Between 6:30 a.m. & 8:30 a.m. Jan.19,2008, I stepped outside onto our deck.And noticed in the southeast sky a brighter than normal star-I thought.But as I looked for other stars you know the ones that are visible at dawn.Those had faded except this very bright star-like thing. Well I'm thinking the morning sun is shining on the last astronamical object in our orbit or even in space. But as the sun rose , this object stayed visible. Don't forget I have a set of bi-nocs. handy! Well commensence tells me this object is in our atmosphere, fixed. With the sun rising this object really started shining and through bi-noculars it appeared spherical& metallic. As time passed and the sun was getting higher and the morning haze,and some high clouds I lost sight of what i was observing. Atmospheric conditions prevailed so the object could still be there!
