| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was standing on the step of my suv and looking at the moon when I saw it. It was a beautiful evening, and I paused to be quiet for a moment. The moon had partially risen, and was to the north when I saw what looked like a brilliant aircraft falling from the sky. It wasn't super high like a rocket. It was lower down and looked like a falling star, only it was too low for a falling star. It only lasted for a couple of seconds. I looked at the time on my car clock, and drove over to the rest of my family and teased them I just saw a ufo, and wondered if they had seen it. My daughter just sent me this link. So much for ufo's : -). |
