NARRATIVE

I saw what I thought was a shooting star - because thats how fast it traveled - and it was very high.  I told him to look and he saw it too.  
Now this is the great part.  It stopped in the sky almost above us - but way way up "like a star"- sat a second....shot to the left...sat a second...shot forward....sat a second...shot to the right...sat a few more seconds - and then CONTINUED to streak across the sky like a shooting star.  I mean it went from o mph to probably what would be 15k an hour or something.  
No one ever believed us - of course.  But I KNOW that was a UFO - just try and explain it away.  Nothing goes that fast - stops ON A DIME - then maneuvers intentionally 3 times and hoves each time - the goes from 0 to whatever on its way.  Nothing strikes our atmosphere and bounces around in a methodial path with intentional pauses....
Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate.  PD
