It was very bright and had Blue, red and yellow lights flashing. It was moving back and forth very low. Out of control so it could not be a normal aircraft.

The sky kept lighting up. The sky would flash very brightly in intervals. At one point it looked like the object shout out smoke and wa sleaving a trail of smoke. At the end i was with a friend and on the phone with another friend and it made a loud noise very similar to the sound from the war of the worlds. We all heard it the same. Another group of friends claimed to see it shining a bright light down but i could not see that from where i was. It was hard to tell between Diamons and Triangular.

NUFORC Note:

We spoke with this individual via telephone, and he sounded to us to be quite sincere and credible. We wonder whether the witnesses might have been observing the star, Sirius, in the southern sky, but the witness said he did not think that was the case, and that police were possibly involved with the sighting event.
