Sorry. No data so far.
looks and acts like a satellite reflecting sun off of a side or surface while rotating. If he saw it three times in ten minutes along a linear trajectory it may be just that but if it appeared in different locations not in line well then….
Hey, this is my film! I saw on my youtube account that it was embedded here. :)
Joe, it definitely wasn’t a satellite. The first time it appeared due east of this filmed sighting. I was looking about 120 degrees to the west when it lit up EXTREMELY BRIGHT, catching my attention and making me turn to see what it was. Once my head turned to see it, it appeared silver and shot across the horizon due west at tremendous speed. I really wish I would have caught that on film!! The second time I saw it, it was slowly moving towards a cloud, went through it, and never came out the other end. It just disappeared through the cloud. No sign of it. The third time I saw it is captured in this footage.
Since filming this footage, I have seen it appear in 3 other video clips I’ve filmed, unbeknown to me at the time of filming. It’s some crazy stuff; never thought I’d be a “UFO hunter”, but now I’m determined to catch more sightings on film!
Cheers. :)

Thank you for the additional information about your sighting. From what you have said, it would seem to rule out Joe’s theory that what you filmed was a satellite. Hopefully you will be successful in your attempt to capture more sightings that may further explain the UFO you filmed.

This looks to me very much like a very very bright Iridium Flare. They are among the brightest things you can see in the sky, and yes they are sometimes visible in broad daylight. You can read about them on Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_flare
With the exact time and location of the sighting (including the direction you were facing) you could look this up on a site like http://heavens-above.com, though I’m not sure how far back their retroactive data goes. (Click “next 24 hrs” under “Iridium Flares” then on the screen that appears keep hitting “Prev.” until April 1 – the date of the video – appears).
Again you’ll need enter your EXACT GPS location, Iridium Flares are very specific to a location due to the angle needed for the bright reflection.

Thank you for the information and possible explanation for the sighting. Hopefully Carlos can look up when the next Iridium Flare will be and watch to see if it is what he saw and report back.
