"This thing was completely still in the sky for 45 minutes – we have no idea what it was.

"She lost track of it because it started getting cloudy and once it cleared this thing had vanished.

"At one point it changed to a slight pink tinge but was mostly white and far too smooth to be a cloud.

"It would be interesting to hear other theories or if anyone else saw it.”
