light crosses sky in 4-5 seconds
We were observing the night sky at Cherry Springs Park, an official dark skies astronomy state park.
We observed many satellites that night. However, we saw a light, whose size and appearance resembled a satellite. It was a tiny speck going across the sky, about 40 degrees up.
The strange part is that I have NEVER seen a satellite cross the sky as fast as this did. It crossed the entire sky in a matter of 4 to 5 seconds from north to south.
I have seen meteors, satellites, the space station. Again, I have never seen anything cross the sky so fast.
Wondering what it could have been...
