MUFON 96912

{cak} CBlue-green orb, moving quickly past my field of view, possibly over the Delaware River. I was drive home, east on 38th Street. As I crossed Washington Street, looking ahead, I could see the sky in front of me, basically filling up the windshield of my truck, except for where the row homes blocked my view. I witnessed a blue-green sphere or oval, which in my view was no larger than a pencil eraser. The object moved from right to left, it had no tail nor left a trail, and the speed seemed to remain constant. It reminded me of how fast the SR-71 Blackbirds looked when they flew by Okinawa back in 1983, when I was stationed there. I knew right away that it wasn't a plane, it was a rocket, it was the State Police helicopter, or one similar to it, which I had see heading North less than 2 minutes before. This object was moving horizontally across the sky & didn't seem like anything about to land. I called the Wilmington PD non-emergency line & was told it was water vapor reflected off the sunset. I guess Delaware has the only water vaporizing in weather less than 40 degrees.
