SIGHTING: DAVENPORT, IOWA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"Looking North from my porch I noticed a Solid, Bright, Red and Orange glow in the sky moving Southwest. It would move slowly then stop and then shortly after begin moving again. The Red glow appeared higher than the the orange and was smaller in size to the orange color. The red glow also appeared to faintly outline a triangle, though that may have been lens flare from the brightness of the red glow. I brought my family out to witness this event and they all saw it briefly. It moved itself behind a neighbors tree at which point I left my yard to position myself in a better viewing angle. It was at this point I never regained visibility of the object. I drove around town toward the North and West away from city lights and had no success in viewing the object again. About thirty minutes after the incident there was a helicopter in the sky with their searchlight pointed outward, rather than downward. That concluded everything that happened during the event. I felt the object was odd due to the color, movement, and shape, which is why I told my family to come out and look. I have always wanted to see something like this and having seen this object, which I cannot explain, left me feeling excited! I took a short video with my phone which is a Samsung S3 and the quality was such garbage I don't want to use it unless it is requested. It looks like a white orb and I have only 5 seconds of it before it went behind the tree."
