My friends, ----- and ---- and I went out on an excursion looking for a meteor shower. Instead we came face to face with a UFO. We saw a light in the eastern sky just West of the 59 Hwy. on the Patricia Beach turn off. We saw it zip almost "cartoon like" to the South. Pause and then zip to the North again. It slowly faded and then it appeared again out of nowhere in the same place. The thing had colors of red, blue, green, pale yellow, as well as what appeared to be purple. The two other girls insisted that we leave at that moment and that it was two to one. They won. We left and headed south towards Libau. Once there we stopped at the closed gas station. We saw the same light in the same general area in the Eastern sky. It zipped a couple of times to the left and then straight "up" and what appeared to be a figure 8 pattern. It had done this several times. I must mention that this occured at the same time that it was the expected time of a meteor shower.
