Bright white round light ball, no Nav lights, no sound from the craft and not a meteor too clow for that.
Around 10:00 pm. I was looking through my telescope with my grandson. From the southern sky a bright white object moved to the northeast at a high rate of speed. I was just able to get in my 6" telescope for a 10 seconds.
The light was perfectly round about the size of a disco ball with a very bright light, and no Nav lights, just a white ball of light. No sound at all with this object, I thought it was a star but the object moved across the sky from south to Northeast out of view in a 1 minute or longer, not a meteor this slow and no trailing light. It took a good minute or so to cross the full sky. Most high altitude jets take two or three minutes to move overhead and out of view. I checked Satellite and ISS tracking and none of them have an orbit path from south to a northeast.
