| Name | J. M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was in bed. A bright light came through an upper left gap in the closed blinds covering the window. I got up and look out and up. I saw a round, orange object high in the sky moving from NNE to SSW. Not on a known airplane route. No sound. Moved over my house within a few seconds and disappeared from my view. I went to the SSW side of the house to see it emerge and it did not although could have been obscured by patio roof and then behind thick oak trees. I noted that there was a similar sighting and time on the same trajectory in Olancha, CA. Never seen anything like it. Bigger than I've seen Venus. Definitely orange. |
