is 4 00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:16,790 tonight headline earthsky.org 5 00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:20,000 moon and uranus in pisces 6 00:00:24,790 --> 00:00:22,400 the waning gibbous moon and planet 7 00:00:27,029 --> 00:00:24,800 uranus the seventh planet outward from 8 00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:27,039 the sun are near each other on the sky's 9 00:00:31,669 --> 00:00:28,640 dome tonight in front of the 10 00:00:33,430 --> 00:00:31,679 constellation pisces the fishes 11 00:00:35,750 --> 00:00:33,440 although uranus will remain within 12 00:00:38,229 --> 00:00:35,760 pisces borders for the rest of this year 13 00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:38,239 the moon will leave pisces after a day 14 00:00:43,190 --> 00:00:41,440 or two around the world the moon and 15 00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:43,200 uranus will rise over the eastern 16 00:00:47,910 --> 00:00:45,760 horizon by about mid-evening although 17 00:00:50,790 --> 00:00:47,920 you can find out more specific times 18 00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:50,800 there's an astronomical almanac you can 19 00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:53,360 link to later simply head on over to 20 00:00:56,790 --> 00:00:55,360 ufoheadlinenews.com 21 00:00:59,349 --> 00:00:56,800 it'll be there 22 00:01:01,349 --> 00:00:59,359 with the moon so bright and so close to 23 00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:01,359 uranus on the sky's dome you're not 24 00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:03,440 likely to glimpse uranus with the 25 00:01:10,070 --> 00:01:08,400 unaided eye back on march 13th 1781 26 00:01:12,789 --> 00:01:10,080 uranus was the first planet to be 27 00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:12,799 discovered by telescope william herschel 28 00:01:16,149 --> 00:01:13,920 did that 29 00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:16,159 at a distance of about 19 astronomical 30 00:01:21,109 --> 00:01:18,560 units from earth right now this world is 31 00:01:23,830 --> 00:01:21,119 pretty easy to see through binoculars 32 00:01:26,149 --> 00:01:23,840 but you've got to know exactly where to 33 00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:26,159 look so here comes that chart you can 34 00:01:29,590 --> 00:01:27,280 check out 35 00:01:32,069 --> 00:01:29,600 it says here people with good vision and 36 00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:32,079 good charts can see uranus with the 37 00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:35,600 unaided eye on a dark moonless night in 38 00:01:40,310 --> 00:01:38,079 your quest to find uranus first make 39 00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:40,320 friends with the constellation pisces 40 00:01:44,390 --> 00:01:41,840 you can do that right after the moon 41 00:01:46,310 --> 00:01:44,400 leaves the evening sky and starting in a 42 00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:46,320 few more days from now 43 00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:48,240 and if you're familiar with the great 44 00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:51,280 square of pegasus well you can jump off 45 00:01:54,789 --> 00:01:53,520 from there to the constellation pisces 46 00:01:56,469 --> 00:01:54,799 the fishes 47 00:01:59,030 --> 00:01:56,479 and then using that sky chart and 48 00:02:01,429 --> 00:01:59,040 binoculars you just might catch uranus 49 00:02:04,550 --> 00:02:01,439 the seventh planet from the sun so 50 00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:04,560 here's ye old bottom line the moon and 51 00:02:09,749 --> 00:02:07,520 the planet uranus both reside right now 52 00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:09,759 in front of the constellation pisces the 53 00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:12,560 fishes that's right now as in september 54 00:02:17,589 --> 00:02:14,400 8 2017. 55 00:02:19,990 --> 00:02:17,599 go on out there have a look enjoy 56 00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:20,000 there's a place at earthsky.com called 57 00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:22,800 astronomy essentials and they bring us 58 00:02:28,869 --> 00:02:25,840 this headline giant sunspots and solar 59 00:02:31,510 --> 00:02:28,879 flares aurora alert 60 00:02:33,350 --> 00:02:31,520 sure we're headed towards solar minimum 61 00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:33,360 but that didn't keep the sun from acting 62 00:02:39,550 --> 00:02:36,160 up this week since last weekend two 63 00:02:42,670 --> 00:02:39,560 giant sunspots they've got names 64 00:02:44,229 --> 00:02:42,680 ar2673 and it's pal 65 00:02:46,150 --> 00:02:44,239 ar2674 66 00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:46,160 have been seen from around the world by 67 00:02:51,430 --> 00:02:48,879 those using safe solar filters they've 68 00:02:53,910 --> 00:02:51,440 been seen even with the safely filtered 69 00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:53,920 eye alone making their way across the 70 00:02:57,910 --> 00:02:55,440 sun's face 71 00:03:01,190 --> 00:02:57,920 these active regions that's capital a 72 00:03:03,350 --> 00:03:01,200 capital r on the sun spawned multiple 73 00:03:07,509 --> 00:03:03,360 moderate m-class flares september 4th 74 00:03:08,830 --> 00:03:07,519 and 5th and then on september 6 2017 75 00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:08,840 sunspot 76 00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:13,840 ar2673 erupted in a powerful x 9.3 class 77 00:03:18,670 --> 00:03:16,720 solar flare the strongest solar flare in 78 00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:18,680 more than a decade 79 00:03:23,509 --> 00:03:21,120 spaceweather.com yep we visited their 80 00:03:26,390 --> 00:03:23,519 site yesterday reported the x-rays and 81 00:03:28,869 --> 00:03:26,400 uv radiation from the blast ionized the 82 00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:28,879 top of earth's atmosphere 83 00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:30,959 in the process of emitting these flares 84 00:03:35,589 --> 00:03:32,720 ar2673 85 00:03:39,589 --> 00:03:35,599 also blasted a coronal mass ejection or 86 00:03:41,509 --> 00:03:39,599 a cme into space in earth's direction 87 00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:41,519 it's already arrived we talked about it 88 00:03:44,830 --> 00:03:43,200 yesterday here's the quote from 89 00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:44,840 spaceweather.com 90 00:03:50,550 --> 00:03:47,760 acme struck earth's magnetic field 91 00:03:52,550 --> 00:03:50,560 during the late hours of september 6. so 92 00:03:55,910 --> 00:03:52,560 far the impact has done little to stoke 93 00:03:58,149 --> 00:03:55,920 strong geomagnetic activity another cme 94 00:04:00,149 --> 00:03:58,159 is on the way however and it's more 95 00:04:03,190 --> 00:04:00,159 potent having been accelerated in our 96 00:04:04,869 --> 00:04:03,200 direction by the powerful x9 class solar 97 00:04:08,149 --> 00:04:04,879 flare previously 98 00:04:11,030 --> 00:04:08,159 noaa forecasters say strong g3 class 99 00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:11,040 geomagnetic storms are possible perhaps 100 00:04:18,349 --> 00:04:14,640 today september 8 when that inbound cme 101 00:04:21,030 --> 00:04:18,359 arrives reporting for another website 102 00:04:23,030 --> 00:04:21,040 skyandtelescope.com bob king wrote that 103 00:04:25,749 --> 00:04:23,040 there may be a good shot at seeing the 104 00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:25,759 aurora borealis from the northern border 105 00:04:31,430 --> 00:04:28,080 states as far south as illinois and 106 00:04:34,710 --> 00:04:31,440 oregon but he also said this quote the 107 00:04:37,510 --> 00:04:34,720 timing couldn't be worse it's full moon 108 00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:37,520 and western skies are filled with smoke 109 00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:39,040 from wildfires 110 00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:41,040 a strong storm would likely still show 111 00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:43,360 up as bright arcs or balletic rays 112 00:04:47,310 --> 00:04:46,560 dancing across the northern sky perhaps 113 00:04:50,790 --> 00:04:47,320 if 114 00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:50,800 ar2673 continues spouting flares auroras 115 00:04:54,790 --> 00:04:52,800 could also appear later this week when 116 00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:54,800 the moon won't be so much of a problem 117 00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,800 end quotes and that's why bob king 118 00:05:00,110 --> 00:04:58,800 advises you to keep a lookout throughout 119 00:05:02,390 --> 00:05:00,120 the weekend 120 00:05:05,189 --> 00:05:02,400 spaceweather.com agrees about those 121 00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:05,199 aurora watches and also throws in this 122 00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:07,280 historic note that we also covered 123 00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:10,400 yesterday how epic historically is this 124 00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:13,120 event and here's the answer again 125 00:05:18,070 --> 00:05:16,000 this is a decade-class flair a list of 126 00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:18,080 the most powerful solar flares recorded 127 00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:21,600 since 1976 ranks the september 6th flare 128 00:05:26,550 --> 00:05:24,400 at number 14. it's tied with a similar 129 00:05:29,189 --> 00:05:26,560 explosion in 1990 130 00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:29,199 however compared to that iconic 131 00:05:34,469 --> 00:05:32,639 carrington event of 1859 132 00:05:37,189 --> 00:05:34,479 that's the one where the telegraph 133 00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:37,199 operators got the shock of this solar 134 00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:39,120 flare and were literally knocked to the 135 00:05:43,990 --> 00:05:41,680 ground off their telegraph operating 136 00:05:47,430 --> 00:05:44,000 chairs and also those more recent 137 00:05:50,390 --> 00:05:47,440 halloween storms 2003 so this event is 138 00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:50,400 relatively mild modern power grids 139 00:05:54,230 --> 00:05:52,479 telecommunications and other sun 140 00:05:56,870 --> 00:05:54,240 sensitive technologies should weather 141 00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:56,880 this storm with little difficulty 142 00:06:02,150 --> 00:05:59,600 on the other hand sky watchers could see 143 00:06:04,870 --> 00:06:02,160 some fantastic auroras before this week 144 00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:04,880 is over and ham radio operators will 145 00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:07,520 surely be noticing strange propagation 146 00:06:12,790 --> 00:06:09,759 effects while the sun exerts its 147 00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:12,800 influence on the ionosphere of planet 148 00:06:18,469 --> 00:06:15,520 earth here's the bottom line it's been a 149 00:06:21,350 --> 00:06:18,479 week of giant sunspots and solar flares 150 00:06:24,710 --> 00:06:21,360 watch for auroras into this weekend 151 00:06:26,870 --> 00:06:24,720 sun spots auroras and flares oh my 152 00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:26,880 thanks to a stringer we got a tip about 153 00:06:31,830 --> 00:06:29,440 this we found the initial headline and 154 00:06:34,629 --> 00:06:31,840 then a story that accompanies it here's

00:08:58,640 before the arrival of hurricane irma and 213 00:09:02,870 --> 00:09:00,160 they succeeded 214 00:09:06,070 --> 00:09:02,880 while the specifics of the x-37b's 215 00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:06,080 mission aren't available to the public 216 00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:08,640 it will be quote conducting experiments 217 00:09:13,190 --> 00:09:11,120 and quotes post-launch 218 00:09:15,750 --> 00:09:13,200 the last mission saw it in orbit of 219 00:09:17,509 --> 00:09:15,760 earth for two years before returning via 220 00:09:20,389 --> 00:09:17,519 a landing in may 221 00:09:23,750 --> 00:09:20,399 this mysterious x-37b it's built by 222 00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:23,760 boeing it's basically a crewless vehicle 223 00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:25,760 but it looks like the space shuttle on a 224 00:09:30,710 --> 00:09:28,560 smaller scale it's also designed to land 225 00:09:32,870 --> 00:09:30,720 like the shuttle using a landing strip 226 00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:32,880 like you'd use for an airliner 227 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:34,480 we've heard this thing described as 228 00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:38,080 being only 15 feet wide wing to wing 229 00:09:43,910 --> 00:09:41,120 it weighs about 11 000 pounds we hear 230 00:09:45,990 --> 00:09:43,920 the x-37b is the first crewless space 231 00:09:49,030 --> 00:09:46,000 plane for the united states it's 232 00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:49,040 designed for reusability at a reasonable 233 00:09:55,670 --> 00:09:53,680 cost its aim to fly and test new tech 234 00:09:57,750 --> 00:09:55,680 and to return experimental results in a 235 00:10:00,949 --> 00:09:57,760 way that protects cargo and makes it 236 00:10:02,949 --> 00:10:00,959 suitable for post operation examination 237 00:10:05,269 --> 00:10:02,959 one of the goals with this launch was 238 00:10:07,269 --> 00:10:05,279 basically just to prove spacex as a 239 00:10:08,870 --> 00:10:07,279 viable launch option 240 00:10:12,150 --> 00:10:08,880 boeing says it will help ensure 241 00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:12,160 flexibility and continued viability of 242 00:10:18,949 --> 00:10:16,320 the x-37b for experimental use 243 00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:18,959 lots of talk about this particular craft 244 00:10:24,750 --> 00:10:22,560 lots of conjecture lots of conspiracy 245 00:10:27,350 --> 00:10:24,760 let's head on over to 246 00:10:29,670 --> 00:10:27,360 ufostalker.com

specifics categories a viewing 262 00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:07,040 distance here over one mile 263 00:11:13,269 --> 00:11:09,839 altitude over 500 feet without cloud 264 00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:13,279 cover the sighting duration one hour and 265 00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:16,560 18 minutes object features unknown 266 00:11:21,829 --> 00:11:19,760 object flight path hovering then path 267 00:11:23,030 --> 00:11:21,839 object shape sphere 268 00:11:26,710 --> 00:11:23,040 let's read 269 00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:26,720 on september 7th 2017 i observed an 270 00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:30,800 object in the sky from 3 45 am until 503 271 00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:32,160 am 272 00:11:37,670 --> 00:11:35,040 at that time the object slowly started 273 00:11:39,269 --> 00:11:37,680 accelerating upward and then disappeared 274 00:11:41,990 --> 00:11:39,279 all of a sudden 275 00:11:44,389 --> 00:11:42,000 this object hovered roughly around ten 276 00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:44,399 thousand feet maybe a little less 277 00:11:48,630 --> 00:11:46,560 basically it was the same altitude that 278 00:11:50,790 --> 00:11:48,640 small aircraft fly 279 00:11:52,470 --> 00:11:50,800 i did use my compass on my cell phone to 280 00:11:54,790 --> 00:11:52,480 roughly get its position from the back 281 00:11:57,269 --> 00:11:54,800 of my house where i was standing it was 282 00:11:59,590 --> 00:11:57,279 83 degrees east 283 00:12:01,670 --> 00:11:59,600 from what i would assume this object 284 00:12:04,389 --> 00:12:01,680 tried to maintain a fixed position but 285 00:12:05,990 --> 00:12:04,399 it wobbled slightly back and forth 286 00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:06,000 trying to do so 287 00:12:09,509 --> 00:12:07,760 i tried taking several photographs of 288 00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:09,519 the object with my cell phone one 289 00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:12,160 photograph when i enlarge it it almost 290 00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:15,120 looks like there are three windows on 291 00:12:18,629 --> 00:12:17,440 the craft and a slight outline of the 292 00:12:20,710 --> 00:12:18,639 craft 293 00:12:22,470 --> 00:12:20,720 this is not the first time that i 294 00:12:24,389 --> 00:12:22,480 spotted this aircraft 295 00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:24,399 there were three other occasions i 296 00:12:28,389 --> 00:12:26,480 spotted the same object over a 297 00:12:30,069 --> 00:12:28,399 three-month period of time 298 00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:30,079 the first occasion i got up in the 299 00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:31,200 middle of the night to go to the 300 00:12:35,590 --> 00:12:33,920 bathroom and i spotted this object out 301 00:12:38,389 --> 00:12:35,600 in the distance through my bedroom 302 00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:38,399 window and because it was far away 303 00:12:42,230 --> 00:12:40,079 at that point i just thought it was a 304 00:12:43,590 --> 00:12:42,240 star maybe a satellite reflecting the 305 00:12:45,509 --> 00:12:43,600 night sky 306 00:12:47,910 --> 00:12:45,519 but then a week and a half later i 307 00:12:50,150 --> 00:12:47,920 spotted the same object 308 00:12:53,110 --> 00:12:50,160 this time it was changing colors 309 00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:53,120 radically back and forth moving 310 00:12:57,670 --> 00:12:55,440 so at that time i had no idea what to 311 00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:57,680 make of it and ever since then when i 312 00:13:02,069 --> 00:12:59,920 get up at night to use the bathroom i 313 00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:02,079 keep looking out the window to see if i 314 00:13:07,509 --> 00:13:04,560 can spot that object again and about 315 00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:07,519 three weeks later it was there again but 316 00:13:10,949 --> 00:13:09,680 it was still too far away to see exactly 317 00:13:14,710 --> 00:13:10,959 what it was 318 00:13:17,990 --> 00:13:14,720 but on september 7th 2017 early this 319 00:13:21,269 --> 00:13:18,000 morning the object was in the sky once 320 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:21,279 again this time it was really low and 321 00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:24,240 very close so i got my shoes on and went 322 00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:26,160 outside to take some photographs of it 323 00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:27,760 to watch it 324 00:13:33,509 --> 00:13:31,120 and then at 503 am when dawn just 325 00:13:37,030 --> 00:13:33,519 started to break this object started 326 00:13:39,829 --> 00:13:37,040 moving away at a slow acceleration and 327 00:13:41,350 --> 00:13:39,839 all of a sudden it just took off 328 00:13:43,990 --> 00:13:41,360 there's nothing that i know of that 329 00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:44,000 could accelerate like this object did 330 00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:46,480 in that split second it reminded me of 331 00:13:50,949 --> 00:13:48,800 what you see in a star trek show when 332 00:13:52,710 --> 00:13:50,959 the enterprise takes off 333 00:13:55,350 --> 00:13:52,720 that's the only way i can explain the 334 00:13:58,629 --> 00:13:55,360 sudden acceleration of this object 335 00:13:59,910 --> 00:13:58,639 i'm hoping this object comes back again 336 00:14:05,829 --> 00:13:59,920 thank you 337 00:14:07,030 --> 00:14:05,839 vexing to see something so dramatic more 338 00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:07,040 than once 339 00:14:12,710 --> 00:14:10,720 what in the world or out of the world 340 00:14:13,949 --> 00:14:12,720 here's a short report we picked up over 341 00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:13,959 at the website 342 00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:16,720 openminds.tv it's posted by alejandro 343 00:14:22,870 --> 00:14:18,720 rojas headline 344 00:14:25,430 --> 00:14:22,880 ufo witness spots large spherical object 345 00:14:28,310 --> 00:14:25,440 during hike in portugal 346 00:14:30,550 --> 00:14:28,320 here's what the witness wrote verbatim 347 00:14:32,949 --> 00:14:30,560 i was hiking on the mountain and taking 348 00:14:35,430 --> 00:14:32,959 pictures when i observed a spherical 349 00:14:38,069 --> 00:14:35,440 object the size of a helicopter 350 00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:38,079 it flew silently and too fast i 351 00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:40,160 immediately started shooting 352 00:14:44,790 --> 00:14:42,160 while doing this i lost the visual 353 00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:44,800 reference of the object when i turned to 354 00:14:49,670 --> 00:14:46,480 look at the sky in search of the first 355 00:14:52,629 --> 00:14:49,680 object a second object appeared same 356 00:14:54,629 --> 00:14:52,639 speed following the same path 357 00:14:57,269 --> 00:14:54,639 these objects traveled from south east 358 00:14:59,670 --> 00:14:57,279 to northwest at a speed of over 300 359 00:15:02,230 --> 00:14:59,680 kilometers per hour you're listening to 360 00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:02,240 love advice with leanne caller you're on 361 00:15:06,230 --> 00:15:04,720 the air uh hi leanne long time listener 362

an altitude of perhaps 100 meters to 375 00:15:36,389 --> 00:15:34,399 200 meters and at a distance of less 376 00:15:38,389 --> 00:15:36,399 than three kilometers from my 377 00:15:40,629 --> 00:15:38,399 observation point 378 00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:40,639 i know that mylar balloons can look odd 379 00:15:44,150 --> 00:15:42,160 floating around and they're often 380 00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:44,160 reported as ufos 381 00:15:48,550 --> 00:15:46,000 however these balloons are typically a 382 00:15:51,430 --> 00:15:48,560 regular shape and they're smooth 383 00:15:52,470 --> 00:15:51,440 could this be a half deflated mylar 384 00:15:54,150 --> 00:15:52,480 balloon 385 00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:54,160 if so it wouldn't have been as large as 386 00:15:59,350 --> 00:15:56,560 a helicopter and the witness describes 387 00:16:01,269 --> 00:15:59,360 it as large as a helicopter alejandro 388 00:16:03,910 --> 00:16:01,279 rojas who wrote this article says it 389 00:16:05,670 --> 00:16:03,920 looks to be rather large in the photo 390 00:16:06,310 --> 00:16:05,680 yep there's a photo you can check out 391 00:16:09,030 --> 00:16:06,320 later at ufo headline 392 00:16:11,030 --> 00:16:09,040 ufoheadlinenews.com 393 00:16:13,430 --> 00:16:11,040 and the notes at the end the vast 394 00:16:16,069 --> 00:16:13,440 majority of ufo sightings turn out to be 395 00:16:18,470 --> 00:16:16,079 mundane objects but once in a while 396 00:16:21,030 --> 00:16:18,480 there are sightings much more difficult 397 00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:21,040 to explain let's zip from portugal to 398 00:16:25,470 --> 00:16:22,880 the united kingdom where we find this 399 00:16:27,829 --> 00:16:25,480 headline from redditch bright 400 00:16:31,030 --> 00:16:27,839 horseshoe-shaped object the 2nd of

--> 00:16:48,839 open so i can view the stars if they're 408 00:16:54,150 --> 00:16:51,440 showing i was watching an airplane go 409 00:16:56,710 --> 00:16:54,160 past i had just thought to myself 410 00:16:57,749 --> 00:16:56,720 i wonder if i'll ever see another ufo 411 00:16:59,749 --> 00:16:57,759 again 412 00:17:01,829 --> 00:16:59,759 i've seen two others the last one was 413 00:17:04,150 --> 00:17:01,839 six years ago 414 00:17:07,189 --> 00:17:04,160 so as the airplane passed from right to 415 00:17:09,429 --> 00:17:07,199 left i noticed something that lit up 416 00:17:11,110 --> 00:17:09,439 extremely bright like when you burned 417 00:17:12,710 --> 00:17:11,120 magnesium 418 00:17:15,429 --> 00:17:12,720 this brightness seemed to be hanging 419 00:17:18,949 --> 00:17:15,439 over where the plane had just flown 420 00:17:21,829 --> 00:17:18,959 as if it was inspecting it it looks to 421 00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:21,839 be a horseshoe shape it was upside down 422 00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:22,799 a u 423 00:17:27,909 --> 00:17:25,600 and it moved slowly downwards getting a 424 00:17:29,990 --> 00:17:27,919 little dimmer and then it sort of turned 425 00:17:31,110 --> 00:17:30,000 as if it had been vertical facing 426 00:17:33,029 --> 00:17:31,120 downward 427 00:17:35,430 --> 00:17:33,039 now before it turned it was horizontal 428 00:17:37,350 --> 00:17:35,440 and facing away from me and that's the 429 00:17:40,549 --> 00:17:37,360 direction i was looking 430 00:17:43,029 --> 00:17:40,559 as it started to move again it moved 431 00:17:45,430 --> 00:17:43,039 slowly but then it went extremely fast 432 00:17:47,909 --> 00:17:45,440 until it was just a pin brick of light 433 00:17:49,270 --> 00:17:47,919 and then out of sight within about three 434

00:20:50,720 dog 511 00:20:56,470 --> 00:20:52,400 i happened to look up 512 00:20:59,830 --> 00:20:56,480 and i saw this box-like thing in the sky 513 00:21:01,590 --> 00:20:59,840 it flew out of the north east and flew 514 00:21:03,350 --> 00:21:01,600 to the northwest 515 00:21:05,830 --> 00:21:03,360 as it moved along 516 00:21:08,950 --> 00:21:05,840 this thing changed shapes 517 00:21:11,430 --> 00:21:08,960 from initially being box-like to then a 518 00:21:14,310 --> 00:21:11,440 more saucer-like appearance 519 00:21:16,070 --> 00:21:14,320 there wasn't any wind to blow it along 520 00:21:18,390 --> 00:21:16,080 at first i thought could this be some 521 00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:18,400 sort of big balloon maybe a partially 522 00:21:21,909 --> 00:21:20,080 deflated balloon 523 00:21:24,230 --> 00:21:21,919 but it kept traveling to the northeast 524 00:21:25,909 --> 00:21:24,240 as though it was being intelligently 525 00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:25,919 piloted 526 00:21:31,029 --> 00:21:28,799 it was weird because it was changing 527 00:21:34,710 --> 00:21:31,039 shapes from first the dark box-like 528 00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:34,720 object to the more saucer-shaped object 529 00:21:39,430 --> 00:21:37,440 this thing was dull in appearance and it 530 00:21:40,710 --> 00:21:39,440 seemed not to reflect light it wasn't 531 00:21:43,110 --> 00:21:40,720 shiny 532 00:21:45,430 --> 00:21:43,120 it flew towards walmart out of the 533 00:21:49,029 --> 00:21:45,440 northeast when i first saw it but then 534 00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:49,039 it kept precisely on the same course 535 00:21:53,110 --> 00:21:50,880 at one point i actually opened the car 536 00:21:55,510 --> 00:21:53,120 door to observe this object but it 537 00:21:58,149 --> 00:21:55,520 traveled pretty quickly over the walmart 538 00:22:00,630 --> 00:21:58,159 building and i lost sight of it it 539 00:22:02,630 --> 00:22:00,640 caught my eye as i'm kind of a fan of 540 00:22:03,830 -->
