White light grew in size and disappeared. ((NUFORC Note: Possible flare from Iridium satellite?? PD))
White light grew in size and disappeared.
I was taking my dog out before bed when I heard this loud airplane roaring above, so I looked up in the sky and saw this solid white light passing near the plane.
All of a sudden it grew about 5 times in size for about 2 seconds, turned a light bluish color and then shrank until I couldn’t see it anymore.
The strange thing is it appeared to be traveling away from earth not north, south, east or west.
It was a clear night sky and lots of stars were out.
NUFORC Note:
Possible flare from Iridium satellite?? We have amended the date above, in order to reflect a nighttime sighting. PD
