I suddenly got the thought to "look up..."I go to work very early in the morning. On Tuesday, April 15, at around 3:40 A.M., as I was just about to open my car door and get in, I suddenly got the thought to "look up". I did look up directly at a very bright light in the northwestern sky. It was bigger and brighter than any star or planet I have ever seen. As I watched, I noticed it was moving slowly due north. It remained bright for only a few seconds and rapidly faded to a very small and dim dot that continued north. I watched it for maybe ten seconds, and then got in my car and proceeded to work. I have to admit I was a little shaken by the experience because of my sudden impulse and thought to look up.This is not the first object I have seen and I have made quite a few reports here. I seem to see things like this quite often, not really sure why.I don't know what it was, but it was this single bright white light, MUCH larger and brighter than any star or planet I have ever seen. I did not see any red or green directional lights as aircraft have. I could not tell how high it was, but I got the impression it was very high up in the sky, maybe 30-40,000 feet or so. It was difficult to judge the speed as well, but it moved about the speed an airliner would move at high altitude.I have seen aircraft high in the sky light up when they reflect the sun, but this was a full 3 hours before sunrise, so I do not believe that is what I saw.Anyway, that is it, it was a very simple and short sighting, but it did shake me up for awhile that morning.
