SIGHTING: AMERICAN FORK, UTAH (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"At approximately 4:43 am I was in my back yard having a cigarette. The sky was crystal clear, and as usual I was looking up at the sky, looking at the Orion constellation. Then in front of me I saw a bright green, white, blue, light with a tail. Reminding me of a falling star, except much larger, and slower. Then I thought of the meteor over Russia. As I watched this object, I had time to think how big it appeared, and that it was traveling silently. It lasted several seconds, 4-8. As it moved across my field of vision the tail seemed to be sparking, or breaking off in pieces. It was close enough that I expected to hear a crash, as it seemed to be traveling in a downward direction. As it travelled behind structures and out of my sight, I thought I should go see if I could find it, thinking that it would have come down very close. I did not go though. I do not know what it was. I know it was not a simple falling star. It was way to big, and moving way to slow. "
