A little past sunset, just starting to get dark, brighter than twilight, i was looking out of my bathroom window to see if the stars had started to come out yet. directly above my house, a bright light, it looked like a star. i made the remark out loud, "oh, what a pretty star, it's out a little early", immediately after i said those words, it darted away like a bat -out-of -hell, headed e, jogged a turn to the se and flew off into a cloud bank and was gone. it was no airplane, jet, or any other type of regular aircraft. it was moving way too fast. i can't say how long it hovered above my house, but that's what it was doing when i saw it. funny thing is, when i saw it, i didn't have a feeling of dread or fear, i thought it was really neat. over the course of my life i had seen other phenomena, only briefly, this was the longest and closest sighting i witnessed.
