SIGHTING: EDMOND, OK

Witness Testimony

" White bright light ascending at immense rate.Went outside for some fresh air. I always look straight up to the night sky as this was an exceptionally clear night when I spotted an unusually bright light seen to the East/SE. This was brighter than the North Star, but drifting to the SE.No navigational lights were observed-extremely bright light larger than the North Star.After observing for about 5 seconds, the object changed in scale and quality as if it was ascending(becoming smaller). The bright light transitioned in to a smaller point turning red.The observation ended when what was left of the object took a dramatic change in direction. It had appeared to ascend sharply in to the sky like a "J" shape hooking in to space with very great speed. A small very faint light trail of it's trajectory was left for a fraction of a second during these last moments.The speed was the most fantastic characteristic of the observation. "
