Location: Hudson, WI
Shape: Light
Duration:2-3 minutes
My wife and I saw a light very high in the sky that was not a plane.

On August 4th 2008 at 7pm, my wife and I observed at very high altitude what appeared to me a blinking light that appeared to go around in a circle. It was clear, the sun was still out. I have very good vision and was unable to distiguish it as any type of airplane. At that same time there where a few planes I could see, also at high altitude and clearly could make them out as airplanes. It moved from East to West across the sky at about the same rate I would see a satilight at night.

Is it possible that I could have seen a satilight during the day? But that would not explain the light that appeared to rotate. I could make nothing out but the light. It was very very high in the sky.


((NUFORC Note: The ISS was visible over Hudson at 21:37 hrs. in the southwest sky. Hence, it quite well might have been seen by someone with good eyesight some 94 minutes earlier, we believe. PD))
