I woke around 2:20 a.m. to use the bathroom. Outside the bathroom window, which faces east, I noticed an unusually large, very bright star low in the sky. It was exceptionally bright, and so large, I briefly wondered if it was a planet. I had never seen this ’star’ in the eastern sky before. It was so unusual that I just kept staring at it.
To my surprise it began to move slowly across the sky in a southeasterly direction. There are a couple of large trees in my backyard so as it traveled it would disappear behind a branch then emerge into sight on the other side of the tree. I watched it ‘fly’ all the way across the sky in a straight line, then it disappeared from my view, limited as it was, by the small window. It was not an airplane. I do not know what it was, but it was strange.
