Reported: 2004-08-31 18:35 Pacific
Duration: 30 min
No of observers: 4

Location: Wakefield, NH, USA

Shape: Changing
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Aircraft nearby

Bright white 5 -pointed object surrounded by hazy/cloud, travelled SW to N, then light diminished, haze remained.

Looking SW I saw a very bright light with a cloudy haze surrounding it. I initially assumed it was the full moon coming from behind a cloud, but the sky was otherwise clear with full visibility of stars. 10 minutes later I looked and this light had moved a large distance toward the north and through binoculars, the object appeared to be star-shaped with 5 appendages, the point to the left being the brightest. Over the next 5 minutes the object appeared to be a white haze in the sky but through binoculars perhaps, it seemed to be travelling upward and thus leaving only a dim light visible. I am on a lake with no light pollution and this was a unique viewing.
