No of observers: 1

Location: Virginia (while driving on I-95; 2 hrs S of Wash., D.C.), VA, USA

Shape: Cigar
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

cigar-shaped whitish object, hovering (possibly moving slightly, north to south)

I was driving from a friend's house in North Carolina, where I'd spent the weekend, to my home in Arlington, Virginia.

As I was moseying northward on I-95, I looked to my left and saw a cigar-shaped object of what seemed to be a whitish tint. The object was bright, but not too bright to look at directly (perhaps a bit brighter than a full moon).

The object seemed to be hovering, although it may have been moving slightly from north to south (since I was moving south to north, I can't be sure if this was simply motion relative to my own).

Soon, the object was obscured by the trees and I did not see it again; I may have witnessed it for close to two minutes but am not sure.
