Bright, wobbling, white light moving accross the sky, no sound and moving fast compare to other airplanes and satellites.
I was with a friend when we noticed a bright white light moving across the sky. It was 5 times larger than the biggest star in the sky at the time and twice as bright.
It at first appeard to be an airplane since an airport is nearby and other aircraft were simultaneously visible, however as it went overhead there was no noise and we noticed a wobbling effect every couple seconds. I should also mention that these aircraft were likely commercial or private and weren't pursuing this object. There were also a couple satellites tracking across the sky high up in the background moving in varying directions, they were MUCH smaller and appeared to be moving MUCH slower than the object in question.
This light headed SE from NW and would suddendly wobble left and right, in a predictably rhythmic fashion every couple seconds or so. It wasn't changing course, instead, it appeared to rattle and continue straight... then over again, similar to wathing the line on a heartbeat monitor. It eventually faded out of view.
I've seen this object once before around the same time of evening on what appeared to be an identicle track, size, and brightness however there was no wobbling on the first occasion. I chalked the first sighting up as maybe a VERY LOW flying satellite if a type I've never seen.
My best guess for this most recent sighting is perhaps a weather balloon caught up in a large airmass with some resonant turbulance. Who knows????
