NUFORC Sighting 80137

Occurred: 2011-01-28 22:30 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2011-02-19 20:53 Pacific
Duration: 10 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Gainesville, GA, USA

Shape:


Faint, slow moving light that dissappeared on or about 01/28/11 in the skies over Gaineville, GA

At approximately 10:30 PM on or about January 28, 2011, I observed what appeared to be a faint star in the Northeastern sky, at 50 degrees inclination. This point of light moved southerly in a straight line for approximately 5-10 degrees for a duration of 10 seconds. Its light magnitude neither increased nor decreased as it traversed and I would estimate its magnitude to be about 3. There were no aircraft strobes present on the object and it was much fainter than any aircraft I have observed before.

I am an independent contractor with an interest in astronomy and I can’t offer an explanation for what I saw. It moved much too slowly to be a meteor and simply disappeared on a moonless cloudless night.
