Duration: 5+
No of observers: 2

Location: Forest Hill, MD, USA

Shape: Light

Me and friend witness bright light in east-north-east sky, disappears suddenly

Bright, slow moving light seen East-North-East. Seen above horizon, but below cloud cover. Possible meteor entry, however speed and angle lead me to believe otherwise. Meteors would be seen as streaks with rapid movement. This was slow and bright. Not an aircraft because the light was too bright, too slow, and disappeared NOT behind cloud cover. Not a helicopter because it seemed too high, no sound, and too bright.

Me and 1 other went outside to leave for a movie. Noticed object. Stood by truck antenna as a point of reference to view movement, moving very slowly upwards. I am an astronomy minor and I ran back inside to grab binoculars. Never have seen this kind of object before, neither of us. Went back outside to find the object. About 15-30 seconds after we returned outside it disappeared from sight.
