Location: Jonesborough, TN, USA

Shape: Light


Unusual light moving across the sky.

At approximately 9:45 pm I saw a light moving across the sky from a north to south direction. When I first saw the object I mistook it for a bright star. It was white and moved across the sky at a moderate rate of speed (much too slow to be a meteorite). There is an airport nearby, so I see planes almost every night. Normally a plane has flashing lights and has the usual jet or propeller noise. This object was completely silent. It did not flash or change color. I cannot estimate its exact speed or altitude. Its speed was not unusual. It moved in a straight line and exhibited no abnormal changes in direction. It appeared to be flying fairly low in the sky, much lower than most conventional aircraft that I regularly observe. I cannot claim that this was a genuine UFO, but I have never seen a conventional aircraft that looked like a bright white star. It was low enough in the sky that I should have heard some sort of engine noise. Again, this obje! ct was completely silent. I did not have my smart phone or a camera with me, so I was unable to provide any documentation.
