A witness observed a linear, metallic gray object with a bright white light traveling east to west at approximately 5000 feet altitude for 5-10 seconds before the light extinguished and the object vanished. The object was described as larger than a drone but smaller than a 737 aircraft.

“At about three quarters of the windshield up, [redacted] saw a linear object with a super bright light on the east side of the object. The light was bright white and bright enough to see bands within the light. The object was metallic / gray in color. It did not have any wings or exhaust. The object was smaller than a 737, one to two Blackhawk helicopters in length and was definitely bigger than a drone. The object was approximately 5000 feet above ground level, and moved east to west parallel to the ground. The object was visible for five to ten seconds and then the light went out and the object vanished.”
