| Strange light where there were no known planets or large stars in that vicinity Approximately 9:00 pm I was outside observing the night sky. I was looking west at approximately 40 degrees and noticed a large bright light where I knew there was no planet. I had not seen this light there before. This was located near but not in the Big Dipper Constellation. I watched the light for approximately 15 minutes and it appeared to be moving at a very slow pace. It seemed to twinkle and emit a faint glow. I tried to use telephone wires to gauge how far it had moved. A jetliner was passing in the area and it was moving much faster that this object. I don't believe it was the space station, as it had already been by around 7:21 at 11 degrees and was not scheduled to make another pass in my area that night. I went inside and about an hour later I came out, the light was gone. I did not notice the light last night when I went out to try to find it. What was it? |
