Saw a light similar to a star that darted around the sky in straight lines.

My girlfriend and I drove out the Palouse Hwy one evening to find a secluded place. We were just outside of town and drove up a dirt road that put us into the northwest shadow of Tower Mtn. We could see the finger shaped rocks that you cannot see from the Dishman-Mica area. We found a spot and did our business.

Afterwards we were just relaxing on a blanket in a field on a hillside looking up at the stars. We noticed a small star that would move rapidly in a straight line one direction not very far at all then stop abruptly and change its trajectory. This went on for a few minutes and we decided to bail, quickly, and drove back to her parent’s house.

I cannot recall the conversation we had on the drive, I do recall driving fast down that dirt road though.

The next day I was at work and my closest co-worker, a few years older than me, asked me if I had seen anything strange in the sky. Our sightings were very similar.

I remember it so clearly.
