Bright light in Iowa skyI was driving east along highway 9 just outside of Rock Rapids and noticed bright light in eastern sky. At first I thought it was a star but the light then slowly faded away. Five minutes had passed then the light returned shined bright for about a minute then proceeded to head north. While moving in northern direction light slowly faded away. As I headed south of Allendorf I noticed the light again in the original spot previously before it moved. Shined and dimmed for about a minute then eventually dimmed completely out never saw the light again the rest of my trip.
