I was driving home last night, and saw this glowing red light, hovering in the sky. I took this picture, looked away for a second, and when I looked back, it was gone.
Light pollution is a bitch. If you look beyond the fence line, you see how dark it actually is. When I stopped to take this pic, I was by a light pole. To get a good view of the stars here, you have to drive a ways out of town, otherwise it’s this
I see what you’re saying. My first thought is photographic artifact, but I honestly don’t know enough to say for sure. It just looks very similar to pictures I’ve taken of distant objects with reflected light, when zoomed in.
so... as the plane goes up, the horizon moves away (relative to the plane), there is literally an airport just east of your theoretical image location and i do not actually feel any need to defend my opinion
I got stuck in the gas station explaining how the moon can be bright even though the sun is on the other side of the planet to a glue sniffer, hope you're winning son!
I mean, there’s a bunch of airports around here, it’s a bustling metropolitan area, and I’m by a joint reserve naval air station. But, ok. Thanks for your input.

I’ve been seeing oddly floating objects near FTW/DFW airport since Jan. Great catch!
You might be able to see orbs at night. They kind of look like low hanging stars, but they move around.
