For some reason people in the military and government are trolling the public, perhaps as part of a campaign to discredit news agencies.

Yes, 15 eyewitnesses at encounter #2 and 7 for encounter #3. The first one was just me alone backpacking. I doubted it until I realized this was not an uncommon thing to see based on other accounts I soon learned about.
Day or night? Quite a few of these turn out to be commercial airplanes at night.
All the people there with me ruled out all the logical possibilities too, most of them were skeptics (including myself) before we saw them. We still joke about the ordeal when we see each other.
I was a skeptic of a lot of things until I saw some flying orbs around Mount Shasta, California last October. I saw similar moving orbs again in upstate NY this year on two occasions. I don't know what I saw but they were not weather balloons, satellites, planes, planets, stars, or meteors. Anyone here ever see something similar?
Could you provide a little more detail as to what they looked like, how they moved, etc.?
Strange thing was during encounter #2, they appeared in the spot in the sky 2 nights in a row.

They moved around in a non-linear fashion at will, they were intelligently operated. One of them disappeared in a flash...
I reckon it's misdirection. "We'll say it's a UFO, but really it's a hypersonic plane in development." Just like the SR71 had a cover story during its development phase. "The wreckage was recovered in two days, and persons at the scene were identified and requested to sign secrecy agreements. A cover story for the press described the accident as occurring to a F-105, and it is still listed in this way on official rec…

Maybe considered ball lightning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_lightning

Yes I have. I posted about it in an unrelated article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18367198 I’d make a correction though. It was not as fast as a super fast bird but more akin to a lightning fast game of laser tag or air hokey. The weirdest thing is that for some reason it immediately impressed on me that this was technology.
It's interesting for sure. It's a mystery. Could be intentional misdirection by the government, could be beings from another planet or dimension, could be something I can't even wrap my brain around.
Far from improving the situation positing other dimensions which we have no proof exist, and beings that we have no proof even can exist seems to make the theory much weaker not stronger.

I used an astronomy app on my phone to verify the satellites, planets, stars, meteors part. They moved around in a non-linear fashion at will, they were intelligently operated. One of them disappeared in a flash...
