Similar to last night's overflight, but this very bright object passed n to s this time. it was sometimes pulsating/blinking about once a second, but very bright for the several minutes it passed. after it "disappeared", i caught one more frame 3 minutes later, where it was very bright at the extreme southern horizon. it must have been exceptionally bright at that later moment, to register on the motion sensor when just a few degrees elevation, and heading far away. there was no satellite passing this bright on this path, according to heavens-above.Com, and it lasted far too long to be a meteor. it was some type of flying object, possibly a strange type of aircraft, because normally aircraft going over at night are very high and so faint they are almost invisible. this object was brighter than any planet. there is no commercial airport within 100 miles, so there is no reason a plane would have its landing lights on out here, and anyway, the object was uniformly bright as viewed from both its front and its back. i called in last night's sighting to the local police as well as china lake naval station and edwards afb, and they did not acknowledge any activities in my area.
