I saw a super-bright light standing still for 30 seconds and a minute later it was moving

Ok I listed above that this happened on July 31st 2003 but I'm not sure that is the right date. But I know this happened between July 25 and August 5th. It was approximately 0300 hours. I walked onto my porch and sat down on. I looked up at the sky and I saw an unusually bright light. I gazed at it for about 30 seconds and wondered what it could be. At first I thought it must be a satellite. But I have never seen a satellite this bright. Then I thought maybe its a planet, but I have never seen a planet this bright either. Well I dismissed it (by the way I wasn't drinking) and I dont use drugs. Well about a minute later I looked back up and it was moving about as fast as an airplane in a straight line for about 10 seconds until the trees obscured it. It was west of me moving westward. It had no flashing lights, no colored lights. Now I am a skeptic. When this happened I thought it must have been a helicopter, but it looked as high as a star and had no flashing. I thought maybe I should call an agency and report it but I am pretty skeptical about UFO's and I thought what are the chances that I, someone who doesnt believe in UFO's, is going to see one. So I figured I would get online and see if anyone else reported a UFO that night. No one did. I haven't told anyone except my friend because people would think I'm crazy the same way I do about other people who report seeing UFO's. I was talking to my friend tonight and he is into UFO's and told me I should at least report it to you.

NUFORC Note:

Date is approximate. We suspect Mars may be the cause of the sighting. PD
