Look I can't recall the date exactly, but it was in that area of time especially the hour of night. It could be in a range of two weeks or so from the date.

This is what I saw. I was sitting on the side steps at my house smoking a cigarette (tobacco). And I looked up at the sky and I saw an object moving fast threw the sky at amazing speed. The tail seemed to be on fire. Not a long tail at al short but burning. Well i thought it was an afterburner. You know ex Navy here aircraft-carrier duty. But the fire went out and through the dark I could see a circular object moving through the sky still at a fast rate of speed. This thing was moving. So i said don't get spooked out to myself and waited for sound of the turbines. But guess what the sound never came. So then I was spooked out. I don't know why I waited this long to report it sorry.

Oh yea this thing was'nt small either it was fairly big. Well it scared the shit out of me. Later!! Oh yea i ain't ((deleted--attempting to fool)) ya niether I know what i saw.
