My wife called me outside at 7:15 PM on the evening of Wed. Feb. 8, 2012 to observe a light that was moving across the eastern sky in a north-south direction. I grabbed the camera and attempted to get a few photos before it disappeared. The best of the group is included. It is the bright light in the center of the photo. It stopped and then ascended. It then headed east and disappeared. Guessing its speed, elevation and distance is difficult because it was further away than it normally is. I'm guessing that it was at least 1/2 mile distant and of a similar height. We observed it for 3-4 minutes. No emissions, appendiges or noise was experienced.
