My boyfriend and i were just about to leave to see the meteor shower when i decided to look out the window at the sky. to my surprise we both witnessed a very large low flying orb that at first was stationary then floated very very slow toward the south. i had no camera handy but grabbed a pair of binoculars but could not get them to focus. it went behind the trees and i was unable to view it anymore. we both decided while watching it that it could not possibly be a plane or a helicopter. it was too large, too bight and too slow.
