Description: I saw a real bright light moving across the sky from north to south. This object was moving slowly, was not blinking and was just a solid bright white light. It looked like a real bright star and it couldn't have been a satellite. (Their not that bright and I have seen satellites.) It was definitely not an aircraft. Is there and explanation of what this thing could of been?
Comments: A glance at the "Heavens Above" web site (http://www.heavens-above.com) shows that no bright satellites were in the area at the time of the sighting. The ISS (International Space Station) was not visible. Therefore I can't explain this sighting. |
