SIGHTING: ROME, GEORGIA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"Flying on southwest flight#2452 from nashville to atlanta at an altitude of 20,000 ft.,when at 5:50pm est and orange/red orb appearing to be 20-30 ft in diameter passing below (approx,1000 ft) the plane heading at a north west direction. the sighting lasted about 6 seconds due to it's immense velocity (2 to 3 times the speed of the airliner). i asked the pilot (i guess was the captain -a four striper) if he had seen the orb and he acknowledged the sighting (he seemed surprised that i mentioned it to him). it would be easy to contact him due to the fact of having the southwest flight #2452, january 21, 2020 (there should be record of captain/pilot for that flight). please see if the captain/pilot can be contacted, thanks, mickey"
