Narrative

I’ve been thinking about this since I saw it a couple months ago. I live in NE Iowa and it was moving at a medium/fast pace going N/NW around 10:30-11pm. Maybe a mile or 2 high, sorta like a 2 seater plane fly height. 4 solid lights in a row caught my eye but there was too much light pollution to see a great outline of the ship. Anything helps thanks! submitted by /u/Simply_Sween
