Full Description & DetailsAviation ..enthusiasts, and I don't want to give my exact location, and this is not like me because I am familiar with what all air traffic looks like over our location, even the occasional medical transports. This was unique. Total stealth. Totally silent. In a flight pattern we don't see often because of altitude/speed. (approx 10,000) It passed directly overhead. So why the extreme illumination? ( Not like headlights or foglights, there was no forward illumination and the light didn't change shape or intensity from horizon to horizon or point of view!??) Just a very bright light. With binoculars I still could not make out a shape beyond it or because of the light. Unidentified -Unidentifiable. The night was very quiet. Four of us were outside to watch it come in to view and as it passed overhead doing ~521 knots.. I was amazed.."Where's the sound?" Still waiting to hear some backwash of sound as it passed us continuing on a straight NE heading.. Nothing goes 600 mph that low with no sound. Only as it faded to the opposite horizon, before passing behind trees in the distance did the color in the binoculars seem to change to a slight orange. I felt.... this has to be military, right? So why the intense light if it's stealth? This is the only reporting we'll do cause.... after tonight we decided...it never happened, y'know? Witness Backgroundsorry. Other CommentsI feel I'm going way out on the limb reporting this to you as we all are going to forget it. And fast.
