I was sitting in my truck at the stop light on Riva Rd waiting to cross under Aris T> Allen overpass and go up the ramp. Suddenly an oval shadow caught my eye moving from right(NE) to left (SE). It was about 50 feet wide and 30 feet high. The shadow flashed across the road in front of me then was clear as day on the brick sidewall of the overpass as it moved away at a speed of over 100 MPH. I immediately assumed it was an airliner as Baltimore Washington International Airport is about fifteen miles away so I looked up in the air and their was nothing. Since it was a warm day I had my window down. There was absolutely no sound. I thought that perhaps it had been a State Police Helicopter. There was nothing and their Dauphin Helicopters have a distinctive sound. There was not a cloud in the sky. There was nothing that could have made that distinctive oval shadow moving at a high rate of speed without one sound. I am a US Air Force veteran and aviation nut so I pay close attention to anything that flies. I have no explanation for this incident.
