Reports Report 2990q (Event 2990-2015)

Observer
Name B P
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was so fast it went over my head and over the valley and beyond the far mountain (40+ miles away but I was at a great spot to see right over the valley on the side of a mountain basically). I have never seen anything like it, ever, and I rolled down my window instantly so I can hear the boom good because I KNOW anything going that fast will make a sonic boom...and nothing. I was shocked and wondering what I just saw. Scranton, Pa going south-south west direction as best as I can tell. Possibly one of the best things and most puzzling I have ever seen by far. With this bright light traveling so fast and going straight over our valley in 2 seconds means it has to be going well over 650mph. I live in the flight path for "Avoca-Scranton-Wilkes Barre Airport " and I see flights ALL the time both at full speed and on descent into the airport and this light I saw easily was going at least 5x as fast as anything I have ever seen in our skies and that's a pretty conservative estimate.
