Seen something in the sky?

Sightings is where people report what they've seen in the sky, compare notes and look for answers together.

Works in any modern browser. The Mac app needs macOS 13.1 or later.

Mac app won't open?

We're still waiting on Apple to approve our developer certificate, so macOS warns that it can't verify the app. Until that's sorted:

Unzip the download and drag Sightings into your Applications folder.
Open it once. When macOS blocks it, click Done.
Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway next to Sightings.

If macOS says the app is damaged, run this in Terminal, then open it again:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Sightings.app
