It was the day of the Leonid Meteor Shower. I was out with my wife in the middle of a playground around 4 - 5:00 AM star gazing and watching out for meteors. There were other star gazers too.
I was looking at a particular star formation/constellation when I noticed one of the 'stars' moving. It was really far off, like a dim star, so it was difficult to point out to my wife. It kept moving in a straight line from west to east across the sky. I was excited because I thought it was a UFO! My wife completely believes in UFOs but she reasoned that it might have been a satellite as they are sometimes visible to the naked eye. I was somewhat convinced.
However, after a while I noticed another 'star' moving in a similar fashion, this time from south to north. Now this one was not moving in a straight line, it was moving in a somewhat zigzag and erratic motion but generally from south to north. Now this could not be a satellite as it wasn't moving straight. The distance was too great to have been a plane and why would a plane or satellite move in a zigzag pattern? After sometime it faded away and I lost sight of it.
Though we would love to see a real UFO up close, I really hope what I saw was a UFO!
