It was approximately 11pm. Me and my wife were sitting in garage and she noticed a light in the sky and asked me if it was a plane. I said yeah tbe army depot is that way. She said it's moving to fast to be a plane. I looked at what she was looking at and it covered a distance that made me think it was a drone that was close by. I had to run out of garage to follow its path, which would stop and reverse then go forward and repear about every two seconds. It would change from white light to red and back again.I really didnt think much about it but we timed the object which we now knew it wasn't a drone or plane cause it shot straight up into a lightning cloud that was going on and that was it.It covered a distance in 28 seconds that covered miles then came back and went into the lightning clouds! Thats when I tried to record it, in its way back.I've never witnessed a ufo or something I couldn't explain away.This I can't. I keep replaying it over in my head to find reason for it.I can't.
