Full Description & Details

I was at work making security rounds of my post. I was walking toward the east hills (appearing to be coming directly in my direction). It was a clear, cool evening. It was about 9:30 to 10:00 PM . It is normal for me to see aircraft approaching from that direction as there are 3 major airports in the vicinity. I usually stop when i see aircraft lights ahead. Why do I? I guess curiousity as to how long it takes before i can detect the wing tip lights or which airport it will go to.

This particaular night i saw what appeared to be an approaching aircraft from the usual direction, i stopped ... noticed no movement for the first 15-20 seconds. Finally i detected a small amount of movement downward and then to the south side. It moved south about 3 or 4 object diameters before it made a sharp back turn. At this point the object appeared the same size as when i first saw it .... but then it angled it's path (about 15 degrees) and became smalller and smaller as it wisked away and disappeared at a very fastspeed --- a whooodh!! My eyes saw a light trail as it flew away .

About 10 days ago (today being 6/27/04) i was listening to coast to coast with George Noory.A woman called to report a very similar incident one night while starwatching with her son. Her description was almost identical to mine except she report a side to side movement... which i did not detect on my sighting.

Other Comments

I have had other experiences, but my memories of them are vague. I can remember seeing a fleet of disk shaped ufos flying in a nightime 'v' formation when i was a child ... i have often wondered if it was just my imagination or perhaps a dream. I was about 12 or so maybe younger. I remember seeing them at least 2 times over the skies of Corpus Christi,Texas.

I am currently in the process of creating an animation of my most recent sighting as it is fresh in my memory. I will submit it at a later date. Thank you.
