Summary : I was walking on a county road looking at the stars as I often do When I noticed a star becoming brighter, Then to my amazement it moved! It swooped with amazing speed towards the horizon. When it reached its destination it proceedeed to hover for a period of one to two minutes. I took cover behind a large bush along side the road. It had three lights on the craft that spun counter-clockwise and another beacon light that was on top of the craft that remained stationary. Then there was a tremendous flash and the object shot across the sky in a south-easternly direction and had disappeared within seconds. behind the Quien Sabe Mountains. was out of sight within seconds
