Date: September 19, 2010
Time: Evening.

A group of us in Loveland saw this light, but it was moving. Very, very slowly. In a straight line westerly to easterly. Too slow for a plane and almost too slow for a satellite. It was bright red and every few seconds would blink off and then on again.

Not like the flashing lights on a plane but much more slowly. We watched it with great interest and puzzlement for several minutes until it disappeared behind a nearby building. But it did not emerge from the other side. It was just gone!

It must have been seen by many others because we watched it about ten minutes. If it was a satellite it was the slowest, reddest one I have ever seen.
Please let me know if you get any more info about this. I am very curious.

Time: Approx: 7:30 p.m.

I am in central Mississippi. Around 7:30pm I noticed a bright object high in the sky and slightly southwest (it was not Venus). I brought out my Orion Starblast 6 which I use as a rookie only. I received the scope as a gift and I can find some of the obvious items in space. I centered the object in the finder scope, then dropped in a 25mm eyepiece and found that the object was almost out of sight.

I found it and then dropped in a 10mm eyepiece and again the object was nearly out of sight, I found it. This entire time I am thinking that this is Jupiter. At first glance I still thought it was Jupiter with one moon visible. Once I focused I realized that the "moon" was rapidly moving around the sphere.



My wife was outside and I asked her to take a look. She saw the same thing. The "moon" appeared to be tethered to the main object that was a sphere. It was a perfect night for seeing with no distortion at all in the atmosphere. I looked again, then my wife and then me again. On this observation the sphere broke apart into many pieces that began to scatter rapidly. I then caught a red "flame" in the scope and followed it until it went behind the trees in my back yard. The red flame appeared to have a tail waiving behind it. I went inside and grabbed my phone and noticed that it was 744 pm.
