SIGHTING: HUGHSON, CALIFORNIA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"It was just after dinner, i went out in the backyard to smoke and i was looking at the stars. i took a walk past my house to view venus. when i turned north to walk back to my house i noticed a bright white low flying ( under the cloud ceiling) object. looked like a huge star. i watched the object trying to get a clear idea of its path. it moved in out and then back under the clouds. the clouds were moving as it was windy. the object was moving from the northwest it came straight south the stopped for a few seconds then it shot very fast to the east. the cloud cover was gone at this point. it then stopped again. from here it went extremely fast south again only to look as if its light was fading out almost completely. there were no clouds above my head where the object was. it fell rapidly ( the object seemed to come straight down and stopped again for a few more seconds as it then sped so fast south east. there were clouds to the south east of my house and the object was again moving in and out of the cloud cover. the object then faded behind the clouds,. i am an avid sky watcher. i know how fast things have gone above my head. be it a plane or drone or helicopter. this thing went from above modesto 14 miles to my north to above snelling 15 miles to my south east in no more than 25 seconds. definitely something unusual. this was great to see but was a bit sad that i didnt have my camera"
