NUFORC Sighting 70649

Occurred: 2009-06-22 08:45 Local
Reported: 2009-06-22 18:05 Pacific
Duration: 2-3 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Rockville Center, NY, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Circular light without any structure denoting an airplane on Long Island.

When I was standing outside my apartment (which is in a complex with other apartments surrounding on the ground floor), blowing a paper blowhorn (the reason I was out as it was annoying those inside) and walking the shared sidewalk I spotted a large circular light that reminded me of a flashlight. The light shone through between a group of trees and a house in front of me but I could tell it was much farther away. I immediately ran away to call someone in my apartment to the light, but when I went to get another glance before he came out it was completely gone. It was only a minute later that I decided to file this report.

A lot of airplanes fly by here because Queens (where New York's two airports are located) is adjacent to Long Island. But the light had no surrounding structure, though it was getting dark I believe there was enough light for me to have seen it's sturcture if it was a plane.
