Some may see an iridium flare around 8 as well, look on heavens above for directions.

I *think* I just saw it. I saw like 4 planes in the sky all flashing different colours - and then one white coloured object which seemed higher - and then suddenly disappeared. :confused:

I saw it, pretty impressive too. was only a light moving across the sky but awe inspiring none the less.

Aero · 26 Sep 2008 at 20:29

Yep watched it all the way until it faded, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

looked awesome, glad i saw this thread

I saw it nicely, but as it was almost directly overhead I saw something weird. I saw a V formation of lights going overhead. Looked like 6 of 7 lights in a V. It must have been a plane of some sort, but no noise and very odd looking.

I'm making a tin foil hat as a I speak

Be it a really bad one.
