Reports Report 1402ae (Event 1402-2026)
| Observer | |

| Name | Dan H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Not sure when the object entered my field of view due to significant light distractions (flood lights, and sky lit by nearly-full moon). Light looked similar to an aircraft, but wasn't traveling toward airport (closest one is only ~1.5 mi away), didn't produce sound, didn't have flashing navigation lights, and traveled very fast directly toward the horizon (so if it were an aircraft's landing lights, they wouldn't be visible from my perspective). Cloud cover at the time was 0%, so the light quickly fading away couldn't have been an object passing behind a cloud. |
