Red/Orange glowing object hovered over the Channel Islands then glided away silently.

It was just after the sun set over the Channel Islands. A red shaped object darted from the horizon to above the island (Santa Cruz Island). I then rushed to my telescope to get a closer look. I could not make out a definite shape of the object, it had a red/orange glow. It hovered over the island for a few seconds then began to glide WNW, making no sound at all. At that point the object disapeared into the atmosphere.




NUFORC Note:

Student report. We wonder whether the witness might have been witnessing a high-altitude aircraft, or contrail behind an a/c. Only a guess, on our part. PD
