Visiting the area and while walking the dog at 16:46 noticed a bright object ahead of a jet leaving contrails both moving rapidly
On March, 19th, Saturday, at about 16:46 I was visiting Lexington, Va and I was walking my dog on Dorman Lane looking southeast. When I noticed a bright “dot” in the sky. I then noticed a jet aircraft to the left (further East) about 1-3 miles away. I estimate the jet was about 25,000 to 30,000 feet in altitude and traveling southeast towards southwest.
Although a blue sky there were white fluffy clouds all around.
I noticed that the bright “dot” was traveling slightly faster than the jet and the jet appeared to be following it. I grabbed my iPhone and quickly took several photos.
I could clearly see the wings of the jet, and it had the typical jet contrail, however, saw no wings on the “dot” and the “dot” had no contrail at all.
As it went through the clouds and reappeared several times I was able to get photos. The jet and “dot” disappeared behind a large cloud.
When you enlarge the photos you cannot see much details of the “dot” but you can see the jets wings and no wings visible at all on the “dot”. No sound from the jet could be heard, due to its altitude and no other sound from the “dot” could be hurt.
Since it is an iPhone and the photos are made in Live View you can press on the photo on an Apple product and see brief motion, like a short video, you can also enlarge while in video mode.
Although I have uploaded photos for you to review and I retain the rights and ownership.
