No of observers: 1

Location: North Las Vegas, NV, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

I was traveling south on I-15 at Mile Marker 66, just watching the road and looking up into the sky. I could see the Star or planet (im not sure which) and to the bottom left I could what i thought was a "star".

As I came over the last big hill before you can see town. I noticed as I moved south that this "star" was moving-ever so slowly up-in the five or so minutes it doubled altitude. I would guess it to be about 10 miles out-since I could clearly see the planes coming in from the north over the mountains with their strobes and red lights on. Mc Claren Airport would be about 20 miles from where I first saw the light ("star").

As I approached the city the "star" had gained altitutde and then slowly just winked out. Other than the aircraft for McClaren and Henderson I didnt see anything else like it. I am a professional trucker.
