Reported: 2011-12-26 13:35 Pacific
Duration: 3 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Albany, NY, USA

Shape: Oval
Characteristics: Changed Colo

I had stepped outside and noticed in the southern sky a shiny oval shaped reflection which I initially thought was a plane. The brightness of the object caught my eye and I originally watched as I thought this must be light reflecting off a plane however within 3 seconds the object had just disappeared. There was no contrail and the object appeared to be at an high altitude and in the distance so I heard no sound.

In summary, a brightly reflecting oval shape drew my attention when I stepped outside around 3:30 pm this afternoon in Albany, New York. The object was moving away from my vantage point and the object had vanished within 3 to 5 seconds of me noticing it and observing it directly as I originally thought it was a plane. I had fixed my gaze on the object as I believed it was so shiny due to the sun's reflection. The shiny decreased iinstantaneously into a blackish color as the object "vanished" into thin air.
