Duration: 45 minutes
No of observers: 0

Location: Ball Ground, GA, USA

Shape: Orb

Large diameter bright white orb (security camera video recording)

Reviewing security video, from last night, due to my dogs barking last night.

When I was reviewing the security video I noticed a very bright orb enter the left top of the frame. Almost the diameter of a full moon.

The diameter of the object is surprising. From the time of entry into the video frame, to loss of site behind the treeline is 45 min. I don't know the scale, but about an 3/4" of travel in the video.

I have never seen a planet nor a star with that much luminance, nor the diameter.

We live in a heavily wooded area. This video was taken through a dense tree line.

The density of the orb overcomes this without distortion to the intensity until it dropped below the distant mountain tree line
