Since witnessing simultaneous unidentified objects last month, I have been watching the night sky whenever I can, wondering if I will ever see them again.
Well, almost exactly a month later, at almost exactly the same time, and from the same location, I witness another strange event.....very different, but again, unexplainable. I just couldn't believe it!! A small white light appeared (it moved like a satellite, only much, much closer to Earth) from the northeast sky, travelling towards the southwest. It was low. I assumed it was an airplane, but as I studied it, there were no blinking lights. As I watched it, it seemed to slow down or even stop. It started to get brighter and brighter and it got to the point where it was just as bright as Jupiter, which was in the southeast sky that night. It reminded me of a plane that is coming in to an airport at night, with all it's bright landing lights on.
The object then seemed to change direction, I thought it was going to go due east, but as I watched, I realized it was changing its altitude as well as it's direction. It climbed fast and high, and dimmed quickly. I was able to see it for about 4 seconds before it was too high to see anymore. There was absolutely no sound, and it was definitely close enough that I should have been able to hear something.
I have been interested in the night sky since I was young, I go out to find constellations and planets, and like to view meteor showers and comets. In 20 years of looking at the sky, I've never witnessed anything unusual, now I've seen two of the strangest happenings all in one month. What is going on?
