Remarks | I am 50 years old and have never seen anything like it. It was amazing because it lasted so long. We were out walking the dog and I was able to draw the attention of my grandson and my sister and we all witnessed it. We sat out on the deck for an hour after researching what it was in the hopes that we would see another. My neighbor reported seeing one out of his back yard around 9:30 last night as well. |

Remarks | when i first saw it, it appeared simply out of nowhere, it was traveling in a staight line across the sky in front of me, it was bright and then appeared to be breaking up or skipping if you will. Very hard to describe in words almost like a very bright rock being skipped across the sky. |
