Duration: approx 1 minute
No of observers: 1

Location: Limassol, , Cyprus

Shape: Light

bright star like light travelling fast across the sky.

I was outside for a smoke when I noticed a bright star like object moving across the sky. It was travelling from east to west at a very fast but constant rate . I watched it for approx 1 minute as it seemed to dim very quickly and disappear.

NUFORC Note:

Ordinarily, we would first suspect a satellite, but visible satellites rarely, if ever, move to the west. PD
