Navy Pilot And Family Baffled By
Orange Light Over Memphis Tennessee

Date: July 3, 2010
Time: Evening.

We also witnessed the orange light on July 3rd. We live just outside Memphis, TN. My husband (a Navy pilot), 2 of our children, and I were all swimming when I noticed the light. I asked my husband immediately what it was and was surprised when he didn't know. It travelled very steadily and quietly for at least 45 seconds.

He too said that it looked like some type of rocket, or burning engine, but was not convinced that it was either. He has spent a lot of hours flying at night and had never seen anything like, which gave him the chills. I guessed it was a meteor, but after doing a little research, that didn't seem right either.

From where we were it seemed to be heading SE to NW and originally thought it was fairly close to Earth. However, we found out later that night that a friend's son had seen it from Indianapolis, so we knew it was further away than we originally thought.

If you have seen anything like this in the same area please be kind enough to contact Brian Vike at: sighting@telus.net with the details of your sighting. All personal information is kept confidential.
