| I saw a short teardrop shape brighter than Mars with a small bright object following, with a bright letter " D" in the center. Don't get me wrong, I don't think this was a space ship. I witnessed an object in the sky that was brighter than Mars. I grabbed a low powered telescope that I own and took a closer look. It had a short round tear drop shape with five distinct trails. The longest trail was the center, and immediately following the center trail was, what I thought to be a moon. Several observations lead me to believe this was more than common siteing of a planet. The first was a bright "D" shape in the middle extending from the top of the tear drop. An arch extended from the center of the straight part of the letter "D" downward toward the bottom of the raindrop. The other thing that grabbed my attention is the fact that the darn thing was moving. It was everything I could do to get four good looks at the thing. I drew a couple of pictures of what I saw, but when I went to take another look at the thing it was gone. ((NUFORC Note: We have had several similar reports from NM, AZ, and TX recently, which makes us wonder whether there may be a high-altitude, helium-filled research balloon in the skies above those states. That is just a guess. PD)) |
