Full Description & Details

During the month of November in the year 2004, I witnessed my second encounter. It was exactly 4:05 am. I had just left my apartment and was walking down the street to the main blvd. (Van Nuys Blvd) to catch the bus, as I was on my way to work. I always make it a habit to "Scan" the skies during those hours, as you never know what you will see. The sky was as clear as could be and many stars were visible. As I began to look down at my cell phone, I noticed something in the sky and quickly looked up. I saw "A Star". I beleve that the altitude was between 30-40 thousand feet. I base this altitude due to my flying experience. I estimate that the cruising speed was between 200-300 Mph. The "Star" was flying in a straight line as if navigating by the street I was walking on. As a note, I did stop walking to make sure It really was moving. As I gazed at the "Star" it slowed down slightly. It began to turn to my left (Its Right) and began to accelerate. I estimate the right turn to proceed for about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile in distance. At the end of the turn the "Star" began to accelerate to what I estimate about 6-700 miles per hour. As It contiued on this path, the "Star" continued to increase in speed and began to go gain in altitude. The "Star" began to climb straight up. The "Star" climbed to an altitude to a point I could no longer see it. And then the "Star was gone. It was an amazing sight. I will never forget it.

Being Ex-Air Force, I have always had an interest in the possiblity of extraterrestials. However I believe mankind has had this technology for many years.

Other Comments

As strange as this may sound, there was a point when I sensed that "I had been noticed observeing" the object. It was the oddest feeling. The thought went through my mind, "They know Im watching them". This moment occurred right as the "Star" slowed down and then turned in its path.
