I was outside watching fireworks, i had been observing the stars near ursa minor and observed several short bursts of light that appeared to trail. almost like meteor trails, after 20 seconds of no activity an orb appeared moving from the se to the ne slowly in a straight line, no sound was heard, it appeared a dusky red color. at first i believed it to be the iss until it began to turn, it banked approximately 100 degrees (i'm horrible with calculations) lets' call it a hairpin turn. and began to accelerate rapidly towards ursa to the ne. when it got even with polaris it ascended and disappeared at rapid speed. upon disappearing i spent approximately 30 seconds in complete shock, it made my skin crawl slightly. not in a malevolent way. more like in awe. the best way to describe it would be having every theory and idea you had about life in the universe confirmed to you in one second. the gravity of the situation set in. from the time object appeared to the time it disappeared was no more than 1 minute 15 seconds. during the event, the feeling i had was best described was awestruck, upon executing it's turn, bank, whatever the term is, i knew it was no earth aircraft.
