No of observers: 2

Location: Newport News, VA, USA

Shape: Disk

Fast glowing disc through the early morning sky.

My dog noticed it first, he was looking up at the sky and backing up, so I looked up; there was a disc shaped object zig-zagging across the sky from East to West, so I yelled for my boyfriend. My boyfriend said it looked like a glowing football, I thought it looked like a disc. I was very fast and it seemed like it was producing it's own light. It made no sound and left no trail of itself being there. The sky had a few cirrus clouds, the majority of the sky was clear. There was only one and I could see it until it met the the line of trees that border the horizon, it continued to glow the entire time.
