    I had one similar in Florida once years ago … 25 years ago now I think … and this was in Fort Lauderdale.

    I was lying in bed in a cheap motel staring up at a sky light and I could see a few stars but not many because of the light pollution. I saw a satellite or a plane in the sky and I started to follow it. Moving from west to east. I didn’t think much of it, I’ve seen lights like it many times in Northern Ontario.

    Right directly overhead, in made a right angle turn north … then a right angle turn back east and continued on its way. It never stopped or slowed down, just turn, turn and kept going.

    I couldn’t believe it and thought maybe it was a bug on the glass? A helicopter? A speck of dust? It was weird because it followed a steady path across the sky first did a weird right angle turn twice and moved on.

    I told my wife who was with me and she didn’t think anything of it and said I probably just imagined it. Maybe I did? But I’m very certain of what I saw because I was so shocked by it. I wasn’t drinking, no drugs (legal or illegal) and I haven’t had anything like it happen to me before or since.

      Yeah mine had right angle moves too. It would drift diagonally, a bit wobbly, then a 90° turn, then float upwards, down, diagonal, all over the place. It was a solid ball of light, like a meteor, except it was bright whte/silver. Fuzzy around the edges. Then it dipped beneath the horizon and that was the end of it.
