Reported: 2009-08-29 21:06 Pacific
Duration: 3 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Arvada, CO, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

What looked like a simple satellite, changed color, became more bright and expanded in 3-4 times in size.

Watching what I thought to be a satellite. A small dim light, very high in the atmosphere moving steadily across the sky as I've witnessed other satellites do. The light changed color to a vivid blue then brightened and expanded to at least 3-4 times the original size, all while moving at the same steady speed. This lasted for about 10 seconds, then the light both dimmed and went back to it's original color. I watched it for a few moments more, then it simply winked out.
