If by some miracle this is actually true and this event does actually happen, this ship should be visible to most of this side of the earth. I took the time to estimate what 'span several states' means. My little red circle in this drawing has a diameter of about 500km.
Randy found a website that shows sizes of spacecraft from Sci-Fi movies.

To put this into perspective, the GFL ship is 3 times larger than the death star, 833 times larger than the USS Enterprise.
The International Space Station is 80m and is the 2nd brightest thing in the night sky next to the moon. Something 6250 times bigger should be visible from everywhere.

How many times bigger than the Borg cube that almost destroyed Earth in First Contact? :P
