NUFORC Sighting 37058

Occurred: 2004-05-20 20:30 Local
Reported: 2004-05-20 22:43 Pacific
Duration: 3 min
No of observers: 1

Location: Superior, WI, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Left a trail

I set my camcorder in the window in night vision mode fixed with an infrared filter which blocks the visible light ranges. After aproximately an hour and a half of taping I happened to pass by the camera and look in the frame at some interesting clouds. I saw an object descend from the center of the camera view. It had a tail like a jet at first but the tail disappeared after it reached a certain altitude. Initially the object was moving south west and when it reached the end of its path (behind a house) it was traveling southeast. It travelled from aproximately 60 degrees from the horizon to about 10 degrees with the horizon when I lost view of it.

On analyzing the video I see that it makes some eradic motions in the middle of its path. I have telephone wires in these video frames which show the object is moving and not me. I have sent a small clip of this video to NUFORC.org.

It is important to note that I attempted to see the object with my naked eye at a few points throughout its path and could not see the object, it was purely in the camera that it showed up in nightshot with an infrared filter. There was no noise present with the object.



NUFORC Note:

Video clip indicates and indistinct, small light, moving slowly straight down. We do not know if the movement is the result of camera movement. Object could be a satellite, possibly the ISS, but we do not have time, just now, to check the ISS schedule. PD
