Reported: 2007-12-09 03:54 Pacific
Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 3

Location: San Francisco, CA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Steady light, stopping, and changing direction in the sky.

Appeared like a satellite at first, heading north to south. Dull, steady, faint light, close in magnitude to Polaris. At about 60 degs from southeast horizon, the light stopped, paused, circled and then started heading due west at an accelerated speed. Light eventually disappeared behind a building. Sky was clear, no clouds. Was just a single steady light. 2 other witnesses next to me saw it after I pointed it out to them when the light paused. They saw it circle and then head off at an accelerated speed.
