Witnesses: Just me and my girlfriend, who heard me freaking out on the phone.
Description:
While out for a walk, I was admiring the clear night sky with the moon and Jupiter visible. As I pointed out the beauty to my girlfriend, I noticed three dim lights aligned in a straight line beneath the moon (located mid-high in the west). Suddenly, they swooped down, accelerated north at an astonishing speed, executed a 270° turn in about 1.5 seconds, then shot straight up at a steep 45° angle before vanishing.
In the midst of my astonishment and shouting, “WHAT THE F*** IS THAT?”, I tried to rationalize what I was seeing. I first thought, “Could that be a jet?” but the night was eerily silent, with only distant plane sounds in the background. It didn’t behave like a jet either. Then I wondered, “Is it a drone?” However, it clearly moved in a way that a drone simply couldn’t.
When it made that sharp turn, I even entertained the idea of it being a bird reflecting light from the moon, but then it shot upwards with such incredible speed that I was left in disbelief. There’s no ordinary explanation for this sighting. I stayed outside for an additional 40 minutes, hoping to catch another glimpse, but nothing appeared.
What I witnessed last night was far from normal. After years of researching similar phenomena, I can confidently say that no known object or explanation accounts for what I saw.
Wow, that’s quite an intense experience! It sounds like you witnessed something very unusual and unsettling. The way you described the movements of the lights is definitely intriguing, especially the sharp turn and rapid ascent. It’s understandable that you were in disbelief and trying to rationalize what you saw—many people instinctively look for familiar explanations in moments like that.
Considering you’ve researched this phenomenon, it must be even more perplexing for you, knowing that what you experienced didn’t match any conventional aircraft or natural occurrence. It’s fascinating how a clear night sky can lead to such unexpected sightings. Have you thought about reporting this to any local UFO organizations or communities? They might find your account interesting, especially since you were able to observe it so clearly.
