Uncommonly fast moving light east of Albany, NY
While driving southbound on State Route 278, approximately 1/10 of a mile south of state Route 2, my wife and I saw a bright aircraft-like light traveling at great speed in a west-south-west direction. Because of the speed, it would be arguable the light was an aircraft crashing toward the sky. Because we were driving we were not able to hear any sound. The object was visible for approximately 1 to 2 seconds, then had passed the horizon. Estimated speed would be 3000 - 5000 MPH. Unable to determine elevation. Did not see shape of object, only the light. This is a rural area and where I live, there are few streetlights. I see airplanes flying overhead on a regular basis. I have also seen hundreds of 'shooting stars'. This was neither. It did not have any flashing or blinking lights like an airplane would have, and it did not have a tail like a meteor. The light was also more yellow than a meteor.
