I saw something strange in the Lantana, FL sky last night around 8:15-8:30. I was driving to Lake Worth from Boynton Beach via Military Trail and I looked to the west in the sky and thought I saw an airplane tower that has the red light. But what I saw what looked like a star in the sky moving with red flames coming out of it, while it was moving to the East. After it stopped moving, I didn't see any red flames coming out of it, then It changed direction. I was looking for a blinking light you would see from an airplane and didn't see one. I was thinking what I saw last was either the Space Station or a UFO… ((NUFORC Note: Launch of Delta IV out of Cape Canaveral at 20:18 hrs., 18MR17: http://www.space.com/36117-wgs9-military-satellite-delta-iv-launch-photos.html PD)) ((NUFORC Note: Source of the report elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

I saw something strange in the Lantana, FL sky last night around 8:15-8:30.

I was driving to Lake Worth from Boynton Beach via Military Trail and I looked to the west in the sky and thought I saw an airplane tower that has the red light. But what I saw what looked like a star in the sky moving with red flames coming out of it, while it was moving to the East. After it stopped moving, I didn't see any red flames coming out of it, then It changed direction.

I was looking for a blinking light you would see from an airplane and didn't see one. I was thinking what I saw last was either the Space Station or a UFO…
