We were out stargazing on a very clear night after fixing a new telescope that had never been used.
After about an hour or so of watching the skies we layed down to just watch for a while. I was staring at a "constellation" or what I thought to be a constellation for about 5+ min. It was 4 stars almost dipper like when one of the stars took off from the constellation at a steady speed and course across the sky to the north.
We watched it by eye and telescope for roughly 5 min (the approximate time it took to cross the sky to its end point) at which point it literally disappeared. It was the same size of, color of, and shape of the stars. White, tiny and sphere, for lack of better term.
After freaking out about this for about 10 min. we went back to watching the skies, and from another constellation in the same are but just a little west of the first one, another star took off. Same speed, same shape. They were both very high in the sky, too high to be a plane and after research there were non estimated sattelite crossings that day.
They held no tails and were in the sky too long to have been meteors or the like. I have seen a few things also before this that I was some what skeptical about but this was strange.
We were not drinking. we dont do drugs. I am in the United States Military and she is a RMA.
((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the sighting is approximate. PD))
