ABSTRACT: This happened during an Army ROTC training weekend in a large wooded area on base. While on a land navigation exercise in the woods at about 2 am, perhaps 3ish, two other people in my fireteam and I witnessed a large ball of light traveling slowly over the treetops. there was a very high pitched humming noise. Our compasses were not working, but using terrain association we figured that it was heading roughly north/ northeast, at maybe 10-20 mph. It was moving much too slowly to be a missile or other projectile that I've ever seen, and was far too close to have been mistaken for a helicopter or an airplane. We have not reported this incident to anyone, although I have heard from other cadets in the NR Battalion besides those in my squad/fireteam that saw the same object early that morning. It passed almost over us, and I could not discern its shape, it was only a "blob" of light.
