Witness Account

4 witnesses saw on the night of April 3rd, 2026, at approximately 10:15pm an unusually bright white star appear in a cloudy east-southeastern sky at an estimated 20-30° altitude, which then rapidly and instantaneously moved across the sky in a west-soutwestward direction at a very rapid pace. As the object moved it cast a constant white light on the clouds as it flew through the cloud layer. The object silently flew past witnesses with a straight and level trajectory and was then obscured by treeline, crossing the sky over an estimated 2 seconds.
