Short Summary:

On January 28, 2011, at approximately 10:45 p.m., two witnesses saw a reddish light that was stationary. It was compared to a fireball. This object hovered in the sky for about three minutes. Then, they shone their cell phone's screen light at the object to see if it would react. It did, and the object's light diminished. It slowly began to move. Further questioning revealed that the object appeared east of the local sports field along Chemnitzer Straße and flew parallel to it. The object then moved silently toward Dresden, visually passing over Franz-Kögler-Ring and Karl-Kegel-Straße. A video of the UFO sighting was recorded.
