Witness Testimony

"I was star gazing . There were some clouds in the sky ...the moon was bright and full ...I noticed there were only a few stars or planets visible . Just as i was obseggrving this a bright white "planet" high above in the stratosphere came out of a cloud slowly and moved about 3-4" in my field of view and just stopped as if it saw me from miles above .I estimate the distance it actually travelled at about 40-50 miles ...It just stopped and never moved again Unfortunately i was tired and i watched it for further movement for about 15 minutes but i had to go in cuz the skeeters were getting me ..."
