Bright white light seen over White Mountains
Our group of five were camped near Big Pine, California. At 22:36 Hours on June 16, 2014, my brother and I were looking north east towards the White Mountains. We saw what at first appeared to be a satellite on a north to south orbit. We realized this white light was brighter than any satellite we had ever seen and appeared to be within the atmosphere. It followed the crest of the mountains. During the approximate 20 seconds the light was visible it travelled from White Mountain in our north east to a position due east before blinking out.
We heard no noise signature coming from this light. It had no aircraft navigation lights or strobes.
