On Tuesday, August 14，2007 at about 00：45，my friend and l were watching for meteors（流星）in our yard．I saw a large triangular shaped（三角形的）thing flying across the sky．It was traveling from south to north．It seemed to have all orange fight。It only took about 5—8 seconds to travel across the sky．The most amazing thing was that it was really quiet as it traveled．We live near the airport and often hear the sound of airplanes．However, this one was really quiet．When we saw it，we both said．“What is that?” It disappeared behind a large tree in our yard．It surprised both of us and we began to describe it to nay father．Our descriptions were the same．We then went inside the house and we both drew what we saw．We hope that there are other people who were looking at the sky at the stone time that evening and saw what happened．
