| Name | David B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My daughter spotted it first. I thought it was airplane lights on the bottom of clouds, but as the sky continued to lighten, we found it was a cloudless sky. The object was quite bright and surrounded by a shroud of "glowing mist." It did not streak across the sky, but did have a very slight eastward direction. I would surmise it was "incoming" toward our location of observation. |
