Our opinion on what allegedly may have happened,
Based on the current information that has been provided to us.

We want to take a second and give a SHOUT OUT to our amazing aviation and rail fans!
Thank you for sharing this with RS.
Keep your eyes to the skies and your cameras to the rails!

A Lockheed ER-2  (U2) Dragon Lady with a tail number NASA806
(formerly TR-1A 80-1063 of the US Air Force)
Flew over our area, at approx. 60,000 feet.

Poor weather conditions prevented anyone from actually seeing the airplane.
There was no way to physically see this happen.

There are some reports of a strange Green light in the sky.
Around the same time the plane flew over our area.
Unknown if it is connected, or coincidence?

Thanks to technology and the internet.
You can track all different types of aircraft.
According to an online flight tracking website, FlightAware.

Lockheed ER-2  (U2) Dragon Lady with a tail number NASA806
(formerly TR-1A 80-1063 of the US Air Force)
The aircraft is registered to National Aeronautics and Space Administration 806.

NASA operates two Lockheed ER-2 Earth resources aircraft as flying laboratories in the Airborne Science Program under the Agency’s Science Mission Directorate. The aircraft, based at NASA Armstrong’s Building 703 in Palmdale, CA, collect information about Earth resources, celestial observations, atmospheric chemistry and dynamics, and oceanic processes. The aircraft also are used for electronic sensor research and development, satellite calibration, and satellite data validation.

The ER-2 is a versatile aircraft well suited to perform multiple mission tasks. The ER-2 operates at altitudes from 20,000 feet to 70,000 feet, which is above 99 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere. Depending on aircraft weight, the ER-2 reaches an initial cruise altitude of 65,000 feet within 20 minutes. Typical cruise speed is 410 knots. The range for a normal eight-hour mission is 3,000 nautical miles yielding seven hours of data collection at altitude. The aircraft is capable of longer missions in excess of 10 hours and ranges in excess of 6,000 nautical miles. The ER-2 can carry a maximum payload of 2,600 lb (1,179 kilograms) distributed in the equipment bay, nose area, and wing pods.

The aircraft has four large pressurized experiment compartments and a high capacity AC/DC electrical system, permitting it to carry a variety of payloads on a single mission. The modular design of the aircraft permits rapid installation or removal of payloads to meet changing mission requirements.

The aircraft is 63 feet long, with a wingspan of 104 feet. The top of the vertical tail is 16 feet above ground when the aircraft is on the bicycle-type landing gear. Cruising speeds are 410 knots, or 467 miles per hour, at altitude. A single General Electric F118 turbofan engine rated at 17,000 pounds thrust powers the ER-2.
