Full Description of Event/Sighting: About 10 years ago, my mother
arrived at my grandparents’ house to routinely pick me up after school. I was
16 at the time and it was late afternoon, just before dusk on what was an unusually
clear and sunny spring day.
I was in the passenger seat of my mother’s car when she performed
a U-turn on my grandparents' quiet street at which point, the front of the car
was aligned perfectly to the north. I happened to glance up towards the top
half of the windscreen, admiring the bluish-yellow hue of the sky.
As I shifted my glance to the east, I witnessed a bright orange
fireball, which appeared to be flying at a fairly high altitude. It had a
distinctly long, orange tail which emitted wispy clouds of very thin yet acrid
looking black smoke. The object was traveling slowly along horizontal plane
(from east to west).
The slow speed seemed unusual to me, but I initially dismissed it
as a very bright meteorite travelling at extraordinary altitude. Suddenly, it
began to change trajectory, slowly descending along the vertical. This occurred
about 5-6 seconds after I had initially spotted it. At this point, I figured
that it must have been a doomed aircraft which had suffered a catastrophic failure
of some kind.
I exclaimed and pointed it out to my mother, who instantly slowed
down to a stop, glanced up and also spotted it. The object then commenced an
unbelievably tight loop, dramatically accelerating in the process. After
completing this first loop, it subsequently performed another (just as tight as
the last), still accelerating, yet traveling at an ungodly rate of speed.
No manned object could possibly withstand even a fraction of those
G’s! Once it completed this last loop, it slingshot towards the east in an
upward and traverse trajectory, gradually fading into the blue of the
atmosphere. The whole incident felt like it
lasted an eternity, but in reality, the duration was no longer than
10-15 seconds.
Needless to say, I couldn’t believe what I had seen, so much so,
that I after I had regained my prior composure, I asked my mother to describe
her account of the incident. If she wasn’t there to concur, I probably would
have dismissed it as imaginary. Prior to witnessing this event, I was an avid
aircraft aficionado (in fact, I still am).
Since then, I have subsequently studied aerospace engineering, yet
I’m still scratching my head on this one. By analyzing the scenario, I managed
to derive some additional attributes of the object. Since it faded into the
atmosphere, it must have been flying at the absolute fringe of space. Also,
considering that it was clearly visible at that particular altitude and angle
of elevation, it must have been huge.
Thank you to the witness for the report.
