The year, and month I could not confirm, and it makes me mad that I did not write it down. The day and time are accurate. I was operating my pontoon boat slowly with my friend and his wife who are religious Republicans and I am an atheist Democrat who enjoys seeing the night sky to hopefully view meteorites and satellites which are easy to recognize because of the flight across the night sky. Airplanes bore me. I also have seen two or three objects move across the sky which I assumed were satellites. My friend saw the still object first and told me to look up, so I did and said, "So what, it probably is a planet except I know planet's path is in the southern hemisphere. After viewing it for about a minute, it took off vertically into deep space slightly faster than the speed of a satellite. I told my friend that had to have been a UFO, he said, "More than likely it was one of ours". One week later, I was on my dock by myself and at the same time and location in the sky, the event was duplicated. About a year later, I contacted a man who belonged to Mufon and he said it was one of ours. That was a lie, because we do not have anti-gravity spacecraft unless ETs have helped us create one. I can understand a coverup because fear of paranoia could occur amongst the religious who still believe god created us in his image.
