Bright, shiny object that suddenly disappeared. While sitting in my car in my work place parking lot, I looked up into the sky and saw 3 trails shooting straight up into the air from what was normal aircraft. While watching this I noticed just above theses planes was a brightly shining object. I watched for about 2 minutes and the blinking object then diasappeared. Immediately following this, one of the planes took off and the other two soon followed. I took some pictures with my iPhone, while doing that several other aircraft appeared from different angles, and quickly took off in the same direction. In the next 15 minutes of this occurrence, i witnessed along with one of my co-workers approximately 10 more planes coming from the distance and just appearing. They all seemed to head in the same direction. I've never seen anything like this, and was hoping that maybe someone else had reported the same thing, or if I could get some kind of clarification. I called my fiance almost right after the incident just to see if there was anything on the news, but apparently not.

Bright, shiny object that suddenly disappeared.

While sitting in my car in my work place parking lot, I looked up into the sky and saw 3 trails shooting straight up into the air from what was normal aircraft.

While watching this I noticed just above theses planes was a brightly shining object. I watched for about 2 minutes and the blinking object then diasappeared.

Immediately following this, one of the planes took off and the other two soon followed. I took some pictures with my iPhone, while doing that several other aircraft appeared from different angles, and quickly took off in the same direction.

In the next 15 minutes of this occurrence, i witnessed along with one of my co-workers approximately 10 more planes coming from the distance and just appearing. They all seemed to head in the same direction.

I've never seen anything like this, and was hoping that maybe someone else had reported the same thing, or if I could get some kind of clarification.

I called my fiance almost right after the incident just to see if there was anything on the news, but apparently not.
