The jet took ten about minutes to travel the distance that the light did. I saw the flashing lights on the jet like normal. I did not see any flashing lights on the other (solid white light) just one solid light. ((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that date of the event is approximate.

This took no longer than 2 minutes. There was a jet (commercial plane) flying from east to west. The jet took ten about minutes to travel the distance that the light did. I saw the flashing lights on the jet like normal. I did not see any flashing lights on the other (solid white light) just one solid light.
