Around 11:10 p.m. on July 22,2004 my boyfriend and I were out watching satelites on our front lawn. As I looked to my right I exclaimed "oh look that is the lowest, biggest and brightest satelite we have seen so far tonight. Right at that moment the object darted off at a right angle and within 8 seconds dimmed and was gone...disappeared out of sight. The object was round in shape and lit up all around and had spike type legs (approximately 5 to 6) extending from the round center of the object. It was not like any of the other satelites we had seen that evening and none of those shot off within 8 seconds and disappeared.
