Occurred : 8/1/1970 18:45 (Entered as : 08/01/70 1845) Reported: 12/15/1998 04:03 Posted: 1/28/1999 Location: Racine, HI Shape: Unknown Duration: 1 minute Characteristics: There were lights on the object, The object changed color
At night, observed a silent color changing object fly through the sky. My self and two friends were looking at a white light approximately 1/2 mile away across a valley. From the way it was going on and off, we thought it was someone walking through the trees with a flashlight. Then the light became steady and started rising into the sky. It then began moving quickly to the North-East. Suddenly it stopped as if it had hit a wall. It remained motionless for about two seconds then the light changed to orange remaining motionless for about two more seconds then resumed the same course at a very high rate of speed. After a short time the light changed to red and the object appeared to double in speed. Within a few seconds it was out of sight. When it passed by we were approximately 1/4 mile away, yet we did not hear a sound.
