Details of Incident:
My brother and I went outside to have a smoke and then noticed a moving, multicolored light in
the sky. It would move only a few degrees, both vertically and lateraly. It wasn't a specific
color, but changed colors. It would bob and move in small circles. It also seemed to have a two
prominent spikes; one going off to the left, and one off the top. The object looked as though
it were no closer than a satellite. (However, my brother and I speculated that this could not
be a satellite because it didn't move enough, it changed colors, and it was in roughly the same
spot over a period of about two hours. Both of us are sure it wasn't a star--it was too big and
moved; however, if forced to guess what this object was, I would have to say a large star whose
light was bent by oscillations in the earths atmosphere..is that possible? I did take several
pictures with a manual camera--they are being developed. I wonder if there is an agency (NASA
maybe?) who can scan the pictures, identify the stars, and then tell me what the object is? Can
anyone help me? Anyone else see this? E-mail me at: ((e-address deleted)) As soon as I have the
pictures (if they turn out), I will provide a link for people to examine them.
((NUFORC Note: We suspect a twinkling star may have been the cause of the sighting. PD))
