While stargazing at the beach, my friend pointed out the object high in the night sky. It was traveling upwards with wobbles. The wobbles are what made it a very unusual sight. No known objects do that. It ascended from approximately 60 to 70 degrees, starting bright white and gradually and smoothly demising in brightness as it traveled, until it became too dark to see. The change in brightness did not seem to be the result of distance or direction. It's as though there was a change in the emission of light from the object. I lately looked online and discovered that what I saw is similar to what others are calling orbs. The object was not a shooting star, comet, meteorite, satellite or any known type of aircraft. If it was secret military technology or unrevealed alien activity, then why is it visible over a popular beach and residential area? So I really don't have any good theories about what it was. I've never seen a ufo before. It was an interesting experience although not particularly surprising to me considering the vast number of worldwide sightings.
