bright white light slowing moving across night sky.December 15, 2007 My 7 year old daughter and I left our house at 6:20pm heading down to a neighbors house, all of our lights were out in our house because I was in the process of plugging our Christmas lights in. In our area the night sky is really dark and occasionally you can see satellites. I thought it would be really cool to show my daughter an orbiting satellite if I could locate one. I was standing in front of our house (which faces directly north) and I looked in a NNE direction in the sky and I witnessed a bright white light slowly heading in a NNW direction. I watched the light for about 45 seconds to a minute when my daughter started to ask me if we could hurry up and go. I didn't want to point it out to her becuase I thought she might get a little freaked out. As I watched the light move across the sky it faded to orange and gradually got smaller until it completely faded into the night sky and was no longer visible. After about 2 minutes the light was completely gone. When I first noticed the light I almost thought it could have been a spotlight from a helicopter, but there was no sound and because of the mountains in the canyon we live in, my thoughts are the elevation of the light appeared to be much higher than a helicopter would normally fly. The light gradually disappeared kind of like when you turn a clear light bulb off and the filament is still hot and glows and as it cools of it goes completely out.
