Emporia, KS

Suddenly, my eyes pictured a small white line floating across the sky. Within a blink, there was another similar silverline a short distance away but at the same level, floating across the sky. Initially, I thought this could be a contail of a fighter jet. But It did not change its appearance and did not vanish through the clouds. I checked with Google maps and we were in Emporia, Kansas, at that time. Location came up on google as 38.393, -96.254 at 9:19:28 pm Eastern time. I zoomed at the picture to have a close inspection, and it appeared to be a disk shaped small silver line object floating with a dome flattened on the sides. I wondered, was it a celestial body?

Emporia, KS

I was taking my dog out like I normally do around that time, when I noticed a very bright like what I originally thought was a star just above the moon, I began looking at other stars and noticed this one was much brighter. That's when it began to move what looked like higher into the sky then I watched it fly across the skymuch faster than a plane would have but not so fast that I couldn't watch it, it was a solid ball of bright light and I watched it until it disappeared and I could no longer see it, just before it disappeared a plane crossed right behind it flashing red then white like they normally do, and that's when I realized that ball of light was much larger than the plane was, then the light faded away in the distance
