Duration: 1 minute
No of observers: 1

Location: Point Pleasant, WV, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Bright light in the sky that reduces to a pin point, and quickly disappears.

I had taken one of my dogs out, and I noticed what looked like a very bright star in the north eastern sky. It was so bright that I thought it was probably a planet rather than a star, and I wondered if I could get a look at it through my husband’s telescope.

Suddenly the object dimmed to almost a pin point. It seemed to be moving horizontally for a moment, but I really couldn’t tell.

Suddenly, it was just gone. It went from being what seemed to be an unusually bright white star/planet in the night sky to being completely gone in less than a minute.

It disappeared without a trail or any obvious movement. It was not a falling star or any kind of air craft that had colored lights.

I did see the red/green flashing lights of an air craft in the south eastern sky a few moments later.
