Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object
Still light object accelerates to right in night sky and disappears.
At approximately 10:15 PM, Thursday 8/27/09, I was star gazing in my back yard. I was looking at the Bid Dipper constellation, and a previously still and fainter star nearby began to move. The star like object made a short, slight awkward movement downwards, then accelerated about 5 inches to right in the sky according to my perspective. After accelerating very quickly to the right for a short moment, it disappeared from view. No flash or anything, just disappeared. The object appeared just like a star in the sky, white and twinkling. I am a recent college grad and interested in the ufo phenomenon. The object did accelerate in a way that is consistent with some other videos of lights moving I have seen. Slow, then very quick acceleration.
