SIGHTING: LAKIN, KS
Witness Testimony
"Single brilliant light moving from southwest to northeast at moderate speedOn a Saturday night in June of 2011 I saw a brilliant white light moving from southwest to northeast in southwestern Kansas. Moved very steadily, taking about 10 minutes to move across a very clear moonless night sky. Much lower than a jet liner and no blinking lights of any kind. No air traffic at that time about 1 hour after sunset.On September 24, 2011 I saw the same brilliant light about 1 hour after sunset – same trajectory. No air traffic, moon not up yet. This time though, about ¾ of the way across my viewing area the light switched off and then there was a very small, faint reddish light continuing on for about 5 more seconds and then it blinked out also. I was talking to a friend on my phone at the time and was telling her what I was seeing. Just moments after the light went out the first air traffic I had seen all evening appeared heading nearly due east, from lights and altitude this would have been a jet liner.Will be checking every Saturday night when possible – will report if seen again.((NUFORC Note: Possible satellite or ISS?? PD)) "
