Washington, Iowa (United States)

Shape: Star-like | Duration: Undisclosed
Source:

I was laying on my porch after having a cigarette with my wife when I saw a star going from SE to N. It was a reddish color and was at high altitude. It was travelling slower than some of the aircraft in the area and was what made me believe it wasn't an airplane along with the absence of flashing lights. As I watched the object a second one appeared going from NE to SE on a different trajectory appearing to be at a lower altitude and travelling faster than the aircraft that was going NW to NE. After a few seconds the second object began to get brighter and I began to think it was a meteorite. It was way brighter than any of the lights on an aircraft. Then the light quickly dimmed back to it original intensity. During the time it brightened, I lost track of the first object. I cannot say where it went or anything. The second object continued on course and I lost contact with it after it became obscured by a neighbor's tree.
