Location: Delaware, OH, USA

Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

1 bright red orb

Came out to my back patio and looked up at the stars as I often do because I live in the country. I saw a bright red orb traveling west to east, went back inside to get my binoculars and when I came back out it was gone.

It must have picked up speed greatly. Because during the 5-10 seconds I was observing it the speed was constant. It took me probably 5 seconds to get my binoculars off the keyrack and I have a wide view range of the sky it is a clear night, so it must have increased its speed tremendously, in the time it took me to open my back door and grab my binoculars.

I don't think it was the ISS as it was on the other side of the planet at that time.
