Faint chevron-shaped object over Charlotte, NC
(09/13/2009, apx. 5 AM)
I was standing in front of my house. Looking to the east, I saw what appeared to be sort of a bow or boomerang shape (135 degree angle) about two or three inches from tip to tip "visual size". It was dim, perhaps transparent; I could barely make it out. I just noticed the movement - it would have been easy to miss. It did not have any details or color I could make out. My impression was that it was anywhere from a few feet from tip to tip to maybe 10 feet. It seemed to be around 50 to 100 ft. away, moving 10-20 mph. The bow center or angle corner was the front. It moved silently in a straight line towards the south or southeast. It went behind the trees, and I didn't see it again after that. The total duration of the sighting was about five seconds.
I will admit that what I saw could have very well been an owl or something (or even a trick of the eyes, e.g. a "floater"), but I cannot be certain, so I thought it would not hurt to report it, especially since I witnessed a very similar phenomena a year or two earlier.
