NUFORC Sighting 17382

Occurred: 1977-07-15 23:30 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2001-04-24 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 3 to 5 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Douglas (Canada), ON, Canada

Shape: Light

A light, like a star, moving erratically, stoopng, then shooting off beyond the horizon.

With my sister-in-law we spotted a slowly moving "star" . Thinking it was a satellite, I pointed it out to my companion. We saw it stop and remain motionless for a short time, then start to move in a different direction, then stop again. This went on for a short time with at least five changes in direction at a low speed. Then suddenly the object left, disappearing over the horizon at enormous speed. There was no sense of acceleration-the motion was instantaeous and the light was gone in a few seconds.
