Location: Noblesville, IN, USA

Shape: Light

Moving light that slowed down, stopped, stood still and then disappeared.

I was taking my dogs out; I just moved into a new development and there's a field behind my house. I looked up and saw a light moving across the sky left to right. I thought it was a plane, but you could see planes and they had blinking lights. I read yesterday there would be an asteroid you could see from earth so I thought maybe that was it. I kept watching it and it slowed down. Asteroids don't do that. Then it stopped. I wanted to run inside to get my coat. As I was going in the back door I had a feeling if I turned around it would be gone. I took another look at it through the screen door and it wasn't moving. I ran to get my coat, maybe 20 seconds when I came back out it was gone. I ran to the field and looked in every direction, but it was gone. Weird!
