NUFORC Sighting 20542

Occurred: 2001-11-18 04:00 Local
Reported: 2001-11-22 20:31 Pacific
Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 2

Location: Baltimore, MD, USA

Shape: Cigar
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Long, transparent object moving sideways across sky.

We were lying on our backs watching the Leonids. Saw a string of 10 - 15 tiny, faint lights. An aura around the lights blended into one semi-transparent cigar shaped object. Oriented vertically, it moved sideways across the sky. (One person did not see the lights, only the shape.) It did not fade or change shape, but it seemed soft/transparent, not solid. It did not leave a trail. Moved slowly and steadily, about the speed of a high-flying jet (as seen from the ground). We noticed it when it was directly above, and watched it until it was obscured by the treeline.
