I haven't sent it to NASA but I did file a report (with photos) with
MUFON <http://www.mufon.com/index.html> I sent them JPEGs but offered
them the original raw files if they wanted then. I haven't heard
anything from them and perhaps never will. Checking their case files I
see there was a bright disk observed over Jacksonville 2 days later. It
moved away at high speed and disappeared as 2 jets approached it.
I also sent the photos to my son. As a pilot for 25 years I thought
perhaps he had seen a similar cloud formation sometime while flying.
But he said he's never seen anything like it.
