SIGHTING: INDEPENDENCE, IOWA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was outside having a smoke when I looked east towards sunrise and to the south, or, right of the sunrise I noticed a very bright star-like light in the sky that seemed to sort of hover. It was also sort of a silvery light. I ran in house to grab camera and when I got back out it had dimmed then got bright again and as I attempted to get picture of it, my batteries went dead (which had been going dead). Then it seemed to just disappear and when I asked it to please show it's self again it reappeared. I ran into house to grab cell phone and tried to get video and pics, but it kept disappearing when I tried filming or taking a pic. Then a cloud cover came and it appeared to go in and out of the cloud. I don't know if I have anything captured on cam yet, but will inspect pics and footage I did get later. Oh,and, My heart seemed to be racing really fast during whole sighting. Very strange but am unsure of what I was actually seeing, however, I know it was nothing like anything I've seen before!"
