Name Marina C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was very odd, we stood outside watching various planes (we are near the ORF airport and lots of military aircraft) but we’ve lived here our whole lives and have never seen anything like this. No contrail, no sounds, seemed very close and VERY bright, we thought it was a shooting star and kept waiting for it to “blink out” and it didn’t. it went behind some trees and we waited to see it come out the other side and didn’t
