it was in the summer, that much i know, i was sitting outslde my home star gazing as i do alot when i noticed what i thought at first was a satalite as i had watched them streaking across the night sky. i noticed what i thought was one heading nth from the sth, i know it was close because it was brighter than the rest. i thought it was a plane but then it stopped and seemed to come toward me getting brighter.it got that bright it was like a spot light but as i stood up it seemed to stop a fair way out and then just shot straight backward in a matter of seconds until it was really dim and i know the further a satalite is out in space the dimmer they are and this light went really dim and then it stopped and then started moving nth bound again. i tell ya, it made me go in side after that and from then on i have tried to make sense of it. this is the first time i have talked about it. there were no clouds that night and there was no sound to it.((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate.
