Shape: Light

space based bright light that moves, then fades away

Approx 7-8 minutes ago, I went outside, looked up to the night sky, and saw what I thought was a star, turn brighter, then disappeared. I am in the DFW area, and the object was centered due North of my position, at approx 50-55 degree inclination, just North of the Little Dipper. It appears as though the distance would be a spaced based object. It was not the space station or the shuttle. I know what they look like when they pass over. I am 2 miles from an airport so I know what airplanes look like. It definately glowed brightly for 3-4 seconds, then disappeared. It actually moved, to what seemed like a Northern trajectory from it's original position. I know this sounds crazy, but it just happened.
