| Remarks | This is most of what I wrote about 1-1/2 hours after my sighting: I was travelling westward when a bright light suddenly appeared a bit to the right as I was watching the road in front of me. It was a beautiful, moving light (going north to south), shaped kind of like a squat cone, with a rounded, intensely blue-white front section (blue front edge with white behind that) and an elongated, perfectly symmetrical triangular hind end of orange that rapidly became a deep red. Off the sharp point at the end of the cone was a narrow smoky-coloured tail that was about the length or a bit longer than the cone. The colours were very sharp and clear, giving the impression that it was not far away.I could see it through the tree tops as it passed to the edge of my windshield (I leaned forward to keep it in view), and then suddenly it disappeared. I could not tell if a building blocked my view, but it did not reappear out my side window when I leaned back into my seat.The duration of the light was 3 or 4 seconds. The size of the moving ball (front of the cone) would be a bit smaller than a stop light as you sat under one in traffic, and about half that brightness in an equivalent residential area of a town night sky with trees blocking streetlights. |
