I've seen a lot of weird shit while observing the sky. I look up at the sky a lot. To me, an aircraft is something to always look at, kind of like a kid and a passing fire engine. I can't ignore them. In each instance of a weird sight, I was able to stare at the object long enough to figure out that it was an aircraft with the sun reflecting off it, or an Iridium satellite flare, or a planet, or the northern lights. One time I saw a couple hundred individual balloons in a cluster several thousand feet up. That was cool. Grabbed my binoculars for that one because I couldn't tell what they were.
When jets come in toward the airport during the day, and the sun is reflecting off their wings, you can see them when they are many miles out. They are all stacked up like a traffic jam, and seem to be right next to each other, even though they are spaced 2+ minutes apart. They also seem to be standing still, just hovering in the air if you are directly in front of them and they are flying toward you. It isn't until they turn and the sun doesn't reflect off them that they "dissapear." It can be a very striking effect.
So I haven't seen anything unexplained, but I have seen some weird stuff.
