Last night i was looking up at the night sky trying to catch a shooting star when i saw something smaller then the average star gliding across slowly then it disappeared only to reappear a bit further along the path it was going. then all of a sudden it flashed a bright beam of light in the sky and continued on its way i followed it for over a minute as it kept disappearing and reappearing in the sky then it just vanished. i was on the phone with my mom describing my experience. then a few minutes later i couldn't belive my eyes i saw it again but on the other side of the sky. but this time it didn't just flash a bright beam of light, it started to flash on and off on and off as i was watching it and just like before it was disappearing and reappearing til it vanished. it was amazing i know it wasn't a satellite because it was moving too fast. it was a very beautiful clear night and i know it wasn't a plane it was traveling much faster
