| Observer | |

| Name | Dan D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving, and lost it as I went into valleys. I saw it for for about 10 seconds, then again for about 4-6 seconds. It did not appear to move. Sunset at this longitude was 20:32hrs. It not for the direction and time, I would have thought it was the setting sun. Very bright, round, It was approximately 3/4" diameter at arms length. Appeared to not be moving. Could have moved behind clouds or clouds could have moved in front of it. I was a meteorologist. I was not drinking or on drugs and of sound mind. If it was moving, it may have been in upper atmosphere over NY or Canada and moving directly towards me. Freaked me out a bit, as I could not explain it logically in my mind. |
