Looked like a distant moving star, kept going.
I had gotten up, had my coffee and came outside. It was dark, warm and breezy and a starfilled sky. I pulled out a chair and sat down to just enjoy the beauty of the early morning. As I gazed up at the stars, I noticed one was moving and it just kept going, sort of west to east I'd say. It was like a medium size star, but it just kept moving and I had to get up and go to other side of house to follow it. Was it a satellite? There was no sound, and it seemed to be very high up in the atmosphere. Although it seemed to slow down a times, I can't really really say for sure. The path seemed to be fairly straight. Then I lost sight of it in the east.
