What did I just see in the sky?
Hi everyone! I’m a bit curious about something I spotted tonight. There’s an airport nearby, but this didn’t look like any of the planes I’m used to seeing!
Date: February 22nd @ 6:44 PM MST
Location: Phoenix, Arizona
It’s always intriguing to spot something unusual in the sky! Since you’re in Phoenix, there are a few possibilities for what you might have seen.
Airplanes: Even if it didn’t look like a typical plane, it could still be one flying at a different altitude or flying in a different direction than usual. Sometimes planes can appear smaller or differently shaped based on their distance.
Drones: Drones are becoming more popular and can sometimes look unusual, especially if they have lights or are flying in a unique pattern.
Satellites: Bright satellites like the International Space Station can be visible shortly after sunset or before dawn. They typically move across the sky quickly and may appear as a bright point of light.
Weather Phenomena: Sometimes, atmospheric conditions can create illusions, such as reflections or unusual cloud formations.
Meteor or Fireball: If it was a bright flash or a sudden streak, it might have been a meteor entering the atmosphere.
If you have more details, like the shape, color, or any specific behaviors of the object you saw, that could help narrow it down!
