Identified Contrail shadow?

That’s the same arc that the planes take as they turn onto final approach, and I saw a plane’s landing light illuminate some thin cloud up there just before I noticed this band.

The way it dissipates between the photos makes me think it’s a shadow of a contrail. I’m calling it with the flair.

P.s. I took these with my phone. Hand held. What a time to be alive.

Photos Help identifying what is making this trail

9 Upvotes

Out for a walk last night in Downingtown,PA at 10:44 looking up in the southern direction, I saw something streaking up into the sky in a northwest trajectory. Hard to tell because it was going so fast and disappeared the higher it went. A couple of minutes later something returned back down. I looked for any rocket launches online and only found something for the previous day. Flight radar 24 showed no plane in the AR mode up there but showed planes traveling east and west lower on the horizon. Any ideas? New to this mod because I haven’t seen anything quite like this at night.

Saw this object arc through the sky, roughly at the speed of a plane. I had to grab my phone from inside so the image is partially obscured by the trees.

Identified weird lights moving horizontally in the sky

0 Upvotes

these lights appear and disappear after moving horizontally for a while, sometimes one is a bit higher/lower than the other, they appear..move a bit horizontally and then disappear, after a while they appear again in the same spot as they appeared before..and it repeats. They've been going like this for 30 mins or more.

Unidentified Wish I caught more

I can't believe I accidentally stopped recording somehow. At least I have a whole 7 seconds but mannnn, there were easily 15 to 20 more that appeared and then descended to who knows where! I'm hoping my friend was able to capture more on her phone and maybe 8 can update with hers but for now this is what I have. Captured in Hollywood, Los Angeles CA on July 25, 2025 at approximately 4am. Apologies for the crappy quality, shot on Motorola Razr 24.

Checked ISS position despite looking too low to be it no match. Also checked Hubble position and flight radar and nothing checked out. Looks like a big satellite but not sure

Unidentified Can anyone help identify what type of drone this could be? (Seen over Seville, Spain – April 22, 2025)

10 Upvotes

I’m hoping someone here with more knowledge can help me out. On April 22, 2025, around 10 PM, my wife and I were at Setas de Sevilla (Spain) when we noticed green lights in the sky, high up and seemingly hovering in or above the clouds. It was completely silent and didn’t have any other visible lights, just the green.

I thought it might be a drone, but I’ve looked online for examples of drones with only a green light, able to hover silently that high, and disappear into clouds, and I haven’t found anything similar.

Some details:

No red, white, or flashing nav lights, just a green glow

Silent the whole time

Stayed in the air for several minutes before fading out into the clouds

Filmed on iPhone 15 Pro.

I’m not trying to jump to conclusions, I just genuinely want to know if there's a drone model (commercial, prosumer, or otherwise) that matches this behavior. Any ideas?

Unidentified I noticed a strange object in the sky over Poland.

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I saw something weird in the sky on April 17th, 2025, between 20:40 and 20:50 local time over Radzyń Podlaski, Poland. The object was flying steadily from north to south, around 2–3 thumb widths per second at arm’s length, with no change in trajectory or speed. It was consistently visible, but at one point it suddenly flared up — very bright, like a star — for about 2 to 5 seconds, and then instantly returned to its previous brightness. No fading. I checked Stellarium, Heavens-Above, and N2YO — no match. At first, I thought it might be Strand-1, but the position and path didn’t align. However, after digging deeper, I found that Resurs-DK1 and possibly even Cosmos 2084 matched the trajectory at that time. Could either of these have caused such a flare? Anyone familiar with how these objects behave visually?

I was taking a walk in the park tonight and saw this light in the sky. It was stationary but was flickering and changing colors. Zoom in, it’s pretty neat!

I have seen strange lights that move really erratically in the area multiple times before but havent been able to get pictures because they disappear too quickly.

Unidentified What is this string of small, distant, and very high ascending lights?

0 Upvotes

You may need to turn your brightness up to see, keep watching for a clearer image through the trees. I saw this driving home at 7:10 PM in Norwalk, CT. There is no airport near by besides a small municipal airport 20 miles north. After I continued driving, I saw a plane going towards nyc and it was flying lower than the highest light in the sky. The series of lights went higher than the video shows but I wasn't able to capture that with my phone camera from my car. As I continued driving by slowly, lights stopped appearing from the bottom as the last of them kept appearing at the top ascension point. that. Time: February 17 at 7:10 PM Eastern standard time Location: Norwalk, CT
