Full Report

I was 13 Years old hanging Christmas lights at approximately 7pm that evening with my father . As I handed him a string of lights to hang on the gutter of the house, A bright fast moving light caught the corner of my eye coming from due East to due West…I was able to focus my vision on it at about 90 degrees overhead and watched it silently dart westward at low altitude at a very high rate of speed. It “trimmed “its flight side to side as it sped westward, as was gone from site within 2 seconds of the initial sighting. The cloud cover was very low that night. The object was probably within 500 feet of the ground.I asked my father if he had seen it, to which he had replied no.

I have never officially reported this sighting to any agency to this day.

During my lifetime, I have worked in public service to many degrees, graduating with a degree in Law Enforcement in 1974, serving as an Auxiliary Police Officer with 2 agencies for a period of time in the 80s, and also graduating the State Fire Academy and serving as a part time Firefighter and EMT for a good part of the 90s.I know what I saw was real. I know it wasn’t anything that could possibly be man made. And at this time of my life I don’t care if those that doubt my observations cast a doubt on it. It’s their loss..
