October 1, 2009, 9:28 pm CDTIn Amarillo Texas, Latitude 35 N, Longitude 102 W, Elevation 3300������Moon nearly full at Azimuth 129, Altitude 34.I spotted a very bright, star-like object completely out of place in the constellation Cassiopeia (azimuth 30, altitude 34, magnitude -3). I was surprised and perplexed. Without thinking, I immediately checked my bearings by glancing some 90 degrees to the southeast to confirm that the moon and Jupiter were where I expected them to be. As I looked back to the object I thought that it must be the International Space Station, but quickly decided that it was not because it was completely stationary. There was no flickering or pulsating, but it soon became evident that the object was gradually getting smaller and dimmer. In less than a minute it faded completely away and did not reappear.Apparently a Geostationary (geosynchronous) Satellite flash? I couldn���ft find much on the web about it and so assume that it���fs a fairly rare occurrence.More at http://www.unusualsightings.com/
