Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

The object started out as a dim light,such as a satelitte in our outer atmosphere.It seemed to appear out of nothing.It moved from east to west, it went from dim to a very bright white light then went back to dim as it continued in a western direction,then it completely disappeared.I was watching the stars looking for satelittes,it was a clear very starry night,away from city lights.There were aircraft in the vicinity,but not tracking the object.The object was too high for aircraft to fly.No blinking,colored lights,just bright white light.It was in outer space!!!
