Three erratically moving, yet relatively stationary multicolored lights visible from residential location in Danvers, MA. All three were high in the night sky. One light north by northeast, one in the east and one in the south. Visible to the naked eye. When viewed through binoculars, lights became crystal clear and focused. They looked like squiggly lines spinning in erratic multicolored circles. Each light was the same three colors: white, electric blue and electric red. Very similar to what you might see if you aimed a cat toy laser at a wall or floor and spun it in circles, but multicolored and in the sky. Night sky is clear. Stars are visible. Sighting viewed by two adults: 46 year old female and 49 year old male. The lights were too far for my phone to focus and appear only as a flashing dot in the video. Note that the movement of the dot was in fact me moving, not the dot. I tried to record through the binoculars, but failed. The light in the video is the one seen in the south direction.

Last night on the 27th of February 2021, I was on my 5th floor balcony when I noticed a bright light coming from the Southeast. This is a usually route for planes so I paid it no mind at first. But then I noticed it was traveling very fast and flew over me quickly. It was a very bright round light yet small. It traveled faster than any aircraft I have ever seen. As a licensed drone pilot, I could tell it wasn't that. No sound, high speed, very bright. I actually waited to see maybe another, but this was the only one. I went into my apartment and then heard what could only be described as a military jet or two pass by quickly in the same direction. I have always been a skeptic, but now I will pay more attention.

I was walking my dog and noticed a fairly bright reddish-orange glowing object in the southern sky near the moon and it was moving in a straight line from south to north. I would guess maybe 2000-3000 feet in elevation, and moving at medium cruising speed. What was strange is the object went from glowing reddish-orange to a more orange color, and then the color completely disappeared. You could still see the object which had a light gray body color continue north until it was out of sight. There was no sound heard at all, as you would expect to hear from a jet or plane even if delayed due to the speed of sound. I called my son outside to see it, and he did, but the color had already dissipated at that time.
