I will make this as clear as possible. My name is [redacted] and I am a high school student. Last night at around 23:30, My two friends and I biked to Lower Moreland's track field where we parked our bikes. I took a look around and into the sky. At this moment,up and toward the end of the track I saw something that seemed out of place. What caught my eye was a yellowed amber dot. However, the, "dot" was not blinding or irritating to the eye as it appeared to be very elevated and far away (just like any other light in the sky). As mentioned earlier, I said this dot was, "-out of place" but stars, galaxies, and planets are all sorts of shapes and colors, this one honestly just happened to catch my interest (I would like to describe the moment I locked my eyes on it as a coincidence). I stare at it and I notice it's moving. To this, I thought, "Geez, is the earth really rotating that fast, I wonder if it's possible to see such a thing.&! quot;. Soon after as in seconds or a minute, the "dot" (to which I now would like to refer to as an object) darted in a smooth motion however, quickly, to the left, maybe right. No matter what direction it moved in, I began to see obvious movement from the ball of light which seemed to leave trails of it's color for split seconds as it slowly moved or dashed across the sky. I would like to say that it wasn't zooming all over the sky like some crazy ufo, these movements were subtle yet very noticable, when stared at. It may have looked only an inch or two across the sky if you measured it from our eyes, but it was definitely covering great distance in each movement we saw due to the seemingly extremely high elevation. So, after this incident and observation I call it out to my friends. Here, I debate with them and we argue until we all begin to really see it. The highly elevated object or, "ball of light" was no plane as it moved and stood staionary and i! t was very unlikely no helicopter, due to it's appearance of h! igh alti tude, above any planes we saw fly under it. As we stood there on the left side of the track in the middle, we recorded, took photos and discussed what we had been seeing. During the time we were there, the object had moved enough for us to realize our brains were not tricking us and it really was going staionary to not stationary, and stationary again. Planes somewhat low to the ground compared to the object were leaving an airport somewhere off in the distance. Another plane sighting happened when a plane (airport plane) flew next to the object whilst still much futher below the object to which it reacted and moved away from ths plane below it. This plane was much higher than the ones we saw "low to the ground" and further below the object which determined it's high elevation. 2 of the "highest" planes were counted passing through using the dame path at different times, which were not noted. After we noted all of these things and got footage of the yello! wed, bright, and amber light/object, I wanted to get my phone to record, which I left at Friend 1's house. Friend 2 and I were staying at his house that night until further events. That aside, Friends 1 and 2 decide it is now in best interest to get home as fast as possible because of this extremely eerie yet stunning incident (they were freaked out). As I get my belongings, Friend 1 and Friend 2 take off on bikes to the right side of the field (the right side facing it from the road). Let it be known, I had not been paying much attention to the movements, rather it's position because the movements were too hard to make note of riding a bike. I told Friends 1-2 to keep constant eyes on the object. As I make my move to their side of the field, it follows. We group up and bike as quickly as we can back home, it follows and follows and follows as we keep our eyes locked on it the whole way to Friend 1's home. We reach the house and realize it is very differently orientated com! pared to where it was at the field and we draw the conclusion ! that it had followed all of us or just I. Here, we observe the object with a telescope as it had pretty much completely halted it's movement as we couldn't notice any more. Here, multiple times, I take note of red light(s) quickly appearing and reappearing in front of the object (the lights were smaller). We made multiple phone calls to non-witnesses and bring Friend 1's Dad out to see. At this moment it is 1:00am-1:30am, 11/7/2020. We decide to go inside and leave it alone. Friend 2 is picked up by the father of Friend 2 past 1:30 and before 2:00. I check the objects position as he leaves and it was still there, arguably in the same spot. Past 2:00 and before 4:00 I take a video and the object is not to be seen from anywhere we previously viewed it at Friend 1's house. The report was finished at 5:18, submitted at 5:21, 11/7/2020.

The end.
