NUFORC Sighting 66537
Occurred: 2008-10-22 23:55 LocalReported: 2008-10-29 16:22 Pacific
Duration: 4-5 seconds
No of observers: 1
Location: Western PA (enroute to OH), PA, USA
Shape: Unknown
Characteristics: Left a trail
fast flying object leaving a trail
We stopped at a rest stop in far west Pennsylvania on our way to Youngstown ohio. My friend was inside the rest stop building.
I was stretching my legs and and happened to be looking into the sky. An object sped from the northeast to the southwest in a straight line. It covered the entire viewing area in 4 or 5 seconds. It moved so fast that it appeared to leave a trail (or maybe that was just an illusion because of the speed of this object.) It was much larger than a shooting star would appear to be. The fact that it flew in a straight line, lasted the entire length of my view of the sky, flew much faster than a shooting star would appear too, and seemed to be in our atmosphere caused me to rule out the notion that it was a star.
The color seemed to be somewhere between yellow and orange...but not white.
