Location: Bouse, AZ, USA

Shape: Cylinder
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

On 6/24/99 facing south, between 21:50-22:00, saw a cylinder w/domed head appear suddenly above Earth and towards the Moon to disappear about a second after reaching the moon. It raced faster than any jet I've ever seen.

On 6/24/99 at between 21:50pm to 22:00pm (9:50pm to 10:00pm), I was walking in a Southerly direction in my back yard when something shot across the Moon. I looked up just in time to see it. It appeared to shoot up just above the earth and the over the moon and disappeared about a sec after reaching the moon. It raced faster than any jet I've seen. Its shape was hard to make out due to its tremedous speed. The head seemed to resemble a dome and the rest a cylinder. This is its approximate shape. The color was a red body with a yellowish head with a reddish tail that was extremely short. The rest was just a blur. (Mother's note: Vandenberg is to the West of us and periodically we do see their missles but never in the south)
