| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | About 5 minutes later as I continued looking up at the sky ( almost straight up, maybe about 87 degrees vertical), I saw another object, non-fire ball, about the size of a small star (a satellite perhaps?) move in a northward (about 30 degrees from north) move across the sky. No detectable sound, nor lights you would expect from a commercial aircraft. I have correctable prescription lenses and the sky was clear in the visible area. |
