Duration: ~ 5 min.
No of observers: 1

Location: Atlanta, GA, USA

Shape: Circle

Two separate dots in the sky merge into one and continue in straight line.

I was lying with my 2 year old son on the grass looking at the beautiful blue sky -- one of those cloudless deep blue skys. We were in the shade of the house. I noticed a small dot moving accross the sky. It reminded me of a sattelite that you can see at night moving accross the sky. This one was pulsing and moving in a straight line high in the sky. It was very hard to tell how high it was, but it was moving in a general southerly direction.

I looked a little further ahead in the path it was headed and noticed a second dot. This one was not pulsing and was moving much more slowly. All of a sudden, this appeared to be something spectacular. The first pulsing dot was moving right toward the second dot! I watched as it approached, and as the 1st dot got closer, it circled 3/4 of the way around the 2nd dot, then they became one dot. I don't remember if they pulsed after they merged or not, but they continued at the slower speed of the 2nd dot until I could no longer see them. The dot moved too far south and I had to get out of the shade of the house, then the sun was too bright to see.

At the time I didn't know who to tell. I wasn't too good on the web at the time.
