Duration: ~2 minutes
No of observers: 4

Location: Sterling, MI, USA

Shape: Light


While star gazing and pointing out satellites, we were watching what we thought was a satellite when its intensity brightened making its size appear larger. This brightness lasted for a few seconds and then dimmed back to a normal satellite looking size.

A second satellite came into our view starting off large and bright and then dimming. I saw the same thing a few years back in the same location.

Do photo satellites have a flash? I didn't think so but that was the only theory that we all hit on with the exception of UFO.




NUFORC Note:

Possible Iridium satellite? PD
