Carthage, Illinois - 08-12-10 - 9:30 PM

My son and I were over at a friend's down the street from our house, and we were waiting for him to get some, so we were just standing around outside.

We were talking when I saw a shooting star. The sky was very active that night, and I brought to my son's attention what I had seen.

He said, "Wow!, I would love to see one too." So, we both started to focus our attention skyward.

About five minutes later, I saw another one that my son didn't see, but then he said to me, "Dad, what is that up in the sky?

I saw what he was talking about, and this I tell you - It was NOT an airplane, or anything else of that nature.

First of all, it was way too high, we see lots of airplanes in the sky, and also that night, as they often fly over, but what we saw looked as if it was among the stars.

It moved like nothing of this world, it was way too fast, and it zig-zagged like nothing I've ever seen. Just then, my son finally got to see a shooting star, so be both kept focused on the sky, and the UFO we had seen.

About then minutes later, we saw another object join the first, and we were tracking two objects that we could not explain. They looked like they met in the same area of the sky. They moved in a south to southeast direction, like they were shot out of a cannon.

Please understand that we are very private people, and do want any kind of attention. This is not about publicity, this is just a father and son who saw something in the sky one night that we could not explain.

Thank you,

Regards,
