Unknown over manorville, NY

The report, as filed

I was in the hottub on a night in fall of 2014, I think it was early October because it was shortly before I got the idea for my prototype electromagnetic propulsion idea in the third week of October that year while playing with permanent magnets in my hands, lounging in bed brainstorming. Anyway, I was staring north northeast at those stars over there while in the hottub, and al lthe sudden a gleaming sparkling jet yellow orange light "curved". When I say curved, it seemed to do a 170 ° turn in this u, , but there was also a curve in the u, where it curved down, then again, and shot off at the speed of light, and all the while leaving behind a momentary (half second duration) trail of gleaming fire, orange yellow in color. It zoomed off northward but seemed to be aimed slightlybto leave earth and off into the cosmos on an intelligently programmed trip.
