Bluish white light UFO flying low at high speed above Baltimore Washington Pky, Dec 23, 2007

On December 23, 2007 at approximately 6:45pm I was driving with my 21 year old daughter, south on the Baltimore Washington Parkway around Bowie, MD. (just before the NASA exit)

The strip of bluish white light caught my attention as it was directly in front of me flying low. I watched this object for about 5 seconds and then it disappeared.

I thought it must have vanished behind a cloud, however there were only thinly scattered clouds at that time.

My daughter looked at me, after it vanished, and asked, "Did you see that?"

We discussed what it could be, but knew it wasn't a shooting star or any aircraft we have ever seen.

I am in the aviation business and have attended airshows in Paris and Dubai and have never seen anything fly like this.

This object was about the length of two full moons and its movement was smooth, direct and fast. It flew in an angle downward from the right to the left and it flew low. It came suddenly and disappeared suddenly.
