SIGHTING: MARION, NORTH CAROLINA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"We were about to come inside because my husband called me and my son to come in after his online meeting completed at 9 pm. we were relaxing outside under the stars after completing work outside in the yard. as we headed toward the door we saw what we think were satellites moving from w sky toward the se sky in a direct line the way satellites move and had no change in brightness. what was different was there were so many and almost all were evenly spaced and i stopped counting at 50. they moved slightly lower in the sky as it progressed. in the southern sky as this was happening there were three distinct flashes. one very bright, then medium brightness then small. also there were other smaller flashes in the sky towards the big dipper area. also there was something that seemed to be flying in the area of the satellites but we couldn't hear anything and din't look like a plane or jet or helicopter. after several minutes we finally sent one of us to go get the video camera but since it was star like size we really couldn't see well if we were pointed in the correct direction or got anything. we'll check later tonight but we didn't want to wait to put this out there in case anyone else happened to be looking at the same time we were. this will at least confirm for them that others saw it to. we would like to know if someone knows what this is going on. leave a message with any answers at the marion public library for anonymous citizen and i will get the message. if we do see something on the video we will come back and report again with the evidence."
