NUFORC Sighting 134419

Occurred: 2017-06-03 22:55 Local
Reported: 2017-06-03 19:18 Pacific
Duration: 00:05
No of observers: 2

Location: Nashville, TN, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object

Bright, irregular, flashes across the night sky similar to alien Iridium flare.

The object started near west (~260 deg) and continued to east alternating between very bright flashes and dim flashes over different intervals. It crossed near the rate of a plane but very direct. It was dusk with just a bit of light blue on the horizon and the stars of the Big Dipper were just becoming visible. The brightness for a brief flash was as bright as the surface of the moon and was consistently brighter than Venus. I checked HA ((www.Heavens-Above.com)), and nothing matched the discription.

NUFORC Note:

We have amended the time above, in order to reflect a nighttime sighting. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be serious-minded. We suspect that he is a very good witness. PD
