Location of Sighting: Bellevue, Washington
Date of Sighting: August 28, 2020
Time of Sighting: 10:30 PM PDT
Description: I was walking my dog through the park and back towards home. It was a very clear night and I gazed upward to view the stars. I witnessed two objects, which looked identical to other stars, move together in a synchronized manner. They were positioned ‘side by side’, they both made one full rotation, at the same speed, in a circular pattern and then one stopped moving, while it’s partner sped off in a NW direction at the speed of your average satellite. I will attach a diagram in order to explain the motion better.
I would also like to mention that recently, in this region, I have witnessed other ‘stars’ moving multi-directionally, though in a more fixed area. Normally the motion occurs up, down, side to side, and in semi-circles. Look for a very bright red one in the southern sky, that rises above the horizon at about 10:30 PM. This object is very active if you take time to look at it.

That same night I saw two brilliant white glowing objects move across the sky. They where coming from the west heading east. As I was watching the lights start to fad out I saw a third light coming from the same position from the west heading east on the same path. The amazing thing about this observation was the speed they were traveling. They crossed the whole path that I could visually see in two blinks of my eyes. I have never seen anything move at those speeds, not even a rocket launch.
My apologies. The very bright red orb I mentioned in the post script is about due east. It is very hard to miss. Once again, it rises above the horizon in my location at about 10:30. I am aware of the autokinesis effect, and I have a high degree of certainty I am not experiencing this when I say it moves and hovers about. I hope someone can look into this. Thank you.
The red object to the east could be the planet Mars. It is visible low on the horizon in your location at the time that you listed. Thanks.
