Duration:
No of observers: 2

Location: Johnson City, TN, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Spotted a bright white light traveling east to west over Johnson City tonight. It was a simple, bright white light that was moving faster than any plane or helicopter we've seen. We saw it travel across an arc of ten or 15 degrees in the sky for about one second before it abruptly disappeared, like a light turning off. I've seen helicopters and meteor showers and this just didn't fit what I've seen before. It moved exactly like a meteor, but there was no streak behind it, and it was as bright as Venus, and it caught our eye right in the middle of town among all the street lights.
