supposed when it relocated. I started filming again and then it went a bit out of sight and eventually gone. What did I see? Any ideas of what it is? Thank you.
