"Anyone here ever see something similar? "

Nobody who wasn't off their face on drugs or mentally ill probably, no.

"they were not weather balloons, satellites, planes, planets, stars, or meteors."

Other than little aliens in magic flying machines what do you think they could have been?

i think the whole bit implying that one has to be mentally ill or on drugs to see such a thing is kind of made in bad faith. for what it's worth, i certainly suffer from mental illness and i have been "out of this dimension" in terms of drug abuse in the past so to speak and i certainly have never witnessed such a thing in my life. so i find it hard to believe either of those things would make one more likely to perceive such things and view them in such a manner. if anything id be more willing to say that it would more likely be someone who has an overactive sense of confirmation bias, but of course I have no idea.
