Duration: hour and a half+
No of observers: 1

Location: Scottsdale, AZ, USA

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object

I saw a cluster of white lights from 11:30pm-1:00am slowly moving across the sky.

At around 11:30pm on September 11, 2013, I saw an unfamiliar cluster of white lights in the sky. They looked like stars, so I just assumed I hadn't noticed them before. But around midnight I noticed that the cluster seemed to have moved slightly from where it was earlier. I paid close attention to it from midnight until almost 1:00am, and it was moving very slowly across the sky. From 11:30pm-1:00am, it moved about 5-6 inches in the sky.

I spent about an hour on the internet trying to find what this could be - satellites, weather balloon, - but I couldn't find anything. However, I noticed that the lights were in a similar formation to the Pleiades star cluster. But I did research on that and I didn't find anything that mentioned the Pleiades star cluster moving.

I left around 1:00am, so it could have been there much longer. I'm going to go out tonight and see if it's there again.
