Posted: 4/16/2005
Location: Phoenix, AZ
Shape: Light
Duration:7 or 8 seconds
fast flying "light/ball" flying over tempe and phoenix arizona.

about 21:00 on 4/14/2005 i witnessed a "shooting star" that lasted about 4 seconds or more then moved out of my line of sight. i've seen meteor showers and have seen many shooting stars in my 29 yrs. accepted it as a "strange shooting star" phenomena.

then at 23:49 on same night, a fast flying dimly lit light, faster than all the planes i see constantly, moved for about 7+ seconds from a north to south east position then disappeared, it didn't burn out or anything like that, it just was gone. noticed same sort of "light/ball" a few days prior while outside at an eatery patio. was moving the opposite way. was seen by few people but girlfriend claimed it was a balloon. balloons do not move that fast at that altitude and fly an arc-like formation as it was.

i've seen same sort of "light" flying into columbia river in george, washington a few years prior. it had no impact or slash. witness by few friends. i understand that private jets can fly fast but i've seen too many airplanes to think that it was one. the reason i believe that it was a ufo is because of the coincidences with the "shooting star" that lasted longer than i've ever seen and then opposite way later, strange light moving as fast as it was.

i then contacted a tv news station and left messages to maybe have a poll for today (4/15/05)to see how many people saw the "shooting star" and then the "light/ball". they didn't. i thought maybe they could call sky harbor international airport and if there had been a fast moving object travelling at 23:49 or so and give me my piece of mind. i'm believing that i'm passed off as a quack, oh well. i saw what i've seen.
