Star-like Light in the sky made 90 degree turnsI was on vacation with my family in central Portugal. My cousin and I and 2 female friends of ours went behind the town church in Gafanha da Boa-Hora (just south of Aveiro) and we sat there talking and taking in the night sky which was clear of city light and any kind of smog and so, one could see many, many stars. While we were looking up (we were not drunk or on any drugs), we noticed a light slowly moving across the sky which we had first thought was a star since it was of the same size and and a little brighter than one. This object then stopped and made a 90 degree turn and continued before stopping again and then making another 90 degree turn. All four of us witnessed it and were in awe. We quickly went through the possibilities: a star, an airplane, a satellite...but none of which would stop and make such turns. The object soon disappeared. We were freaked out by the event.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD))
