Wish I had a MRS. to enjoy it.

Looks like a giant nightlight or flashlight in the sky.

Amazing.

I am looking at the tree line in the sky from the light from the moon or the light cast on the evergreens.

Dr. Hans Zarkov: What do you find? The moon out of orbit?
Munson: By more than 12 degrees. This must be some sort of mistake.
Dr. Hans Zarkov: No, it's no mistake... IT'S AN ATTACK! I've been right all these years!

Well there were 3 or 4 Iridium satellites that went pretty much straight overhead between 9 and 9:30 PM, and a few other things. I’m not sure how bright they were, but they are usually at least comparable to airplanes.
