Moving star?

[Cebu_4_2]

Around 10pm I stepped out and looked at the sky and saw a star, pretty bright through a tree. I looked away and then looked back up and the thing was moving. Sure it's a plane or something but as it moved it was too bright to be a plane or anything else. I called my kid to check it out and the only thing that came to him was space shuttle. It was not a falling star or anything like that, this thing passed east to west and it never dimmed out like it should have near the horizon either. The earth should have blocked the sun near the horizon I would think.

Just real weird.

Satellite. You can see them in good numbers pretty much every time you look up depending on your level of light pollution.

Unless it turns at a ninety degree angle ,disappears and reappears , stops ,starts and you may even be abducted and probed in the usual manner then it was a satellite.They go straight across the sky and not as much fun..........http://www.nationalufocenter.com/artman/uploads/utahmothershipbig12july12.jpghttp://www.nationalufocenter.com/artman/publish/article_464.php

I was in the Sierra earlier this week. While watching the beginning of the Perseid Meteor Shower, I counted 13 satelites in an hour and a half. Sometimes there were two in the sky. Most were quite faint but one was oddly large, like when the space station crosses the sky. On a previous trip to the same area, I saw one that was red which makes no sense.

does this mean, you may have been scanned ?

There are observation satellites locked in geosynchronous movement with earth. Although they're not secret, you don't notice them, because they don't "move" like the satellites you are used to. They move with the Earth and always survey the same area.

Don't most satellites go west to east? Other than the ones that are in polar orbits.

Good catch, I was going to correct my observation but I though no one else knew any better.

Except for the ones that Cebu thinks are going West, but are really going East. :)
