Extreme bright light that moved very slow and then dissappearedAn extremely bright light hovering in the night sky. To bright to be the lights of an aircraft (planes hardly fly over our suburb even at that time). It was moving extremely slow and to bright and close to be a satelite. After approximately one minute it dissappeared like someone has put of the light switch.
