A mystery? A mystery implies, no ‘idea’; no clue; no possibiliies; no probabilities. So, what- at the least and most - might/could this be?

Had a sighting 2 nights ago over Lake Champlain wobbling fast object changing colors chased by fighter jet north to south, watched through binoculars; second time this happened in 5 years.

During the past couple of months, the nights have been very clear here in Arizona. You should see how many drivers swerve to miss Venus in the evenings.

Possibly just a backfire when Hillary was coming in for a broom landing?

If it had hit the aircraft it would be classified as a frayed wire in the center fuel tank.

A frayed wire? Couldn’t that generate a spark of static electricity? They say Jet A becomes even more volatile after it gets heated.
