No of observers: 1

Location: Flagstaff, AZ, USA

Shape: Orb

Stationary "star" light began to travel in straight lines

This may be moot because it was so long ago but I didn't realize you existed until now, for reporting.

I did a search for a similar sighting in my area at this time and did not find one.

Midnight over a dark-sky location, very clear night. I was watching the stars above me, when one of the lights which had been completely stationary, began to move in a straight line to the east. Then it made and abrupt turn to the north, then to the east again, then disappeared. It did appear exactly as a bright star in degree of light,size, color and distance from Earth.

This is my second sighting, the other occured about 30 years ago in California and was a traveling red orb along a freeway for about 2 miles at night in the Escondido vicinity, many drivers reacted to it by swerving out of their lane - I could see their lights behind me.

I am not a ufo chaser. I saw what I saw and that is all there is to it.
