No of observers: 0

Location: Sedro Woolley, WA, USA

Shape: Circle

I was looking in the South Eastern sky about 65 Degrees above the horizon on 8/20/04 at about 1030 P.M. and noticed at first what I thought to be a double star.The star like object on the right began to circle 360 degrees around the other star,and then moved rapidly away at a 45 degree angle , in a South East direction.As the object picked up speed it seemed to have lost control of itself.The object zig zagged very eradically for one second from about a 12 oclock position in the sky to a 10 oclock position in the sky.At this point in time I lost track of the object,due to 2 large Pine Trees in my neighbors yard blocked my view from the remaining flight path.I ran quickly from the trees to see if I could continue to see the movement of the object but by this time it had dissapeared.
