Duration: 3-5 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Highland, CA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Left a trail, Changed Colo

I witnessed an orange/white dot in the sky... it was creating a fan shaped area of light around it as if it were traveling faster than it.

It would slow and speed it up- when slowing, the fan shape would become taller from top to bottom above and below the light. When it would accelerate, the fan shape would compress and seem seem to trail longer behind the light instead of taller...

I pointed it out to my neighbor and he also saw it. He immediately called it a Strange Occurance…
