At 03:18 AM I was called to take a look at a bright object, by a friend. I went outside with my camera and camera platform (tripod) and fired 10 continuous frames of what I thought to be bright "stars"/planets? After taking the images I went back into my home and transferred the HD data. The 10 frames in sequence showed 1 constantly stationary star, and another object moving (vectoring) in the air in 1/4 inch increments (the object was moving fast!!) slightly deviating from its forwards trajectory*. In the 10th frame..the object emitted what looks like a plasma beam! The samples are most extraordinary* Series analysis performed by Dr. Bruce Maccabee & W Allen((NUFORC Note: Photos were forwarded by the source of the report, who is well known to NUFORC. The object in the photo is not inconsistent with the appearance of Jupiter, but we do not know what the object is. PD))
