Saw something in the sky last night, anyone seen this before?

I may have seen ball lightning twice. Once it was off in the distance moving horizontally in one direction and then it suddenly shifted to the opposite direction. The other time it presented as golf ball sized balls of light just in front of our parked car at a civil war burial ground. In both cases I was on the same mountain. If these weren't ball lightning then I'm going with a ufo in the first case and ghosts in the 2nd. Luckily I wasn't alone during each case.

When I was in the boy scouts, we stayed up and watched satellites go by. Our Astronomy instructor (merit badge) had them on a schedule because he was tracking them. Remember, the space station orbits the Earth like every 92 minutes...so other satellites in orbit can do the same depending on how far out they are. (which orbit)

To sum that up, from dusk until dawn, you could see the Space station like 5 times. Seeing 2 at once, moving in the same direction wouldn't be too far fetched....

I used to pull the lights off, and stick them to my fingernails. Feel kind of bad about it now.

All the young guys are like "ew, why would you catch fireflies? didn't you have an XBOX to play? don't you have to go outside to catch fireflies?"

You admit that you listen to Alex Jones Coast to Coast garbage?

It hurts my brain to listen to that guy.

I haven't listened to him in years actually. I like the discussions on alien and UFO stuff. Alternative media can be fun.

And it isn't Alex Jones.

Were you on higher elevation (e.g. a balcony, cliffside, etc), and were the lights closer to the horizon or more dead in the sky? It's likely that they were just a couple of drones off in the distance.

Nope just ground level, they were pretty high on the horizon like at least 70 degrees or so from horizon heading a bit lower but I lost them as they moved further down as the shed and trees were in the way. I don't think they were drones, at least not civilian ones.

I'm kind of hoping I catch this again next time I'm at the camp fire. I hope whoever is with me sees it too this time so I don't look crazy.

May have also been space junk as suggested though I think that would travel in a perfect straight line would it? These were slightly altering their direction just keeping the same general direction. Basically smooth zig zags in no orderly way.

Really sounds like ball lightning. You probably won't see it again, unfortunately.
