This was about 7 years ago, in Southern California. I was just chilling on the porch, listening to the radio. Suddenly, the radio goes to static and I can hear some helicopters in the air. I look up, and see a wierd ass aircraft being escorted by two helicopters. It was by far the strangest thing I have ever seen. Anyone know of any military aircraft that fuck with radio signals? It almost looked like a SR-71 Blackbird, but wider and way thicker.
A few months ago, I saw a red light in the sky that would dim then brighten, dim then brighten, then all of a sudden it just dissappears and nothing's there but then it would brighten again. To this day, I have no idea what it was. I speculate it had to be a UFO since satellites will move when they do that, but this thing was stationary, and I don't think it was the military either since there's no bases near me, so that's all I got. It was weird to see, but nothing too exciting. Maybe it was a UFO, or maybe it wasn't. Who knows.. I think it was though.

i lived in a semi-rural area for years, spent many nights outside looking up at the sky. i would go for a walk or jog many times a week, at night. light pollution was mild enough that i could make out the band of the milky way, but the band wasnt startling. i saw multiple meteors every night, saw satellites drifting by on many occasions, sadly never saw anything bizarre. i lived there for over a decade

I live near a Navy base and I've seen some cool stuff, mostly test missiles so not really "unidentified" but cool nonetheless.

Oh yea, sometimes we get some cool fighter jets flying around and they can get pretty noisy.

I was out at Stockton lake in Missouri with my dad for a bit of very early morning catfishing. We weren't catching a dann thing so we decided to do a bit of star gazing. We had picked out multiple satellites zipping around and unfocusing your eyes you could easily see three at a time. Finally the first light started to peek above the horizon and I remember it vividly like a ball of plasma (most of my memories of sunrises aren't nearly so vivid). So there's this huge contrast of empty space and a sliver of molten yellow and we start tracking another seemingly larger satellite heading right towards the rising sun. Its trajectory seemed to shallow out and run nearly parallel to the horizon. Then it caught the light of the sun and lit up like a ball of fire in the sky. I thought I was witnessing a satellite in orbit in the perfect position to reflect first light right into our eyeballs. But I will never forget what happened next. It SLOWED DOWN once it was directly inside the sunrise and instead of passing over the horizon it leveled out and passed behind the trees, still reflecting all that light. What was probably 10-15 seconds felt like an eternity watching it sail above and then behind the trees. After it was gone I looked at my dad and asked "What was that?" and he kept staring at the sky, then said "Were not catching anything, lets go back."

I've been outside one day a while back looking up at the stars. After a long time of looking at 'the usual', I caught a glimpse of what looked like a 'star' that was changing from white, blue and green and pulsating slightly and focused on it. You could barely tell but it would get dimmer and brighter dimmer brighter and it seemed much brighter than surrounding stars which is what got my attention on it in the first place. Watching it for a few minutes it zigs to the left super fast, stops for a brief second, zagged back to the right, stopped, then shot upwards real fast like it was leaving the earths orbit and disappeared into the back drop of the stars.
It wasn't anything I could explain or had ever seen before. The speed with which it moved across the sky in an instant and stopped on a dime tells me it was no man made craft and that it had to be under some kind of intelligent control.

Were they in two parallel columns?
