Full Description & Details

My friend and myself were camping out in his back yard in the summer of 1966. We were only ten years old but I remember the incident as though it happened yesterday.

In school we had been learning about the NASA missions and satellites.

We knew that everything that man sent up in orbit had to follow its curvature path around the earth.

So, there we were laying on the grass watching the stars when we noticed what our science teacher had taught us was a satellite traveling across the night sky. As we were watching what we believed to be a satellite and talking about it, the traveling light stopped. Then it just sat there in the night sky. So we noticed this and we knew that we were witnessing something that a satellite could not do. A satellite does not stop in mid flight and sit there. Then to our amazement the light started making ninety degree turns and stopping. It would back up, go forward, turn in different directions and basically travel sporadically. My friend and myself knew we were observing something that could not be explained. We watched the light move across the night sky for five or ten minutes maybe more until it left out view. I have never forgotten that night for I believe in my heart of hearts that we witnessed a UFO. Over the years I've told people about that night but no one really believes me. They just think I'm kidding or imagined it.

However, I know what we saw and I'll never forget it. We saw a traveling light stop in mid flight and start making ninety degree turns, backing up, going forward as it turned and twisted sporadically across the night sky.
