First ufo sighting
I’m a sound and healthy mind. Now that it’s out of the way time for the story.
It was a little bit past 8:30 PM nights ago and I was outside observing airplanes since the backyard is pretty clear of trees or any kind of coverage. I had my telescope and binoculars with me. My routine is pretty simple. I opened up my flight tracking app and then whenever there’s an aircraft that I want to take a look at I just look at it with my binoculars before going into the night when I start using my telescope for stargazing. I have been able to pick up an airplane flying north however it was at this time that I saw a red orange orb flying. I want to estimate 10,000 to 15,000 feet in the air. I figured perhaps satellite, but then it went from north to West to south to west before disappearing by fading out. Anybody else seen something like that here

i want to help the community and the world be a better place
We launched Hoop Greensboro about 2 months ago, and somehow we’ve already booked 25 events. That’s 25 birthdays, school events, team parties, and community gatherings that trusted us to bring something fun and different — and we don’t take that lightly.
Starting something from scratch is always a little nerve-wracking, but the support from this community has made it way easier (and way more fun) than we ever expected.
If you’ve booked with us, shared a post, told a friend, or even just liked/commented — it genuinely means a lot.
We’re just getting started and have a lot more planned, but we wanted to pause and say we appreciate you.
If you see us around Greensboro, come say what’s up and take a few shots 🏀
