Shape: Light
Duration:seconds
Pacific NW light in the sky moving fast from North to South.

I think, on the night of July 26th, at around 11pm, I saw a bright light moving in the sky. I was in SE Portland, Oregon.

It was a partly cloudy, warm night. As I sat outside talking with friends I noticed this light moving from the north to the south. At first glance I thought I was seeing a shooting star, but I then realized this light was moving below the clouds. The speed was slower than a shooting star, but much faster than any aircraft I have ever known. I heard no sound either. Did anyone else in the Pacific NW see this?
