Stationary light, not a star.

I saw it this morning. For about an hour he stood motionless in the sky east of Roanoke, Virginia, until the sun covered him. It's really cool if you can zoom in. I looked at it through binoculars and it turned out to be completely round. A black round object was moving in front of him. It is impossible to estimate the distance or size.

Stationary light, not a star.

Saw it this morning. It was stationary for about an hour in the sky east of Roanoke Va until the sun obscured it. It’s pretty cool if you can zoom in on it. I looked at it through binoculars and appeared perfectly round. There was a black circular object moving in front of it. No way to judge the distance or the size.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

The heavenly bodies

The brightest heavenly bodies in the sky are Venus, Jupiter, and sometimes Mars and, of course, the Moon.

Venus is the bright yellow of the evening or morning star, shining in the sky on the background of evening or dawn. Maximum brightness of Venus can reach up to 4.3 m, and she is the third brightness of the sun in earth's sky after the sun and the moon. It so well reflects the light of the Sun that it is relatively easy to see and day, especially if you know the location. It manifests itself in the form of tiny blinking white dots.

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials
