I remember the date because it was the morning of my birthday, and I was coming home from a poker game. Since I had to drive, I had had no alcoholic beverages, otherwise I wouldn't of believed it. And I had noted the time of the event. As I was walking around the back of my home, I caught an object out of the corner of my eye. It was triangular and the entire craft was illuminated, about as brite as a yard lamp. When I noticed it, it was about 45* above the southern horizon. I would guesstimate 20,000-25,000 feet. it traveled north to the end of my field of view at approx 10* above the northern horizon. The entire event took less than 3 seconds.
