I felt it important to report this to you as I know it was an astronomical event and not a mere airplane traveling across the sky....it was much bigger, brighter and faster. It occurred just a few minutes before the sunrise this morning.

Almost looked hazy with colors of yellow fading to white. Appeared to glow but didn\'t last very long as the object traveled over the sky.
