Three "star-like" objects were spotted heading north from 9:30-9:32 and 11:00-11:05 at night.

At 9:30 at nigh, while my friend and I were ;ooking at the stars, we spotted a "star-like" object moving norhtwest. At first we thought it was a satellite, but it was moving much faster.After about 30 seconds it dissapeared. Then, right after that, another of these objects appeared (moving northeast) and after about 2 minutes it took off in the blink of an eye. Lastly, at his house, another of my friends spotted another of these objects moving north at 11:00 at night. He kept watching it untill it took off in the blink of an eye at 11:05 During the 9:30-932 sighting there were around three airplanes flying around, but they didn't seem to follow or even notice the objects because the objects were much higher and looked like ordinary stars.



NUFORC Note:

We suspect the witnesses may have observed the three satellites, which are thought to be part of the U. S. Navy "NOSS" satellite surveillance system. One of three reports from the same witness. PD
