Duration: 15 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Tempe, AZ, USA

Shape: Light

Two objects near the moon hover move and disappear.

Taking my afternoon walk, looked up at the moon and noticed a very bright light just to the left of the moon which was at 1/2 moon phase, and up about 30 to 45 degrees up from the horizon. I was wearing prescription polarized sunglasses and after looking for a few seconds made out a smaller much more dim silver spot next to the bright light. Then the small silver one disappeared and the bright light began moving north or to the left of the moon. it moved appx. 3 feet at arms lenght at steady slow speed then stopped, stayed ffor about 10 minutes and disappeared.. There was air traffic at high altitude I would guess 35,000 feet east to west not near the objects but allowed me to guess these were near the top of the atmosphere, well above any air traffic.
