Occurred : 9/2/2011 20:45 Reported: 9/2/2011 9:22:06 AM 09:22 Posted: 10/10/2011 Location: Des Moines, IA Shape: Unknown Duration: 1 minute Characteristics: There were lights on the object
Sometime after 8:30, I went home with my mother and after parking in the driveway, I looked up (facing north) as always. Everything seemed to be normal and I could hear fireworks going off. After looking for awhile I could spot the Big Dipper on the left of me and the moon on the far right. In between that, more towards the left (West), there was just a random dot of light, then it disappears, and another would show up but far from the first. This happened around 5-7 times and in different section of the sky between Big Dipper and the moon. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD))
