It was shortly after 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15, 2007, when I noticed a bright object in the sky. It was a bright light, not unlike a satellite but moving in a north to south direction; Brighter than any star. There were no other lights or colors associated with it.
It continued moving south in atypical movements characteristics of an airplane or helicopter. It didn’t move like an airplane and there was no noise. It was traveling fairly fast and suddenly slowed down and them took a short oblique move to the right and then to the left and the continued south. Too fast and abrupt to be a helicopter or aircraft.
It continued south for two or three seconds and then started to fade and disappear. Did not get a chance to observe it with binoculars.
Within seconds after the light faded away, an aircraft (identified by flashing red and blue lights and noise) appeared above the tree line due south and passed directly along the same path as the object but heading north. There was no bright white present as with the unidentified object.
I was in a hurry to meet my wife and couldn’t stay around to check further. I thought the aircraft I observed heading north may have seen the UFO and perhaps was pursuing it??? Analysis: It appeared the object saw the approaching aircraft and started to turn to avoid it but finally vanished to hide.
Credentials: I served in the Air Force Civilian Observation Corps as an observer and worked at the local Filter Center for a two year period in Syracuse, NY. Visually sighting aircraft and identifying them to call in to the Filter Center "radar gaps." I’m very familiar with multiple aircraft at all altitudes.
I served in the Air Force as a Radar/Radio technician.
I spent 1 ½ years in Viet Nam as an Engineering Writer for the DoD.
Grad Degree: BS in Math and Science Worked in Aero Space programs for 20 years Engineering missiles (Polaris, Centaur, Minuteman, Pershing and Sam-Ds.) I’m also an Armature Astronomer use an 8-Inch reflecting telescope
