Full Report Text:
Bright white light flying in the sky, hovering and diapeared before our eyes We were standing outside talking, when we saw a round light in the sky. It got really bright and was flying over us high in the sky. It changed directions a couple of times and flew backwards.
It seemed like it hovered or slowed down and was in one spot. It got brighter and faded to nothing right before our eyes. We didn't think it could be a plane because you can always see the flashing lights.
((NUFORC Note: Satellite?? PD)).
