Nightly aircraft seen over my town.

These things just float around most of the time in the same direction until 2 days ago. They look like silver balls from what I could tell and against the stars you can see them pretty well. That's all I used to see until the 22nd when one streaked by very low around 3 to 4 am with a bright light. I thought damn I barely got to see anything then looked in the other direction I usually look at then it came right in front of my view. these things don't usually have light but this one put on a quick show. When a shark attacks you see its lid roll over its eye well that's what the light did over this ball. It was more of a yellow then poof gone. The weird thing is It was a full moon and clear sky but I don't remember seeing the big dipper which is plain as day tonight.

My internet was really screwed up the next day but sometimes charter isn't all that reliable. I just wish I had a high powered telescope just to see them close up.
