NARRATIVE

I remember the weather was warm, the day sunny.  I’m guessing September 1963. The sun was about 3pm.  I was about 13 yrs. old.
My brother who had been in the Air Force, my Dad, and I watched a bright sunlight object high in the sky and moving fast.  My Mom may have been present.
My brother made the observation as to altitude and speed.  The object made a sharp 90 degree turn while flying.
I’m guessing it lasted less than 5 minutes, and then it went out of sight.
