Bright "light bulb" object over North Wilkesboro, NC.I was on the front porch looking north at the stars in the night sky. There were planes flying north to south in their usual flight pattern for this area. Suddenly I noticed an odd light approximately 1,000 feet up flying west to east that resembled a very bright light bulb. It was rounded and extremely bright. I called my mother to come and see it, and we watched it fly along in a westerly direction towards downtown North Wilkesboro. It floated to a certain point and then appeared to turn right and head north, and upon turning, the light faded quickly and was gone. It was not a plane or a helicopter, had no navigational lights, and it made no noise.
