Around 10pm, I was lying in bed and saw what appeared to be a red light in the northern sky, through my sliding glass door. I got up and looked at the sky from my deck. As I watched it, it turned colors: red, blue, white and green. Upon closer inspection, I could see it was a cluster of lights. It was stationary. It did not appear to be a plane. I watched it for about 2 minutes as it remained stationary and changing colors every 3-4 seconds. I began to think it may be a star, but then it moved slowly to my left and then my view of it was obstructed by large trees at the back of my property. I returned to my bed and was lost in thought about what I may have just seen. As I was thinking about it, I turned my head to my sliding glass door and there it was again! In the exact same spot that I initially saw it before it moved to my left. I watched it again for at least another full minute. And then, right before my eyes, it vanished. I have done a internet search and was amazed and excited to see that the exact same thing has been seen before! Same colors and all, but primarily on the East Coast. UFO? Very possibly in my opinion.

During meteor shower, biggest in years. Myself and my wife laying flat on our backs in a secluded grassy area on a picnic blanket around ten pm. Huge meteor shows up, we track it w our eyes, as we track it, this rectangular ship LITERALLY APPEARS, not flew into our view, NO, this thing was "cloaked", and it became visible b4 our eyes. Simply moved slowly out of the way of the oncoming meteor and cloaked again. Literally happened in five seconds. Wife saw it too. Clear as day. There wasn't even time to grab a cell phone shot. This was two years ago? I think. And I wanted to report it to somewhere more credible than Mufon. I hope this helps. I do not mind answering any further questions you may have. Thank you. Sincerely, ((name deleted)) Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD
