I was abot 14 years old when I was watching the stars and satellites in the nice dark country setting. I watch the sky every night all summer. But wone night I looked south and there it was in the sky. A reddish orange oval object just stationary. At first I thought irmt was a plane from air force base. Soon after I was watching about 5-7 mins all of a sudden it went zoom straight up. It was so quick is was goymt instantly. I never told no one cause I thought they would think I was crazy or something. Also I thought who would believe a kid.
