I had travelled to blackpoool with a friend on the friday nite 2/06/2017, at 22.00hrs,and after booking into the hotel, we went for a drink in the hotel bar this was by then 22.30.Another guest was already in the bar,i required a cigarette,and so went outside to the hotel front facing the sea and beach.I could see that the sky was clear,a full moon to my left and i presume venus shinning slightly lower to the left of the moon.The sky had the usual stars twinkling away,and i observed the odd high altitude planes moving coparatively slowly going through the sky.I was taken by an exceptionally bright object coming over the horizon from the see,this object shone brilliantly and moved at a pace faster than the planes i had seen ealier.I watched this for a minute or so.The other guest came out,for a smoke also.I pointed out the object to him,and so we both stood watching thsi thing coming over our heads,it was round shaped,then would appear to be oval,glowing with this intensity that outshone all the other stars above it,and was at least 3/4 times brighter than the moon. we could see planes flying high above this going at a snails pace compared to how fast this object moved.It maintained a constant pathway straight forwards.The other guest summised that it could be the mears space station travelling through the nitetime sky,but tho this is possible,i fell its altitude was far too low for such a flightpath.We both continued to watch this object travel inwards ,until it was no longer visible,at this point we re-entered the hotel
