There was a bright star in the west for a number of weeks. i came home one night and went inside. came back out to clear the car and i looked up at the stars from the front of my house as i watch satellites come overhead often and i noticed a dark clocked shape maybe 100 meters above the ground directly above my house just hanging there. i grabbed my smart phone to record it and it shut down. i ran inside to grab my camera and a second cellphone to try and record. neither came on. they were dead. i observed the object and can only describe it as aerodynamic and sleek. no noise. 3 lights appeared to the east in the form of a triangle. the object moved toward it slowly and connected and it and the 3 lights vanished. then my camera came on and so did my cellular phones.The whole experienced lasted about 15 minutes. i don't know how long it was sitting there before. i don't want to share my details because i want to remain anonymous. i just wanted to share and make someone aware that these sightings also happen outside the united states.
