Slow moving, glowing white rectangle with rounded ends and blinking lights at one end.

Last week, I woke up one night at 3:30 a.m. to turn off the fan I had running in my upstairs bedroom window. The blinds were pulled up and I looked out to see the meadow and trees behind my townhouse. To my surprise, up in the sky – several miles away was something I have never seen before. It was a long rectangle with rounded ends. It was white – glowing – large and quiet. There were blinking lights on one end of it. It moved very slowly through the night sky while keeping parallel to the earth but moving closer to the ground before going what seemed to be straight down. Then it was obliterated by the trees and I could not see it any more.

I know it was not a plane – it was too low in the sky and too large to not be heard. Also, it did not move like one. I was transfixed by it. I always thought I would feel great excitement or fear if I ever saw one, but I didn’t. It just mesmerized me. After it disappeared I went to bed. I have not seen it since.

I am a college educated, open-minded and grounded person. I understand this may not have been a UFO – but for the life of me, I cannot imagine what else it could have been.
