SIGHTING: COLUMBIA, MISSOURI (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I was with my little brother night fishing at a friends pond. I noticed a bright object appear to the north that then faded to the brightness of the rest of the stars. I thought it might be an airplane but didn't see any navigation lights, which I thought was curious. The object look like a star but was moving across the sky so I then thought it might be a satellite but moving much faster than satellites that I had seen in the past. I kept watching as it traveled across the sky and then it turned upward and as it ascended it faded out. I was trying to get my brother to look but by the time he turned it was gone. I then called my Dad and let him know what just occurred. "
