MUFON witness report: I was outside having a smoke and noticed something shiny out of the corner of my eye. When I looked I immediately realized that it was not an airplane.

The light from the sun setting was reflecting so brightly it appeared golden in color. I ran in the house and grabbed the camera, I managed to get off one shot.

Fortunately it turned out relatively good considering the object was several thousand feet away and traveling about twice the speed of a passenger plane.

The object was about twice the size of a passenger airplane also, and it made absolutely no noise as it flew almost right over my house.

The object looked very similar to a bird, but did not appear to moving mechanically. It was traveling in an almost straight line away from the Air Force base in Kingwood WV.
