Time: 01/03/2025 22.55 AST Location: Northern Labrador I've held off putting this on here for over a month as I wanted to see if anybody else posted anything similar. On March 1st this year I was flying from Toronto to Keflavik (Iceland). For night flights, I always get a window seat on the side of the plane that faces north because...well, Northern Lights. At about 21.55 EST I saw a light in the distance at approximately our ten o'clock position at an altitude higher than we were (33,000 ft). Initially I thought it was a star. However, after watching for a few seconds it faded. Thinking this was unusual I kept on watching. After about twenty seconds it reappeared. It then descended to a similar altitude to us where I noticed a second light (this wasn't due to us banking right, by the way). The two lights then circled each other, the initial object continuing its pattern of fading and reappearing. After a minute or so of this, object 1 rose again to an altitude higher than that I initially spotted it at. Object 2 was nowhere to be seen. After another couple of cycles of glowing then fading it didn't appear again that I saw. I half expected this sub to have some reports or even ATC transcripts or recordings of this because I'd be very surprised if this wasn't seen by others, especially as this is prime time for transatlantic flights heading east. If it was starlink then they were performing very strange manoeuvres. Military activity? I've never seen lights on aircraft pulsate at such a slow rate. I tried getting videos but filming through an aircraft window at night is challenging. There is one video where you can see the light fade but there's no context to gauge movement or height. submitted by /u/filthythedog [link] [comments]
