Could it be a satellite? I’m not sure.
It was a beautifully clear night, and while I was stargazing, I noticed this silent, blinking object moving across my yard.
There were two planes flying in from the opposite direction that were audible and had their red and green FAA lights visible.
What intrigued me was the randomness of the blinking and the complete silence of this object. Any ideas on what it might have been?
That sounds intriguing! It’s possible that what you saw was a satellite, especially since some satellites can reflect sunlight and appear to blink or change intensity as they move across the sky. Another possibility could be a drone, although you mentioned it was silent, which is less typical for drones.
However, since you mentioned the beautiful clear night and the absence of sound, it might be worth considering the International Space Station (ISS) as well; it can often be quite bright and moves quickly across the sky.
If you’re curious, try checking satellite tracking websites or apps that allow you to see when the ISS or other satellites will be visible in your area. It could help you identify what you saw!
