My son and I were in our backyard when he saw a bright circular object in the direction of the moon. We thought at first it was maybe a planet although it was daytime . We watched the object with our naked eyes and binoculars for over 30 minutes moving east slowly away from the moon across half of the sky until we could not see it because of lower clouds. In the binoculars it looked like a white shiny ball or disc. The airline traffic appeared much lower so I would say the object was many miles above 30,000 ft. which would make the object rather large. My wife and daughter also watched with us after we told them what we were doing. The picture is with an iPhone zoomed a little . It was more impressive when looking through the binoculars. Please let me know if anyone knows what this was. Thank you

Saw a row of 3 bright lights and 1 larger lower brighter circle light. Due west over ocean. Stayed in fixed position for 1/2 hour, then we got cold. Saw 3 planes headed directly toward them. 1 seemed very close, enough to probably get a good look.

Flew from the south towards the north, then would turn. They did not stay in a straight line like satellites do. They came in pairs. With smaller lights in tow or around the bright pairs. And after viewing for approximately 40 mins at least 2 sets of pairs. Stopped, held their location, then slowly started to move again. I have probably 40 to 50 pictures I took with my phone. One video. It was not star link. They wher not in a straight line. Came in pairs off set side by side. With littler dimmer lights around the bright pairs.

What I saw has to do with the rising of the moon. One night the moon rose from the North-esst horizon and then a week later the moon rose slightly south east. It basically rose in two different places a week or so apart. I don't know what this may mean. Thanks

I saw what looked like a small airplane go straight up into the sky and disappear. It looked to me like it had gone into outer space because it got smaller within an area of three inches holding my arm out to the sky. It didn't travel to the horizon it actually just went straight up in the air and disappeared. It had no vapor trail and by the time it went farther up I couldn't see wings on it anymore. Another person was there and he could not even see it when I pointed it out to him even though it was clearly there to me he couldn't even tell it was there.
