Space object flies like warp speed across sky, stops, then goes another direction
Before going to bed I had let my pup outside in the backyard. Being a clear night I was checking out the stars/ constellations/ any satellites. I've always been a star gazer and satellite watcher.
While looking in the southwestern sky (~ 30° up) what looked like a medium bright star/ satellite proceeded to race across the sky unbelievably fast!!!! (FYI ridiculously faster than a satellite which takes ~ 3 seconds to cross my extended thumb and ~ 60 seconds to cross same amount of sky this object did in only ~ 5 seconds!!!) All I said was "Holy Sh*t!!!!" It stopped on a dime in the northern sky. Then after 20ish seconds it continued this time to the east. I lost it after a few seconds because of a large tree in the backyard. This object looked to be clearly to me outside earth's atmosphere.
KPM PS: If it's still posted, I originally reported this on the MUFON website a years ago (as being seen from nearby Lahoma, OK) Only because I really had nothing more to add when contacted and felt odd even reporting, I noticed the MUFON rep responded to my experience as only being it was probably a satellite? BS! Just because I had nothing more to add to a "MUFON investigation" don't refute/ question my report just because I didn't want them coming to my house. I'm educated w a past career (retired) requiring detail and observation when a mistake cost millions to my company.
