UFO 2011 – This unknown bright object or orb was recorded hovering in the daytime sky above Fairfax in Virginia on 29th May 2011.
Witness report: This object was filmed over Fairfax, VA from ~ 7 – 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 29, 2011. It was visible from starting at approximately 6:30 p.m. and abruptly faded from sight at 8:43 exactly. It was seen for two evenings in a row. I constantly sky-gaze in this direction, watching flight and weather patterns, and I did not notice anything like this in the days or evenings beforehand.
It was seen in the Eastern / South Eastern sky.
It is not Venus, as Venus, though visible during daylight this month, appears early morning. It is also not the ISS or Endeavor, as they were docked together, and were only visible that day over Asia.
It is also not Saturn. Although Saturn was visible during sunset this month, the light pollution and air pollution of this area at the time would have made it impossible to see at that time. It also appeared much earlier than Saturn, and faded from view much earlier than Saturn, which should have been visible until near sunset. The direction it was first spotted, which was North East, does not fit the orbital location of Saturn at the time, which would put Saturn in the South Eastern sky.
The object also had a slightly erratic flight path, unlike that of a planet or star. It is also oval shaped and bears a shadow on its bottom. If it WAS Saturn, or any planet, it’s shadow would not be located there, considering the sun was hanging low in the sky, although not yet at horizon level.
My sources are Stellarium, Astronomy.com’s StarDome and Google Earth which I used for exact directions, altitudes, and orbital information.
According to Stellarium with an ocean landscape to simulate sea level (Fairfax is 312 above Sea level) and being set to Perspective mode, Arcturus would have only been directly North East at 4 p.m. Not only would I not be able to see it with this much daylight, it would be below our roof, right under the horizon, effectively out of sight completely. Even at 6 p.m. Arcturus would be directly East. At 6 p.m. the Object was North East.
This video is not edited. I didn’t know how to use the camera at first, so I didn’t know I was recording in the beginning plus I felt that editing it would decrease credibility, so I left it unedited. And please excuse my language. My brother was being very annoying.
What I find very strange is that usually when a planet or bright star is observable during the daytime, they are usually mistaken for a UFO, and the reports pour in on MUFON and elsewhere. I have seen nothing on here or elsewhere similar to this on these dates,
Unless the 3rd party on the form is an Audio / Video Expert, I do not consent to this being distributed.
Also, I accidentally forgot to fill in some details on the form, so I am very sorry if I have made a duplicate post on the site.

The only thing FACT in this video, is that these are some real Fing hillbillies , that do not know how to use the "talaskoap" the just stole from WalMart!….LOL
What a joke and waste of time.
To the dumbass who thinks they are using a telescope – they are not. That is what is called a "video camera." You know, the things with "moving pictures." They also have a tripod. And I hear nothing but a Northern accent, given that it is in Fairfax which is in Northern Virginia and also one of the wealthiest counties in the nation, so WTF is that about them being hillbillies?
Three or four morons and video camera, great job can wait to see the wedding videos!
The video says nothing regarding a wedding.
