Did You Ever See a U F O?

When I was 11 or 12, I was climbing the steps to our porch one night...

We lived fairly close to Wright-Patt AFB, which was a test wing, so I was aware of all sorts of things flying around, and how lots of different types of aircraft normally behaved.

WPAFB was also, if you recall, the headquarters of "Project Blue Book", the USAF "official" investigations into UFO sightings.

Anyway...as I looked up at the night sky (as I often did), I noticed what I thought was just a usual high altitude airplane.
Just a pin-pont of light traveling across the sky...as I continued to watch however, it made some pretty strange maneuvers.

First, it stopped.
Not terribly unusual, but odd for something so high up.

Next, it moved back in the direction it had just come from in a sharp zig-zag pattern, changing directions rapidly.
That's a fairly odd pattern...for anything.

Finally, it reversed direction again, and then accelerated so fast I couldn't keep up with it.
Again, an odd movement for something as proportionately small against such a large backdrop, and even stranger considering the stopping, reversing, and zig-zagging it had just done.

Usually highly maneuverable and super speed are qualities not present in the same craft.

Unidentified?

I certainly could not identify it, and I still don't know of any craft capable of moving like that.
