NUFORC Sighting 43530

Occurred: 2003-12-05 19:00 Local - Approximate
Reported: 2005-04-17 18:51 Pacific
Duration: 10-15 seconds
No of observers: 0

Location: Miami, OK, USA

Shape: Light

As I stepped off my front porch I looked to the northern sky and seen a very bright light, much brighter than the stars around it.

I continued looking at it and it started getting smaller until it completely disappeared.

I now think it was moving away and getting smaller. I've seen some strange things in this area of NE Oklahoma,but this is the only one that I haven't been able to rationalize.

Thanks for your super site!

NUFORC Note:

Witness indicates that date of sighting is approximate. We wonder whether she might have been witness to a satellite, perhaps the International Space Station, which is quite bright in a clear sky. When a satellite flies into the shadow of the Earth, it dims, which leaves a witness on the ground with the impression that the object had diminished in size, and therefore, streaked away from the witness.
