I enjoy looking towards the stars. one night i was doing such when i whitnessed what i thought was a shooting star. it was a bright orangey yellow circle or sphere heading east with a long tail that resembles something entering the atmosphere. all of the sudden it slowed losing the distinctive tail into a perfect circle. it slowed by over half of its original speed. this really caught my attention. within a secound or two it changed its direction of travel to a north east bound directon. as it changed direction it disapered over the neighboring building. i ran to the road to try to gain a visual again but the lights from a nearby gas station obscured the night sky. that was the first and only time i have ever seen such an event
