I'm just curious to see if anyone has seen something they couldn't identify. Plus, this is a much lighter topic to discuss. 
I've seen things I couldn't identify but they were on a buffet table and I just by-passed them.![]()
That is the exact description of a satellite in orbit. I saw one once while watching multiple "shooting stars" in the clear night sky of Wyoming. In the Southern State where I live none of this is visible due to humidity in the atmosphere.Not in the supernatural/extraterrestrial sense. I twice saw an object i am 90% sure was a satellite. It was like a small but bright star, but it didn't twinkle, and moved across the night sky slowly (not a shooting star) as a consistent speed from one horizon to the other. It did not seem like a plane in either case. The total transit time was probably about 30-60 seconds.
*Trying to cheer myself up here...not having a good day*

Thanks for the confirmation. LIke I said, I was 90% sure, but not totally. Nowadays, when I am out on a clear night, I not only keep a look out for shooting stars, but satellites as well.That is the exact description of a satellite in orbit.

The light you saw was from the sun, reflected off a solar panel or radar grid. There were no flashing red or green navigation warning lights because there's nothing up there to warn. The path does not vary because they are just "floating" in their orbit. The speed is constant for the same reason. But since all that is obvious, here's something you may not know: in November China will deploy a stealth bomber. It looks exactly like our B2 Spirit because they stole our design. They lied when they promised not to develop a long range bomber. They lied about taking over islands that are not theirs. They have lied about everything they have ever told us.Thanks for the confirmation. LIke I said, I was 90% sure, but not totally.

I "Wow'd" this because I think it is extremely noteworthy, but yea, I saw an article about this yesterday I think. The idea that China can say they are not the kings of IP theft with a straight face is disgusting. I've said it once and I will say it again. I think we should cancel/default on ALL of our debt that the Chinese own and just say "That's roughly the cost of the blueprints for the F-22, F-35, a B-2. We are still figuring how much you owe us for Covid-19."The light you saw was from the sun, reflected off a solar panel or radar grid.

Their "B2" is slightly bigger.
