Falling star stops in the sky and speeds away at a right angleMay 6, 1976, 21:00 pm an earthquake hit Northern Italy in Friuli, I lived in Trieste, Italy, at that time 3-4 hours away from the epicenter. The quake was so strong we all felt it, the house moved back and forth, it was scary and so were the aftershocks.To be safe, I slept on the beach at Marina Julia because didn't have buildings close by.I was looking at the stars to relax. Suddenly I saw a "falling star." This falling star came at a sudden stop in the sky and remain still for a few seconds and then started moving accelerating at an incredible speed at a right angle.It was small but very bright, as I said I though it was a falling star, but the falling stars don't stop and take off again in a different direction. I was a skeptical 21 years old at that time and I never told this episode to anyone until now.
