They can be either satellites or high altitude planes. No UFOs sorry!
check this link to JPL to track satellites real time is called J-Track.

Be patient some times it is slow to load!
ENJOY!

It's very possible to see a satellite and I have done so once or twice a long time ago. It was easy in the early days of the space age because all the early satellites were in low Earth orbit. It was easy to find one as it moved from daylight to darkness in the early morning or late evening. Today, except for spy sats or scientific platforms, most are sent into geosynchronous orbit which is many times further from the Earth and even if you could see one it wouldn't t appear to move when seen from the ground.

A "alien provide" is strictly that: An unidentified flying merchandise. human beings see UFOs quite frequewntly and are unable to declare for particular truly what they are seeing. gentle refreactions, atmospheric disturbances, chemical substances, or mundane airplane can all be elements for alien provide comments. So particular, there are such themes as UFOs. Alien spacecraft...incredible...it truly is a few project else. i'd choose better effective than truly a rfile of a sighting. some project like a trend piece of alien tech will be a sturdy initiate up.

A typical satellite sighting consists of a faint moving "star" which may brighten or start out fairly bright when you notice it, and dim as it nears the horizon.
Are you sure you aren't just seeing a star such as Vega or Arcturus? Sometimes bright stars, especially when there's a lot of atmospheric turbulence or the star is on the horizon or your line of view comes close to a house or a building, the star will appear to twinkle different colors.

You can see some stallites when the light reflects off them in the right direction. The closer ones move across the sky pretty fast. The ones that stay in one place are too far to see. So yes, it is a U.F.O. Or maybe just a twinkling star?

Hi. White and green are the colors you would see on an airplane if you were looking on it's right side. But it should move if you look long enough.

sattelites can be seen from the ground. they look like bright stars that move in a straight line accross the sky, much slower than a shooting star, and much higher and with out flashing lights you would attribute to planes.

There are occasions on a clear night when you can see a satellite crossing the sky.

Yes you can see the satellite from ground. They are not UFOs

in fact you can see hundreds or more satellites from the ground depending on how clear the sky is and your vision will determine if you see the colors of the satallite.
