White star looking object that grew very large, and disappeared. At first, I thought I was looking at an star, then realized it was moving. The light increased to a very large size, then dimmed quickly and disappeared. I watched for a while after to see if it would reappear and there was nothing. I have worked in the space industry for many years so this caught me off guard, as it was like nothing I have witnessed before. ((NUFORC Note: "Flare" from Iridium satellite? PD))
