| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | After viewing Venus and Jupiter in the morning sky, i just happened to look up and see a bright light, as bright as a landing light from an airplane, hovering above the field staying still for a few seconds, then started slowly moving toward the southern direction, the speed started increasing, the light of the object getting dimmer falling quickly to the earth, 20 degrees above the southern horizon the light disappeared. The whole event maybe 10+ seconds long. I did not notice any tail. WOW! |
