Like everyone else the night of Sept. 24th we were all watching for possible debris from the failing UARS satellite. I set my camera up on a tripod and took 10 photos each having a 2 minute exposure. Although I didn't capture any satellite debris, I did capture another strange light / object in the sky during the shot. This video documents the Strange event. This is the second strange light in the sky I've seen this month (sept 2011).

  • Probably just a satellite coming towards you. The flashing is normal as they rotate on their axis. It looks nearly geostationary. However, I was always under the impression that they were much too far out to see with the naked eye. Maybe not then...!

  • @HeavensGremlin thanks for the comments.. hmmm maybe?? But how do you explain the parallel object (fainter) off to the right of the brighter object?

    Have you seen my other Strange light over Snohomish clip ??  if so what do you think this might be?

see all

  • In the moonlight I meant of course...!

  • I already watched the other clip and commented. Here at 3:13 too, there is another tracking parallel just to it's right. Yes. The explanation could be just the same too. One needs to keep in mind that there are literally thousands of items of equipment and junk whizzing around up there, some of it 30-50 years old now. It's still shiny and clean, and even a small piece of crap can reflect. Flying at night, small ripples on a stream or lake are clearly visible from thousands of feet up.

  • man! keep doing this! u r brilliant!
