Did anyone else see the UFO near Rattlesnake Island Saturday Night???

[IslandRadio]

Ok, first of all, this was witnessed by 4 people who were sitting with me on the deck, so I'm not crazy

At approximately 9:05pm this evening, a red-orange glowing object rose out of the Southern sky (South of our place, which is on the South-West side of Rattlesnake Island, almost in Young's Cove on the Peninsula) - rising fairly quickly, and then slowed dramatically, took a slow right turn (heading more or less South-East of our place), and then essentially faded out pretty quickly and disappeared.

This was fairly bright, and appeared to have what can best be described as a "soft" appearance. The light was gentle; not harsh.

One of the people who saw this is a pilot, and said this was not a plane or a helicopter. We thought of a balloon, but it rose very quickly - then stopped.

The thing was so unusual and bright that I figure someone else MUST have seen it. Much larger than a plane - about 1/3 the size of the visible moon this evening (which is about a half moon).

The object was in the air for at least a minute or so, maybe longer. At first I saw it out of the corner of my eye, and didn't pay much attention. But, as it rose higher in the sky, we all realized that this was not a plane or anything we could easily explain.

I'm making no speculation as to what this is/was or where it came from. It is simply, at this time, an "Unidentified" (we couldn't identify it)
"Flying" (it was definitely in the air) "Object".
