SIGHTING: GLENDALE, ARIZONA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"At 9:04 pm, i was sitting on my front porch facing north. suddenly, i saw what seemed to be a shooting star slowly falling many miles northeast. unlike a shooting star, it never faded or left a trail; it remained a solid, glowing, very bright object of the same size. when it disappeared behind a house across the street, i wondered what it was, and even got scared that it could have been some strange glowing weapon (like someone was attacking us) - but settled on it being a shooting star, and started thinking about a wish to make. a few seconds later, jogging my mind for wishes, i was totally shocked when the same bright object immediately bolted upwards - and then, immediately jetted to the east. i have never seen anything like that before. i pulled out my phone, opened the camera app, and started recording video. i have 34 seconds, timestamped 9:05 pm, aimed at the spot i saw it happen - but it was too late. it only captured an airplane and helicopter nearby. this was absolutely, unmistakeably not any of the following: - a plane - a helicopter - a bug - something in my eye - fireworks i am sober, and not sleep-derived. and i'm completely stumped.
