{rjl} Shined light at a
My friend and I were outside of my house early in the morning watching the sky for shooting stars and U.F.O.s. We have both noticed strange things in the sky since the Perseid meteor shower in summer 2016. There were many satellites visible all night long. I took a bright flashlight and started to shine it at things I saw in the sky. Around 5 a.m. our other friend and his girlfriend arrived from work. While we were talking I saw what I thought was another satellite. It came from the south and stayed on one path until I shined my light on it. I shined it over and over and it turned around back towards us. My friends girlfriend jokingly told me to stop trying to get abducted! We were all commenting how satellites don't move like that!When it was almost directly above us it stopped completely. I turned my light on and off and the "satellite" got brighter and dim again, like it was using a dimmer switch for a light. It seemed to respond to my light,but who knows.I would shine it, it would flash back. I did this 2 or 3 more times until it started moving and looking just like a satellite again until it dissapeared over the treeline. We all thought it was a cool experience but none of us were shocked by it. Almost any clear night we see bizarre things above my place. I chose to tell this because its the most witnesses I've had at one time. I've had more experiences at the same location, one of which is so crazy sounding to most people I won't even tell my friends because I believe they will think I am mentally-ill. It had me questioning my own sanity.
