NUFORC Sighting 148079

Reported: 2019-08-06 09:53 Pacific
Duration: 2 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Bar Harbor, ME, USA

Shape: Light

Bright blue/white light moving across SW sky at high speed in the shape of an "S" with a tail.

Was watching for meteors around 2am. Looking straight up, I saw a bright blueish/white light towards the southwest sky that seemed rather far away, possibly even outside the atmosphere. It appeared out of nowhere and traveled in a straight line for about half a second before making an S-pattern and disappearing. It was traveling at high speed similar to that of a meteor. Had it not been for the S-pattern I would have thought it were another meteor.
