Two bright reddish orange objects hovering over tree line.

Driving in an easterly direction, on Hwy 190 between Port Barre and Krotz Springs, I noticed two bright reddish orange objects in the sky. The objects were hovering over the tree line next to the westbound lane of Hwy 190.

I turned off Hwy 190 onto Spillway Road and stopped my vehicle. I turned the engine off and got out so I could get a closer look and take some pictures.

I'm not sure exactly how high they were hovering, but if it would have been drones, I would have heard them. We've had drones fly in this area and I can hear them when they fly at distances a lot further than these objects.

It was totally silent, there was no humming or any kind of noise coming from that direction. The two objects hovered there until I got back in my vehicle. My husband was with me and he said he didn't hear any noise either.

As we proceeded in a southerly direction on Spillway Road, the two objects slowly started to move apart from each other, but they were moving in the same direction as I was moving. The two objects basically stayed directly over the bayou that Spillway Road runs next to.

As the objects kept a small distance behind us, but still moving apart from each other, they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

We were about 1/2 a mile from our house when they disappeared. When I got home, I told my son and his friend what we saw and they said they had seen the two objects hovering in that same exact spot just about five minutes before us, when they were riding the fourwheeler. They confirmed this again when I showed them the pictures I took.

It wasn't until I looked over the pictures and zoomed in for a closer look that I realized there were several lights on each object.

Object displays remarkable variations in speed high in the night skies over Louisiana

On the night of Aug 31, 2006 at approximately 20:40hrs I was outside sitting on the steps of my home waiting on my son to return from the neighbors. While attempting to make a phone call I began staring at the moon (it was waxing at a half crescent). I cancelled the call and scrolled the sky until I was at about an 80 degree angle just north of the moon. A brighter than usual star (maybe -1 mag.) caught my attention. It was moving east to west at a fairly high rate of speed. It was circular in shape and white in color. There was no trail what so ever. I assumed it was a satellite and decided to watch it until it disappeared from the horizon. After several seconds I was astonished. The object slowed and than at that instant, it made a 90 degree direction change and accelerated to an astonishing speed. It was out of sight in a second or fraction of. As for my background, I have a BS in biology and chemistry and currently work as an analytical chemist for a local company. I have NEVER experienced any "sightings" before and though I support MUFON (probably the only Louisiana member) I am a scientist and I try to take an unbiased look at everything. In the case of this sighting, scientifically, it could have possibly been a meteor being "deflected" in the atmosphere but there was NO BURN TRAIL and the way it varied its speed was just remarkable.




NUFORC Note:

Artificial satellites do not have a westerly component to their groundtrack, so the object could not have been a satellite, if the estimate of direction by the witness is correct. PD
