| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was standing in my backyard looking for my cat. It is very dark in our neighborhood. I saw the object, followed it, then pressed the knob on my Timex, which has a nighlight. I noted the exact time because I knew it was something unusual. Although I live in WA State now, I\'m from NY, and one of our closest friends is an astrophysicist, who ended up working on the Hubble telescope. We had gone with him on many scoping trips around New England when he was in graduate school, so while I\'ve never seen an object such as last night, I have seen stars and planets, etc., through telescopes. I hope this helps in some way. |
