We saw a light moving soundlessly in an erratic pattern and at varying speeds.
My wife and I were walking our dog at about 9:10 p.m. on Nov. 26, about 1/2 an hour earlier than normal but on the route I normally follow. I'm usually alone on the walk and frequently notice a satellite, about 20 degrees above the horizon, crossing east to west.
Both of us saw a spot of light near the path of the satellite I normally see, but insead of moving east to west it was moving in what seemed a straight line from the southeast toward the northwest.
We observed this flight for about 10 seconds and then saw the light make a near u-turn to head back toward the southeast. At this time it's movement became herky-jerky, seeming almost to stop and then speed up.
The light then altered direction moving almost due east and behind a loud bank. Just before disappearing, I thought the single point of light split becoming two lights heading in the same path. My wife did not see this. My eyes are better than my wife's but the two lights were visible only briefly.
No sound was associated with the event.
