NUFORC Sighting 14284

Occurred: 2000-09-26 21:00 Local
Reported: 2000-09-27 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 5 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Edmonds, WA, USA

Shape: Flash
Characteristics: Lights on object

We saw a bright light leave the atmosphere and continue into space.

I noticed an unusually bright light traveling rapidly through the upper atmosphere. I pointed it out to my girlfriend and commented it must be an aircraft flying high with a very bright light. The light looked more like a bright star than an actual aircraft light. The craft then suddenly appeared to be in space and the light was very faint and traveled in the same direction at a much slower rate, much like the way a satilite looks. The craft slowed down to a conplete stop for a few moments and then continued on slowly and then stopped again. The craft then held constant for several minutes and slowly disappeared.
