Occurred : 8/25/2022 21:15 (Entered as : 08/25/2022 9:15 PM) Reported: 8/25/2022 6:49:08 PM 18:49 Posted: 9/9/2022 Location: STATESVILLE, NC Shape: Unknown Duration: Approximately 3 minutes Characteristics: There were aircraft in the vicinity or aircraft chasing the object
Bright orangish to red lights or orbs moving left to right in the sky I was standing on my back porch facing East and what I first thought was a bright shooting star that got really bright but it moved unusually slow from left to right in the sky. The light faded and all of a sudden another light appeared where the first one started. The second, third, fourth, and fifth lights followed the same path, duration, brightness and fading. I panicked to get family but the lights seemed to have moved farther away and lower in the sky which made them hard to see with the faint clouds. About 10 minutes later we heard and saw a large helicopter flying west over our house. I have never seen anything like this and I love watching the sky at night with the planes, satellites, space station, meteors. I feel kinda silly posting this but it was so unusual. NUFORC Note: Possibly Starlink
