I pointed it out to my buddies and they saw it as well. We kept watching it, trying to decide if it was a plane or a satellite. We deduced it was too high for a plane. As we kept watching it, it started to make sharp "S" turns!!! We all looked at each other like, WTF? It then started to go straight and then disappeared. We kept our eyes in the sky and it came back a few seconds later, now going the opposite way. It started going straight and then started to make those "S" turns again and then disappeared.
I've actually seen this once before in my life a long time ago in Calgary. The object was flying slow, a few "s" turns, but this one actually made a u-turn and then sped up and disappeared. I never really talked about it and just kind of put it in the back of mind, until tonight.
What the hell was it??? Sorry no photos, just eye witnesses. Has anyone seen this before?

Hey Neeper...I saw something similar here last week (minus the s turns). I told my wife about it the next day, so she can vouch!
I think it would have been about last Wednesday at around 8 or 9 pm., a nice clear evening. I was finishing work, fueling up my truck. Where I fuel it's very dark, not a lot of light around, so I often get a good look at the night sky without much light in the way. In the western sky I noticed a fairly bright light, slowly moving across the sky due east. It kind of caught my eye because there was no flashing lights that you would see on a plane. It was like the same height as say a 35,000 foot airplane, but moving quicker, and no flashing or twinkling at all, just a solid white light. My uneducated opinion therefore detemined that it likely wasn't a satellite either, as they usually are less bright, move slower, look more like a moving star. I watched it the whole time as it moved right over top of me, then at say 1 o clock from where I was standing, toward the eastern sky it just quickly vanished. The light dimmed for about 5-10 seconds first, then poof....it was gone. I stood there for a minute or so after, kind of dumbfounded, almost waiting for it to reappear, but whatever it was it was gone.
I dont have a clue what it might have been. Kind of unspectacular as far as UFO's go I guess. I'm quite certain it wasn't a plane. Planes dont disappear. Some kind of space junk that burnt up maybe, I dunno. Thing is the speed of it was consistent right across the sky over top of me, not like it was falling. Weird, who knows.
