Question

ok, last night i was hanging on the deck wiht my friends. it was about 10:30 and one of us looked up at the moon. and there was this huge cirlce flying acrossed it. it was th color of fire. it couoldnt have been a plain cause the lights werent blinking and there was no stuff after it. it couldnt have been a commet because there was no tail. my g-pa used to be in the military and he is really smart and he saw it and didnt even know what it is. it cleared the sky in nabout 15 seconds. it went by 3 times, each time it was about 5 min. apart. then the 3rd time it went a different ddirection and never came back. im wondering i any one else saw it. and what tey think it might be. i know i saw it , cause about 13 other people did and we werent drunk.i think it was alien

Answer 1

UFO, cool :)

Answer 2

it was a alien i was in puerto rico and saw the same thing it flew over me people said it was gorverment but i dont think so because it was going so fast and it just suddently dissapeard.

Answer 3

It was probably meteors and/or space junk burning up as it entered the Earth's atmosphere.  There's tons of stuff up there, and lots of it enters our atmosphere.  

I highly doubt it was the same object all three times.  

There are two meteor showers going on currently, the Delta Aquarids and the Alpha Capricornids.  

I saw a large meteor myself about a week ago.  It burned bright orange and was (in apparent size) about the same size as the planet Jupiter is right now (pretty darned bright).  It moved across the western sky, from south to north, and didn't appear to change altitude before it burned up and disappeared.

Answer 4

there are more stars in the visible night sky then all the grains of sand on all of earths beaches so the chances off an alien community finding our grain of sand is so unlikely  but it could happen and then them being able to travel here it just down right crazy. but i saw something like that a couple weeks ago  so hey.

Answer 5

I really think that by your information it was a U.F.O.  because a few years ago there was going to be an eclipse and my dad went to go get his camera to take a picture of it and right when he took the picture,  he was completely positive that he had taken a picture of an U.F.O.  I am still very astonished of that picture and stopped wondering what that could have been a long time ago.

Answer 6

If it appeared to fly across the Moon, the Moon's brightness would have kept you from seeing small lights.  It's very possible it was a plane or helicopter, even a private plane.  Comets don't move that fast and hang around for weeks, even months.  They appear to be stationary in the sky during the night.  

I don't think it was an alien.  The chances of aliens getting past the thousands of satellites in orbit undetected, all the telescopes watching the sky every night, flying around in front of a few people and then disapeering?  Not going to happen.
