Flash of light and huge object blending in with the night sky
My husband and I were outside our home. It was a clear night. There was suddenly a bright flash that lit up the whole sky-like lightning, except there were no clouds and no thunder followed. We both looked up in the sky and were searching for the source of the flash, when I saw an object moving slowly in a East-South East direction. To me the object appeared to be see-through, as I could barely tell it was there at first. It seemed to blend in with the dark sky and the stars. But, as it moved there were a few lights on the bottom and I knew I was no longer looking at stars. It was huge (If I hold a ruler 12" from the bridge of my nose, the object would have been at least 4" long x 3" wide.) I asked my husband if he saw it and he said he did. As it moved away from us, it gained in speed and in an instant was gone.
I have waited almost 2 months to report this due to the strange weather we've been having in the area. My husband and I discussed what to do, and we decided to wait and see if it came back. Shortly after this sighting we were struck with a "freak" snowstorm and internet service was knocked out for 4 days. Then, last month, we had 2 severe wind storms, which we are still dealing with the damage from; and again we lost internet service for 5 days.
So, thanks to calm weather this week, I am finally able to report what we saw.
