Shape: Orb

White Light, circular, N to S flight path, dim at first then bright whight back to dim, 30 seconds

Tonight at 9:35 pm, May 25th 2010, it was a dim white light traveling from a north to south line. When directly overhead the intensity of the light grew as bright as the ISS does and then slowly dimmed out again as it was when I first started watching opposed the flash i saw with ther object. The total time of the visible object was around 30 seconds. I could see the extreme humidity outside was very thick and can only see 1 or 2 visible stars. After checking the ISS flyovers of St.Louis, there are no orbital paths flying over here until June so it wasn't an ISS flyover or a satellite, because satellites always give off a reddish hue due to the infrared light reflected back off the earth. Again it was a bright white object started out as a dim light then in the middle of path grew extremely bright as the ISS is and then slowly dimmed out with a speed about as fast as the ISS flyovers are from what I can reference. There were no FAA lights, just one solid whi! te light, nothing blinking or flashing. No other planes in the sky before or after event.
