At 21:05 hr's my 23 yoa neice and I stepped outside my home for a cigarette, as we stepped off the steps we both saw a red light flash directly in front of us as we were facing due west. The light first appeared as a normal aircraft light traveling from north to south but was moving at such a speed that we had some trouble following it with our eyes, the light flashed at what appeared about the same rate as an aircraft light but was moving so fast that we only saw 4 flashs from the time we first saw it looking due west untill it disappeared over the southern horizon. The veiw from where we observed this light is unobstructed for about 800 meters. The weather had been raining off and on all day and though the rain had stopped at the time of sighting the sky was still heavy with cloud leading me to believe that the craft was at a low altitude but there was no sound to be heard. The duration of sighting was approximatly 4 seconds. In short I was totally astonished at the speed of this craft, after years of being around and observing military aircraft I have never seen anything move this fast.
