Distant round object overhead with flashing light at center only visible with binoculars.
Just after sunset tonight, just as the stars were starting to show, I noticed a “star” overhead but slightly to the east that looked bigger than usual for any star at this time. It wasn’t necessarily brighter, but it seemed rounder like a planet would be if it were closer. I took out the Skyview app on my iPhone to see what might be in that location, but the app indicated nothing. Using the app, I could see that the object was approximately between the stars Vega and Etamin, but appeared to be moving slowly west. I retrieved my binoculars to get a better look as the object appeared to be either getting smaller or moving further away (up?). Through the binoculars I could clearly see a round disc or orb with a flashing white point of light at the center that seemed similar to what might be on an aircraft. I thought maybe I was seeing a balloon from below with a light beneath it. But I could not imagine a balloon being this high or in this region, ! though I suppose it is possible. After a few minutes the object and surrounding stars were obscured by clouds.
