I was sitting on my back porch watching the start of the Persied meteor shower, when I was scanning the night sky for meteors. I noticed almost all the meteors moving in a southerly direction, looking straight up from my seat I noticed an arrow shaped object that appeared to be decending from high altitude with red orange leading edge with vorticies off each tip of the triangle shaped craft and moving at a high rate of speed, at least as fast as the meteors I had been watching , but moving in the opposite direction, moving South to North. I estimate the craft had just entered our atmosphere and was close to a mile across.
