My friend and I were standing in his backyard, and I caught a glimpse of a bright light with a weird tint to it, kind of a yellowish green tint. I want to say it was star-like, it was NOT a shooting star. My friend saw it at the last second but I had at least a solid 3 second visual on it. I waited for it to come out the other side of the cloud it flew into and it never came out the other side. The weather conditions that night would not be good for flying so it was kind of odd to see anything in the sky. I have never had a ufo encounter before, nor had I been a believer.
