On tuesday night, while walking the dogs, i noticed a bright light traveling from southwest to northeast. this is not unusual, we see any number of passenger and military jets passing overhead. and yes we can hear them as well, even the passenger jets at altitude. i always look at the night sky when i am outside. what was strange is there were no blinking marker lights... only the bright white light. as it traversed the crossed my field of view the intensity of the light never changed, even when it was obviously traveling away from me. never seen the headlight of a plane from behind before. again no marker or nav lights, no sound whatsoever. traveling too slow to be a satellite and i have seen plenty of those over the years. i am 53 yrs. old and was raised in a military family so i know jets and can estimate speeds. i am not urge what i saw, but it was interesting and somewhat exciting. the object appeared to be the same size as jupiter as view from my back yard. now i know some say well then you must have seen jupiter...Mbut jupiter doesn't travel at the speed this thing crossed the sky. unfortunately i didn't have a camera ,do no photos. i would love to see it again and get one photos.As isaid earlier it traveled from southwest to northeast, this is not the usual direction for jets in our area. bottom line... i'm sure i didn't see the usual jet or even a satellite , not ure what i saw, but i would love to see it again... just a light with no obvious outline and completely silent.
