| Remarks | We were camping and star gazing away from the city lights at Dosewallips State Park in Washington State where it was very dark. This thing was white like a star, and 100 times brighter than the brightest star in the sky. It appeared to be spinning counter clockwise at about 60 RPMs like a wheel, and left a trail from where it started to my left (north) to the far right (south), then it was gone. I was expecting a sonic boom, but it was silent. My wife saw it too. I was wondering if it might be a QSST or space junk? Wish I had a photo to share. |
