St. Thomas, (U. S. Virgin Islands), VI

Sighted on Saturday 25. October 1997
Reported on
Shape: Light | Duration: 5-8 SECDS
Source:

Summary : Was staring at a very clear night sky over the Caribbean when overhead I saw what appeared to be a satellite (I see them very often). This object started moving in a straight path overhead, but then made three radical changes in a north-northwest direction while moving at the same incredible speed. To my knowledge, no jet can make those manuevers and satellites must travel a fixed path in orbit. The entire event lasted around 5 seconds. No weird lights, just what looked like a brighter (larger?) than normal satellite making a crazy pattern in the sky unlike anything should be able to do physically.I am a fund-raising consultant who works to help non-profits and churchs raise money for capital campaigns. I was working for a church in Charlotte Amalie when this event occurred.
