| very bright and silent light traveling across sky that camera captured as red and white bobber looking object. Sunday evening at 9:40 P.M. about in the middle of town in a backyard. I noticed a single bright light at approximately a 50 degree angle up and to the east, traveling from south to north and was silent. The light was atleast 4 times biggerthan any star in the sky. The skies were clear except for a few clouds on the horizon to the north. The object was intensely bright and had a shimmering copper look to it. It took the light approximately 1 to 1.5 minutes or so to reach the horizon where it blinked out over the clouds. I took a picture with my cell phone, and zoomed in on the photos revealing a bright round object with red/ orange on the top half and white on the bottom half. There is also a slight yellow blur in the middle and a yellowish contrail. |
