Chevron shaped craft with ‘plasma’ trail silently screamed across 140 degrees of the visible night sky from NW to SE

At approximately 1am on Sunday October 1st, 2023, my friend and I both witnessed in it’s entirety, a dark chevron/bullet shaped craft appear out of nothing roughly 20° above the horizon from the Northwest and silently scream (the best way I can describe it’s consistent high rate of speed) across the entire visible sky to the East/Southeast where it then disappeared into nothing roughly 20° above the horizon.

This craft wasn’t high enough to be a plane at cruising altitude, and it wasn’t low enough to be a landing plane either. Behind the craft is what appeared to be an orange, red and black plasma trail (best description of the visual, certainly not saying it was for sure plasma), which was roughly 3 to 4 times the length of the craft itself. Unlike a contrail from a plane that will last in the sky for the period of time after the plane has traveled by, this plasma trail stayed at a consistent length and travel behind the craft the entire time it was visible.
The craft wasn’t super low, but it was low enough to make out edge lines and details, such as gradients or different textures on the craft itself. On this night it was also a very bright moonlight sky, which, aided in making out the edge and shape of the craft as it was clearly contrasted against the moonlight navy sky, and it’s own black/gray coloring.

I know this reporting is only available, because the people behind it believe in this kind of thing, and so do I. I don’t want to go into a long description of how I know it was not shooting star, or how I know it wasn’t a plane, or anything else that could be reasonably explained with our current means of technology. The only thing I can really say is that this has been a huge interest of mine for a long time, I’m not biased as I look at things from a logical and scientific approach. The elevation that this craft was flying at, the speed it was flying at, the way it appeared as it flew, and the fact that it made not a single speck of a sound immediately solidified in my eyes and mind as a true UAP.

I have seen many things that I can’t explain in my life in the sky, I read up and keep up with all the latest UFO/UAP research and declarations made by designated teams to study these things, such as the recent NASA panel, and the very recent congressional hearing we had on UAPs. And even through all the strange things that I have seen and cannot explain myself, at the end of the day in my mind, I still said well there could be an explanation for what I saw I’m just not aware of it, a human explanation that is.

But I can promise that what I saw does not have a human explanation. I am no certified expert, however, I am a very well-versed mind in the field of UFO/ UAP’s. I have taken multiple collegiate level classes at Arizona State University in astronomy, my understanding of the stars is above average in terms of our society in the United States. If I was able to record at all what I saw, aside from any evidence that is currently being withheld from the public by the governments of the world, what I saw would be the smoking gun evidence the world would need to believe UAPs.

An interesting part is that in the past all the things that I have seen that I can’t explain, I have always been alone. However, for this one, which is by far exponentially the craziest thing that I have ever seen, I had a friend with me. WhileI am agnostic if you will, and really approach most of everything in life with a scientific approach, she is not. She is an extremely religious person, who does not, and has not ever given UFO/UAP the time of day she seldom looks up into the night sky. However, on this night after we got home from seeing a movie and going for a short drive, I suggested we walk to my backyard as I had this instinct, I got a gut feeling that we would see something. I said, “I bet if we walk back there, we will see within five minutes.” Not only did we see something, we saw the craziest thing either of us have ever seen in our lives. The most unexplainable thing that either of us have ever seen in our lives; and our experience and description of the craft are identical, even though our upbringing and beliefs are not.

If I can find footage of what I saw, maybe from the neighbors ring door camera, and can get access to some sort of radar records of the area at that time of that night, I know that we can bring to light what we saw that night.
