Grass Valley, California (United States)

Sighted on Friday 31. August 2012

Shape: Star-like | Duration: Undisclosed
Source:

Saw white/bluish light that had starlight filter appearance moving from north to southwest. This starlight appearance along with it moving through the sky is what caught my attention. When I stood-up from sitting in a chair on my front porch to see where it was going (the eaves of my roof were going to block my view), it continued in same direction for another 1-2 seconds, then shot straight up and out of sight at an extremely fast speed. I just stood there staring at the sky wondering "what the heck was that?" It took my breath away...never saw anything like it. It made no sound, very bright, and seemed quite low (guessing less than one thousand feet) in the sky. In the last 3 months, I have also seen a single flash of white light in the northern night sky (above the Big Dipper) on three occasions during clear conditions. After the light flash, there is nothing there that I can see.I wasn't going to report what I saw, but thought I should, just in case it adds information to the big picture of what these things are.
