Reported: 1999-08-04 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 1 second or less
No of observers: 2

Location: Cockeysville, MD, USA

Shape: Light

I breifly looked up and saw a white light flash across above the treeline then disappear because of its rapid speed.

The object was a perfectly circular ball of light that was moving at a very rapid speed and was in view for approx 1 second but immediatly after I saw it I asked the 2 other people with me if they had and 1 had seen it, the other had not. It passed above us in the north in a break in the treeline. I imagine that in all likelyhood that it was just an unusually bright circular meterorite.
