Witness Account

I observed an unidentified aerial object travelling from east to west at extremely high speed. The object had an elongated, cigar-shaped body with two distinct circular bright white light nodes — one at each end. The entire object was uniformly enveloped in a soft, diffuse white glow, misty and haze-like in appearance. The glow was evenly distributed around the full body of the object and was not concentrated at any particular end, which rules out conventional engine exhaust or propulsion flare. The object travelled in a perfectly straight, linear trajectory at constant velocity with no acceleration, deceleration, or directional change. Its speed was estimated to be several tens of times faster than a commercial aircraft. Total duration of observation: approximately 2–3 seconds. I am experienced in observing satellites, the International Space Station, and meteors/fireballs, and can confidently rule out all of these as explanations. Summary: • Shape: elongated / cigar-shaped • Lights: two circular white nodes at each end • Glow: uniform white diffuse haze enclosing entire object • Direction of travel: east to west • Speed: estimated tens of times faster than commercial aircraft •…
