SIGHTING: PUEBLO, COLORADO (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"1. I was in my back yard hoping to catch a few shooting stars from the meteor shower on my camera. I had just set my camera down to self start when I looked up to wait and see what the camera might pick up. (I did NOT get this on camera. *sigh*)2. I first noticed the object because I was already looking for any movement and shooting stars. It caught my eye because it came right into view of where I was looking in the sky for shooting stars.3. When I first saw it, I thought it was a plane.4. It was flying from south to north. It changed direction in a L shaped pattern and flew east for a few seconds, changed directed in a L shaped pattern and flew north for a few seconds, changed direction again to the east in an L shaped pattern, and then again north in an L shaped pattern. It disappeared suddenly without going behind any objects that would have hidden it from view. Also, when I first witnessed it, it appeared to be high up in sky, when it was directly overhead it was lower and more clear, as it moved away it rose in elevation again.5. I was not very scared at first because I did think it was a plane. But as it grew closer and started to move around in the sky, I grew scared. I am a night sky fan and love to watch meteor showers, lunar eclipses, comets, and so on. So, in all the years I've been sky gazing I'd NEVER seen anything like this before. I was TOO scared to even go back out and view the rest of the meteor shower. I had run in to post my sighting on facebook.6. I lost sight of the object when a bright meteor traveling along the same path intersected it. When the meteor evaporated so did the object. I couldn't see it again after that."
