Very unusual sighting! was created by Frank Ryan
I just observed something very unusual at 11.06PM
At first I thought it was a Chinese lantern as it was glowing bright orange
and flickering in brightness.
It was not,.
It was fast moving and most surely something in orbit
(seasoned satellite observer here.. no it was not a plane!)
It tracked from just below Pegasus and moved eastward
the flare subsided just past Peg but I could still make it out
as it went out of my field of view.
Any body else see it!?
Any ideas what it was!?

to be honest... I saw something simular, like a satellite, but the bright deep orange color surprised me too. But for me (3E 51N)it was around 9h30, and low in NW.

Sounds like the re-entry of debris.
