Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I often find myself gazing up at the night sky, especially with the planetary alignment happening tonight. I was outside enjoying the view of the stars and clouds when something incredible happened.
Initially, I spotted what appeared to be a meteor right next to Mars, Castor, and Pollux. It shot across the sky, curving to the right in a flash.
Then, about 10-15 minutes later, I was stunned to see a very faint black V-shaped object silently gliding through the sky. Beneath it, there were 3 to 5 dim lights. It was flying incredibly high and moving quickly.
I was so captivated that I didn’t even think to record it; I just couldn’t take my eyes off it. It seemed to be heading northwest, almost like a shadow dancing across the night.
As I mentioned, this is my first time sharing here, so thank you for welcoming me! I hope you’re all doing well and taking care of yourselves.
Wow, what an incredible experience! Thanks for sharing your sighting with us. It’s fascinating how the night sky can surprise us, especially during a planetary alignment like the one you mentioned.
The description of the faint black V shape with lights underneath is particularly intriguing. It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie! It’s understandable that you were too captivated to record it; sometimes the moment is so stunning that we just want to soak it in.
Have you thought about what it might have been? There are so many possibilities, from drones to more mysterious phenomena. It’s great to see more people sharing their sightings—each one adds to the puzzle of what we might encounter in the skies. Thanks again for posting, and I hope you get to see more amazing things in your stargazing adventures!
