This evening at 9:16 EDT a group of us were watching a few astronomy objects near Allentown, PA's (lat 40.6, long -75.5) Lehigh Valley International Airport, when an odd sight was seen 30 degrees in the south. Particularly weird was I was just starting on my story about a UFO I had seen several years ago (which was easily identified through a telescope as two large planes in the act of refueling quit neat) At that moment what we saw was really strange. At first it was surely an airplane shining its landing lights as if it were flying to the right in a fog so as to see its diverging shine flaring out to the right as if it were flying right and were were next to an airport so it just was neat. It was extremely sharp at its left side and its upper and lower boundaries but it was odd as the sky was crystal clear and it was odd as the was getting larger as if coming to toward us. I really couldn't see the light source of the head light ever and as our group watched, it just became an amorphous faint cloud and faded away - all in about 15 seconds. To go from such a distinct thin pie shaped object to a fading round blob - all about 1 to 2 degrees wide. Could this have been a fuel dump? Was it too large? Were any new rockets up there this evening? Hope this wasn't too ridiculous to report.
