I was out in the front yard when i heard the sound of a passenger jet which happens often as we live in a rural area that lies along commercial flight paths...I looked up slightly to the north and east and saw a passenger jet heading due west..Then no more than 5 seconds of seeing the passenger jet i saw a fairly bright light slightly west and north of the passenger jet's flight path and it was tracking due south on what appeared to be either a collision or intercept course with the passenger jet..Of course at that point i became extremely focused on this event and wanted to see how this was going to play out...The light stopped extremely close to the passenger jet when the two met on their flight paths...The passenger jet continued west on it's original flight path after passing in front of the south bound light's path...The light at this time is now stationary as the passenger jet flies past it...At this point the light travels a bit south for several seconds and then stops...And then the light accends in a very slight east direction and it kept going until i lost sight of the light. the light appeared to me to leave the earth's atmosphere..At that point i scanned the sky for 10 to 15 minutes to see if i could see anything else of interest. i then went into the house and told my wife about what i had just witnessed
