UFO sighting in Bermuda Dunes, California. Coachella Valley over Santa Rosa Mountains.

On June 19, 2009, in Bermuda Dunes, CA 92203, a ufo was sited at ~75 degrees in angle vertically facing SouthWest. I was looking at the landscaping of the backyard with my brother, sitting on a patio chair facing South. There was very little moonlight and the stars were very clear and beautiful. All of a sudden, in my peripheral, I saw a bright light up to the upper-right of my eyes. I looked and it was very fireball looking like the brightest star in the sky which I knew I hadn’t seen before as I had been star gazing for about 30 minutes. The light was circular and dimmed out very quickly as it moved in an upward/southern/away motion on an xyz plane and looked as if it was moving slower and slower as it finally, slowly went out of sight. This lasted ~15 seconds. I had seen 2 other very same instances of the very same way which one happened in the very same place (at my new home and in the same area). The other instace was ~3years ago, only this one looked like a satellite moving across the sky from north to south and I was looking Eastward. It stopped for about 5 seconds, then slowly lowered for about 3 seconds and stopped again. It right away seemed to get much brighter like a spotlight looking left of me (northwest). It rotated 3 seconds until it finally seemed to be facing directly at me. I called my friend to look which was running from the patio which was about 50 feet away, and right away (coincidentally as if it heard me, just like when I called my other friend to look at the most recent siting), the object went in the same motion only moved SouthEast; then was as dim as original brightness. It began moving in the same direction as originally with what looked like the same angle of height (about same as other sitings) for about 3 seconds and when he finally got to me, the light was faded out of sight.
