So I'm sorry for the lack of concrete description, I'll happily answer any questions to clarify of it leads to identifying what I saw last Sunday night, August 28th. I was at friends place, in north Vancouver, Canada. I was looking towards south, south east. It was around 8pm PDT, I noticed a quite bright object moving pretty close to straight east, at what I would tend to think a satellite normally looks like. I called attention to it because it was much brighter than anything i've normally seen, that's moving like a satellite. It was the brightest light in the sky. About this same time I noticed an object traversing north to south, that looked like what I normally would say a satellite looks like. This all happened in about ten seconds, I called to our other friend to take a look and the first object was no longer visible.. I could guess the original object location in the sky, I'm sure that info would be helpful, I am just not sure what way you guys would normally measure that info, so I'll try to explain - looking towards the south, I'd say it was about 50-55 degrees, looking east it was maybe 35-45 degrees, I hope that makes sense. This object disappeared, observing the speed at it was traveling, it is very hard to believe it would have made it over the horizon. Any other info I can provide? I have one other person to confer with if I don't know the answer, or to solidify my assertions. Thank you very much for your time and hopeful for noob pity -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
