I just bought an app for my ipad plus called star chart. i wanted to get the name of a very bright star that i was viewing. i observed just below the star, what i first believed to be an aircraft traveling south with my naked eye. i quickly noticed that i was viewing a rhomboid shaped object with 5 horizontal solid lines of lights. the lights alternated red, white,red, white and red from top to bottom. my estimate of altitude was about 3 to 5 thousand feet. well over a mile from my position. it was about four times the size of a 747. it's light flashed about four times faster than normal aircraft. it travel in a straight line and made no sound. it jerked every time it moved.So it appeared to move a square at a time. hard to explain. the object moved in a straight line from horizon to horizon in about 45 seconds. it was almost like watching a projection of an object, very unnatural. there were no clouds in the sky, an extremely clear night. i should have heard noise if it were a jet propelled aircraft. the object moved from right to left and i just lost sight of it. during the sighting i was very puzzled and surprised. it was something that i had no reference for. i am a 68 year old retired sr. vice president of merck medco. as a young man i served as a sgt. in the usaf security police. i am a vietnam veteran and spent most of my service in the strategic air command. where i spent many hours at night patrolling run ways and watching the night skies. this is the first time in my life where i observed an object, in the night sky, that i could not explain or had no context for. i am very curious if any one has ever reported an object like this or if you might have an explanation for what i saw.
