Light over Howard, PA

The report, as filed

While on vacation with my family my husband and I were sitting on the balcony and noticed a flying object that appeared as far away as the stars, but it was flying very strangely, unlike anything we ever saw before. It was red and glowing and it flew what I can best describe as a bumble bee pattern. Very random, erratic darting around and zig zagging from place to place. Since it was so far away, the distance it would travel was very far all the way from end to end in the sky. It was flying so quickly it would dart from one side of the horizon to the other side in a few seconds. We sat and watched it for what felt like 20 minutes or more. I was listening to a PBS interview about reporting unidentified flying objects which is why I am writing so many years later. I looked at my vacation photos to verify the date. We are just a normal middle class family with a school age child. We both worked in the medical field at that time. We are now studying for our masters degrees.
