Description (In Witness's Own Words):  I saw an Erratic moving ball of light move side to side and up and down. It moved too quickly to be a helicopter.  It emitted sparks periodically.

Investigator's Notes: Little is known about this sighting given the brief report by the witness.  The description could possibly be a meteor, but the movement suggests otherwise. Insufficient data exists to identify this sighting.
