We were in our backyard and i looked up at a plane to the west and noticed what appeared to be a planet, but it was too early for stars. i got my telescope out and noticed a round object that looked like a white baloon. as it got darker i saw that it had an orange appearance like a few stripes and in the telescope saw a few flashing lights clearly. if you view my short video that is taken from the scope on freeze frame you can see two white flashing lights rotate from side to side. my family and i captured some images, note it was a slow hover for two hours appearing to float about 1,000 feet high or even a mile or two. my wife saw the baloon type object and the flashing lights that blinked back and forth through the scope also and my son came outside to view it as well. after sunset it gradually faded. the video that is short and dark is pretty amazing if you view it on freeze frame. through the scope it appeared t have a pattern around the baloon shape object and there was a round part of the baloon where the two flashing lights were admitting from. it moved slowly as a hover from the west and moved a bit south. i have more pictures taken from another camera but haven’t been able to transfer them to a computer yet. the photos and videos i submitted were taken from my iphone.
