SIGHTING: CARMEL, INDIANA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"While walking the dog on a perfectly clear evening at 955pm i observed a orange glowing object traveling in a straight line in a ne to se direction. at first i thought it was fireworks since it was july 2. then i thought it was a drone. but the object did not fizzle out like fireworks and there was no sound like a drone or erratic flight. the object was cigar shaped. no flashing lights but gave off a bright orange glow. i followed the flight of the object for several hundred feet before i lost sight of it over some trees. i captured a poor image of the object due to the time of day. it was getting dark and the object was moving at a pretty good speed before i was able to take the picture. i walk the dog at this spot at least 3 times a day and have not observed a similar incident. as an avid sky watcher, i can honestly say this was not anything normal such as drone or fireworks."
