Every few weeks it comes back above my condo. I have reported sightings with I believe Richard in union city Mufon. Wondering if anyone else has reported the so called moon behaving and moving strangely? From what I gather. It seems like it’s as if it’s some sort of light that hangs and moves on a track? Kinda moves, stops, and kinda wobbles as like a ball hanging from something. I I’ve witness it do circles, il , down, left, right, etc. all local news refuses to even listen to me. I’ve noticed this happen along with many crafts for past 1 1/2 yrs now. I just wish someone with large quality equipment would come out and witness what I see so often. I’m sure you all there know what I’m talking about and would enlighten me a lil of what I’m witnessing.

Was on patio smoking and glances at one of the unusual bright looking stars. Noticed one blinking a blueish/ red. The others were twinkling white and tan. After staring at one I noticed it did some small zig zags , circles. Up/ down/ left and right. I then looked at the tan one and it too moved in strange similar patterns. Had to wake mom up and have her see if she seen what I was seeing and then she noticed them move also. After 1 hr or so they kinda just got dimmer as if leaving. I tried getting a video on my Apple 6 phone but it wouldn’t pick them up. I did get some snap shot pics tho. Not sure if I’m imagining it or not but in one pic when I zoomed in I swear I can see a side profile of Jesus as he is seen in paintings with the thorn crowns and all. In another I see what appears to be a shape of a grew as if peeking through some sort of ? Time space dimensional window looking at me. Very odd. Perhaps I just imagined the images but it was enough fo! r me to start praying to god and Jesus. But both my mom and I seen them moving. And I’ve seen satellites before and they were Not satellites moving in circles and zig zags. I feel blessed to of witnessed them tonight. They had a twinkle to them also. One with the red and blueish and the other was kinda flashing light as like a mirror reflecting sunlight.
