I remember this event very distinctly. However I am unsure of the date. It’s approximate. However I am very sure it was during a Halloween Carnival which makes it even more weird. So it was probably late October. I saw two round and very bright objects. They were both white in color. They were traveling in parallel on the same path and trajectory. They were flying from south to north at about 45 degrees above the western horizon. They made no sound. It’s hard to describe their size. They were definitely a lot bigger than the brightest star or planet. They were definitely a lot bigger than any aircraft lights at any altitude. They were definitely smaller than the moon. My first impression was that they were flying at low altitude because of their large size. However I later decided that they could be at any altitude. It’s hard to get some frame of reference when there is nothing else nearby to compare to. So I really don’t know what their altitude was. It took me years to figure out what I saw. At one time I thought they were car headlights reflecting off of power lines. Power lines are strung in parallel. However there were no power lines. Finally about 25 years after the event I came to the conclusion that it was a meteorite that had broken into two pieces. Both pieces were still flying on the same course and trajectory as the original meteorite would have been had it not broken up. It seems very reasonable that this is in fact what I saw. No one else was with me at the time so there are no other witnesses.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD))
