Duration: 2 min
No of observers: 1

Location: Denver, CO, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

One pinpoint of light moved northward across the sky joining another before I lost them in the haze.

I was reading on the CU Denver campus and took a cigarette break laying on the grass and looking up into the clear blue sky with my sunglasses clipped on as the sun was going down over the Rockies. I saw a tiny pinpoint of light way up in the sky which I first thought was a star but then I noticed it was heading northward very slowly so I thought it was a satillite. I took off the clips and it was white with what looked like a corona. It was very far up and/or very small. I looked around and no one was looking up so I followed it about 20 degrees across the sky. I looked around again and when I found it again there was two. At that point I wanted someone to confirm it and I got up to go get somebody to look and I couldn't find it again as the further north it went, it got into a whiter part of the hazy/sunset horizon.
