Has the night sky been calling to you lately?, page 2

I think the reason that the night sky, the stars and beyond calls to us is because a lot of us realise that our true home lies out there, not down here on this third rock from the Sun.

We gaze up to the stars above and feel a yearning, an aching to go back from whence we came. We feel it deep down in our souls even if we don't understand it.

One day we will all go back there but we are here on Earth for a reason, whilst we are figuring out that reason the best things we can do is work hard, have a happy and positive outlook on life and always do the right thing in every situation.

Here is one of my favourite astronomy photos:

I'm pretty sure loads of peeps look at the night sky.... why not?

It's great to look at with those stars and constellations... I see Sirius every clear night twinkling or winking... changling colours... also like looking at the Moon

Can I ask why to look for these patterns? I only ask, because I tend to look for these and I don't know why. During really cold nights with no cloud in site - I love to stare into the darker parts of the sky and what all the stars blink - it's incredible.

I have been drawn to the sky for many years - most recently I witnessed what could have been a UFO a few months ago. I live in the middle of nowhere so we can see a lot of stars where we are. Anyway, I was outside having a smoke when I saw a white orb come into view - almost looked like a shooting star - but it was much slower, like a helicopter. Across the road and above my neighbors trees it slowly moved and all I could see was a white orb. It hadn't been higher than 20 to 50 feet above the trees and it made absolutely no sound. It crossed over the street and hid behind a row of trees we have on the side of our yard and then took a sharp right turn and took off. I couldn't see exactly how fast it was moving, but it moved a LOT faster than any helicopter I've seen. We have a lot of aircraft flying over where I live and I know it isn't anything I've seen before.

I've always been drawn to the sky, but I've been more determined than ever to see something different than the norm. I also find myself staring a lot at Orion and Cassiopeia, but I mostly lean back on my car and just watch the whole night sky. If I could I would do it all night long, but the cold air makes it difficult. I do have to say that I've seen more satellites than normal.

That's fascinating Rozak! I have questioned some of the "planes" that fly over our house. One in fact I swear looked like a big ball of light, but as soon as it came closer, the lights on the plane started to flicker like a plane, but they didn't look normal. The lights usually go off back and forth, but this one had NO pattern to it. Plus, the sound of the plane came WAY later than normal as well. I could have been a plane, but it was VERY odd compared to the many I see every night when I'm outside.

Something very unnerving & strange happened last night. Please read!!!
