Occurred: 1998-11-20 20:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2014-10-01 12:04 Pacific
Duration: 30 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Dillsburg, PA, USA

Shape: Light

Wile on an evening walk, I saw what appeared to be satellite moving across the sky from a Northerly direction. At its height it was nothing more than a point of light in the sky and was moving somewhat faster than a jet airliner at high altitude. It left no contrail.

I saw it moving for about 30 seconds and then it changed direction very suddenly. It changed direction fast like throwing a tennis ball hard at a wall. Or a pool ball hit hard against a table cushion. From my viewpoint the instant direction change was about 150 degrees. It then proceeded in a southerly direction until it was out of sight.
