Reports Report 2964a (Event 2964-2025)

Observer
Name Dr Keith G
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The trajectory seen in the video is taken while driving north on US HWY 27 between Lake Placid and Sebring, FL. I turned right off the highway onto an unknown road for about 1/4 mile to stop in a clearing to take the still photos, which appear to capture a mirrored trajectory that I can only assume is a result of being viewed from an entirely different angle and location, but my best guess is that the object was travelling North-Northwest for several minutes without any known reports of spacecraft launching nor returning to Florida the evening of Memorial Day (8:17pm) about an hour before sunset... I'll look forward to learning more about what we saw based on your expert analyses. Thank you in advance for your help and consideration.
