Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted other objects

A light dancing and shooting in the sky , lots of diferent fast movements, changing in diameter.

I saw a light, looked like a star, It was moving in a strange way. At first skittering like a bug. So I was curious, I watched for a few minutes and it was dancing all over tthe sky. I went to get my camera and tried to take a picture with out much luck. Then I got my video camera and started to shoot it. It was a round circular light that was growing larger and smaller in diameter, it seemed to have some red and blue smaller lights spinning, althought this can't be seen as good on the video. It was also exploding like a firework on the 4th of July many times. This can be seen on the vidio. I continued to tape the light it was shooting across the sky faster the a shooting star at times. I had my zoom on it and it shot right out of the screen and back through it afew times really fast. It exploded out of sight. I went to get a new tape so I could try to get some more. It came back in sight. I shot some more without the zoom so I could get all of the movements. I got some more but not as intense as the beginning. After awhile longer it vanished. I was totally amazed I had called a friend to tell her. It was really something!

NUFORC Note:

If the object was not the star "Sirius," which we suspect it may have been, we do not know what the object was. PD
