What looked like a typical satellite flashed and disappeared.

Looking west, I saw a non-flashing white light that I thought to be a satellite heading from north to south at a steady, typical pace for objects in orbit.

I watched this light for about 5 seconds before it became extremely bright and then disappeared.

I am confident that this was not a meteor/meteorite as I have seen them before on many occasions.

This honestly looked like a regular satellite until it flashed - maybe twice the size and brightness of Venus on a winter morning - then was gone. I have no idea what it was.




NUFORC Note:

Probable "flare" from "Iridium" satellite? PD
