NUFORC Sighting 82661

Occurred: 2011-07-22 21:45 Local
Reported: 2011-07-23 00:53 Pacific
Duration: 4-6 seconds
No of observers: 2

Location: Redlands, CA, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Red/white light first mistaken for a shooting star then went in a zigzag pattern before disappearing.

Only July 22 at 9:45 p.m., my wife and I were leaving a concert at the Redlands Bowl in Redlands, CA, when I saw what I first thought was a shooting star traveling north.

I realized that it was not a shooting star because it was visible too long and did not leave a trail. I thought it may be a satellite, but then discounted that because of the speed it was traveling across the sky.

I pointed it out to my wife who saw it as well. We watched as it travelled north then made two or three zigzags and disappeared. I remember it as a white light with a red light next to it and my wife thought it looked more like three red lights.

The light pattern leads me to believe it was a plane, but it was very high and the speed it traveled and the zigzag pattern were not like a plane.

It only lasted about 5 or 6 seconds and traversed most of the sky.
