Fast moving starlight makes tree sharp turns.After a late night picnic along the lake in Geneva, we lay on our backs on the blanket looking up to the sky making small talks about stars and satellites. It was a clear evening with stars appearing to be a small pin lights.Among them, we saw a same size light moving in a straight line from right to left on our farm of view.Initially, we thought it was a satellite, but I had a second thought, as it seemed to move awful fast for something so far away and appear to be small.As we discuss what it is, it abruptly made 45-degree turn down and the direction it was traveling from, then made two more sharp left turns making a triangle shape path before disappearing.Happened very fast but three of us saw the same thing at the same time and couldn't believe what we have seen. It wasn't a trick of the eye nor something caught at a glance as we we looking at that particular light when we thought it was a satellite.If it didn't move, we would have thought it was one of the many stars.I do believe we saw an UFO and wanted to share the story. I will be looking up again as we are returning to the same spot tonight.((NUFORC Note: We suspect that the date of the sighting is August 1st, 2014, not 2012, and we have attempted to contact the witness. PD))
