Witness account

Narrative

I was watching the flyover in DC tonight and immediately saw this strange orb that appeared briefly after the Thunderbird F16 demonstration. This was spotted at about 6:57pm and it seemed to travel in a very abnormal and straight pattern. Maybe this has a common explanation, but I would love to see if anyone has seen something similar to this. submitted by /u/MoldyRiceWater
