I glanced out of our front window to look for the Northern lights.which were supposed to be visible in NH skies this evening. I saw a long bright cylindrical light in the sky traveling from the Northwest towards the Northeast. I shut of our light and called to my husband. He watched it moving through the sky and told me to get the camera. He said it looked a bit orange to him and while I tried to get the camera to come on he said it just faded away like it was cloaking itself. I could not get a picture in that time frame. The object did not have any blinking lights and it moved very quickly. There was not any difference in brightness or mass on any part of it's shape. It was the same brightness from one end to the other. NUFORC: Starlink

I live off of route 101 East in NH , which goes to the ocean. I was going out around 11:00 p.m. to smoke a cigarette and I looked up and saw what I thought maybe a star at first but it was blinking and looked like it was moving. I knew that it wasn't a plane just by the look of it. I watched it for a while, then I got my boyfriend to verify what I was seeing and he thought it was very odd too. Then I got my phone out and started recording at first I was recording it and I could see it on my phone moving and then my phone just stopped recording and went to the home screen. I went to re-watch that and there's weird noises you can kind of see the light a little bit and then there's two different times there is these flashes of lights. And then I tried another time and got a 5-minute video. In the video you can see it moving side to side up and down criss-cross every direction very quickly, which I could not see with my naked eye. I went into the house to get b noculars I only watched it for about 1 minute with the binoculars and then it was gone. It had red green and a white/yellowish light and it was a diamond shape. I went out tonight and saw there again in the same spot. I ran in immediately after taking another 5-minute video and looking at it for not even a second and it started to leave. I went in the house to see it better binoculars and it took me awhile to find it again but I saw something with blinking lights that was very far away what I could not make out of shape but I did see red blinking and a white yellowish blinking. It made no sound or no sound that I could hear being so far away. But was moving very quickly and then it would hover and then move very quickly again and then hover.It was very far away I could tell because I could not see it with my naked eye. And then it got really bright and it was just gone. I've seen it two nights in a row in the same spot. I'm pretty sure it was the same craft. from about how ! far it was from me I could tell it was probably over the ocean.
