Charles Town, West Virginia (United States)

Sighted on Tuesday 31. May 2016
Reported on
Shape: Unknown | Duration: Undisclosed
Source:

I got out of my truck and instantly saw a very bright flash of light. I first thought it was a plane but it was brighter than that and no other lights associated with it. It flashed several more times and I never could see any other marker lights. It flashed once in or above a cloud and it made the entire cloud flash too. The flashes were random in length in between flashes. It moved very slowly and it was pretty high up. I've seen planes and they fly a lot faster than this.
