1. walked outside 2. within seconds saw the bright light dimming. 3. didn't know, plane with landing lights on maybe 4. bright light dimming to almost nothing, could still see it, reflecting in the moonlight, hovered in the same spot for 14 seconds or so then started moving eastward, thought it was maybe a plane but it started doubling speed continuously very quickly like i have never seen before, shooting across the northern sky within seconds disappearing in the northeast. as it disappeared i noticed where i lost eye sight of it happened to be in the vicinity where one of the local military cargo planes was flying. 5. excited to see something go from hovering to that kind of speed and ecceleration across the sky 6. was hard to see anyway but keeping my eye on it from the start and pointing at it as it moved across the sky until it was out of sight range for me.
