"The light was quite bright and large with no indicators of it being an aircraft or drone," he said. "It did not have a red, green or white strobe. It was too low, large and bright to be a satellite or the International Space Station and would be much, much smaller if it was."

The man said he reported the sighting to the national UFO reporting center in Davenport, Washington, and will next report it to MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network, a nonprofit volunteer organization that studies UFO sightings.
