266 degrees W. I am in Georgia.
Roundish, greenish with many flashing lights. Stationary for now. The time is 1000 pm.

It is still there. I want to get a telescope with a camera. Is there such an animal? Hi Mia. Yes , there are a couple of different methods a person can use when taking pics through a telescope. Look up tips on astrophotography,,, there are many sites out there over the web. Youtube has tips also so you can see firsthand what they're doing. Even a smaller quickshot camera will work by just placing the cameras shutter lined up with the eyepiece . Just focus the scope until you see a good image on the camera's screen, but you might have to zoom in slightly to avoid what is called 'vignetting' so that the round black appearance doesn't show up around the border of the image. With a little bit of practice you should have it down in no time. I think even a small refractor telescope would do the job and they can be purchased for around $ 50 - $75 . If you have a DSLR camera you may want to purchase a t- adapter that attaches to the camera and the end of the telescope for even better ( yet far more expensive) quality shots. Good luck. I hope this helps. Cliff

This process can be tricky however because of the alignment between the shutter and the eye piece of the camera. The main thing is to avoid scratching or damaging the lens on the telescope or shutter . Avoiding direct contact between the 2 is the key. If you need any tips, send a p.m. and feel free to ask.

It was stationary for about 50 minutes then slowly dropped down behind the tree line.

www.ufodigest.com/article/what-heck-going-there Here's an article I came across, I'll look for more. I'll check Ufostalker next and see if there are other reports close to your area. My fiance has family there and I also have an online friend in Ga. so I'll ask around and see if others may have witnessed anything as well.

Did it show up in the same location as the first time you saw it?

earthsky.org/brightest-stars/bright-orange-arcturus-use...Mia, in this article there is a chart that shows a star which is shown in relation to the handle of the big dipper (Ursa Major) . The stars name is 'Arcturus'. It is in the constellation of 'Bootes'. We've already discussed Saturn, Mars, and Spica and I think it is safe to rule them out as candidates. It is the only other bright celestial candidate I can think of that would be in this area at this time. Some people describe this star as 'red and green lights flashing'. Check in the comments section below the article . A commentator describes it similarly. Atmospheric 'distortion' or 'aberration' causes an effect on stars making them appear to the observer to change colors and twinkle, especially when they get close to the horizon on nights when the upper atmosphere's conditions are unsettled. If it isn't Arcturus or some other celestial object then I am stumped. ,,,I hope this helps. Cliff

Keep in mind that the chart of the big dipper in relation to Arcturus in the article above is showing in the eastern sky. For this time of year facing west it will be on the opposite side spun around but I think you'll get the idea for reference.

Cliff, the Big Dipper is on the other side of our pasture. There are no stars around this. Here is another sighting from someone else. I think this makes five or six others who appear to have seen the same thing in different states.
2012-09-03 2012-09-03 {dr}Went out for another night, and spotted the same objects. Florala AL, US
My husband, and I were walking back from our friends house toward our house on 5th avenue, and I started looking for the objects I had seen the previous night. I found them with no trouble after looking up into the sky. This time, however, I only counted two objects which my husband also verified that he could see as well. The objects were hovering in the sky, and continued to blink different colors (red, blue, yellow/white) as opposed to pulsating as they had done the night before, but they were still located in the same approximate areas as the night before. I am going to try to get them on film the next time I look.

Hi Mia. Which direction is this (these) objects ? There is a slight possibility that if the altitude and weather conditions are right that I might be able to see it from Missouri. I recall you saying in the pm that your neighbor was thinking it was Mars so I was under the assumption that it was west or southwest. Mars and Saturn set about 10:30 or so and will continue to set earlier as each day progresses. =============================================================== It was stationary for about 50 minutes then slowly dropped down behind the tree line. Read more: theedgeofreality.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ufos&action=display&thread=2731#ixzz25SU2B8Td=============================================================== If it happens to possibly be in the eastern sky by some chance then this would rule out any celestial object since they all set in the west. As of now, the big dipper is in the northwestern sky and arcturus is even more due west. That chart shows it in the eastern sky but that was from several months ago and it has now rotated about 120 degrees since. To rule out any and all celestial objects, time and direction I think will help solve this. If it is a celestial object I'll be able to tell from my location. If it is something else , then it would depend on altitude and weather conditions between here and there. I was able to see an object launch from Cape Canaveral the other morning to my surprise. Who would've thought that to be possible ? I hope we can solve this . Skywalker knows more about ufology then I do. I wished Steve were here too. It very well could be a celestial object, man made , or possibly even e.t. I'm not a ufologist but I do know the sky as an amateur astronomer and have seen stuff that I cannot explain. If you happen to see any pics from some of these witnesses, please post. I'll keep an eye out also for reports and pics as they come. I looked around in your area for reports the other day on ufostalker when you posted this and there was a visit reported of grey beings. I can relate to this all too well as strange as that sounds...

Hi, I am in Georgia, just south of Atlanta. The object was at 266 degrees west. If I turn my body a quarter turn, the object would be between the 2 and 3 on a clock if that makes sense to give you an idea how high it was in the sky. It remained stationary for almost an hour both times I saw it but only took around five minutes to drop down below the horizon to where I couldn't see it. Also, it lines up with the time of someone in Alabama seeing what I believe is the same thing- my sighting ended at 1120-ish the first time I saw it and someone in AL saw it starting around that time 180 miles away.
It sparkled so I am thinking that rules out planets. I have never seen anything that 'alive' in the sky before. It actually appeared to be constantly morphing, even turning on its side so I could only see a row of lights at times instead of the entire body.

Judging by the reports people are giving it doesn't sound like a star. Might be something else...a blimp possibly? Some big blimps that cruise over sporting events have lighted displays on the bottom that flash different pictures and messages as they are going over the stadium. From a distance and looking at the side though you can't see anything but weird multi-colored lights flashing on and off. Blimps have been mistaken for UFOs before.
This doesn't really sound like a blimp either though. I would have to see a picture to know for sure. If the thing keeps showing up maybe sooner or later somebody will take some photos of it.

At around 5AM, I walked out my back door onto the porch to check for deer in the field. I looked up at the stars as I usually do and observed a sphere of light, resembling a star in relative size, but which constantly and rapidly changed colors from red to blue to white, in no discernible pattern. I watched the object for approximately 30 minutes. At that point I came back inside with the "star" still in its place, more or less. It seemed to move but not go anywhere, if that makes sense. At that point I returned to the house, as I had seen these lights before, sometimes in greater numbers. I am still unsure as to what these lights are. I tried to take video of it, but as I only have a digital camera it just came out as a flickering pinpoint of light and does not do justice to what I saw. I came here hoping someone could give me a possible explanation to this phenomenon, whether it be mundane or not.

Over the past weeks ending in August threw early September I noticed many unknown flying objects in the same locations just outside the city limits of Charlotte North Carolina. As a pilot I can assure you that these aren't civilian craft or craft thought up by our mind as it is evolved to this point in our history. I believe the incidents to be a string of UFO related events. This last event included various military helicopter's following both the crafts and my car as I witnessed the events. I did bring camra's out for a few day's after my last sighting hoping to catch them on camra. After a few day's I assumed the sighting would end but obviously I made a mistake to assume that. Everytime I witness this I'm driving and one incident almost caused me to run off the road. Pretty amazing to witness!!! John (Pilot, Ex-military)

Another sighting?
2012-09-14 2010-01-05 they are out before the stars. they just hover, one will flash/blink mostly red, other mostly blue/green, the other white, other just seem to blink all of them. they are there every night. i have counted standing in one spot 12. but there are so many more NC, US
Every night for months I have observed objects in the night sky blinking lights of red, white, blue/green. They are hovering every night.Standing in one spot I have counted 12.But there are many more. I have Googled asking the question," does anyone know what they are"? I went to the NASA site, there were more people asking the same question, from Oregon, Canada, California and many more.Sometimes they will be one that has moved to another area, but I havent seen them move. These objects are out before the stars.. I also have noticed they are all located in the constellations It seems at least one in each. They seem to superimpose themselves to make it look like they are part of that star system. But they are much closer. A few times they have been close enough that I could see each individual light. They seemed to be just above tree top level. One of the objects will blink mostly red, one mostly blue/green and one white. The others seem to have all their lights pulsating. I thought it was the military. But I didnt know they had the capability and money to do something like this, especially some type of plane that can hover for hours every night 7 days a week. I read from the NASA site that people have been seening these objests several months before I noticed them. I go out every night it is clear and observe them. They are easy to spot after you get observing them nightly, but at first they look like a star. IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE. PLEASE SHARE WITH THE REST OF US.

Wow. One more.
2012-09-14 2012-09-12 (I thought it might of been a helicopter but it was night, it was too high up but not in the atmosphere and didnt shine any lights down. It just kept pulsating this blue, red and green lights. I was stumped especially when it flashed twice and slowy left. Pittsburgh PA, US
This was an object I had previously dismissed as being of explainable origin beginning the end of August. I looked out of my window my friend and I noticed a object just chilling in the air a pretty good distance away. I couldnt tell exactly how far away or high, but it was at least a mile away and it wasnt that high but it was not above the atmosphere. That was definitley apparent. So anyway what was weird about it was one is that I noticed this object previously and dismissed it as something weird or a really close planets because I know that this summer has been pretty cool for that kind of stuff. So we could not figure out what it was. We know what a plane is, we know what a helicopter is and what they do. We know about the most common things that are in the sky. Mostly. We know that satelites arent stationary so it couldnt be that. It was flashing and pulsating what looked like red, blue and greens lights almost like rotating around the object. So we said to eachother we will just ignore it for a while and then look and if its gone then we would just come to the conclusion that it was just super weird. So some time went by, I dont know hom much exactly maybe like 30 minutes. I looked over and right at that moment it flashed two bright flashes in my direction ( white light ), and slowing went away from us. It seemed slow but it was strange because it seemed like it was shrinking in a way and disappearing. Very weird ! And I wish I could explain it. Its there too often in the same spot that it could be aliens. Why there ?? Please help.
