from a cruise ship balcony my stargazing wife and I saw a "star" streak across the sky, stop, zig zag erratically and disappear.My wife and I were on the balcony of a cruise ship cabin, stargazing on a very clear night. My wife said,"did you see that?" I hadn't seen anything but as I looked to the sky where se pointed we both saw a "star" shoot laterally across the sky. It could have be some sort of wierd meteor at that point, but then it made a brief series of very precise straight line maneuvers (kind of zig zag like) and disappear.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the duration of the sighting was approximately 45 seconds. A meteor, almost certainly, would not have laster that long. PD))
