NUFORC Sighting 85691

Occurred: 2011-12-04 22:12 Local
Reported: 2011-12-05 02:25 Pacific
Duration: a few seconds

Location: Bellevue/Issaquah, WA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Left a trail

I live on the border of Issaquah and Bellevue in the foothills of Cougar Mountain.

I looked up at the sky while talking on the phone and noticed what I thought was a shooting star dropping to the South at 10:12pm. It was brighter then the North Star which was also in my line of sight looking South West & up.

As I turned a few inches to the South West to see the moon the light was still dropping to the left.

I turned quickly and mentioned it to the person on the phone as I watched it drop slowly, then quickly disappear to the South West (as if it took a quick right turn).
